Andy Grammer’s new album turns aff liction into positivity

BY ANTHONY MURRAY AMURRAY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ver since he was a kid, Andy Grammer was always surrounded by the sweet sounds of music in his household. Grammer’s father was a singer while his mother wrote plenty of songs, which in the end inspired him to pursue music on his own. Grammer made the trek to Los Angeles and ended up at the popular Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica as a street performer. But now, Grammer has gone from singing in the streets to catapulting into the center of the music industry, launching an impressive career. Grammer’s fourth studio album, Naïve, was released this past summer and he is now heading out on a two month long tour across the country.

“Every album is really fun, but for whatever reason, also hard to close,” Grammer said. “It’s hard to get the actual magic that’s necessary to spread it where you want it to spread. I mean, at heart I was trying to make an album that was for people who are optimistic. I’ve been saying it’s a lot like the light bringer situation. It’s people who see the good in everything. And when you are one of those people, sometimes the world looks at you like you’re stupid. So I love the title of Naïve, which basically sounds like a revolutionary statement of like ‘I don’t care if you think I’m stupid. I’m still going to see the good in this world.’” Grammer’s latest single off Naïve “Don’t Give Up On Me,” is steadily climbing the charts and is featured in the film Five Feet Apart, which tells the story of a young couple who are

battling cystic fibrosis. “That was after a day of writing a lot of songs,” Grammer said about how “Don’t Give Up On Me” was written. “I was really starting to feel the pressure that I didn’t have a single yet to start with this album and I knew the record was so good, and that I needed one. So when I went in to write, I had a little bit of the extra pressure. We wrote a song and it was OK, but we scrapped it and we wrote another one and another one. After four songs, I was like ‘Man. We either go home or we keep trying,’ and I was like, ‘Let’s just write another song about not giving up.’ I’m glad that we kept pushing.” Another song on the album, “She’d Say,” is about Grammer’s mother, and is definitely a personal one for him and his 2-year-old daughter Louie. Grammer lost his mother when he

was only 25 years old. “My wife got me a phone call with a medium and I was slightly skeptical, but I took it and on the call the medium said, ‘Your mom is telling me that she wants you to write a song to your daughter about everything she can’t be there to say to her.’ It was so crazy, but it was such an amazing idea,” Grammer explained. “So I went and wrote the song and then, we got LadySmith Black Mambazo, which is the group that was on the Paul Simon Graceland album and they lent their voice to it and it makes it feel otherworldly, which is cool.” Once in the studio with South African-based male choir LadySmith Black Mambazo, Grammer blew up a photo of his mother who was actually a fan of Simon’s Graceland album,

ANDY GRAMMER from page 3A put it up in the studio and explained himself to the choir who then huddled together and started to sing “I miss my mom” in Zulu—one of the official languages of South Africa. Out of the 13 songs that are featured on Naïve, the song “Wish You Pain,” a definite standout on the album, has Grammer singing about how people grow from life’s daily pain—a lesson these days most can learn from. “You know, I think there’s a lot of conversation to be had about how we view pain in our lives,” said Grammer. “If you think that pain is just terrible and it’s not going to give you anything, then your life can be kind of miserable. It would kind of be like going to the gym without having any idea what it is doing for you. It can be a horrible time, but when you go to the gym and you know what it does for you, then people go willingly and they have a great workout. ‘Wish You Pain’ is kind of saying that, for the rest of your life, this is how we grow. It’s not just the gym. It’s the divorce you just had. It’s like losing your job or having an injury. They all give you something if you can see it in that way. It’s been really sweet to have that conversation with a lot of fans through the music.”

headed to New York City on Saturday, Sept. 28, to The Rooftop at Pier 17. “This tour is so incredible,” Grammer said. “We just played in Los Angeles at The Wiltern and I’m still reeling over it. They can expect just a lot of heart, an unusual amount of heart. I think that a concert is a special place to feel things that you don’t normally feel in your life. We like to take you somewhere else where you’re not normally at in your daily life. We will just try to blast you with reckless optimism and try to give you a break a little bit from life.” A unique part of Grammer’s concert this time around is his new Random Acts Of Songness segment, which streams live on his Facebook page. “Going back to the topic of pain, I usually share something in my life that was really painful and what I got from it,” explained Grammer. “I think the other night I shared about how losing my mother when I was 25 really gave me empathy that I didn’t have, for the pain that people were going through. My life was pretty easy up until that point, but when she passed away, I was like ‘Oh my God. I can’t believe people are feeling this amount of sadness.’ So basically after I share, then I ask someone from the audience to come on stage and share one of

their biggest pains and what they took from it, and then we write a song right on the spot—both me and this spoken word artist that I’m bringing on tour named Sean Hill. Usually by the end of it, we get the whole crowd to sing the hook that we made up around their story and it’s been crazy. It’s super powerful.” As can easily be predicted, Grammer’s favorite song to currently perform live is “Don’t Give Up On Me” since it’s the most timely. “When you play a song live, it has specific time periods of how it’s going to hit you,” Grammer said. “So playing ‘Keep Your Head Up,’ when that song was really big, it was a special feeling. Now, it’s a totally different sweet feeling. It’s like when you hear ‘Keep Your Head Up’ in your head. It’s like sweet nostalgia. There’s like a limited time. ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ right now is really special.” Grammer is also the creator and host of The Good Parts, a podcast series that digs into the philosophies, failures and spiritual experiences that make up the lives of each of Grammer’s guests. “I love to go deeper with questions, which is my favorite thing in life, to go to dinner with friends and have a really crazy topic and pass it around for everyone to take and answer,” Grammer said. “So I like to ask all my friends that I meet out on tour and award shows and stuff, ‘What do you think happens when you die?’ or ‘What’s the most spiritual experience you’ve ever had?’ I like to take it to the edge of ourselves. I’ve talked to Mike Posner and Leslie Odom Jr. from Hamilton, who are people that I respect. I like to ask those deeper questions.” So what does the rest of the year look for Grammer? “Right now, we just started the tour so my head is all wrapped up in that and it’s a two month tour,” Grammer said. “So a big chunk of this year right now is having just the most incredible interactions that I get to have on stage every night with all these people that are coming. I wrote this album for the optimists, so to be surrounded by thousands of them on a daily basis is pretty incredible.” Catch Andy Grammer on his Don’t Give Up On Me Tour on Saturday, Sept. 28, at The Rooftop at Pier 17 at 7 p.m. For more informaiton and to get tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com.

TRAVEL

Benvingut a Barcelona BY JENNIFER FAUCI

A regal beauty in Catedral de Barcelona

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

(Photos by Jennifer Fauci)

o you have decided to book a trip to beautiful Barcelona. Although Madrid is the capital city, Barcelona is the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, famed for its unique architecture. With so much to do in this walkable city, Barcelona’s history, culture, art and cuisine are at your fingertips, if you know where to begin your tour.

La Rambla

The most famous street in central Barcelona, tree-lined La Rambla is perfect for shopping, sightseeing or taking some time out for coffee and tapas at a local café. The street is dotted with kiosks that sell food, drinks, art, souvenirs and items such as newspapers and postcards. Veering off La Rambla, you will find many of renowned architect Antoni Gaudí’s works that make Barcelona so unique, including the church Sagrada Família.

Plaça Reial

Close to La Rambla, this public square in the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona is a popular local and tourist attraction. On the plaza are a large number of restaurants and some of the city’s most famous nightclubs.

St. Josep La Boqueria

Rambla, 91 boqueria.barcelona Packed with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and other local foods, La Boquería is one of the largest and freshest public markets in Barcelona. Visit the website to see a map of the vendor stalls and what they sell, but be sure to get there early, as crowds are quite large around noon. Barcelona’s crown jewel, Iberico ham awaits you, as well as fresh cheeses, candied fruit, refreshing fruit juices, empanadas, croissants, pasteles, cookies and tortas and other high-quality market goods.

Palau de la Música Catalana

palaumusica.cat This stunning concert hall was built by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral society founded in 1891. A richly decorated façade includes traditional Spanish and Arabic architecture, blended with red brick and iron, tile mosaics

Hot chocolate and baked goods abound in the city.

Plaça Reial and stained glass. The most visually stunning element is inside the concert hall where visitors can see a rainbow of natural light courtesy of a massive stained glass skylight.

Catedral de Barcelona

catedralbcn.org Also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Barcelona Cathedral is an effortless beauty constructed from the 13th to 15th centuries. A prime example of Gothic architecture, the

roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Eulalia, the co-patron saint of Barcelona, whose body is entombed in the cathedral’s crypt.

Museu Picasso

museupicasso.bcn.cat Another famous man in Barcelona was Pablo Ruiz Picasso, a Spanish artist whose love affair with Barcelona

lasted until his death in 1973. The museum houses 4,249 of Picasso’s paintings and drawings that make up this impressive collection from his most famous to his lesser known, but equally brilliant works.

Barceloneta Beach

As the most distinguished and wellknown beach in the city, this seaside oasis is located in the fishing quarter of the same name, Barceloneta. It is thought to have inspired Miguel de Cervantes as the setting for the fight between Don Quixote and the Knight of the White Moon.

MUSIC

Many Voices Make For Light Work T BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

here is something to be said for not rushing creativity. With 1,000 Hands: Chapter One, Jon Anderson has taken that concept to another level, given the fact that the six of the 11 tracks date back to sessions started at a studio in Big Bear, CA, back in 1990. The tracks for what became Anderson’s 15th album were originally started as a collaboration with Brian Chatton, a longtime friend who was also a keyboardist in the vocalist’s first pre-Yes band, the Warriors. When this project was initially being worked on, Anderson was still in Yes, which was preparing to embark on a tour. The tapes ended up languishing on a shelf in the frontman’s garage until producer Michael Franklin reached out in 2016 to inquire about finishing this collection of songs. “When Michael called and said he’d love to finish the album, he asked if we could get together at his studio in Orlando,” Anderson recalled. “We had to make eight big boxes of tapes and put them into the computer after that. They only play once, because after that, they’ll shred. It was a tricky thing to do, but as luck would have it, we had six really beautiful songs that came out great. All I said to Michael was that it was originally to be called Uzlot, which means ‘a lot of us’ and the idea was to get as many musicians together as you could to perform. I was thinking half a dozen. Anyway, 20-some musicians later, it just kept adding up.” The collaborators on 1,000 Hands truly came out to what seemed like a musical cast of thousands. Among the contributors are storied sidemen (Carmine Appice, Stuart Hamm), ex-Mahavishnu Orchestra members (Billy Cobham, Jerry Goodman, JohnLuc Ponty), jazz royalty (the late Larry Coryell, Chick Corea), six-string axe slingers (Rick Derringer, Steve Morse, Pat Travers) and Yes bandmates (the late Chris Squire, Alan White, Steve

Howe). Also lending their talents are Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, vocal group Zap Mama, the Tower of Power horn section and actor/human sound effects machine Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame. The result is a cavalcade of styles ranging from the polyrhythmic wonder of “WDMCF” and frothy Caribbean lilt of “First Born Leaders” to the stacked harmonies that define “Ramalama” and the bouncy, horn-soaked pop of “Makes Me Happy.” Not surprisingly, all this creative energy inspired the album’s name. “That’s where the title 1,000 Hands comes from, all of the brilliant musicians who played a part in making the record,” Anderson explained. “Michael acted like something of a casting director, bringing so many great players. It was really exciting to hear the record open up and become what I always envisioned.” While Anderson hasn’t sung with Yes for nearly a decade, save for the group’s 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, the links remain deep with his old band. So much so that while the contributions by White and Squire date back to 1990, Howe’s inclusion was as recent as January of this year. “We had this idea for a song called ‘Now,’ which was about three verses. To me, it was too much to begin with. So I decided to have one verse in the beginning, one in the middle and one at the end of the album,” Anderson said. “At the end of the album, there was this one piece of music and I think Michael said we should get Steve to play on it. And while I hadn’t really been in touch with him for a few years, I just emailed Steve and asked if he’d be

interested to play on this piece and he said yes. He sent over such great guitar work that I couldn’t help but sing on it.” Given the amount of touring Anderson has done over the past five decades, he’s still enamored of life on the road. He promises concert-goers will get to experience that connection that’s made Yes fans one of the more loyal followings in rock and roll. “People can expect a celebration of what I am. I’ll do some Olias [of Sunhillow] songs. Some Yes, of course, the new album and a couple of surprises along the way. I have full control of what I’m going to do,” he said. “Yes fans are everywhere, no matter where you go. That’s what I found out when I do my solo shows. I’d rather have 200 or 300 people know who I am rather than

1,000 people wonder if I’m any good. I connect with them because they understand who I am and what I do.” As someone whose musical thirst has found him collaborating with artists ranging from New Age masters like Kitaro and Vangelis to Slovak visual artist Peter Machajdik and Swedish guitarist/songwriter Roine Stolt, Anderson is eager to continue down his unorthodox musical path with help from Franklin. “I’ve been going back and exploring Bulgarian singers. I talked to Michael Franklin about doing some chorale work and how it would be great to get some choirs to join in an ensemble fashion. We could get them to come in and do that kind of harmonic thing rather than just come in and sing. We could do something special with a chorale and expand the idea over the next couple of years and that would be the next chapter,” he said. “I jokingly say, the best music is yet to come. I think I’ve made some great music over the past 10 years. To continue doing that is to fulfill an agreement I made with myself to do just that.”

Book Roundup: Liberals Confront A Fallen World BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

he election of Donald Trump has inspired a small library of books, many of them written in a state of anger. Adam Gopnik’s A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism is written in the form of a letter to the author’s teenage daughter, as both parent and child were bewildered by the 2016 election. This book is mostly a pep talk to liberals, reminding them of their many victories and the moral rightness of their cause. Since liberalism, in the post-1945 world, has swept the boards (civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights), the reader, at times, begins to wonder the purpose of the book. The author has his contradictions. He notes that liberalism is “planetary” with the breed always feeling at home in the world. Then he admonishes liberals to know the importance of place to potential voters. He also claims that a liberalism that “doesn’t offer hope to Ecuadorian peasants and Haitian sweatshop workers and Congolese children caught in cobalt mines as much as it does Manhattan progressive families is hardly worth defending.” So what course should liberals take? An emphasis on a particular

Alas, his overbearing style made that impossible. Barack Obama, for instance, wanted nothing to do with Holbrooke, then in the employ of Hillary Clinton’s State Department. In Our Man: Richard Holbrooke And The End of the American Century, George Packer hails Holbrooke as “representing what was the best about us:” an action figure who believed that America could extend a benevolent hegemony over a fallen world. Packer has great admiration for the man, even while acknowledging his subject’s failed marriages and dubious attempts as a ladies’ man. A problem with the book is the subtitle. The demise of American hegemony can hardly be pinned on Holbrooke, a bureaucrat with a talent for publicity. A detailed history of the Iraq War and the administration of George W. Bush would be closer to the mark. Outside of the Balkan civil wars, Holbrooke never had much influence over American foreign policy.

Keeping The Legacy Alive

Brother of the late Luis Alvarez keeps family memory alive with 9/11 victim compensation fund

etective Phil Alvarez, the older brother of the late Luis “Lou” Alvarez, joins Turley Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, a Long Island-based law firm specializing in 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund claims, in the role of 9/11 Outreach and Education Director. In this role, Phil will be extending his brother’s legacy by working with the 9/11 community to ensure that the health and safety of first responders, survivors and their families are attended to. Lou Alvarez, a retired NYPD bomb squad detective, became the face of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) bill after delivering passionate testimony to a congressional subcommittee the day before his 69th chemotherapy treatment. Although Lou passed away on June 29 from a 9/11-related cancer, one month before the Senate passed the bill, his presence and testimony helped ensure that the VCF will remain funded until 2090. “I am honored to join an organization devoted to an important cause, one that my brother fought

for in his final months” Phil Alvarez said. “The VCF’s permanent funding will help usher in the next chapter, and I will proceed with helping out those currently contending with, and those who,

unfortunately, may become diagnosed with a 9/11-related illness.” Prior to joining Turley Hansen & Rosasco, LLP, Phil Alvarez worked for the Suffolk County Police Department as a detective, retiring in his 32nd year of service.

New Law Establishes ‘Day Of Remembrance’ BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

ew York State Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation establishing September 11th Remembrance Day. It was effective immediately on signing, which took place Sept. 9, and was operative for the anniversary two days later. The law calls for a moment of silence in state public schools at the beginning of the school day every Sept. 11 “to encourage dialogue and education in the classroom, and to ensure future generations have an understanding of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks and their place in history,” according to a release. Cuomo observed, “9/11 was one of the single darkest

By establishing this annual day of remembrance and a

brief moment of silence in public schools, we will help ensure we never forget—not just the pain of that moment but of the courage, sacrifice and outpouring of love that defined our response.” Sponsor Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. (D-Ozone Park) said, “I am hopeful this law will

mean that the significance of the tragic events of September 11th, whether it be the loss of loved ones or the largest rescue operation our nation ever seen, will be forever acknowledged by school students too young to have witnessed this life-changing day.” “Students graduating from

high school as part of the Class of 2019 were just newborns during the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001, and soon enough there will be no students in the national public school system born at the time of 9/11,” Assemb. Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway Beach) said. “By mandating a brief moment of silent reflection every year, we may ensure that future generations will better understand this day and its significance in our history.” “We want young people today to remember 9/11 and that is why we passed the law....so students understand, remember and learn the lesson of our history and 9/11, and what we did, who we are and what we faced,” said Cuomo at the seventh annual 9/11 Motorcycle Ride in New York City, where he signed a number of 9/11-related bills.

Ritz-Carlton Cuts Ribbon On E

BY MIKE ADAMS

madams@antonmediagroup.com

rmed with a three-footlong pair of giant gray safety scissors, North Hills Mayor Marvin Natiss cut the final ribbon on RXR Realty’s luxury condominium complex RitzCarlton Residences, North Hills at a ceremony on Monday, Sept. 9. After years of building and anticipation, the series of swank apartments that were first announced more than a decade ago are now fully open for both business and pleasure, all frills attached. Before Natiss severed the red band, RXR Executive Vice President of Residential Development and Construction Joseph Graziose Sr. took time to look back on the challenges and doubts that accompanied the project for years. “People used to ask me and Scott Rechler ‘what are you thinking building a facility such as the Ritz-Carlton in between two highways’,” Graziose said.

“Well, I said to them ‘I think it’s a pretty good idea.’” Graziose further commended the workers who raised the apartments, as well as the countless hours put in by RXR’s employees and partners to bring every aspect of the project to its final stage. “We couldn’t do this without the help of a lot of people,” he said. “A lot of people that slave day in and day out, from the construction men and women, to the executives of our company, to the people in the health department and all the other government agencies that allow for things like this to happen. And we couldn’t do this without good partners.” Real estate giants Douglas Elliman have partnered with RXR to exclusively handle the sales of the newly-minted homes through the firm’s Development Marketing team. Members of the star brokerage outfit, including Development Marketing President and CEO Susan

DeFrança, top broker Maria Babaev and Chairman Howard M. Lorber, were on hand for the ceremony. “Douglas Elliman is very pleased to embark on this new relationship with RXR,” Lorber said. “We bring a diverse network of sales agents to these exciting projects. Long Island means a lot to me, so I love the project.” Construction of the residences was divided into two principal stages. The first, finished in May 2016, featured 124 units in the complex’s first two buildings, which were nearly all sold within a year. The final 120 units in phase two were finished this summer, about half of which are currently occupied, giving the complex a 75 percent occupancy rate at the time of the ribbon cutting. The now-completed Ritz-Carlton Residences, North Hills boasts 244 multimillion-dollar condominium-style housing units that range in size from 1,500 to 4,500 square feet, often including spacious outdoor balconies where residents can relax and take in the scenes around the

17-acre complex. That complex contains a plethora of amenities outside the apartments themselves, including 24-hour doorman services, a playground for children and a palatial 25,000 square-foot clubhouse building that features a theater-style screening room, a fitness center, a billiards room and even simulated indoor golf, among many others. The apartments themselves were designed by top-of-the-industry professionals and luxury firms like Ethan Allen and WHL Interiors, made move-in ready for residents whose eye for quality can’t be beat. Once the ribbon was snipped, attendees filed through to a poolside cocktail bar around the back of the main building, where they enjoyed catered food and beverages while a jazz band played soothing music in the background. The atmosphere evoked a hint of the luxurious Gold Coast celebrations of a century ago in nearby Great Neck, the kind of glamor one can always expect from the name Ritz-Carlton.

Racing For The FDNY New York-based NASCAR team dedicated to honoring fallen heroes BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

ew NASCAR teams are relaxed on a race weekend. The hours upon hours of preparing a racecar take a mental and physical toll on those working to succeed come race time. However, there is one group that shows up on occasion, aiming to have fun and does so for a cause. Jim Rosenblum, who had been fielding an entry in what was known as the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 1995, wanted to do something special to remember

the lives of those who perished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A New Yorker himself, Rosenblum has always been surrounded by first responders. He lives in Mamaroneck, a calm area in the midst of Westchester County. But in 2001, Jim Rosenblum Racing, which only ran a handful of races from 1996 to 2000, was renamed to FDNY Racing. FDNY Racing, to this day, consists of NYPD and FDNY

servicemen, heroes away from the track. Every few months, truck No. 28 shows up to the racetrack in the red and white colors of the FDNY fire trucks, quite the moving tribute for those in the busy life of motor sports. “Without Jim Rosenblum, I never would’ve gotten as many opportunities as I did in my career,” Ryan Ellis, who drove for FDNY Racing from 2014-16, said. “He took a chance on me when I was very new to the sport and together we

created some really good memories together. Some of the most fun times I ever had in the sport were with the FDNY racing crew and family. They’re one of a kind and just go to the track to have fun. I’m forever thankful for Jim and everyone involved.” In Feburary of 2016, Farmingdale’s Mark and Rosanne Knight were watching a Truck Series race, the first of the year at Daytona International Speedway.

This approach includes creativity, flexibility, diligence, perseverance, accountability, and responsibility. At every level, St. Mary’s balances strong academic development with experience to encourage personal growth. Exceptional faculty and staff inspire each student along their educational journey, always promoting the safe and welcoming culture that is one of the hallmarks of the St. Mary’s experience.

THE SCHOOLS OF SAINT MARY At the Schools of Saint Mary, Manhasset, students in Nursery through Grade 12 flourish in an innovative and nurturing educational environment rooted in Catholic values.

Campus Security: Preparing For A Safe School Year BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

hen it comes to college campuses, one pressing matter that is taken extremely seriously is safety. Statistics have shown that sexual and verbal consent and outside penetration in the form of an intruder or gunman are the most concerning issues that colleges face. Violence, property crimes, coercion, stalking and identity theft are also problems that students face as well as a breach in social media privacy. On the high school level, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) Commissioner Patrick Ryder as well as various members of the NCPD, recently discussed the importance of school safety for middle and high schools. “Our shared goal is to make sure that this school year is as safe as it can possibly be,” said Curran. “This isn’t something that we just start thinking about in August. It’s something that we focus on 12 months of the year.” All of the county’s school buildings have been assessed for security while personnel in each building have been trained by the NCPD in the chance there is an active shooter situation or other emergency. A valuable tool that all 56 school districts, along with private schools, have at their disposal is the RAVE app, which helps to reduce

response time in an active shooter detectors. situation. “We plan, we prepare, we train, we “Since 2000, 75 percent of school integrate technology like the RAVE shootings have happened within a pe- app, but we need to do more,” said riod of five minutes or less,” explained Ryder. “We always need to do more.” Curran. “The more you can reduce During the first day of school, sturesponse time, the more lives you save. dents, parents and faculty saw a large It’s an incredibly wonderful tool and amount of law enforcement in villages around Nassau County. we’re blessed to have it.

Ryder said that all officers are trained on it are required to wear or show ID and will have a secondary device in badges before entering the school when returning from lunch or coming their vehicles if needed. The second tool that the NCPD into class late as an extra measure added this year is a breaching tool, of security. Some schools have even gone as far as banning backpacks, only which stops the police from waiting on emergency services to get there. allowing drawstring and clear bags “If someone is trapped behind a that can be visible through security

wall, through glass or behind a door and the shooter is inside the building and we have an exterior door, we’ll breach that door,” said Ryder. “Every single car will have it. They can use it from entering the side gap of the door and popping it open or they can use it as sledge.” The same tools that the NCPD are now implementing will be offered to different village’s overtime. “Our villages and county have all trained in this new tool along with the tourniquet and other devices,” said Ryder. “We’re working together as a team. Forty two percent of all people who were involved in shootings from Parkland back to Columbine said that they saw something and knew something and did nothing. We need you to engage and get involved. We need you to speak to us and let us know that if you know someone that is a concern to you, let us do our job.” Colleges have also embraced a more focused approach on lockdowns in conjunction with technology, apps and security project features. But one thing remains: just as a student studies for a test in a class, so too should they visit their school’s common center and learn about what measures are being done to keep them safe for the next for years.

Sacred Heart Academy: The All-Girls Advantage by Kristin Lynch Graham, President of Sacred Heart Academy

Sacred Heart Academy is one of two all-girls Catholic high schools on Long Island. Prospective families are often instinctively attracted to an all-girls environment for their daughters’ high school education. The reasons for the attraction vary. Some mothers are beneficiaries of an all-girls education and want to offer the same experience to their daughters. Some families have seen the research and want to be sure to give their daughters an advantage. Others know the all-girls environment removes gender bias, distractions and pressures. Some families seek safety, others seek opportunity, and still others are just instinctively attracted to the idea of a single gender education. There are good reasons to be attracted to an all-girls education. Since 1949, Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) has been educating women leaders

in the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph. At SHA, we encourage our girls to find their voice, and use their voice to lead with heart. Over 11,000 alumnae use the values and skills they learned at SHA to be leaders in their families, communities, business organizations, and the Church. Our graduates consistently say that their education from Sacred Heart Academy gave them the skills they needed to succeed, as well as lifelong friendships that immeasurably enrich their lives. The satisfaction and success of our alumnae are not the only data points that support the value of an all-girls education. The National Coalition of Girls School (NCGS) commissioned a study titled Steeped in Learning: The Student Experience at All-Girls Schools which provides a comparative analysis of responses to the High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE). The study compares the responses of nearly 13,000 girls attending all girls schools, coed independent schools,

and coed public schools. The girls’ responses provide unequivocal support for the value of an all-girls educational environment, demonstrating that those attending all-girls schools are more likely to have an experience that supports their learning than are girls attending coed schools (independent and public). Sacred Heart students frequently cite many of the specific reasons offered in the study for why they are glad they chose SHA for their high school experience. Our students say they are challenged to achieve more at SHA. They are more engaged in the learning process. Their teachers expect them to participate in class, and the overall environment of respect makes them feel confident to share their views. They feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their ideas. They love wearing their uniform. Close to 800 talented young girls from across Long Island choose to attend Sacred Heart Academy because

they want more from their high school education. To meet those expectations, SHA has invested in the resources for contemporary education. SHA has state-of-the-art science labs and a science research program available to incoming freshmen. SHA is the only all-girls high school in the country with a Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab. These terminals allow our students to access government, economic and financial data, giving them the opportunity to practice skills in trade messaging, analytics and cost analysis, and providing them a venue to integrate theory with real-world practice. No matter what attracts you, there is evidence to support the value of an allgirls education. At Sacred Heart Academy, we believe that you won’t need research reports. Your daughter’s success and happiness will be all the evidence you need to support you made the right choice. 200564 S

Sacred Heart Academy Celebrates 70th Anniversary

acred Heart Academy will celebrate “70 Years of Taking the Lead” during the 2019-20 school year. Originally opened with 58 students as the Mary Louis Academy Annex in 1949, Sacred Heart Academy has continued to flourish with 858 students, including a freshman class of 223, enrolled during this anniversary year. Over 70 years, the Mission of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph to educate and empower young women has remained the same. The current students learn in interactive classroom spaces and state-of-the-art science research and business labs; they excel on the playing fields, consistently recognized among the top athletic teams on Long Island and in the nation, and they give back to the community with more than 10,000 hours of service each year. Sacred Heart boasts more than 11,000 strong and confident alumnae who are making a difference in their professions and communities. “When I came to Sacred Heart we were celebrating our 25th Jubilee,” said math and computer teacher Barbara Carroll, who has taught at SHA for 45 years. “I stayed because Sacred Heart is a special place and that has not changed. I

The New York Tech Student Doer, Maker, Innovator

New York Institute of Technology’s degree programs are consistently recognized for incredible value and outcomes. It is among the Best Regional Universities (North) ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Perhaps most impactful for families, it is No. 7 among private, not-for-profit institutions for the highest economic mobility rates for student income earnings after graduation, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. “New York Tech’s ‘doer/maker’ culture fosters invention and innovation, collaboration and entrepreneurship as necessary elements of a modern college education,” notes President Henry C. Foley, Ph.D. “Our students learn how to identify and solve challenges, as well as create opportunities that benefit humanity.” “It was always my dream to become a hacker,” says cybersecurity student Hiba Fatima. But rather than exploit information, she wants to “serve her nation and protect it.” To help realize that dream, the motivated student

beat out 40,000 applicants to earn a cyber future operations internship and scholarship from the Department of Defense. The university also offers commuter students the opportunity to mature and grow while remaining connected to their families and communities. As chief of cardiology at Mount Sinai Queens in Astoria (NY), Atul Kukar (D.O. ’00) is accustomed to saving lives. But when he joined the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, he was the one who needed support. “I got through medical school because of my friends and my family. I had everything I needed to be successful,” he says. Students can also take advantage of generous financial aid packages. Moises Lopez, an engineering scholarship student, has been “paying it forward” as a tutor for after-school community service programs in Harlem. “I was able to show my mentees how important electricity and its core concepts are in everyday life,” he said. “[My scholarship] guarantees many more experiences like these.” More than 100,000 New York Tech alumni can be found around the world designing award-winning skyscrapers and apps, and leading startups and large corporations. Alumnus Vincent Sadusky sits at the helm of Univision as CEO of the broadcast powerhouse, while Barbara Porter is CTO for $1 billionin-sales FragranceNet.com.

Back-To-School Planning For Returning Students

go to retirement, a child’s tuition, an older relative’s needs, consumer debt or financial emergencies. In other words, it’s an investment that really has to pay off. Also keep in mind that student debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. This is why it is important to seek qualified financial and tax advice before committing to spending savings or taking out student loans to return to school.

ould a mid- to late-career return to college make sense for you? It’s essential to evaluate whether this is a financially risky move. In recent years, older Americans have been heading back to school part-time and during evenings in greater numbers than students of typical college age. However, for people over 40, there are no similarly clear-cut rewards. That’s why it’s particularly important to do extensive due diligence before returning to college or any other training program. That’s doubly true if you can’t afford tuition out-of-pocket.

Here are considerations to make before making a mid- or late-career return to the classroom: A degree doesn’t mean a job

That may seem obvious given the recent hiring fortunes of younger, first-time college grads. However, even though some job indicators are looking up for older workers, it doesn’t mean past experience and a high-quality degree or certificate program will immediately lead to employment or better pay or for how long. Start with a thorough examination of working conditions and hiring forecasts in your chosen field. If it’s a complete career change, add face-to-face networking and observation of the job in action, if possible. Most of all, it’s important to know whether employers in

Find the most affordable training possible

that specific field really are interested in hiring older workers and have a record of doing so.

Determine how long you really plan to work No one really knows how long they’ll be able to work given health and other factors. Will you be able to recoup the cost of training based on the number of years you hope to work? Consider this before getting back to the books.

Fully evaluate your finances

As risky as student debt levels are now, spending money on school when you’re older is a much riskier proposition than when you’re young. Consider that late-life tuition is money that won’t

If a field is friendly to new workers your age, what will you have to invest in training to get the right job? Will it require a masters-level degree or a training certificate that makes you a specialist in a specific skill? Will some employers accept free or low-cost online courses being offered by known colleges and universities? The American Association of Community Colleges’ Plus 50 Initiative is a useful resource for lower-cost training options at community colleges throughout the country. Also check with your chosen industry’s leading trade associations to see what certificate training is most popular within the field and what it costs. Education is beneficial at any age, but mid- to late-career workers should evaluate their finances and thoroughly investigate degree programs before going back to school. —Anton Media Group

The College Experience

Anton intern reflects on her senior year at Hofstra BY COURTNEY SHAPIRO

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

hen it comes to talking about my college years, I probably could go on for hours. There are so many stories, so many memories and so many meaningful experiences, it is difficult to even know where to begin. However, as a first semester senior in 2019, college has truly been a whirlwind of an experience. I committed to Hofstra University in March of 2016. The university is close to the city, has that campus feel, is inclusive to all students and presents a great program for my current and future endeavors in journalism. My religion is a huge part of my life, so it was important to me that Hofstra had ways for me to express myself in that regard. I was excited to start on the journalism path and finally take classes that were useful to my career. No more long days of math and science. What was even better about starting at Hofstra, is that I did not have to wait until I was older to start exploring the skills and classes needed in my field. I started taking journalism classes my first semester of freshman year. It is a little funny because as a first semester senior, I’m not even taking any journalism classes. It is always interesting to reflect on how far I have come from that first semester three years ago, especially in terms of communication. Communication is clearly one of the key factors needed to fully adhere to the lifestyle of a journalist and not having a presence on social media is not really an option anymore. Social media was obviously popular in 2016, but it is even crazier how much more a phenomenon it has become in 2019. My assignments in class still relate to news or other things happening in our world, but I can get that news right at my fingertips. I even took a class on

how to be more proficient in social media. It included things like the best algorithms for posting content, which platform is best for certain things and how users really should be engaged with their audience. This class was added during my time in school and became more popular since the world of communication is constantly changing. It is super beneficial that Hofstra added classes to go along with what is happening in society and it helped me expand my knowledge as a journalist. Senior year is a whirlwind. While everyone thinks it might be something easy, more relaxed, or not as stressful, this is not the case. As a senior I am still taking 15 credits of academic classes, one credit of an internship, while also involving myself in four different clubs and organizations on campus. The more difficult part is, I finished the classes needed for my major, minor, and overall general education requirements. My last two semesters involve taking classes strictly for liberal arts credit. These classes

are not related to my career and at this point it is hard to be enthusiastic about random classes. Being a senior has its perks too. It was easy to create a schedule where I was able to intern and complete that requirement while also gaining more experience and learning more about the journalism world. I also have an easier time choosing professors and times for classes because I’ve been doing it for the past three years. Overall, I think being a senior now is different than it was previously. While there is still pressure to be successful right after college, I feel that the pressure has been minimized. People,

including myself, are taking the time to think about where they want their life to go next. It might be graduate school, it may be a job, it may be taking time off to save up money or deciding that now is the best time to travel. I think the important part is that the choice is all up to the individual at hand. Being a senior is scary because it means the real world that everyone has talked about for so long is looming nearer and nearer, but being in college during this time has helped me grow and experience life in a way that I would not have had, had I been on a different path.

Marketing Majors: How-To Attract Customers BY JACK MANDEL

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ustomers. They’re the lifeblood of every business because without customers, you have no business. The most important function of every business is to create and keep customers. It’s that simple and that difficult. It’s a common belief that most business failures are caused by a lack of capital. It’s also false. Practically all business failures are caused by a lack of customers. If you have enough customers, you can do almost everything else wrong and still make a profit. But if you don’t have enough customers, you can do everything else right and go broke. “The customer isn’t always right, but he’s always the one with the money.” In a solo business, it’s easy for us to think of ourselves as the business. Don’t believe it for a minute. The customers are the business, you are the service providers. Magnetic marketing isn’t smoke and mirrors, creative financing, or some funny-money pyramid scheme. It’s totally legal, honest, and ethical. To be a magnetic marketer all you need is the right mind-set, a little common sense, an understanding of why people buy, and the knowledge of a few simple techniques that anyone can apply to grow their business. Adopt the magnetic marketing mind-set, forget about your own view of the world. Put aside your ego, your prejudices, and your opinions and look at the world through your customers’ eyes. Who are your customers? What do they want? What is value to them, and how can you provide it? Answering those questions correctly is the master key to success in any business. If you have a mission statement for your business, you already have the answers. Making money becomes very easy when you have the answer to this question: What do my customers want most and how can I provide it? Find a need and fill it. Find a hurt and heal it. Find a problem and solve it. Find an itch and scratch it. Find a want and satisfy it.

Jack K. Mandel

Your first priority is to find our what your customers want most. Then focus on using your passions and strengths to satisfy those wants. When customers want what you’re selling, earning money becomes incredibly easy. You don’t have to spend a lot of time, money, and effort hyping what you sell. You just have to position yourself in the market so customers know who you are, what you offer, and how to reach you. The result is they come to you. Find out what’s bugging your customers and potential customers.

Where there is a perceived pain, there is a sense of urgency about solving the problem. And people pay handsomely for solutions to urgent problems. A person having a coronary doesn’t negotiate the price of medical care or say, “I want to think it over.” He wants the problem solved now and worries about the details later. That’s an extreme example, but it illustrates the point. A problem is the difference between what the customer has and what he wants. So ask the customer, “What do you have?” and “What do you want?” Or, to put it another way, “What is the situation now?” and “What would you like it to be?” That’s how you find the pain. Myth: If I do the best job, the customer will come. How I wish that were true. Just do the best work and you’ll get the gold star. It works in school. It works in sports. It sometimes works on the job. But in the marketplace, it rarely works.

Here’s the problem. In the marketplace there is no best work. There is only the perception of what is best. What you perceive as the best work, someone else may perceive as average, mediocre, or poor work. What one customer things is a great value is a waste of money to another. In the real world, there’s no such things as a good value or poor value; a good product or poor product; high quality or low quality. Only the customer’s perception makes it so. Successful marketing is a game played between your customers’ and potential customers’ ears. It’s not what you know but what they perceive that counts. When it comes to marketing, how you perceive your business is irrelevant. How customers perceive your business is everything. Professor Jack K. Mandel has taught marketing and small business at Nassau Community College since 1978

7 Things You Need Before You Fill Out The 2019–20 FAFSA Form BY NICOLE CALLAHAN

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

If you need financial aid to help you pay for college, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The 2019–20 FAFSA form will be available on Oct. 1, 2019. You should fill it out as soon as possible on the official government site, fafsa.gov. It’ll be easier to complete the FAFSA form if you gather what you need ahead of time. Below is what you’ll need to fill it out.

Your FSA ID*

A FSA ID is a username and password that you can use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Each student, and one parent of each dependent student, will need an FSA ID to complete the FAFSA process on fafsa.gov. Create your FSA ID early—even before you’re ready to complete the FAFSA form—to avoid delays in the process. IMPORTANT: Do not create an FSA ID on behalf of someone else. That means parents should not create FSA IDs for their children and vice versa. Doing so may result in issues signing and submitting the FAFSA form and could lead to financial aid delays. (Also, it’s against the rules to create a FSA ID for someone else.) To summarize: • Anyone who plans to fill out the 2019-20 FAFSA form should create a FSA ID as soon as possible. • If you are required to provide parent information on your FAFSA form, your parent should create an FSA ID too. • Because your FSA ID is equivalent to your signature, parents and students each need to create their own FSA IDs using their own, unique email address and phone number. Parents should not create an FSA ID for their child and vice versa. • In some situations, you may need to wait up to three days to use your FSA ID after creating it. If you want to avoid FAFSA delays, create your FSA ID now.

Your Social Security number*

You can find the number on your Social Security card. If you don’t have access to it, and don’t know where it is, ask your parent or legal guardian or get a new or replacement Social Security card from the Social Security Administration. If you are not a U.S. citizen, but meet Federal Student Aid’s basic eligibility requirements, you’ll also need your Alien Registration number.

3 4

Your driver’s license number

If you don’t have a driver’s license, then don’t worry about this step.

Your 2016 tax records*

In case you didn’t hear about the changes we made to the FAFSA process, beginning with the 2017–18 FAFSA form, we now require you to report income information from an earlier tax year. • On the 2019-20 FAFSA form, you (and your parents, as appropriate) will report your 2017 income information, rather than your 2018 income information. • Since you’ll already have filed your 2017 taxes by the time the FAFSA form launches, you’ll be able to import your tax information into the FAFSA form right away using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT). (No more logging back in to update after filing taxes.) • Not everyone is eligible to use the IRS DRT and the IRS DRT does not input all the financial information required on the FAFSA form. Therefore, you should have your 2017 tax return and 2017 IRS W-2 available.

The IRS DRT will return with the 2019–20 FAFSA form on Oct. 1, 2019. The IRS DRT remains the fastest, most accurate way to input your tax return information into the FAFSA form. To address security and privacy concerns related to the IRS DRT, the tax return information you transfer from the IRS will no longer be displayed on fafsa.gov or the IRS DRT web page. Instead, you’ll see “Transferred from the IRS” in the appropriate fields on fafsa.gov. • You cannot use your 2018 tax information. We understand that for some families, 2017 income doesn’t accurately reflect your current financial situation. If you have experienced a reduction in income since the 2017 tax year, you should complete the FAFSA form with the info it asks for (2017), and then contact each of the schools to which you’re applying to explain and document the change in income. They have the ability to assess your situation and make adjustments to your FAFSA form if warranted. • You cannot update your 2019–20 FAFSA form with your 2017 tax information after filing 2018 taxes. 2017 information is what’s required. No updates necessary; no updates allowed.

Records of your untaxed income*

The FAFSA questions about untaxed income may or may not apply to you, but they include things like child support received, interest income, and veterans noneducation benefits. On the 2019–20 FAFSA form, you’ll report 2017 tax or calendar year information when asked these questions. Find specific details for parents and students.

Records of your assets (money)*

This includes savings and checking account balances, as well as the value of investments such as stocks and bonds and real estate (except the home in which your family lives). You should report the current amounts as of the date you sign the FAFSA form, rather than the 2017 tax year amounts. NOTE: Misreporting the value of investments is a common FAFSA mistake. Carefully review what is and is not considered a student investment and parent investment to make sure you don’t over- or under-report. You may be surprised by what can (and cannot) be excluded.

List of the school(s) you are interested in attending

Be sure to add any college you’re considering, even if you haven’t applied or been accepted yet. • Even if there is only a slight chance you’ll apply to a college, list the school on your FAFSA form. You can always remove schools later if you decide not to apply, but if you wait to add a school, you could miss out on first-come, first-served financial aid. • The schools you list on your FAFSA form will automatically receive your FAFSA results electronically. They will use your FAFSA information to determine the types and amounts of financial aid you may receive. • If you add a school to your FAFSA form and later decide not to apply for admission to that school, that’s OK! The school likely won’t offer you aid until you’ve been accepted anyway. • You can list up to 10 schools on your FAFSA form at a time.

TIP: In New York, you must list an eligible in-state college to be considered for state grant aid. The order in which you list the colleges will not impact your eligibility for state aid programs. * If you’re a dependent student, you will need this information for your parents as well.

Access To High-Quality Education A Priority As new school year begins, NYSUT urges stakeholders to refocus on serving students The New York State United Teachers and its local affiliates will continue their fight for state and local policies that ensure all New York students have access to a high-quality education. “Throughout my career as an educator, a new school year has represented an opportunity to renew my commitment to my students and implement new ways to engage them with the curriculum they need to learn to succeed,” NYSUT president Andy Pallotta said. “As the 2019-20 school year begins, I challenge everyone with a hand in steering public education—from school board members to state education officials and legislators—to consider how we are currently serve

our children and set sincere goals for how together we will improve educational outcomes for every New York student in the coming year.” With the release of grade 3-8 state test results in August showing small gains, NYSUT has renewed calls for the state Education Department to roll up its sleeves and finally Correct the Tests. That includes fixing the invalid scoring benchmarks that have mislabeled our children; creating shorter, developmentally appropriate tests; and addressing the issues with computer-based testing that officials have repeatedly promised, but failed, to fix. “While testing may be federally mandated, there is no mandate that our students face stress, anxiety and,

in far too many cases, tears,” NYSUT Executive vice president Jolene DiBrango said. “There are seven months until students in grades 3-8 will sit for the next round of exams. That’s more than enough time for the state Education Department to make real progress toward correcting the tests.” Looking ahead to the 2020 legislative session beginning in January, Pallotta urged state elected officials to take time to carefully review the difficult budgetary decisions many school districts and colleges have been forced to make and consider how New York will boost public education in the next state budget. “Recent increases in state aid for our schools have helped us make

gains, but there is much work left to be done,” Pallotta said. “Many schools have basic needs like new computers, some need additional staff and others are facing multimillion-dollar infrastructure project costs. All students deserve the best public education New York can provide them, and providing proper funding is essential to having great schools and colleges.” New York State United Teachers is a statewide union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO. —New York State United Teachers

Why Do Parents Choose a Catholic Education?

When public school is free, and many of Long Island’s school districts are strong, why do parents choose a Catholic education? Catholic education offers something that public education simply cannot, a unified view of the student as a person with intellectual, physical, social and spiritual needs. Catholic education addresses the ‘whole person’, providing answers for questions that go far beyond the NY State educational curriculum. Children naturally wonder if their lives have purpose and meaning. Catholic school provides answers for those questions, assuring each child that they are intended to be here, are here for a reason, and that there is meaning to their life. Catholic school prepares students for college, for life, and for eternal life.

Their journey continues.

Are there observable differences in a Catholic school graduate? Catholic school students are often thought to be more courteous and more likely to display good manners. While this might be a by-product of an environment that demands that students show respect for each other, the truth is that the outward displays are manifestations of the respect each student has developed for themself. Students learn that they have obligations beyond themselves to be of service to their fellow students and to their fellow human beings.

Do Catholic school students out-perform their peers academically? By ‘standard’ measures, yes. On LI, nearly every Catholic high school student graduates from high school. Virtually every Catholic high school graduate goes to college (99%). Once in college, almost twice as many Catholic school students earn the degree they set out to get when compared to their public school counterparts. (source: NCES longitudinal study, Nov 2014). The simplest explanation is that Catholic schools have higher expectations for each student, and students largely live up to the expectations you set for them.

How involved are Catholic school parents? The inclusive communities around Catholic schools invite and actively include parents, grandparents, family members and guardians in the education of their children. The participation and involvement of the parent communicates the importance of education clearly to the student. A successful student is the result of the parent, the student and the school working together.

It’s just a short bus ride back to school. But their real journey is their lifelong journey towards Christ. A Catholic education helps chart their course. We invite you to explore how the Catholic Elementary Schools of Long Island can help your children on their most important journey.

Do you have to be Catholic to attend a Catholic school? Long Island’s Catholic schools serve children of all races, ethnicities and religions and financial assistance is available. There are requirements for completing religion classes, but the timeless values and warm and nurturing learning environment in Catholic school brings out the best in every student.

Mount Saint Mary College inaugurates new president

hat better way to start a new school year than to welcome a new president? On Sept. 13, that’s exactly what Mount Saint Mary College did. The private liberal arts college, located in Newburgh, NY, was founded in 1959 by the Dominican Sisters and is in the midst of celebrating 60 years. Among the celebrations was the inauguration of Dr. Jason N. Adsit, the seventh president of the college. His tenure began in June 2018. “I am humbled and honored to be joining the Mount Saint Mary College community,” said Adsit in a press release. “I look forward to working with the Mount’s talented students, faculty and staff as well as its dedicated alumni, parents and friends to build upon its tradition of innovation and academic excellence.

Sisters find continued expression through the great work of everyone associated with the College.” Before coming to Mount Saint Mary College, Adsit served D’Youville College in Buffalo, as Dean of the School of Arts, Sciences & Education and Director of the

Educational Leadership Doctoral Program. He oversaw all five undergraduate and graduate programs in the school. During his tenure at the University of Rochester, Adsit took the role of Associate Provost for Academic Administration, where he managed the university’s compliance and regulatory affairs with state agencies and national organizations in the design and implementation of new programs. Earlier in his career, Adsit served as Director of the Teaching and Learning Center at SUNY Buffalo and as Assistant Dean for Institutional Research and Assessment at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. Adsit has written many scholarly articles on a variety of topics, with his work appearing in the National Teaching and Learning Forum, The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, and the Journal of Educational Technology

Systems, among others. For nearly a decade, he has been a professional reviewer for the Journal of Online Learning and Teaching (JOLT), American Journal of Distance Education (AJDE), Educational Technology and Society, and Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice. An accomplished speaker, he most recently presented “DIY Assessment of General Education” at the Drexel University Assessment Conference. Adsit earned a doctoral degree in Philosophy from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from American University in Washington, DC.

Private Prep acquires top coding enrichment program, The Coding Space BY CHRISTINA CLAUS

cclaus@antonmediagroup.com

It’s not hard to decode that computer science and coding is on the rise in schools and making waves in the career industry. And many of the STEM and STEAM programs have it right: start kids young. Private Prep is a tutoring service with several locations, including one in Port Washington. The company recently acquired New York City’s top coding enrichment program, The Coding Space, which offers after-school coding classes for students. The program includes beginner coding in Scratch, intermediate coding in WoofJS and advanced coding in HTML, CSS and Javascript. “The company purchased The Coding Space because that’s the future and coding teaches kids how to problem solve, which is an

important skill for anybody,” said Jeremy Cohen, a former accountant at Morgan Stanley, turned math teacher and football coach, who also runs the Port Washington location. The Coding Space, a leading provider of after-school and summer coding education for students aged 8 to 17 in New York City, takes a unique approach to teach

students basic to advanced STEM skills, expanding the ways in which the team can continue to provide premier educational services to Private Prep families. With a mission of helping students independently develop intellectual confidence, a growth mindset and computational thinking skills, The Coding Space is a welcome addition to Private Prep. Private Prep offers college test prep including ACT, SAT and SAT subject tests; secondary school test prep for students applying for independent schools that require standardized tests like the ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT and other entrance exams; subject tutoring in areas like math, science, social sciences, English language arts, foreign languages and more; college admissions from college list creation and visit planning to navigating

standardized test strategies and timelines; and academic skills coaching like executive functioning, academic transitions, college transitions and productivity focus. Private Prep has three options for its services. Students can choose to get their tutoring services at the center or in their home at the same price. For a reduced rate, students can choose the third option of being tutored online, which utilizes a virtual whiteboard. “What makes us different is, with us, you always start with in-person complimentary consultation with a director, who is like a quasi-guidance counselor,” Cohen said of the company. Private Prep is located at 110 Main St., Port Washington. For information, visit www.privateprep. com, call 516-284-8634 or email longisland@privateprep.com.

Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers® Island Drafting and Technical Institute (IDTI) was founded in 1957, and is staffed by faculty members who have had professional and practical experience in the engineering, architectural, CADD (Computer Aided Drafting/ Design) and computer and electronics fields. The Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, and is authorized to confer two-year associate degrees by the New York State Board of Regents. The Institute’s aim is to graduate students who are well trained and technically qualified so that they may enter their chosen field or continue their education at the baccalaureate or higher level. Island Drafting and Technical Institute has over 50 years of leadership and experience in preparing Long Islanders for careers. By staying abreast of the latest developments in the industry, the Institute continues to provide the personal attention students need to succeed. IDTI began life as the brainchild of Joseph P. Di Liberto, a senior design engineer at Republic Aviation in Farmingdale. Working at Republic by day and teaching by night, he started the school, then known as Aircraft Trade School, with just eight students. “Mr. D,” as he was known, handled the admissions, administration, and teaching all himself, with help from his wife, Gloria. After several years, Di Liberto moved the school from its original home in Amityville, N.Y.,

to the location it has called home ever since — 128 Broadway in the Village of Amityville. In June 1959, the school incorporated and its name was changed to Island Drafting School. In March 1973, the name of the school was changed to its current form — Island Drafting and Technical Institute. IDTI was first accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools on January 21, 1967, being on the first list of schools ever accredited by NATTS. In February 1997, the school was authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies degree. Under this authorization, the Institute is approved to offer degree programs in computer aided drafting and design/mechanical and computer aided drafting and design/ architectural. In December 1997, the Institute was approved to offer degree programs in electronic and computer service technology.

president James G. Di Liberto has been a fixture at the Amityville campus since the 1970s. And, John G. Di Liberto, who joined the school in 2000, got his start at IDTI handing out leaflets back in the 1960s. In June of this year, Forbes magazine ranked IDTI number 12 on their list of the Top 30 Trade Schools in America. Despite the technological changes of the past half-century, particularly on Long Island, and as drafting tables give way to computers, and drafters move from drawing airplanes to designing buildings, IDTI has continued to provide educational and employment opportunities for its graduates through concentrated, highly structured programs of study that prepare students for careers. Island Drafting and Technical Institute — The College for Careers.®

IDTI also offers to industry, as well as to individual job holders, skills training to improve on-the-job capabilities. Programs can be customdesigned for particular companies, in addition to the extensive program offerings regularly available. Though Joseph Di Liberto passed away in 2002, IDTI’s mission has been carried on by the next generation: his two sons. Current school 207298 S

A New Pastor, Open House For St. Dom’s

aint Dominic High School in Oyster Bay holds the distinction of being the oldest high school in the Diocese of Rockville Centre and while that is quite the honor, the school is truly an institution for a quality and value-based education. With a mission statement to “educate young people in a community dedicated to Gospel values and Catholic Fr. Tom Coogan teachings while ministering to students of diverse abilities to achieve wholeness through personal holiness, academic excellence and social responsibility,” St. Dominic High School is a prestigious Catholic educational institution on Long Island that has responsibilities to education from the nursery program through 12th grade. Msgr. Thomas M. Coogan, who was previously the pastor at Saint Patrick School in Bay Shore has been welcomed as the pastor of Saint Dominic High School in Oyster Bay. He will assume the position from Father Kevin Smith, who has been the pastor of St. Dominic’s Bay for the past 10 and a half years. With more than 90 years of faith and education, the Catholic coed institution attracts students from communities outside the local area and offers students many options in terms of programs and classes, especially those who are interested in the increasingly popular STEM studies. St. Dom’s will host an open house on Sunday, Oct. 6, from 1 to 3 :30 p.m. Registration will take place in the Athletic Complex Parking Lot. Parking is available behind the chapel, behind Canivan Hall, and on the street. Tours of the campus will allow prospective students to visit the Science and Communications Center, Chromebook Presentation, World Language Lab, Chapel and learn more about team-centered and championship winning athletic teams. St. Dominic High School is located at 110 Anstice St., Oyster Bay. For more information, call 516-922-4888 or visit hs.stdoms.org. —Jennifer Fauci

A Taste For Education On Tuesday, Oct. 8, Taste for Education, a yearly food tasting fundraiser, will be held at St. John the Baptist DHS in the Cougar Cafe. The vendors will feature a variety of foods, desserts, florists, and beverages. Entertainment will be provided throughout the night by St. John’s Jazz Ensemble. The college preparatory Catholic High School is part of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, and offers a value-centered education that recognizes the unique talents and abilities of each child, while fostering a school environment that challenges students to reach their true potential. Open since 1966, St. John’s offers a rigorous curriculum and extensive activity and athletic programs. Students have the opportunity to take numerous Advanced Placement classes and 99% of St. John’s graduates continue on to higher education. Every year, the Taste for Education event sells out and we are expecting the same this year. Tickets are $50 per person and they can be purchased online at www.stjohnthebaptistdhs.net. Click on the Taste for Education banner at the top, or visit www. stjohnthebaptistdhs.net/ taste-for-education. If you are unable to visit the website, you can also call the St. John the Baptist Office of Advancement and Alumni at 631-587-8000, ext. 176, and ask

for Joanne Jones. Tickets can be purchased online or by check. Make checks payable to: St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School. They can be mailed to

the Knight family tracked down Rosenblum. They wanted to help with their own creation, Draf10 Motorsports. “I said, ‘Hi, can I speak to Jim Rosenblum?’” Mark Knight recalled. “He said to hold on. He comes back a couple of seconds later and says, ‘That’s what it says on my driver’s license.’ I told him what we’re trying to do. They were racing at Charlotte that spring, so we went on board as a sponsor to meet the team.” From there, the pairing worked. But the team is volunteer-based, with the money leftover from expenses going to support surviving first responders. In 2019, they’ve only been to two races— Daytona and the nearby Pocono Raceway in July—but didn’t finish on the lead lap in either event. But that’s not what matters for anyone involved in FDNY Racing. The cause is much greater than the finishing result. “Jim’s famous line is, ‘No matter what, did you have fun?’” Knight said. “Wrecked a $100,000 truck? Did you have fun? Even if we don’t make a race, we’re all hanging out and having fun.” The Knight duo has lofty goals for this team, though. In January of 2018, rumors emerged that FDNY Racing would shut down after the first race of the year at Daytona. It wasn’t a surprise given they only show up to a handful of races and the high cost of putting together money for even one race. But that led to Daytona becoming an emotional weekend, with different drivers sharing stories about

Rosenblum and the rest of the FDNY team. Lo and behold, Rosenblum’s FDNY squad returned to Talladega Superspeedway in October. Not only did that team show up, but thanks to a new Ilmor motor that levels out the field between the teams with millions of dollars in funding and ones like FDNY Racing, Dauzat roared through the field. He finished eighth that day, the only top-10 finish FDNY Racing has ever recorded in 56 Truck Series races. Now, Knight wants to bring this team to the next level, giving Rosenblum a chance to see what it’s capable of, all while keeping the mission of FDNY Racing going. “We asked Jim if we can start pursuing sponsorship and helping out,” Knight said. “We want to make it a full-time team. We’ve made good connections inside NASCAR.” The volunteers from FDNY Racing will continue to work on the trucks should the team get sponsorship to go full-time racing. They’ll set up the trucks, while a pit crew from the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program will service the No. 28 entry during races to perform those intense 14-second pit stops. “To win a race would be the pinnacle,” Knight said. “It’s not about winning races for Jim. He’s about let’s have fun and let the chips fall where they’re going to. I hope we can be a competitive team. We want to enhance the team, but keep the foundation that started it.”

Raising Awareness During Suicide Prevention Month

assau County Executive Laura Curran held a dome lighting on Sept. 10, World Suicide Prevention Day, to raise awareness on suicide and suicide prevention. Each year, more than 41,000 individuals die by suicide. The month of September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to shed light on a topic that is painful and difficult to discuss. “In Nassau County, we want to raise awareness about suicide as well as share resources to help people in need and to the help those who have been affected by suicide,” said Curran. “September is Suicide Prevention Month and is helping spark this dialogue about this difficult topic, it’s important to keep this conversation going so we can make sure those suffering know they are not alone and that there is support available.” Statistics show that suicide is a widespread problem, affecting all ages, genders, economic statuses and ethnicities. Suicide rates in the United States have increased nearly 30 percent since 1999. In New York specifically it rose 28.8 percent between 1999 through 2016. From 2014-16, 292 people in Nassau County died by suicide. “Lighting the dome in honor of suicide prevention month is so critical to help spread the word about actions

we can all take to prevent suicide. Engaging and educating health professionals and the general public about suicide prevention and warning signs of suicide will help to save many lives,” said David Kilmnick, president and CEO of LGBT Network. “LGBT youth attempt suicide at rates three times higher than their heterosexual peers and we couldn’t be more thankful that Curran has stepped up to the plate to shine a light on this critical issue that will help countless number of families.” “In 2017, there were over 47,000 deaths by suicide in the U.S. While

this number is staggering, the good news is that by having conversations and raising awareness, we can prevent suicides and save lives. Long Island Crisis Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to speak to anyone who may be thinking about suicide or who may be concerned about a loved one that may be suicidal,” said Theresa Buhse, executive director of Long Island Crisis Center and member of LI Suicide Prevention Coalition. “Every year we continue to lose members of our community to suicide. Those whose lives are affected by these

losses are often devastated by the aftermath of losing a friend, coworker, neighbor or a loved one. Standing together we can prevent these tragedies by offering hope, resources, and support to those who need it most,” said Jamie Bogenshutz, executive director of the YES Community Counseling Center and Secretary of LI Suicide Prevention Coalition. “No one needs to be alone; as we commemorate Suicide prevention month and every day, we will stand united in those efforts.” Nassau County offers many resources for those who are struggling including a 24/7 confidential helpline at 516-227-8255.

This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 16 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Make your own clothes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People do strange things for attention. It’s difficult to make sense of their actions, which are mostly involuntary, of the moment and baffling, even to themselves. Your superpower this week won’t be figuring people out; rather, it will be tolerating their oddities and nurturing good behavior by ignoring less-than. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It would be easy to put the tasks related to making a living on the front burner while everything else moves to the back. Instead, focus on the tasks closely linked to your happiness. You just might make money at it, too. Also, if you don’t know what makes you happy, experiment. It might be something unexpected. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If only people would just tell you what they want you to know without you having to guess which question to ask! Lead with your natural curiosity, and you’ll learn all the best stuff. You might be surprised how many people aren’t curious about others like you are. It’s a strength you should lean into. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s an inexplicable attraction between you and those who are difficult to please and even harder to entertain. This is a well-matched challenge that will improve you both. You’ll become more patient and a better communicator. They’ll learn to cherish those who put up with them. Win-win. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People wind up, for one reason or another, in positions for which they are ill-suited. The one who has the job isn’t always the one who does it best, but we must deal with things as they are instead of fighting reality or pining for an ideal that has and will never exist. This week offers the grace of acceptance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While you could get away with less-than-optimum levels of basic human survival stuff like sleep, exercise and nutrition, winning will have to do with keeping up a strong foundation. Get more and better instead of skimping here and there. Prioritize your self-care to maintain a competitive edge. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You put an idea out there. It’s a good reflection of what’s on your mind. Then things change, and your mind changes. The world changes more; your mind changes again... What you said no longer seems like a good representation of what you want to express. Allow yourself endless do-overs and the grace to grow. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). All you want to do is make the tomorrow as good as it can be for as many people as possible. It will happen in soft, small ways that begin with an accurate assessment of the situation. So, don’t be too quick to decide what people need. An unhurried and neutral observation will teach you thoroughly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you now have at least five different ways to contact each person you know, connecting seems harder than ever. It’s as though having all the ways makes you less likely to choose one. Just do it. Most of the value in reaching out (and there is considerable value in it) is in the initiation of the action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The problem with trying to tame more primitive drives is not just that they stubbornly resist training; it’s that those drives have no awareness that the trainer even exists. Your higher mind is invisible and inaudible to your lower nature, but you can communicate with systems and schedules, pleasure and pain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Words can get stuck in a rut just like other things do. Words get overused, become too familiar and lose their meaning, becoming like empty purses that used to carry currency. You’ll make updates to your words to keep them fresh. Your personal language will evolve with the people and culture around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Empathy makes humans human. The other animals don’t imagine and reason as we do and are therefore unable to project themselves into the life of another and relate to, and almost even live, a life that is not their own. This week, your empathy will elevate you and allow you to transcend ordinary experience.

DINING

From The Bee’s Mouth To Yours The sweet celebration of National Honey Month BY STEVE MOSCO SMOSCO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen you think about it, honey is basically a human-imposed tax on bees. Those winged workers spend their entire lives building nests, serving their queen, and making honey— before eventually a beekeeper (the “taxman” in this scenario) comes around to collect a portion of their sweet earnings for use in food products, beauty supplies, and as pop culture fodder for the likes of Winnie the Pooh. On the surface, it seems like a raw deal for the bees. But when you think about it, bees would make honey even if we didn’t seek it out. Also, apiarists—the fancy word for beekeeper—build elaborate hives for their colonies, giving the bees a safe haven for honey making. When you think about it like that, the bees have got it made. For us humans, honey is most likely a staple in every kitchen cabinet in the world. Each one of us have either a bear-shaped squeeze bottle or traditional glass jar of sweet,

sticky amber goodness at the ready for teas, sauces or as a way to ease the ingestion of something bitter or medicinal. But what are the different types of honey and who was the first brave soul to stick their hand in a wild bee nest?

A Drizzle of History

Honey and humans share a history that stretches back more than 10,000 years, with honey harvesting depictions showing up in cave paintings. One of the more famous ones being that of a honey seeking stick figure robbing a wild bee colony was found in Valencia, Spain. And the first human to go for the honey gold likely observed primates trying it first—and even though they probably witnessed the wrath of the bees, they still chose to strive for the spoils of war. The pain of a bee sting is short-lived, while the glory of honey lives on. The first domesticated beehives trace back to the Egyptians, who would carve out pseudo hives for swarms in tree trunks. Unfortunately, this method often resulted in hives being destroyed by

LONGISLANDWEEKLY.COM

the ancient beekeepers during honey harvesting. The practice continued until the mid-19th century, when the American apiarist Rev. Lorenzo Langstroth created the “collateral hive,” which consisted of a series of combs that could easily be slid in and out while keeping the hive itself intact. Bees everywhere owe a debt of gratitude to the ol’ reverend.

All The Honey In The World

The color, taste and variety of the world’s honey depends entirely on where the bees get their buzz on and the blossoms from which they gather

TO ADVERTISE CALL: 516-747-8282

the nectar. In the U.S., there are more than 300 unique types of honey, each from a different floral source. Colors range from almost clear to the darkest of dark browns, with flavors existing on a broad spectrum from subtle and mild, to bold and robust. You might be thinking, “I’m really smart and I say that all honey tastes exactly the same.” If you were to say this, you’d be entirely wrong and may the local bee swarm find and mercilessly attack you. All honey tastes decidedly different, depending on where it originates. This is a fact of nature. Accept it. Clover honey, the variety that contributes more to honey production than any other

group of plants, has a pleasing, mild taste, with colors ranging from white to amber. Buckwheat honey, on the other hand, is the stout beer of honey, dark and full-bodied. Many of you are probably most familiar with wildflower honey, but this variety is mainly a catch-all term referring to honey from miscellaneous and undefined flower sources. But if you want the full antioxidant and anti-allergy benefit of honey, you really should source it from where you live. Well, guess what, Long Island, you’re in luck. New York’s climate, adequate rainfall, and rich limestone soil combine to create some of the best honey in the nation—and that’s not just New York bravado talking, as the state is one of the most popular for beekeeping and honey harvesting. Think about how geographically diverse New York is— there’s meadows, orchards, swamps, mountains, suburban expanses and urban gardens, each providing bees with a buzz-worthy variety of flowers and pollens.

Honey From Hell

For a taste of some sweet heat, check out Mike’s Hot Honey. Originating in Brooklyn, Mike’s Hot Honey started as home-brewed batches from founder Mike Kurtz, who would drizzle his proprietary honey on the pizza at the pizzeria

SEPTEMBER 18 - 24, 2019 33A

where he worked. Word spread, and eventually customers swarmed Kurtz looking for a bottle of their own. Today, Mike’s Hot Honey is available nationwide and is made with honey sourced from domestic beekeepers and infused with chili peppers. Is it good on pizza? Damn straight it is. But it pairs just as well with fried chicken, yogurt, fruit, tea, cheese, biscuits, cocktails, and just about anything else you can imagine. The bees are sweating with pride.

Pollination Nation

The ubiquitous nature and timelessness of honey can lead some to take this natural sweetener for granted. Don’t leave honey in the back of your pantry collecting dust—instead, revel in the majesty of nature, find the nearest bee, and thank it for its tireless contribution to the honey consumption cause.

Workin’ Woman

Models show off the fall 2019 collection at the presentation on Sept. 7.

Rebecca Minkoff unveils her fall line at New York Fashion Week BY CHRISTINA CLAUS AND CAROLINE RYAN CCLAUS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM CRYAN@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

tepping into Rebecca Minkoff’s New York Fashion Week show at Pier59 Studios was like walking into a rainbow. After waiting on a line, watching celebrities like Sofia Richie and Victoria Justice walk by, fashion

aficionados moved into Minkoff’s first-ever presentation, an industrial room—dark, with concrete floors and exposed piping—brightened by the vibrant colors of the 2019 fall collection. Stacks of colored boxes separated the color palettes and the scenes of models shifting every few seconds to pose for a new photograph. To capture the modern working woman, Minkoff’s presentation began with a scene of reds and

pinks—four models at a table gone awry, as though they were flipping the chair—literally and figuratively—on the status quo. The messed-up office theme appeared throughout the entirety of the show in different colors with various office supplies. Across from that scene, stood models in neutrals and light pinks. Standing out from the scene was the third model, Mara Martin, seated in a blue tiger-striped dress, breastfeeding her baby. “When @rebeccaminkoff asked me to be a part of her show as a model and mother while nursing Aria I immediately said yes,” Martin wrote on Instagram. “She wanted me to represent the working mom for her during part of her show, because that’s what I am. As women we wear many hats, Rebecca being a prime example of that. She is a mother, wife, designer, business woman, and all around boss. She is the example I am constantly looking up to. So proud to be a small part of your vision.” When viewers looked to their left, they saw another scene of grays, pinks and blues in what appears to be an office. Walking further into the presentation, one saw DJ Pamela Tick providing the music for the walk-through surrounded by models donned in red and black. In a scene that looked like the printer went berserk, models are covered in blue sweaters, gray overalls and animal print. Stepping further into the show, green and mustard yellow took over the view as models struck poses in neutral outerwear. With music bumping and crowds excitedly snapping photos or talking into a camera for their YouTube

channel, the presentation ended for the group of viewers as they grabbed a Rebecca Minkoff x Stitch Fix makeup bag with the printed word “Freedom” on the way out. Minkoff’s fall/winter collection is inspired by the modern working woman. Although Minkoff has worked with Stitch Fix since 2017, this is the first time the high-end clothing

The Art Of RedZone T BY CHRISTOPHER BIRSNER cbirsner@antonmediagroup.com

here’s nothing like kicking back on a Sunday afternoon, turning on your local NFL game and taking in seven hours of football. But being forced to watch just one game during the 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. time slots while seven or eight games are happening can be the bane of any avid fan’s existence. Most want to keep up with all the action, which is when a channel like NFL RedZone comes in. “NFL RedZone is, according to our fans, the best way to watch NFL football,” said host Scott Hanson. “It is the 10,000-foot view of the NFL. Instead of watching just one game on a Sunday afternoon, you watch every game. We control the CBS and FOX feeds from however many games are going on and we will take you to where the action is hottest, specifically if someone is in the red zone or within the 10-yard line.” The seven-hour, commercial-free program by NFL Media is celebrating its 10th anniversary, having first aired on Sept. 13, 2009, four years after DirecTV started its own version for the NFL Sunday Ticket package. Hanson, a Syracuse University alumnus, had been with NFL Network since 2006 and was just a roving reporter for the channel before getting the big hosting opportunity. “They knew my passion for the game, my knowledge of the game and my energy level which were three things that were required to host RedZone,” said Hanson. “I was brought in for an audition, which was five hours long. Usually, a television audition is 10 minutes and they usually put you up on set to see how you look and sound. For this, they wanted to see how much knowledge you had, how you can ad-lib, and if you can keep it going for a long time.” Hanson said that he “flopped and sweated” through his audition and didn’t know if he had done well in order to get the job. However, a few weeks later, he got the call to be the host. For 11 seasons since, he’s been the face of the channel that has changed the way people watch the NFL. “It’s a little bit like air traffic control at the world’s busiest airport,” said Hanson. “You got to get [the games] in and get them off the runway as soon as possible. You can’t pause, wait a few minutes and think about it. You have to keep going constantly because the next airplane is coming in. It’s controlled chaos. Our goal is to show viewers, live

or right after it happens, every moment we’ll be talking about on Monday.” A moment that stands out to Hanson in his time doing NFL RedZone was Oct. 14, 2012, nearing the end of the late-game window. Three games were going down to the wire and deserved the channel’s attention, so the channel showed a triple-box of all three games being played at once. Within 30 seconds of each other, Hanson described how Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had a 76-yard run to clinch a win against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie quarterback Russell Wilson threw a game-winning touchdown pass against the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely missed a game-winning field goal against the Buffalo Bills. “When we hit all three of those at the same time, it was like the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey when they look out and go ‘It’s full of stars,’” said Hanson. “It is nothing we’ve ever seen before or can even contemplate. I thought at that moment that, if we can continue to do this production the right way, fans will want to watch NFL RedZone every single week. They’ll make it their football tradition. That’s

proven to be the case.” Hanson said that NFL RedZone always tries to be engaging, even when there aren’t many games on in the late window. When all the games are at halftime or in commercial, the show takes the opportunity to go back and re-experience a moment that happened in the early window and also follow that up with sound bites from post-game press conferences. It gives them an opportunity to present these story lines for the viewers at home. “When we have a game-winning touchdown or defensive stop, one or two hours later, people are going to want to see it again,” said Hanson. “We always find a way to display compelling football. It’s exhausting because a seven-hour show with no commercials and me as the solo host is a physical, mental and even biological channel with no bathroom breaks. It’s like nothing else on television.” Hanson encourages anyone who has not experienced the channel before to give them one Sunday to experience the action and see if they can get hooked. If it isn’t part of your cable package, you can order RedZone for your mobile device using the NFL app. “If you would go back in time and tell 10-year-old Scott Hanson that there would be a channel that showed nothing but showed the best parts of the NFL as they were happening, he would pass out from excitement knowing it existed, let alone be the voice, face and host of that channel,” he said.
