GUILDERLAND CHILD, WILL HAVILAND, 9, GOES TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AS NEW YORK DELEGATE

FOR CHILDREN’S CONGRESS 2009Child Delegates to Testi fy at Congressional Hearing on Type 1 (Juvenile) Diabetes and Urge Legislators to “Promise to Remember Me”

East Greenbush, NY (Jan. 26, 2009) –Will Haviland, age 9, is one of 150 children throughout the U.S. selected to represent his state on Capitol Hill this summer to remind Congress and the Administrati on of the criti cal need to fi nd a cure for a disease they live with every day— type 1 (juvenile) diabetes. These children—ages 4 to 17, representi ng all 50 states and the District of Columbia and all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—will converge on Washington, D.C., to tell their stories and urge lawmakers to help fi nd a cure during the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundati on’s Children’s Congress 2009, from June 22 to 24, 2009. Will, a student at The Doane Stuart School who lives in Guilderland, has been named a delegate representi ng New York State in the Children’s Congress. JDRF is the world’s largest charitable funder of type 1 diabetes research.

Led by JDRF Internati onal Chairman Mary Tyler Moore, JDRF’s Children’s Congress 2009 will include Congressional visits by the child delegates and a Congressional hearing where Ms. Moore, select delegates, researchers, and business and community leaders will testi fy on the need for conti nued funding for research on diabetes and related complicati ons. Ms. Moore and the child delegates, under the theme of “Promise to Remember Me,” will ask Members of Congress to support an increase in federal funding for diabetes research.

“The day that you or your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is a day you will never forget,” said Ms. Moore, who has had type 1 diabetes for almost 40 years. “Members of Congress will now have the chance to give these children and their parents another day they will never forget. Instead, this ti me will be a day of hope instead of a day of fear”.

Will, who was selected to Children’s Congress through JDRF’s Northeastern New York Chapter, in East Greenbush, was diagnosed with diabetes when he was four years old. The day-to-day fi ght to stay alive is a struggle for him and his family.

When asked about his parti cipati on in the 2009 Children’s Congress, Will said, “I remember when I didn’t have diabetes, but now I have to wear an insulin pump 24/7. I hope that someday I won’t have to wear my pump anymore. I can’t wait to explain to Congress what it is like to live with type 1 diabetes and why it is so important to me and other people with this disease for the government to spend money on research to fi nd a cure.”

Cynthia Ford, of Grosse Point Farms, Michigan is Chair of Children’s Congress 2009. Ms. Ford, her husband Edsel and son Albert, who has type 1 diabetes, serve as the designated Chair Family.

“Our enti re family understands what a vital role this event plays in the furthering of our mission to cure diabetes. We are honored and excited to be leading such an extraordinary group of delegates who truly will have all the Washington leaders knowing they need to 'Promise to Remember' all of us who crave a true cure for diabetes and its complicati ons."

Over 1,500 children from all 50 states between the ages of 4 and 17 applied to take part in Children’s Congress 2009. Children were selected by committ ee based on the need for focus in their Congressional district and in a way that divided the group evenly by ages. “Choosing the 150 delegates from the pool of over 1,500 applicants this Children’s Congress was a diffi cult process and a challenge,” said Ford. “Truly, all 1,500 who applied would have served this role well.”

Children’s Congress has been held every other year since 1999; it has become the largest media and grassroots event held in support of fi nding a cure for type 1 diabetes. For this once-in-a-lifeti me experience, the newly-selected delegates will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors in raising nati onal awareness about type 1 diabetes and parti cipati ng in personal advocacy at the highest levels of the United States government. In type 1 diabetes – the most serious and complicated form of the disease that accounts for some $174 billion in annual health care costs in the U.S. alone – a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that enables people to get energy from food. To survive, people with type 1 diabetes must test their blood sugar levels up to four or more ti mes a day by pricking their fi ngers to draw blood, and then administering insulin through multi ple, daily injecti ons, or the use of a conti nuous infusion insulin pump. While trying to balance insulin with the amount of food eaten (which raises blood sugar) and exercise (which lowers blood sugar), people with type 1 diabetes must constantly be prepared for potenti al life-threatening hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemic (high blood sugar) reacti ons. The long-term complicati ons of diabetes include blindness, heart att ack, kidney failure, stroke, nerve damage and amputati ons. While usually diagnosed in childhood, type 1 diabetes can also be diagnosed in adults.

About JDRFJDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for type 1 diabetes in the world. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to fi nd a cure for diabetes and its complicati ons through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Unti l a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injecti ons multi ple ti mes or use a pump – each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastati ng complicati ons, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputati on.

Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. In FY2008, the Foundati on funded more than 1,000 centers, grants in laboratories, hospitals, and industry, and fellowships in 22 countries.

Q A With Rit CasciniColdwell Banker Prime Properti es

Q. What year did your business start?A. I began selling real estate in 1978 when the average price of a home was in the $40,000 range.

Q. How and why did you get into the business?A. When I started in real estate, I was teaching Social Studies at Guilderland High School. Teaching salaries in the 1970’s and 1980’s were somewhat low so I needed to earn additional income. I felt that working nights, weekends and during the summer would be benefi cial. I retired from teaching in 2002 and now work full time in the real estate industry.

Q. What advice would you give people looking to buy a home now?A. Choose an experienced realtor who is knowledgeable, has integrity and has the skills to help you fi nd the best value in a home. Also, buyers should have a number of inspections on the house (structural, termite, radon,). Finally, shop around for the best mortgage rate and terms.

Q. What advice would you give people looking to sell their home now?A. Sellers should price the house just above market value. Sellers will net more money for their home by not overpricing it. Also when selling your home the condition of the property will help dictate selling price. Be sure that your home shows well and that there is easy access to the property.

Q. What do you love most about the business?A. The real estate business allows you to work with a variety of personalities, wants and needs. I thoroughly enjoy working with people and either fi nding a home that they love or selling their house so that they can relocate.

Q. What do you think is your biggest challenge with the business?A. The biggest challenge today is educating buyers and sellers with the current market conditions. Some sellers are unrealistic with what they think their house is worth while some purchasers believe that they can get basement bargains in this area.

Q. What do you want the community to know about you?A. I want the community to know that I work for Coldwell Banker Prime Properties which is one of the leading real estate companies in the area. I have lived in Guilderland for the past 29 years. And I am experienced, have knowledge of the market, have integrity and I am willing to work extremely hard to get the job done. If you are buying or selling a home I would like to interview for the job. Thanks, Rit Cascini. I can be contacted at 640-4703 or [email protected]

Capital Northeast Martial Arts Greater academic achievement

Unshakable self respect Increased strength and fitness,

in both mind and body

And all of it comes while learning how to “kick, block, and punch”. Your child’s first and biggest challenge comes not from the

neighborhood bully, but their own fears and doubts.

How do you get your child to fight these fears and doubt when they won’t even tell you they have them.

We can help you NOW.

Martial Arts are not about fighting others, but more about fighting them-

selves. We will help your child conquer their fears by filling them with confi-dence in themselves. By using the discipline learned in the Martial Arts, your

child will transfer that to the rest of their life.

Courage Stamina

Powerful Self Control Improved Focus Self Confidence

Westmere Plaza, 1811 Western Ave., Guilderland, NY 12203 518-452-3065 Visit us on the web at www.capitalnemartialarts.com

If you would like to see your child embody these characteristics,

call for our special introductory offer.

Status ReportFull Day Kindergarten ConversionUpdated January 22. 2009

The Early Childhood Advisory Committ ee reconvened on January 14 to review the status of the proposal made to convert to full-day K beginning in 2009-2010. In light of current economic concerns, including a projected 2.7 million dollar reducti on in state aid revenue, the members of the committ ee agreed with district administrati on that inclusion of this proposal in the 2009-2010 superintendent’s budget would not be prudent at this ti me. The Guilderland Central School District remains committ ed to conversion to a full-day kindergarten model at a ti me when economic conditi ons are more suitable. The recommendati ons made by the Early Childhood Advisory Committ ee remain as a foundati on upon which we can conti nue to strengthen program and support the development of our youngest learners. We thank all members of this committ ee for their dedicati on and hard work.
