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.

When Rocky Point Middle School Principal Dr. Scott O’Brien asked the hundreds of people gathered in the auditorium to raise a hand if they knew someone affected by cancer, more than half of them did. The serious moment of awareness was a fitting start to the school’s annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation head-shaving event.

“This annual assembly serves as a way for our school community to come together in solidarity with children living with cancer,” Principal Dr. Scott O’Brien said.

Money was pledged by donors to support the shavees’ efforts, all of which will be donated to help support people with cancer. With abundant support from both school and community, the fundraising goal was surpassed and $11,000 was raised.

Eighth-grader Quentin Palifka was named the top individual fundraiser, having collected $6,018.

Quentin said he has been raising money for a number of years, to honor a neighbor’s child who died several years ago. “It was a nice way to honor him,” he said of a child he never got to meet.

Brave Act of Baldness

Port Jefferson School District’s Earl L. Vandermeulen High School student Reid Biondo recently attended the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair, a competition for the most advanced high school projects.

His research, “Convolutional Neural Network Classifier for Antarctic Seals,” was

based upon a longstanding association with Dr. Heather Lynch, an associate professor of ecology and evolution at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences.

Biondo conducted research in the Lynch Lab for Quantitative Ecology during his freshman and sophomore years of high school. He wrote code to

take geotagged images from the internet and analyze them to gain a better understanding of specific Antarctic seal distribution.

Biondo, a junior, had the unique opportunity to be the only student from the school to attend the eminent event and present and explain his work to experts in their subject areas from local universities, scientific institutions, professionals and peers from other high schools. He was accompanied by science teacher Michel Krivosta.

“The LISEF competition was a great opportunity to be around other students with similar interests in research,” Biondo said. “I look forward to continuing my research efforts at Stony Brook University this summer.”

Encouraging Kindness Thoughtfulness and understanding were at the forefront of the recent Port Jefferson Middle School Random Acts of Kindness initiative. Along with teacher Monica Consalvo, students decorated the school bulletin boards to display the message, “Be SOMEBODY who makes EVERYBODY feel like a SOMEBODY.” There were also quotations about

being kind and festive student-designed heart posters.

One day was designated Smile Day, when student volunteers handed out “smile stickers” to each student as they entered school. The event was to promote the idea that “today is going to be a great day – SMILE.” Students extended their compassion into the

community by collecting toiletries that were distributed to the Welcome Friends of Greater Port Jefferson, a community organization that provides meals for people in need.

“Although small, these endeavors helped to show students that through the power of one, we can make a difference in the lives of ENCOURAGING KINDNESS - From left, Port Jefferson Middle School seventhothers,” Consalvo said. graders Daniel Cleary, Kyle Donarummo and Ryan Whiffen with middle school teacher Monica Consalvo.

My Spring Awakening I have never seen the play which bears my title, nor am I especially familiar with its 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.

Upon doing a bit of research, it seems this variance is due to a combination of factors; namely, 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.

as the “first” day of spring anxiously keeping tabs on the collection of snow piling 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. That, we sorts of significant seasonal can only rely on ourselves for. transitions. True, they may be Although the arrival of mere formalities. {As I sit here on the date formerly known Spring sure doesn’t hurt.

Ready to Win and Heal By: Alexandra H. Rodrigues

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.

At this point in time, in the world of today The righteous must unite, not go their own way.

We need to decisively form an iron resistance, A border that defies evil entrance to our existence.

High time to heal the world.

Comforter By: Joan Amato

Wrapped in snowy down I cuddle under the warmth of your quilt That covered you Wrapped you in dreams Images of snowy mountain peaks Beam in vivid sunlight Roiling seas curl and dance in the shadow of the moon Gulls squawk aloud circling Darting into the fray of the shoreline Where sun shines and breezes kiss the softness of your cheek 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.

Rave Reviews

The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Drama Club’s production of “Me and My Girl” was a resounding success, based on the remarkable talents of all involved.

Based on the popular musical set in the late

1930s, the production engaged many students who took part in all aspects of its final stage performance – actors, pit orchestra, stage construction crew, makeup crew and those running the front of the house.

The months of planning and rehearsing under the leadership of director Tony Butera helped to create another audience favorite for the Port Jefferson school community.

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.

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.

We Can Create A Vacation Paradise In Your Own Backyard!

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.

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.

Cultivation

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.

Three Village Central School District’s Nassakeag Elementary School’s student council used their creativity and compassion to create 20 blankets for the Stony Brook Hospital for the Children’s Center this winter.

During several council meetings, members worked on making the blankets from fleece. They cut and knotted the ends to create fringe and a few

members sewed the edge.

Many worked in small groups and created more than one blanket per group.

The completed blankets were delivered to the Child Life administrators in Stony Brook Hospital’s main lobby this March.

Students attending the drop off learned how the blankets would go to children who were ill and in need of a little extra

comfort.

“It made the members feel proud that their one small act of kindness could bring a smile and comfort to someone, possibly their age, who was undergoing medical treatment,” said teacher Judy Larsen. “Our student council is looking into what we can possibly make for the unit next year.”

Celebrating Math Rocky Point School District’s Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School fourth-grade students in Debbie Vieira and Lisa Celentano’s and Kristie Jackson’s classes celebrated the mathematic number PI on March 14th – which

represents the start of the 3.14 mathematical constant.

In honor of the day, the teachers put together math and reading/writing workshop lessons for the students. As part of the day, the students worked with

BAND ON THE MARCH - Rocky Point High School marching band students had the chance to showcase their musical talents when they took part in this year’s Rocky Point St. Patrick’s Day Parade. More than 200 students in grades 8-12 took part in the parade and were led by Drum Majors Paige Fishon, Michael Gohn and Molly Searight.

parts, functions and role of digestion in the body.

For this lesson, which was a culmination of the unit, each student was assigned an organ or chemical involved in the digestive process. Students organized themselves in the order of which their job occurs. When it was their turn, they had to perform a task that simulates what happens at each stage.

Whether students were the “teeth” who mashed up a food product into smaller pieces, the “stomach” who along with “hydrochloric acid” blended the food together or the “small intestines” which recovered essential nutrients, every child enjoyed a memorable and at times messy learning experience.

Studying the Culinary World Ward Melville High School Gourmet Foods classes recently learned about the collegiate culinary world when chef Satoko Matthews, community liaison of Suffolk County Community College, came in to speak with the students.

During the workshop,

Chef Matthews explained the opportunities that Suffolk County Community College can offer to students that are interested in attending culinary school. These included associates degree in culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, and hospitality management. Additionally, the students learned about

the steps they can take after receiving an associates degree, including entering the workforce or continue to study their craft and earn a bachelor’s degree.

To close out the visit, Chef Matthews demonstrated the method for making Gyoza using wrappers and a pork filling.

Interpreting Artwork Through studying the work of several Abstract Expressionist artists such as Franz Kline, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Cy Twombly, second-graders in Meghan Hallock’s art classes at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School have discovered how to select a feeling or emotion and achieve that mood using color, line and shape in their own works.

“I think it’s so important to teach young artists how to analyze and interpret art,” Hallock said.

“Students are learning how

art can convey meaning and not just be a pretty picture on a wall.”

As part of the state learning standards for the arts, analyzing and interpreting artwork by engaging in the process of art criticism is a valuable tool for students to learn, allowing them to gain insight into the works’ meaning.

Hallock provided each student a template to use for the critiquing process which asked them to describe the painting using the art elements, think about what the artwork was

about and what feelings they experienced, ask the artist questions and give a compliment. Students worked with a partner and critiqued each other’s paintings. When they finished, they shared what they wrote and answered each other’s questions.

“They were able to pick up on certain emotions through this process and even surprise the artist with their inquiries,” Hallock said. “They had a lot to say about their peers’ paintings as well as their own. They’re all so proud of their work and so am I.”

Chinese New Year Concludes

The students in James Buchrieser’s special education class at Brookhaven Learning Center staged an in-school parade to commemorate the conclusion of the 15day celebration of the Chinese New Year.

Students and teachers constructed a variety of paper lanterns and accessories that INTERPRETING ARTWORK - Edna Louise Spear Elementary School secondincorporated bells, along graders critiqued one another’s work in Meghan Hallock’s art class. Photo courtesy of: with a 10-foot dragon Port Jefferson School District

costume with an oversized head and body that comfortably fit six people.

Students walked throughout the entire school in that costume during the parade as classmates joined the march in a cacophony of beating drums, crashing cymbals, and ringing bells.

Students and onlookers carrying paper lanterns shouted, “Gung hay fat choy,” which means,

“Happy New Year, in Chinese.

“Learning about another culture is always fun,” said Buchrieser. “And, what’s more exciting than a parade of our own?”

Brookhaven Learning Center is an Eastern Suffolk BOCES school that provides special education services to students with special needs.

SPAMALOT - Rocky Point High School student-actors recently took to the stage to perform the comical musical “Spamalot.” Adopted from the 1975 film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” the parody musical featured a hilarious cast of characters that entertained audiences during its multi-night run. In addition to the cast on stage, the songs were performed by a talented student-pit orchestra and many students worked behind the scenes to make the show a picture perfect.
