She lives with her mother and father, Katy and Jack, in Seaford. At press time, she was 27 inches tall and weighed 20 pounds. “She’s been great; we got lucky,” Jack told The Citizen. Anna has 20 cousins, most of whom live locally. “A few of them have been nightmare babies, so we have seen what a bad baby could be,” Jack added. At press time, Jack said Anna had four teeth. She had a few rough nights teething a few months ago, but he said that was the worst of it. As a very active baby, Anna keeps Jack and Katy busy, Jack said. She started taking her first steps in November and now walks without support. A typical day for Anna includes walking around the house and playing with her toys and clothes. “She used to sit still, but now that she’s walking, she likes to show off,” he said. Jack talked about Anna’s bins full of toys in the TV room. Her favorite toy used to be Sophie the giraffe, but she now likes all kinds of baby dolls, her latest being Elf on a Shelf. She also plays with her piggy bank a lot. To Anna, television is usually boring, though she will watch the first 10 minutes of “Yo Gabba Gabba!” Anna loves music. Her favorite song, Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” gets her to stop crying, Jack said. Her favorite foods seem to be turkey and sweet potatoes. Jack and Katy often take turns watching Anna. “When I’m off, she stays with me. When my wife’s off, she stays with her. When we both work, she stays with my mother- in-law. We’re lucky to have her as a babysitter,” Jack said. Jack is a police officer, and Katy is a teacher.

SEAFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL students unload donated trees for Sandy victims.
MEET SANTA: The Annual Wantagh Yacht Club-sponsored “Meet Santa” eventwas held at Wantagh Park recently. Santa arrived with sirens and flashinglights by fire engine, courtesy of the Wantagh Fire Department. HempsteadTown Clerk Mark Bonilla greeted John Rogers, commodore of the WantaghYacht Club, Ellen Rogers (Elf), and Matthew, Gianna and Tessa Cacace ofWantagh.
Seaford students bring joyto superstorm Sandy victims
The magic of the holiday season was infull force when Seaford Middle School’sService Club and National Junior HonorSociety, along with Sequa Delicatessenon Jerusalem Avenue, collaborated tohelp spread holiday cheer to families stillaffected by Superstorm Sandy.
Both faculty and students from SeafordMiddle School graciously donated holi-day trees, wreaths and candy canes whileSequa Deli contributed 100 cups of hotchocolate. More than 30 middle schoolstudents volunteered to deliver the trees,hot chocolate and candy canes to Seaford
Harbor Elementary School, where theywere disbursed to the community.
“Thanks to the generosity of ourschool community over 36 trees andseven wreaths were donated on-site and12 more trees were delivered the follow-ing day to individual homes in Seaford,Wantagh and Copiague,” said SeafordMiddle School teacher Patty Gilroy, theservice club advisor and organizer of theevent. “It was a true community eventthat brought much-needed joy to all dur-ing this holiday season.”
East Meadow’s The Carltun turned intoa place of chills and thrills this fall whenThe ELIJA Foundation held its annualHalloween Gala to support itsCommunity Outreach Program, whichprovides support to Long Island and NewYork City residents affected by autism.
“Every year we reach out to thecommunity to support us in raisingfunds for ELIJA and every year ourcommunity comes through for us,”says Lynne Koufakis, gala chairper-son, parent of an ELIJA student andautism advocate.
In addition to raising awareness andfunds through festive activities,including a silent auction, raffle andpsychic readings, ELIJA honored twoof Long Island’s autism communitysupporters.
State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr.,Republican of Merrick, was awardedELIJA’s Champion of Hope Awardacknowledging his efforts in helpingNew York become the 29th state toadopt autism insurance reform. Anactive leader in the fight againstautism, Senator Fuschillo championed“one of the most comprehensive autisminsurance reform measures in thenation,” an ELIJA news release stated.
Senator Fushillo reiterated his heart-felt sentiment that he “will never stopfighting for the rights of those familiesaffected by autism.”
“Senator Fuschillo has always beena champion for the disabled, regard-less of the disability. Autism insurancereform has been going on for threeyears and Senator Fuschillo has nevergiven up – even in the face of vetoes,”says Michael Giangregorio ofMerrick, ELIJA board president andautism advocate.
“It’s never been politics for him. Hesees this bill as something the commu-nity needs and genuinely cares about.”
Senator Fuschillo received the 2012Champion of Hope Award for author-ing New York State’s autism insurance
reform law. The law, which took effecton November 1, enables individualswith autism spectrum disorders toreceive insurance coverage for screen-ing, diagnosis and treatment.
The new law will save families withautism tens of thousands of dollars ayear in out-of-pocket expenses forautism treatment and therapies, whichmany insurance companies refuse tocover, said a news release from thesenator’s office.
This new law requires insurance compa-nies to provide coverage to both childrenand adults for evidence-based, medicallynecessary autism therapies, such as appliedbehavior analysis (ABA) – a practice thatELIJA has provided through its school forover six years.

Our wishes for 2013Every morning is a new start. But each January 1 we
consider it an especially important beginning. Certainlycalling it a possible “fiscal cliff” makes it sound omi-nous. But we have just as many reasons to considereach morning an opportunity.
Drive across this country and you see many richlands and productive industries. Visit some universitiesand you meet many promising young minds.
We have more in common – despite our diversity ofincome, race and creed – than partisan politics makes itseem. We need to build on our shared interests.
Our wishes for 2013 start with a wish for coopera-tion among the White House, Senate and House ofRepresentatives.
Superstorm Sandy hit the wealthy and poor alike,although the poor are finding it harder to rebound. Wehave learned a lesson in empathy from it. Amazingheroes appeared.
We encourage our local government leaders to thinkseriously about measures for preventing future stormdamage. They have already learned a great deal abouthow to prepare for future disasters. And many localofficials have shown how government can truly servethe people.
Still shell-shocked by the massacre of innocent chil-dren in Newtown, Connecticut, a town much like ourown, we look for safer schools, better mental healthcare and sensible gun control measures.
And although we are a local newspaper, principallyconcerned with local issues, we cannot help but end ourwishes for 2013 with the fervent hope for world peace.
