A Better Kind of Cancer Care
“I came to Winthrop because treating pancreatic cancer absolutely requires a collaborative, team approach.”
Dr. John D. Allendorf is head of Winthrop’s Pancreatic Cancer Program and Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery. He joined Winthrop from the largest university hospital in New York City. A renowned pancreatic surgeon and innovator in robotic surgery, Dr. Allendorf and his team are giving new hope to pancreatic cancer patients.
“What’s important is to have a group of specialists that are expert in their respective fields and dedicated to a common problem. Physicians, nurses and other providers who work well together in an institution that encourages teamwork. Here at Winthrop we have six to eight physicians from different specialties all focused on each individual cancer patient. That is uncommon across the country and unique on Long Island. “I really believe that at Winthrop-University Hospital, we’re delivering a better kind of cancer care.”

ST. FRANCIS PREPARATORY SCHOOL
ADVERTORIAL
At St. Francis Prep, we pride ourselves on our strong academic program. Students who come here know they will receive outstanding preparation for college; they know they will be challenged to achieve the best they can. A major component of our academic program is our strong core curriculum. Every student at St. Francis Prep takes a rigorous sequence of college preparatory courses. In addition, students have the opportunity to take advanced and specialty courses in every academic area. These include honors classes, Advanced Placement and college credit courses, and upper-level electives in art, business, computer science, music, and religion. This aspect is the greatest strength of the curriculum at St. Francis Prep: we offer a strong traditional academic core combined with the opportunity to pursue areas of special interest at a sophisticated level. Students and parents can find our full course book at the school web site: www.sfponline.org. As you look through the course book and the other materials on our web site, you will get a sense of the challenging and enriching courses you can look forward to taking as a student at St. Francis Prep. We do not track students at St. Francis Prep. Students may be enrolled in one or several honors classes. From year to year, there is much movement into and out of honors classes. After freshman year, selection for honors classes is based solely on achievement in classes taken here. Such a system rewards your hard work and allows for a great deal of flexibility.
The ideals of a Franciscan education are based on the Four Golden Links: our aim is to help students achieve the best they can in their intellectual, spiritual, physical, and social development. Our curricular and extra-curricular programs are designed to offer you many opportunities to challenge yourself, explore your strengths, and nurture your talents. We field junior varsity and varsity teams in just about every major sport. We also have an extensive intramural program. We sponsor about 100 clubs and activities, ranging from Model U.N. and Speech and Debate Team to language and culture clubs. Our award winning Science Research Program has yielded Intel Semifinalists for thirteen of the last fifteen years. This year two of our students Natalie Correa and Ariana Gopal have been awarded this prestigious honor for their research. We like to say there is something for everyone here. Our goal is for students to graduate from St. Francis Prep as well-rounded individuals ready for college and continued lifelong learning. If you choose to attend St. Francis Prep, you will become part of a rich tradition that extends back over 150 years. That tradition includes, of course, academic excellence. It also includes being part of a caring, active, spiritual community. It means availing yourself of the complexity and diversity of our extensive athletic, intramural, and extra-curricular programs. It means being challenged, supported, nurtured, and guided as you continue to grow and explore your many God-given talents. Look at our web site to find more information. You can call the school at 718-423-8810, ext. 229, for further information.

Notre Dame School
For more than sixty years, Notre Dame School has been educating hearts and forming minds in New Hyde Park. Education must always be more than academics. While academic achievement is a fundamental goal of our school, it is not the only one. We follow the NYS Common Core curriculum and standards, but we also provide our children with memorable life experiences. Education is about the formation of persons, not merely providing them with information. Our moral obligation as Catholic educators is to encourage children to apply knowledge in ways that will make the world a better place. We commit ourselves to developing our studentsí intellectual gifts and fostering their spiritual growth. We promote the importance of putting the needs of others before our own immediate wants. Our faithfilled environment offers us the ability to put all of this together. We begin each morning by praying as a school community. Classes host monthly school liturgies at First Friday masses, as well as other prayer services in which the students are active participants. They can be readers, leaders of song, altar servers, or present the gifts at the altar. Special prayer services include our Thanksgiving service, Advent, Christmas pageant, Stations of the Cross in shadows, the Feast of the Epiphany and Lent. Our students come to us from a diverse range of cultures, beliefs and abilities. Those cultures and beliefs are respected and abilities supported or enriched. Our goal is to provide our students with the skills needed to succeed in a highly literate society, and then, as responsible faith-filled members of that society, to use those skills to create communities that actively promote social justice. Children of other faiths have the opportunity to share their beliefs as well. Our days are filled with many exciting activities and learning events. Learning does not just take place in one classroom. Our children enjoy a variety of ìspecialî classes. We have a full time Art teacher, Technology teacher, Physical Education/Health teacher and Librarian. We also offer Italian, Spanish and Music classes. Our hallways are beautifully decorated with studentsí artwork representing various artists and cultures. Our Physical Education teacher plays a variety of games, teaches important teambuilding skills and stresses good sportsmanship. Our Music teacher provides opportunities for children to freely express themselves through rhythm and movement which are incorporated in school-wide performances. Our stage lighting new sound system will certainly enhance our school productions! If students would like to continue their education and love of music, we offer band lessons through Paul Effman for grades three to eight. Our smallest students have a special playground just for them. Our students in Pre-K through grade 3 also have a special playground. We have an indoor play space for use in inclement weather. Thanks to the generosity of our school families, we are able to broadcast our morning announcements throughout the school! We have our very own closed circuit TV systemóIPTV! Our videoconferencing room has also been very busy! Students in all grades enjoy the experience of interacting with people all over the world. Lessons are enhanced through visits to museums, science labs and zoos. All parents are welcome to join us whenever their childís class has a conference scheduled. Each classroom has two new desktop computers. Our lab has been updated and we have a Mac station with laptops and iPod Touch players. We have 42 iPads available for small group or individual work. All classrooms, kindergarten to eight, are equipped with integrated SmartBoards. Early Childhood classes also have access to a SmartBoard in the video-conferencing room. Our building has wireless connectivity. We have many wonderful events and programs which we would like to share with you. We would love for you to see us ìin action.î Please feel free to call the school to schedule a tour. Caryn Flores Durkin Principal

MANGANO HONORS AMT Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano (fourth from left) officially thanked ambulance medical technician Joseph Biundo, who successfully evacuated the Dunkin’ Donuts in Carle Place before anyone was injured. Biundo, who has worked as an AMT for 15 years, had purchased a carbon monoxide detector with his own funds to wear on duty. Upon entering the store on Glen Cove Road his device started to beep and flash, indicating the carbon monoxide levels had hit a potentially deadly level. Biundo evacuated the store and called dispatch, who summoned the Carle Place Fire Department. Firefighters ventilated the store and determined the high levels of carbon monoxide were due to a faulty oven pipe. Pictured from left: Chief of Patrol Frank Kirby, Dunkin Donuts manager Shaan Javed, Operation Manager of Dunkin Brands Lou Becktold, Mangano, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Biundo, acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter, Dunkin Donuts Owner Bret Nadler, AMT Commanding Officer Peter Timinelli and Ajay Lag.
