to families in Jamaica, West Indies who cannot afford health care, she traveled there to lend nursing expertise and to live the CHS mission to “advocate for the poor and underserved.”

Jordan lives in Hempstead with her husband, Denroy Morris.

The other leading finalist for this notable honor is New Hyde Park resident Mary Ellen Conrad, director of the Nassau Day Programs and Supported Housing, from Maryhaven Center of Hope, Port Jefferson. For more than 30 years, she has been a proponent of the CHS mission, developing, implementing and sustaining one of the largest mental health service delivery systems in Nassau County.

Her career began when there was little funding to operate programs, so she had to creatively staff and run with both quality and efficiency. Having identified a need for residences for those with a mental health diagnosis as well as an intellectual or developmental disability, she presented the idea to administration.

When the facilities needed to meet the individual’s changing needs, she secured more than $750,000 in funding to renovate each of the homes, resulting in handicapaccessible homes for 30 individuals and another 31 individuals in supported housing beds in the community.

Today, these programs continue to be fully operational and are highly regarded by Nassau County and New York state.

Each year, Catholic Health Services (CHS) seeks nominations from its staff for the Patrick J. Scollard Award for Leadership. This year’s winner of CHS’s highest honor is Richard C. Bie, licensed professional engineer and assistant vice president, plant engineering for Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, West Islip. Chosen from among colleagues across CHS, he was recognized at the system’s 11th annual leadership conference, held at the DeMatteis Center in Greenvale.

“Richard’s commitment to Catholic Health Service’s mission is apparent in both word and deed,” said CHS President and Chief Executive Officer Alan D. Guerci, MD. “He is dedicated to assuring that those who seek care are provided the best possible environment.”

Bie has spent the better part of his career applying his unique skills and talents to the health care industry, including the last five years with Good Samaritan.

There, he implemented energy efficiency processes throughout the hospital such as operational changes to shut off equipment during unoccupied hours, a house-wide steam trap maintenance and repair program, expansion of a central chilled water distribution system, and replacement of older lighting within the main hospital and off-sites with newer, more efficient LED lighting.

Also, he collaborates with others throughout the facility in planning for and addressing complex challenges to improve results, leading to significant cost savings, simpler processes and quicker response times.

Commencement Celebration Stony Brook University held its 17th Annual December commencement ceremony today in the newly renovated Island Federal Credit Union Arena, where 1,571 students had their degrees conferred.

The new graduates, which range in age from 20–77, joined approximately 150,000 of their predecessors around the globe whose lives and work personify the Stony Brook University mission.

During his commencement address, Stony Brook University President Samuel L.

Stanley Jr., M.D., spoke about the tradition of graduation, the increasing value of a Stony Brook degree, and reinforced the competitive advantages and opportunities that Stony Brook graduates will have as they enter new chapters in their lives.

“Recently some have questioned the value of a college degree, have stated that a college education may not be worth its cost.

Let me make it very clear.

Your investment in your Stony Brook degree will be one of the best investments you (and your family) ever

made,” said President Stanley.

“In addition to earning higher wages,” he continued, “college graduates are more likely to find jobs than those who didn’t attend college.

Your decision to attend and receive a degree from Stony Brook University means you are on a path towards a better life, and I congratulate you on that choice and your future.”

President Stanley also encouraged students to keep in touch with mentors and professors who helped graduates achieve

academic success. He urged students not to “lose these valued mentors, as they can continue to play an important role in your life, a wonderful source for counsel, free advice, and those ever so important recommendations.”

He continued to reassure graduates that “wherever in the world you end up, know that we are proud of you, and that you will always have a home at Stony Brook University.”

At the ceremony, remarks were also delivered by U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-

NY) and student speaker, Danielle DeSantis, who received a Bachelors of Arts in Sociology. DeSantis, selected by a committee of staff and faculty from a pool of submitted speeches provided through the annual senior speaker competition, shared her thoughts about her years as a Seawolf and offered the following advice to her fellow graduates: “…Go find your mountain! Go see what’s beyond this wave of life, and howl to the world ‘I am a Seawolf!’ … Stony Brook gave us our sea, and now

we need to take the reins into our own hands and see what is past the waves of college.“ Next month, DesSantis will begin classes toward the pursuit of a Master of Arts degree in Higher Education Administration at Stony Brook University.

groups which provides a comfort and familiarity level to those veterans seeking assistance.

Since its inception in 2012, over 2,000 veterans have participated in the Joseph P. Dwyer Project where they share their experiences with fellow veterans and allow the healing process to begin.

As part of the outreach effort, the Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency issued an informational pamphlet on the Joseph P. Dwyer Project to veteran households

throughout the County.

“Suffolk is home to the largest veteran population in the State of New York, the second largest in the United States, and we need to ensure that they are taken care of each and everyday,” said Congressman-elect Lee Zeldin. “We know that holiday time is often the hardest time of the year for families who lost their sons or daughters.

We will never forget their sacrifice to protect our freedom and way of life.”

As State Senator, Zeldin increased funding

in the 2014-2015 state budget to continue the expansion of the Joseph Dwyer Project.

The additional funding and success of the program in Suffolk County has allowed the program to be instituted in 12 counties throughout the State.

Joseph P. Dwyer Project meets weekly in areas throughout the County including: St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue, Beacon House in Bay Shore, Sag Harbor, The Vets Place in Yaphank, Rose Caracappa senior center in Mt. Sinai,

The stuffy nose, aches and pains that often accompany the common cold can leave sufferers feeling miserable for a week or more. Cold season seems to kick into high gear when the temperatures drop, but this can be the year you don’t come down with a case of the sniffles. The following cold prevention tips can increase your chances of making it to spring without losing any days or sleep to the common cold.

• Keep kids clean.

School-aged kids tend to carry home lots of germs, so when kids get home after a long day at school, make sure they wash their hands thoroughly and change

into fresh outfits. Such precautionary measures can keep colds and other illnesses from running rampant through your house.

• Go outdoors and get some fresh air. It’s a myth that cold air will bring on a cold. In reality, being outside instead of congregating indoors with other sick people may decrease your risk of getting a cold. Don’t be afraid to go outside when the temperatures drop for fear of getting sick. Fresh air and exercise can be good for you.

• Drink plenty of fluids. Keeping your body hydrated will help flush toxins out of your body, strengthening your immune system and

making it more capable of fending off colds.

• Keep your distance.

Did you know the cold virus can be shot up to three feet away when someone sneezes? The virus travels on the small droplets of saliva and mucus that get propelled from the nose and mouth of a sick individual. If you know someone is sick, stay as far away as possible and wash your hands frequently, paying special attention to your fingertips.

• Wipe down surfaces.

The cold virus can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours. That means a sick person can easily transfer a virus by touching a computer keyboard or remote control he

or she shares with others. Use disinfecting wipes or warm, soapy water to clean off doorknobs, telephones, light switches, cabinet handles, and anything that is frequently touched around a home or business.

• Let it out gently.

Blowing your nose forcefully or pinching your nose to hold back sneezes can irritate nasal passageways and make them more vulnerable to infection.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. If you are well, keep your hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes.

Viruses are especially good at entering the body through the mucus

membranes located in these areas of the body. A combination of frequent handwashing and avoiding touching your face can keep colds at bay.

• Maintain your exercise routine. Regular exercise can boost the body’s immune system and help it to fend off foreign invaders, including the cold virus.

A recent study found that taking vitamin C in addition to daily exercise can reduce your risk of cold and cut the duration of the cold should you get one. Before taking any supplements, speak with your doctor to make sure they won’t interact negatively with other medications.

• Recognize that

Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months.

A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, it’s important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.

• Avocado: Avocado has high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters. Foods

high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winterrelated depression.

• Pomegranate: This quirky fruit has vitamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber.

Pomegranate has antiinflammatory properties, which can help in reducing joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegranate may also help the body fight viruses.

• Cinnamon: Cinnamon has high levels of antioxidants, and some studies point to cinnamon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon also can help regulate bloodglucose levels, which is beneficial for those with

diabetes.

• Prunes: Now widely referred to as “dried plums,” prunes are an important source of boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High in antioxidants, prunes help the body fight a variety of illnesses.

• Cabbage: Cabbage may be a key element in the fight against cancer.

Cabbage has phytochemicals that can protect the body against cancer-causing free radicals. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a sluggish digestive system.

• Butternut Squash: This food is packed with carotenoids, which are

stellar antioxidants. The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties.

• Chestnuts: Chestnuts have high levels of protein. are worthy of inclusion They’re also packed with in anyone’s diet. Unlike vitamin C and B vitamins. many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but

antibiotics are not the answer. Antibiotics are only effective at treating bacterial infections, not viruses, which means they are ineffective at fighting the cold virus.

• If you do get sick, play it smart. Should you succumb to a cold in spite of your best efforts, steer clear of others so you are not spreading the virus.

Rest and fuel your body with healthy foods and beverages. There’s no need to visit a doctor for a cold unless you have a fever after several days of being sick. Colds normally last between seven and 10 days. If your symptoms do not improve or if they seem to be worsening, visit your doctor.

Everything Old Is New Again By: Jamie Lynn Ryan So did everyone get what you wanted for Christmas this year?

Aside from the pleasure of each other’s company, of course…

I asked for a combination DVD/VCR player – one of those retro, bordering-onobsolete creations that I personally feel should be a staple of every household. How else can you view all those old home movies and classic Disney videos? And, in my case, about 20 years’

worth of dance recital recordings…

Add to that the fact that, given the option, I would much rather watch a DVD movie rental on a flat screen TV as opposed to my computer monitor. Sure, I realize most people stream media on their laptops nowadays; but I’m not most people, and I would like to have the option of viewing movies on something larger than a smartphone.

Hence, my request for this outdated piece of machinery, the gift

that keeps on giving, allowing us the pleasure of reliving those timeless memories on a larger scale. Priceless, if you ask me.

So once the winter weather settles in and hibernation starts looking awfully appealing, I plan to fire up the old (new) machine and have myself a minimarathon of movies, TV series I’ve been meaning to catch up on – and of course those classic dance routines.

Happy, Healthy New Year to all!

Auld Lang Syne Origins New Year’s Eve festivities peak when the official countdown of the clock begins. After the ball drops and midnight has arrived, revelers cheer to the new year and exchange kisses and well wishes.

Once such wishes have been exchanged, many people begin to sing “Auld Lang Syne.” But few know what “Auld Lang Syne” means or why it is sung on New Year’s Eve. Confusion regarding this song is almost as notable as the tradition of singing it. Many people mumble through the lyrics because they never bothered to learn them.

“Auld Lang Syne” is a Scottish composition that is well over 200 years old.

Written by Robert Burns in the 1700s, the author never intended for the song to become a staple of the holiday season. It was originally a poem that was

later put to the tune of a traditional folk song. The title translates roughly in English as “old long since,” or “long, long ago.”

The song pays homage to times gone by and past experiences.

The song has been performed at group jamborees, funerals and other special occasions all over the world, but it is best known for its affiliation with New Year’s festivities. The man behind that affiliation may be Canadian musician Guy Lombardo, whose band used “Auld Lang Syne” as a bridge between two radio programs during a live New Year’s Eve performance in 1929.

Coincidentally, the song was played directly after the clock struck midnight, laying the groundwork for a New Year’s Eve tradition. Now “Auld Lang Syne” has forever been

tied to well-intentioned resolutions and sappy slaps on the back. Despite selling millions of records, Lombardo became more famous for his New Year’s Eve song than anything else.

Confusion over “Auld Lang Syne” remains to this day. It has been the butt of jokes in popular culture, even earning a nod in the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” Harry laments to Sally that he never quite understood what the song meant and ponders whether it is about forgetting about friends or remembering them. Sally sums it up by saying the song is simply about old friends.

That is the interpretation many New Year’s Eve celebrants embrace as they toast to the new year and sing their hearts out.

The Key To Keeping Resolutions New Year’s resolutions provide a perfect opportunity to set positive goals for the year to come.

Old habits can be hard to break, which can make it difficult for men and women to stay committed to their New Year’s resolutions. But a new year marks a new chapter, and the following are some ways you can ensure this year’s resolutions don’t go unresolved.

• Be specific. A resolution that’s too general may ultimately prove ineffective. For example, if you resolve to lose weight this year, you probably hope to lose a substantial amount of weight over the next 12 months, as opposed to just one or two pounds. If you set specific and periodic goals, such as lose one to two pounds by the end of January, as part of your resolution, then you are building in some measuring sticks along the way, and meeting those measuring sticks can motivate you to stay

on course and realize your resolution by year’s end.

• Don’t go overboard.

If you traditionally find resolutions hard to live up to, then stick to a single resolution this year. This allows you to focus your efforts more effectively and ensures you won’t be overburdened, which could negatively impact your ability to realize your resolutions.

• Use technology. Saving more money is a popular New Year’s resolution, and now men and women looking to save more can employ technology to help them realize their financial goals. If your goal for the coming year is to save ‘X’ amount of dollars, sit down and calculate how much you need to save each pay period to realize that goal. You can then have that figure automatically deposited into an interestbearing savings account each time your paycheck is deposited into your account.

• Enlist a friend. If your

New Year’s resolution is one that others can apply to their own lives, then by all means enlist a friend.

For example, men and women who want to find more time to exercise in the coming year can enlist a friend or family member to exercise with them. The buddy system is a great motivating tool, and enlisting the help of a friend or family member provides the added benefit of seeing that loved one more often in the year ahead.

• Don’t let setbacks derail your resolution.

Resolutions too often fall by the wayside when men and women experience setbacks directly related to their resolutions. If you resolved to save more money but had a month when that simply was not possible, don’t allow that to derail your resolution for the rest of the year.

Setbacks are nearly inevitable, but they’re never an excuse to give up on a resolution.

Traditions Of Three Kings Day Christmas celebrants realize that the holiday season does not end on December 26th or even January 2nd. For many people, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are merely a prelude to the real celebration to come on Three Kings Day. Three Kings Day, or Día de los Très Reyes, is celebrated on January 6th to honor the wise men who visited and brought gifts to Jesus Christ. Also known as the Epiphany, the holiday marks the end of the Christmas season for many practicing Christians.

Very little is known about the kings, or magi.

These kings, who are only mentioned once in the Gospel of Matthew, are never named. The story says they hail from the “east” and are guided to the manger by a mysterious light in the sky. They begin a journey to bring gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn

king. Unbeknownst to many, the popular song “The 12 Days of Christmas” actually marks the 12 days following Christmas, ending on the Feast of the Epiphany, and not the 12 days preceding Christmas Day. Many traditions are associated with the Epiphany. Celebrants in Mexico serve Rosca de Reyes, an oval-shaped cake that symbolizes a crown.

The cake has a small doll inside that represents baby Jesus and the hiding of Jesus from King Herod’s troops. Herod ordered his soldiers to seek out and murder all male infants born in Bethlehem in retaliation of the prophecy that a messiah would come and become the new King of Jerusalem.

Roscas can be made with dried and candied fruits to symbolize the jewels that adorn real crowns.

Whoever receives the plastic doll in his or her

slice of cake is expected to throw a party on Diá de la Candelaria (Candlemas Day), which occurs each year on February 2nd.

Unlike in the United States, where gifts are typically exchanged on Christmas Day, much of the Latin community exchange gifts on the eve of January 6th. Puerto Rican children have been known to gather grass or straw in shoeboxes for the kings’ horses or camels. Some families display carvings and artwork of the three magi atop camels.

Many celebrants participate in Three Kings Day parades and festivals.

Family gatherings and parties that would rival other special holidays are common as well. A special meal consisting of corn tamales and hot chocolate may be served, while others may enjoy black beans, picadillo and yucca.

Times Square Traditions Thousands of people congregate in Times Square every year to watch the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. Millions more around the world watch the event on television.

This world famous tradition dates back to 1904, when the New York Times relocated to what was then known as Longacre Square. The paper convinced the city to rename the area in its honor, and the area was soon deemed “Times Square.” At the end of his newspaper’s first year in its new location, Times owner Adolph Ochs held a large bash, complete with fireworks and other festivities.

The party became a yearend tradition. But a few years later, fireworks were banned by city officials, so the Times had to come up with another spectacle for its party. They hired Jacob Starr to build a wood-and-iron ball that weighed 700 pounds and was illuminated with 100 25-watt light bulbs. Sign maker Artkraft Strauss was responsible for lowering the ball, which slowly descended from a special flagpole at midnight on New Year’s Eve, marking the beginning of the balldropping tradition.

The Times Square illuminated ball was lowered almost every year since then, except

in observance of wartime blackouts in 1942 and 1943. This iconic New Year’s symbol has been redesigned seven times through the years. The ball is now 12 feet in diameter and weighs nearly 12,000 pounds - about the same as four compact cars combined. The ball is covered in 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles that vary in size and is illuminated by 32,256 Philips Luxeon Rebel LEDs. The Times Square ball is capable of producing a palette of more than 16 million vibrant colors and billions of patterns and now stands as a permanent fixture atop One Times Square.

Participants in the Coney Island Polar Bear Club’s ninth annual Coney Island Polar Dip will plunge into the frigid Atlantic Ocean on New Year’s Day to raise money to send more New York families to Camp Sunshine.

The January 1st fundraising event will test the mettle of participants who must dip into nearfreezing ocean waters at Riegelmann Boardwalk in historic Coney Island in Brooklyn. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with plunges beginning at 1 p.m.

Camp Sunshine is a oneof-a-kind national retreat in Maine for children with life-threatening illnesses

and their families. The Coney Island Polar Dip is partnering with TeamRaiser, a popular online fundraising platform, to make it easier to fundraise. To donate online, form or join a team, visit http://www. freezinforareason.com.

For more information, call 207.655.3800.

Participants can avoid long lines on New Year’s Day by registering online as soon as possible and making a minimum $20 donation to trigger express registration and entry into the earlier PLUNGE waves.

Organizers have set a goal to raise more than $50,000 – enough to send 25 New York families to

Camp Sunshine (www. campsunshine.org).

Plungers who raise $100 or more will receive a highly coveted long sleeve Freezin’ for a Reason “I DID IT” event shirt. Participants over 21 years old also will receive a limited edition “The Plunge” pint glass, complements of Coney Island Brewing Company, and an invitation to an exclusive after party with the Coney Island Polar Bear Club at Peggy O’Neill’s Bar and Restaurant.

“It’s that time of year again, time to dig out your swimsuit and take the plunge with family, friends and co-workers for an event that is as

17

Polar Bear Plunge heartwarming as it is bone chilling,” said Michael Smith, Camp Sunshine’s Director of Special Events. “That’s why we call it Freezin’ for a Reason.”

Plungers are encouraged to bring warm clothes, surf boots or old sneakers, and towels. The NYC Parks Department is providing changing facilities.

Nestled alongside the shores of beautiful Sebago Lake in Casco, Maine, Camp Sunshine ( w w w. c a m p s u n s h i n e . org) offers children with life-threatening illnesses and their families a place to relax together for a week and to take a break from the extraordinary

demands placed on them on a daily basis.

The year-round program is free of charge and staffed almost entirely by volunteers. It is the only program in the nation whose mission is to address the impact of a life-threatening illness on every member of the immediate family.

Since the opening of the Camp’s year-round campus in 2001, more ill children and their families have come from New York than any other state in the nation. In 2013, 152 families from New York attended the Camp. Even with multiple sessions being added annually at Camp Sunshine, there are still

many more children from New York being newly diagnosed each year, Smith said.

Camp Sunshine’s program continues to be recommended by the following New York treatment centers: Mount Sinai Medical Center, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Schneider’s Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York University Medical Center, Brooklyn Hospital Center, Westchester Medical Center, Stony Brook Medical Center, and numerous others.

Association for their generous donation,” said John Cascone, Red Cross Disaster Program Manager, “The Red Cross relies on donations such as this to deliver the vital services we provide to those affected by fires and other disasters that strike our community.”

Pape concluded, “These organizations represent what we, as school bus contractors,

try to emulate every single day – a sincere dedication to our schools and the families and children that live in our communities.

We’re lucky to have the United Way and the Red Cross around, not only as exceptional community partners, but as neighbors and as friends.”

businesses destroyed or badly damaged.

President and Chief Executive Officer of the United Way of Long Island, Theresa Regnante, “We’re thrilled to receive the support from the New York School Bus Contractors Association, especially during the holiday season when hundreds of families rely on the assistance. Half of the

money will go towards our Project Warmth program which helps families, the elderly, and the disabled heat their homes, and the other half to help provide children in underserved school districts with school supplies.”

John Corrado, President of Suffolk Transportation, and Treasurer of the New York School Bus Contractors

Association, presented the check to the United Way. Presenting the check to the Red Cross was Phil Vallone, Past-President of the New York School Bus Contractors Association and President of Rolling V Transportation.
