BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB WORKERS W/CANCER 1947 -1993 $150,000-$400,000

If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit.

Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members. No appeal fees. No fine print.

“Think about what you want to be, and what you have to do to get there.

And think about how to react when things don’t go necessarily as planned, and how to make the most of the adversity we all must face at some point in our lives.”

In his remarks, Supervisor Lupinacci described the path that took him to his current post, leading a town of 210,00 residents: his decision to major in government in college and to pursue law and business graduate degrees; internships that reinforced his career choice; election to the South Huntington school board and the state Assembly before deciding to run for Huntington

The Marty Lyon’s Foundation – Long Island Chapter will host its 5th annual Marty Gras Dinner Dance on Saturday, February 17th from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Captain Bill’s Restaurant; 122 Ocean Ave. in Bay Shore. Proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s mission to grant wishes to children diagnosed with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.

“The annual Chapter dinner dance at Captain Bill’s is an event that provides an opportunity for our generous supporters to come together to enjoy the festive New Orleans experience here on Long island.

The evening includes cocktails, buffet dinner and dessert with a hint of Nawlins flavor and lively music by TradeWinds.

The Marty Gras fund raiser is a reminder of the important mission of the Marty Lyons Foundation started over 35 years ago.

When we have a successful

fundraising event like this, we are able to continue to make plans to grant more boys and girls with serious medical conditions their dream wishes. Regardless of the wish, it is always very gratifying to see the face of a child light up when they realize his or her special wish has been granted by the Foundation,” said Marty Lyons, Chairman of Marty Lyons Foundation.

Marty Lyons, a former NFL star for the New York Jets and a member of the legendary New York Sack Exchange, experienced three life-changing events that led him to establish a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to granting the wishes of seriously ill children. In 1982, with encouragement from family and friends, the Marty Lyons Foundation became a reality. It is unique among wishgranting organizations in that it provides a first wish and will consider a

In Step

second wish for children who fall out of remission and are facing more battles with their illnesses. The Foundation has granted the special wishes of over 7,400 children.

Tickets to the Marty Gras Dinner Dance are $130 per person; “Special Table for 12” is available.

For tickets, contact Eileen Mayer at 631.834.7035 or email jem71192@aol. com. For information about The Marty Lyons Foundation, visit: www. martylyonsfoundation.org

Peacocks & Pretty Things Beauty. They say it is in the eye of the beholder; but truly, it exists all around us, if we take the time to notice. My love of photography has certainly enhanced my ability to appreciate the aesthetics of my surroundings, from interesting cloud formations while waiting for sunsets, to pretty roadside blossoms that would otherwise be characterized as weeds to the undiscerning eye, to the novelty of light and shadow as it plays out upon a surface. Such is the abstract nature of visual “art.”

And then there are the moments when it appears before you in its most natural, stunningly striking form.

Case in point: several weeks ago, my friend and I enjoyed a late lunch at the famed Milleridge Inn, having both decided that it was the perfect locale after having not dined there in quite some time.

To our surprise, the holiday lights were still on full display, with remnants of the Christmas season in every corner of the restaurant and shops. Having just finished dismantling my own decorations the previous week, I was at once

nostalgic and slightly weary of them.

As we exited the bakery and made our way to the official Christmas shop located on the property, I spotted what appeared to be a large bird sitting on the railing of the ice cream parlor.

“Is that real?” I whispered to my friend, “Or just a decoration?”

We stared intently, only to be instantly startled. “It moved! Oh my gosh, it moved!”

As we tentatively approached, we realized it was a GIANT peacock. And with that, no less than half a dozen others peered out from behind various corners and crevices, along with several chickens and peahens. Unfazed by the humans before them, they moseyed to and fro, pausing briefly to study us. Thoroughly infatuated, we wandered after them, attempting to snap pictures and even a few short videos of these majestic feathered creatures.

As I knelt down and tentatively reached my hand out toward one especially beautiful specimen, my friend grabbed my phone to

capture the sight. The bird cocked his head slightly, examining me carefully, then strode purposefully toward me. Unsure if he was planning to sit on my lap or - more likely - to take a sizable bite out of me, I froze, backing away slightly. “Did you get the picture?” I nervously called to my friend. “Yes, I think I took about 27 of them,” she replied giggling.

Alright then, no sense pushing my luck. I quickly stood up as the peacock stared at me, seemingly perplexed.

“Sorry pretty bird, thanks for the photo op.” And with that, he fluttered his massive wings and took off, soaring to a nearby tree branch. By that point, a small crowd had gathered around us, amazed that this one bird had taken such an apparent liking to me. A little boy exclaimed to his parents, “Wow, they fly???”

Peering up at the bird, now perched overhead, my friend and I looked at each other in utter amazement.

“That,” I said, “was clearly the highlight of the day.”

Beauty. It’s everywhere.

January Charity of the Month:

LIGHTHOUSE MISSION!

tells us that, when going to help others, Jesus traveled to them instead of having them to come to Him. Lighthouse Mission also has a Youth Outreach that operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Every Tuesday, they open their facility to high school students and offer them food, entertainment and time to socialize in a Christian setting. Every Wednesday, they do the same for middle school students; and on the first and third Saturday of each month, they offer this for students K-5. All of these events are free of charge and open to everyone.

If you are interested in becoming involved with this organization, there are plenty of ways to do so. They gladly accept clothing and food donations and currently are in need of winter coats. As far as volunteering, they accept walk-on volunteers at all of their Food Outreach events.

If you are interested in coming with a group to a Food Outreach event or are interested in volunteering at a Youth Outreach Event, please call their office at 631.758.7584 first for more information!

“Providing Hope Beyond The Food” . . . this is a phrase often used at Lighthouse Mission, a mobile food pantry on Long Island.

Pastor Jim Ryan is the President of this inspiring ministry that reaches 2,000 people per week with the mission to share the Gospel of Jesus and feed the poor. Lighthouse Mission is a registered non-profit that operates 100% on donations, receiving no government help.

They operate a very impressive Food Outreach weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (visit their website at www.

LighthouseMission.com for a full Food Outreach Schedule). Instead of operating this outreach from a single location, Lighthouse Mission chose to go mobile and travel to different locations where those in need could line up to receive plenty of nutritional food, gently used clothing and hear the word of God from one of the pastors working the event. Pastor Jim Ryan mentioned to me that they were inspired to operate this outreach in a mobile manner because the Gospel

World Heritage International Student Exchange Program is seeking representatives to work with volunteer host families and international exchange students in your community.

Signs Of Unsafe Driving In Older Adults (NAPSI)—The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that there are more than 38 million drivers age 65 and older.

Age is not the only factor that can impact driving abilities, but it is an important one. There is evidence that most people experience age-related declines in physical and

mental abilities. These changes—which can affect everything from vision to how quickly you can make decisions—influence how well you can drive.

They can also be difficult to address for yourself or with older people you know, since driving often represents freedom, independence and control.

But transitioning from

driving doesn’t mean you have to lose these things.

Your health care providers or Area Agency on Aging (www.eldercare.gov) can point you toward a range of transportation alternatives in the community. The first step toward finding those tools is recognizing when you might need them.

Signs that an Older Adult’s Driving Skills Need

Testing So how do you know whether you or an older adult you know is developing difficulties as a driver? These issues can be warning signs that suggest that an older driver may need to be tested or evaluated: • Getting lost in familiar areas • Ignoring traffic signs

and signals • Becoming easily agitated or angered • Falling asleep or being unable to concentrate when driving • Reacting too slowly to dangerous situations • Forgetting or ignoring driving basics (like yielding to the right of way) • Having trouble judging distances.

Kind Words Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people goodnatured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is. Blaise Pascal

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the District held a Unity Walk to promote civil rights and unity.

As a sign of peace and solidarity, more than 200 participants gathered at Coram Elementary School on Saturday, January 13th, and walked to the Coram Fire Department.

Attendees met with community resource

groups and browsed through student art and essay presentations.

Guest speaker and human rights activist Oliver Mashaka spoke about his journey to seek political asylum in the United States after leaving his home in Kenya in 2007.

Mr. Mashaka is a Stony Brook University graduate who hopes to build an orphanage in his native

country.

In preparation for the Unity Walk, the Longwood Junior High School hosted the Eighth Annual Diversity Day on Friday, January 12th. Presenters spoke with students about various cultures, obstacles they’ve encountered, and the importance of fostering respect for diversity.

UNITY WALK HELD - Unity Walk participants gather at Coram Elementary School.

Baking Up Fun their cakes in the oven for the proper amount of time, the students utilized their creative abilities to decorate cakes with dashes of frosting and candy. In doing such, examples of the finished products resembled a bonfire, the logo of the popular superhero “The

Flash,” and even a cake emblazoned with the words “Connetquot T-Birds” on top.

According to Mrs. Parks, faculty and staff members were able to sample the cakes after they were completed, and chose the winner in the spirit of fun and friendly competition.

High school students in the Sachem Central School District are receiving realworld business experience as part of the Virtual Enterprise class. In its third year at Sachem, the Virtual Enterprise class teaches upperclassmen valuable business skills as they navigate each aspect of a complete business plan.

Guided by teacher Keith McCaffery, Sachem High School East has two student-run business firms and High School North has one firm, led

by Business Chairperson Thomas Sullivan. Students at both schools have the opportunity to earn college credits as they continue through the program.

At the beginning of the full-year class, each student submits a résumé and interviews for their desired position within the firm. The virtual business mirrors a traditional organizational environment and is broken up into different departments, including human resources, marketing, sales, finance and information technology, which are all overseen by a management

team.

Students collaborate to develop a business name, logo, website and various promotional materials such as brochures, business cards, product catalogs and a commercial. High School North’s virtual business, Mobuilt, is a technology company focused on selling cutting-edge devices whose products include televisions, cellphone cases and drones. The firm’s flagship product is a pair of shoes that generates energy with each step that is used to charge your cellphone.

2-Pure International, one of the Sachem High School East-based firms, is a culturally driven meal delivery service.

The business provides traditional meals from countless cultures around the world, such as Latin American empanadas and bratwurst from Germany.

The business offers a subscription service ranging from one to 12 months aimed to expand their customers’ cultural palate.

In addition, High School East students created a second firm called U-Create. This company is

a monthly box subscription service that provides products to customers at a lower price by bundling items. Customers can choose from four categories including beauty, pets, fitness and technology.

The monthly subscriptions are broken up into three options - bronze, silver and platinum - which represent the number of items per box.

“Virtual Enterprise allows us to take our business where we want it to go,” said senior and Mobuilt CEO Jeanine Cerqueira. “Whether it is technology, clothing or both, we can use our ideas to expand the market.”

As part of the Virtual Enterprise class, the student businesses competed in a business plan competition and trade show at Farmingdale State College. The student firm competed against 35 other student-run firms for a chance to attend the Virtual Enterprises International Business Plan Competition taking place in New York City April 16th, at the Microsoft Technology Center.

Zombie 5K Walk Colorfully dressed zombies joined parents, students, teachers and staff members at Connetquot High School on January 20th for the fifth annual 5K Zombie Walk, in benefit of the Connetquot Foundation for the Advancement of Children.

More than 100 attendees were ready to walk the halls of Connetquot High school 10 times to complete the 5k

goal, as they did their best to evade the zombies and keep three flags attached to their belts along the way. As they walked the halls, the goal was to avoid zombies who would try to remove the participants’ flags one at a time. When all three flags were “surrendered,” the participants would be declared a zombie for 2018.

The CFAC provides financial grants to teachers

Tech Challenge Qualifier

and district schools to purchase equipment and supplies, and supports special assemblies and training that directly benefit the students of the Connetquot Central School District.

The foundation has awarded well over $140,000 in support of school district efforts to enhance the educational opportunities for Connetquot’s children.

Fifteen Longwood High School students recently competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge Qualifier.

Held at Center Moriches High School, the team ranked sixth overall.

Eleventh-grade student Harrison Heinrichs was also named a semifinalist for the Dean’s List Award. The award will be announced at the FIRST

Championship held at Smithtown High School on Sunday, February 11th, 2018.

Coached by Jennifer Stehle and Anthony Grausso, the team competed against 24 groups and became a semifinalist.

The newly created FIRST Tech Challenge team, including students,

coaches, and community volunteer mentors, met for more than four months to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles.

The students designed, fabricated, programmed, and tested a competitive robot through the District’s My Brother’s Keeper Family and Community Engagement Grant Award.

In its ninth year, the program teaches students dance skills that improve

nonverbal communication, problem-solving and teamwork.

Student partners practice in unison as they first review the steps by counting aloud together, then add music to each dance. During the 10-week program designed

by Dancing Classrooms Long Island, teaching artist Jessica Heins and

educational liaison Alison Armbruster guide students through seven dances, including the merengue, foxtrot, rumba, waltz, tango, swing and polka.

At the culmination of the program, the students put on a performance for their parents showcasing their new dancing skills.

A Step Ahead

Eagle Scout Honored

On January 11th, Councilman Michael Loguercio attended the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Cody Smith from Troop 560 at the Coram Fire Headquarters. During the event, Councilman Loguercio congratulated Cody for his achievement and presented him with a proclamation from the

Town Board.

Councilman Loguercio said, “Cody is a very active member of the community and we are proud to have such a wonderful person leading by example for his peers in Brookhaven Town.

I congratulate Cody and his family and wish him much success in his future endeavors.”

Since the award was presented in 1912, no more than four percent of all Scouts have attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been A STEP AHEAD - Lynwood Elementary fifth-grade students prepared to count out earned by more than two dance steps as part of the ballroom dance program.

Empathy was on the mind of students throughout Wenonah Elementary School in the Sachem Central School District recently as students participated in a two-week kindness challenge in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As part of the character education curriculum at Wenonah, students took part in the Kindness and Justice Challenge that included multiple activities aimed to foster an inclusive

learning environment.

During Mismatched Shoe Day, students wore two different shoes to school to generate conversation on seeing things from the perspective of someone else.

Other special themed activities that occurred during the week included Backwards Day when students wore a shirt backwards to represent that once something hurtful is said it can’t be taken back. During an activity

named Mix It Up, students were assigned to sit at a different table during their lunch period and make conversation with a student they didn’t know.

The activity was a valuable opportunity for students to meet new people and make new friends.

Faculty and staff also took part in the challenge by participating in the Mix It Up activity. Teachers sat with colleagues they don’t normally sit with at a recent staff breakfast.

Tips For A 100 Percent Hassle-Free Move (NAPSI)—Moving can be a hassle, stressful and emotional.

If you’re considering a move, know you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 40 million Americans moved in 2016. That’s a lot of moving.

“Every year, people take on the frustrating experience of moving,” said Adam Doron, CEO of Unpakt, an online platform designed to eliminate stress from the moving experience. “What many don’t realize is that moving doesn’t have to be difficult.

There are resources available to ensure an easy, hassle-free move.”

According to Doron, the main challenge when moving is guaranteeing the final price of a move, as moving prices can increase on move day with no notice. Another challenge?

Verifying that a mover is licensed and insured. He suggests using a reliable online service to compare guaranteed, transparent prices from prescreened moving companies, as well as customer reviews. That allows people to manage and control their move from start to finish. It’s also beneficial to have a third party handling payments and issues.

“Working with an online platform like Unpakt

means you can avoid the hassle of entrusting an unknown mover with getting your belongings to your new home,” said Doron. “Unpakt enables consumers to compare verified, reputable movers and enjoy a stress-free move.

“For your next move, get online. Visit Unpakt and instantly compare guaranteed prices from prescreened moving companies. It’s easy to book your move online, just like you would a hotel or flight. We want to become the ‘go to’ online comparison site for everyone’s move.”

Sharks Take Silver The Suffolk County Community College Cheer Team placed second in the Open All Girl Division at the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) Nationals held on January 13th at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Disney World.

Suffolk faced a tough division of 12 teams. Six

went on to the finals. Ten of the 12 other colleges Suffolk competed against were four-year institutions.

In past three years, Suffolk has brought home a bronze and two silver medals. The difference between first and second place at last year’s Nationals was 11.2, this year it was .8.

“I’m extremely proud

of the accomplishments made by this year’s team.

They pushed through every obstacle with determination and perseverance. The planning and the rebuilding has already begun for nationals 2019 and the Sharks will be ready to return full force,” said Head Coach Gina Caputo.”

The Eldercare Locator, a public service of the Administration on Aging, an agency of the U.S. Administration for Community Living is a nationwide service that connects older adults and their caregivers with

information on aging services.

Callers to the Eldercare Locator receive information about federal, state and local services such as transportation, inhome supportive services, and health and wellness programs.

Information Specialists are there to help guide callers to the correct resources.

You can call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 8:00 pm ET to speak with a knowledgeable Information Specialist, or you can visit the website, www.eldercare.gov to find local resources on a broad range of topics.

(NAPSI)—If you ever find yourself lying awake at night, you’re not alone— even if no one else is in the room. That’s because, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-quarter of the U.S. population reports occasionally not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10 percent experience chronic insomnia.

Why To Sleep Good sleep, says the CDC, can decrease the risk of sickness and weight gain. It helps you think more clearly, decreases

(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

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.
