Things to Know Before Selecting a Summer Camp Whether parents have already selected a summer day camp for their children, or are thinking about camp for the future, the Nassau County Department of Health gives the following advice to parents who are sending their children to camp: ' Parents should visit a summer camp BEFORE and DURING the camp season. * Talk to other parents of campers who have previously attended camp. * Ask if the camp is in compliance with County regulations. In addition, parents should get answers to the following questions. These are the same questions the Health Department asks before inspecting a campsite and issuing a permit to operate. * What are the qualification of the camp director and counselors? * How are campers supervised, including discipline policies? * What is the counselor or camp ration? * ls there medical coverage? * When are parents notified if children become ill or injured? * l a doctor or nurse in residence or on call for campers at all times? * Does the camp keep medical records for campers as required by law? * What are camp procedures for dealing with complaints of abuse? * Are camp facilities and activities safe? * Are campers always supervised while in the water? ' Are campers tested for swimming abilities before participating in swimming activities? * What are the safety guidelines for swimming, boating or canoeing? * How are activities in craft shops and sports activities supervised? * Do mature counselors supervise out- of- camp trips? * Are there periodic fire drills for campers and staff? * Are the camp's location and facilities protected against natural hazards such as cliffs, sandpits, or roads and highways? * Are good health practices observed in the camp kitchens and dining areas? The Health Department also inspects the camps at least twice a season to assure that all physical facilities are properly operated and maintained, and that adequate supervision exists to provide a healthy and safe environment in accordance with the New York State Sanitary Code. It also investigates reports of serious incidents of illness, injury and all allegations of abuse or maltreatment and, when requested, provides parents or guardians of prospective campers an opportunity to review inspection reports and required plans. Each year the Nassau County Department of Health oversees the issuance of permits for approximately 150 camps, which will host in excess of 32,000 children, a Summer Day Camp needs a permit to operate if it is occupied by children under 16 years of age between June 1 and September 15 and is primarily for the purpose of outdoor organized group activities. For information about summer day camps, call 571- 3680 weekdays from 9: 00a. m.- 4: 45p. m. Bethpage Post Office Automated Postal Center Makes Mailing Easier Customers visiting the Bethpage Post Office, 339 Hicksville Road can now experience the Postal Service's version of the ATM while delivering quick, easy, and convenient access to postal services. " APCs - Automated Postal Centers - provide'easy access to postal products and services just as ATMs provide easy access to banking services," said Mike Silvestri, Bethpage Postmaster. " To customers, one is> a self- service bank, while the other is a self- service Post Office. Unlike many ATMs, APCs don't add transaction fees." The Bethpage Post Office, lobby is open from Monday to Friday: 5 am to 5: 30 pm, Saturday: 5 am to 4: 30 pm. The APC expands customer access to postal services beyond traditional retail hours. " Beyond expanding customer access, the APC enables our customers to conduct business with us at their convenience." Using credit and debit cards, the APC enables customers to: • Buy the same self- adhesive stamps that are provided through ATMs. • Weigh, calculate and purchase postage in any amount for items weighing up to 70 lbs. • Send items via Express Mail, Priority Mail, First- Class Mail, and Parcel Post services. • Look up ZIP Codes and obtain Postal Service mailing information. • Obtain Express Mail, Certified Mail, and Return Receipts. • Purchase Delivery Confirmation service. • Obtain a receipt. • Insure items up to $ 200. The APC is just 4 feet high by 3 feet wide. It is located in the post office next to a convenient parcel slot that accepts packages up to 12 inches high, 14 inches deep and 20 inches wide. The APCs will help free retail associates to assist customers with face- to- face transactions such as mailing packages to international locations, using Registered Mail service, and purchasing postal money orders. Passport applications will continue to be accepted in person, Silvestri said the decision to first place APCs in Post Office lobbies follows the strategy of the banking industry. " Interestingly, many banking customers, intimidated by the new ATM technology, still gravitated to teller lines. Banks eased fears by placing staff in lobbies to assist customers with initial transactions. We're following the same scenario by having Postal Service employees assist our customers." In the past year approximately 2,500 APCs have been installed in Post Offices across the nation. Healing Wounds. Healing Spirits.

Mid- Island Y JCC Hosts " Shabbat Across America/ Canada" On Friday, March 4, the Mid- Island Y Jewish Community Center in Plainview will join with approximately 700 synagogues across the continent in opening its doors to practicing and non-practicing Jews, so they may experience and rejoice in a traditional Shabbat service and festive meal. The Mid- Island Y JCC is inviting Jewish singles of all ages to experience an interactive Friday night beginners service and a joyous Shabbat dinner beginning at 7 pm. "\ A/ hiie families are more likely to attc id this event at their local synagogue, we wanted to create a memorable and rewarding experience specifically for Jewish singles so that they feel more comfortable and be more likely to participate," said Hillary Lagnado, LCSW, who is coordinating the program for the first time at the Mid- Island Y JCC. Conceived and organized by the National Jewish Outreach Program ( NJOP), " Shabbat Across America/ Canada" represents a united effort by the entire Jewish community to renew interest in the fourth of the Ten Commandments - observing a weekly day of rest ( Shabbat in Hebrew). Designed to teach a generation of unaffiliated Jews about the beauty and significance of the Jewish Sabbath, " Shabbat Across America/ Canada" is the first nationally orchestrated program which appeals to members of all major Jewish denominations. It is also the first and only program aimed at uniting Jews across the United States and Canada through one single event. The National Jewish Outreach Program was established in 1987 by Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald and has become one of the world's largest and most successful Jewish outreach organizations. Through programs such as " Shabbat Across America/ Canada" and " Read Hebrew America/ Canada," NJOP has successfully reached more than 730,000 North American Jews, and engaged them in Jewish life. The cost, which includes dinner and service, is $ 18 per person. Pre-registration is required by March 2. Want more details? Call the JCC's Singles Department at 516- 822- 3535, ext. 331 or ext. 355.

For the most part, they have been a big success. Couple of vignettes: In Baghdad, a suicide bomber detonated outside a children's hospital near a polling site. No one was hurt, but the voters walking by spat on his corpse. Also in Baghdad, an ambulance drove towards a polling site. We had special stickers made and distributed to identify ' real' emergency vehicles in order to foil enemy efforts to use stolen ambulances and police cars for car bombs. A crowd formed around the ambulance and they threatened to tear the driver/ bomber to shreds until US Forces arrived and defused both the bomb and the situation. There were reports of Iraqis arriving from hospitals on crutches in some areas to cast their ballots. The Iraqi Security Forces, Police, and Army stood their ground despite hundreds of local, mostly ineffective attacks. In some places their Army was cheered. In some places the Iraqis were seen giving US forces the ' finger,' but in this case it refers to the ink on the finger of everyone who voted in the election. Overall, a great day except for the British C- 130 going down.

George's Tip of the Week Having 18 inches of snow dumped on us, I know it is hard to think about golf. Before you make your late winter and spring trips to the golf range here are a couple tips to make your first journeys productive. During the winter the single most fundamental I work on is my grip. The grip is so important, the grip holds the golf club. A bad grip can cause 1) inconsistent backswing 2) inconsistent positions at the top of your swing 3) inconsistent impact. To insure my grip is good I let my left hand hang down at my side and let it stay naturally, holding a golf club. From that position I just tighten the left hand, the right hand just covers the left thumb. Using this technique will lessen all unnecessary forearm rotation at address and improve your ball striking. Remember the key to good golf is good grip. You can practice this drill anywhere office, home, and hitting golf balls. Any questions contact me at 631- 249- 4503 Fairways and greens, George D.

Brush Your Animal's Teeth February is National Pet Dental Health Month and Bide- A- Wee wants to remind pet owners of the importance of good dental care for their companion animals. Periodontal disease is the number one diagnosed problem in dogs and cats over age three and can lead to tooth decay, bad breath, bleeding gums and tooth loss. The bacteria that cause periodontal disease can even enter the bloodstream and damage the heart, liver, kidney and lungs. It can, however, be prevented. A dental exam should be part of your pet's annual checkup. If necessary, your veterinarian may recommend a dental cleaning, which is performed under anesthesia. But in order to maintain good dental health for your cat or dog, you have to establish a home dental care regimen. " You should brush your cat or dog's teeth every day," says Dr. Lynn Lawrence, chief of staff of Bide- A- Wee's veterinary clinics. " There are many pet dental products available, and with a little patience brushing your pet's teeth can become as routine as brushing its fur." A brushing program should be introduced to pets gradually, with short and positive sessions. Avoid over- restraining your pet, and praise and reassure it throughout the process. To start, dip a finger into beef bouillon for dogs or tuna water for cats, then rub the soaked finger gently over the pet's mouth and teeth. Gradually, put gauze over the finger and gently scrub the teeth in a circular motion. Finally, introduce a soft toothbrush with toothpaste designed especially for pets. Special pet toothbrushes are available from your veterinarian or pet supply store. Don't use human toothpaste, which could upset the animal's stomach. Your dog or cat can't tell you if it has a toothache, but early warning signs of oral disease include bad breath, a change in eating habits, pawing at the face or mouth and even depression. If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, make an appointment at a Bide- a- Wee veterinary clinic or with your local veterinarian. Bide- A- Wee's veterinary clinics, open to the public on an appointment basis, are located at 410 East 38th Street in Manhattan ( 212- 532- 5884), 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh ( 51.6- 785- 4687) and 118 Old Country Road in Westhampton ( 631- 325- 0280). In its 101 years, Bide- A- Wee has found homes for over 1,000,000 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. In addition to its three shelters and full-service veterinary clinics in Manhattan, Wantagh and Westhampton, Bide- A- Wee offers training assistance for adopters; humane education programs for thousands of children each year; pet therapy visits to nursing homes, hospitals and hospices; the Golden Years Retirement Home for older dogs and cats; two Pet Memorial Parks and bereavement counseling. Bide- A- Wee never euthanizes an animal unless it is incurably ill.

The Bethpage High School welcomed back Suffolk County Police Officer Paul Failla for discussions with social studies classes. Officer Failla first came to the school two years ago, following the tragic auto deaths of three high school students. Officer Failla last year conducts a spirited, informal discussion with students that touches on driver safety and the challenge of being a young person today and facing peer pressure. As part of the BOCES Arts in Education program, Officer Failla teaches students the value of making " healthy life decisions." One of the reasons he is able to connect effectively with students is because he is a great public speaker who engages them in an interesting and informal two- day dialogue. The message Officer Failla brought to the students at Bethpage was one of tolerance and respect: respect for one another's differences and respect for one another's lives. This means exercising responsibility on the roads, includes a real life explanation on speeding, DWI and the unknown. A 25- year veteran of the force, for the last five years Officer Failla has brought his character education programs to students in more than 40 school districts on Long Island. _ ^ u^~ i ***** i ~*~^ t_ ar-* a ^ 5T » .^—• • SERVING oo eg C\ J 00 \ CD LL IJJ 2L ID CD CO h- UJ O & I h- LU CO LU X o LU LONG ISLAND'S LEADING NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS JALITY OFFSET PRINTING GRAPHIC DESIGN • MAILING & LIST MAINTENANCE • NEWSPAPER PRINTING & PUBLISHING • TRADE PUBLICATIONS • POLITICAL PRINTING & MAILING • ( SOUVENIR/ DINNER JOURNALS A Full Service Union, Graphic Communications and Printing Company 529 BuoAdu/ Ay, BeihpAqE, NY I 1714- 5714 • 5 16.681.0440 • FAX 516.681- 9554 • NEWMEdiApRiNTiNG.

Central Blvd's Sale I'll As a culminating activity for the money unit in second grade, the second grade Central Blvd. teachers held a White Elephant Sale. Items were donated by parents and the children were in charge of creating paper purses, making price tags for their items, being the salespeople and being the consumers. On January 26, 2005 the second graders had a chance to shop in their own classrooms as well as the other three second grade rooms. This year, instead of using the traditionally used plastic coins, the children bought the items with real money. All proceeds went into large class jars and a donation was given to the school wide Tsunami Fundraising Campaign. The second White Elephant Buy That grade parents sent in many brand new items as donations and the children were very excited about this shopping spree. When they were the salespeople, they had to collect the money and give change whenever necessary. The students did a very impressive job handling the money. The teachers stressed this was a project which reflected Americans reaching out to help! Second grade raised over $ 550.00 by holding their White Elephant Sale and donations from their parents. The C. B. S. students should be very proud of themselves for helping others in such an important way. As a school, almost $ 5000.00 was donated... Americans reaching out to help! Pictured here are two classes, one class is making their purchases while the other class is welling their goods. Many terms from the social studies unit are introduced as well. Pictured here are three children engaged in a sale: Michelle Cirillo is counting her money to pay while Kimberly Cosgrove prepares to give change and Dominic Ambrosio is on hand to offer assistance.

Classes at JFK held competitions and a winner from each class competed in the schoolwide bee, much like a traditional spelling bee with the questions centering on geography and identifying regions, cities, etc. of significance rather than the spelling of words. Simon is now eligible to compete in the statewide competition to be held this spring. He is seen here wearing a medal and displaying a certificate of achievement while being congratulated by ( l- r) Assistant Principal Kerri McCarthy, Director of Social Studies Jody Smith, and Interim Principal Gerry Giaimo. A Big Thanh You From Second Graders Pictured here from left to right are Mrs. Cordiner, Mr. Ritchie, Mr. Cordiner, and some of the students holding up their newly delivered mail. Mrs. Cordiner's second grade class in Central Blvd. School would like to thank a community helper, mailman, Mr. Ritchie, for coming in during their holiday party to help distribute the class mail. Mrs. Cordiner has a very realistic looking mailbox in the classroom which the children use to send each other greeting cards for the various holidays. Mr. Ritchie, father of Andy Ritchie, a student in Mrs. Cordiners class, was gracious enough to come in on his day off to help distribute over 300 cards written by the class members to each other wishing them a happy holiday. Mr. Cordiner came in to help along with the class moms, Mrs. Ritchie, Mrs. Gennaro, Mrs. Gilbert, and Mrs. Pile. Everyone worked hard to make the party a success and the class appreciated all the efforts. rn CD m — I x o m H DD CO ( Z m 5 Q m Beikpage High School ~~ Blue Honor Roll ~~ Grade 9 Bartley, Edward Bianco, Vincent Boyle, Kellie Broughton, David Cafiero, Daniel Chefalas, Brittany Chiarappa, Jillian Colaianni, Robert Competello, Stephen Daniel, Sonia Davidson, Ross Femminella, John Freese, Robert Gallagher, Kaitlyn Gil, Tomas Goodson, Dana Guerasio, Richard Jambrone, Samuel Karambatsakis, Maria Kindl, Samantha La Spina, Courtney Lee, Yu Jean Maleszewski, Emil Mc Caffrey, Jamie Peace, John Pierce, Ashlee Potter, William Rieger, Christen Schultheis, Nicole Sheridan, Lauren Singh, Amardeep Sirico, Anthony Skura, John Soileau, Chad Stratford, Daniel Thomas, Sarah Trifilio, Michael Trugman, Lindsay Van Alst, Robert Vitrano, Jessie Woods, Alexandra Zias, Nickolas Grade 10 Abercrombie, Shaunkim Aimetti, Corrin Albano, Alexandria Altilio, Jacquelyn Clickner Jr., Stephen Dolce, Ryan Dracker, Jessica Giordano, Denise Guzman, Laurie Hanly, Melissa Ingwersen Jr., William Israelton, Jamie Katyal, Jatin Kokoris, Georgina Lavalley, Stephen Lewandowski, James Longo, Jacquelyn Manetta, Kristina Marinaro, Alyssa Marinos, George May, Joseph Medford, John Mitchell, Erica Mougias, Michael Ottavio, Adriano Pera, Natalie Rico, Thomas Romanelli, Geno Romano, Alexander Sadecki, Matthew Sporing, James Storz, Emily Tarantin[ o, Anthony Warga, Gregory Wierzbowski, Lauren Wilder, phristopher Will, Kristen Zagata, Victoria Grade ^ 11 Abbruzz- ese, Jamie Brown, kristina Elshamf, Christopher Esposito, Dominic Figueroa, Vanessa Florio, J[ enna Fred, Breanna Gaudiello, Jessica Gaudieljo, Stephanie Gregory, Lindsay Hose, Joseph King, Leticia Kresse, Jackie Lubrat, Erin Maguire1, Stephanie Mc Keoyvn, Danielle Mojica, ( Nicholas Moore, Meaghan Morris, Lisa Quinn, Kathryn Renna, Michael Russotto, Melissa Schiavetta, Donald Shelley, Kara Smith, Eugene Spataro, Stephanie Warkow, Rebecca Zebler, Richard Zito, Lukas Zuniga, Erick Grade 12 Abrahams, Matthew Albergo, Michelle Bistany, Mark Calvanese, Daniel Connors, Joanna De Martinis, Mary Del Monaco, Angela Drenkalo, Alyssa Espinal, Crystal Federico, Matthew Fierro, Gregory Figueroa, Karla Hosford, Michael Imparato, Alyssa Mack, Desira McGovern, Deirdre McGrath, Brian McGrath, Daniel Nordenschild, Thomas Osman, Jenna Pastrich, Michael Pizzuti, Ashley Portelli, Michelle Risolo, Michael Rizzo, Ronald Sadecki, Michael Shorthouse, Richard Stegeman, Jessica Sterling, Danny Strong, Jennifer Thompson, Elizabeth Tichy, James Trotter, Albert Varratos, Michelle Wade, Kevin Zikos, Alexander Gold Honor Roll ooLO C\ J Tf CM I 00 >. . a CD LU = > CD OC J - LU o & I h- UJ CO LU X T— LU I a.

Jim Reeves
Jim Reeves
Gentleman Jim Reeves was perhaps the biggest male star to emerge from the Nashville sound. His mellow baritone voice and muted velvet orchestration combined to create a sound that echoed around his world and has lasted to this day. Detractors will call the sound country-pop (or plain pop), but none can argue against the large audience that loves this music. Reeves was capable of singing hard country ("Mexican Joe" went to number one in 1953), but he made his greatest impact as a country-pop crooner. From 1955 through 1969, Reeves was consistently in the country and pop charts -- an amazing fact in light of his untimely death in an airplane accident in 1964. Not only was he a presence in the American charts, but he became country music's foremost international ambassador and, if anything, was even more popular in Europe and Britain than in his native America. After his death, his fan base didn't diminish at all, and several of his posthumous hits actually outsold his earlier singles; no less than six number one singles arrived in the three years following his burial. In fact, during the '70s and '80s, he continued to have hits with both unreleased material and electronic duets like "Take Me in Your Arms and Hold Me" with Deborah Allen and "Have You Ever Been Lonely?" with his smooth-singing female counterpart of the plush Nashville sound, Patsy Cline, who also perished in an airplane crash, in 1963. But Reeves' legacy remains with lush country-pop singles like "Four Walls" (1957) and "He'll Have to Go" (1959), which defined both his style and an entire era of country music.

In this surgery, the patient's vein or an artificial tube is used to create a bypass around a blocked main leg artery. The blocked arteries in the legs are usually caused by a buildup of plaque. When this buildup occurs, it is called peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Reasons for Procedure
- To restore proper blood supply to your lower leg
- To relieve leg pain caused by a blocked artery
- To prevent the need for amputation
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have femoropopliteal bypass surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Blood clots (such as, clots that causes blockage of bypass graft)
- Infection
- Adverse reaction to the anesthesia
- Organ damage
- Need for limb amputation
- Heart attack or death
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Blood tests
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)—a test that records the heart's activity by measuring electrical currents through the heart muscle
- Chest x-ray—a test that uses radiation to take pictures of structures inside the body
- Ultrasound—a test that uses soundwaves to make an image
Leading up to the surgery:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin)
- Blood thinners, like clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
- If advised by your doctor, take antibiotics to prevent an infection.
- Arrange for help at home after the surgery.
- The night before the surgery, have a light dinner. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
You may be given:
- General anesthesia (almost always used)—blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery
- Spinal anesthesia—the area from the chest down to the legs is numbed; given as an injection in the back
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will make a cut in the skin on the leg. Through this cut, the doctor will take out a vein that will be used to make the bypass. If the vein cannot be used, then an artificial vein is used.
Next, an incision will be made in the groin to expose the femoral artery. This is the artery in the thigh. The doctor will make another incision at the back of the knee to expose another artery. This is called the popliteal artery.
The doctor will use clamps to block the flow of blood through these two arteries. One end of the new bypass vein will be stitched into the femoral artery, and the other end will be stitched into the popliteal artery. Once attached, blood will be passed through the graft to check for leaks. If leaks are found, the doctor will repair them. The clamps will then be removed. This will allow blood to flow through the graft to the lower leg. The doctor will use stitches to close the incisions.
In some cases, a vein in the thigh will be used as a graft while left in place. This is called in situ. In this procedure, the valves inside the vein will be removed with a small scope and a small cutting tool. The vein will then be attached to the arteries to form a graft.
Immediately After Procedure
- For the first 24-48 hours, fluids and pain medicines may be given by IV.
- You may need to wear an oxygen mask for the first 10-12 hours.
- An epidural in your back (to numb the site and relieve pain) may be left in place for the first 3-5 days. Once this is removed, your doctor will give you pain medicine.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
As you heal and the swelling in your leg subsides, you may have pain for weeks or even months. Ask your doctor about medicine to help with the pain. Keep in mind that it is normal for your leg to remain swollen for 2-3 months.
Average Hospital Stay
7-10 days
Post-procedure Care
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may be instructed to:
- For the first 1-2 days, use cold packs to decrease pain and swelling. A nurse will apply a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes each time.
- You may wear boots or special socks to help prevent blood clots
- You may be asked to use an incentive spirometer, to breathe deeply, and to cough frequently. This will improve lung function.
- Your incision will be examined often for signs of infection.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Do not drive for 4-6 weeks, or until you are pain free.
- If advised by your doctor, walk every day. Walking will make your legs stronger. Slowly increase how far you walk.
- Work with a physical therapist.
- Slowly increase the activity you do each day.
- When sitting, keep your legs elevated.
- Place a pillow under your leg when sleeping.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Keep the wound dry. Avoid using talc or powder.
- Avoid fatty foods.
- Do not smoke. Smoking can interfere with healing.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Severe pain in the leg
- Your leg becomes cold, pale, blue, tingly, or numb
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Nausea, vomiting, or constipation
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Dizziness or weakness
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- New, unexplained symptoms
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
