Parking changes on Queens Blvd.

By Pauline Hsia

news@queensledger.com

Under new regulations from the Department of Transportation (DOT), local business owners and shoppers will receive parking improvements in the neighborhood of Sunnyside.

DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, Congressman Joe Crowley and State Senator Michael Gianaris held a press conference on Thursday, September 29, to announce parking adjustments and the addition of short-term parking meters along Queens Boulevard.

The DOT reprogrammed more than 150 meters to incorporate short-term parking from 33rd Street to Greenpoint Avenue, giving motorists the option to pay for less than 12 hours.

Located under the 7 train, 60 muni-meter spaces will now have a maximum fourhour time limit.

“Through collaboration with the DOT, and in response to requests from the community, I am thrilled to announce these two major changes to the parking landscape of Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside,” Van Bramer said. “These 60 new munimeter spaces will reduce .

existing two-hour munimeter regulations will be extended.

“Sunnyside is more than a stop along the 7 train, it’s a destination for shoppers that local retailers depend on,” Sadik-Khan said.

“By expanding short-term parking, we’re balancing the needs of commuters while providing access that will help boost the local economy.”

These changes were studied by DOT at the request of Van Bramer.

The department evaluated parking conditions during morning peak hours and

concluded that the “no standing” regulation could be eliminated because it would not significantly impact traffic.

Street-cleaning regulations will be changed from 7:30 to 8 a.m. daily, and metered parking will begin two hours earlier. Changes will be implemented on October 31.

“I am pleased that these parking regulations are being changed to better reflect the needs of our community members and small businesses, which will allow Sunnyside to continue to flourish,” Gianaris said.

Pol Position

For Queens GOP, it’s North vs. South Two is always better than one, right? Well, if you’re a member of the Queens County Republican Party, let’s hope that’s the case.

Yes, the dysfunctional Queen County Republican Party, which despite its constant infighting and seemingly meaningless power struggles manages to get candidates elected in a city where they are drastically outnumbered

by Democratic voters, has found a new way to top – or lower - even themselves.

In case you’re just arriving to the Party, for years there has been an internal power struggle among GOP members in the borough. In one camp, you have Phil Ragusa, who has been chair of the party for years. In the other camp, you have Bart and John Haggerty, brothers who have been trying to wrest control from Ragusa and his supporters.

(Incidentally, the later Haggerty brother is currently on trial, accused of stealing money from Mayor Michael Bloomberg that was supposed to be used to fund a poll-watching effort, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s office alleges was instead used to buyout brother Bart’s share in the family’s house in tony Forest Hills Gardens. Bloomberg was actually forced to take the stand this week in the case to defend himself against charges that he knew exactly where the money was going when he hired Haggerty.)

But back to the Republicans and their new two-headed leadership.

Last week, Queens members of the Republican Party were required to reorganize, or in layman’s terms elect their chair for the next two years. The “official”

reorganization meeting was held in Flushing on Wednesday, September 28. But the Haggerty brothers organized their own meeting, which took place in South Richmond Hill.

At the Flushing meeting, 12 of the county’s 18 Assembly district were represented, or two-thirds.

All those in attendance voted for Ragusa. In a press release issued after the vote, the Queens GOP spun the results into “technically, Phil Ragusa won re-election with 100% of the vote.”

But at the same time at the Haggerty brothers meeting, a separate bloc of Queens Republicans was electing Tom Ognibene, the former councilman from Middle Village, as chair of the Republican Party.

Well, this is awkward!

Both factions tried to have their results certified with the Board of Elections. A GOP insider – and an attorney – that we spoke with the next day (hey! we sometimes speak with insiders every now and again), said that the laws are very vague in this case, and, technically, the

Strictly Stasi Special

There’s Drama in Queens…Again Queens Republican politics will have a new leader, or maybe it will not. Who knows? It’s up to the courts, as Phil Ragusa, the current chair, tries to hold on to support against former councilman Tom Ognibene. The fact that anyone even wants this job should disqualify them.

What the chair of the Queens

Board of Elections could declare two chairs of the Queens County Republican Party, He said that was because it isn’t completely clear that the Haggerty’s meeting was unlawful.

However, he also said that wasn’t likely to happen, and that it would be a matter for the courts to decide. And indeed both sides were in court this week as we were going to press arguing their side.

In order to simplify matters, basically what you have is a group of Republicans in north Queens battling for control of the party with a group of Republicans from south Queens. It’s a real civil war we’ve got going on here!

It seems likely that Forest Hills and Middle Village will join the rebel faction of South Queens, but it remains to be seen what forces – loyalists or separatists - the GOP-ers in Rego Park will side with.

May we suggest that Queens Boulevard now informally be referred to as the Ragusa-Haggerty Line? It’s so much nicer than the Boulevard of Death.

County Republican Party needs to do is develop candidates, preferably those who are energetic.

A new chairman needs to have a plan to make serious challenges in marginal assembly and state senate districts. Hopefully, these court challenges will come to an end, the Board of Elections has to be getting tired of this.

Support you local pharmacy

Dear Editor: The recent closing of the Borders bookstore has me wondering what people would think if they lost the services of their local pharmacists.

The possibility is real.

The similarities to what shut down Borders and the economic pressures facing retail pharmacy are quite striking, except for one thing: books are a commodity, drugs purchased at a pharmacy and the services provided by a pharmacist are not.

Those warehouse-like mail order operations are huge profit centers for these companies. Oh sure, they will “allow” local pharmacies to fill your immediate needs like antibiotics and diarrhea medicine. The problem is, neither an independent pharmacy or any chain pharmacy could stay in business with those few prescriptions.

If the mail order pharmacy trends continue unchecked, the days of having a trusted pharmacist to ask if this medication is right for you will come to an end. What does this do to the local economy? Large companies that depend on local commerce for their very survival seem to have

no problem sending millions of their dollars out of state each year for mail order pharmacy services.

City, county and state governments do the same thing with your tax dollars being shipped out of state.

This makes about as much sense as the unemployed factory worker hoping to get a local manufacturing job spending his unemployment check at Walmart on a kitchen table made in China.

So what can you do to save money and support the local economy? First be sure you have a relationship with your local pharmacist. He knows the most about you and your medication. Today it is Borders, who will it be tomorrow?

Sincerely, Elaine Liang, RPH College Point

GOP treatment of soldier a disgrace Dear Editor: The GOP is rabidly rearing it’s ugly head again, all under the guise of preserving the past. Well, at least the past as they see it.

The audience at the Republican presidential debate in Orlando booed a gay soldier after he asked candidate Rick Santorum a question. Santorum stated

that he would reinstate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

For decades gay men and women have been fighting side by side with heterosexual men and women, placing themselves in harm’s way in order to preserve and protect our American ideals.

But what amazes me most is that not one debater spoke up to defend this soldier.

Since the Tea Party surfaced, it has done nothing in congress but spread it’s agenda of fear and hate. If a man and woman are carrying a rifle, putting themselves in harm’s way in order to protect me from terrorists and preserve everything this great country stands for, I really don’t care what you are. They are all heroes.

They deserve our respect, not boos.

Sincerely, Charles Merendino Woodside

Gov’t should not create jobs Dear Editor: Well, here we go again promises, promises.

Citizens should know that it is not the function of the president to create jobs.

That is the job of the free market and it has been that way since our country was founded.

What the president

should be doing is using his influence to undo the many unnecessary taxes that are dragging down our economy, doing everything in his power to stop these unnecessary wars, convince congress to de-fang the Federal Reserve System and return our country to a sound money system.

Sincerely, Frank St. George East Rockaway

Teachers, not computers Dear Editor: With all of the focus on the importance of technology in our schools, there is another very important issue that

needs to be stressed and addressed.

That is the fact that our students need to be able to know how to express their thoughts through oral reading and writing.

A computer does not teach a student to read or to write; a teacher does.

Students can very easily use their computers to complete assignments with relatively little difficulty.

Computers are useful as an addendum in the classroom for some instruction. They should not and must not ever take the place of the classroom teacher.

Sincerely, John Amato Fresh Meadows

Blog WATCH An issues straw poll

At the most recent Woodhaven Town Hall meeting, we had a little experiment. A number of the issues that are frequently called in, or discussed at meetings, were put on display, on a table - each problem affixed to a cup.

Noise, illegal conversions, illegal signs, etc. Over a dozen different “issue cups” were put out. And as each resident came into the meeting they were handed seven straws.

The idea was that they had to place a straw into each cup which they felt needed attention. And if they felt that a particular issue needed extra attention, they could place three or four or all seven of their straws in that issue cup.

One resident said they needed more than seven straws - illustrating the point of limited resources. We’d like to concentrate on all of the issues, but sometimes we have to pick and choose our battles, and this experiment was designed to see which issues mattered most to the residents of Woodhaven.

And if a particular issue was not on the table, they were free to add their own issue cup.

Here are the complete results: 1) Not Enough Police (22%) 2) Illegal Conversions (12%) 3) Gangs (11%) 4) Dirty Streets (10%) 5) Graffiti Vandals (9%) 6) Noisy Neighbors (8%) 7) Noisy Cars (7%) 8) Illegal Driveways (4%) 9) Illegal Dumping (3%) 9) Out Of State Parking (3%) 11) Forest Park Carousel (3%) 12) Bad Snow Response (3%) 13) JHS 210 Students Destroying Property (2%) 13) Illegal Signs (2%) 15) Clogged Sewers (1%) From projectwoodhaven.com

Guest Op-Ed

Why a Pataki Run for President is Impossible Larry Penner

There were good reasons why former Governor George Pataki (1994 - 2006) decided not to run for president. No one who truly believes in limited government, balanced budgets, reduction in long-term debt and support for the free enterprise system signed up for his ill-fated 2008 Presidential campaign. The same would have been true in 2012, which is why Pataki never got out of the starting gate.

Pataki’s lavish spending of taxpayer dollars to special interest groups to grease his 2002 reelection for his last term made the late liberal Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller roll over in his grave! His record deficits, excessive spending and late budgets give real conservative Republicans anguish.

Spending in Patkai’s last 2006 budget was twice the rate of inflation. This budget contained $1 billion worth of pork barrel projects known as member items, along with a potential deficit in the billions. Under Governor Pataki’s tenure, with bipartisan support of the state legislature, borrowing for quasi-government agencies grew by billions.

The combined budgets for dozens of these agencies runs into the tens of billions. In many cases, these expenditures are tracked off line and not counted as part of the regular budget. Even worse, they are exempt from basic oversight by both the state comptroller and state legislature. Albany’s $115 billion budget was greater than most states and many nations.

New York was ranked number two among the 50 states in debt, with each resident responsible for $3,515 of the $50 billion total debt. Under “TaxPaki,” state debt grew from $27 billion in 1995 to $50 billion in 2006. Projected future red ink raised this debt to $54 billion by 2009. State public authorities debt is an additional $72 billion. These combined debts plus future interest total $187 billion!

As a lame duck governor, Pataki used tens of millions in taxpayer dollars to run numerous TV commercials. Pataki’s smiling face left voters frowning. This media blitz at taxpayer expense was designed to raise Pataki’s

Strictly Stasi 2012 and the Confusing Electoral College

Anthony Stasi

George Pataki name identification in preparation for a 2008 presidential campaign, but didn’t benefit residents paying the bill.

Pataki reminds me of Nero prior to the collapse of the Roman Empire. His public service announcements kept running while he ran around the country in 2006, positioning himself for a 2008 presidential run. In New York, he left the GOP in ruins.

In 2012, just as in 2008, intelligent Republican primary voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early contests would once again look past glitzy campaign commercials to a potential president’s past leadership, management style, philosophy and political track record.

No intelligent Republican primary voter want to inflict the Pataki virus on a national level.

Native Republicans who know Pataki best, would once again deny him the ability to carry New York as a favorite son candidate.

Having been out of office five years, his Pay for Play campaign contributors abandoned him long ago.

As in 2008, with little funding or support, Pataki once again became one of the first GOP candidates to drop out long before the primary process even began. Pataki wrote his own political obituary long ago. Except in his own mind, Pataki is essentially irrelevant in politics today.

Larry Penner is a resident of Great Neck.

Some people love the idea of electoral reform; they are very different from the other 98 percent of the country. But even if you do not follow how the system works, you almost always question it when a national election rolls along. The state of Pennsylvania is now toying with the idea of scrapping the winner-take-all Electoral College system, as a way to derail Barack Obama’s success in the state.

If Obama or his challenger gets the most votes in the state of Pennsylvania, the winner gets all 23 of the state’s electoral votes. You only need 218, so it’s a whopping ten percent of your potential winnings.

However, the state is thinking of making each of the 23 districts separate, meaning that if there are ten districts that vote Republican, the GOP nominee will get those ten electoral votes. If Obama gets 15 of those districts, then he gets only those 15 electoral votes.

Why do we care about this? New York is almost never considered in-play, as the overall state almost always goes to the Democrats.

But what if each district made a decision for president, and was counted separately? It would mean that people running for president would have to listen to people in Queens and Long Island, because those electoral votes are no longer taken for granted.

Consider how the reputation for New York is to lean toward the Democrats. But in a one for one system, where each district counts, Suffolk County, Nassau County, Queens, Staten Island, and parts of upstate would all be in play. Now New York becomes a concern for both parties. Being a concern is good if you are a regular citizen, it is not so good if you are one of two people running for president.

Why have we not done this before? The problem is that incumbent members of Congress do not want presidential candidates traipsing through their districts. If you are a safe Republican in an upstate district, the last thing you want to see is Barack Obama and his giant presidential motorcade rolling through your town because you know he is going to endorse your challenger while he is in

town.

The same is true for Democrats.

If the GOP nominee becomes popular, an incumbent Democrat does not want all of this attention ruining a good thing. But what is better for the people? As the system stands right now, a presidential election concentrates on a few states that yield the most electoral bang for the buck.

The Generic Ballot Barack Obama is trailing the generic Republican (the “anybody but Obama” candidate) by a margin of 46 to 38 percent according to Gallup. This means the president is actually tied with the eventual GOP candidate.

Once there is an official candidate for the Republicans there will be real negatives, and that 46 percent drops at least 5 points. Some, but not all of those five points, will head to Obama, so give him about 42 percent. Add a 3 percent margin of error, and you are not in bad shape if you are the president. He has a massive fundraising apparatus, an established organization, and Air Force I makes an impression when it lands…wherever.

When we look at the economic negatives, the president is in some trouble, however. The only way this carries over 18 months from now is if the Republicans can run someone who is trusted with economic issues, and that eliminates most of them.

Romney would give the GOP its best shot right now, but remember that he could be vulnerable in the usually reliable South. If Romney gets the nomination, the president will have to spend more money and time in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, but Romney will have to work to win the Carolinas, something that is usually a given for the Republicans.

The great question might be how open is the conservative South to a Mormon candidate? It will be Romney’s job to explain that and make the campaign about issues.

James P. Carey School Principal James P. Carey has been principal of Monsignor McClancy High School in Elmhurst for the last 14 years.

A f t e r growing up in Massapequa, Long Island, and getting a Bachelor’s in Health Education and Physical Education from the University of South Carolina in 1979, Carey moved back up north and found work in the high school.

Although Carey said he didn’t plan on being a school principal for his career, he knew he wanted to work in a building with kids.

However, he is happy with how things turned out.

“What I like about it is you have ideas that you want to improve the school,” Carey said, “and you actually have a say in that.

“You really have an affect on what’s going to be happening in the school, how the kids get education, I really enjoy that,” he said.

Carey went back to school while working at Monsignor McClancy to get a Master’s at Adelphi University in Physiology and then an Administration Degree from St. John’s University in 1995.

Now he is bringing McClancy to the next level of education: it is going co-ed.

Carey said that when he’s visited grammar schools in the area, he noticed a disproportionate ratio of many more girls than boys in the classes.

“If we buried our heads in the sand and did not see the demographics changing, we’d be in trouble,” he said of the decision to change.

The school, which now has about 450 students, will raise its population to 600 next year when it brings in about 150 freshman girls, Carey said.

He said McClancy is well prepared for the change, including $2 million in capital improvements from funds raised by staff and alumni.

As for the students, Carey said the girls will improve the school environment.

“The girls at that age are very serious about their grades, not all of them but most of them,” he said, “and I think that will flow over very nicely to the boys too.”

Change in drug policy good economics Decision to interpret law differently will save money

Recently, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly recently handed down an internal order to all of the officers in the department to amend their practices when it comes to arresting people carrying small amounts of marijuana.

It’s already police policy to not arrest individuals carrying less than 25 grams of marijuana – as long as its not in public view.

However, a number of people were getting arrested for small amounts of marijuana because of the department’s aggressive stopand-frisk policies.

When an officer stopped an

individual and searched him or her, the officer would often find small amounts of marijuana on a person, and when they pulled it out of their pocket, would then interpret it as being in view of the public, even though it was the officer who was displaying the drug.

The problem? Opponents argue that the NYPD unfairly targets black and Latinos and frisks them, leading to a disproportionate number of them getting arrested for carrying small amounts of marijuana.

Regardless if that is fact or not,

50,000 people were arrested last year for carrying small amounts of the drug. A study for the NYPD, created by Dr. Harry Levine of Queens College, showed that 70 percent of young adults ranging from 15-29 years of age smoke marijuana. Eighty percent of those arrested were black or Latino even though the study showed that, statistically, white youths smoke marijuana the most.

Whatever your views on smoking marijuana, the NYPD’s decision to interpret a law that is already on the books in a more fair way is estimated to save the city close to $100 million annually in processing fees and overtime to cops. In these tough fiscal times, that’s good news.

Real Estate CLASSIFIED OBITUARY News OPINION BQE ENT.DINING SERVICE SPORTS Helping the mentally ill stay out of jail (New York City) Mayor Michael Bloomberg last week announced the first meeting of the Steering Committee of the Citywide Justice and Mental Health Initiative.

The committee will address the question of why, even as crime has decreased and the jail population has declined, the number of incarcerated mentally ill has risen.

“For all we’ve accomplished in terms of increasing public health and safety for our most vulnerable populations, more work remains to be done,” said Bloomberg.

“For too many, the criminal justice system is a revolving door, with one out of two mentally ill inmates returning to prison,” said Deputy Mayor Gibbs. “We need to work together across the criminal justice and human services systems to increase public safety, improve supervision and help this special needs population connect to effective community-based health services.”

“The jails are increasingly a place of last resort for offenders who are chronically mentally ill,” said Correction Commissioner Schriro. “Even as the jails’ total population continues to fall, this group just can’t get out or stay out.

We look forward to learning all we can from this analysis to improve our practices to better serve the city and ensure all New Yorkers are safe and sound.”

Individuals with mental illness come to jail and return to jail more frequently and spend longer in jail than individuals without a mental health diagnosis, even when the severity of their criminal charges and histories are similar. As a result, one-third of the jail population is now diagnosed as mentally ill.

For every two mentally ill inmates released from the Department of Correction, one returns to jail within a year, and when readmitted, remains in jail for nearly three times as long as an offender without a mental health diagnosis.

As part of the as the focus of a far-reaching initiative, researchers will use New York City as a model to analyze the path travelled by people with mental illness as they move through the criminal justice system.

New York City’s size as the second-largest jail system in the U.S. is also expected to provide meaningful results for the rest of the country where other cities and states are grappling with the same

NEWS BRIEFS issues.

“We think other local governments across the U.S. will learn a lot from what New York City finds through these analyses,” said Michael Thompson, director of the Council of State Governments Justice Center.

Feds release funds to repair NYS roadways (Washington, D.C.) Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced that the Department of Transportation’s

Federal Highway Administration is releasing $5 million in emergency relief money for New York State after Hurricane Irene.

Specifically, this funding will help fund repairs to washed out roads and bridges, debris deposits on roadways, damaged roadway surfaces and more.

“This funding will get New York on the road to recovery after Hurricane Irene,” said Schumer.

“These storms caused massive flooding and serious damage to many of New York’s roadways in the past month, which had a negative

impact on local economies, homes, and businesses.”

NYSDOT will use quick release funds to expedite emergency repairs to roads, highways and bridges in 31 counties throughout the state.

NYSDOT estimates that overall damage to federal-aid highways from these floods will likely exceed $100 million.

Quick release funding through the emergency relief program is designed as a ‘down payment’ to meet the state’s most immediate needs and is later supplemented by traditional emergency relief funds.

“I saw firsthand the trail of devastation these storms left on our communities, and the need to rebuild our crumbling bridges and washed out roads,” said Gillibrand.

Report: New York City poverty rate on the rise

By Lisa A. Fraser

lfraser@queensledger.com

The poverty rate citywide has risen in the last year, reports the United States Census Bureau, with one in five New Yorkers now living below the poverty line.

According to the Census, the one in five translates to a family of three earning less than $18,000 a year.

The annual report, called the American Community Survey (ACS) and issued for the year 2010, also states that the poverty rate increased from 18.7 percent in 2009 to 20.1 percent in 2010.

More than 1.6 million New Yorkers live below the federal poverty line of $18,310 for a family of three – the highest level since the year 2000.

While nationally, the median household income declined 2.3 percent to $49,445 from 2010 to 2011, in New York City, median household income dropped 4.6 percent to $48,743.

The report also reveals that racial disparities continue to be high.

Hispanic and African American households earned less than what

caucasian households earn, with Hispanics earning a little bit more than half the income of white households and blacks earning 60 percent of white households.

Given the high cost of living in New York, the numbers are unsettling. The federal poverty level is set at $10,830 for a family of one, but a more accurate measure of poverty is the New York SelfSufficiency Standard, which takes into account county-by-county costs of housing, child care, food, health care, transportation, and other factors.

The New York City SelfSufficiency Standard sets the poverty level by borough, ranging from $23,394 in the Bronx to $50,570 in Manhattan South for an individual.

This could mean that the number of New Yorkers struggling to make a living is even higher than the Census estimates.

“With more than 20 percent of New Yorkers living in poverty and nearly half of these individuals working full or part-time jobs, we need bold action from local, state and federal government to create quality jobs,” said Matt Ryan,

executive director of ALIGN: The Alliance for a Greater New York, in a statement.

The report also shows that one in four New Yorkers lives in a household that can’t afford enough food.

Many more New Yorkers depended on some form of public assistance in 2010 than in 2009. And 1.8 million residents, translating to nearly one in five households, are now relying on food stamps.

The Census numbers coincide with a recent report by the United States Department of Agriculture, which claims that almost one million households throughout the state are now struggling to put food on the table.

“People are desperate for living wage jobs. And until those jobs are created, we must find the revenue to keep struggling New Yorkers fed and off the streets,” said Mary Brosnahan, executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless, in a statement.

But even living-wage jobs are hard to come by for some residents.

Jane Rangel (whose name has been changed to protect her privacy) used to have her own small business on

Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn. But in the past year, with the redevelopment of the neighborhood, she was forced to move as rent nearly tripled.

Currently looking for a job, she has even searched for a retail position at a big box store in Brooklyn, but was told that she “doesn’t have enough experience in retail.”

Monami Maulik, executive director at Desis Rising Up and Moving (DRUM) in Jackson Heights, noted that since the recession, the burden of not having a job plunged a lot more DRUM members, whether documented or undocumented, into poverty.

“The majority of our members, comprised of many undocumented immigrants, live below the poverty level, earning $5 or less per hour,” she said. “But we find similar things with new, documented immigrants.

“A lot of Bangladeshis who often come with lottery visas, find it hard to find work because of language barriers or limited education,” she added, “so often they’re working similar jobs to undocumented immigrants.”

Making sure veterans get what they deserve Queens resident leads national organization

By Heather Senison

hsenison@queensledger.com

Vietnam Veterans of America President John Rowan devotes his life to helping war vets get the resources and help they need to live functional, healthy lives.

Rowan, who grew up in Elmhurst and now lives in Middle Village, joined the Air Force in 1965 to avoid getting drafted into the Army, he said. He served in Denang, Vietnam for about a month, where he lived through the largest attack on an American air base since World War II. He then spent the rest of his time working in intelligence gathering in Japan, Rowan said in an interview at his home last week.

Rowan’s job was to intercept information in North Vietnam so he and his unit could warn American soldiers of attacks the Vietcong was planning.

“Without us, they would’ve

gotten slaughtered,” Rowan said.

“It was kind of a tense job, trying to figure out everything that was going on.”

After he was honorably discharged in 1967, Rowan went to college and then served as district manager for Community Board 4 in Queens.

The VVA was started in 1978, but officially got its name in 1980.

Rowan was made president of the VVA in September of 1981.

As president, Rowan helped secure legislation to assist Vietnam veterans, along with those from the wars since, including the current fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For example, the VVA is responsible for establishing the Veteran’s Real Estate Tax Exemption. Under the legislation, veterans who served during wartime receive a 15 percent exemption on their real estate taxes, 25 percent if they served in a war zone, in addition to half of their disability ratings.

“The amount of money veterans save on their real estate taxes is going to be substantial,” Rowan said.

He said veterans “have the exemption forever and can leave it to their widows if they die.”

The VVA was also one of the prime movers behind establishing outreach centers for veterans who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), he said. The counselors in the centers are often young veterans who can relate to the soldiers coming home from wars today.

The centers are separate from the federal Veterans Association,

which Rowan said can be “too bureaucratic” for some.

The VVA also established a Veterans Health Council, which assists veterans who suffer from Agent Orange-related problems and ailments from other toxins they were exposed to at war.

“In Iraq in particular,” Rowan said. “I think in Afghanistan as well, the military in their wisdom has been burning everything, and again it creates this whole toxic cloud.”

He said since there are no environmental protection regulations in those countries, the United States government burns all of its trash and any other waste.

As for the future, Rowan said the VVA wants to ensure American vets still “get everything we need.”

A lot of veterans suffer from PTSD after they retire, he said, when they have more free time to watch television and read about the wars the United States is currently involved in.

“And of course we’re trying to do a lot for the new kids so that they get everything they need so they don’t end up like we did,” Rowan said, referring to the societal problems Vietnam vets have suffered since the 1970s.

“So they don’t get the homeless issues, so they don’t get the suicide rate we did,” he said, “although that’s becoming a problem now.”

Jackson Heights director’s play hits the big stage “The Family Room” portrays the ups and downs of love and life

By Melissa Bozin

mbozin@queensledger.com

As the rain hit the pavement on a gloomy Friday afternoon, Gwent Reitz walked into a diner, “Ricky’s Café,” located on 75th Street and 37th avenue in Jackson Heights, to discuss the latest play she and long time friend Aron Eli Coleite have collaborated on. Showing much enthusiasm, Reitz lit up as she began to describe what she referred to as “a sweet, sad beautiful play that was my favorite out of the plays I have directed.”

The play, which took about a year to enter the New York scene from Los Angeles, took only one month of rehearsals before its debut on September 30. It is centered on a rebellious teenage boy named David who is the child of two psychologists. David illegally tapes a video session between his father and a lonely schoolmate named Jenifer. In hopes of “fixing” Jenifer he decides to date her and eventually learns the meaning of love.

“The characters in the play, you believe in and hope for,” said Reitz.

The play deals with real-life issues ranging from a marriage on the rocks to budding teenage first loves, while showing the ups and downs of life. It drives home the point that no one is perfect and everyone has their share of baggage.

The inspiration for the play was based upon the fact the writers’ parents were shrinks themselves.

Throughout the play all of the characters, including David’s parents, transition in and out of therapy, (even though they too

Photo credit: Coco Martin. are therapists) realizing, “all of the people they talk to are just as troubled as them,” said Reitz. She describes the play as “witty.”

“There’s a lot of back and forth repartee,” she said. So much so, the designers, she said, even cried during the play rehearsals Born in Sri Lanka to two American parents, Reitz claims her childhood, “was what some people may say is out of the ordinary but to me felt normal growing up.”

Reminiscing on her childhood, she remembered traveling to various places since her father’s career allowed for the family to move and visit a variety of countries around the world.

“Growing up I would have random and weird objects in my house like an elephant trunk and I thought it was normal,” said Reitz.

She always enjoyed being surrounded by different people of a multitude of cultures, which is why she and her husband decided to settle down in the diverse community of Jackson Heights.

“I love Jackson Heights, it is an affordable community and you get everything here,” she said.

Having worked as an actress prior and even appearing in an EHarmony commercial, Reitz has always preferred directing. She has directed roughly 20 plays before this.

“As a director you get to be a part of the whole picture, the director is who makes all the puzzle pieces come together,” she said.

Part of the reason Reitz is so passionate about directing is because she “loves creative problem solving, I think it is what keeps life interesting.”

Heights, Reitz previously lived in Seattle and prior to that, grew up on the west coast in California.

There she attended the University of California, Santa Cruz and she began her friendship with Aron Eli Coleite.

The two developed their relationship through out the years after having a theater company together in graduate school.

Coleite, writer of “The Family Room,” initially wrote the play with the intentions of it being a success in Los Angeles in 2004.

He never imagined seven years later it would make its New York City debut. However when the play made its way into the hands of its soon-to-be director Reitz, her initial reaction was, “New York needs to see this play.”

“The Family Room” is playing at the ArcLight Theater, located at 152 W. 71st Street, in New York City.

Events Calendar ART Ongoing through January 2012 Wonderstruck in the Panorama: Drawings by Brian Selznick It parallels the preparation of the author/illustrator’s latest novel with the construction of the Panorama of the City of New York scale model at the Queens Museum of Art. From its beginnings as the main attraction at the New York City Pavilion in the 1964-65 World’s Fair to its contemporary role as a crowd pleasing destination for museum visitors of all ages, the Panorama has served as muse, impetus for reflection, and an idyllic escape. For Brian Selznick, bestselling children’s book author, artist, and Caldecott Award Winner, it proved to be a locus of memory and he cast the Panorama as a leading character in Wonderstruck, released by Scholastic Inc. on September 13, 2011. | Queens Museum of Art, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. (718) 592-9700.

Ongoing through October 8 Bronx. Brooklyn. Queens.

Presenting our 2011 Top High Schools Issue It’s An Investment – Not A Cost It’s “Open House” season for schools. In this, our annual Top High Schools issue, we suggest you spend the next few weekends exploring any of the dozens of open houses at high schools that could add some moral and spiritual focus to a top-notch academic regimen during your child’s formative teenage years.

We suggest you look at this time of your child’s education life as an “investment,’ not a cost. The schools we profile in this issue are tuitionbased choices which, we have found, allow for more parent and family involvement in education.

James Carey, the principal of Monsignor McClancy High School in East Elmhurst, Queens, put it best during our chat with him at the McClancy Open House this past weekend.

“Parents and students sign on to be part of our family when they enter our school,” he said. “If they truly ‘buy into it,’ that helps the student develop a structure which carries with them through their teen years and through the rest of their lives.

That is what education at our school is all about.”

McClancy is changing its student body in 2012 from all-boys to coed, a move which made their open house draw more than 1,000 visitors on Saturday. “We planned for 400,” said Nick Melito, director of admissions.

There is a trend that many are embracing: “Education doesn’t cost...education is an investment in the future of your family and the family of your child.” An education at any of the schools we profile here is something your child will carry with them for the rest of their life. Most tell us they are all about “family,” and most of the schools listed here take pride in hiring staff who attended the school. 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.

Financial Aid and Scholarships After exploring options at high schools 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

Students in the classroom at Archbishop Molloy High School. ( Photo: David Garvey) weeks and talk to an admissions director to explore scholarship and aid packages. If they find you are more than likely to succeed and add to the life of the students at the school, you might just be lucky enough to qualify for scholarships and/or aid.

Keep this guide as a reference when you consider high schools.

Throughout the year, our reporters and editors talk to students and faculty of the schools throughout New York. We suggest you apply for the TACHS test (slated for Saturday, November 5). For the student applying to a top private high school, a choice of schools (in order of preference) must be written down on the exam. Register by visiting www.tachsinfo.com or calling (866) 618-2247.

How We Chose The Top Schools We sent questionnaires to dozens of private high schools in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan for our 2011 issue. Since this is our 10th year publishing the Top High Schools issue and not all high schools might have thought we have been fair to them, a few did not wish to share information, but we still have plenty to go on. To be among the top high schools we need to see at least 90

percent of the student body go on to college – even though that, alone, is not an exclusive measure of success.

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

Some schools were not shy about sharing scholarships opportunities offered for eighth graders, as well as dollars their seniors were offered as 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 a school is not listed here, it doesn’t necessarily mean we think his school is not worthy. There are some schools which wouldn’t share enough information for us to make a determination of quality of curriculum, program and student body. If your child attends a school we might have missed, let the administration know to contact us.

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 each student while attending the school 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 attended follows them for the rest of their lives.

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 Courses & Internships

The schools in this issue have invested heavily in technological assets in their classrooms and libraries. In fact, with the state of the finances in the public school system, these schools have outspent public schools on this front. They all offer state-of-the-art computers, libraries and homework on their websites.

Most have a comprehensive web presence, and many schools have their students operate their websites.

Most schools in this issue offer college credit courses, which helps

Private high school a trend worth exploring with some college expense. St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prep in Astoria was proud to share with us that more than 30 percent of its students are enrolled in at least one college-credit course and almost two-thirds enroll in one or more honors courses.

St. Francis Prep offers 30 college credit courses in subjects ranging from art and language to math and more. Most of our schools encourage internships as a part of the high school experience. Here at this newspaper we have recently had interns from The Mary Louis Academy, as well as St. Francis Prep.

We are also finding students willing to travel if they are offered academic scholarships or if they see that some personally desirable extracurricular activities (i.e. sports teams, clubs, specialized academic programs) match their needs. The parent of a student who lives in Glendale 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. Her daughter plays on the volleyball team and needs to use the commute time to study.

The Kew Forest School has recently added a tennis academy program to its academic regimen.

It is attracting some attention from players who might have gone to an academy in Florida. Kids who want world-class tennis training for three hours a day woven into an academic schedule now have an option in Forest Hills, Queens. They train at the West Side Tennis Club.

Think About College Now More important to you might just be what that school has to offer and what kind of graduates they produce. For graduates of Bishop Ford High School in Park Slope, for instance, more than 93 percent are attending four-year colleges.

Maybe there is something about St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University you like. Maybe their sports management program is something you think your child

as well as college preparatory help.

What To Look For at The Open House October is the month most schools want you there to show off.

Some offer second chances in later months. It is imperative that you attend the open house with your child.

1. Ask about graduation rate when you visit the school.

2. Ask how many graduates went on to top colleges. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less important that they list the colleges where their graduates have attended or received acceptances to last year.

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.

Statement: Martin Luther High School has adopted a new model of academic education in keeping with the NYS chartered independen school. The curriculum is that of the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board.

Students take AP courses and exams leading to college admission, college credit, and placement into advanced college courses. Martin Luther School is also adding the Regents program as part of the high school curriculum. The Regents Exams will be available in English, Algebra, World Studies, U.S. History and Living Environment. This addition will help our students when applying to CUNY and SUNY schools. This year, Martin Luther School expanded its ministry to include students in grades 6, 7 and 8. The students have the opportunity to participate in athletics, music, drama and more as part of the Middle School curriculum. To better communicate with our students and parents, MLS students enroll in PrepHQ, an Online college and career guidance program, and Edline, an Online grade reporting program. Both provide up to date information on the student progress for students, parents and school personnel. Alumni are involved in our school, not only through reunions, but as contributors to Career Day, volunteer service, membership on boards and committees and as donors.

Originally founded in 1962 in Park Slope by the Franciscan Brothers as a Catholic, all-boys academic institution, Bishop Ford High School has gone through some big changes during its 47 years of existence. In 1978, after the closing of an all-girls high school in Greenpoint, Bishop Ford became a co-educational institution. In the early 1990’s, changes were made academically to accommodate some of our new students. Bishop Ford, while remaining a college-bound high school, introduced several new options academically, including a very demanding honors tract. In 2000, Bishop Ford introduced a Fine Arts curriculum, which allows students to essentially incorporate fine arts into their academic life. Annually, more students select Bishop Ford as a choice on the T.A.C.H.S. exam than any other Brooklyn Catholic school. Three years ago, Bishop Ford was accepted into the Student Sponsor Partners Program. This incredible organization provides tuition scholarships for highly qualified students who would not ordinarily be able to afford a private education.

Presenting our 2011 Top High Schools Issue Continued from page 21 Give it a look. See the colleges where the graduates of your favorite high school went.

3. 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?

Ask. 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 grades in elementary school? If that student, who is in the middle of the class, now is attending a college you think might be the goal of your child, then maybe that is the school for your son or daughter.

4. 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. 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 Queens high school we spoke with,” it doesn’t make sense for either the school or the student.”

Sports In These Schools Many schools have sports as a secondary focus, but admit that sports play an important role in the high school experience. Many students say that looking forward to practice or the game after classes 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 good basketball or baseball program, because if you don’t make the team resentment often sets in.

If your child is an athlete, and you think making a team is very important to the high school experience, 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 track and field team in the long run. You know they’ll play.

Other Factors Religion and the spiritual interactive experience might not be on the top of most parent’s 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 on to a good 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. Do not make the decision too early that your child is not the type to go on to college. 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 a more specific level on our web page. Please visit www.queensledger. com and look for the story titled 2011 High School Scholarships Available.

Open House is your best chance to get to know a school As children turn to teenagers there are important milestones that set them up for their future.

Perhaps none more so than the choice of high school, where the student will mature, find themselves, and hone their strengths.

Across the city, high schools are holding their open house events to get prospective students and their parents to learn about the schools that could become their second homes. But what should you know going in?

Joan Porcella, Admissions director for Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, said that a student shouldn’t bring any paperwork to the open house, just themselves, their family and plenty of questions.

“Students should ask what courses they offer, what extracurricular activities they have, and if there are any scholarships available,” she said.

Porcella added that this was the best – and perhaps the only

– opportunity to see if a school is the best fit for the next four years of a child’s education.

“They should be looking for a school that fits their personality,” she said. “Not only the academics that they want, but after-school activities they’re looking for, too.”

Martin Luther School will be holding its open house events on Saturday, October 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Thursday, November 3, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Admissions director James Regan said the most important thing a prospective student should bring is an “open mind.”

They should be looking for programs outside of the academic rigors to help provide them with greater opportunities to explore their interests,” he said.

Dates for the open house of every school in our Top High Schools issue can be found in each individual school’s profile.

SAINT VINCENT FERRER OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15th NOON - 3:00pm Come See Our New Digital Language Lab!

More than 1,000 parents and prospective students toured Msgr.

McClancy High School in East Elmhurst this past Saturday. The Brothers of the Sacred Heart school is going to be accepting girls in its 2012 freshman class for the first time in its 45-year history. School officials say they are expecting to take about 80 girls and 80 boys in the incoming class. “That going to make it a bit more difficult to get in,” said one mother of an 8th grader from Maspeth, “but that’s okay. I think it’s for the better.”

Scholarships abound for those who seek them out For students looking for high school scholarships, available money varies year to year and among the different schools. Although it might appear that it happens much the same way it does for college, it does not.

In applying for college, students send out dozens of applications, and colleges send a letter back stating an acceptance status, along with how much scholarship and aid dollars they are willing to give.

Not so for our high schools.

For the student applying to a top high school, a choice of schools (in order of preference) must be recorded on the Test for Admission Into Catholic High Schools (TACHS). The choice of schools a student wishes to attend is crucial to the schools themselves.

Several high schools will not typically offer any scholarships to students who put them as second or third choices on the TACHS – so we recommend being mindful of a preference order.

Having a family member who previously attended a desired high school also increases the chances of being accepted and offered a scholarship.

Alumni are an integral part of our Top High Schools. For example, Msgr. McClancy in Elmhurst boasts that 25 percent of the staff at the school are alumni.

Some serious dollars are brought in to our Top High Schools by alumni associations to fund scholarship programs. These scholarship dollars keep their schools at the tops of the minds of the highest achieving eighth grade students.

Some schools put more admissions and scholarship weight on standardized test scores, such as the TACHS and the Cooperative Admissions Examination Program [Coop], offered mostly to New Jersey residents, while others lean more towards report card grades.

A few give their own tests, and students who score high enough are offered all kinds of financial incentives to enter the school.

Most admissions directors want to make sure students fervently prefer their schools, so be sure to consider making them first choices on the TACHS. Most schools remain consistent from year to year with how much money they offer and to what kind of students. One thing remains constant; if students score well

on the standardized tests, more than one school will probably offer them money, either in scholarship or financial aid.

The TACHS costs $52, which covers registration materials, a student handbook and the reporting of scores to three chosen high schools. The exam will be offered November 5th for students applying to Catholic schools for the 2012 school year. To obtain more information about the test and for registration instructions, visit Tachsinfo.com.

St. Francis Prep scholarships are based on sixth, seventh and eighth grade report card grades along with a first choice listing on the TACHS. St. John’s Prep in Astoria awards numerous academic scholarships, most of which come from the school’s Board of Directors.

Scholarships are based on scores

on the Peter Vallone Scholarship Test, which will be administered on Saturday, November 19. The top 10 scorers on the exam receive full scholarships, the following 10 are offered half-tuition, and the next 10 receive quarter-tuition.

Only students who have an overall average of 85 or above are encouraged to take the exam.

Holy Cross wants their school as their first choice on the TACHS. They offer full and partial scholarships based on the TACHS first choice, seventh and eighth grade report cards and two letters of recommendation.

The Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates gives girls who list it as a first or second choice on the TACHS a priority for scholarships, however all choices are considered.

Scholarships are also based on grades from the previous three years and based on their own scholarship

exam. The school offers $250,000 total in scholarship money per year. The deadline for a scholarship exam application is November 2, and the test will be administered on November 30.

St. Agnes in College Point is a college preparatory high school for young women. Full and partial scholarships are based on a scholarship exam, the TACHS, and an average of 80 percent or higher in the previous year. The application deadline for the scholarship exam is Monday, October 24, it costs $15, and the test will be administered on Thursday, October 27th at 4 p.m.

Molloy awards about 70 different scholarships through a competitive scholarship exam.

Students who achieve at least a 93 average in Math, English, Science and History at the end of grade seven are eligible to take the exam.

St. Francis Prep students honored

The College Board recently announced that three students from St. Francis Prep have been selected as 20112012 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) Scholars. They are Samantha Parente, Marina Recio, and Michelle Valentin. The NHRP is recognizing nearly 5,000 students selected from a pool of over 235,000. Pictured from left to right are Rachel Rho, Marina Recio, Sean Ennis, Daniel Graham, Aakaash Varma, and Catherine Vallone.

Don’t just assume schools are out of you price range Continued from page 34 Applications for the exam are due Thursday, November 10 and the test is Saturday, December 3rd.

Msgr. McClancy will be coed starting next year. The school offers scholarships based on the TACHS, with a first choice preferred, but second and third considered. Scholarships are also based on final report cards from the previous three years and letters of recommendation from two classroom teachers. It is expected that there will only be around 80 boys and 80 girls admitted next year.

Martin Luther School in Maspeth offers scholarship awards based on scores from an Academic Excellence Scholarship exam – given this year on Saturday, November 19. The school gives away more than $200,000 in grants, scholarships and aid every year.

The top 20 scorers on the test are awarded scholarships.

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.

Fifteen to 25 scholarships are typically available, and 35 percent of their students live in Queens or Brooklyn.

Xavier High School, on 16th Street in Manhattan, offers scholarships to students to have an A average in middle school and score in the top 7 percent on the Coop and the TACHS. It also offers its own scholarship exam, administered this year on Saturday, November 19th at 9 a.m.

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 as their first or second 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 mother, 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. KF is a K – 12 school. Scholarships are awarded as financial aid only, and after the child is accepted to the school.

St. Vincent Ferrer for girls on East 65th Street in Manhattan offers scholarships valued at 67

percent of the current tuition, renewable all four years. Scores must be at 90 percent or better to qualify for the Scholars Program.

Qualifications also include top academic rankings in eighth grade, a consistent academic record for sixth through eighth grades, and a recommendation from an eighth grade teacher.

Getting to high school a little ahead of time Martin Luther celebrates grand opening of new middle school

By Pauline Hsia news@queensledger.com On Thursday September 29, Martin Luther School celebrated their new middle school program, which will now offer an interactive education for students.

With a newly appointed principal, Barbara Chin-Sinn, and updated classrooms with Smart Board technology, the Maspeth middle school is making sure that students receive a more innovative and creative method of learning.

Science and Social Studies teacher Glenn Schuman believes Smart Boards will be a useful tool for students to learn as they progress through their academic year. For example, during biology, students will be able to dissect a frog on a Smart Board as though they were dissecting a frog in real life.

“The smart board is previously loaded with materials from all academic and fine arts subjects,” said Schuman.

With instant access to these kinds of experiments, students will be able to learn quicker and have more confidence in theireducational explorations. Additionally, Smart Board technology includes touch screens, where students can draw, write, and type using their fingers.

Smart Board is not only interactive, but resourceful; students can easily research information from the internet.

“Because of the interactive aspect of Smart Board, each child will be able to go on these Smart Boards and do their experiments and research,” said Chin-Sinn. “It is compatible with games that the students play at home.”

Gary Fredericksen, director of Technology, stated that the school purchased two brands of interactive boards: Smart and Mimio. Each Mimio cost about $700-$800 and each Smart Board cost about $1,000.

There are currently 15 interactive boards in the entire school, which includes Martin Luther Middle School and High School. The school was able to acquire grants and state funds to purchase the new classroom technology.

In honor of the middle

school’s grand opening, State Senator Joseph Addabbo and Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley attended the event to demonstrate their support for the school and its new technology.

Both encouraged the 32 students that attend the middle school to “continue enthusiastically” in their education.

As the principal, Chin-Sinn oversees the middle school program, but she fully involves herself with the students’ education by teaching English and religion.

She hopes the new Smart Board technology will fulfill her

expectations of enhancing the learning process at the school.

“My vision for the middle school is for every student to be fully equipped for the 21st century in technology and fine arts,” she said.

Top high schools are going high-tech

Learning to adapt to modern times The high school experience today is a far cry from times past, when your grandfather had to walk uphill both ways to class.

Traditional classroom staples like textbooks, chalkboards, and

even teachers themselves still exist, of course. They are slowly being augmented or replaced, however, with technological advances that are changing the classroom feel, and could transform it entirely in decades to come.

Walk into a New York City high school now, or follow a student’s homework routine, and what you’ll find might be surprising: SMART Boards; tech labs equipped for serious computer building; online databases that allow parents to track their children’s every homework move.

Administrators and tech

teachers around the city say these and other tools are essential for schools interested in keeping up with the times, and relating to student bodies increasingly connected to a larger world.

Thinking of them simply as fancy, expensive gadgets could be wrong.

Besides representing significant advances, high-tech classrooms appeal to students who are used to having the Internet, instant communication, and more at their fingertips, make them feel at home and even increase their interest in school work.

Tennis academy adds to Forest Hills school curriculum Sport part of the school day The Kew-Forest School tennis team is making some noise this year.

They have just hired Mark Clemente, who played tennis for Columbia University from 20042008, as coach and also recently announced that former top five player in the world, Gene Mayer, would begin overseeing the development of the Kew-Forest Tennis Academy.

The program is held at the historic West Side Tennis Club, just a stones throw from the school.

The goal is to develop it from the local high-school level program initiated last year to a world-class tournament training academy to attract teenagers who want to stay close to home in an environment with high academic standards and three hours per day of tennis regimen.

“We’d like to see Gene develop it into a program comparable to The McEnroe Academy at Randall’s Island, or the USTA Elite Training Program that Tim Mayotte was

most recently running at Flushing Meadows,” said Christine Schott, a Kew-Forest tennis parent who spoke about the program. “But what my daughters and I like about the program is that the school has been able to adjust the students’ academic schedule so that they can be on-court by 2 p.m. while still receiving a full college prep education.”

The Kew-Forest Tennis team features standout 15-year-old Ariana Rodriguez, who has a USTA National ranking of 68 in the Girls 16 and under division. She has played in the famed Orange Bowl Tournament and will continue to play on the junior circuit this season while attending school.

Clemente said of Rodriguez, “She is a talented young girl who works hard at the academy. She will do very well under Gene and I am excited about our chances to win our league this season, with Ariana leading the charge.”

Pictured here is the coach of the Kew Forest Tennis team, Mark Clemente. For more information about The Kew-Forest Tennis Academy contact Scott GordonSomers (718) 268-4667 ext. 116

Mets put a bow on 2011 season with win over Cincy

By Shane Miller

smiller@queensledger.com

And with that, another season comes to an end for the New York Mets without a trip to the playoffs.

The Mets ended their 2011 season last Wednesday with an afternoon game against the Cincinnati Reds.

The Mets won the game 3-0 to finish the season with a record of 77-85, two games worse than the team’s 79-83 finish in 2010.

Despite another disappointing season, the mood at Citi Field wasn’t all doom and gloom. Several fans held signs thanking the team and looking forward to 2010 with optimism.

And before the game the team honored retiring groundskeeper Pete Flynn, who has been with the organization since their first-ever game at the Polo Grounds.

However, there was still the looming issue of Joses Reyes’ expiring contract.

Reyes is now a free agent, and it’s unclear if the Mets, who are looking to cut payroll, not add to it, will be able to afford their superstar shortstop.

Last Wednesday, several fans held signs pleading

with Mets management to do everything they can to keep Reyes.

Fans got a taste of what a Reyes-less Mets team would feel like, when Reyes, who reached first on a bunt in the bottom of the first inning, pulled himself from the game. And once third baseman David Wright left the game in the fourth, the Mets team on the field didn’t include one marquee name.

It barely included anyone who would be considered an everyday player on even an average Major League team.

Reyes left the game to give himself an edge in the race to lead the National League in batting average for the season. At the start of the day, Reyes’ average was slightly higher than that of Ryan Braun of the Brewers.

With Reyes’ successful bunt, Braun would have had to go 3-for-4 in the Brewers’ last game that evening. It turned out he didn’t get a hit at all, meaning Reyes likely had the title locked up even if he hadn’t left the game.

His decision to leave the game was criticized in some circles, meaning that even this one bright spot in the Mets’ season couldn’t be handled without the hint of

David Wright with Pete Flynn.

photos: Michael O’kane controversy.

Despite the disappointing record, the Mets season wasn’t a complete disaster.

After several injuries and the trade of outfielder Carlos Beltran, many young players in the Mets farm system got their chance to prove they can play in the Big Leagues.

And until September, the scrappy, rag-tag group the team fielded everyday provided some entertaining baseball. Let’s hope the fans enjoyed watching them, because they will likely see a lot more of them next year.
