9JKL Is A Family Affair BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO AND BETSY ABRAHAM EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

riting what you know about is usually the easiest path to creative success. So it goes with 9JKL, the new CBS sitcom created by actor Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains) and his wife/writer Dana Klein. The series’ main character is Feuerstein’s Josh Roberts, a new divorcé and actor between projects who moves home to New York to regroup, living in an apartment sandwiched between his doting, meddlesome parents on one side and his brother, sister-in-law and their new baby on the other. The roots for this project were drawn from a period of time in Feuerstein’s own life. “While I was shooting Royal Pains, I was living in an apartment my parents owned next to the apartment I grew up in. That was very generous and great that I got to stay there for free, but also challenging because I’d wake up to my dad asking me what I wanted for breakfast or as I would get off the elevator and my hand would graze the doorknob, my mom was in her nightgown asking if I wanted a salad,” he recalled. “For a period of two years my brother and his wife and baby lived next door as well.” The relatable nature of having a scenario with a tightly knit family is given an extra boost by the casting of Elliott Gould and Linda Lavin as the main character’s parents, Harry and Judy Roberts. As stage-trained actors, these industry veterans are both thrilled with the show’s concept, as well as the caliber of writing that they’re getting to work with, week in and week out. “What I bring to my work usually is my soul and my heart and that’s part of the substance of [this] family. As funny as we are, as peculiar as we act and think, this show has a heart, a soul and is very funny,” Gould explained. “When it gets down to it, this form of television is very, very, very fast. The writers and the producers are rewriting all the time and we just have to be prepared. I love to work and I work to live and live to work. I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity. Plus Linda Lavin is great. It’s more than just a privilege working with her. She’s very gifted, very giving, very experienced and we are a very funny couple.” Lavin is equally effusive about being involved with this project and working with Gould. And

9JKL’s Linda Lavin (second from right) and Elliott Gould in a scene with television sons David Walton (far left) and Mark Feuerstein given the fact that she and Feuerstein played mother and son in the late 1990s NBC sitcom Conrad Bloom, 9JKL has become a sort of homecoming for her. “It’s an electric writers’ room and they’re a wonderful group of people who care about actors and writing for the characters as the actor develops the character, and that doesn’t always happen. Elliott Gould is the iconic co-star and he too comes from the theater. He’s a wonderful guy, a very brilliant actor and a great joy to work with every day. He and I know, of course, Broadway musicals like nobody’s business, so we sing a lot together on the set. When you’re performing in front of an audience, you know in the moment if it’s working. If it’s not, these writers, en masse, get onto the stage and start rewriting

while we’re performing on show night,” she said. “My connection with Mark has been immediate. I liken us to jazz musicians. We’re in the moment. We feed off of each other. His skills are highly developed as a comic actor and I’ve got a few of them myself. We make each other laugh and listen to each other with a great deal of respect. It’s a seamless and encouraging relationship. I wish it for everybody.” That connection with Lavin is one that Feuerstein cherishes and is a smaller reflection of what he feels the appeal of 9JKL will be to viewers. “Linda Lavin has played my mother and we were meant to play mother and son. As a Jew, there’s an expression, bashert—meant to be. She is my meant-to-be TV mother. Nothing has changed. Hopefully this version of our mother and son relationship will be more successful,” he said. “It’s been 15 years since the other show didn’t work. This is going to be in the hands of this writing staff and the amazing cast we have around us. This show works. When we tested it, people just instantly get this family and it’s not only because of the writing or the fact that it’s based on real life, but the cast. There’s a glue there, a connective tissue you can’t fake.” 9JKL premieres on CBS Monday, Oct. 2 at 8:30 p.m.

Finding A New Dream And A New Home

For a young David Chulwoo Lee, his colleagues joked that he had missed the economic boom of the 1980s by the time he arrived in New York City from Korea. However, Lee decided to create his own prosperity, leaving behind his homeland in search of the American dream. Since then, Lee has become something of an ambassador between South Korea and the United States, building bridges between leaders and innovators. Ever engaged with community leadership, Lee founded the Korean American Leaders Conference that brought together this past summer elected officials and top Korean leaders in the realms of the clergy, business, and politics. Among many other positions, he has also served as the deputy commissioner of information technology for Nassau County, director of multicultural development for the town of North Hempstead and trade liaison officer with the state’s Empire State Development Corporation. Lee was born in the Gangwon

LONG ISLAND WINS Maryann Sinclair Slutsky Province of South Korea in 1955, just two years after the Korean War ended. The province was once unified before the division of Korea and was situated right on the border of the demilitarized zone (DMZ). His noble, land-owning family survived despite being targeted by North Koreans. He remembered seeing the aftermath of the destruction, remnants of the war, including destroyed tanks and cannons. “In some cases, human bones,” Lee said. Growing up, Lee attended a school built by American soldiers. To combat the famine, Americans also helped distribute milk and corn. Lee carried on and eventually

enrolled in the Korean Air Force Academy after high school, becoming a pilot, instructor, then department chairman. “The current chief chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in Korea, he was my cadet. I taught him. Now, he’s a four-star general, and he represents the whole Korean army,” Lee said. Lee also enrolled at Yonsei University, where he obtained his master’s degree in political science. “I found out if I studied political science, that doesn’t necessarily lead to be a politician. I see that politics is networking and money, no knowledge, so OK forget about it,” Lee said. “That’s why I moved to America.” Securing a scholarship from Rotary International, Lee immigrated to the U.S. in 1988, also joining his mother who had already estab-

value of liberty, value of democracy. I liked that.” And so, Lee got to work, endeavoring to get into the burgeoning field of information technology. “I enjoyed to study that, so I got a new dream and the dream came true,” he said. The scholarship enabled him to enroll at Brooklyn College, where he studied computer science. Since the scholarship only lasted one year, he soon had to find his first job repairing computer monitors in Ozone Park, Queens. He worked his way up the ranks through other positions to become a general manager, heading a national marketing program. “With that experience, I could build my own company,” he said. “I know how to play my own game.” He went on to found his own software development company. From his Korean name “Chulwoo,” the “Chul” means “bright.” So, he called the new enterprise Bright Computer. He compiled a software system for his first prospective client, a dry cleaning business. Then, Lee moved on to his next client and the next. A variety of local garment stores, beauty salons and liquor

Sam Rosen: A Life In Sports BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Sam Rosen (left) with longtime friend and former New York Rangers broadcast partner John Davidson the young sports fan’s allegiances in baseball and football were with the New York Yankees and New York Giants. It would be an announcer of the former who stoked the young Rosenblum’s interest in pursuing a career in broadcasting. “Growing up a Yankees fan and watching and listening to Yankees baseball, I grew to be a tremendous fan of and admirer of Mel Allen. I just loved his delivery, enthusiasm, energy and excitement that he brought to his broadcast. I always found that very

Sports runs deep in Sam Rosen’s blood. Ever since 1984, the German native’s main gig has been as the television play-by-play man for the New York Rangers, a role he took over from his mentor, the late Jim Gordon. His professionalism and approach to this role not only found him being honored for 30 years of service via a March 21, 2014 airing of This One Will Last a Lifetime: 30 Years of Sam Rosen on the MSG Network, a special that ran before a Rangers-Islanders game, but he was also informed by management that he could continue in his current position as long as he wants. No surprise when you consider that the man born Samuel Rosenblum has quite the broadcast background. Starting out in the news department of radio’s WINS, he then enjoyed stints as a statistician for the New York Knicks before later becoming a regular on-air presence during ESPN’s early years from 1979 to 1988. Having grown up a diehard sports fan in Brooklyn, where he captained and played catcher for his baseball teams at Stuyvesant High School and City College of New York (CCNY),

exhilarating to listen to on the radio and watch him on television because he just called a terrific game. Even if it was a slow-moving baseball game, to me he always brought excitement to it,” Rosen recalled. “When I went into the profession, I wanted to make sure people felt the same excitement or exhilaration that I was feeling being there live.” While Rosen got a taste of the broadcasting world while working at the all-news station WINS as a CCNY undergrad, his on-air debut wouldn’t occur until he crossed paths with future mentor and friend Gordon during his role as the Knicks’ statistician. It’s a fortuitous meeting that the incredibly humble Rosen continues to cherish to this day. “I think the first time I actually did some live on-air work I was statistician for the New York Knicks Radio Network. Jim Gordon, who was my predecessor on Rangers hockey and was basically my mentor, was doing play-by-play for the Knicks Radio Network. There came a point during the course of the season where he said these were my stats and that I should do them. That’s basically how I started—recapping the stats, giving a brief synopsis of all the statistical information, both at halftime and the end of the game,” Rosen recalled. “Jim to me was the consummate pro. I learned a lot from him. Whatever assignment you gave him, he did it and he did it well. He is who I try to model myself after.” Rosen got to flex his versatility during the first nine years of ESPN’s existence. With the all-sports network struggling to fill air-time, Rosen handled whatever was thrown at him, whether he was paired with Pro Football Hall of Fame player Paul Warfield as an analyst as one of the network’s college football broadcast teams or being the voice of

the College World Series from 1984 to 1988 or covering less-popular sports including women’s field hockey, table tennis Australian Rules football, horse racing and volleyball. In addition to his current duties with the Rangers, Rosen also does play-by-play for NHL Radio, the NBC Sports Network and The NFL on Fox. His most recent honor came when he was voted to receive the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award and be recognized as a Media Honouree by the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) last year. In addition to being the sole announcer being recognized, Rosen attended the award luncheon with his family and saw his plaque hung in the HHOF. “To be singled out as [someone whose] done something special is so meaningful and humbling to have yourself chosen from so many outstanding people in our profession. Then probably the most moving moment for me was to walk into the Great Hall at the Hall of Fame and see all the plaques and faces of all the greats in hockey— the players, coaches and builders—and then go into the wing of the writers and broadcasters and walk along and see the numerous great names there. And then to see my name there on the wall—all of a sudden you just get stopped dead in your tracks,” he said. “The Rangers were in Toronto shortly after that to play the Maple Leafs and after the morning skate, I took a walk over to the Hall of Fame just to look at the plaque again to make sure that I hadn’t dreamt it and that it had really taken place. It’s a very emotional time and a very special meaning to have the knowledge that it’s something that will be there for all time.” Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read Sam Rosen’s top sports moments.

Children’s Hope India Raises Record Funding On LI BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Children’s Hope India’s teen leadership group, CH3, held its annual walk-a-thon on Sept. 17 at Eisenhower Park where they raised a record amount of money to send underprivileged children from local Long Island shelters to summer camp. The event, which was organized and led by the teens, began with a dance warm-up by Namrata Baja of BnBDance Company, was followed by the 5K walk and ended with a raffle drawing and donation to a local food pantry. DJ Sharad, with MC Gino Carpio, livened up the already festive mood, thanks to the enthusiasm of the nearly 100 attendees and the beautiful weather. Legislator Rose Marie Walker attended the CH3 event to lend her continued support to the organization. Advantage Testing of Long Island and DNP Enterprises sponsored the backpack give-away, Pinnacle College Consultants sponsored the water bottles, and seven local businesses and individuals sponsored mile markers throughout the 5K course: Jeannie Fontana, Sachin & Babi Ahluwalia, Method Test Prep, David Casale, Liggette & Webb PA, Compass Rose, and Rekha Advani. Altogether, the event raised approximately $10,000. CH3, which was formed in 2014 when six enthusiastic teenagers came together to try to make a difference, had a modest goal in their first year of sending two children to summer camp. The success of CH3 has subsequently enabled the organization to support the enrollment of 34

CH3 teens who organized the event children over the course of four summers. Now, with the success of last Sunday, the teens will be able to sponsor even more children to attend The Young People’s Day Camp. Children’s Hope India (CHI) is a volunteer organization of Indian women professionals in New York that has been raising funds for children’s health and education since 1992. Guided by the principle that “every child counts,” CHI’s mission is to give underprivileged children a chance for a brighter future. Now in its landmark 25th year, CHI

supports more than 20 projects across several major cities in India and the New York Metropolitan area, reaching out to more than 250,000 children. With a mandate of “children helping children” and armed with new ideas and an awareness of global issues, CH3 wants to give back and share this consciousness with their peers and local communities.

Jordan Bernstein’s Eye In The Sky BY JOSEPH CATRONE JCATRONE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Jordan Bernstein’s drone lifts off. While the technology may seem complicated on the surface, Bernstein assures that, with practice, almost anyone can learn how to fly a drone. “The drones available on the market make flying easy,” Bernstein said. “When you let go of the controls, it will automatically stabilize itself, and recent drones have an obstacle avoidance technology, which means that if you’re about to crash, the drone will stop itself. However, in order to get those smooth aerial shots and make fluid maneuvers, one will need to practice.”

KKEOEPHINLG’SKIDCS HAEARLTEHSY Our 5-2-1-0 campaign is easy to remember and lets you work on one set of healthy habits at a time.

Bernstein, who had a fascination with flight from an early age, found the process of learning to fly drones rather intuitive, and quickly realized that he could use the technology as a way to combine flight with his other interest: photography. And though Bernstein is unsure of what he plans to study in college, he expects his work with drones to continue in some form or another, be it as a hobby or something more. “Ever since I was young, I have always been interested in flight,” Bernstein said. “I’d make paper planes and flew remote control planes. At age 13 or 14, I graduated to quad-copters, which are smaller drones, and, soon after, I got my first ‘real’ drone. It started out as a hobby, and I still fly drones for fun, but hopefully photography and drone technology will be applicable to my future as well.”

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity affecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

In an age where technology is seemingly moving at hyper speed, many see two appropriate courses of action—keep up or fall behind. Roslyn High School senior Jordan Bernstein has opted to go with the former, having taken up an interest in flying drones to take photos and videos of events and locations that are of interest to him, while also building flying and racing drones as a side project. Bernstein notes that the appeal of drones stems from not only their various functions, but their potential as well. “A drone can be used for a variety of things because it is essentially an eye in the sky,” Bernstein said. “They can be used for photography, search and rescue, landscaping, inspections, delivery and countless other ways that haven’t been thought of yet.” While there are several types of drones, the drone Bernstein works with is known as an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV. Originally, UAVs were seen mostly in the military, but over the years, civilian usage of UAVs has become more and more popular, eventually outnumbering military UAV usage by a wide margin. Today, drones can be used for anything from surveillance to food delivery.

RECIPES

Celebrate Apple Month With Seasonal Ingredients This October, explore more healthful recipes with a burst of plant-based protein during National Apple Month. Apple consumption in the U.S. is 65 apples per capita. With more Americans making an effort to increase the amount of protein, fruits and vegetables in their diet, versatile soyfoods make a great accompaniment for seasonal apples. As you enjoy fresh apples, applesauce, baked goods, salads and desserts with apples, consider incorporating protein-rich soyfoods into your recipes. One serving of soyfoods offers approximately seven to 15 grams of cholesterol-free protein that is low in saturated fats. In fact, soy is a complete protein offering all eight of the essential amino acids needed for healthy growth. The Soyfoods Council offers the following recipe ideas featuring apples. Creamy Apple Vinaigrette With Baby Spinach, Candied Walnuts, Green Apple And Goat Cheese is a salad-centric way to observe National Apple Month. Make the vinaigrette by combining soft silken tofu, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soybean oil, onion and other seasonings in a food processor or blender. Fresh Apple Bread starts with shredded fresh apples and incorporates soft tofu, soymilk, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cloves and cinnamon for a breakfast treat or mid-morning snack. Fresh Apple Slices with Spiced Fruit Dip is a convenient after school or after work snack. For this easy-tomake dip, simply combine 1¼ cup firm silken tofu, 2 Tbsp. brown sugar and ½ tsp. of cinnamon in a blender and blend until smooth. Apple Crisp is a comfort food dessert combining Granny Smith Apples, oatmeal, brown sugar, soy flour and margarine with a creamy tofu whipped topping. The topping is made in a blender, combining firm silken tofu, vanilla extract, sugar and vanilla soymilk. Blend the topping ingredients and allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. In addition to adding protein to comfort food recipes, soyfoods are also part of a heart-healthy diet and may lower heart disease risk. Among the soy ingredient choices are soymilk, tofu, edamame, soynuts, soynut butter, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) and soy flour. For detailed recipes combining soyfoods and apples, visit the Soyfoods Council website at www. thesoyfoodscouncil.com. You’ll also find nutrition information, the latest research about soyfoods and your health and cooking tips.

MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY:

Learning Transformed Nestled along New Jersey’s coastline, just one hour from New York City and Philadelphia, you’ll find a warm, friendly atmosphere and experience the historic architecture mingled among new academic buildings and residence halls that students are drawn to. From top facilities to the engaged faculty, it’s evident that Monmouth University takes pride in preparing students to succeed in life. At Monmouth, transformative learning does not just take place in a lecture hall but through a variety of ways, some experiential, technological, collaborative and innovative.

Collaboration Beyond the Classroom The University is committed to learning experiences that are high-impact, immersive and extend beyond the classroom. Research opportunities are a transformative way for qualified students, in any major, to work one-onone with faculty on a wide variety of topics and to nurture the student’s intellectual and career passions. Employers want to see how job candidates think and function, analytically and creatively. “Our students are gaining experience that serves as the perfect bridge from college to career — they make a real impression,” said Dr. Kathryn Kloby, vice provost for transformative learning.

174055 C

Arturo Romua '13 attended Monmouth for its marine and environmental biology and policy major. Since then, he has taken what he learned in the classroom and from research projects, to benefit a larger learning experience.

"What stands out the most would be my research in the Bahamas," Arturo said. "I took a Tropical Island Ecology course as my Experiential Education class, and for two weeks, I was with 19 other students examining coral reef and mangrove ecosystems. We snorkeled almost daily and got to experience sustainable living."

Partnerships with Industry Leaders Monmouth University also has established networks of professionals for each of its schools, who serve in an advisory capacity. These councils help to advance distinctive curricula and degree programs and are an essential part of the fabric of the University. “We want to ensure our students are intellectually challenged and that our graduates are fully prepared for life after Monmouth — personally and professionally said Provost Laura Moriarty. “Our advisory councils are helping us to train students with skill sets that are in demand,” she said. “And it is not just students’ technical skills we are developing,” said Moriarty. “Preparing students for the workforce also requires mastering skills such as leadership.” Council members also support Monmouth’s students by talking to them about dressing for success, advising on résumé writing and appropriate social media skills, and instilling the value of teamwork.

Focused on Real-World Experience At Monmouth University, students gain hands-on experience working in and around New York City and Philadelphia. In fact, 78 percent of Monmouth students have completed

a practicum, internship, co-op, or similar "realworld" experience by their senior year — that’s more than 30 percentage points above the national average at comparable institutions. For Monmouth alumni Thomas Beaufort ’15 and Amy Rosenzweig ’17, internships were key. Thomas turned his internship into a full-time position and is currently working in digital marketing for JPMorgan Chase. Amy earned an international business degree at Monmouth University’s Leon Hess Business School following an internship with De Lage Landen, an international finance firm. Both credit their internships in helping them gain experience and open the door to great job opportunities.

On a Mission to Make a Difference Through Monmouth’s alternative break program students can use spring and winter break time to give back — in the next town or across the globe. From helping communities in Sea Bright, NJ recover from Superstorm Sandy to building a new school in Guatamala, Monmouth provides unique opportunities for students to help others while learning more about the world around them. From first-year advising to career services, and experiential education, Monmouth helps students plan ahead from the very first day. Students, in turn, gain valuable hands-on experience that has led more than 48,000 alumni to successful careers throughout the country and around the world.

IN KNOWLEDGE THERE IS OPPORTUNITY

Communication Access Real-Time Translation providers, or CART providers, are court reporters who work primarily with deaf or hard-of-hearing people in a variety of settings turning speech into text so that the deaf or hard-of-hearing can interact with the world around them. For example, CART providers who use a stenograph machine may caption high school and college classes and provide an immediate transcript to students who are hard-ofhearing or learning English as a second language. Computer-aided transcription, or “CAT,” is technology that utilizes highly specialized

software to interpret the strokes made by a court reporter on a stenography machine. As the court reporter presses applicable keyboard combinations, the software immediately translates the machine shorthand into English. Realtime writing refers to computer-aided transcription which is performed by court reporters and can be instantly read on a monitor.

Growth of the elderly population also will increase the demand for court reporters who are Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) providers or who can accompany their clients to doctor’s appointments, town hall meetings, and religious services. In addition, theaters and sports stadiums will provide closed captioning for deaf or hard-ofhearing customers.

Catholic High Schools Entrance Examination Scheduled The Catholic High Schools of Long Island will hold an entrance examination for prospective students on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 8:30 a.m. at each of the 10 high schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. The exam is the first step in the process to apply to these schools. Open to current eighth grade students, the entrance exam is required for consideration to the following schools: Chaminade High School in Mineola, Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville, Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale, McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School in Riverhead, Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset, Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, St. Dominic College Preparatory High School in Oyster Bay, St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip and St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset.

results to make decisions about applicants. Registration must be completed by Wednesday, Oct. 4. Accommodations may be made for extended time and/ or enlarged print; such applications must be submitted by Friday, Sept. 29. Beginning in late September, each school will hold weekend open house events staffed by administrators, faculty members, and students to describe school programs and answer questions. Visit www.CHSEE.org for more information about the exam and open houses sponsored by each school.

Robotics Competition Regionals To Be Held At Hofstra Following the largest-ever SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition, SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) has announced that the organization will now host two regional events in the 20172018 season. Planned as a double header, these back-to-back regionals will be held April 9 to 11 and April 12 to 14, 2018 at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. Each event will serve as a separate regional, with different teams competing in separate alliances and tournament rounds. Now in its 19th season, the SBPLI Long Island Regional features teams of high school-aged students from across Long Island, the New York metropolitan area and even around the world competing in a cooperative tournament-style robotics competition. Guided by their mentors, students rely on their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to compete for honors and recognition that reward design excellence, competitive play and sportsmanship. This high-energy event further emphasizes the importance of high-impact partnerships

between students, universities, businesses and communities. “We are incredibly excited to be opening up a second regional tournament, which we are certain will provide an even greater level of exhilaration for teams across the region,” said Bertram Dittmar, executive director, SBPLI/ FIRST Long Island. “With an increasing number of Long Island FIRST Robotics Competition teams joining each year, and more teams from outside the area wanting to compete, the need for an additional local tournament became

very evident. Now, we’ll be able to accommodate an even larger number of teams and face-offs.” “The SBPLI Long Island Regional is an amazing way for students to showcase their talents in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields,” said Larry Toonkel, newly appointed co-director, FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Long Island, echoing the sentiments of his predecessor. “In addition to making it now possible for all Long Island teams to participate, our hope for this new season is that more teams from across the state, nation and world will be able to compete at one or both of our events.” In anticipation of these events, SBPLI’s FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff will once again take place at Stony Brook University on Saturday, Jan. 6, 2018. At that time, teams will have the opportunity to learn the details of this season’s challenge, in addition to collecting their kits of parts.

FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID FAFSA

Three FAFSA Deadlines You Need To Be Aware Of BY DREW GOINS AND NORA ONLEY

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Ah, deadlines. The sworn enemy of students across the nation. When you’re busy with classes, extracurricular activities, and a social life in whatever time you’ve got left, it’s easy to lose track and let due dates start whooshing by. All of a sudden, your 10-page term paper is due in an hour, and you’re only on page five (with the help of 26-point type and triple line spacing). We get it. Nevertheless, we’re here to point out a few critical deadlines that you really shouldn’t miss: those to do with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. By submitting your FAFSA form late, you might be forfeiting big money that can help you pay for college.

............................................................................................

Here are those three deadlines:

The College Deadline

The first type of deadline comes from colleges themselves, and—spoiler alert—it’s typically pretty early. These deadlines vary from school to school, but they usually come well before the academic year starts. If you’re applying to multiple colleges, be sure to look up each school’s FAFSA deadline and apply by the earliest one. Many of these FAFSA due dates are priority deadlines. This means that you need to get your FAFSA form in by that date to be considered for the most money. Many colleges have this date clearly marked on their financial aid pages. If you can’t find it, you can always call the school’s financial aid office. If you’re worried about gathering information to complete the FAFSA form in time to meet this deadline, don’t be. You can apply as early as Oct. 1 (instead of Jan. 1 as you may have done in the past). This earlier submission date will give you more time to complete the FAFSA form before college deadlines approach, which means more time to compare schools. You’ll use earlier (2016) tax information, so there’s no need for estimates. Didn’t think it could get any easier? The earlier launch date coincides with many college application deadlines, so go ahead and apply for schools and for federal aid at the same time. If you haven’t figured out where you’re applying yet, don’t worry. You can still submit the FAFSA form. Just add any school you’re considering, even if you’re not sure whether you’ll apply or be accepted. You can always add or remove schools later.

The State Deadline

The second deadline is determined by your home state. Starting on Oct.1, you can check your state’s deadline here. Some states have hard deadlines and other states have suggested deadlines to make sure you get priority consideration for college money. There’s also a group of states that offer first-come, first-served financial aid. If your state’s deadline is “As soon as possible after Oct. 1, 2017,” you should get your FAFSA form submitted ASAP. Many of these states award financial aid funds only until they run out, so the sooner you apply, the better your chances.

.............................................

The Federal Deadline

This last deadline comes from us, the U.S. Department of Education, a/k/a the FAFSA folks. Our only time constraint is that each year’s FAFSA form becomes unavailable on June 30 at the end of the academic year it applies to. That means that the 2018–19 FAFSA form (which will be available on Oct. 1, 2017), will disappear from fafsa.gov on June 30, 2019, because that’s the end of the 2018–19 school year. That’s right; you can technically go through your entire year at college before accessing the FAFSA form. However, a few federal student aid programs have limited funds, so be sure to apply as soon as you can. Also, as we said, earlier deadlines from states and colleges make waiting a bad idea.

Why So Many Deadlines? All these entities award their financial aid money differently and at different times. What they all have in common, though, is that they use the FAFSA form to assess eligibility for their aid programs. So when a college wants to get its aid squared away before the academic year starts, it needs your FAFSA form to make that happen. If you want in on that college money, you need to help the college out by getting your information in by its deadline. The same goes for state aid programs. Additionally, many outside scholarship programs need to see your FAFSA info before they will consider your application. If you’re applying for scholarships, you need to stay on top of those deadlines, too.

What Happens If I Miss The Deadlines? Don’t miss the deadlines. Plan to get your FAFSA form in by the earliest of all the deadlines for your best crack at college money. By missing deadlines, you take yourself out of the running for money you might otherwise get. Some states and colleges continue awarding aid to FAFSA latecomers, but your chances get much slimmer, and the payout is often less if you do get aid. It’s just better not to miss the deadlines. If you miss the end-of-June federal deadline, you’re no longer eligible to submit that year’s FAFSA form. Did we mention not to miss the deadlines? Across the board, the motto really is “the sooner the better.” So turn in your FAFSA form and that term paper as soon as possible (without the 26-point type). Apply by the earliest deadline. Get your FAFSA form done today. —Drew Goins is a former intern with the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid.

7 Things You Need Before You Fill Out The 2018–19 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 2018–19 FAFSA form will be available on Oct. 1, 2017. 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*

An 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. We recommend creating 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 an FSA ID for someone else.) To summarize: • Anyone who plans to fill out the 2018–19 FAFSA form should create an 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 Social Your driver’s license number

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

..........................................

❒ Your Social 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 2018–19 FAFSA form, you (and your parents, as appropriate) will report your 2016

income information, rather than your 2017 income information. • Since you’ll already have filed your 2016 taxes by the time the FAFSA form launches, you’ll be able to import ywour 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 2016 tax return and 2016 IRS W-2 available for reference. The IRS DRT will return with the 2018–19 FAFSA form on Oct. 1, 2017. 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 2017 tax information. We understand that for some families, 2016 income doesn’t accurately reflect your current financial situation. If you have experienced a reduction in income since the 2016 tax year, you should complete the FAFSA form with the info it asks for (2016), 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 2018–19 FAFSA form with your 2017 tax information after filing 2017 taxes. 2016 information is what’s required. No updates necessary; no updates allowed.

..........................................

❒ Your Social 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 2018–19 FAFSA form, you’ll report 2016 tax or calendar year information when asked these questions. Find specific details for parents and students.

❒ Your Social 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 2016 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.

...........................................................

❒ Your Social 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: To be considered for state aid, several states require you to list schools in a particular order (for instance, you might need to list a state school first). Find out whether your state has a requirement for the order in which you list schools on your FAFSA form. * If you’re a dependent student, you will need this information for your parents as well. —Nicole Callahan is a digital engagement strategist at the U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid.

It’s Not Too Late To Save For College Allstate understands that time flies when you are a parent. One day you’re bringing your baby to daycare and the next you’re watching them go off to college. You might have started thinking about how you are going to pay for your child’s education. Higher education is an important and expensive investment. Allstate wants to help customers prepare for their child’s future without the stress of waiting until the last minute. According to the College Savings Plans Network, the cost of attending college is increasing about twice as much as inflation each year. If you did not start a 529 plan when your kids were born, there is still hope. With strategic planning and a lot of dedication, you can provide for your kids so they can avoid facing substantial debt after they finish college.

There are a few questions you should ask yourself: How much will my child need? There are tools available to help get an estimate. CNN Money’s helpful tool, “How much will that college really cost?,” allows users to search annual tuition rates by college name or state. Then, FinAid’s college cost projector allows you to enter the current one-year cost of attending the school of choice and takes both rising tuition and inflation into account to provide you with one, two, three and four-year total projected costs.

How do I start saving? FinAid recommends a one-third rule. Aim to put away about onethird of each child’s college costs in savings. Once college starts, you and your family can use one-third from savings, pay one-third out-of-pocket and borrow the last third. FinAid suggests putting this plan into action by setting aside 10 percent of your salary from the day your child is born. One way to start saving is to consider a 529 plan for each child. The Internal Revenue Service explains that 529 plans allow you to contribute part of your income without it being subjected to income tax, as long as the money is being used for qualified education expenses. How much will my savings yield? After calculating how much to save, think about how much your savings will yield. For example, FinAid calculates that setting aside $100 a month from birth to age 17 at a 5 percent interest rate will yield $139,358. Saving $100 a month for the same period with no interest yields $88,400. Talking to a financial advisor can help you determine which options best fit your needs. It is never too late to start saving for your child’s education. Take the time to educate yourself on your options now so you can make the best decision for your family’s future. —Allstate Insurance

Early Childhood Education Week • Oct. 22-28

Early Childhood Education is the foundation for success. You want to give them a safe, loving environment. With structure and discipline. Not just day care, but a real school with certified teachers. A school that supports working Moms (and Dads), with before and after care—and gives students as young as three years old the fundamental skills they need to develop a lifetime love of learning. Of course, choosing a Catholic education gives them much more than an educational advantage. It also helps them understand their purpose in life and their obligations to others, reinforcing the values you live at home. Isn’t that what you want for your children?

In Catholic Elementary School, we love learning about God and His mysteries, about the world and its wonders, about humanity and its amazing potential. Every day, this love animates 43 amazing Catholic elementary schools in which children discover the majesty of God, the beauty of creation, the meaning of their lives.

To learn more about why Catholic Elementary School is a better place to start, and to find a school near you, call 516-678-5800 x 258 or visit us online at www.LICatholicElementarySchools.org

If you love learning, and believe in your child’s amazing potential to grow, to learn, to love and to serve, then Catholic school may be the right choice for your children. www.LICatholicElementarySchools.org 174702 C

Hofstra’s Music Program Spins Success Stories For the second consecutive year, Billboard magazine included Hofstra University’s music department and its bachelor of science degree in music business program in a roundup of the country’s “Best Music Business Schools.” This past summer the music business program welcomed a new coordinator, Terrance Tompkins, who is experienced with A&R, artist management, marketing and touring. Billboard cited Hofstra’s program for teaming up with the University’s Center for Entrepreneurship to launch Mane Records, a student-run label that offers real-life experience recording, producing, promoting and distributing music. Hofstra students are mentored by top industry professionals, participating in workshops on campus and at recording studios in New York City. They are immersed in all aspects of the recording business and perform the duties necessary to commercialize music over the course of a semester. Hofstra’s chapter of the Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association (MEISA) is

extremely active, hosting lectures, posting regularly on social media and organizing a spring music industry conference that offers panels on publishing, live music, record labels and songwriting and studio production. Hofstra was included on the Billboard list with schools such as Berklee College of Music, Belmont University, New York University and USC. Philip Stoecker, chair of Hofstra’s music department, said the program owes much of its success to the school’s location. “Given our campus’ proximity to New York City, Hofstra is in the unique position to attract students from across the country that are interested in studying about the music business,” said Stoecker. “Our graduates have secured positions at a variety of first-tier music companies from Atlantic Records, Sony Music, Madison Square Garden, Live Nation, Jazz at Lincoln Center, American Symphony Orchestra and Korg USA.” —Submitted by Hofstra University

Billboard recently named Hofstra’s music program as one of the nation’s best.

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

RT HEA AC

AG UR CO

IT M EN T.

EMY AD

SACR E

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

E. M CO MP OM ASSION. C

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. 174768 C

Department Of Labor Announces $1.3M For Women In Apprenticeships

he U.S. Department of Labor announced nearly $1.3 million is available to help more women access quality apprenticeship programs and pursue careers in advanced manufacturing, energy, healthcare, information technology and transportation, among other industries. “Women are nearly half of the American workforce, yet make up a fraction of professionals in STEM careers,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. “This administration is committed to increasing women’s participation in STEM by expanding the number of quality apprenticeships across the U.S., including those in high-growth, emerging sectors where apprenticeships have historically been rare.” The Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations grant program will award $1.294 million to applicants in nontraditional occupations where women represent 25 percent or less of all employees. Grants will be awarded to up to four community-based organizations. Applicants must provide one or more of the following types of technical assistance: • Developing pre-apprenticeship or nontraditional skills training programs; • Providing ongoing orientations for employers, unions and workers on creating a successful environment for women to succeed in these careers; and • Setting up support groups and facilitating networks for women to improve their retention. — U.S. Department of Labor

Saint Dominic High School

SAINT DOMINIC HIGH SCHOOL 110 Anstice Street Oyster Bay, New York 11771 Contact: Mr. Matthew O’Brien Director of Admissions 516.922.4888 ext.5325 mobrien2@stdoms.org

Saint Dominic High School offers a student-centered, Catholic education to young women and men on Long Island. The key to Saint Dominic’s perennial attractiveness and success is this: the administration, faculty and staff respond to each student in a personal and caring manner, treating her or him as an individual with unique needs, aspirations, and potential. Very simply, here “You are a name, not a number!”

With an average class size of twenty-two and a student to faculty ratio of 13:1, Saint Dominic students excel in a curriculum designed to challenge the learning potential of each student. While offering a NYS Board of Regents Curriculum, students are able to go beyond state standards by taking college level, advanced placement, and honors courses, as well as our newly designed STEM program. One-hundred percent of the Class of 2017 was accepted to some of the world’s finest colleges and universities and secured over $23 million in academic, athletic and merit-based scholarships. Saint Dominic campus features a Science and Communications Center, which consists of five state-of-the-art labs. We have built and maintained research partnerships with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and The Oyster Bay Waterfront Center. In addition, we have created a state-ofthe-art World Language Lab for the Spanish and Italian curricula. The lab utilizes technology so students can learn interactively by speaking with and listening to native speakers and teachers can exposes students to college-level curriculum. We are excited for the launch of our 1:1 Chromebook initiative. The availability of one-to-one learning in our classrooms on a daily basis will offer many new learning opportunities to our students. Saint Dominic offers diverse programs in fine arts and athletics, allowing students to participate at a level consistent with their interests and abilities. The Charles B. Wang Saint Dominic Playing Fields, just 2.4 miles away from our main campus, is comprised of two baseball, two softball, two lacrosse/soccer fields, four tennis courts, and a retreat house, making it one of the finest comprehensive facilities on Long Island. On college signing day, we had 13 student-athletes commit to major colleges and universities where they will continue playing at the next level.

Board Of Regents Revises Teacher Certification Requirements

he Board of Regents recently took steps to improve the process to obtain an initial teaching certificate in New York. The changes are based on the recommendations of a panel of education experts and public input, and maintain the state’s rigorous standards to ensure that candidates for certification are well-prepared to teach. “The changes we made [to] demonstrate that the board is listening to the experts and the public,” Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. “The new passing score on the edTPA remains among the highest of those states that require its use; at the same time, however, we continue to provide our teacher candidates with fair options to meet the exam’s requirements.” Following a lengthy and open process that sought and used public and

The Board of Regents approved the recommended phase-in, as described in this table: Passing Score MMRP Range

expert input, the Regents approved a series of changes to New York’s teacher certification process. Specifically, these changes will: phase-in a revised passing score on the edTPA teacher certification exam; extend the safety net for those candidates who do not pass the edTPA; and amend the eligibility requirements to use a Multiple Measure Review Process in certain cases. “The Regents continue to take important steps to ensure the quality of our teaching force,” State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said. “New York is facing a shortage of qualified teachers in specific subject areas

and in many parts of the State. [The] action strikes the right balance by providing fairness to those seeking to become teachers, while maintaining some of the most rigorous certification requirements in the country.”

Public Input & Task Force Recommendations Inform Changes In May 2014, the Department of Education released new and revised teacher certification exams. One of those new exams, the edTPA, is a subject-specific, multi-measure performance assessment that is required for

initial certification. A standard setting panel of experts established a passing score of 41 on the edTPA exam. At that time, the Board of Regents also established a temporary safety net for students who do not pass the edTPA. The safety net allows these students to take and pass the Assessment of Teaching Skills—Written (ATS-W) in place of the edTPA. In 2014, the department also established an edTPA Task Force to explore possible improvements to the exam going forward. The task force was comprised of representatives from CUNY, SUNY, the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (cIcu), the Teacher Education Advisory Group, United University Professions (UUP), the Professional Staff Congress and New York State Education Department staff. In January 2016, the edTPA Task

23 PROFILES IN EDUCATION • SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

Force reconvened at the request of members of the Board of Regents. The Task Force, led by Dr. David Cantaffa of SUNY and Dr. Jamie Dangler of UUP, was also informed by information gathered by Regents Kathleen Cashin and Catherine Collins at a series of public forums held around the state. Those meetings were attended by members of the Board of Regents, Commissioner Elia, SED staff and the public. The edTPA Task Force presented its recommendations to the Board of Regents at the Board’s January 2017 meeting.

Changes to the edTPA Phase-In of Revised Passing Score The edTPA Task Force recommended that the department establish a standard setting committee to determine if the passing score for the edTPA should be reset and gradually phased-in over several years. To address this recommendation, the department convened a 31-member panel in June 2017 that reviewed the edTPA passing score; the panel was comprised of a diverse group of P-12 educators as well as higher education faculty with experience in teacher preparation. The Standard Setting Panel recommended a passing score of 40 (the current passing score is 41) that would be implemented after a fouryear phase-in period. Multiple Measures Review Process The Task Force also asked the department to implement a Multiple Measures Review Process in cases where there is compelling evidence that a candidate is ready to teach but did not

Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa at the Thurgood Marshall Academy. achieve a passing score on the edTPA. At its June 2017 meeting, the Board of Regents adopted regulations to implement such a review process. Since the initial adoption of this regulation, the standard setting panel determined that an amendment is needed to ensure consistency for candidates and to make it easier for them to know when they can utilize the Multiple Measures Review Process. Specifically, the panel recommended revising one provision of the existing regulation so that a candidate will have to score “two points below the passing score” (rather than the existing “one standard deviation below the passing score”) to be eligible for the review process. The Board today adopted that change, as described in the Table above. Now a multiple-measures review process can be undertaken for candidates who take and are not successful on the edTPA, but who otherwise

have the knowledge, skills and abilities to become a teacher of record and who: 1. Fall within two points below the new passing score; 2. Have a minimum GPA of 3.0; and 3. Pass all other exams required for the teaching certificate they seek. The department has worked with representatives from cIcu, CUNY, SUNY and the edTPA Task Force co-chairs to develop policies and procedures to implement the Multiple Measures Review Process. The policies and procedures will include a description of the panelists who will review the candidates’ cases (e.g., how panelists are selected, length of terms, etc.), the format and frequency of panel meetings and the parameters for the candidates’ letters of recommendation that must be submitted in support of their application for review. The Multiple Measures Review Process will not be implemented until the new cut scores go into effect. Safety Net Existing regulations allow students who do not pass the edTPA exam to take and pass the Assessment of Teaching Skills—Written (ATS-W) in its place. This safety net is currently

23B available until either the date a new passing score for the edTPA is approved by the Commissioner (after a recommendation is made by a new standard setting panel) or until June 30, 2018, whichever is earlier. To help candidates transition to the Multiple Measures Review Process, the Board today amended the regulations to extend the existing safety net to June 30, 2018—even though a new passing score will be effective before this date (see above, “Phase-In of Revised Passing Score”). Beginning on July 1, 2018, the ATS-W (the current edTPA safety net exam) will no longer be available and candidates will no longer be able to register for or take the exam. Candidates who would like to take advantage of the edTPA safety net must plan to take the edTPA and receive their edTPA scores in time to register and sit for the ATS-W. The department will communicate the edTPA safety net extension to the field continuously through June 30, 2018. During this period, the department will begin to implement the new Multiple Measures Review Process and make that process available to students who meet the established criteria. Timetable for Implementation The amendments to the Multiple Measures Review Process and the safety net extension became effective as an emergency measure on Sept. 12, 2017. Public comments on the regulations changes will be accepted through Nov. 13, 2017 and can be submitted by email to REGCOMMENTS@nysed.gov. Following the 45-day public comment period, it is anticipated that the proposed amendment will be presented to the Board of Regents for adoption at its December 2017 meeting and would become effective as a permanent rule on Dec. 27, 2017. The phase-in of the passing score on the edTPA exam does not require an amendment of the regulations. —New York State Department of Education

Live within your means

Fall is here and school is back in session but for many graduates, it’s out for good. If you’re a recent high school or college graduate, this might be the first time you’re on your own. Living away from home and paying for your own housing, food and other necessities can be a tough adjustment. But being on your own for the first time is a new and exciting experience and it offers a perfect opportunity to set yourself up for success.

As you begin your career, it’s essential to have reliable income and use it responsibly. A good budgeting guideline to start with is the 50/20/30 rule. Allot 50 percent of your income to necessary costs like housing, 20 percent to financial goals like repaying student loans and 30 percent to spending money. Remember that this is a rule of thumb and you can adjust it to fit your needs. Never spend more than you have, and always pay your bills on time.

Now What? A lot may have changed since you opened your account, so consider changing your account to find the best one for your needs. If you are still sharing a bank account with your parents, consider opening your own. Opening an account can be simple and it’s possible to do so online or over the phone—but you’ll need a minimum deposit amount and documentation like your Social Security Number.

Figure out taxes The most important thing to know about taxes is that you must pay them on time or request a six month extension. If you’ve missed the deadline, don’t ignore the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)—follow their guidelines for repayment. There are multiple ways to pay your taxes and you can download the IRS2Go mobile app to make payments. Check with your parents before filing: if they claim you as a dependent, you won’t be able to claim tax exemptions. Finally, check

25 25B

PROFILES IN EDUCATION • SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

if you qualify for special exemptions like a student loan deduction.

Take charge of your student loans First, confirm your loan status at the official Federal Student Aid website where you can also explore your payment options and estimate how long it will take to repay your loans. Always make the minimum payments on time, and if you’re having trouble paying off your loans, don’t ignore them. Contact your lender, explain your situation and pay as much as you can immediately while prioritizing paying off the rest.

Check up on your healthcare Under the Affordable Care Act, you can stay on your parents’ plan until you’re 26. If you aren’t currently on your parents’ plan or wish to leave their plan, you have several options to explore. Under federal law, if you’re not covered by health insurance

you must pay a fee on your next federal tax return. You can explore the different levels of coverage available and estimate how much a plan will cost you at Healthcare.gov, the federal healthcare website.

Charge up your credit score

Get ready for retirement— yes, really The younger you start saving, the more valuable your savings are. According to Bankrate, starting your savings at age 25 at $2,000 a year will yield a retirement account of $560,000 (assuming your earnings grow at 8 percent every year). But starting 10 years later at age 35 will yield just $245,000 at retirement—less than half the money you’d have if you started saving 10 years earlier. The earlier you start saving, the more money you’ll end up with—and if you take advantage of an employer-matched 401k fund, you can put away extra money for free.

Building up credit as a young adult is important for big purchases down the road. Buying a house or purchasing a car are often significantly harder without a good credit score. It’s smart to start building good credit while your expenses are relatively small. For more information, the CFPB has a database of frequently asked questions with everything you need to know about credit cards and credit scores. Bottom line: Though the transition from student to independent adult may feel overwhelming, you can take this opportunity to get your finances organized and prepare for working life. Building a strong financial foundation early on will help you worry less about your money and allow you to fully enjoy other new aspects of your life after college. —Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa’s financial education programs.

Social Media Tips For The Aspiring Business Professional BY CHAD STORLIE

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Social media can be a springboard or an anchor to an effective career. Share the most trending news and information in your new profession and it will give you instant credibility as a thought leader. Share unprofessional behavior and ill-considered thoughts and you will have much explaining to do to an interviewer. Social media can expand your contacts so you meet and interact with industry professionals who can help determine your career path. Social media also gives you the best up-todate transition information and helps you understand and avoid potential career pitfalls. However, social media can be a stumbling block in your career when heat-of-the-moment comments and poor word choices can make a lasting impact on careers choices and opportunities. Here are a few tips to get the most out of social media and to understand how to use social media to be your best.

The Full Landscape of Social Media

We all know about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and other industry leaders in the social media field. Social media is also any electronic item that you put your name to or that can be associated with you. Writing in a comment section on a newspaper story or a discussion with your local school board on a problem, all of these constitute your social media transcript. Make sure that when you

post, the posts reflect who you truly are and you are proud of each and every social media post. ...............................

Social Media Rules: Be Considerate, Honest, Respectful & Kind

Passions and tempers can run high on social media and there is nothing wrong with that. Being passionate about issues, looking for answers, and testing solutions are some of the primary benefits of social media. What social media interaction needs is a dedication to civil behavior and discussion. Your social media posts and responses should be considerate of the other person’s opinion; honest in your own views; respectful of that person’s opinions; and kind in how you write and interact with that person. You can have an intense discussion about issues on social media, but make sure that your posts and responses are

considerate, honest, respectful and kind. If you are in doubt about any one of these things, then reconsider your writing. ...............................

Conduct an Honest Appraisal of Your Social Media Use

Social media cannot be cleaned up overnight or a new image or persona created. Start by doing a complete inventory of your online persona and begin removing, updating, and refreshing your image. This “personal brand” review will ensure that a historical look back at your social media activity truly reflects the person you are and want to become. Make sure you fully understand the controls in each social media application so the right message reaches the right audience.

Align Social Media Use With Your Career Goals

Social media is a reflection of you—bottom line. So who are you and what do you want to become? Align your social media interests and likes to reflect your career interests, personal passions, and outside interests. You will be amazed at how these contacts will give you information on job activity, career advice, and detail other industry trends that are not even in the traditional media yet.

SOCIAL MEDIA TIPS from page 26B

Be an Active Participant on Social Media with Relevant Content

If you want to post about your dog’s breakfast, I’m probably not that interested. If you want to tell me about a new dog food company that is operated by military veterans and uses new ingredients for animal health, then I am very interested. Great social media activity is about being consistent and being relevant to your audience. Being a conduit of news activity that is below the radar, finding trends that others miss, or finding unique solutions to problems that are supported by evidence are all ways for you to make a big “splash” in social media.

Networking is probably one of the most important tools for a successful career transition. Contacts created on social media are one avenue for you to have a wide range of contacts and make relevant connections. Again, a lot of times, it is the friend-of-a-friend connection that leads to a potential job opportunity. Finally, these social media connections are people that are just like you and can really expand your horizons as well as your potential. Face-to-face interactions, conferences, and other networking avenues are equally as relevant to networking as social media. Social media is an incredibly powerful tool for an effective and purposeful career. Used wisely and with grace, social media is a tool that builds your personal brand as a professional, creates contacts to propel your career, and demonstrates the full breadth that you bring to an organization.

Next Round Of Clean Energy Competition For Colleges And Universities BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

overnor Andrew Cuomo recently launched Energy to Lead 2017, a $3 million challenge to New York colleges and universities to transform ideas into real clean energy solutions to aggressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy bills and improve resiliency for their campus and surrounding community. The Energy to Lead Competition is part of Cuomo’s nation-leading energy strategy and supports New York’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030 and grow a clean energy economy across the state. “This competition challenges New York students to develop ambitious and innovative clean energy projects and help build a cleaner and healthier environment on campus and in their communities,” Cuomo said. “Colleges play a crucial role in finding creative solutions to our energy challenges, and I encourage schools and students to get involved to help New York meet its energy goals.” Energy to Lead 2017 is the second round of the competition, and is part of the REV Campus Challenge which recognizes and supports colleges and universities in New York State that strive to meet their financial, environmental, academic and community goals through clean energy solutions. “Governor Cuomo has made it a priority to scale up New York’s clean energy economy and build a more resilient and affordable system,”

said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. “The $3 million in additional funding for the Energy to Lead 2017 Competition will enable colleges and universities to further develop programs that will power their communities for generations to come by cutting costs to consumers, creating new jobs and combating climate change.” The competition is administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and is open to two- or four-year public or private colleges or universities. Funding awards will range from $250,000 to $1 million per project. “Under Governor Cuomo, New York continues to lead the nation in developing cutting-edge ideas that reduce carbon emissions, improve resiliency and protect our environment,” said

Richard Kauffman, Chair of Energy and Finance for New York State. “Engaging our future leaders to help solve critical energy challenges is imperative to fighting climate change and growing our innovative clean energy economy.” In May 2016, Bard College, SUNY University at Buffalo, and SUNY Broome Community College were each awarded $1 million through Round One of the competition. Bard’s winning project will show how novel microhydropower generators can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and will be integrated into student curricula and workforce training. The University at Buffalo project will demonstrate how a college or university can partner with its community to transform the local energy ecosystem, and it has a goal to install

100 megawatts of solar power throughout the city’s college and university campuses.

Combating Anti-Semitism LIU Post hosts community leaders

BY CHRIS BOYLE

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

n the last few months, anti-Semitism has reached a fever pitch in many communities across the country—even Long Island itself has not been immune and the issue was recently addressed at a special conference held at LIU Post. The State of Anti-Semitism Local and Global was a conference held on Sept. 13 on racism against the Jewish people, its impact on both the Long Island region and globally and how it can be addressed head-on through action groups and advocacy. The event was hosted by former Democratic Congressman Steve Israel for the Global Institute at Long Island University, a platform for understanding an increasingly complex world by bringing world leaders, thinkers and analysts to the campus to prepare students to change the world with new models of innovation and social entrepreneurship. Israel, the Global Institute’s current chairman, was to able to acquire an impressive array of speakers for the anti-Semitism conference, including Israeli Ambassador Dani Dayan, Evan Bernstein from the New York chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, Nassau County Acting Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and numerous others. “Jewish people are known as the chosen ones, but what are we chosen for? We were chosen to uphold a certain moral commitment, we were chosen to uphold justice and fairness and liberty—and if you follow the history of dictatorship and tyranny, if those people want to advance their aims, they have to go through those people who are putting up a barrier against them,” Israel said in his opening comments at the conference. “It’s been the Jewish people that put up that barrier. Jewish history teaches us that there is evil in the world and when there is evil we must confront it. We must act, and that’s what this conference is all about.” In August of 2016, Dani Dayan officially assumed the post of Consul General of Israel in New York and represents the state of Israel to communities throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Delaware. Dayan commented on the recent march of white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA, many of whom carried Nazi flags and shouted racist and anti-Semitic slogans while

Jewish history teaches us that there is evil in the world and when there is evil we must confront it. – Former Congressman Steve Israel

protesting the proposed removal of Civil War-era statues depicting Confederate leaders. “Nazism is the most evil ideology that mankind ever knew on the face of the Earth. So when Nazi flags were displayed in the city of an American town, there are no considerations about what could be worse,” he said. “This ideology, which brought about the massacre of six million Jews, is so abhorrent, so repugnant and so dangerous that when we see it displayed, be it in Charlottesville or other places around the globe, the supreme command is first and foremost to combat it. Nazism and white supremacy cannot have a place on the face of the Earth.” Evan Bernstein, the New York regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, spoke about the huge spike in cases that his organization has been handling in recent months, signifying a growing trend of racism directed towards Jews—a trend he said the public needs to take a united stand against. “Right now in our country’s history, business for us is at an all-time high, unfortunately,” he said. “The work that we’ve had to do, not only fighting against anti-Semitism, but securing

justice and fair treatment for all, is taking up so much of our time because of the intensity of these incidents. There has been a rise in activity on Long Island in recent months, including swastikas being spray painted on schools and homes and elderly couples being assaulted. You can’t let it go, the police and community leaders have to know because it’s the only way they’re going to be able to protect you and others from these kinds of things happening.” District Attorney Madeline Singas was also present at the conference and spoke about her creation of a hate crime-specific unit in the county’s police department this year and about the history of hate crime legislation passed in Nassau in 2000 and the effect it’s had on bias crime. “People have asked me, do we really need hate crimes legislation? Is it really necessary? Can’t you just prosecute an assault against one person the same way we would prosecute assault against another person?” she said. “And the answer is an overwhelming ‘yes’...it is absolutely necessary, because hate crimes not only target an individual, but it targets an entire community. Hate-driven crimes are despicable and we will work together

Former Congressman Steve Israel leads the conference. to make sure that we prevent them from happening, and that we prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law when they do happen.” Nassau County Acting Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder agreed with Singas and described the tireless work officers under his command take on as far as enforcement and community engagement goes, emphasizing that he’s driven to keep everyone safe under his watch, regardless of race, color or religion. “Hate crimes have no place in our society,” he said. “Whenever a race-related incident occurs, we work hand-in-hand with the district attorney. We’ve come a long way in how we handle bias incidents, but we always handle it and for the police department it’s a top priority.”

Disease Control and Prevention, one in 12 high school students attempt suicide, the third leading cause of death for 10- to 24-year-olds. Teaching about mental health in schools and educating to reduce stigma is long overdue. There is great misunderstanding and fear among many who have erroneous ideas about people with mental illness. Consequently, young people suffering with mental illness walk around school believing that there’s something inherently wrong with them that will never change. These children and teens often feel shunned, unlike their peers who have a physical health problem and who have others rally around them.

I can already hear those voices that will decry using educational resources for addressing the emotional needs of kids. If that is your view, I ask you to consider that approximately 50 percent of students age 14 and older who are living with a mental illness drop out of high school. Youngsters’ mental health and their ability to learn and become productive citizens in the community and workplace go hand-in-hand. We owe it to our children to support this vital new legislation by encouraging schools to incorporate meaningful education into the curriculum that reinforces the idea that mental health is an integral part of wellbeing. Our children need to learn that there is help that can lead to recovery.

chemotherapy. In the photo he was surrounded by his teacher and a smiling group of classmates, all of whom shaved their heads in solidarity with him. Imagine if instead of cancer he was depressed and suicidal. There would be no such image of public support, only one of isolation, shame and despair. A caring school community can offer a young person a safety net of meaningful and helpful connections. It is not unusual for a teenager to feel defective when struggling alone with a mental illness. Mental health education in schools can begin with mental wellness practices for children as early as four or five years old, for example, by teaching social skills and how to manage angry feelings. As children grow they can learn about the concept of wellness including self-care and personal responsibility. They can learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of developing mental health problems, how to manage crises such as the risk of suicide and self-harm and how to identify appropriate services and supports for treating and maintaining recovery from mental illness.

New legislation signed by Governor Cuomo in 2016 requires that public schools in New York State begin providing instruction in mental health on or after July 1, 2018. The legislation was co-sponsored by Senator Carl Marcellino (R-Nassau) and Assemblywoman Kathy Nolan (D-Queens). The new legislation adds mental health education to areas of learning that were already required by law, including education on the use and misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other substances and early detection of cancer. According to Glen Liebman, CEO of the Mental Health Association in New York State, “By ensuring that young people are educated about mental health, we increase the likelihood that they will be able to recognize signs in themselves and others that indicate when help is needed and how to get help.” Why is this legislation so important? One in five adolescents ages 13-18 is diagnosed with a mental health problem, yet only 40 percent get help. The average time from onset to seeking help is eight to 10 years. According to Centers for

The transition from high school to college can be a life-changing experience. College-bound students will quickly learn that they need to be more independent and responsible, both academically and in various aspects of campus living and culture. For many students, going away to college will be the first time they have ever lived away from home. That’s why it’s so important to research all the options so a student feels comfortable when the time comes to continue his or her academic career and delve into campus life. One of the biggest decisions incoming students face is adjusting to residence life on campus. Some students want to go away to school but may not want to live too far from home. Being close to New York City with its internship and career opportunities and being able to easily visit home for a weekend via a short drive, bus or train ride draws a lot of students from Long Island, the New York Hudson Valley area and Southern New Jersey to Ramapo College.

A Regal Beauty The Church of Saint Mary is Manhasset’s divine landmark BY JENNIFER FAUCI JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

or centuries, houses of worship have been designated as sanctuaries for those who feel lost, are in need of comfort or simply for those who come to pray. The Church of Saint Mary has provided many virtues for its parishioners for more than 150 years, and its commanding presence in the community has become so much more than a staple, but a second home. Like any significant moment in history, there are several important dates of conception for the Church of Saint Mary due to the transition of the church. Although the church is technically 164 years old as the 1853 logo states, it was first St. Michael’s in Flushing prior to being St. Mary’s officially in Manhasset. Originally a mission church, the structure was moved from Flushing to Plandome Road where it was dedicated on October 4, 1857, and served the people of St. Mary’s until Aug. 15, 1917, when the present church opened at 1300 Northern Boulevard. Eileen Symmons serves as the director of communications for the Church of Saint Mary and the Schools of Saint Mary and believes that the church and campus are truly the focal points of the Manhasset community. “We are a community of faith with a history of strong leadership,” said Symmons, adding that the parish serves beyond the walls of the church.

“What we hear inside the church we act out in society. People donate their time, their talents and treasures to the church at St. Mary’s.” On the campus side there is a combined 159 years of excellence in Catholic education. The elementary school was established in 1926 and the high school was established in 1949. To date, Symmons says that there are more than 15,000 alumnae of St. Mary’s. “We reference the schools together as the schools of St. Mary, but they are two separate divisions that flourish in an environment of academic excellence, inspired faith and creative learning,” she said. “Students are prepared to achieve their greatest academic potential as they grow in mind and spirit. We integrate Catholic values into our daily curriculum and promote an atmosphere of respect, tolerance and generosity.” With almost 3,200 families in the parish, making for a total of 11,300 plus parishioners, it is safe to say that a big chunk of the town is a part of St. Mary’s. With three full-time priests on staff and a weekend assistant, it is a large undertaking to manage day to day operations. But Rev. Fr. Robert A. Romeo, will always offer words of encouragement for those interested in becoming involved at the church. “We are a community of believers who through the Word and Sacrament,

live and proclaim the death and resurrection of Jesus,” he said. “We try to minister all of our families by becoming a place of welcome and joy.” Although modern times may have shaken the religious beliefs and practices of some, Symmons is a strong believer in the fact that faith-based education is still sought after. She also noted churches are no longer simply houses of worship, but a home base and platform for many events, fundraisers, teams and clubs. More than 1,000 children from the community are enrolled in the religious education program and about 1,200 are involved in CYO programs for basketball and volleyball. As for the sheer majestic beauty of the church, it is apparent the moment one walks through the bright red doors. The mission-style architecture of the church is an icon in the community and is proudly perched at the tip of Plandome Road. The interior greets guests with a center altar and suspended above it, a large wooden cross. But perhaps more striking in visual beauty, are the stained glass windows that adorn the perimeter of the church. “The stained glass windows depict several events of religious history. The colors are just magnificent, especially when the sun is shining through the windows during the day…it’s

breathtaking,” said Symmons of the feeling many get upon their first visit to the church. “I feel like I’m at home when I walk in the doors and I think that’s a feeling many people get.” “Our stained glass windows are certainly one of the jewels of our parish. The function of stained glass is to be a visual ‘Theology book,’” said Romeo. “Created at a time when the majority of people could not read or write, coming into a church, they could learn stories from the Bible through the visual adaptation of the windows.

It is a beautiful window that reminds us all that we have been entrusted with the message of Jesus Christ.” St. Mary’s can always rely on its parishioners to gather in strength and spirit. Whether it is providing services to seniors, caring for the sick or forming committees for events, the community pulls together to make things happen for the love of the church, and their faith. “People find St. Mary’s a place they can call home in times of trouble, but more importantly, as a place of comfort they know they can always receive with warmth and welcome,” said Symmons.

Gillibrand Calls For Manufacturing Education BY ANTON STAFF

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Chris Coons, and Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced the passage of a $20 million investment in a Department of Defense program to help universities in New York, Delaware, South Carolina and throughout the country strengthen their engineering

programs to meet the demands of the modern manufacturing industry in the Senate-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This program is modeled after the bipartisan Manufacturing Universities legislation championed by Gillibrand, Coons and Graham to support training at U.S. universities to help equip students with skills to compete in the 21st century manufacturing workforce. “I am very pleased that continued investment is being made in this critical job training program, and I was

proud to fight on the Armed Services Committee for it to be included in the NDAA,” said Gillibrand. “Many companies in our state have good-paying job openings that are ready to be filled, but there are still too many young workers and recent graduates who don’t have the specific skills they need to take on these opportunities. This DoD program, modeled after our Manufacturing Universities legislation, would go a long way toward closing that gap by giving universities more resources to train the next generation of manufacturing workers. I will always fight for New York’s workers, and I urge my colleagues in the House to join the Senate in supporting this investment.” “I am delighted that NDAA includes support for this critical DoD training program, modeled after our bipartisan Manufacturing Universities legislation, that will help students across the country acquire the skills they need for jobs in advanced manufacturing industries,” said Coons. “As the demand for a highly-skilled workforce continues to grow, the job training programs at universities need to keep up to ensure that students are equipped to excel in this growing field. I am proud to work with Senators Gillibrand and Graham on this important partnership.” “This is an incredibly important issue for institutions of higher education and manufacturing industries in South Carolina and the rest of the country,” said Graham. “I look forward to working on addition al, innovative ways to ensure our manufacturing sector thrives and maintains its international competitiveness in the years to come.” Universities and other participating organizations would be selected through a competitive grant-based process and required to better align their education programming with the needs of modern U.S. manufacturers, focusing engineering programs on development of industry-relevant advanced manufacturing skills, building new partnerships with manufacturing firms, growing hands-on training opportunities for students, and fostering manufacturing entrepreneurship.

The Catholic School Choice

41B

What’s right for your child?

BY COLLEEN MAIDHOF

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Given that Long Island has excellent public school districts funded by taxpayers, the choice to instead pay thousands of dollars for a parochial high school education is one parents don’t make lightly. Both parents and students have a lot to consider, including whether they want to integrate faith into their education, adhere to a required dress code and learn in a single-sex classroom. “It’s an investment, but there are a lot of benefits to going to a Catholic school if it’s right for the child,” said Christina Buehler, director of public relations at St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington. One consideration, Buehler said, is whether the parent and child want religion to be part of their high school experience. That is true for Julie Pellerito of Plandome, who has three children in Catholic school—one of whom is enrolled at St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset. She said that Catholic school prepares children academically and spiritually, and her family’s strong faith helped them make the choice. “The spiritual aspect in the learning environment is very important to my family and that is why we chose Catholic school,” she said. The strict discipline standards of Catholic schools were also important to Pellerito. “It teaches them responsibility and accountability,” she said. “They have to adhere to the rules of the

The teachers want your child to work to their full potential,” she said. Another factor to consider is the Catholic school dress code, as they require students to wear uniforms. “Students coming from a public school are used to picking their own clothes. But most new students quickly find out how much easier it is to wear a uniform because everyone is the same and they aren’t competing with one another,” said Margaret Myhan, director of marketing and a graduate of Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset. One of the other choices parents and students

Students from Kellenberg Memorial High School struggle with is whether to select a coed or single-gender school. Each has its own advantages. Buehler said that a coed school like St. Anthony’s High School mimics the public school environment. “An all-girls’ and all-boys’ high school has its own benefits,” she said. “In a coed school, students are interacting with their peers that are eventually going to be their coworkers and it’s a familiar classroom setting for them.” Myhan explained that an all-girls’ high school like Our Lady of Mercy is meant to empower young women. “Girls can excel in clubs, sports and extracurricular activities,” she said. “In the classroom, they can pursue areas like technology, sciences and math in which they may hesitate to

take a leadership role in if they had boys sitting beside them.” According to Myhan the curriculum is tailored specifically for young women and their faith. “They structure the curriculum so students have the greatest advantage to express their opinions openly and to grow their own intrinsic values and interests,” she said. Similarly, all-boys Chaminade High School in Mineola believes that family spirit and an atmosphere of positive Catholic commitment allows students to reach their full potential. Chaminade president Brother Thomas Cleary explained, “‘The Chaminade man does the right thing at the right time because it’s the right thing to do’—we repeat that phrase often to remind our students that their education goes beyond the academics.” There’s something for everyone at Chaminade, Cleary said, including more than 50 co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, interscholastic athletic teams and faith-based clubs and service organizations. In addition, all students will begin using Chaminade’s new Science, Technology and Research Center, slated to open this winter. “Careers in science, technology and research are growing exponentially, and those disciplines touch so many other fields in today’s workforce,” Cleary said. More than 22,000 alumni have graduated from Chaminade. Half the current enrollment comes from parochial schools, while the other half matriculate from public schools. “Our students, families, and teachers work together to make that transition successful— and balance the rigorous requirements of the

Myhan explained the classroom structure and studying emphasis is more rigorous when transferring from a public to a Catholic school.

“They learn in freshman class that they have to apply themselves in order to be successful and they learn study skills,” said Myhan. “Alumnae have come back and said what they learned here at the Academy made it easy for them to transition into college.” Regardless of what choice parents and students make, Buehler said the emphasis needs to be on an environment in which they can thrive. “It’s important that the student is in the right environment so they can succeed,” she explained. “It’s also important for the child and parent to determine what kind of school is best for them.” If a student is comfortable in their school, they will get involved. “A majority of our students don’t go home after school because they want to stay and take part in extracurricular activities,” Buehler said. “They want to socialize and continue learning after the final bell rings and be a part of our community.” —With additional reporting from Matthew Markham of Chaminade High School.

as they develop the character traits of great leaders and skilled team players, including 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 and every 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. The mission of the school is to empower students to find inspiration and joy as they discover themselves and learn what they are capable of accomplishing. Small class sizes foster a more personal connection between students and faculty. Faculty and administrators at St. Mary’s strive to educate the whole child – intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically.

The use of cutting-edge technology, including campus-wide wireless capabilities, an online system that allows students and parents to access homework and grades, and school-issued iPads for every student in sixth through twelfth grade, helps teachers provide students with a strong academic foundation. At the early childhood and primary grade levels, students actively explore concepts and develop skills through an interdisciplinary approach utilizing the latest technology, hands-on learning materials, and skill-related experiences. Students in grades 6-12 incorporate technology as an interactive tool that enables them to be independent learners while investigating research based learning. The St. Mary’s education is about more than just academics – spiritual values, a sense of service and the growth of faith are fostered by connecting Gospel values to all parts of the curriculum, including core academic

classes, allowing students at all grade levels to deepen their own moral standards and ethics. Students learn about the tenets and meaning of their faith and how to live it joyfully, especially in serving others within the school and greater community. The school day doesn’t end when the last bell rings – St. Mary’s becomes a vibrant after-school community as students at all grade levels participate in a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, exploring their talents and skills outside of academia.

Middle school and high school students gain an appreciation for the arts and develop their creativity through participation in the Fine and Performing Arts Program, taking classes in art, chorus, band, orchestra, dance or stage performance; performing arts students learn from and work alongside professionals in those fields, thanks to St. Mary’s collaboration with The Josephine Foundation. The Schools of St. Mary is also proud of its competitive athletics programs at the middle school and high school levels, which are highly regarded for both excellent coaching and superb sportsmanship.

St. Mary’s welcomes a diverse student body, consisting of students of many different faiths and cultural backgrounds, who come from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and several New York City boroughs including Queens and Brooklyn.

The Schools of Saint Mary will host an Open House for Admissions for grades N-12 on Sunday, October 15 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Prospective families will have the opportunity to view the facilities and meet with current St. Mary’s teachers, administrators, students and parents.

Parker Jewish Celebrates Grandparents’ Day BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation hosted Grandparents’ Day on Sunday, Sept. 17, a gala event that honors the contributions of older adults from Queens and Long Island. Grandparents’ Day, a national holiday and annual tradition at Parker Jewish Institute, gives family and friends an opportunity to visit and enjoy a special day. Parker Jewish Institute has been holding a Grandparents’ Day celebration for over a decade, surprising all who attend with new activities and games added each year. “This is an annual event that everyone at Parker looks forward to—the residents, patients as well as the community. We capture the thrill of a carnival, as well as the joy that can be had at any age,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, president and CEO at Parker. Lina Scacco, assistant vice president of corporate outreach and development added, “We support the concept of ‘healthy aging’ and that means having fun and staying connected socially, enjoying time with family and friends—we accomplish this with the creative and heartwarming events that our renowned Therapeutic Recreation Department creates for all to enjoy.” Approximately 200 Parker residents, family and

friends enjoyed the many festivities at this year’s event, which included a clown, a man on stilts, face-painting, corn dogs and cotton candy, photo booth, bounce house, live music, a petting zoo and even a psychic. “We always try to find interesting games for the kids, things that the residents can participate in,” said Kathleen Keegan, director of therapeutic recreation. “What really thrills our residents is the petting zoo, which is such a treat for all ages. When our residents see farm animals coming in, they love it. And, they love seeing the kids that come to this event, their smiling faces bring such joy to all—the cotton candy doesn’t hurt either.” Grandparents’ Day, proclaimed a national holiday in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter, is celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It was the brainchild of Marian McQuade, who was the vice-chair of the West Virginia Commission on Aging and delegate to the White House Conference on Aging. Like McQuade, Michael N. Rosenblut hopes that the many grandchildren who attended can learn from the insight and traditions their grandparents provide at the Grandparents’ Day event. “It’s very important to us at Parker to celebrate the past and the future of our residents,” Rosenblut said.

Heroes Revealed

Museum exhibits the trial and capture of Adolf Eichmann BY LISA SCHIFFMAN

EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Adolf Eichmann, the man responsible for the planning and implementation of the Nazis’ “Final Solution” to annihilate European Jewry during World War II, might have lived out his days after the war as Ricardo Klement in Argentina had it not been for the fateful intervention of a German Jewish refugee, his daughter, and Israel’s foreign intelligence service. The dramatic story of Eichmann’s capture, extradition and trial in Israel, where he was found guilty and executed for “crimes against the Jewish people,” in 1962, is told in a multimedia exhibition that opened recently at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Lower Manhattan: Operation Finale: The Capture & Trial of Adolf Eichmann. The exhibition, which runs through Dec. 22, is a co-production of Beit Hatfutsot—The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv; the Mossad Israeli Secret Intelligence Service; and the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. Operation Finale is relevant today, 55 years after Eichmann’s trial, as memories of World War II fade, and the population of Holocaust survivors dwindles, said curator and former Mossad agent Avner Avraham. “The story of the Holocaust is the biggest crime against humanity,” he said. “Never again—we must tell what happened to a new generation.” The exhibition, first shown in Israel, Ohio and Illinois before its debut in New York, “is part of the Museum of Jewish Heritage’s core mission is to teach a diverse audience about the events of the Holocaust” and the dangers of intolerance, said Erica Blumenfeld, director of Collections and Exhibitions at the museum. “Operation Finale was the Mossad’s code name for it’s top secret mission to capture Eichmann, said Avraham. The exhibition is composed of three sections: an introduction that details the prewar political and economic climate in Germany that led to the rise of fascism and Adolf Hitler; the Mossad mission; and Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem. Otto Adolf Eichmann, born in 1906 in Germany, grew up in Austria. A poor student, Eichmann left school and found work as a salesman for an oil company before losing his job during the depression. He joined the Nazi party in 1932, then the SS (Schutzstaffel) paramilitary

Eichmann’s logistical skills helped his career rise in the SD (Sicherheitsdienst) security and intelligence service in Berlin. Jews, Slavs, Roma, homosexuals, the mentally impaired and others thought to be of inferior races, were targets for genocide. At the Wannsee Conference in 1942, the Nazis adopted the “Final Solution” to the Jewish question. On display in the exhibition is a report prepared and signed by Eichmann that was presented at the meeting, detailing the number of Jews from each European country to be exterminated. As head of Gestapo’s Department of Jewish Affairs, Eichmann zealously planned the logistics for the transport of Jews to killing centers in Poland and the Soviet Union. Even as Germany

Adolf Eichmann at trial, 1961 was losing the war, Eichmann implemented the transport of more than 400,000 Hungarian Jews to their deaths at Auschwitz. After the war ended in 1945, Eichmann was detained in two American POW camps, yet managed to escape to Northern Germany, where he hid until 1950. With the aid of a network of former SS officers and Catholic Church authorities, Eichmann traveled to Italy, where he obtained a Red Cross Humanitarian passport under the alias Ricardo Klement and sailed to Argentina—his wife and children would join him two years later. Eichmann held a series of low-paying jobs until securing a position at a Mercedes-Benz factory. Eichmann’s identity was discovered in 1956, after a chance meeting between

Former Mossad agent Avner Avraham Lothar Hermann—a German Jewish refugee who had fled to Argentina after being imprisoned in Dachau before the war—and his daughter Sylvia’s boyfriend. Hermann became convinced that the young man, who called himself Nick Eichmann, was Klaus Eichmann, the son of the fugitive Nazi war criminal. Hermann conveyed this information to Dr. Fritz Bauer, also a survivor and the chief prosecutor of the German State of Hesse, who then shared this information with the head of the Israeli delegation in Cologne, who relayed it to the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service. Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion asked Mossad chief Isser Harel to organize a secret operation

EXHIBITION from page 18A to capture Eichmann and smuggle him to Israel for a public trial. The Mossad’s code name for Eichmann became Dybbuk—demon in Jewish folklore. Carrying false identities and tourist maps of Buenos Aires, the 11-member team flew to Argentina in April 1960, where, living in rented apartments and switching cars frequently, they shadowed Eichmann, learning his routine. The 130 recently declassified artifacts on display from the Mossad archives, which include maps, case files, forged documents, surveillance photos and other predigital espionage tools, reveal how the team abducted Eichmann near his home in a Buenos Aires suburb, and flew him to Israel aboard an El Al plane. Period radios are on display, along with recordings from around the world in different languages announcing Eichmann’s capture, including Ben-Gurion’s announcement to the Knesset on May 23, 1960. In a reconstructed trial space is the bulletproof glass booth Eichmann sat in during the trial. Visitors can watch video images of the trial projected on three screens, of the prosecution, witness testimony and Eichmann’s unemotional response. In a reconstructed trial space is the bulletproof glass booth Eichmann sat in during the trial. Avraham, who is working now on

a book about Eichmann and has an advisory role in an upcoming MGM film on the subject, said that since the exhibition’s opening, people have reached out to Avraham about their families’ connection to the mission of trial. Tom Hurwitz, a New York documentary cinematographer, recalls his father Leo Hurwitz, who was hired by Israeli producer Milton Fruchtman as a television producer for the trial. “My father had been one of the inventors of live TV production at CBS when it came into existence just after the war,” said Hurwitz. “The Eichmann trial was the first trial televised live. He used advanced techniques in which witnesses, judges and Eichmann were seen in close up and cut against each other. That added tremendous drama to the televising of the trial.” The trial, televised worldwide, had a profound impact on public perception of the Holocaust and survivors, Avraham said, particularly in Israel. “Until then, Holocaust survivors didn’t share their stories,” he said. “People in Israel thought, ‘Why didn’t you fight?’ There were more than 100 witnesses. Their stories of survival were open to kids and neighbors who started thinking that these people were heroes and not people who didn’t fight.”

Stay Vigilant About Prostate Cancer BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF EDITORIAL@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

Every 3.3 minutes a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 3 million men and their families are fighting the disease today, making it the most common cancer in men in the country. In Nassau County more than 1,100 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. Gunther Merz, an 81-years-young father and husband from Bayville was one of them. Gunther, an active and otherwise healthy man, was shocked when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2007 following a routine physical exam. He hadn’t experienced any symptoms and had no family history of the disease, but a standard blood test revealed rising levels of a specific protein in the blood that can indicate prostate cancer, also referred to as a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. “My primary care physician had been checking my PSA levels routinely for years and never had any concerns until that day,” Gunther said recalling that fateful day 10 years ago. “He immediately referred me to a specialist who confirmed my diagnosis and prescribed hormone treatment to keep

my PSA levels from climbing further, and prevent spread of the cancer to other areas of my body.” Most prostate cancers are first found as a result of an irregular PSA blood test or a digital rectal exam (DRE). Once diagnosed, PSA testing is useful in determining the stage of a man’s disease and if more sensitive imaging tests, such as CT scans or bone scans, are needed to verify if the cancer has spread beyond the prostate. “With improved screening techniques and treatment advances we’ve been able to substantially reduce the mortality associated with prostate cancer, but until recently we did not have much to offer men if first line therapy proved ineffective,” said Deepak A. Kapoor, M.D., a urologist from Advanced Urology Centers of New York based in Melville. “The good news is that in the last few years we’ve made significant strides so now we can offer treatment options to men with advanced prostate cancer that are clinically proven to extend life.” Having lost his first wife to breast cancer, Gunther was no stranger to cancer and knew all too well what his diagnosis could mean. For eight years Gunther’s disease remained stable, but when his PSA began to climb again a

to extend survival in certain cancer patients. “Testing is critical throughout the prostate cancer journey—even after an initial diagnosis,” added Kapoor. “If you are seeing meaningful changes in your PSA, it’s important to have testing which will determine if your disease has progressed. Even small changes in your PSA may indicate that you are a candidate for certain prostate cancer treatments.” Ten years after his diagnosis, Gunther continues to undergo treatment for Deepak A. Kapoor, M.D., a urologist from his prostate cancer while running the Advanced Urology Centers of New York family business with his son and enjoys based in Melville. spending his free time walking the bone scan confirmed that his disease streets of Manhattan to “stay moving.” had spread. While his physician made “I’m grateful that my prostate cancer it clear that Gunther would not be was diagnosed before it was too late. cured of his disease, hope was offered I realize that not all men are this in the form of new treatments that have fortunate and I feel compelled to share led to a growing population of men my story in the hopes of encouraging living long term with prostate cancer other men—and their loved ones—to that has spread or become metastatic. be proactive about early detection for When his physician recommended prostate cancer, and to get educated tackling his cancer with a new form on testing and advances in treatment,” of treatment for certain patients with Gunther said. “I thought this would advanced prostate cancer called imnever happen to me.

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday ARIES (March 21-April 19). What polishes the jewel to brilliance? Friction. The best cleaner fluid in the world won’t work without friction, but friction will work without any cleaning fluid. Remember this as you get into the work this week. It’s not about finding the perfect solution; it’s about meeting the opposing forces again and again.

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND The Island State Solution: 33 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You interpret what’s going on inside you with the pictures and language of your mind, but those impulses are purer than words and visuals. Stop translating and just feel. It may help to move your body more, as this has a way of shutting up the internal chatter. Movement is the true language of feeling. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sure, the obstacles have something to teach you, but you already knew that. Also, you’re pretty sure they’re going to show up on their own whim and without regard to your preferences. So why in the world would you seek the hard road on purpose? Instead, just seek the road you think you might enjoy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The first move is something to very carefully consider, as there can only be one. That said, the most important thing about any first move is that it is, in fact, made. So don’t go back and forth hemming and hawing, debating yourself into inaction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t wait to be chosen. If you wait to be chosen you will be, and that’s a problem because in that scenario you won’t get the chance to choose yourself. Instead you’ll be swept into someone else’s narrative and you’ll never know the story you would have made if you had to invent it yourself from scratch. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel how you feel, and there’s really not a lot you can do about that. Sure, you could decide to feel differently, but, unfortunately, deciding doesn’t always make it so. Instead of trying to be the authority over your feelings, accept them. Get to know them. Interact with them. Influence is gained through understanding. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are where you are, and you don’t get anywhere else by calling it something different or wishing it were “over there” instead. Accept your current place as the starting point. There’s something to work through this week that can’t be jumped over or gotten around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Fitness isn’t just for the body; it’s for the soul, too. Heavy feelings are like heavy weights. They can be good for you when you’re ready for them. Deal with a little at a time and work up to the big stuff. Lifting heavy feelings (but not too heavy) will build your emotional muscle tone this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Wisdom is the ability to see in the moment what most people only realize in retrospect. You’ll be wise this week. There will be a temptation to speak your wisdom to those who need it -- though, paradoxically, that would be unwise, since people rarely follow advice. Turn your wisdom to your own life instead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s always a trade-off when you’re dealing with people. You trade a sense of belonging for a piece of your independence. You trade security for freedom. You trade creativity for validation, pure expression for acceptance. These trades are necessary and just part of life, but they are better made consciously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A good part of the week will be devoted to trying to figure out if the feelings you’re having are the same as the feelings those around you are having. This won’t be something you can schedule; rather it’s what happens organically as you go about your business in the world of working and living with others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They say that variety is the spice of life -accurate. Spices rarely have nutritional value. An exclusive diet of cinnamon and cayenne and cumin would lead to certain death. Just be careful not to confuse the exciting thing for the main dish this week and you’ll do better than fine.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAY

It’s the repeated things that give life a sense of flow. You’ll be upgrading some of those main pillars of your life -- the daily habits that sustain you -in order to move with more confidence and grace through your days. There’s something you’ll set up once in January, and it will pay you back for many years to come. March begins a new chapter for relationships. Your hobbies will change. You’ll be paid for something you do for fun, or you’ll start having more fun with what you’re paid to do. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

here are a few New York City institutions that are worth trudging through tourists in order to experience—the Empire State Building is not one of these institutions. What is undoubtedly worth the time, effort, cash and crowd is the Big Apple’s seminal source of classic Jewish comfort food, Katz’s Delicatessen. Katz’s began as a small deli in New York’s Lower East Side and has since gained legendary status as part of the city’s cultural palate, particularly with its trifecta of almost mythical sandwiches: pastrami, corned beef and brisket, all on rye. Customers cannot go wrong with any one of these three delectably decadent meat-delivery systems. Here’s a less-than-definitive ranking of my three favorite Katz’s sandwiches, ranked from most-treasured, to slightly less-treasured to definitely still-treasured-just-not-as-much.

No. 1

Pastrami on rye, mustard

Katz’s homemade pastrami on rye is one of the world’s most celebrated sandwiches, period. Cured for two-to-four weeks and rubbed with a blend of proprietary spices before it is smoked for about three days and finally boiled and then steamed, the pastrami at Katz’s is a true labor of love. Piled onto rye with a loving balance of fat and lean, it is also a flavor of love. The addition of spicy brown mustard

cuts through the saltiness for a bite that touches all the senses in all the right ways. If you like your pastrami a little fatty, but feel weird saying “fatty,” ask for it “juicy” and the counterman will get it.

No. 2

Brisket on rye, gravy side

No. 3

Corned beef on rye, mustard

From the preparation to the taste, brisket is vastly different from pastrami. But Katz’s care and strict adherence to the process results in a brisket sandwich good enough to make one reconsider ordering pastrami on rye for the 30th time in a row. The brisket at Katz’s is slow roasted in Grandma’s gravy and boasts a deep, rich flavor that is serene and comforting. Some prefer to swap out rye bread for a club roll—that is completely acceptable with the brisket sandwich. Ask for a side of gravy for dipping, as there can never be too much Grandma’s gravy in life. Throw in a half-sour pickle for cool refreshment in between mouthfuls of beef. The corned beef at Katz’s is cured for 30 full days before it even sees a slicing knife, ensuring a complex profile of flavors and some of the most tender bites of beef ever committed to sandwich form. While it doesn’t pack as much chutzpah as the pastrami, the corned beef has garnered a wellearned following at Katz’s as a timeless throwback and an always-reliable option. Take the sandwich to the limit by making it a Reuben with Swiss cheese

Choosing between Katz’s pastrami, corned beef and brisket is difficult. (Photo source: Facebook) and sauerkraut. While it certainly isn’t kosher, the Reuben is a mountain of a sandwich that can be a challenge to finish—but when it’s from Katz’s, the challenge is more delicious than daunting.

Sam Rosen’s Top Sports Moments BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ver since Sam Rosen was hired to be the New York Rangers’ full-time television play-by-play man in 1984, he’s been a tri-state sports fixture. And while he’s most readily associated with both teams that call Madison Square Garden home, the Stuyvesant High School/CCNY alum was employed by ESPN from 1979 to 1988 and also broadcast play-by-play duties for NHL Radio, the NBC Sports Network and The NFL on Fox. Rosen shares a few of his most memorable moments from his illustrious career. New York Rangers Win The Stanley Cup (June 14, 1994)

“The Rangers winning the Stanley Cup in 1994 will always be number one. That was the highlight and the greatest moment. For me to broadcast that game was so memorable because it was the last year the team’s broadcasters could stay with the team through the Finals. After that, the Finals became exclusive to the television network that had the rights. That was the greatest moment and of course as a Rangers fan, the end of all those years from 1940 to 1994.”

New York Rangers Defeat The New Jersey Devils In Game 7 (May 27, 1994) “Game 7 Rangers and Devils Eastern

Conference Final may have been the best game that I ever broadcast because of the tension involved and the nervousness of how close the Rangers came to winning it in regulation. They were 7.7 seconds away and then the Devils tied it. Then they went to a second overtime. That game is known for, of course, Howie Rose’s fabulous call of ‘Matteau, Matteau,’ I think that my call with J.D. was pretty cool. It won’t be memorialized. Howie’s was special and just captured everything at that moment.”

New York Knicks Win First Championship (May 8, 1970)

“I didn’t broadcast, but I was at the Knicks two championships. I was the statistician for the Knicks Radio Network and I was at both those championships—1970 and 1973. I remember Willis Reed in 1970, walking out onto the court and hitting two baskets. I also remember that one of the greatest playoff performances ever took place in that Game 7 with Walt Frazier. He had one of the greatest playoff performances ever. Everybody remembers the excitement of Willis Reed coming out, but Frazier took the game over and the one that literally carried the Knicks. But being there as a statistician was great.”

“I was more of a sideline reporter for ABC when Wayne Gretsky played his last game ever and that was at Madison Square Garden. [I remember] watching Wayne give sticks to different people—people on the training staff of the Rangers. Sticking around in the locker room and not taking his uniform off after the game for a long time because that was the last moment.”
