It was in 2003 that Mr. Valvo realized that something was wrong.

Of Energy and Evolution “The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” ~ Aristotle They say that what you put out into the universe in the form of energy, you receive back tenfold. In some manner, at some point in time, life cycles back around to pay us the karma we are supposedly owed. Most often, this is associated with the negative end of the spectrum; rarely are the positive applications of this theory every truly recognized and appreciated.

I have often looked to those who seem the most consistently content and have wondered what it is that makes them able to sustain such a healthy sense of optimism and an inner peace that radiates outwardly into the universe. Simply put, they are

genuinely happy. They savor those aspects of life which many of us often take for granted. They make it a point to appreciate each and every moment, and to pay it forward in the manner in which they interact with others.

To me, these are the types of individuals we should all strive to surround ourselves with, each and every day. Any opportunity to associate with a positive, breath of fresh air-type persona should be welcomed with open arms; there is no such thing as too much sunshine. In the end, it makes the inevitable storm clouds which manifest along the way that much more tolerable.

Of course, this concept is not so simple as mere happiness by association. True bliss comes from within, as

who we are and who we desire to become slowly transition toward being one and the same. They say people don’t change, but I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment.

We each possess a unique capacity to peel back the layers en route to uncovering infinite unknown qualities and characteristics as we continue to evolve over time.

And change we do, each and every day, as our interactions with others, the circumstances we are faced with and our growth as human beings develop. There is no end to this evolution. We are a species built on progress.

Why not begin with our own respective psyches? With a bit a time and effort, perhaps we, too, can one day be worthy of this admiration once only reserved for others.

awareness and funding for research, Mr. Valvo credits journalist Katie Couric, former co-host of NBC-TV’s Today Show, for “pulling me out of my cancer closet” and giving him the courage to speak openly about his diagnosis.

He continues to promote awareness through his work as a board member of the Colon Cancer Alliance and has given generously

of his time to raise money for colorectal research.

Clearly emotional, Mr. Valvo looked out at the hundreds of cheering people in his audience and told them, “The one thing that cancer taught me to do is to celebrate every day.

Life is joyous…we all need to remember this.”

Amid the music and their memories, more than 1,400 cancer survivors, their families and other loved ones gathered Saturday to celebrate the Northwell Health Cancer Institute’s 12th annual Don Monti Cancer Survivors’ Day, held outside the Monter Cancer Center in Lake Success, NY.

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.

pediatrician Anila Thomas, MD, was in her last year of medical school at age 25, when she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in 2011.

Following a two-year treatment regimen of spinal taps, infusions and bone marrow biopsies recommended by Northwell Cancer Institute oncologist Jonathan Kolitz, MD, Dr. Thomas was declared cancerfree in 2014. In what she describes “as nothing short of a miracle,” she finished medical school in 2013, and completed her pediatric residency at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in 2017.

“And, to top it off, “said Dr. Thomas, “and probably best of all - my daughter, Abigail Sarah Thomas, was born on October 25, 2017.

So, take ownership of your survivorship,” she said.

“We need to bring hope and encouragement to everyone who has shared this experience.”

Richard Barakat MD, physician-in-chief and director of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute, who joined the health system in April after many years at Memorial Sloan Kettering in Manhattan, said he was struck by the energy and the passion of survivors, loved ones and staff. “Our overarching goal is to standardize cancer care across Northwell Health – from Westchester, Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island – so no matter where you get treatment, you’ll receive the same level of high-quality care,” he said, noting that a major priority will be on expanding cuttingedge clinical trials for our patients, including the launch of Phase 1 clinical trials through Northwell’s

Conductivity Connect

Balloons of Happiness By: Gene McParland

Chippewa Elementary School fifth-grade students in the Sachem Central School District explored the engineer profession and developed their problem-solving skills as they utilized Makey Makey kits to discover exciting electricity concepts.

The Makey Makey kits supply students with a small circuit board and multiple connectors to use as they explored conductivity. In addition to the kits, students incorporated numerous other conductive materials to complete their circuits.

Students used Play Doh to create electric bongo drums and bananas to assemble a piano. Led by library media specialist Ciara Harte, students experimented with different combinations of connections to find the most effective circuit.

Maybe I should tie a balloon to my wrist, like that small child did across the park.

She looks so happy, dancing around on the lawn, bouncing the balloon with her opposite hand.

Laughing up into the bright blue cloudless sky.

Why can’t I have that kind of joy in my life I ask myself; just be so completely free.

A voice within says “You can.”

History Stands Trial A notorious historical mystery captivated a classroom of fourth-grade students at Lynwood Avenue Elementary School in the Sachem Central School District as they attempted to determine if the Boston Massacre was an act of murder or selfdefense.

Equipped with imitation quill pens and detective notepads, students in Sheryl Amallobieta’s class inspected numerous clues found throughout a simulated crime scene that represented the

events that took place the day of the Boston Massacre. Students rotated between six stations where they reviewed different evidence, including artwork created by a British artist, Paul Revere and an unknown artist.

The students learned to determine the difference between evidence obtained from bias and unbiased sources as they inspected each piece of artwork.

As students continued to gather evidence, each group stopped at several stations where they

listened to firsthand and secondhand accounts from witnesses, examined written clues and saw physical evidence up close. As the investigation concluded, students used the evidence they gathered to make inferences and record a final conclusion on who is at fault for the historic event.

As part of the classroom unit on the Revolutionary War, the activity provided students with an engaging hands-on experience that revisited a pivotal event from that time.

The Connetquot School District congratulates the students enrolled in James Longo’s fifth-grade class at Helen B. Duffield Elementary School for securing the first-place title in Sumdog USA’s National Math Contest, successfully outscoring 1,233 other classes from across the United States.

In addition, two of Mr. Longo’s students,

Jaime Canas and Andrew Kwanza, received scores that placed them in top 10 spots among the 25,360 participating students. Mr. Longo’s class has come in first place for regional contests in the past, but this was their first time entering a national contest.

Sumdog provides a way for young students to practice math skills while playing fun, math-related

games against friends, classmates or students from around the world.

Games are individualized for each child’s ability level, so users can play against opponents who have the same skills.

“I strongly believe that Sumdog is a great way to motivate my students to practice their skills and improve their speed and accuracy,” said Mr. Longo.

Students Celebrate Writing student wrote a letter about one of their favorite books.

In that letter they explained why they enjoyed reading their chosen book and they provided evidence from the text to support their reasoning.

The students were also able to jot down titles and authors of books that interested them based on their classmates’ writing pieces, helping them

create a list of summer reading ideas.

Additionally, the school’s first-grade classes were invited to join in the celebration, read the second graders’ work and create their own book lists. This opportunity gave them a preview of what is to come for them next school year when they participate in the secondgrade writing program.

June’s Charity of the Month:

The Association for Mental Health & Wellness

The Association for Mental Health and Wellness (MHAW) is a non-profit behavioral healthcare organization that serves more than 3,000 people each year among 33 diverse communities throughout Suffolk County at four sites. Two of these sites are based in Ronkonkoma, one is based in Riverhead and the last is based in Yaphank, where its Suffolk County United Veterans project is based.

The organization was formed in 2014 with the merger of three successful organizations in Suffolk County; the Mental Health Association in Suffolk County, Clubhouse of Suffolk and Suffolk County United Veterans. Services include a comprehensive range of personcentered recovery and wellness-driven programming for youth and adults who are affected by psychiatric disabilities, trauma and complex health conditions, providing people, along with our U.S. Veterans, with opportunities to heal and work toward their recovery.

Everyone possesses their own unique worth and individuality, and MHAW does a great job providing treatment and services that focus on goals and aspirations specific to each individual person. If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health issue, don’t hesitate to contact this non-profit at 631.471.7242 or its helpline at 631.226.3900. Additional information is provided on their website at www.MHAW.org.

Along with good mental health, MHAW recognizes the importance of physical health. Classes include an array of indoor and outdoor physical activities, as well as the chemical free garden right near their Ronkonkoma facility. In the garden, people learn how to grow their own food while

connecting to the natural environment.

Vegetables, fruit and herbs are donated to Charlotte’s Table food pantry, open each Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., which serves the broader community.

Anyone interested in volunteering in the garden may contact Victoria Harrison at VHarrison15@gmail.com.

MHAW is very excited about its 6th annual Kick Stands Up event, which will take place on Sunday, July 22nd from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the BMHMC Amphitheater at Bald Hill in Farmingville. Hosted by Founding Sons Law Enforcement/Military Motorcycle Club and Impressive and Aggressive Motor Club, attendees will visit up close with event registrants and their beautiful motorcycles, custom and classic cars. The day includes live entertainment

by Muddy Johnson, while Johnny Numonic spins the tunes and attendees enjoy an array of food options, unique vendors and fabulous raffle prizes. The entry fee for motorcycles and cars is $20; for walk-ins, it is $5; and for children under 12, it is free.

King Visits Connetquot Congressman Peter King recently visited Connetquot High School and talked to the students in attendance from Christine Lennihan’s and William VanNostrand’s social studies classes about how the United States government serves its citizens.

After his insightful speech, the U.S.

Additionally, he told stories about his experiences and travels, and added a few facts about his relationships with notable individuals, including several presidents.

King is both a nationally and internationally recognized senior member of the United States House of Representatives. He is a member of the Homeland Security Committee and Chairman of the SubCommittee and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Bus Driver Training

Ensuring student safety is a top priority, not only in school but also while students travel to and from school.

Suffolk Transportation Service (STS) was among a select group of pupil transportation operators in the U.S. chosen by the Federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to participate in a training program that encourages coordination between school bus operators and other agencies in emergency situations, such as a terrorism incident.

Multiple Suffolk County school districts recently joined with local emergency responders, including Suffolk County Police, Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management, Bay Shore SUMMER JOURNALISM INSTITUTE - From left, are Connetquot High School Fire Department, and New Principal Kenneth Costa, 11th-grade student Emily Palazzotto and Connetquot High York State Bus Contractor’s School English teacher Alan Fertmann.

participate in a unique TSA table top training exercise called EXIS (Exercise Information System). The TSA is an agency of the Federal Department of Homeland Security.

“Our top priority as a school bus operator is student safety. Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc. is pleased to be selected to spearhead this training program in Suffolk County, which helped all participants enhance their coordination with other agencies to keep students safe,” said John Corrado, President of STS, Suffolk County’s largest pupil transportation provider.

Participating school districts were: Port Jefferson, Bay Shore, Longwood, Brentwood, Hauppauge, Three Village, Central Islip, West Islip, Islip, Deer Park, Lindenhurst, Comsewogue, and Eastern Suffolk BOCES. School

districts attendees included security and transportation officials, as well as senior administrators, as either participants or observers.

EXIS is a TSA training model used to foster collaboration and communication among both private and public transportation agencies to prevent, plan, protect and respond to violent acts on busses, railroads, and other methods of surface transportation.

During the recent day-long training event, the agencies practiced a number of simulated emergency response scenarios. These included a potentially dangerous device found on a bus and a bus involved in an explosion.

At the conclusion of training, the TSA experts reviewed the results of the drills with participants to assess their effectiveness.

for her part in helping us spread the word on pool and water safety,” said Legsislator Anker.

Sophia Trapani, a second grader, tied for second place in the county’s “Be Pool Smart” Poster Contest. Each year, the county hosts the “Be Pool Smart” poster contest to raise awareness about the importance of pool safety and to help prevent incidences of drowning.

Students are asked to participate by creating a poster with relevant pool

safety tips. The winning poster is displayed on the front cover of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services’ pool safety brochure.

This year’s first place winner, Anna Humann of Connetquot, will have her winning poster featured on the 2018 Suffolk County Pool Safety and Drowning Prevention brochure of the County Executive, County Legislature, and County Health Department.

Academy students at the Milliken Technical Center recently participated in a collaborative event involving multiple programs to provide realistic, hands-on experience. A post-car accident scene was created so that Medical Assisting students could bandage victims and perform triage, and Law Enforcement could properly manage the multi-person casualty.

Cosmetology students provided special effects makeup so accident victims looked the part, Auto Body students supplied the damaged cars, and Audio Production students videoed the live event. The Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology is the Career

and Technical Education Program of Eastern Suffolk BOCES and has campuses in Oakdale, Bellport, and Riverhead.

The accident scene was staged in a parking lot at the school and involved a two-car collision (Auto Body students simply moved two cars in need of repair outside). Volunteer victims sporting special effects makeup positioned themselves in and on the cars. Some of the victims utilized prosthetic wounds for classmates in the Medical Assisting Program to bandage. One abdominal prosthetic squirted blood and featured exposed plastic intestines. Law Enforcement students who didn’t volunteer as victims worked the accident, taking

statements from witnesses and arresting one of the drivers who attempted to flee. Audio Production students videoed the event with handheld and drone video cameras.

Said Deborah Leedham, Medical Assisting teacher, “Cross collaboration among programs at the Academy makes it possible for students to experience project-based learning in ways they might not elsewhere. The chaos, noise, confusion, and screaming were all part of the triage experience in this lesson, in addition to applying the industry skills they’ve all learned.

It wasn’t an authentic trauma scene, but it was a valuable stepping stone in their educations.”

Additionally, he hosted a question and answer session, in which the students were able to ask questions such as, “Where do all of the bad guys go?” and “How is your job different from a police officer’s?”

After Sheriff Toulon’s informative session, Deputy Sheriff Tracy

by Deputy Sheriff Korte, along with their two K-9’s Phillip and Jet. The officers let the students know that the dogs first and foremost role was to find specific materials and keep them safely off of the streets.

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.

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

Volunteer Training

Breast cancer survivors are encouraged to apply and train to become volunteers with the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program. Training will be held at Adelphi University in Garden City, starting Tuesday, September 11th.

“We have nearly 100 trained volunteers,” says Hillary Rutter, the director of the program. Rutter says that volunteers help the organization in many different ways. “Some speak in the community about their personal experiences, others help by doing fundraising, community outreach, office work, educational presentations, or respond to callers throughout New York State on our hotline,” she says.

Because the hotline volunteers have had breast cancer, it helps them to understand what it is like that an older driver may to receive a breast cancer need to be tested or diagnosis and the needed evaluated: treatment that will follow.

• Getting lost in familiar “When our volunteers 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.

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

answer a hotline call the caller knows that the person they are speaking to has walked in their shoes and understands what they are going through,” says social worker Alida Rubenstein, the coordinator of volunteers.

Ms. Rubenstein saysit is also reassuring for the caller to know that not only has the volunteer survived her diagnosis and treatment, she is now doing so well that she is volunteering to help others.

Volunteers are required to take in-depth training, which includes breast education, development of important skills, such as active listening, community outreach and knowledge of community resources. The volunteers also have continuing education throughout the year.

The next volunteer training is scheduled for three consecutive Tuesdays, September 11th, 18th and 25th.

The training on all three days is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To find out about all volunteering, which includes opportunities for those who have not had breast cancer, contact Ms. Rubenstein at arubenstein@adelphi.edu or 516.877.4315.

The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program is the oldest breast cancer hotline in the country, established by breast cancer survivors at the Adelphi School of Social Work in 1980. To reach the hotline, call 800.877.8077. You are not alone.
