Editor’s Spot
I just want to say that I
received many kudos
from members for bringing the newsletter online.
The compliments go
above and beyond. Again
I want to thank everyone
that helped out in bringing the newsletter into the
21st century. I hope all is
well this month. This editorial will be a bit
different. I'm going to touch on several topics. First, remember that this April 14th
marks the death of Police Officer Phillip Cardillo. He was executed in a Harlem Mosque
in 1972. God bless Phil. Please watch over
your brothers and sisters during their tour of
duty. Secondly, Memorial Day is next month.
During this holiday, I encourage all to take a
moment and think about the sacrifices that
our men and women in our military make to
keep our home front safe. If you get a
chance, take a trip to D.C. and walk around
our capital and tap into tons of history. Lastly, I want to extend a personal thank you to
each and everyone on the board for the hours
they dedicated to running an event. This includes the hours put in behind the scene, the
phone calls made, the running around, the
time that should be spent with your family—
just so that the function will be perfect.
THANK YOU!

Hello again my fellow Columbia
Paisanos. Membership drive in
Brooklyn is going well. I could
use some help in Brooklyn South.
I would like to thank the 84 and
Brooklyn North Narcotics for
their hard work, they are fighting
neck and neck for first place. I
must not forget third place, it goes
out to the 73 Pct. Not too far behind the leaders. We currently
have some delegate spots open
and are looking for interested Paisanos to join us. Please contact
myself or one of my Trustees if your command has no delegate
and you are interested. Without you, the membership, there would
be no Columbia Association. I thank you all and hope to see you at
one of our events or the next meeting. (Mr. Italy) Queens
Matthew Cioffi
Rome was not built in a day and
neither was the NYPD Columbia
Association. The brick and mortar
of our association is our members.
Strengthen its foundation by encouraging others to join and partake in all that we have to offer.
The membership is doing great! We
need members to support all of our
functions so please look up the next
racket and come out and enjoy the
fun.
Life Member
Phil Repaci Sr.
As of Jan, 01, 2011, there are 1100
life members.
Recently I went to a memorial mass
for two police officers that were
killed in LOD in the 79Pct. in 1978.
The officers were Norman Cerullo &
Chris Masone. The mass was held at
the Immaculate Conception Center
in Douglaston Queens. The attendance by the retired P.O.'s was outstanding after all these years. There
were more retirees than active P.O.'s. Like our Life members these
fellow retirees had dedication to their fellow P.O.'s and their command. We would like to thank life members Donald Glaudino, Alfred Murphy, Alfred Marino for their donations to the scholarship
fund.

has always been there for us. Our Italian Heritage award goes to actress Jennifer Esposito who currently stars in the TV drama “Blue Bloods”.

Eating Nuts Daily Lowers Cholesterol
Daily Helping of Nuts May Help Fight Heart Disease,
New Study Finds

May 10, 2010 -- Eating nuts on a daily basis improves blood cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, a
new study says.
Joan Sabaté, MD, Dr PH, and colleagues from Loma Linda University in California, pooled data from 25 studies on nut consumption
5 Steps to a Healthier Life
We are all aware life in Law Enforcement is stressful, now more
than ever, as is life in New York. Many resources are available to
you through your department Police Surgeons, Honorary Police
Surgeons or personal Physicians. Take advantage of them. Consider these steps towards a healthier life.
1.)
Be Tobacco Smoke Free
Smoking puts you at increased risk for heart disease,
cancer, and stroke. Quitting greatly decreases your risk
of these conditions.

Patients in the trials ate an average of 67 grams, or about 2.4
ounces, of nuts daily.

Screen for Early Cancer Detection and Prevention
Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen. Have
skin lesions and moles checked by a physician. Skin
cancers of the melanoma type can be deadly if left untreated.
Cervical cancers are prevented and screened for with
Pap Smears. Screening is done every 3 years starting at
age 21 (or within 3 years of beginning sexual activity).
Prostatic Specific Antigen or PSA is a simple blood test
that is done as a screen for prostate cancer which should
start at age 40.
For all these conditions, the earlier the detection, the
better the outcome, including complete cure.

Nuts evaluated included almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios,

Even second-hand smoke can put you, as well as, your
family at risk. Children whose parents smoke are twice
as likely to smoke. In children exposed to second-hand
smoke, they are at increased risk of developing ear infections, asthma, and bronchitis.
Have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked.
Your work is stressful enough but if your blood pressure

among people with initially elevated triglyceride readings. The
cholesterol effects of nut consumption were similar in men and
women, and were dose related.
Different types of nuts had similar effects on blood cholesterol
levels, according to the authors. However, “effects of nut consumption were significantly modified by LDL, body mass index, and diet
type: the lipid-lowering effects of nut consumption were greatest
among subjects with high baseline LDL and with low body mass
index and among those consuming Western diets.”
The findings support the inclusion of nuts in therapeutic dietary
interventions for improving cholesterol levels, the authors say.
“Increasing consumption of nuts as part of an otherwise prudent
diet can be expected to favorably affect blood lipid levels (at least
in the short term), and have the potential to lower coronary heart
disease risk,” the authors write.
Eat less fat, salt and sugar. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Make healthier choices, avoid empty calories like
soda or sweetened beverages and drink water instead.

Laurentiis
I know this might be a week late for your
Easter tables but it’s so much of a
favorite desert of mine, that I want you
to try it for next year.
EASTER PIE
Ingredients
South-Fin-Grill nestled right on
300 Father Copodanno Blvd. in Staten
Island. My wife and I had the pleasure of
having dinner there with some relatives
several weeks back and the only thing I
can say is “Wow!” I was very impressed
with everything from the service to the
food; especially “The Mansion” and I
don't mean Gracie Mansion! I mean a
meal fit for a king—a 1 lb. lobster, 5
jumbo shrimp, 8 oysters, 3 little neck
clams, 3 top necks and 3 Jonah crab
claws topped with ceviche! I need not
say more but you can imagine I brought
a doggie bag home that night! There
was no way a skinny guy like me was
going to put away that amount of food!
Let me read off parts of the menu: “
The Palace” 2-1 Lb lobsters, 8 jumbo
shrimps, 16 oysters, 4 little necks, 4 top
necks, 6 Jonah crab claws, with ceviche;
delicious sushi; cold plates and salads;
even a 24 oz. Porterhouse steak with
buttermilk whipped potatoes—
mouthwatering! So, if your in Staten Island bring the wife or husband, significant other and enjoy the food and the
view in a comfortable atmosphere!
 3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for
garnish
 3 large eggs
 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
 1 tablespoon orange zest
 1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta
cheese
 1/2 cup cooked short-grained rice
 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
 6 sheets fresh phyllo sheets or frozen,
thawed
3/4 stick (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Blend 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange zest and ricotta in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the rice and pine
nuts. Set the ricotta mixture aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly butter a 9-inch glass pie dish. Lay 1
phyllo sheet over the bottom and up the sides
of the dish, allowing the phyllo to hang over
the sides. Brush the phyllo with the melted
butter. Top with a second sheet of phyllo
dough, laying it in the opposite direction as
the first phyllo sheet. Continue layering the
remaining sheets of phyllo sheets, alternating
after each layer and buttering each sheet.
Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dish. Fold
the overhanging phyllo dough over the top of
the filling to enclose it completely. Brush
completely with melted butter.
Bake the pie until the phyllo is golden brown
and the filling is set, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool completely. Sift
powdered sugar over the pie and serve.
Wow
