Easter Sunrise Worship Service Director Emeritus of the Council. He also will tell a story to children (and the young at heart) from his collection “Sharing the Good News with Children,” published by Franciscan Media. Liturgical dancers from St. David’s Episcopal Church in Cambria Heights, led by Carol Callendar, will perform.

In addition, the Bethpage New Apostolic Church choir and the men’s choir

from Woodbury New Apostolic Church will both sing. Other worship leaders will include the Rev. Ron Garner, pastor of Wantagh Memorial Congregational Church, the Rev. Moira Ahearne from Community Presbyterian Church in Merrick and Yolanda Murray from the LICC’s Freeport office.

The Council of Churches has been hosting this annual event for many

Moving Forward

years.

“It has grown steadily over the past fifteen years or so,” Goodhue notes, “drawing hundreds of people from all sorts of backgrounds. Easter celebrates something completely unexpected, Jesus being raised from the dead and God triumphing over injustice. This worship service always celebrates the Resurrection in some way that is fresh and new.

This year we will have the

liturgical dancers from Cambria Heights for the first time and two choirs from the New Apostolic Church, the newest denomination to join the Council of Churches. I’m glad to be leading it one more time.”

The service will begin at 6:30 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, Parking Field 6. This is just east of the East Bathhouse, which itself is east of the Wantagh

all our lives.

Threats: Just as a starter, in this volatile environment, I prefer to use the word obstacle instead. Both mean the same thing. It occurs when something happens, which stands in the way we do things and causes anxiety and confusion. An example here would be the current plight of the original yellow cabs who paid high prices for a medallion and had a virtual monopoly of the rides given to passengers. Who knew! Now, with the rise of Uber (and several others), the monopoly has vanished.

So…what does all this mean to you, and how can you use SWOT in your personal life? Let’s examine each of the four words and compare their relevance to you.

Before beginning, please observe the following guidelines: Select three people who know you very well. The first can be your partner in marriage, or someone who knows you very well. The other two should be friends who also know you. Ask each one how they would rank you in each of the four categories. Do this separately, then compare the answers to each category, and obtain an average for all four. {Note: Do not get upset or angry with anyone, and always weed out any extreme bias to each question.} Strengths: What are you really good at? What are the reasons that people like you? Is it your personality or the way you have

a natural tendency to put others at ease, or is it the way that you can easily defer anger in others?

I’m sure that you have other trait clusters, which add to your personal inventory.

Weaknesses: Let’s face it, all of us have our weak spots, and in those who are ranking, some areas that you were not aware of might come to the surface. This list gives you a real opportunity to work on these faults and become a better person in the bargain.

Opportunities: Here is a great way to become a well-rounded personality with a chance to really shine. What might be some opportunities open to you? Every case is different; here are just a few: volunteering for a charity, helping out in little league, volunteering in your school to become a “reader” (this is especially good if you have a son or daughter in the school).

As a veteran, I discovered a real opportunity in volunteering to help out my brothers in our local VA center.

Threats: What stands in your way in coping through everyday life? Not getting personal, but perhaps it could be money or family problems, or a host of others that stand in your way. You know best on this. ‘Nuff said.

Summary: All of the above traits, now customized for you, really work. So why not get started and SWOT yourself for the many benefits available to you?

The Many Benefits of SWOT If you are like most people, you are probably wondering what in the world is SWOT? However, what if I could show you what the initials mean and how this tool is used by most companies around the world; but, most importantly, how you can also use it to simplify your daily life to make it richer and more satisfying?

Still interested? Then read on for a really worthwhile new experience.

Let’s take a look at what these initials mean to business organizations: Strengths: What are the current strengths of the organization? How does it compare to its competitors?

What is it best known for? In what ways are they outstanding in the industry?

Weaknesses: In what ways do they fall short in performance?

Customer service?

Product performance? Durabily? Weakness in the top management? The list goes on.

Opportunities: What is happening in the environment which opens the way for expansion and the possibilities for increased profit? Some current examples are the huge expansion of need for our aging population in health care and medical services. Another is the rapidly growing area of technology and robotics, where robots are now taking over many of the jobs held by American workers. Almost every day, one can read about some startling discovery which enriches

Parkway. Look for a large blue Long Island Council of Churches banner. The service will be brief (about half an hour) and fairly informal. Dress warmly and bring a blanket or beach chair. Donations for the LICC’s emergency food pantries and monetary contributions for the pantries will be gladly received.

Every shelter animal comes with a sad story that they’re unable to communicate.

Abuse, neglect, abandonment and displacement leave them frightened, bewildered, often despondent and desperately seeking a friend. Pet Peeves, Inc., an umbrella organization that provides financial support to Long Island animal shelters, pet rescue groups, humane education programs and pet therapy programs is hosting its annual Unleash the Love!

Luncheon Friday, April 27th at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury.

Unleash the Love! is Pet Peeves major fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from the luncheon directly benefit local shelters, rescue groups and other programs. Tickets are on sale now at www.petpeeves. org. RSVPs are requested

by April 15th.

“We think of Pet Peeves as the voice of Long Island pets in need,” says the organization’s founder, Janine Dion. “As a fundraising organization, we do not perform the hands-on rescue but through corporate and individual donations fund the shelters, rescue groups

ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS!

and individuals who work on the front lines. The monies we raise go directly to animal rescue, care and rehabilitation – not to administration, salaries or issues that do not directly impact the welfare of the animals.”

Pet Peeves is a 100% volunteer-driven organization made up of compassionate individuals and corporations who want to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable companion animals and give them a second chance by supplying the funds needed for food, medical care and a warm place to sleep. Most of all, Pet Peeves helps nonprofit rescue groups and shelters give these desperate animals a chance to find a new family and home through adoption programs.

Through its grant process, Pet Peeves provides funds for spay/ neuter programs, low cost

and free clinics, medical supplies, trap-neuterreturn [TNR] programs for feral cats and Safe Haven Programs.

The organization is also an avid supporter of pet therapy programs and continually seeks to raise funds and awareness of the programs that bring companion animals into hospitals, nursing homes and schools. It actively supports Humane Education initiatives that provide workshops, seminars and lectures geared to children and their families who own pets, are considering owning a pet, or have avoided pet ownership due to misconceptions or lack of information.

Marie Laura Pet Peeves would like to Paterna Xenakis 631-943-1683 631-255-8026 thank Bethpage Federal Credit Union for its support as the presenting partner Call Marie Or Laura of this year’s Unleash Trust Our Many Years Of Full Time Real Estate Experience the Love!

My Spring Awakening

subject matter; however, I feel it an appropriate moniker on this, March 21st, as I begin to put my thoughts together for the column you are reading.

To start, I have been curious for some time as to why the dates for the first “official” days of each of our four seasons seem to fluctuate year to year when, back in school, the calendar remained fairly standard. The Summer and Winter Solstices fell on June 21st and December 21st, respectively; and the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes occurred on March 21st and September 23rd, without fail. Now, it seems most have been pushed up by an entire day, throwing my entire elementary school curriculum into question.

that the earth’s elliptical orbit is gradually changing year after year, causing a slight difference in when the planet reaches its 90-degree intervals around the sun, signaling the change of season. Additionally, the concept that days of Equinox result in the precisely equal separation of day and night is also not quite accurate.

This, apparently, is due to atmospheric conditions which lead to “refraction,” leading us to believe we are seeing the sun slightly prior to its rise and a bit past its set.

up outside, courtesy of our latest Nor’easter.} And yet, there is something to having a calendar decree that this, today (or yesterday, as the case may be), marks the beginning of something.

Notice we do not commemorate the “end” of Winter, but rather, the start of Spring. Positive, proactive, looking ahead, with hope and great expectations of things to come. That’s the spirit we as a society wish to embody, even if only on paper. The key, of course, is to take that Science aside, it would be philosophy to the streets, to nice to have a mutually agreed- truly live with that same sense upon date to celebrate these of urgency and drive.

Ready to Win and Heal

WE’RE HIRING! 2 POSITIONS AVAILABLE

It hurts to see when scum covers the river When the waters cannot flow anymore!

When pollution over thoughts gets upper hand!

When even ruins crumble in vast polluted land.

High time to heal the world.

Sea roses drown in their once clear green lake Ducks and swans bend their heads as if at a wake.

Bloody and lifeless corpses lay on a deserted street While the so-called dignitaries over cocktails meet.

High time to heal the world.

We try to hold on to what’s dear to us Make an effort to disregard the scary fuss.

But our conscience needs to be reminded Of the danger when we act as if we are blinded.

High time to heal the world.

Wrapped in snowy down I cuddle under the warmth of your quilt That covered you Wrapped you in dreams

The rapture of a cuddled cover Brought you many nights of slumber’s bliss I snuggle into its warm and dreamy folds Sleep fills my mind and Images fade in and out of awareness . . .

Comforter Comes to me as a cape for the weary Its warmth a mantle of love Safe among the threads where you touched.

District Honors Victims Students at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s John F. Kennedy High School recently organized a memorial to commemorate the lives of the 17 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who lost their lives in the tragedy in Parkland, Florida. JFK High School students held a 17-minute ceremony outside the front doors of their school where they said the Pledge of Allegiance and memorialized each individual lost in the tragic incident.

The Hicksville Middle School Drama Club presented its remarkable rendition of “Seussical Jr.” to students, staff members, families and members of the Hicksville community on March 15th, 16th and 17th.

The musical, starring a variety of central characters in iconic children’s author Dr. Seuss’ books, featured

numbers including “Notice Me, Horton,” “Oh, the Things You Can Think!” and “Here on Who.” The talented cast was headlined by Kayla Mathew as Amayzing Mayzie, Rachel Flay as Gertrude McFuzz, Kristian Romano as The Cat in the Hat and Pratiksha Malayil as Sour Kangaroo, among many other standouts.

held 17 orange balloons, which were released at the completion of the memorial service.

In addition, the District used the events of the day as an opportunity to conduct a 10-minute lockdown drill in each of the 9 periods in the middle and high schools to educate students on the proper procedures to take in case a lockdown should occur. This was an effort to go beyond the state mandate of 4 lockdown drills per school year and help the students to understand where to go in

case a lockdown happens at any point in the school day.

The day of civic engagement lessons conducted throughout the District was an effort to help students understand the science behind social change and give them an opportunity to use their voices in a larger social context. The District’s initiative to give students a voice is part of their ongoing efforts to have children understand their power to invoke social change.

The musical highlighted the extraordinary theatrical skills and commitment of the drama club, in addition to the dedication of several faculty members and students who worked behind the scenes.

LIHSA Scholarship Gala Renowned tenor Vincent Ricciardi has performed on countless stages throughout the world in the years since he graduated from high school, but he always thinks of the Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) stage as home. He, along with dozens of other alumni, will come back home on April 20th for the LIHSA Scholarship Gala. The gala is a memorable evening of spectacular performances, all to raise money for the LIHSA scholarship fund.

“I will always support the Long Island High School for the Arts. It’s necessary for kids like me that need a place to perform and learn a craft that they love,” said Mr. Ricciardi, a concert artist who specializes in Opera, Jazz, Broadway and Opera/pop crossover favorites. The LIHSA Class of 2000 Theatre alumnus grew up in Deer Park.

The annual event is an

opportunity for alumni and faculty to perform together and to share a variety of talents that they honed while attending LIHSA, including dancing, singing and acting. Visual artists will have their work on display and for sale in the school’s art gallery.

The gala features an eclectic range of performances, from opera and guitar solos to sketch comedy and modern dance. Alumni are always excited to participate and give back to a school that helped shape who they are today. “Attending the Long Island High School for the Arts entirely changed my life,” said Heather Conn, a professional dancer and student in the LIHSA Class of 2020. “This school and its people did so much for me, how could I not give whatever I can back to it?

I carry LIHSA with me every day of my life, in who I am and what I do. LIHSA shaped me, not only as an

artist, but also as a human being.”

Heather performs with the Orsano Dance Project, directed by LIHSA alumnus Phil Orsano and Nickerson-Rossi Dance.

She has performed in such notable venues as Jacob’s Pillow and Radio City Music Hall.

“Just being invited to share the stage with all of these talented artists who also went here is incredible,” said Sarah Sixt, an actor, writer, comedian and 2008 LIHSA Theatre alumna who grew up in Locust Valley and is now living in New York City. “This place has such a warm and inviting energy. Why not give back to something that gave so much to me?”

This past February, Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) inducted its second class of exceptional students into the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA).

The twelve students from throughout Long Island were recognized not only for their skill on the dance floor but also for their academic achievements and leadership.

The inductees were Caroline Alter (Wantagh UFSD), Gina Griffo (Levittown UFSD), Kate Altman (Seaford UFSD), Ayla Haik (Northport-East Northport UFSD), Natalie Baquet (Levittown UFSD), Carly Manza (Lynbrook UFSD), Alexandria Buckvar

(Massapequa UFSD), Jada Miley (Amityville UFSD), Faith Centa (Massapequa UFSD), Hailey Stanco (Levittown UFSD), Frankie England (Massapequa UFSD), and Adianna Valentine (Massapequa UFSD).

These are high-achieving students with evolving artistry and a genuine interest in so many areas of the arts,” said Dance Department Director and NHSDA Chapter Sponsor Dina Denis-Paolucci.

“I’m really proud of all of them. It’s a huge accomplishment.”

In addition to Ms. DenisPaolucci, a number of other VIPs were on hand to offer words of congratulations to the inductees, including

Nassau BOCES Board President Eric Schultz, LIHSA NHSDA President Arielle Waters, and Past President Jared Stern. The evening featured a candle lighting ceremony and, of course, a number of impressive performances

by LIHSA dance students.

Candidates for induction into the NHSDA must demonstrate outstanding artistic merit, exceptional leadership skills and notable academic achievement. The Society works to promote a desire for life-long learning in the field of dance, to encourage an understanding of and appreciation for dance as an art form, and to develop knowledgeable audiences for the future.

PCLI Leads to Changes in Policy A year after the Press Club of Long Island published an unprecedented report card grading nearly 200 municipalities and agencies on their responsiveness to public records requests, some that scored poorly made improvements in how they handle Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests while others did not.

The cumulative grade was a C in the project done

by Timothy Bolger, editor in chief of the Long Island Press and PCLI’s Freedom

of Information Committee chair.

“Suffolk County has reviewed software and is developing a FOIL request/ response process for all county departments to access and use,” said a spokesman for the county, which scored a C+. “In addition, the county implemented a search query on the home page of its website in an effort to allow for easier navigation of the site and easier access to FOIL forms.”

In Nassau, which got

a D+, Norma Gonsalvez, then presiding officer of the county legislature, led a review of the report card’s findings. The panel made one change as a result: “We added the link to the FOIL request to the sidebar on the county website to make it easier to find/ access,” legislative aide Matthew Fernando said.

Besides changes in policy, there has also been changes in personnel since last year. Republican Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, whose

adminstration got an F in the report and is currently on trial for corruption charges, was replaced by Democrat Laura Curran, who promised to do better than her predecessor.

“The Curran administration promises transparency, including the FOIL process,” said Curran’s spokesman. “The system is already being reviewed and improved by the county attorney’s office.”

On the village level, Roslyn Harbor passed

new FOIL rules shortly after it got an F. Island Park publicly vowed to improve its complete lack of responsiveness. Some, such as Baxter Estates, which did not have a FOIL policy last year, produced one in a sampling this winter. LI’s 97 villages got a cumulative grade of C in the report.

But not all heeded the findings. The Village of Cedarhurst, which also got an F, now prominently placed FOIL rules on its website indicating that

requests must be made in person at village hall - the type of prohibitive policies that make it more difficult for the public to access records and decreases government transparency.

The report and the update were released for Sunshine Week, an annual national initiative highlighting the importance of access to public records.

Caring For Granite Countertops (NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling.

They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars.

Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment:

• Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas.

• Be careful what

you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be

used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars.

• Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each

JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.)

There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or

citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops.

• Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches.

Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom.

Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

Laundry room renovation ideas T o former apartment dwellers or those who have never enjoyed the benefit of a dedicated laundry area, even the smallest washer and dryer space can seem like a luxury.

The benefits of dedicated laundry rooms abound. However, disorganized laundry rooms can nullify such benefits. Depending on the needs and preferences of each homeowner, laundry room designs can be customized for convenience.

Employ vertical space

Floor space may be at a premium in a laundry room, especially for those who want to devote as much space as possible to bulk-size washer and dryer units. Therefore, utilizing wall space is key. Use shelving, wire racks, hooks and other organizational tools to store items on the wall. Shelves can be tucked into just about any space, and there are different options that can fit into corners or shallow areas. These are a great option for keeping detergent or other laundry essentials nearby.

Clean designs reduce clutter

Simple, clean designs can be an asset in a laundry room. If budget and space permits, cabinetry built into the design will help keep items out of sight in the laundry room. Cabinets hung directly above the appliances can store detergent, bleach and fabric softener. Use cabinets elsewhere in the room as catch-alls for cleaning supplies used in various other rooms around the house.

Incorporate a sink in the design

Some older laundry room setups have a slop sink to drain discharged water from the washing machine. However, newer homes may have plumbing installed directly through the floor or walls. It is still a worthwhile idea to have a sink in the laundry room for rinsing out stains, handwashing items and having a go-to sink for messier cleanup.

Utilize a tension rod

A rod installed between two cabinets or across a narrow width of space in the

laundry room is a handy spot to hang shirts or pants to prevent wrinkling.

Repurposing a ladder and suspending it from the ceiling also creates a spot to hang clothes.

Consider laundry room flooring

An organized and efficient laundry room setup can make washing and drying clothes easier.

It’s important to select flooring materials that will not be damaged by contact with moisture or spills. Vinyl, tile and some composite products often make good laundry room floor materials. Resilient flooring that mimics the look of hardwood may add a classy touch, and give the appearance of wood without having to worry about damage. To alleviate fatigue

while spending long moments in the laundry room, invest in a memory foam mat that can be placed underfoot.

Keep lighting in mind

Lighting can be important in the laundry room. Rely on task lighting, under-cabinet strip lighting and overhead lights as needed for efficiency.

Preparing garden beds for spring and beyond

G

ardening enthusiasts may have been thinking about their landscape plans throughout the winter, eager to once again get their hands dirty with soil. Whether a home gardener is making preparations for edible crops or beautiful flowers, he or she must take time to make the soil amenable to planting. To establish hearty, durable plants, gardeners can focus on three main areas: addressing soil composition, cultivating and adding nutrients.

the soil. Mother Earth News suggests working on garden soil when the soil is damp but never wet; otherwise, garden soil can become messy and clumpy. Use a digging fork or shovel to lightly turn the soil when it’s mostly dry. Gentle tillings also can open up the soil to incorporate the nutritional amendments and relieve compaction that likely occurred from freezing temps and snow pressure. Tilling also helps with drainage and oxygen delivery to roots. The DIY Network suggests turning over soil at a depth of 12 inches to work the soil — about the length of a shovel spade. However, the resource Earth Easy says that existing garden beds have a complex soil ecosystem and simply top-dressing with compost or manure can be enough preparation for planting. Gardeners can experiment with the methods that work best for their gardens.

Soil Composition

Many gardeners prefer growing a variety of plants in their gardens. Such an approach requires taking inventory of the type of soil in one’s garden and making the necessary modifications so that the types of vegetables, herbs, shrubs or flowers that will be planted can grow in strongly. In fact, the most important step to developing good roots is preparing the soil.

Take a sample of the soil and examine it to see what is present. If the soil is too full of clay, too sandy, too dense or too loose, that can lead to problems where plants cannot grow in strong. Work with a garden center to add the right soil amendments to make a rich soil. This may include organic compost or manure, which will also add nutrients to the soil.

Cultivating the soil can involve different steps. Removal of weeds, errant rocks, roots and other items will help prepare

Nutrition

Testing the pH and the levels of certain nutrients in the soil, namely nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, will give gardeners an idea of other soil additions that may be needed. Soils with a pH below 6.2 often can benefit from the addition of lime several weeks before planting. Soil tests will determine just how much fertilizer to add to the soil. Complete fertilizers will have equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

Individual fertilizers can amend the soil with only these nutritional elements that are needed.

Top-dressing empty beds with a layer of mulch or compost can prevent weed growth and preserve moisture until it is time to plant. If existing shrubs or plants are in garden beds, use more care so as not to disturb roots or dig too deeply.

Preparing garden beds takes some effort initially, but can be well worth the work when plants flourish throughout the growing season.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino today announced that registration for the 2018 Summer Recreation Program is now open for children ages 4-12.

The program runs from Monday, July 2nd through Friday, August 10th.

Children may also sign up for field trips to locations such as Adventureland, Splish Splash, a Day at the Movies and more (off-site activities depend on age and parental permission and require an additional fee).

The program is separated into the following age categories: early childhood (Ages 4, 5 and 6); juniors (7-8); intermediate (9-10); and seniors (11-12). While the Summer Recreation Program offers a full day of activities for your

All children must be picked up for the lunch hour as there is no supervision during that time. The Summer Recreation Program operates in the following six parks: Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa; Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park in Farmingdale; PlainviewOld Bethpage Community Park in Plainview; Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay; SyossetWoodbury Community Park in Woodbury; and Harry Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing.

The program cost is $400 per child and $200 for each additional child in the same immediate family.

The last day to register for the Summer Recreation Program is June 15th, 2018, based on availability.

Those interested in registering may contact

Prevent Isolation As You Age! (NAPSI)—Did you know that an estimated one in five adults over age 50 are affected by isolation? This is a problem, as research has shown that prolonged isolation can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day— and these negative health consequences of chronic isolation may be especially harmful for older adults.

Here are some suggestions to combat the problem of social isolation and loneliness: • Nurture and strengthen existing relationships; invite people over for coffee or call them to suggest a trip to a museum or to

see a movie.

• Schedule a time each day to call or visit someone.

• Meet your neighbors.

• Don’t let being a nondriver stop you from staying active. Find out about transportation options.

• Use social media to stay in touch or write letters.

• Stay physically active.

• Take a class.

• Revisit an old hobby.

• Volunteer.

• Visit a senior or community center to see what’s going on.

• Check out faithbased organizations’ groups and events.

To connect to aging

services and programs in your area: Contact the Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, a part of the Administration for Community Living.

This nationwide service is a trusted gateway to connect older adults and their caregivers with local resources for older adults. Call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 to speak with a knowledgeable Information Specialist or visit the website www.eldercare.gov to find local resources on a broad range of topics and access help today.

Five Ways To Protect Your Vision (NAPSI)—Did you know that women are at greater risk for blindness and vision problems? The National Eye Institute, part of NIH, reminds women, especially those over age 40, to make their eye health a priority by taking five simple steps to protect their sight.

Get a dilated eye exam.

Getting a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to know if your eyes are healthy and you are seeing your best. Talk to your eye care professional about how often you should have one.

Live a healthy lifestyle.

Eating healthy foods, maintaining a healthy weight, managing chronic

341108N0328

The College For Career Education

conditions, and not smoking can lower your risk of eye disease.

Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history.

It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease, since many are hereditary.

Use protective eyewear.

Prevent eye injuries when doing chores around the house, playing sports, or working on the job. Wear safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, or eye guards that are made of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your needs.

Wear sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses outside protects your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or age-related macular degeneration, which is a progressive eye disease leading to blindness. When purchasing sunglasses, look for those that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. These steps can help keep your eyes healthy and prevent vision loss and blindness from eye disease.

For more information, visit www.nei.nih.gov/ hvm.

How To Protect Your Data (NAPSI)—Chances are your data, whether personal or at work, has been compromised. Even before half the adults in America had their information stolen from a major credit-reporting agency, there were about 178 million personal records exposed in 2015 and it’s estimated that number rose to more than 200 million in 2016.

The technology you use every day—computers at work or home, printers and your mobile phone— needs to be protected. By 2020 there are projected to be 20.8 billion Internetconnected things—and they’ll all need protection.

Fortunately, however, you can go a long way toward protecting your data with seven simple steps.

1. Back up all critical data saved on your personal machines.

2. Keep dynamic and different passwords across applications; consider using a password manager.

3. Be very diligent whenever clicking on a link or attachment in any e-mail—don’t get phished.

4. Be very cautious about entering data into a pop-up window.

5. Review your privacy settings on all social media tools.

6. Shred your bills, medical records and the like before discarding them. You can also have them shredded at a trusted retailer such as Staples.

7. Get your electronic devices professionally reviewed and updated.

Simply drop off your PC at Staples or bring it in and while you wait the tech-savvy associates there will review the device for security issues or update your PC/Desktop Network Security plan,

make any necessary recommendations and offer 10 percent off the service recommendations you decide to get.

The security assessment service includes: • Either an in-store or remote connection service • A review of MSConfig and a list of current startup apps • A check to ensure that the following are installed, enabled and up to date: Windows or personal firewall, anti-virus software, all operating and applications security patches • A scan for adware, spyware and malware • Based on a network and/or device security assessment, Staples will provide you with the necessary steps to improve and protect the machine.

Older People Improve Life For Others And Themselves (NAPSI)—Many older Americans have discovered that sharing their accumulated wisdom with others who need help can be a big win all around.

Here’s a look at two ways you can stretch your mind and show your heart: Experience Corps AARP Foundation Experience Corps unites teachers, schools and older adults to improve children’s academic and social outcomes. This benefits the children, the schools and the volunteers.

The program has been proven to help children who aren’t reading at grade level become better readers by the end of third grade. Last school year, 76 percent of students who were below grade level at the beginning of the year raised their reading and literacy performance by one or more proficiency levels with the help of Experience Corps volunteers.

The goal is to improve children’s literacy, strengthen communities,

develop cultures of inspiration in schools and support hardworking teachers.

It’s already changed the lives of thousands of children in schools across America.

Volunteers should be age 50 or older; have at least a high school diploma or GED; pass a criminal background check; pass a basic literacy screening; attend 25 hours of annual training; and have five to 15 hours a week to offer during the school year.

Tax-Aide

AARP Foundation also runs Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention to those 50 and older. It offers free tax-filing help to those who need it most. You do not need to be a member of AARP or even a retiree to use this free service.

IRS tax-certified volunteer preparers in libraries, malls, banks, community centers and senior centers answer questions and prepare tax returns. In addition

to earned and retirement income reporting, they can also help with investment income (interest, dividends, and capital gains for Schedule D), Schedule C for individuals with small businesses that have less than $25,000 in annual expenses, and various health care, education, child and earned income credits.

Compassionate and friendly individuals can volunteer for the upcoming tax season.

Volunteers receive training

and continued support in a welcoming environment.

Learn More For facts about Tax-Aide, including requirements for volunteers, go to www. aarp.org/money/taxes/ info-2006/volunteer_ aarp_tax_aide.html. For factson Experience Corps, visit www.aarpfoundation. org/experiencecorps. For information about AARP Foundation, visit www. aarpfoundation.org.
