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.

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. To read more about ELIJAyou can visit www.ELIJA.org, orFacebook.com/TheELIJASchool or tweet@ELIJASchool

About The ELIJA FoundationThe ELIJA Foundation is a not-for-

profit, 501(c)(3) organization serving par-ents, educators, professionals and care-givers of children with Autistic SpectrumDisorders (ASD) on Long Island. Since2002, The ELIJA Foundation has provid-ed the community with educationalopportunities that focus on improving thequality of programs and services availableto children with autism.

In 2006, The ELIJA School openedits doors to extend the mission of thefoundation and start helping childrenwith autism. The foundation’s focus isto empower families and improve thecompetency level of professionals, byproviding training on the mostadvanced treatment and educationalstrategies that maximize the potentialof those affected by autism.

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.

THE CHAPEL on Wantagh Avenue got a new look for the new year. photo by John H. Meyer

OLD CHURCH GETS ANEW LOOK: Finally aftermonths of meetings andplanning, the work that hadto be done to restore one ofW a n t a g h / L e v i t t o w n ’ sremaining landmarks hasbeen completed. The littlechapel that stands on thegrounds of the St. John ofJerusalem Cemetery onWantagh Avenue looks likenew. This small, sturdy,wood-sided former GermanM e t h o d i s t - E p i s c o p a lMission (circa 1865) has anew coat of paint, thesteeple has been repairedand replaced, along withnew roof shingles. The win-dow glass has also beenreplaced and painted.

According to the commit-tee the next step is to restorethe interior and allow civilweddings and church servic-es to be held there. Theyadded that it just takesmoney, and the donationsthat are coming in they’revery thankful for.

THE SEAFORD HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY CHEERLEADING SQUAD and CoachLisa Ferrari.

Seaford cheerleaders qualifyfor national competition

For the second time in Seaford HighSchool history, the varsity cheerlead-ing squad has qualified to compete forthe National High SchoolCheerleading Championship(NHSCC) this winter.

The competition, considered the mostprestigious cheerleading championshipin the country, will be held at WaltDisney World® Resort in Orlando,Florida, February 9-10. It will be tele-vised on ESPN and ESPN2 to over 100million homes around the world.

The squad qualified for the nationaltournament after competing in the smallvarsity coed, division II regionals on theUniversal Cheerleading Association(UCA) circuit in Toms River, NewJersey.

“The team really pulled together andput on a solid performance,” said CoachLisa Ferrari. “Stunting is the biggeststrength; they can do incredible thingsin the air.”

As the team stood in nervous knots justbefore the results were announced, UCAjudges acknowledged how hard hit LongIsland was by Hurricane Sandy, notinghow much was lost personally, including11 days of valuable practice time.
