Mary Parisen speaks at last week’s forum.

A forum to discuss railroad issues in Queens left attendants wondering— how can we make a change?

The Civics United for Railroad Environmental Solutions (CURES) held a meeting on Thurs., Sept.

27 at St. Pancras’ Pfeiffer Hall that sparked debate regarding possible solutions for trains running from Long Island through Fresh Pond Yard.

CURES co-chair Mary Parisen said that many of the cars coming from Long Island carry demolition debris with thin netting and harmful air pollutants.

12:30 p.m.

Wednesday Some of the rail cars also idle near people’s homes in Middle Village, posing • Preschool Storytime a potential health threat to Queens Library residents in the area.

With approximately 69-70 Grand Avenue 15 attendants, Maspeth residents questioned why more people had not come to the meeting. Some felt that a protest might be the first step in the right direction.

However, Robert Holden, the Juniper Park Civic Association president, felt that taking legal action could provide better results.

Holden said a lawsuit under the Clean Air Act could bring a temporary solution. “We don’t know what our rights are now because we haven’t tested it,” Holden said, who added that noise and pollution from the rail cars was dangerous to local residents.

Yet, members questioned if current circumstances could provide relief under any type of legal action.

Parisen stressed that because the State of New York owns the locomotives, there needed to be changes involved with federal law.

Community Board 5 and

Assemblyman Catherine Nolan have written a letter on behalf of CURES, according to Parisen, requesting that ownership is granted to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for the locomotives.

Elizabeth Crowley’s chief of staff, Lydon Sleeper, said he felt that working with the Port Authority could provide a positive outcome.

“We need to consider a community benefits agreement,” Sleeper said, who felt that using funds from the Port Authority to put up sound barriers and other protective measures where rail cars pass could provide relief.

With the railway system in limbo, one thing was clear.

“This is a very complicated issue,” Parisen said.

Upcoming CB5 meetings Community Board 5 will hold its monthly board meeting on Wednesday, October 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of Christ the King High School, 68-02 Metropolitan Avenue, in Middle Village.

The agenda includes the chairperson’s report, including budget priorities and liquor license applications, and staff and committee reports, as well as a public forum. People interested in speaking should contact the board’s office at (718) 366-1834.

And on Monday, October 15, in conjunction with Community Board 4, the Health and Human Services Committee of Community Board 5 will meet to discuss the financial health of hospital in Queens, as well as discuss the impacts of the Health Care Reform Act on medical facilities.

The meeting will take place in the Office of the Queens Borough President, Queens Borough Hall, 12055 Queens Boulevard, in Kew Gardens. It will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Real Estate CLASSIFIED OBITUARY News OPINION BQE ENT.DINING SERVICE SPORTS LOOK! what’s popping up in taxis

NEWS BRIEFS and hate crimes before undergoing field training and school orientation.

Opening Hart Island

(New York City) The city last week extended its LOOK! safety campaign to combat the dangers of “dooring”— crashes caused when a car door is opened into the path of a bike rider— using new eye-catching decals affixed to taxi passenger windows.

More than 26,000 eye-catching, orange-and-white window stickers reading “LOOK! For Cyclists” were made available to the city’s 13,000 yellow-taxi fleet, which provide some 200 million rides citywide a year.

This extends the campaign that kicked off two weeks ago bringing “LOOK!” street markings to 200 high-crash crosswalks citywide and a concurrent ad campaign “This safety campaign takes the message to New Yorkers and visitors that you need to take a second and take a look around whenever you get out of a car,” said Department of Transportation CommissionerJanette Sadik-Khan.

(New York City) Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, chair of the Fire and Criminal Justice Services Committee, held a hearing on two bills that will increase transparency over New York City’s operation of the potter’s field in Hart Island.

Since 1869, the City of New York has used Hart Island as a burial ground for the deceased who were unclaimed, unidentified, or whose

relatives could not afford a private burial.

More than 850,000 people have been buried at Hart Island, and there are approximately 1,000 new burials each year. Currently, the Department of Correction (DOC) operates and maintains the cemetery.

During an oversight hearing last October about practices at Hart Island, it was discovered that it was extremely difficult for relatives to visit the island or even determine if a relative was interned at the cemetery.

One piece of legislation

would require the Department of Correction to compile and publicly list an electronic database of people buried at Hart Island since 1977, while another bill would mandate the department to clearly state its visitation policy in writing and make it available online and to anyone who requests it.

Two additional bills designed to fully open Hart Island to the public would establish a regular ferry service, open to the public, between City Island and Hart Island, and another would transfer control over Hart Island from the Department of Correction to the Parks Department.

“For too long, relatives have had to jump through hoops to get answers from the DOC,” said Crowley.

“Ultimately, Hart Island should be fully open to the public.”

Wheel in the sky will soon be turning

Safety agents ready to hit the classrooms (New York City) City schools are about to get a little safer.

One-hundred and forty-one new School Safety Agents graduated in a ceremony at Police Headquarters last Wednesday. The new graduates will be assigned throughout New York City’s approximately 1,700 public schools, serving over 1 million students and faculty.

“If there’s any branch of the Police Department that can be said to impact the future of the city, it is our School Safety Division,” said Police commissioner Ray Kelly “Young people cannot get the education they need and teachers cannot perform their jobs effectively unless they are safe.”

School Safety Agents are civilian members of the NYPD with special patrolmen status. Their 15-week training is held at the New York City Police Academy where they learn topics including Police and Behavioral Sciences, as well as metal detection, visitor control procedure, routine and crisis situations, cultural diversity, tactical communications

(Staten Island) The city last week unveiled plans to build the world’s largest Ferris wheel in Staten Island. The development will include a new retail complex and hotel on sites adjacent to Richmond County Bank Ballpark in St. George.

The New York Wheel will be built just to the north of the ballpark and be 625 feet tall – 84 feet higher than the Singapore Flyer, currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. It will also be taller than the planned “High Roller” wheel for the Las Vegas Strip, which is set to rise to 550 feet.

The New York Wheel will be comprised of thirty-six capsules,

each able to carry up to 40 passengers with a max capacity of 1,440 people per ride. The wheel is expected to welcome as many as 30,000 riders per day during peak season and an estimated 4.5 million visitors per year.

The city also announced plans

by BFC Partners to construct Harbor Commons, a 350,000square-foot retail complex featuring 100 designer outlet stores and a 120,000-square-foot hotel on the site to the south of the ballpark.

“The New York Wheel will be an attraction unlike any other in New York City – even unlike any other on the planet,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “It will offer unparalleled and breathtaking

views, and is sure to become one of the premier attractions in New York City.”

The New York Wheel is expected be open 7 days a week, 365 days per year (except on severe weather days and required maintenance days) from roughly 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the fall, winter and spring.

Rides will last roughly 38 minutes.

In the summer, and on special occasions, the Wheel will stay open for longer hours.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2014, with the goal of hosting a grand opening by the end of 2015. The Wheel’s designer and manufacturer will be Starneth, comprised of members of the team that built the London Eye.

Pol Position

This time, the pols get to do the grilling You could call it Iron Chef Brooklyn.

For as much as we can tell, Councilman Brad Lander and State Senator Daniel Squadron, whose districts overlap in Brooklyn, are on friendly working terms when it comes to passing bills, criticizing government bureaucracy, and engaging in all other matters of politics.

But when it comes to making the best burger, there is no love

lost between these two!

A few weeks back, Squadron and Lander squared off in a burger battle worthy of Top Chef at the Carroll Gardens Greenmarket at the corner of Smith and Carroll streets.

Dubbed the Better Burger Challenge, each pol was assisted by sous chefs – high schoolers from the Brooklyn School for Collaborative Studies – as they tried to best each other’s meat

patty. Shoppers at the greenmarket got to participate in the taste test and vote for their favorite burger.

So who’s cuisine in the end reigned supreme?

Well, apparently Squadron knows his way around a hamburger. In the end, his burger was tops among voters, but it was close as he only beat Lander by seven votes.

His burger booty? The coveted Golden Spatula Award.

State Senator Daniel Squadron and his assistants burn one, take it through the garden and pin a rose on it.

(That’s fry daddy speak for a burger with lettuce and tomato, for all of you folks out there who have never manned a professional grill.)

Stupid is what stupid does Dear Editor: Are the American people stupid? Why did they reelect Roosevelt four times when he presided over the Great Depression for eight years - the eight years before we entered into World War

Two. When he was elected there were 11,586,000 unemployed. In 1939, seven years later when the war struck in Europe, there were still 11,396,000 persons unemployed.

When he was elected in 1932, there were 4,155,000 households with 16,620,000 persons on relief. In 1939, seven years later, there were 4,227,000 households with 19,648,000 persons on relief.

The thing that saved us from a continuation of the Great Depression was that we won the war and the rest of the world was a mess. More importantly, we had better leadership immediately following the war.

I ask again, why did the American people re-elect Roosevelt three times with

such a disastrous record?

Well, as bad as he was in handling the economy that’s how good he was at conning the voters. He ran against Hover each time and he blamed Hoover over and over each time for his failures. Does that sound familiar?

We are now facing the reelection of another loserwho has followed Roosevelt’s moves exactly. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Are we going to reproduce the Great Depression by believing that Obama will do anything different then he has done in the last four years?

Blog WATCH 7 leaves many stranded

Hundreds of Sunnyside and Woodside residents were left stranded this morning after discovering that the No. 7 train had closed in both directions.

An MTA worker said that the electricity had gone down on both tracks at about 8:00am and there was no service between Times Square and Flushing– in either direction. At that time, many Sunnyside and Woodside residents were directed toward the Q60 or Q32 bus, since there were no shuttles buses on hand. Residents waited in long lines for the bus along Queens Blvd.

At about 10:30, the No. 7 train service was partially restored with service in both directions. However, there was no service between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square in either direction.

Additionally, Manhattan-bound 7 train riders were unable to transfer to the N train at

Queensboro Plaza, which is the typical route between Queens and Manhattan when there are disruptions.

Residents decided to travel to Queensboro Plaza and then walk over to Queens Plaza to catch the E train to Manhattan.

However, these trains were back up.

However, by the end of the day, No. 7 train service had been fully restored, although there were delays. from sunnysidepost.com

Guest Op-Ed

Why Unions Matter Alyssa Dolan

The most significant event in my childhood was the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. I recall the confusion, fear, and apprehension that I experienced as a second grader that day.

I vividly remember seeing the red car pull up in front of my house that day, and my father walking out of it with his fellow union workers. I ran out the front door and into my father’s arms, but was told that he was going back to Ground Zero with his co-workers to help with the rescue and cleanup. Although tears filled my eyes and streamed down my face, it was that day that I realized what actually encompasses a union worker.

As a young child, I playfully chanted union slogans and attended rallies with my father, a union steamfitter, despite having no idea what we were marching for. I never realized what the numbers “638” on my father’s clothing meant and why it was so important to him.

After the terror attacks, I finally understood why unions mattered.

Every union and every construction local in the New York City area worked together to help rescue and aid the communities and families affected by the tragedy.

Determined members, accompanied with cumbersome equipment and supplies, worked around the clock to assist the rescue and recovery at Ground Zero. These heroic individuals disregarded the dangers and uncertainty of the situation.

Illustrating a Point

The benefit of union labor can be seen every day as well. Unions provide stability, strength, and trained and skilled labor to those around them. Businesses utilizing union labor reflect a consistent workforce with little or no turnover.

Employees work harder and are rewarded with established benefits as well as a secure future for themselves and for their loved ones.

Discipline, dedication, skillfulness, and pride grow out of this strong association.

My growth from childhood into young adulthood has been greatly affected by the amazing union members whom I have encountered over the years. My beliefs and values have been shaped by their efforts and by the discipline that I continue to see each day.

I think back to those days where I was a young child marching around with union workers and their families while innocently shouting the memorized slogan. Now, however, I realize how significant those steps that I marched were.

Those marched steps were not just tedious walking – they were steps to a brighter future. Those chanted words were not just a catchy slogan – they were the backbone behind American society. And those workers surrounding me were not just day-to-day acquaintances – they were family. They were my family.

Alyssa Dolan lives in Middle Village.

‘Trigger Laws’ Get Education Issues Half-Right Anthony Stasi Trigger laws, the idea that parents can take over a troubled school, is going to be dominating political conversations in the coming weeks.

The national election might drown it out, but the newly released movie Won’t Back Down is going to get people talking. The movie focuses on two moms who fight to take over a failing school. They utilize a trigger law where they can take over the decision-making process of their children’s school.

With trigger laws, parents need to have 51 percent of the vote among all parents to establish a “no confidence” vote on the current school administration. Nobody can argue that parents do not have a right to take on a school in their neighborhood. Seven states have trigger laws, or are in the process of passing them. Popular mayors support these laws. But are they good policy? Would they bring about better schools?

The idea of parents voting to oust the current administration is good for getting rid of the under-performers, but what is the mechanism to make the school better. Parents are not professional educators, and they would be at a loss as to how to build a better school.

The best way to implement trigger laws is to allow parents the voting rights to remove a current administration, followed by handing off the rebuilding to an independent city agency that includes community boards, parents, and the schools chancellor. You want the community boards and the chancellor in on the process because it gives the system accountability.

Trigger laws are good, and more importantly, getting rid of them would show a weakness in a growing chorus of parents who are tired of the insulated aspect of public education. These laws work well in one direction – getting rid of entrenched under-performers.

The laws need help in the second stage of rebuilding, however. You build a school with innovation, new ideas, and high standards. Trigger laws need to have an independent panel component added to them in order to complete the process of transitioning from a weak school to a high-standard school.

Fixing schools is no longer a

long-term plan, because it is not fair to parents. Their children do not have five years to wait for a school to right its course. Every year counts.

R.I.P. John Silber John Silber, the former president of Boston University, died last week. Silber ran for governor of Massachusetts in 1990, losing a close race to Republican William Weld.

Boston University went from an obscure,underperforming institution to the impressive university that it is today under his leadership. He did this by taking bold stances with faculty and standards. He was not politically correct by any means, and that is what ultimately cost him the governorship.

The reason why remembering Silber in political circles is important is because he represents a tipping point in American politics.

He wanted no part of the fringy elements of what is now candycoated as political correctness.

Weld was the more liberal candidate in that race. Silber was the last of an older breed of Democrat.

Ten years earlier, he would have won that race without a problem.

Even in 1990, he only lost by 77,000 votes.

Silber was not warm and fuzzy, but he was the kind of Democrat that many of our fathers and grandfathers were. Strong policy had to bring results, not flowery language. Politics has changed since then, and Silber was right on the cusp of that change. A few years earlier, he would have been governor; a few years later and he would not even have won a primary.

If a man is remembered for his contributions, Silber not only turned Boston University around, he made the degrees that his graduates earned worth a whole lot more.

A degree from Boston University opens doors today.

Silber, not without his faults, brought about positive change. He was a thinking man’s public figure in a working man’s Democratic Party.

Radha Patel Right Rides Most people don’t think twice about how they get home at night— but not Radha Patel.

“If we’re able to give people a free ride home, that makes me excited,” she said.

Patel is the executive director of Right Rides, an organization that builds safer communities by ending gender-based harassment and sexual assault through offering women and LGBTQ individuals a free and safe ride home in 45 neighborhoods across four boroughs. Rides are available on Friday and Saturday nights from 11:59 p.m. to 3 a.m.

“Every single week I’m reminded of how important we are,” Patel said, who stressed that women or members of the LGBTQ community were more likely to be harassed while taking public transit.

A native of San Francisco, Patel said she was in between jobs when she learned about the organization this summer. “I’d known about the group, but I’d never called before because I was always able to take a cab home,” she said.

After receiving an offer for the position, she jumped at the chance to be part of Right Rides.

Patel said the office greatly depends on the efforts of its volunteers, who work as navigators, dispatchers and drivers for the organization. “It is because of them that we can do as much as we do,” Patel said.

Right Rides also works in conjunction with the organization Zip Cars, a car sharing company that rents vehicles by the hour.

With an eye on the future, Patel is hoping to expand the number of people who are helped through Right Rides.

“Sometimes we can’t pick up as many people as we’d like to because we don’t have the capacity just yet,” Patel said. “But we’re planning on extending our volunteer base so we can recruit more volunteers and get more fundraising started.”

(Kathleen Lees) To find out more about their organization, visit their website at rightrides.org. Or for a safe ride home, call (888)-215-7233.

No end in sight for flooding woes If you were hoping that the flooding you’ve been experiencing recently every time the city is hit with heavy downpour was going to come to an end, you’re likely to be seriously disappointed.

Representatives from the Department of Environmental Protection visited Forest Hills last week – just one of the many neighborhoods across Queens and Brooklyn that deals with sewer backups during strong storms – and essentially told residents there was no relief in sight from the flooding.

This is terrible news for homeowners, who are forced to deal with the mix of raw sewage and rainwater that comes back into

their homes when the sewer system becomes overwhelmed with water.

DEP officials told residents that when the system was planned out in the 1960s, it was capable of handling the water. But stronger storms - and we suspect overdevelopment that has replaced open spaces, which could soak up rainwater, with concrete - have taxed the system.

According to DEP reps, planning and replacing the sewer system in the city would take decades and just isn’t feasible. So in the meantime, there is nothing that can be done.

We accept that replacing the entire sewer system isn’t feasible, but we don’t buy the answer that nothing can be done.

We believe that there are talented people working at DEP, and with a little ingenuity and hard work, some stopgap measures can be put in place to at least alleviate some of the flooding issues.

Even if that requires putting some of the onus on homeowners, DEP should work with residents to find solutions. We’re sure that if the city could promise some sort of permanent solution – obviously there will be some weather events that just can’t be foreseen – we’re sure homeowners would do their part.

A city like New York shouldn’t be brought to its knees following every spring shower or summer afternoon thunderstorm.

Eyesore of the Week

This is a pretty big wall near the intersection of 19th Avenue and 37th Street in Astoria, let’s just hope more vandals don’t find out about all the space they could ruin with their graffiti.

Art fest takes over the streets of DUMBO

Now in it’s 16th year, The DUMBO Arts Festival turned the streets of DUMBO into an art gallery last weekend with unique presentations for people of all ages.

The Tobacco Warehouse was taken over by the Children’s Museum of the Arts, where children were able to paint over a canvas showing a transformation of art.

Adults experienced photography from all over the world and artwork with a twist. One piece of art made of wood, which overlooked the

Brooklyn Bridge, had a solar panel on the top of it and cables for cell phones sticking out the sides, making it a popular destination.

With restaurants, small business and flea markets all operating around the DUMBO Art Festival, those in attendance received a bit of culture and just about anything else they wanted last weekend.

Peter Frolich, co-owner of Aegir Boardworks, a surfboard store located right in the heart of the festival said he enjoyed it.

“Business has been crazy,” he said.

Sudoku!

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can’t change who you are, but you can surely make the best of it. In the week ahead, you might experience a brief period of discontent. Remain true blue to your dreams and they will come true.

In the week ahead, be content with what you have, but don’t be afraid to give up on the impossible CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes storm clouds linger without sending any rain. Someone could have a definite change of heart by midweek. Not all problems in the week ahead need solving; let them emerge and dissipate.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Charm them and disarm them. You are capable of inspiring trust and admiration in the week to come.

If you wait to make a commitment until all uncertainties are cleared and doubts resolved, it may be too late.

Our Top High Schools are a Great Investment High school open houses are upon us this month. Instead of rushing to judgment, we suggest you take this valuable time to explore what these high schools have to offer.

While one mom might boast about how her older son made it into Brooklyn Latin Public Specialized High School (a lower tier of the specialized high school), you look at your daughter’s grades and realize that her marks are high enough for you to explore some better options than your locally zoned public high school or one of the smaller themed high schools located in some industrial areas in Queens or Brooklyn.

The fact is that if you speak to a parent who will be truly honest about choosing public high school, she will tell you that she had little Lisa go to one of the themed high schools simply because they are small – and with public schools “big is bad.” Small gives your child a better chance of making it out of there in one piece.

In this, our 11th Annual Top High Schools issue, we suggest you explore choosing a high school that can add some moral and spiritual focus, along with what we have seen as top-notch academic regimen, to your child’s formative teenage years. We suggest you look at this time of your child’s education life as an investment.

Mark Fish, principal of The Kew Forest School in Forest Hills, gave an interesting perspective to his school when addressing the role of alumni. “What sets us apart is our vibrant alumni community that enjoys supporting student initiatives,” he said.

We find alumni family to be one of the more compelling reasons to attend one of our top high schools.

This family is with your student for the rest of his or her life, and it often comes in handy when they least expect it.

And the schools we highlight in this section have a greater percentage of graduates that have the marks and skills to go on to tier-one colleges. These schools will truly focus on guiding every student towards the right college, not just put choices in front of a teenager.

Parents need to try to find the right fit for their child. Today, as opposed to ten years ago, it is more typical that the first child in the family will fit better into one

school, only for the second child to be comfortable in another.

The schools are indeed different in their academic standards, expectations, social climates, class sizes, and spiritual emphasis.

However, what we have found is that each looks at its students as part of its family. In fact, we have learned that typically half the faculty at these schools attended the school themselves.

After exploring high school options in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, we leave you with this thought: Even if you think your family can not afford to send your child to a private school, attend the open houses during the next few weeks and talk to an admissions director to explore scholarship and aid packages. If they find your child is likely to succeed and can bring something to the table that might add to the life of the students at the school, you might just be lucky enough to qualify for scholarships or aid.

Take the TACHS

Apply for the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools, or TACHS, scheduled for November 10. Visit the website www.tachsinfo. com or call 1-866-61TACHS to register in advance. For the student applying to a top private high school, a choice of schools (in order of preference) must be written down by the student with an application to take the standardized test called TACHS.

How We Chose The Top Schools We sent questionnaires to dozens of private high schools in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan for our 2012 issue. Since this is our 11th year, we are on top of the schools throughout the year.

To be among the top high schools we need to see at least 90 percent of the student body go to college.

We speak to parents, students, alumni and teachers – and in many cases administrators - and are able to obtain interesting information, which might not typically be shared with the outside world. The questions we ask are intended to compare the academic and social environment of each school.

Some schools were not shy about sharing scholarships opportunities

St. Francis Prep students spent three weeks in August in Germany, going to classes at the Albert Einstein School in Maintal. Trips overseas are just part of the educational experience at private high schools. for eighth graders, as well as money their seniors were offered in scholarships to colleges.

Some were able to brag about the average SAT scores of their current students, while others wouldn’t share.

On the whole, each school has its strengths and some shortcomings.

If little Lisa’s school is not listed here, it doesn’t necessarily mean we think her school is not worthy.

There are some schools that wouldn’t share enough information for us to make a determination on quality of curriculum, program and student body.

Worth The Investment After doing the research, we found that the schools we cover in the Top High Schools issue are worth the investment in your child. Special attention given to each student is what most of these private high schools are about.

Whether a future employer sees the name of the school on a resume, or their extended family on a Facebook or LinkedIn page, the high school they went to follows them for the rest of their lives. A focus on faith and moral character is also paramount to the high school experience at these schools.

Many schools we cover in this edition alter their approach to getting top students each year,

while others have stuck to their traditional methods.

Technology, Scholarships, College Credit The schools in this issue have invested heavily in technology assets in their classrooms and libraries. In fact, over the last ten years they have outspent public schools on this front. They all offer high-speed Internet connections and state-of-the-art computers, libraries and interactive websites.

We are noticing a great deal of student-teacher email and web interaction over the past two years.

Assignments are given out and handed in via web portals. “That gets them ready for the real college world,” said one biology teacher we spoke with.

Almost all of the schools in this issue offer college credit courses, which helps with some college expense. St. John’s Prep in Astoria typically has 30 percent of their students enrolled in at least one college-credit course and almost two-thirds enroll in an honors course.

St. Francis Prep offers 30 college credit courses in subjects ranging from art and language to math and more. Holy Cross director of admissions, Paul Gilvary, spoke to us about college credits courses.

“There is always great demand for

Private high school a trend worth exploring those courses every year,” he said.

St. Johns University has college credit courses at Msgr. McClancy.

“About 10 percent of our students are taking advantage of those courses this year,” said Brother Brian Curry. “It only costs them $250 and they receive thousands of dollars in tuition credits.”

Foreign country travel excursions are also part of many of the schools’ language curriculum options.

Manhattan’s Dominican Academy has more than one foreign-bound school trip every year, and the cost is fairly reasonable.

While we find that most private high schools in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan are still servicing the needs of students in their locale, they are attracting more and more students who commute an hour and sometimes more.

“It literally takes me 23 minutes from Roosevelt Avenue to get to my Manhattan school,” said one student from Xavier High School, who lives in Maspeth.

We are also finding students willing to travel if they are offered academic scholarships, or if they see that some personally desirable extracurricular activities (sports teams, clubs, specialized academic programs) match their needs.

One student, who lives in Woodside and attends the Notre Dame School on 13th Street in Manhattan, told us that she gets some valuable study time accomplished during her 45-minute daily commute.

More important to you might be what that school has to offer and what kind of graduates they produce. Graduates of St. Agnes High School in College Point, for instance, are attending college at a rate of 100 percent.

Speak To Parents Every school has its strengths.

Ask the parent of a child who you think is the kind of person you want your child to be. A good athlete, a good student, a polite, energetic,

motivated high school student might impress you.

We see some schools that push internships through the summer.

We have high school interns at this newspaper. We’ve had some great students who learned a good deal here. We have also had some who could not handle the pressure of a deadline.

You need to believe that your child’s high school choice plays an important role in the outcome of their life.

What To Look For at The Open House October is the month most schools want you there, although some offer second chances in later months. It is imperative that you attend the open house with your child. Even if you attended one a few years ago, go again. You will surely see the school differently, as school amenities might change.

Check each school’s description for the date of the open house.

Ask some questions of the people taking you on the tours: 1. All schools have had a child or two attend an Ivy League college at one time or another. Find out where a student who was in the middle of the class academically went last year. Do most of the graduates go to community colleges, CUNY, SUNY or tier-one colleges? U.S. News and World Report magazine publishes a guide to U.S. colleges every October.

Give it a look.

2. Speak to a current student you might not know. Is he or she the type of kid you think you want your child to be like? Ask where they score in relation to their classmates. Are his or her marks in the middle of the class, or are they above average? We have found that a teenager will most likely be honest if they are talking to you one-on-one.

Find a senior. Where do they stand in the class and where are they planning to go to college?

How were his or her grades in elementary school? If that student, Continued on page 32

Scholarships abound for those who seek them out Our research on the scholarships available from our Top High Schools is quite revealing. Monies available vary at each school from year to year, but although it might appear that the process for applying unfolds much the same way as it does for a student applying for college, it does not.

For college admission, students send out dozens of applications and colleges send back a letter stating acceptance and how much in scholarship and aid dollars they are willing to give you.

For the student applying to a top high school, a choice of schools (in order of preference) must be recorded on the TACHS test (given on November 10 this year).

The choice of schools you wish to attend is crucial to the schools themselves. Our Top High Schools might not typically offer any scholarship to a student who puts their school as second or third choice. But some do, so check out

our schools in this article.

For colleges, if a student desperately wants to attend that school, there are usually ways to squeeze money out of the schools.

That’s an important concept in understanding our Top High Schools. The schools we have profiled in this issue do feel the same way. In fact, we have found if a family member has attended the school they are more likely to give you a break.

“Family is family,” said one administrator at a Brooklyn Catholic school. “If an uncle, cousin or brother has gone here, we know that family believes in us and we tend to want to continue that legacy.”

“We want to attract top performing students who choose us first or second, but this year we are also considering top students who have chosen us third on the test,” said Penny Grote, assistant to the president at Notre Dame School of Manhattan.

The Tests The general admissions test is called TACHS. Some schools put more admissions and scholarship weight on those standardized test scores, while others lean more towards grades. A few give their own tests, and if you score high enough, you will be offered all kinds of financial incentives to enter the school. Most admissions directors want to make sure you really prefer their school, so be sure to consider making it your first choice when you put it down on your TACHS. Most schools remain fairly consistent from year to year with how much they offer and to what kind of students.

St. Francis Prep awarded nearly 100 incoming students some kind of financial scholarship award in 2012. There are typically almost 3,000 applicants for the 700 freshmen seats.

St. John’s Prep in Astoria awards numerous academic scholarships, most of which

come from the school’s Board of Directors. A test is administered with the top ten scorers receiving full scholarships, the following ten being offered half-tuition, and the next ten receiving quartertuition. Only students who have an overall average of 85 or above are encouraged to take the exam. Call the school for the test date.

Holy Cross wants their school as their first choice on the TACHS exam. They offer a coveted “Alumni Scholarship” named after the alumni of the school who fund it.

The Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates typically says first choice is imperative to get a scholarship offering - and $250,000 in scholarship money is typically designated for the incoming class.

St. Agnes in College Point is a college preparatory high school for young women. They offer a competitive Scholarship Exam. Full and partial scholarships based on that test and the TACHS exam. The exam is Thursday, November 1.

Don’t just assume schools are out of your price range

Archbishop Molloy awards scholarships through a competitive scholarship exam to students who achieve at least a 93 average in Math, English, Science and History at the end of grade seven.

Msgr. McClancy has altered its policy for this year. They give scholarship offers to students who choose the school as their number one choice. Students with 90 to 94 averages in 7th and 8th grades and score 90 ╨ 94 on the TACHS would be offered half scholarships, while students who hold averages above 95 would be offered the full scholarship, as long as their discipline was fine and TACHS scores were above 95. For students who have a better than 90 average in 7th and 8th grades and score 85 to 89 on the TACHS receive partial scholarships.  Martin Luther High School in Maspeth offers scholarship awards based on scores from an Academic Excellence Scholarship exam ╨ given this year on November 17.

Typically, the top 20 scorers will be offered financial incentives to attend the school. The school has a college credit partnership with Concordia College.

Dominican Academy for girls in a cozy townhouse on East 68th Street in Manhattan, has said students who score well on the TACHS and indicate interest in their school are invited to take a scholarship test in January. Less than 25 scholarships are typically available.

Xavier High School on 16th Street in Manhattan is a Catholic Jesuit College Preparatory school that typically fields a nationally ranked rugby team. It has 1,050 students from the five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey. A scholarship test must be taken on November 17 at the school in order to be considered for a scholarship.

Notre Dame in Greenwich Village is quickly becoming a school of choice for top female academic candidates from Queens and Brooklyn. For scholarships, they use TACHS as well as grade school marks. Students should put Norte Dame first, second or third choice. The school awards about 20 percent of incoming freshmen scholarship dollars.

At St. Saviour High School in Brooklyn there are scholarships for

applicants who have a mom, sister, or grandmother who attended the school. Other scholarships are awarded to students who list St. Saviour as a one or two choice.

Kew-Forest School typically has 15 new freshmen in a grade of about 45 students. Scholarships are awarded as financial aid only, and only after the child is accepted to the school.

St. Vincent Ferrer typically gives scholarships based on TACHS Exam scores and 6th, 7th, and 8th grade marks. On TACHS, scores must be 90 percent or better.

Prep for the Open House The transition to the teenage years can be a wonderful milestone in a young person’s life. However, it is also a critical time to pick the perfect place where he or she will spend the next four years learning and growing.

Across the city, high schools

are holding their open houses so that prospective students can determine what school is the best choice for them. It’s important to consider all factors when looking at schools, but what specifically should you consider for the place Continued on page 32

Choose the School That’s Right for Your Child

Continued from page 21 who is in the middle of the class is now attending a college you think might be the goal of your child, then maybe that is the school for your son or daughter.

3. Ask to speak to the principal or admissions director during the open house. Introduce your child to him or her. Don’t be afraid to tell him about your child and what type of student they are. One thing we can tell you for sure: they like kids and they like students.

They want to talk to you about your child and we have found that they are honest with you. Their experience tells them that if they paint a true picture then the family can make an educated decision about their school. They have told us that they don’t want a student who will not be a good fit for the school. “If the student leaves after a year,” said one principal of a Brooklyn high school we spoke with, "it doesn’t make sense for either the school or the student.”

Sports & Schools Many schools have sports as a secondary focus, but admit that sports play an important role in the high school experience. Some schools concentrate on their teams

because it is a way of promoting their school. Although few principals will freely admit that they feel the good press of a few good teams goes a long way in recruiting students, it’s true.

Many students say that looking forward to practice or the game after class or the intramural sports program at the school gets them through the academic day. Not everyone will make the team of their choice, but these schools do a great job in making sports an integral part of the school spirit.

Be cautioned not to pick a school because they have a great basketball or baseball program, because if your child doesn’t make the team resentment often sets in.

If your child is an athlete, seek out the freshman coach before you attend the school. Most coaches we spoke with will be honest about your child’s chances to make the team. Although recruiting kids is generally frowned upon, it always seems that basketball and baseball coaches of high school teams will know four or five kids coming into their freshman program.

If your child is not one of the select few for the highly popular basketball team, we find that many opt for the track or volleyball team. Some parents feel their child

might actually be better off on the volleyball team in the long run. “At least I knew she would play when I went to the games,” said one parent of a student who attends Archbishop Molloy in Briarwood.

Things Change You, as a parent, might best know what your child can handle, academically and socially. However, we have found that, on many instances, the right high school has brought out positive growth in teens that parents did not expect to see.

It is indeed true that some schools expect more homework than others. It is also true that some schools graduate more of their students to top colleges. The way they keep their standards high is to accept students who will succeed in the daily academic grind and spiritual experience.

There is no shortage of moral uplifting during a teenager’s years at these private high schools we list. Spiritual and religious experience is important in private schools. Religion and the spiritual interactive experience might not be on the top of most parents’ list, but is a top priority for most of these schools.

If your child doesn’t score particularly well on tests, but you know he or she can handle the workload at a certain school, then you should not be afraid to put the school as your first choice on the TACHS exam. After the test, contact the school of choice and try to get your child enrolled, even if they have not accepted him or her.

We know of many instances where this was done, and the student had a great high school experience and graduated to the right college. However, we know of many instances where the child couldn’t handle the work and was asked to leave the school. So be as brutally honest with yourself and your child as possible.

There is no doubt that the extra attention and quality education your child receives at our top schools is worth the cost and the effort. Many children mature during their teen years. Don’t stifle their academic potential before they get a chance to grow up.

We have reviewed scholarship opportunities at our various schools on our web page. Please www.queensledger.com and look for the story titled “2012 High School Scholarships Available.”

Open House is your best chance to get to know a school Continued from page 29 that will one day soon be your second home?

The open house is a chance for a school to impress you, but students and parents should also do their homework and work to get the most out of the open house.

Joan Porcella, the admissions director of Archbishop Molloy High School, said it’s important to bring a list of questions when you arrive.

“Ask about everything you are curious about,” Porcella said, who stressed acknowledging academic programs, taking a guided tour of the facility and meeting other students, and asking the percentage of students that go on to college. “Also, make sure to ask what the academic requirements are for getting into the school.”

“It’s important to remember that both parties are looking at one another,” said Henry Horne, the admissions director of The Kew-Forest School. “The potential candidate is also looking at the

school.”

Horne also stressed the importance of inquiring about special academic programs, as well as financial assistance

and potential scholarships. He emphasized that visiting a school was an important chance to put research into practice.

“They’re going to now hear

from the students and teachers and parents involved, and learn just what the school has to offer,” he said.

Mets knuckleballer gets 20th win of 2012

R.A. Dickey reached a career milestone last week with his 20th win of the season, becoming the first Mets pitcher to hurl 20 wins since Frank Viola did it in 1990.

It was an otherwise bright moment in what has been a dismal second half of the season for the New York Mets.

“I don’t know if I’ve really come down from it

yet,” said Dickey the day after picking up the win.

Though Dickey threw a season-high 128 pitches in the win over the Pirates, he was still scheduled to start Tuesday night against the Marlins on regular rest.

Another win and strong performance and dickey will be one of the top candidates for the Cy Young Award this year.

Unfortunately forDickey,

hours after he won his 20th game Washington’s Gio Gonzalez - the foremost threat to surpass him in National League Cy Young Award voting - won his 21st with another quality start.

“I don’t think anybody has it locked up,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “There are some guys that have had tremendous years.”

With new faces, MLS rebuilding

Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, seen pitching at Citi Field earlier in the season, picked up his 20th win.

Angle of the week

MLS has been hosting basketball clinics all summer long.

Last week, a 15-Foot T-Rex and Mr. Met had some fun with fans at Citi Field. “Field Station: Dinosaurs” is a 20-acre Jurassic outdoor exploration in New Jersey with 30 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, including three T-Rex’s and a 90-foot Argentinosaurs that can be seen from the Empire State Building, MetLife Stadium, traffic helicopters and some flights in and out of Newark Liberty Airport. For more visitswww.fieldstationdinosaurs.com.

The Martin Luther School basketball team enters the 2012-13 season with only one returning starting player from its 2011-12 campaign, in which it won six games.

“We’re in a rebuilding year,” said MLS head basketball coach John Della Marco, who took over the helm during the 2011-12 seasons as the team improved in total wins by four games. “No coach likes to admit that, but we have lost four seniors from last year and we compete against schools with double or triple the amount of enrollment.

“It is difficult at times to compete against these schools, but we are developing a program from the ground up and we are all excited about it,” he added.

The Cougars current roster is relatively inexperienced.

Besides starting guard Patrick Kelly and center Lorenzo Lake,

both seniors, the team will have several players from the junior varsity team try to make the squad this season.

“If we can get folks to come and watch our team this season, they will see young men that play hard and make efforts on every play,” said Della Marco.

“We may not win all the time, but we will always hustle and play a brand of basketball that will impress many to keep coming out to support the team.”

The team has been running basketball clinics throughout the summer and the turnout has been very good. Della Marco has been impressed with the turnout from freshmen to seniors, and the talent is better than he expected.

“They are still inexperienced, but I like a few new players and it is not a question of if, but when they will be good this year,” said Della Marco.

In 2013, MLS will be hosting a basketball camp for boys and girls.

“The groundwork for success in our boys basketball program is being laid by Coach Della Marco,” said MLS Director Jim Regan.

“Summer basketball clinics and constant communication with our student-athletes will help build a team that will focus on a renewed spirit for Martin Luther athletics.”

The team recently received help from a local company, Academy Fire Protection, which donated new uniforms, practice jerseys and warm-ups for the upcoming season. Off the court, Della Marco is trying to instill the right attitude in his players.

“Our philosophy on everything is simplify, perfect, and build pride in our program,” he said.

New-look Nets introduce themselves to borough

By Andrew Pavia

apavai@queensledger.com

Brooklyn Nets owner Mikahil Prokhorov isn’t the only one planning the championship parade route for the city newest pro sports franchise. Members of the team are also buzzing about bringing home a championship in their first year in Brooklyn.

Nets players an coaches met with the media on October 1. In true Brooklyn fashion, individualized cheesecakes from Junior’s were laid out with the players name and number, cementing the fact that the borough has embraced the team.

Onlookers watched from outside the Barclays Center as the players posed for pictures, pretended to shoot lay-ups, and talked with reporters.

Head coach Avery Johnson told reporters that he believes his team will benefit from a home court advantage.

“We know on most nights 95 percent of the crowd will be Brooklyn Nets fans and hopefully wear tons of Brooklyn Nets gear,” he said.

Johnson said that his players must look at the community of Brooklyn and use that as an inspiration to push themselves toward a championship.

“We want to be a team that takes on the personality of Brooklyn, which is a hard-working community,” he said. “We know what we mean to this community.

A lot of young people are going to be wearing Deron Williams and Joe Johnson jerseys. There is a sense of responsibility on and off the floor.”

The last question Johnson was asked was by Nets starting point guard Deron Williams, who sat in the front row during the press conference.

Williams asked which was the best basketball team

in New York on behalf of the “Deron Williams News.” Johnson laughed and then sidestepped the question, making it clear his focus was on “an NBA championship and not just a city championship.”

Williams was then asked the question he posed to his coach a few minutes earlier.

“I’m not going to get into that either,” he said, but later said he thinks the rivalry is not only a good thing for basketball, but a good thing for the city itself.

“I think we can be a great team,” Williams said of the Nets. “We have the right mix of youth and veterans.”

Williams and fellow guard Joe Johnson - the “Brooklyn Back Court” - are the primary focus for Nets fans. Both told reporters that they were not afraid to play in New York, even with it’s passionate fans and relentless sports media.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see who has the best team in the city: the Nets Guard MarShon Brooks

“We’re excited about being part of the community and we’re going to do our best to represent Brooklyn in a first class manner,” said Johnson.

Pols appeal to USPS for Glendale zip

By Kathleen Lees

klees@queensledger.com

Congressman Bob Turner and Assemblyman Mike Miller are renewing their call on the United State Postal Service to give Glendale its own zip code.

The pair filed a formal appeal with the USPS headquarters in Washington, D.C., challenging the USPS Triboro District’s recent decision to deny the Queens neighborhood a unique zip code.

The letter states that while the USPS did make modifications to include Glendale as a preferred community name for the area, it did not provide a separate zip code for the area.

Assemblyman Mike Miller’s chief of staff, Nick Roloson, said because the population in Glendale is equivalent to what would normally be two zip code

areas, mail can be lost, and mail services are late and often disrupted for residents.

“There is absolutely no reason for the USPS to deny Glendale its own unique zip code,” said Turner in a press release.

“There have been incidents of spoiled medication, mail going undelivered, not to mention the issue of community pride, much of which can be attributed to duplicate addresses under an extremely overused zip.”

Turner and Miller are pushing for the USPS to assign the vacant, adjoining 11384 zip code to Glendale.

Currently, the 11385 zip code shared by Glendale and Ridgewood has a population nearly double the Queens average.

According to the 2010 census, the 11385 zip code has a population of 98,592, in stark contrast to the Queens zip code average population of 54,408.

Queens residents grill DEP about flooding issues

By Andrew Pavia

apavia@queensledger.com

Home and business owners who suffer from flooding following heavy rains received no answers from Department of Environmental Protection representatives at a town hall meeting in Forest HIlls.

However, Mark

Lanaghan, assistant commissioner of DEP, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t giving any answers.

Instead, he began with a presentation on how the sewer systems work and why they are to blame for the flooding in homes, but not what DEP can do to prevent future flooding.

After a few minutes, Lanaghan was continually interrupted by irate

residents, who â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a history lesson,â&#x20AC;? one community member shouted.

Community members asked questions about what preventive measures DEP can provide so their homes and businesses do not get damaged by flooding.

The issue is with the combined sewer system in the city. Stormwater

and sewage use the same pipes, which are designed to handle 1.5 inches of rain per hour, which was fine when the system was implemented in the 1960s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not raining our sewers are running at less than 10 percent capacity,â&#x20AC;?

Lanaghan explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rain that overtaxes the combined sewers.â&#x20AC;?

When community

members asked Lanaghan why the sewage system couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be adapted to handle the increase in rainwater, he explained how long it takes to put a sewage system into place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drainage plan is laid out and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes 50 to 60 years to do. There is nothing we can do about it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a super low rate up to $2.0 million!â&#x20AC;?
