What began as an nine-year odyssey ofprotest by a group of community activiststo update the 1950s-style sewage treat-ment process at the Jones Beach sewagetreatment plant has come to an end.

The long-awaited construction projectlinking the Jones Beach SewageTreatment Plant outfall pipe to theCedar Creek Water Pollution ControlPlant outfall pipe is now completed.The project began in August 2010 at acost of $2 million, paid for by the state.The project went online in July.

Now, treated sewage from JonesBeach will be discharged, via theCedar Creek outfall pipe, into theocean. Previously treated sewage fromJones Beach was discharged into theSloop Channel in the western bays.

The new outflow pipe will help to pro-tect Zachs Bay and the western bays sayenvironmentalists, including Rob Weltner,president of S.P.L.A.S.H. (Stop Polluting,Littering and Save Harbors).

Bill Fonda, spokesman for the stateDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation, said, “We have inspectedthe force main [main conduit pipe fromthe plant along Ocean parkway to CedarCreek outflow pipe] and connections,and have approved the start up of theforce main.

“We also have certification from theprofessional engineering firm ofLockwood, Kessler and Bartlett out ofSyosset that the design and construc-tion of the effluent pump station andforce main have been completed tostate standards. This certification wasmade on June 27.”

Additionally, Mr. Fonda said the“Jones Beach outfall pipe to SloopChannel has been sealed permanently.”

Environmentalists respond“This project will go a long way to

improving the overall water quality inthis highly used area, especially for thebusy summer season,” said Mr. Weltner.

“The completion of this project means

residents, boaters and beachgoers willhave cleaner bays in summer. In partic-ular, the popular Zach’s Bay, which hasbeen prone to beach closures in the past,will be a safer beach for families wholove this area!” stated AdrienneEsposito, executive director, CitizensCampaign for the Environment.

Gary Smith, president of the Bellmore-Wantagh chapter of SPLASH, told thisnewspaper that activism by a solid group ofresidents, which included peaceful protestsat the Jimmy Buffet summer concerts atNikon at Jones Beach Theater to spread theword of the poor sewage treatment at theplant, likely helped turn the dialoguebetween the state and the activists.

Effluent into the western baysThe Jones Beach Sewage Treatment

Plant (STP) outfall pipe was discharginginto the Sloop Channel (the westernbays), a sub-region of the South ShoreEstuary Reserve, extending from thewestern boundary of the Town ofHempstead to the Nassau/Suffolk

County line. These embayments are anextensive area of shallow water and saltmarsh islands connected by channelsand tidal creeks.

The bays contain the greatest concen-tration of salt marsh islands. They arehome to many species of marine and birdlife, including hard shell clams, floun-der, snowy egrets and blue herons.

The STP can process up to 44 milliongallons of sewage a year, although dur-ing the winter months, it processes virtu-ally nothing.

Studies are underway that are evaluat-ing the water quality, fish populationsand currents within these embayments.

At a hearing held in summer 2011, sci-entists from Stony Brook University saidtheir study indicated that there is toomuch discharge from sewage plantsentering the system which was not ableto be flushed out properly to the ocean,as previously thought. A final hearingand report will be issued in November,concluded Mr. Weltner.

End of an era – and tradition

A message from Arnold Goldstein,superintendent of North BellmoreSchools:

Dear parents: It is a pleasure to greet you as we

approach the start of another school year. After a difficult and challenging year

culminating in the closing of Gunther[School], we begin 2012-2013 with theanticipation, excitement and exhilarationthat the first day of school inevitablyinvokes. As always, some things changeand some things remain the same.

This new school year brings some newfaces, particularly in our administrativestaff. These changes include a new directorof curriculum (Roxanne Garcia France), anew interim assistant superintendent ofbusiness (Mark Schissler) and a new assis-tant principal in Saw Mill (Evelyn Lolis).Additionally, as you most likely know,Marie Testa, former principal of Gunther,is now the principal of Martin Avenue fol-lowing the retirement of Mark Wiener.

While there are changes in personnel, aswell as the schools that some students willnow be attending, our fundamental com-mitment to “reaching and challenging alllearners in an empathetic culture of respectand kindness” remains unaltered and unaf-fected. Plato observed that if you want toknow what constitutes a good education,“the answer is easy…education makesgood men and good men act nobly.”

While we would certainly extend thatdefinition to include good women, Platowisely encapsulated the ongoing and time-less goal of education – a goal which tran-scends changes in tests, texts and curricu-lum. Nevertheless, changes in tests, textsand curriculum are coming.

Elsewhere in this newspaper, you will

learn about the Common Core Curriculum,which encourages students to explore top-ics in greater depth. You will also note thatthere will be changes in state and localassessments, which we use to ensure thatwe meet the needs of all children.

Finally, the newly enacted Dignity forAll Students Act (DASA) ensures that eachchild is treated with the dignity and respecthe or she deserves.

As September approaches, you can bevery confident that the staff of NorthBellmore will work with you to ensure thatthe academic, social and emotional needsof your child are fully met. Together, wewill make 2012-2013 an enriching andenjoyable experience that will prepare allof our children for the challenges ahead.

Arnold Goldstein, Superintendent of Schools

Message from Dr. Joe Famularo,Bellmore superintendent of schools:

Dear Bellmore residents: As we turn the page on the calendar and

begin a new school year, I welcome youback from what I hope was a wonderful,relaxing and enjoyable summer vacation.

As we embark on the 2012-2013 schoolyear, led by a dedicated Board ofEducation, I look forward to the continuedacademic growth of our student body sup-ported by our hardworking administrators,faculty and staff.

This July, as we do every summer, I metwith the board to review our long-rangeplans and update our goals for the upcom-ing school year. The curriculum develop-ment projects completed by our adminis-trators and teachers this summer will onlyfurther enhance our fine instructional pro-grams and keep Bellmore in compliancewith all state and federal mandates.

As we prepare to kick off this schoolyear, I urge you to become active in yourchild’s academic career. Please attend allparent-teacher events and remain in ongo-ing communication with your child’steacher(s). It is only through a collabora-tive home-school partnership that eachlearner’s academic potential can be

attained and Bellmore can continue toremain a “community of learners.”

In addition, please lend your support byjoining and participating in your school’sPTA. These volunteer organizations con-tribute so much to the success of ourschools and your children.

I am looking forward to an outstandingyear for our school district.

Dr. Joseph S. Famularo, Superintendent of Schools

The Annual Kevin Prior andAdam Rand Memorial GolfClassic sponsored by theBellmore Fire Department [anddeveloped with the help of SeanMcCarthy] came to an officialend on Monday after 10 years ofraising scholarship funds in thenames of Kevin Prior and AdamRand, two BFD firefighters whosacrificed their lives onSeptember 11, 2001, to savecountless others.

Tom McKeon, spokespersonfor the BFD, told Bellmore Lifethe funds raised throughout theyears were put into a scholarshipfund to help junior firefighterswith books and other supplies forcollege. Doreen Wheeler accepted flow-

ers on behalf of her former fiancéKevin Prior; Maryann McCarthyaccepted flowers for her son Sean,who died from a 9/11 health-relat-ed condition.

While there were comments,from “It’s time to end it” to “I’d liketo see it continue,” Mr. McKeon saidthe memories of Mr. Prior and Mr.Rand would live on in the annualremembrance dedication eachSeptember 11, and in the new WorldTrade Center steel beam to be dedi-cated during 9/11 ceremonies.Construction on the steel memorialhas begun.

TOWN RESPONDS: Asreported in the July 19 issue ofBellmore Life, the stateDepartment of EnviromentalConservation took over allresponsibility for testingHempstead Bay waters, includ-ing the East and Middle Bays,after discovering the town wasusing a different method to testthe waters for purity. The state,at the request of the federalEnvironmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), closed the bayto shellfishing until September,throwing tens of shellfishermenout of work.

Ron Masters, commissioner ofthe town’s Department of Con-servation and Waterways,responded in a letter to the DECregarding its stripping the town ofits longtime responsibility of test-ing the waters for certification:

“I must convey my disap-pointment in the manner inwhich the federal Departmentof Health and Human Services(HHS) has dealt with the townon the issue of bay water test-ing. The HHS ‘review’ of ourtownship’s lab has included nosite visit. What’s more, HHSpersonnel have never met withtown staff to discuss findings.Our staff has received no fol-low-up guidance on testing pro-tocols and procedures or otherrecommendations from HHS.”

He added, however, that“Be assured that my staff willcontinue to collect water sam-ples on behalf of the DEC insupport of the reopening ofshellfish lands.”

5 things I learned from Zumba1. You are more likely to exercise when it is fun. Zumba is an

exercise program that is like going to a party and dancing to happymusic. Just so, kids are more likely to read when they enjoy whatthey are reading. Educators today say, let your kids read what theylike but make sure they do it every day.

2. Improvisation can lead to new discoveries. Beto Perez invent-ed Zumba when he left his aerobics tapes at home and was facedwith teaching a class without them. Instead, he had his students dotheir exercises to salsa and other fun music CDs he had in his car.Teachers who design lesson plans that get their students to impro-vise are providing them with important life skills.

3. Many people need support groups to keep them motivated.Witness the success of Alcoholics Anonymous, Weight Watchers,Curves and Mary Kay. You could do Zumba in your room. Youcould run on your own, but being part of a group makes you better.Group learning in classrooms helps both the person who needs theextra tip and the one who shares it. In fact, once you know how toexplain something it means you understand it well yourself.

4. Many Zumba instructors are former students whose own suc-cess at weight loss and fitness made them want to do the same forothers. It makes them happy to share what gives them joy. So too,the best school teachers are the ones who have a passion for theirsubjects and make their passion contagious.

5. Millions of people around the world in over 125 countries doZumba to a combination of music from many cultures. And as theyare absorbing the flavor of all those rhythms and tones, they are alsolearning that essentially, we are all brothers and sisters making ajoyful noise.

There have been some changes around here...

...and this Back to School issue of your community newspaper is agood time to announce them.

Your community newspaper has become more than a weeklyprinted volume in your mailbox. We also send out Twitter postingson breaking news, Facebook notifications, and a weekly newsletter.The website has news that did not make the print deadline and extracoverage that didn’t fit. It also includes video coverage. And wehave a music blog.

Readers who log in and become online subscribers are eligiblefor all kinds of fun prizes such as tickets to concerts. Print sub-scribers can also win other great prizes. Do both, and you have thebest of both worlds.

Around the end of the school year, we printed a special guideto the coming Presidential Elections, with extra copies delivered tothe schools for use during the fall. The guide is also available inprintable format on our website for teachers and students, as well asanybody who would like to refresh his or her knowledge about thisimportant process.

One of the most crucial jobs ahead for our readers is becominginformed about the upcoming election issues and, of course, voting.We are thankful to our sponsors, the Newspaper in EducationFoundation and the League of Women Voters, for helping us tobring this information to you.

Citizenship education is also one of the most important roles filled

by our local schools. We like tothink we help provide that edu-cation by providing a trainingground for local students whointern at the newspaper. Oneday, they may be interviewinga foreign head of state, anothercovering a local hearing about

clean water. They learn howour police and fire depart-ments work, all the while hon-ing their communicationsskills.

If you are not now a sub-scriber, please think seriouslyabout becoming one. We will

work our hardest to make youglad you did.

And we thank our longtimesubscribers and advertisers foryour support. Please continueto send us your news and ads,so that we can continue to beyour community forum.

North Bellmore curriculum and instruction highlightsby Roxanne Garcia France

The North Bellmore School Districtcontinues to focus on reaching and chal-lenging all learners through its compre-hensive curriculum – a curriculum thatoffers an array of research-based pro-grams that ensure all students are giventhe opportunity to meet academic,enrichment and recreational challengeswith success.

This year, the district will focus onimplementing the Common Core stan-dards, a New York State EducationDepartment initiative aimed to betterprepare children for college and theworkforce.

State assessments, starting thisspring, will reflect the Common Corestandards. Utilizing the research-basedcore programs already established inthe district (described below), ourschools will monitor the effectivenessof the programs in meeting the needsof all students.

We do this through Response toIntervention (RtI) and AcademicIntervention Services (AIS); a three-tierapproach, starting with strategies imple-mented by the teacher in the classroom,that ensures students receive the inter-vention and support needed for success.

In an effort to support our schoolswith the continuous implementation ofRtI/AIS, the district uses RtI direct, aweb-based program that monitors theeffectiveness of our core programs,improves student achievement, reducesspecial education referrals and paper-

work, returns time to teaching andenhances data-driven decisions.

The North Bellmore School Districtoffers a comprehensive grades K-6 bal-anced literacy program, GuidedReading, which fosters children’s loveof reading through literature circles,shared reading and independent reading.

In addition, the district continues touse Wilson Language Systems, a supple-mental program that provides preven-tion and early intervention for strug-gling/reluctant readers. The district usesthe Fundations program for the primarygrades (K-3) and Just Words for theupper grades (4-6) in order to strengthenour students’ word study.

North Bellmore will be offering theMaking Meaning program this year inorder to increase students’ reading com-prehension. This supplemental programprovides an additional level of supportto the Guided Reading program by usingnonfiction and fiction read-aloud books.

We continue to use the Step Up toWriting program that teaches explicitwriting strategies within the writingprocess to help students organize theirthinking and writing. This program sup-ports a key component to reading, writ-ten expression, and is used primarily forinformational, expository writing.

Through this writing program, stu-dents have developed confidence inresponding to constructed responsequestions with cohesive multiparagraphpieces that are organized and written ina logical order, and in which studentsexpand and support their ideas.

Students’ reading progress will becontinuously assessed using NWEA[North West Education Association], alocal assessment that assists teachers inimproving teaching and learning with-out solely relying on the end-of-yearNew York State assessment. (A commit-tee of teachers and administrators hasrecommended replacing Acuity withNWEA, which has been used effective-ly in other districts.)

The district continues to build itsgrades K-6 math program withenVision math, which uses daily prob-lem-based, interactive learning in addi-tion to visual learning strategies to helpstudents deepen their understanding ofMath concepts by making meaningfulconnections in each lesson.

The program engages studentsthrough technology, utilizing theInternet and SMART Boards. Students’math progress is continuously assessedusing a local developed enVisionassessment which is aligned to theCommon Core mathematics standards.

The district continues to create anempathetic culture of respect andkindness that reaches and challengesall students. Our extensive preventionprogram, which has been in existencefor over 25 years, offers an array ofservices that concentrate on develop-ing positive relationships, promotingself-esteem and social growth, teach-ing healthy problem solving and deci-sion making, as well as providing anopportunity for school-communityinvolvement.

The prevention program is more thanprepared to address the requirements ofthe newly enacted Dignity for All StudentACT (DASA), which states that no stu-

CORRECTION: The Walk in Love for Jesus Church in Nor th Bellmoreis an open-door congregation that receives residents in the commu-nity of all denominations who wish to par ticipate more in individualprayer, and in singing hymns and discussing biblical passages in acollaborative, interactive and intimate manner with the pastor andwith other parishioners in the congregation – all within the quietudeof the surroundings and the environment.

No one injured in bus collision

Public safety is always a top priority

To Bellmore Life: I applaud the signing of the Sewage

Pollution Right To Know’law, which Ico-sponsored, because it is a win forpublic safety. With the enactment of thislegislation, wastewater treatment plantswill now be required to immediatelynotify the public in the event of a dis-charge of certain untreated or partiallytreated sewage.

This bill helps ensure the public safe-

ty in the event of a spill or leakage at asewer treatment facility. By requiringthese facilities to provide detailed infor-mation to local departments of healthand media, we have given these groupsthe tools necessary to ensure that appro-priate responses are taken to safeguardagainst the spread of disease. LongIsland waterways are an integral part ofour community and heritage, and I ampleased that we’ve taken another step toensure their continued beauty.

Professional learning and curriculum area projects

With legislative mandates and theexpectations of the New York State stan-dards and assessments placed upon us, itis imperative that teachers and teachingassistants continue their professionallearning to refine and enhance curriculumand district programs. Effective educatorsare lifelong learners; to this end, teachersattended classes throughout the summer.

In the area of English Language Arts,teachers participated in classes thatenabled them to supplement and enhanceour core curriculum. One course focusedon the six essential shifts in the CommonCore curriculum and gave teachers strate-gies for implementing these shifts withtheir students. Additionally, teachersworked in collegial groups to create les-sons and materials to support the imple-mentation of the new state standards.

In the area of mathematics, many teach-ers deepened their professional knowl-edge by learning a variety of strategies to

assist children with computational strate-gies for addition, subtraction, multiplica-tion and division. They learned how theseprocesses become vital in upper levelmathematics.

Teachers also worked in small, colle-gial groups to create SMART Boardmaterials to support our new math cur-riculum.

The socio-emotional development ofour students continues to be a district pri-ority. Teachers participated in a courseenabling them to build on previouslyimplemented techniques for establishingand maintaining a positive classroomenvironment.

We are all looking forward to anupcoming school year that exceeds expec-tations for students’ social, emotional andacademic development.

Standardized testing program Each year, as part of an ongoing assess-

ment of the instructional program, a seriesof standardized tests are administered.This information, combined with infor-mation about each child’s daily perform-ance, assists the district and its teachers indetermining the need for adjustments inthe instructional program.

Effective schools/shared decision making

Bellmore Schools are implementing aneffective schools model for schoolimprovement and will complement thiseffort by implementing the districtwideplan for shared decision making. Theeffective schools project is a research-based model for strengthening teachingand improving student performance thatuses a school-based decision makingprocess to enhance teacher involvement.

Each school has a “site-based team”that involves teachers, administrators,noninstructional staff and parents insetting long and short-term goals basedon the needs of that school. Again thisyear, the school-based team will followthe specific recommendations of thedistrictwide Shared Decision MakingPlanning Committee, which were sub-mitted to the Board of Education inJanuary 2004, and approved by theNew York State Education Departmentin March 2004.

For nearly 10 years, A Taste of Homebakery has been North Bellmore’s placeto get great food, delicious pastries anddelightful service.

Owners and sisters MonicaTarantino and Rose Fuger opened theshop in December 2002, and havebeen “tastefully” successful since.While Ms. Tarantino takes care of themarketing and technology arms of thebusiness, Ms. Fuger makes all thedelicious creations that the store is sowell-known for.

“We are not just an Italian bakery,”said Ms. Tarantino. The bakery sellsseveral different items, from pastriesand specialty cakes to sandwiches andsoups. A Taste of Home makes spe-ciality cakes and items, such as adrum set cake and a bassinet madefrom watermelon.

They also create custom weddingand groom cakes. A Taste of Homeoffers a variety of special items forholidays, such as chocolate turkeys,pies and gingerbread houses.

The sisters have always had a loveof baking. Growing up, their motherbaked while their father decorated thecakes. Ms. Fuger took a baking classin high school, owned her first bakeryat 24, and sold it to start a family.Then, she started A Taste of Home.

Ms. Fuger even appeared on theFood Network show “Sweet Genius”.Filmed in January, the show made herbake an original cake. Even thoughshe did not win, she still felt it was“exciting and a good experience.”

The store is open every day at 6a.m. and is available for breakfast andlunch. “Sometimes,” Ms. Tarantinosaid, “Rose is here at 2 a.m. bakingpastries.”

Reaping awardsFor the fifth year in a row, A Taste

of Home Bakery was named Best ofLong Island for coffee, bakery, dessertplace and chocolatier by the readersof the Long Island Press.

In 2011, the bakery was the recipi-ent of the Long Island Food CriticBakery Award for Bakery of the Year.While the shop is mostly known forits baked goods, it also cooks upaward-winning café-style foods,including soups.

The bakery prides itself in beingable to offer its customers great foodfor great prices. Over the summer, aniced coffee is $1.99 and iced tea isless than a dollar. In fact, the bakeryhas been named the Best Lunch Dealthis year.

The bakery also offers cookingclasses for both children and adults.For kids, it provides a cookie decorat-ing class that is popular for birthdayparties. For an older crowd, A Taste ofHome’s Ms. Fuger will teach you tobake a one-of-a-kind layer cake. Aladies night can be spent at the bakeryon Psychic Night, where you can getyour future told while eating yummypastries.

Community in mindA Taste of Home also helps out the

community in any way it can. Alongwith cooking for the Bellmore FamilyStreet Festival and the StrawberryFestival, the bakery plans to providefood for Mepham High School’sHomecoming celebration inSeptember. “The name of the shop is

fitting. We try to make the customerfeel as much at home as possible,”said Ms. Tarantino.

The bakery is known for its cus-tomization of cakes and cookies.“We’re pretty open,” said Ms.Tarantino, “We try to make it special forwhat the customers are looking for.”

With many connections to cateringbusinesses, the bakery offers a Build-A-Cake wedding session, where thebride and groom can pick out the size,taste and look of the cake. “Rose willbrainstorm with the customer to

decide on the perfect cake for theoccasion,” noted Ms. Tarantino.

“While we offer basic models ofdesserts, if you tell us you need some-thing for people with allergies or sugar-free cakes, we can accommodate andmake it special,” Ms. Tarantinoexplained. “We are very flexible andextremely responsive.”

While A Taste of Home has no plansfor future stores, the bakery continuesto grow. A Taste of Home offers ship-ping around the country and had prod-ucts sold in some Stop & Shop storesfor the holidays. “We believe we haveproduct for all folks, from young toold,” said Ms. Tarantino.

A Taste of Home enjoys the personalconnection the owners have with itscustomers. “We know a lot of our cus-tomers by name,” said Ms. Tarantino,“Our goal is that our food looks goodand tastes even better,” Ms. Tarantinosaid. “And that is a tradition we value.”

A good time to check your children's feetby Dr. Leon Livingston, Dr. Douglas

Livingston and associates

The summer has flown by and once againthoughts are turning to school and to thechildren going back into regular shoes. Thisis a good time for parents to evaluate theirchildren’s foot care needs and to try to pre-vent problems from developing.

Warts are hard and painful lesions thatusually appear on the bottom of the feet.They can appear raised or relatively flat,and will often have a cauliflower-likepattern with black speckles. Theselesions are caused by a virus, which canspread upon contact.

Children walk barefoot around pools andin playgrounds during the summer and thiscan be a source of contamination. Otherplaces the wart virus can be transmittedfrom one person to another are bathrooms,showers and locker rooms.

Unlike warts on the hands, over-the-counter medications are usually ineffective.Treatment options include the removal ofthe hard skin and the application of chemi-cal or cryotherapy modalities.

Surgical excision of the wart is reserved

for painful warts that do not respond toother treatment modalities. At LivingstonFoot Care Specialists the doctors utilizepain-free and technologically advancedmodalities to help eliminate warts quicklyand more effectively. Children can performtheir usual daily activities without interrup-tion and without surgery.

Ingrown nailsIngrown nails are another common prob-

lem seen in children. Repetitive injuries tothe toe, such as heavy objects falling andhitting the toe, pressure from poorly fittedshoes, nail fungus or bruising the toe whileengaged in athletics may cause changes tothe nail matrix. In time, the nail may abnor-mally grow inward.

Another common causative factor is poornail trimming, which may leave a spike of nailthat can protrude into the skin as the nail growsoutward. It is important not to trim the nails tooshort and to cut them straight across. Youngchildren often cause ingrown nails by picking attheir nails. Once the nail becomes ingrown,home based “bathroom surgery” is not recom-mended as this may significantly worsen thecondition.

It is important to address the ingrown nailand have it professionally treated as the offend-ing nail border needs to be removed before theinfection may spread to the underlying bone.The doctors at Livingston Foot Care Specialiststreat this condition successfully and they canprevent its recurrence.

Flat feetFlat feet are usually the result of one’s genet-

ics. It is normal to have flattening of the footwhile walking. Young children tend to haveflexible, flat feet and they usually develop nor-mal arches before they reach school age.

However, if the child’s feet do not developthe normal arches, the foot and leg muscleshave to accommodate the flat feet, and the extrademand on the foot and leg muscles can causefatigue, leg pain or cramping and pain in theshins at night. Hip, knee and/or back malalign-ment can result, as can the development ofbunions and hammertoes.

Children’s feet need to be evaluated, asearly detection can prevent more significantproblems from developing. Board certifieddoctors are specifically trained to evaluatethe children and to determine the mosteffective treatment modality.

Orthotics are the treatment of choice formost children. Orthotics realign the foot toallow it to function properly. The orthoticdevices should be custom-made for the

child to maximize the correction and helpprevent other problems from developing.

Heel painHeel pain is another common condition

in children. Most often in children, heel painis caused by inflammation in a growth plateon the back of the heel bone. The pain is onthe back or the bottom of the heel and ispresent with increased activity or standingand walking.

Other causes of heel pain can includestress to a ligament called the plantar fascia.This pain is usually on the heel near the archand is worse after getting out of bed and atthe end of the day. The podiatrist has manytreatment options for this condition and pro-fessional evaluation is imperative as sys-temic diseases like juvenile rheumatoidarthritis have to be eliminated.

At Livingston Foot Care Specialists,1685 Newbridge Road, North Bellmore,children are important patients as we realizethe importance of early intervention to helpprevent the development of serious footdeformities. Active children are happy chil-dren and no child can enjoy physical activi-ties if there is foot pain.

As we approach the beginning of theschool year, it is important to be aware ofbackpack safety. As a parent there are someimportant things to consider when choos-ing the right backpack.

When worn correctly, the weight of abackpack is evenly distributed across thebody. However, if used incorrectly, it canstrain muscles and joints and may causeback and neck pain.

According to the American ChiropracticAssociation (ACA), young children aresuffering from back pain much earlier thanprevious generations and the use of over-weight backpacks is a contributing factor.Girls and younger children may be espe-cially at risk for backpack-related injuriesbecause they are smaller and may carryloads that are heavier in proportion totheir body weight.

The U.S. Consumer Product SafetyCommission reports that backpack-relatedinjuries send thousands of people to theemergency rooms each year.

What can you do? The ACA offersthe following tips to prevent the need-less pain that backpack misuse couldcause your children.

Most importantly, your child’s backpack

should weigh no more than 5-10% of his orher body weight. A heavier one wouldcause your child to bend forward in anattempt to support the weight on their back,rather than on their shoulders, by the straps.

A backpack should be adjusted to sit nomore than four inches below the waistline.If it hangs too low, it increases the weighton the shoulders, causing your child to leanforward when walking.

Urge your child to wear both shoulderstraps so that the child does not lean to oneside. This can lead to neck pain and musclespasms as well as low back pain. Thestraps of the bag should also be padded sothat they do not dig into your child’s shoul-ders. Explain to your child that they maydecide which books they need to carryeach day and which books they can leaveat home for their homework.

If your child experiences any painfrom backpack use, a chiropractic exam-ination should be performed to diagnoseany spinal imbalances which could be aresult of improper backpack use.Doctors of chiropractic are trained todiagnose and treat patients of all agesand will use a gentler type of treatmentfor children. They can also prescribe

exercises designed to help childrendevelop strong muscles along with

instruction in good nutrition, posture andsleeping habits.

Hempstead Town will markInternational Homeless Animals Day onSaturday, August 25, a date that helps raiseawareness of animals living in shelters.The town is recognizing this event in con-junction with the shelter’s “Summer ofLove” pet adoption program, during whichall pet adoption fees are waived.

In appreciation of those who visit theshelter and bring toys or treats for the ani-mals on August 25, a door prize drawingwill be held. There will also be raffles andbaked goods for sale.

“Sadly, for many cats and dogs living inshelters, every day is Homeless AnimalDay,” said Shelter Director CynthiaIacopella. “Here at the Hempstead TownAnimal Shelter, we are proud to do ourvery best to help these animals find a per-manent loving home.”

During “Summer of Love” – throughSeptember 20 and including InternationalHomeless Animals Day on August 25 – allcats and dogs adopted from the shelter willalso receive spay/neuter, rabies vaccina-tions and microchipping, all free of charge!

An estimated six to eight million ani-mals enter shelters each year, with onlyabout half being adopted. In fact, in theUnited States, there are more animals liv-ing on the streets and in shelters than inhomes.

The town’s August 25 adoption eventwill run from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Animal

Shelter, 3320 Beltagh Avenue, Wantagh. For information about this event and/or

“Summer of Love,” call 785-5220.

In addition to the immunizationsrequired by day cares, nursery, pre-kindergarten, primary and secondaryschools, the following diseases are rec-ommended for vaccines by theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics,American Academy of FamilyPhysicians and the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention: influenza,meningococcal, rotavirus, hepatitis Aand human papilloma virus vaccines.

These groups also recommend addi-tional doses of diphtheria, tetanus andpertussis, mumps, rubella, polio,haemophilus influenzae type b andvaricella vaccines. Some of these maybe obligatory for enrollment in post-secondary schools or health care train-ing programs. New York State’s

Vaccines for Children Program(VFC) provides required vaccines tohealth care providers at no cost foruninsured children and those whosehealth insurance does not coverchildhood immunizations.

Nassau County Department ofHealth also reminds adults that theynever outgrow the need for vaccines.The specific immunizations neededare determined by factors such as age,lifestyle, presence of high-risk condi-tions, type and locations of travel andprevious immunization history.

For information, contact your healthcare provider or call the Nassau CountyDepartment of Health ImmunizationHotline weekdays from 9 a.m.-4:45p.m. at 227-9416.

Additionally, Senator Fuschillo pre-sented Ms. Schary with a copy of a leg-islative resolution passed by the Senatehonoring Ms. Schary and the otherWomen of Distinction from across thestate for their contributions to the resi-

dents of New York State.Lisa Williams Schary is a dedicated

After retiring, Ms. Schary begandevoting her time and energy to pro-tecting and preserving Long Island’sremaining open spaces so that they canbe enjoyed for generations to come.

Lisa and her husband Richard found-ed the Friends of the MassapequaPreserve, a nonprofit organization thatprotects, cares for and conserves thepreserve’s 423 acres of undeveloped

woods, ponds, lakes and fresh waterwetlands that are home to hundreds ofplant and animal species.

Since the organization’s inception,she has worked tirelessly to raiseawareness and educate residents aboutthis natural treasure in their own com-munity, sponsoring educational pro-grams and even producing a video doc-umentary that has been used in localschools and libraries, the senator stated.

Ms. Schary is a founding and currentboard member of the Friends ofNorman Levy Preserve and the Friendsof Tackapausha Preserve, and sits onthe boards of many other environmen-tal organizations, including the LongIsland Greenbelt Trail Conference andthe New York State Department ofTransportation’s Scenic Bikeways
