Tead Poisoning In 2004, almost one'in every 100 children tested for lead in Nassau County was diagnosed with elevated levels of lead in his or her blood. One child had such severe lead poisoning that the child needed to be hospitalized for special therapy. Treatment in very severe cases consists of medication to remove the lead from the body. In all cases, treatment includes dietary changes, hygienic measures, identification of sources of lead poisoning and abatement of the environment. Even elevated levels of lead as low as 10 micrograms per deciliter can harm a child's developing nervous system and may result in behavior problems, learning disorders, poor school performance, lower I. Q., hearing loss, anemia, kidney damage, or growth retardation. Breathing in lead dust or swallowing lead- coated particles causes lead poisoning. Small amounts of lead are invisible and odorless. Most lead- poisoned children have no symptoms. Those with severe lead poisoning may have stomach cramps and may develop convulsions. The damage done by lead is not reversible. However, lead poisoning is totally preventable. It can be avoided by identifying sources of lead in the environment and repairing, renovating or removing them. Homes built before 1978 were painted with lead- containing paint. Even if homes have been repainted, repeated rubbing of one painted surface against another ( such as opening and closing windows and doors) could expose old, lead-based paint in homes. Worn, cracked, or peeling lead- based paint may cause lead poisoning, especially in children. Children have also been poisoned from lead that is found in certain cosmetics, including serma, kohl, and red dye bindi spots and in some imported medicines and herbal remedies, including litargirio. By law, children must be tested for lead exposure at ages one and two, and assessed annually until age six by their health care providers for exposure to lead. Children entering day care or nursery school must show proof of having a blood lead test. The blood test can be obtained from the child's health care provider. In 2004, 40,473 children in Nassau County were tested for lead poisoning. The Nassau County Department of Health provides case management services to parents of all children with elevated blood levels and inspects their homes to identify the cause of lead poisoning. It also provides educational, preventive and nutritional counseling about childhood lead poisoning, inspection and assessment of homes for lead hazards and takes enforcement action, when necessary, to ensure hazards are abated. For information and literature on lead testing and on reducing lead hazards from soil, dust, water, food and other sources, telephone Nassau County Department of Health at 571- 2310. Legislator Mangano Approves Revised Property Tax Exemptions For Volunteer Fire Fighters Nassau County Legislator Edward P. Mangano ( R- Bethpage) sponsored legislation which revised the 2002 property tax exemption law for volunteer fire fighters and emergency medical technicians. Members of local fire departments and ambulance corps who have served for a minimum of five years will receive a 10% exemption on their Nassau County property tax. In addition, members who have 20 years of service will receive this exemption for the remainder of his or her life. " The brave members of our fire departments and ambulance corps deserve to see real savings on their Nassau County property tax bill," said Legislator Mangano. Due to a cap, the prior legislation only allowed for marginal savings due to a formula involving the local equalization rate. As a result of the cap, fire fighters who took advantage of the exemption only realized about $ 2.33 in savings. " The intent of the legislation was there, we just needed to work out the details so our County's volunteer fire fighters and emergency medical technicians could start seeing some real savings," said Legislator Mangano. The new legislation, which is permitted by an amendment to state law, removes the cap. Therefore, department members with a minimum five years service can expect to save approximately $ 167.11 on their County property tax bill. Currently, there are 3020 volunteer fire fighters and ambulance technicians who applied for the existing exemption, these residents will not have to reapply to receive the new level of exemption. " The volunteer fire fighters and ambulance technicians in Nassau County provide a vital service to us all. We should make every effort to aid these lifesavers whenever possible. I urge all residents interested in becoming a volunteer to contact their local fire departments," added Legislator Mangano.

Someone says, " Good morning, Bill." He waves back with his cane. You hear a loud belly laugh. If you're lucky enough, you may even be given a shiny state quarter. Who is this man? He is a giving father to his son and daughter. He is a loving and loyal husband to the love of his life, " Joan Girl." He is a tease of a " Poppy" to his 5 happy grandchildren. He was a courageous soldier in World War II, being honored with the Bronze Star for his bravery at Normandy in 1944. He is a good friend to his old buddies that he writes to in weekly letters. He is even a bighearted and thoughtful father- in- law. Is this every man? I hope that it could be, but that is not the real world. I wish all the children, grandchildren, and people of the world could be so lucky as to be acquainted with or to love a man of this caliber -- then they would be inspired to become kinder, happier, more generous, or more caring - and our world would have better husbands, fathers, grandfathers, and friends. Eighty years is a fairly long life according to today's standards of life expectancy for someone born on March 11, 1925. The normal life span of someone born in the 1920' s is about 80 years. A baby born today can expect to live to a maximum life span of almost 120 years! So, William Muldobn, ( also known as Bill, Poppy, Dad, Chubbs) you have fulfilled your scientific life expectancy of 80 years this month! Perhaps that is true because of your diligent use of your cholesterol and blood pressure medications. Alternatively, could it be due to the fact that you are loved and needed by many? As people age, they often lose sight of their purpose in life, becoming depressed and lonely. So many wonderful older people stop wanting to get dressed each day, call a friend, go out for a walk, or do a crossword puzzle. Everyone in this world needs a purpose, a vision, a goal, regardless of age. It does not have to be as large as writing a book or as significant as curing cancer, but it needs to be there. Every idea, action, or amazing act that we do starts with a vision. Bill has a purpose ... a reason to wake up each day and to carry on in his life. He is a fundamental part of his family, his neighborhood, his friendships. Thanks, William Muldoon, for living these 80 wonderful years and sharing many of them with your family. Thanks, William, for beina a responsible son to your mother, Maggie, and to your sisters, Betty, and Margaret, for helping them when your Dad died when you were only 11 years old. Thanks, William, for sending them your army paycheck so that they could get by in New York. Thanks, Billy, for going off to war at only 18 years old, for defending our flag in the 9th Infantry Division, and for risking your life in battle, so that we would all continue to live in a " free" country. Thanks, Mr. Muldoon, for being a cub- scout leader in Bethpage for your son, and then for another 10 years. Thanks, Mr. Muldoon, for the shiny coin that was a 1959 nickel, the year I was born. How did you remember that from the last time we spoke when I was the waitress at your table? Thanks Poppy, for helping to raise your grandchildren Christian, Mike, Terri, Will, and Christopher. Thanks for the toys, crayons, and McDonald's money we used first for our Happy Meals and then later to feed ourselves after a long day at high school. Thanks, Poppy, for the " gasoline bucks" and movie gift certificates you give us so we could have fun with our friends. Thanks for never missing one of our school concerts, plays and talent shows. Thanks, Uncle Bill, for the shimmering Connecticut quarters my brother and I got in the mail last week to add to our collections. Thanks, Billy, for helping our veterans place flags on the cemetery plots of our brothers and sisters each Memorial Day weekend. Thanks, Dad, for cutting and watering the lawn, putting out our garbage, and for painting our homes, both inside and outside. You never complained that it was too tiring, or that your arms hurt from painting. You just sang along with every stroke, every gallon, never missing a spot on the ceiling or the wall. Thanks, Dad, for always remembering our anniversaries, with cards and money so we could splurge on a romantic dinner, when there was no money in the budget for special things like that. Thanks, Bill, for adoring Joan, in sickness and in health, for being a devoted and loyal husband, never placing any female ( celebrity or otherwise) above her. So, if you see this man eating in the diner or at Bethpage Chili's, buying stamps at the Bethpage Post Office, standing in line at the bank, or walking down his street on Elizabeth Drive, slow down and beep your horn, smile and say, " Hi, Bill" or wave your hand. He'll smile-back... and if you're lucky, he may throw you a shiny state Quarter.

A record crowd of runners variously estimated at between 250 and 300 runners crowded into the Runner's Edge in Farmingdale on Sunday morning, February 20 for the annual Greater Long Island Running Club/ Runner's Edge Winter Fun Run. ( Hey, we ran out of the complimentary gloves that go to each participant - Runner's Edge proprietor Bob Cook ordered 300 pairs! and wiped out the large pile of bagels, doughnuts, etc. provided at the finish much like General Sherman's army marching through Georgia, with nary a crumb left over!) The crowd followed their Nassau County Police Department escort up Main Street, around to the left up the hill and onto Round Swamp Road, as the runners sorted themselves out into 3 mile, 6 mile and 9 mile runners. Back to the Runner's Edge after enjoying the brisk Winter morning, for the granddaddy of all sales, and the Door Prizes of a couple of very snazzy gym bags - won by Larry Finger and Doreen McDougall. Thanks go to Fun Run Chair Sam Zinn, to Bob, Gary, Nancy, Danielle, Al, Kristin, and the rest of the crew at The Runner's Edge, and to volunteer refreshment purveyors Susan Kaye, Sylvia Zinn & Joe Sturgess. The Greater Long Island Running Club and the rest of the Long Island running community are thrilled to be able to support our friend Bob Cook through this event. Nice day and a nice job by all concerned! Another War Story by Bud Rosch, past commander I was visiting Fall River, Massachusetts and they have a museum of a number of WW II ships, mainly the ship named for the State, the USS MASSACHUSETTS BATTLESHIP. Of course at the time my wife and I wanted to go aboard and see this great United States Battle ship. They were working on it at the time and only the top deck was available. The public was not allowed to go down to any other deck. There was plenty to see on the top deck. In fact, one of the turret's had a shell hit it during the war. It was cut open like a person opening a can of beans even though the steel around it was about 16" inches thick. I understood that all were killed in that incident of the shell hitting that turret ( that is all the men in that turret). The officer in charge was very informative as to what the ship was made of such as the deck. The deck was made of wood. We were impressed with all the stories he offered and then came this one. One of the men wrote in and said he served on the USS Massachusetts on a deck below. He went on to tell us the letter received, said the Sailor had cancer and it was terminal and he would like to visit the ship and see his old position on the ship. The story went on that a date was made for the visit. When the old sailor appeared he was piped on to the ship. Though the area that he was working was not ready yet he was taken down to see his old position. When he arrived topside they had a ceremony for him and a piece of the deck was cut out and presented to him. Unfortunately I do not know the sailor's name and more details, as my wife and I were just told about this on our visit. What started as a resting place for the USS Massachusetts just the one war ship now has a number of old war ships including a submarine. I have not been up there in a long time but I believe there must be a number of these old ships added. I think that if you would enjoy seeing these " hero ships" to our past, it will be very worthwhile. The traveling time is only about three hours. More particulars could be had from the Massachusetts visitors travel department. Helpful Girl Talk Dished Out at JFK Middle School As the film " Mean Girls" pointedly made clear, bullying among girls may be less physical but is no less devastating. That's something JFK Middle School in Bethpage understands, which is why the school brought in Child Abuse Prevention Services ( CAPS), Long Island's leading organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect, to begin a dialogue with seventh- grade girls about the problem of relational aggression. A professionally trained volunteer from CAPS met with 7th grade girls at the school the week of February 14th to present " What's Up? Girl Talk," a program designed to prevent relational aggression - a form of bullying girls often employ - by teaching them how to acknowledge and validate feelings, how to communicate directly and how to problem- solve when instances of relational aggression occur. " JFK Middle School deserves credit for recognizing that it's not jusl boys who engage in bullying," said Alane Fagin, executive director of CAPS. " The use of cutting remarks or organized social ostracism can be powerful bullying weapons for girls in any school or neighborhood, and that's a problem that needs to be addressed." Thanks in part to a legislative grant from Senator Kemp Hannon and the financial support of concerned members of the community, CAPS provides student- targeted programs such as " What's Up? Girl Talk" to schools free- of- charge. CAPS relies on a dedicated corps of volunteers to present its programs, but Fagin says the growing demand for CAPS' services - the organization estimates it will be asked to present programs in nearly 1,500 classrooms across Long Island during the current academic year - means CAPS needs more volunteers to join in it in working together to keep every child safe from harm. Founded in 1982, the Roslyn-based Child Abuse Prevention Services is Long Island's comprehensive resource center for the prevention of child abuse, bullying and peer harassment. It is a non- profit organization underwritten by private donations, grants and legislative appropriations. Information about programs, educational materials and volunteer opportunities can be obtained by visiting the Child Abuse Prevention Services Web site at www. kidsafe-caps. org, or by calling ( 516) 621- 0552.

Their topic: " Going halfway" ( half marathon and half ironman triathlon) and having fun with cross training, dealing with how athletes can prepare for half marathons and Half Ironman triathlons on a limited time schedule ( with work, family etc.), and can utilize cross training as a way to boost their running performance and fun. The meeting will be held at the Plainview- Old Bethpage Public Library, 999 Old Country Road in Plainview, starting promptly at 8: 00 PM on the evening of the 15th. The general public is most cordially invited to attend.

He is a former National level U. S. swimmer, who has been a triathlete since 1982, with hundreds of successful finishes including the Hawaii Ironman and nine other Ironman Triathlons, and nine successful finishes in the Xterra World Championship.

An accomplished Triathlon Director as well as athlete and coach, Steve is the creator of the three race Long Island Triathlon Series, which includes one of the oldest and most prestigious multisport events in the world - the Mighty Hamptons Triathlon. Steve's infectious enthusiasm for the bport and his ability to bring out the benefit of his expertise and experience in terms that everyone can easily understand and appreciate, make him a great speaker and one that everyone is certain to enjoy! Josephine Piccinic is an accomplished athlete and Team Total Training Coach, who will be discussing cross training. On Thanksgiving eve 1994, Josephine was hit by a car while on a training run, suffering a broken pelvis, a broken femur and a shattered tibia/ fibula. She spent a week in intensive care, endured several operations and the insertion Of a plate and two titanium rods, and couldn't even walk for 6 months after the accident. Rehabilitating with Steve Tarpinian and Aaron Mattes, Josephine made a goal of qualifying for the U. S. Olympic Trials Marathon in 2000, even though she had never previously run a race longer than a half marathon. Although her ' 2: 55 time was a bit short of the 2: 48 qualifying time, she was satisfied with her marathon accomplishments and turned her focus to swimming, and recently was awarded 2004 Team Total Training Swimmer of the Year honors. Josephine is currently planning to race in the 2005 New York City Marathon. You can be sure that her part of the March 15 program will be extremely inspirational.

VFW Post Has " Ladies Night" Designed many years ago in order to give the VFW wives a day off in the kitchen. All the members brought their wives to enjoy an evening together and let the Veterans cook for them. The wives of course say " hooray" to that! The menu this time was cooked by professionals and they are a delicious Chinese meal. A great time was had by all. Sadly, being the old soldiers are getting older with each day, it is immediately noticed that a number of members are not present. But theshow went on! The menu was Chinese and the food was enjoyed by all attendees. In the last five months Butehorn Post received about 8 New members. As old as the members are you will see them out there with a color guard for St. Patrick's Day. Another one of their programs coming up on March 7th is the annual VOICE OF DEMOCRACY finals at the host school, John H. West.

Body weights are a great tool for enhancing your workout or daily strength building. Rather than being grabbed and lifted like dumbbells or barbells, these adjustable weights are strapped on and worn, adding resistance to every movement, even if you're just walking up the stairs.
DICK'S sells wrist and ankle weights, weights for the upper arms and thighs, weighted vests and hand weights with straps. Ankle weights are available from 2 to 20 pounds, wrist weights from 3 to 10 pounds and weighted vests from 10 to 40 pounds. DICK'S offers brands such as Fitness Gear, All Pro Exercise and GoFit.
Many of the body weights use individual iron bars or pouches of iron sand in Velcro pockets. You can easily add or remove these bars or pouches and customize the weight during each of your workouts.
Purchase a weight that targets your fitness routine. DICK'S waterproof weights include weighted belts that provide more flexibility than a vest and add a significant challenge to your swimming workout. Any of the weights are great for running or walking, while the line of weighted gloves, calf weights, and a few of the weighted vests are great for the athlete of any sport.
Many of the ankle weights carried by DICK'S are engineered so they do not put stress on your Achilles tendon. Like all body weights, ankle weights often take some time to get used to. A way to minimize this adjustment period is to choose ankle weights that have an ergonomic design that maximizes comfort.
A good safety precaution built into many of the weighted vests at DICK'S are protective padding for sensitive areas such as the chest, shoulders and spine. If you are planning to exercise outdoors at night, consider body weights with reflective strips.
Unlike traditional gloves, weighted gloves ideally have a special wrist wrap for an added level of support, as well as open palms to let your hands breathe. An alternative to weighted gloves are hand weights made from neoprene to ensure comfort.
