Armed robbery in Hicksville

A 22-year-old man was robbed by a pair of men armed with a handgun on Tuesday, September 19th on Roma Street. According to Nassau County Police, at 8:30PM, the victim was confronted by two men who got out of a black Toyota Rav 4. Police say they displayed a hand-

gun and demanded money. They took an undisclosed amount of money from the victim and fled in their vehicle, heading south on Jerusalem Avenue. The victim was not injured. The subjects were described as male blacks wearing blue/red bandanas over their faces, dark

hooded sweatshirts and blue jeans. No further description is available. Detectives request anyone with information regarding this incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.

Last year, Anya Marquardt, a senior at Hicksville High School, donated her time and energy to help a Long Island hospice care network. She engineered an art drive in her school to benefit a non-profit organization that helped her overcome a tough time in her life. “My younger sister and I attended bereavement groups a few years ago, when my dad passed away from cancer,” said Marquardt. “My dad had used the hospice services and at the time they were offered to our family, so I wanted to give back to them in some way.” Beginning last April, she worked with school staff to place boxes throughout the high school to collect art supplies and materials. She also placed boxes in the middle school, Fork Lane Elementary School and a local dance studio. The boxes were placed inside the high school’s guidance office, in teacher’s rooms and in all the art rooms. She also spoke about the donation drive to her fellow students and placed fliers all around the school grounds. “I serve as president of the National English Honor Society, Social Studies Honor Society and Art Society, and I’m head of the school newspaper, so I was able to get the word out to a lot of students.” Students ended up donating enough supplies to fill up 15 boxes throughout the school district. Some of the items donated included crayons, markers, paper and glue sticks. She said that most of the supplies would go to kids who are part of one particular hospice network, which is located in Woodbury. They have different age ranges in their groups from eight and under to nine to twelve, so a lot of these supplies would really benefit some of these kids,” said Marquardt. Hicksville High School Principal Raymond Williams said that Anya is one of the school’s most focused and motivated students. “What was the most impressive thing to me was that before she began putting this drive together, she approached me and some of the teachers to convey the importance of this work,” said Williams. “The thing that’s so meaningful is that she is not only doing this as part of the school community, but for the community as a whole.” Marquardt said that she is planning on putting together another donation drive for this school year.

After representing the Bethpage School District and High School as well as New York State at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Boston this past June, Bethpage High School junior Rahul Busri was presented an official Award of Excellence by the National Leadership Academies. The award certifies his successful completion of the Congress. At the Congress, Rahul was surrounded by many fellow high school students that share his passion, ability and potential. He was among the delegates that were able to help new friends reach aspiring dreams while also having the opportunity to collaborate with potential future colleagues. Part of the experience allowed Rahul to watch live surgery and ask the sur-

geon questions in real time. Some of the greatest living minds in medicine and winners of the world’s most prestigious international prizes were among the teachers. The National Leadership Academies supports America’s high-achieving high school students through career and focus-area programs and services. All Congresses are highly-selective and have strict requirements, as all attendees are nominated by teachers or the Academy based on proven academic excellence and a demonstrated desire to achieve the very best. Bethpage High School Principal Nicholas Jantz presented the award to Rahul on September 27th, and the entire district congratulates him on a remarkable accomplishment and bright future.

The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to participate in the Town’s 45th Annual Rotational Art Exhibit Program, which will take place throughout 2019. The program allows local artists to display their work in local libraries, banks, government offices and local businesses on a monthly “rotational” basis. “Through this program, local businesses around the Town get the opportunity to join in supporting local artists while providing patrons with the pleasure of viewing artwork in a setting they normally wouldn’t. This integration ultimately benefits both sectors and helps spread a passion for the arts,” Town of Oyster Bay Councilman Thomas Hand said. “This program not only features the diverse works of new artists, but also some of the most accom-

plished artists from the area.” The Town of Oyster Bay is currently looking for new artists and businesses to participate in the 2019 program. The Rotational Art Exhibit Program allows local businesses a unique opportunity to position themselves at the intersection of industry and art. The program is free for both artists and businesses. The deadline for artist applicants who wish to be considered for the program is October 17th. The deadline for venues who wish to display artwork on a rotational basis is October 31st. For more information, including a copy of the program application, visit the Town’s website, www.oysterbaytown.com, or call the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Community and Youth Services at (516) 797-7932.

Students strengthen writing skills with STEM activity

Students at Summit Lane Elementary School are strengthening their script writing abilities with the school’s new “Summit Script Fridays.” Older classes are incorporating this important handwriting skill into their lessons each Friday. Fourth graders in Christine Pase and Michelle Matos’ class participated in “Save Fred,” a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics activity that placed an emphasis on script writing on September 21st. Using a gummy ring which served as a life preserver, a gummy worm named

Fred and a paper clip, the students were challenged to get Fred into the life preserver using only a paper clip and not their hands. Once in the life preserver, the students had to use the paperclip to put Fred back into his boat (a cup). Working in groups of two or three students, they first brainstormed on how to successfully get Fred into the life preserver and then put their ideas to the test. The students learned teamwork and perseverance as they tried to save their worm, even after failing. Once

the groups successfully completed the challenge and put Fred back in his boat, they each filled out a flowchart where they put their script writing abilities in action. Students wrote a description of how they saved Fred, drew what they did, explained what challenges they came across, rated the difficulty of saving Fred and rated their enjoyment of the activity which unanimously resulted in five out of five stars. “My favorite part was trying to put the life preserver on Fred,” said fourth grader Eliana Nemeth. “It was hard but

fun.” Once every group completed the STEM activity, the class gathered back together to discuss the task and how they did. Students shared their strategies as their peers gave positive feedback to those who successfully saved Fred. For displaying the school’s initiative of P.R.I.D.E. (Patience, Respect, Integrity, Determination and Excellence) during the activity, each student received two P.R.I.D.E. coupons which can go toward prizes during the school year.

Ski Titans’ Epic, Ikon Season Passes Battle for Skier Loyalty BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM The leaves have hardly started to fall here in the Northeast, let alone the first snowflakes, but eager skiers need to start planning for the upcoming season. Fall is the battle of the season passes, made much more interesting with the consolidation of ski resorts around two major titans: Vail Resorts and Alterra Mountain Company, a new company that emerged from the merger of Aspen Ski Company and KSL and a buying spree of a slew of other major resorts. Both have done something extremely smart: they have burst out of the Rockies to acquire New England’s prime ski resorts – Vail acquiring Stowe and Okemo in Vermont, Alterra acquiring Stratton and forming a partnership with Powdr’s Killington, making their season passes that much more usable, and therefore more valuable for Eastern skiers. What is more, it creates an incentive to include a long-haul ski vacation during the season. Both passes even include access to international resorts - Epic Pass has offerings in Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria and Ikon encompasses resorts in

We celebrate the vision and tenacity of Columbus BY CLAIRE LYNCH

Columbus Day is on October 8 this year and the 74th Annual Columbus Day Parade will be held in New York City. It starts at 11:30 a.m. Guy Chiarello, who is the President of First Data Corporation, a global leader in Financial Services, is the Grand Marshal of the 74th Columbus Day Parade. Chiarello has been the President of First Data since 2013, where he oversees the business and technology solutions created for First Data’s clients. First Data is at the center of the global payments ecosystem, driving commerce every day by powering more than 3,000 transactions per second and $1.9 trillion in annual transactions. Chiarello has been at the forefront of banking, technology and innovation for more than 30 years. He has led product development and technology for three

Fortune 500 companies, advised some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and is recognized around the world among the most prominent technology leaders in the industry. Chiarello was the Chief Information Officer at JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley before joining First Data Corp. The annual Columbus Day Parade is the largest celebration of ItalianAmerican heritage and culture in the U.S. As Grand Marshal, Guy Chiarello will lead dozens of marching bands and floats and more than 100 marching groups up the Fifth Avenue parade route which runs from 44th Street to 72nd Street. The Columbus Day Parade in New York City is organized annually by the Columbus Citizens Foundation. Christopher Columbus had many sides to him. He was Italian, born Cristoforo Colombo but he sailed for Spain. He was born in 1451 in Genoa and died in May 1506 in Valladolid,

Spain. There aren’t any pictures of Christopher Columbus but there are descriptions. The Admiral was “of good stature and appearance, taller than the average and strongly limbed: the eyes lively and other parts of the face of good proportion, the hair very red, and the face somewhat ruddy and freckled ....” long visaged with cheeks somewhat high, but neither fat nor thin. He had an aquiline nose and his eyes were light in color; his complexion too was light, but kindling to a vivid red. In youth his hair was blond, but when he came to his thirtieth year it all turned white.” This was a description by his son, Ferdinand. Columbus’ second son Ferdinand should certainly be regarded as a reliable source since he traveled constantly with his father between the ages of 12 and 18, according to the web site christopher-columbus.eu. His home town was Genoa which

is located on the northwestern side of Italy near France. Located south of Milan and east of Nice, France, Genoa is a port city that for centuries has played a central role in maritime trade. Although he was confused on much of the geography, Columbus was an expert sailor, navigator and leader, according to Martin Dugard in his 2005 book, “The Last Voyage of Columbus.” After crossing the Atlantic in search of the fabled East Indies, which was a difficult task at that time, he landed on the island of Hispaniola which is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic instead of Japan or some other part of Southeast Asia as he had planned. Columbus wasn’t the first explorer to discover the Americas but he was the first to stay. His discovery helped expand the European empire of the time. A New World certainly was See page D6

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

Attaining Your Age BY TOM MARGENAU

A few weeks ago, I wrote a column in which I casually mentioned the obscure common law (not a Social Security law) that says that you actually attain your age on the day before your birthdate. For example, I will celebrate my 70th birthday on June 22, 2019. But legally, I will turn age 70 on June 21. I said that from a Social Security perspective, that law usually doesn’t mean anything unless you were born on the first day of the month. For those lucky people, it can mean an extra Social Security check. For example, if you want your Social Security checks to begin at age 66, and your 66th birthday is Oct. 1, you legally attain age 66 on Sept. 30, meaning your first Social Security check will be for September, not October. Well, that little throwaway point has led to lots of questions from readers. I hope answering them will help clarify the rules. Q: I was intrigued by your column about being born on the 1st. I will turn 66 on Dec. 1, 2018. When I file for benefits, do I have to tell them that I want my benefits to begin in November? Let me put that another way. Had I never read your column, I would have known nothing about that odd little law. Would I have missed out on one month’s Social Security check because of that? A: No, you (and everyone else born on the 1st of the month) will be just fine. All you have to do is tell the Social Security Administration that you want your benefits to begin at whatever age you want them to begin -- in your case, age 66. SSA’s computers will automatically know that you legally turn 66 on Nov. 30, and you will get your first check for November. Q: In a recent column, you said that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check in August. But I think you are wrong. Because Social Security checks are always a month behind, that August check won’t be paid until September. So I still don’t see the advantage to being born on the 1st. A: Well, you are right -- and wrong. I will explain. If you look back at that column, you will see that I worded my explanation very carefully to say that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check “for August,” not “in August.” You correctly pointed out that the August check is paid in September. Without that little quirk in the law, someone turning 66 on Sept. 1 would normally get his or her first check, the September check, in October. But again, that law does exist. So there still is a one-month Social Security check advantage to being born on the 1st. Q: You said that someone turning

age 66 on the first day of the month can get benefits for the prior month. But does that same rule apply to those of us whose full retirement age is not 66? For example, I was born on May 1, 1956. My full retirement age is 66 and 4 months. So I will be 66 and 4 months on Sept. 1, 2022. Does the law mean that I will actually reach my full retirement age on Aug. 31, 2022? A: Yes, that’s what the law means. So if you want your benefits to begin at your full retirement age, that’s what you will tell SSA. And their computers will automatically figure out that you will reach that age on Aug. 31, 2022. Q: That was an interesting point you made about being born on the 1st. But I recall a column you wrote years ago in which you said there was some significance to being born on the 2nd. I was born on Nov. 2, 1952 and started my benefits last year. I don’t remember being offered any advantage because of my birthday. A: There is a very limited advantage for some people born on the second day of the month. And it generally only applies to folks who start their benefits at age 62. To explain, I’ve got to go back 35 years. In the early 1980s, Congress was looking for ways to cut back on Social Security spending. One of the plans they came up with was fairly obscure. They passed a law saying that if you took your Social Security benefits at age 62, you had to be 62 for every day of the month before you could get your first check. (The law doesn’t apply to any other age but 62.) And now here is how the “born on the 2nd” issue comes into play. Normally, if you are born on any day other than the 1st, you would not be 62 for each day of the month. So you would have to wait until the following month to get your first check. But because of that quirky law we’ve been talking about, people born on the 2nd legally attain their age on the 1st. So, for example, if Mary wants benefits to start at 62 and she turns 62 on Oct. 2, 2018, she can get a Social Security check for October because she is legally 62 on Oct. 1, meaning she is 62 every day of the month. On the other hand, if her husband, Bill, is 62 on Oct. 3, he would have to wait until November before he would be eligible for benefits. Some people may wonder what would happen if Mary was born on Oct. 1. The answer is there would be no change. She would legally turn 62 on Sept. 30. But October would still be the first month she would be 62 for the entire month, so October would still be her eligibility date. Q: Your story about getting an extra month’s worth of benefits if

you are born on the first was very interesting. And it got me to wondering. What if you die on the 1st? Let’s say I died on Dec. 1, 2018. Do I legally die on Nov. 30? If so, then could my wife get a widow’s benefit for November? A: That’s a very interesting question. But I think you are stretching the point a little too far. I went online and checked

this common law. And it’s all about legally attaining your age on the day before your birthdate, not attaining your death on the day before you actually die. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

opened up. People started trading plants, food, cultures and more. He put together a plan to seek a western sea passage to the East Indies, hoping to profit from the lucrative spice trade. There were some spices in Europe before Columbus set sail but they were hard to get and very expensive. Pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg were highly desired. Spices were an important part of ancient commerce well before the 15th-century but they were monopolized for centuries by Middle Eastern and North African middlemen who guarded their valuable Asian commodity closely. Back then, the colorful grains were used for flavoring food and also for such tasks as making perfume, preserving meat and sprucing up salve recipes in traditional medicine, according to livescience.com. Without access to eastern sources or the power to contest exorbitant prices, Europe had a hard time getting the various spices. At one point in the 1300s, when tariffs were at their highest, a pound of nutmeg in Europe was a more valuable commodity than gold. The members of the aristocracy found it hard to afford their shipments of peppercorn and clove. So by the 1400s, when navigational equipment had improved to the point that longhaul sailing became possible, the kings and queens of Europe set out to change the balance of world trade by funding spice-hunting missions of their own. Christopher Columbus was the first to set out for the East Indies hoping to bring back cargoes full of silks as well as spices. He tried and tried to get funding for his voyage and finally was successful in persuading Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain to support him. Queen Isabella reigned in Spain from 1474 until her death in 1504. She saw herself as a Spaniard but she was half-Portuguese, and it was the Portuguese who were adventurous world explorers going around the coast of Africa to India. She inherited that desire for overseas exploration and travel from her Portuguese mother. One of her relatives was Henry the Navigator, prince of Portugal, according to Jennifer Hunter (thestar.com, 2015). Henry the Navigator was a prince not a sailor or a navigator but he sponsored important voyages. Under his patronage, Portuguese crews founded the country’s first colonies and visited regions previously unknown to Europeans. During Prince Henry’s time and

after the Portuguese navigators discovered and perfected the North Atlantic “turn of the sea” which was the dependable pattern of trade winds blowing largely from the east near the equator and the returning westerlies in the mid-Atlantic. This was a major step in the history of navigation when an understanding of oceanic wind patterns was crucial to Atlantic navigation from Africa and the open ocean to Europe. It enabled the main route between the New World and Europe in the North Atlantic in future voyages of discovery. Both King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella took a risk in supporting Columbus. They believed that a shorter route to Asia existed. Spain had a strong interest in trading with Asia. If they could discover a shorter route to Asia, it would give Spain an advantage in trading with Asia.

It was also possible that Columbus might discover places that were rich in minerals and resources. Before heading west, Christopher Columbus gathered his crews, his boats and his provisions. Then he worked under tough circumstances. He had three ships on his first voyage, the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Columbus took off from Palos de la Frontera a half hour before sunrise on August 3, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52 men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta each had a crew of 18 men. (christophercolumbus.eu) The Santa Maria was the largest of the three boats and was not able to go near the coastline. The Santa Maria carried a lot of cargo, however, and it was able to stand up well in bad weather. The Nina and the Pinta were caravels and did not have much cargo space but they were able to explore shallow bays and the mouths of rivers. The crew members on the caravels slept on the deck and would go below only if the weather was bad. The crew was gathered by Martín Alonso Pinzón who was the captain of

the Pinta. They were experienced seamen and four of them had taken an offer from the Spanish throne for amnesty from prison if they took the voyage. Many of these sailors were from the nearby towns of Lepe and Moguer.

The Santa Maria was about 117 feet long. We know that he sailed the Atlantic and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492, under the sponsorship of the Spanish kingdom of Castile.

Facts About Columbus Day* • Christopher Columbus began sailing when he was only 15 years old. • When he set sail for the expedition, he was given three ships by the city of Palos. • He set sail in August of 1492. It was 35 days before a sailor spotted land. The names of the three ships were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. His crew consisted of 90 men. • The goal of the expedition was to chart a western sea route to India and China, as well as to the islands in Asia with spices and gold. • When Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492, he was the first European since the 10th century to have the opportunity to explore the Americas. • The Santa Maria did not make the return trip to Spain because it ran aground on Christmas Day. Forty men had to stay behind because there was no room on the other two ships. They stayed behind on the island of Hispaniola. • Christopher Columbus made four different voyages to the New World. • He died when he was 55, in 1506, only two years after his last trip to the New World. • The first federal observance of Columbus Day, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was on Oct. 12, 1937. • In 1971, the date October 12th no longer marked the holiday. It was changed to the second Monday in October. • Colorado was the first state to make Columbus Day an official, legal holiday, and Denver still holds one of the largest Columbus Day parades each year. • In Latin America they call this day Día de la Raza; in the Bahamas they call it Discovery Day; in Spain they call it Fiesta Nacional and Día de la Hispanidad; in Argentina they call it Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural; and in Belize and in Uruguay they call it Day of the Americas. • In Puerto Rico, Columbus Day is celebrated along with Puerto Rico Friendship Day. • In the Commonwealth of Virginia, Columbus Day is celebrated along with Yorktown Victory Day. • Upon arriving in the Americas, Columbus introduced a variety of previously unseen items including wheat, barley, rye, sugar, bananas, citrus fruits and horses. The horses that Columbus introduced into the New World later spread to the mainland and became essential to the Plains Indians. • Most educated Europeans during Columbus’ time understood that the world was round but they didn’t yet know about the existence of the Pacific Ocean. * softschools.com

Over several days, ships of Columbus’ day would average a little less than 4 knots. The top speed for the vessels was about 8 knots. These speeds were quite typical for vessels of the period. So overall, 90 or 100 miles in a day would be typical. Of the three ships on the first voyage, the Santa Maria was the slowest and the Pinta was the fastest. No one knows exactly what Columbus’ Santa Maria was like. We can examine similar ships of the era. It was a nao, which simply means “ship” in old Spanish. It was a merchant ship, between 200-600 tons, that was designed for carrying cargo. It was a slow boat.

To quote historian Edmund Morgan, “Columbus was not a scholarly man. Yet he studied these books, made hundreds of marginal notations in them and came out with ideas about the world that were characteristically simple and strong and sometimes wrong …” (coursehero.com) Christopher Columbus died on May 20, 1506. Although he was off in his calculations as to which country was where, Columbus was a visionary of his time for believing that other lands were out there and for having the courage and the perseverance to go find them. Happy Columbus Day to all!

Each student and faculty member has an iPad, which provides access to innumerable reference materials, organizational tools, and content area applications. STEM learning opportunities abound with a variety of clubs and activities for those wishing to deepen their knowledge within the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. Dedication to the core values of “Civility, Order, and Respect” (COR) is paramount, as is the development of strong study and time management skills. Principal Brother Kenneth Hoagland, S.M., says, “I have always found that students who are most involved are most successful academically. Students who are engaged in after-school activities have a limited amount of time to get their homework done, and therefore use their time most efficiently with regards to completing assignments. Time management skills are essential for success in higher education and all other future life experiences.” Focusing on the development of the whole person, a strong emphasis is placed on the formation and growth of faith in each and every Kellenberg Memorial student. Through daily prayer, personal reflection, monthly mass, school-wide prayer services, divisional retreats, Advent and Lenten Missions, as well as a wealth of extra-curricular activities centered around community service and personal sacrifice, students are invited to experience their faith on a deeper level and incorporate that faith into their daily lives. Assistant Principal for Activities Brother Roger Poletti, S.M., adds, “Kellenberg is an arena where you are not called to just witness the faith, but to embrace it by using the God-given skills you have developed to enrich the lives of our fellow students and our surrounding communities.” With over 80 athletic teams, 27 sports, and over 90 activities, Kellenberg Memorial truly lives up to its nickname as “The School That Never Sleeps.” The

Lourdes Rohan (Yale University ’22), Kellenberg Memorial’s Class of 2018 Valedictorian, delivers her address at the 31st Commencement Exercises. wide range of activities and athletic opportunities offer something to pique almost any interest. 92% of Kellenberg Memorial students in grades 6 through 12 are involved with at least one sport or activity. For sports in which the demand is very great, freshman, junior varsity, and varsity level teams have been created in order to allow for maximum participation and enthusiasm. Mr. Kenneth Conrade the Assistant Principal for Academics explains the importance of the marriage of academics with extracurricular involvement, saying, “Extracurricular activities and sports challenge the students to learn about themselves and the world around them. New talents, modes of operating, and social interactions are discovered through such participation. While the classroom is primarily instructional, the after-school world should be exploratory and challenging in its own way. It might be best said that students should learn to be ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable’ as they learn to broaden their personalities, talents, and experience levels.” Each June Kellenberg Memorial graduates a new class of students who move onto top colleges and universities. However, it is certainly not the end of their Kellenberg connection, but, instead, a new beginning in a growing relationship with their alma mater. All graduates automatically become members of the Kellenberg Memorial Alumni Association. The Alumni Association provides opportunities for all Kellenberg Memorial alumni to maintain contact with each other and the school. This is done through the biannual distribution of Heart & Mind, the Kellenberg Memorial family magazine, as well as the organization of reunions and various

socials to appeal to a wide audience of alumni. Kellenberg Memorial’s alumni community gives back to the school in many ways to ensure that the students of today, as well as future students, receive the same quality education of the heart and mind that has propelled them forward to success in their own professional and personal lives. Along with philanthropic support, members of the alumni community frequently return to campus to take part in educational programming for current students, such as Junior Career Night and the STEM Talk Series. Omar Syed, M.D., FAANS ’97 is an accomplished neurosurgeon who carves time out his busy schedule annually to return to campus to discuss the field of

medicine with juniors at Career Night. He explains why he feels it is important to give back to today’s students, saying, “The well-rounded education I received at Kellenberg provided me with what I needed to succeed, both professionally and socially, in college, medical school, and during my neurosurgical career. It is important for today’s students to know that they have the tools needed to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment. The foundation they receive in Kellenberg Memorial is truly an excellent one. I have always looked back fondly on my years there.” Recent graduate Lourdes Rohan ’18 echoes Dr. Syed’s appreciation for the Marianist high school education they received, saying, “For me, Kellenberg Memorial was an environment in which I could always grow in faith and knowledge. I was also encouraged to pursue my interests inside and outside of the classroom. It is because of this support and encouragement I received from peers and faculty that I was able to identify my passions, which I’ve chosen to pursue in college.” To learn more about the unique benefits of an education of the heart and mind at Kellenberg Memorial, please visit the school’s Open House on Saturday, October 13, 2018.

Navigating tech choices for school use

Technology is essential in the daily lives of students. Whether it’s kids learning their ABC’s or graduate students pursuing advanced degrees, technology has transformed the way lessons are taught and learned.

they may be lacking the processing pop unless consumers are willing to pay more for laptops with high performance. Another shortcoming of laptops is that they generally have smaller screens than desktop computers, which can make working on fine details more challenging.

Statistics support the notion that technology in the classroom is irreplaceable. According to data from the tutoring resource PracTutor, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and various colleges, 98 percent of schools have one or more computers in the classroom. In addition, 77 percent of teachers use the internet for instruction, while 40 percent of teachers report students use computers during instructional time in the classroom. Many instructors now assign homework that must be completed online. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at computer usage among 15-year-olds across 31 nations and regions. Many students in high-performing nations reported spending between one and two hours a day on a computer outside of school. Because computers are so necessary in and out of the classroom, families and students may want to revisit their options before buying new devices. Desktop computer Desktop computers used to be the go-to for families and students, and there

Tablets Tablets offer the most in terms of portability. They’re lightweight and small and offer a wealth of access in a compact package. Today’s tablets offer much more than the first such devices to hit the market. Some can run apps and equivalent programs that were once exclusive to desktop and laptop computers. Tablets also tend to be less expensive than desktops or laptops. are still many reasons why desktops make sense. In addition to their relatively inexpensive sticker price, desktop computers allow students to customize their packages according to their needs and get a powerful operating system in the process. New and advanced processing speeds also mean that many desktop computers can be relied on for educational purposes while also being fast enough to handle recreational gaming. One of the main disadvantages of desktop computers is their lack of porta-

bility. Desktops are not easily moved, and if repairs are necessary, it can be a hassle to have them fixed. Laptop computers Over the last decade, laptop computers have become more popular than desktop computers, largely because of their portability. Laptops are designed to be taken from place to place, so students can use them for note-taking in the classroom and then studying at home. Although laptop processors have just about caught up to desktop processors,

Where tablets may fall short is in the peripherals. It’s difficult to connect backup drives and other accessories to tablets. However, with advancements in cloudbased storage, this may not be an issue. Also, note-taking on virtual keyboards may be more challenging, and working on tablets’ small screens can be tiresome over time. Convertible tablet/laptops are now emerging to bridge these gaps. Shopping for a new computer can be complicated, but basing purchases on need rather than want can help guide the process.

3 tips to finding the right graduate program Graduate school allows college graduates the chance to intensify their studies as they pursue advanced degrees. Many professions require advanced degrees, but students may enroll in graduate school for various reasons, including their own intellectual curiosity and the chance to improve their earning potential. Choosing a graduate program is an important decision that can impact students’ career prospects and financial futures. According to Peterson’s Real Guide to Colleges and Universities, the average annual tuition for a graduate program at a public university is $30,000, while graduate students at private universities can expect to pay nearly $40,000 each year. Such figures illustrate just how important it is for prospective graduate students to find the right schools for them. 1. Conduct exhaustive research. Because the cost of graduate school is so substantial, students should be extra diligent when researching potential grad schools. Gather as much information about each school as possible, even contacting department heads and/or professors to learn if a given program is best for you. Graduate programs tend to be specialized, so make sure each school

you’re considering offers exactly what you’re seeking. For example, graduate programs in history may specialize in a particular period of history. As a result, students who want to pursue graduate degrees in history must find the program that allows them to study the period that most interests them. Finding such programs requires extensive research, so students must afford themselves ample time. 2. Speak to current students and recent graduates. Current students and recent graduates can provide a unique perspective that prospective grad students won’t get from brochures or online research, no matter how exhaustive that research might be. Encourage students and recent grads to be candid, asking them about their experiences as grad students and, for recent grads, how they fared in the job market after earning their degrees. Don’t discount the latter, as grad school is an investment of time, energy and money, and that should lead to professional fulfillment upon graduating. 3. Be realistic about your finances. While many people enroll in gradu-

ate programs to improve their earning potential, some students may not enjoy that benefit. The cost of grad school varies depending on the school and the program, but prospective grad students may want to change their plans if the cost of obtaining an advanced degree will greatly affect their financial freedom for years to come. Students worried about their postgrad school earning potential may want

DID YOU KNOW?

to choose less expensive programs so they can still pursue their degrees without mortgaging their financial futures. Graduate school requires a substantial investment of time, energy and money. Prospective grad students should do everything possible to ensure they invest in the grad school that best suits their particular needs.

According to an Experian College Graduate Survey conducted in 2016, 58 percent of soon-to-be graduates acknowledged they had a credit card, and 30 percent admitted they had credit card debt. The average debt of the respondents was more than $2,500, a substantial sum considering that much of it is likely consumer debt, and not the so-called “good debt” like car loans or mortgage payments that can help young people establish their credit histories. A report from the Institute of College Access and Success indicated that the average member of the college class of 2015 graduated with $30,100 in student loan debt. Student loans are often repaid over many years, with some repayment schedules extending more than a decade. In addition, as long as students make their payments on time and in full, the amount of interest they will pay if their loans come with fixed rates will remain the same. Students’ credit card debt is not the same, and students who can only afford to pay the minimum payments each month will see the amount of interest they’re paying grow considerably until the balance is completely paid off. That’s one reason why students must learn the difference between consumer debt and student loan debt and how accumulating the former is far more detrimental to students’ financial futures than accruing the latter.

How to save on college housing costs

College is expensive, and the costs are only rising. Scholarships and grants can help mitigate the costs of higher education, but even students who receive such aid could find themselves scrambling for ways to make college more affordable.

untoward happens on the floors they’re tasked with looking after. Students who may want to apply for RA positions should first confirm if serving as an RA will affect their overall financial aid package and how great that impact might be.

Housing is one of the more expensive costs for college students and their families. According to the College Board, the average cost for room and board during the 2016-2017 school year was $10,440 at four-year public schools and $11,890 at private colleges and universities. And those costs typically cover housing for just the school year, which may last anywhere from six to eight months. However, there are ways for students and their families to reduce those costs.

• Live with roommates even after leaving the dorms. Due to limited space, many colleges insist dorm residents live with roommates. Upperclassmen who are moving out of the dorms and into university or off-campus apartments can save money by continuing to live with roommates. This can be especially beneficial to students who will be living in off-campus housing where amenities such as electricity, cable television and water are unlikely to be included in the cost of the rent.

• Examine your dormitory options. Many schools assign students to dormitories for their freshman years, giving students little say with regard to where they will live. However, students might have more input in their housing come their sophomore, junior and senior years. Some dorms might be more attractive and offer more amenities than others, but students and families looking to save money on housing costs should opt to live in the most budget-friendly dorms available to them. In addition, choose to live with a roommate rather than in a single room, as singles tend to cost substantially more

than double rooms. • Sign up to be a resident advisor. Resident advisors, or RAs, often receive free housing in exchange for living in dormitories when they are upperclassmen or graduate students. RAs help newly enrolled or younger students adjust to campus life while also ensuring nothing

• Commute to school. While it might not be ideal, commuting to school can save college students and their families substantial amounts of money. Public university students who did so during the 2016-2017 school year might have saved nearly $11,000, or $44,000 in four years. That’s money that can be used to pay tuition or finance postgraduate educations. College housing costs can be considerable. But budget-conscious students and families can save on such costs in various ways.

NYU School of Professional Studies Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies Affordable Associates Degrees Within Your Reach Perhaps you or someone you know has thought about earning an associates degree, but has not gotten around to enrolling or even making the time to investigate options. Many people do not know that the NYU School of Professional Studies (NYUSPS) Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies offers a truly affordable option for earning an associates degree. In order to encourage students to begin college studies or return to school, NYUSPS recently lowered the cost on its associates degrees, which are now comparable in price to earning a degree at a local community college. The difference is that students benefit from a stellar NYU

education that will open the doors to a wealth of new opportunities. Whether they are pursuing an undergraduate degree for the first time or are returning to school after a hiatus, an NYU education is now well within their reach. Financial aid advisers help students to make the best decisions about financing their education. They guide students on the costs for earning their degree and help them to navigate the process by which to apply for financial aid. Scholarships are also available for those who qualify. NYUSPS associates degrees are designed for students who have earned a high school diploma at least one year ago (students entering this program are typically 19 years or older, with many in their 20s, 30s, and 40s). These degrees serve as an introduction to a professional career or as the first major milestone in a student’s college education. Upon graduation, the credits students earn are transferable to the Division’s bachelors degree programs, allowing them to seamlessly complete the next phase of their education. The associates degrees are perfect for students who decided to take a break after high school or who stopped out of college before earning at least 60 transferable college credits. While enrolling in college later

in life can seem daunting, NYUSPS makes it easy, walking students through the process and helping them to get acclimated to attending classes and to producing college-level work. The range and diversity of academic programs offer unparalleled opportunities for intellectual stimulation and professional growth. Associates degrees provide rigorous curriculum that enables students to acquire knowledge that is immediately applicable on the job. Students build critical analytical thinking skills, gain academic insight, and develop personal and professional relationships—all within a highly supportive environment. The NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies faculty and staff members are committed to ensuring student success.

The NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies offers four associates degrees: the AA in Liberal Arts, the AAS in Business, the AAS in Health Administration, and the AAS in Information Systems Management. Each of these degrees provides a solid liberal arts core—the hallmark of the wellrounded education that hiring managers seek. From day one, the professionally oriented programs immerse students in industry focused content that readies them for the job market or for additional studies at the baccalaureate level. The Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts allows students to explore a broad range of subjects that will build critical thinking skills, develop invaluable quantitative reasoning skills, and ground them in history and culture. The Associate of Applied Science in Business prepares students with quantitative reasoning skills in accounting, economics, and marketing, while building knowledge about different economies, cultures, and approaches to conducting business globally. The Associate of Applied Science in Health Administration prepares students for roles in managing healthcare systems efficiently and effectively. The Associate of Applied Science in Information Systems Management prepares students

to design, operate, and evaluate competitive technology alternatives to meet an organization’s needs. Central to an NYUSPS education is a strong foundation in the liberal arts. An academic requirement that all NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies students must fulfill, the 32 credits of liberal arts core courses provide critical information and develop a broad range of competencies that form the basis for more specialized and professionally oriented study. The curriculum is enriched by access to the exceptional cultural, economic, political, creative, technical, and business resources of New York City. Classes held during days and evenings, intensives, and online degrees and courses cater to students who are often balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Flexible course schedules

and formats ensure that students can earn their degree as quickly as possible, in a way that fits their busy lifestyle. NYUSPS associates degree students also benefit from career resources offered through their academic division, as well as from career development/management services provided by the School and the University at large. The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development at the NYU School of Professional Studies and the University’s Wasserman Center for Career Development work in partnership with the School’s academic program areas to provide supplemental services and programs specifically designed for NYU School of Professional Studies students.

How to identify and stop cyberbullying Today’s students have many new things to contend with as they navigate the school year. As a greater number of schools transition to providing lessons, homework and tests on digital devices, students spend much more time online. This connectivity can have many positive results. However, the same availability also opens up students of all ages to various dangers.

tion about a person publicly. When information has been disseminated throughout the internet, one has been “outed.” • Fraping: Fraping occurs when someone logs into another’s social media account and impersonates him or her. This could be a child or an adult impersonating the person and posting inappropriate content in his or her name. Sometimes this type of bullying is also called “posing” or “catfishing.”

One of these dangers is a more invasive form of bullying called “cyberbullying.” The global organization DoSomething.org says nearly half of kids have been bullied online, with one in four saying it has happened more than once. Cyberbullying has grown as access to computers and devices that offer an online connection has grown. Bullying is now just as likely to occur online as it is on the playground. Cyberbullies may bully classmates through email, social media, instant messaging, and other social applications. Since cyberbullying tends to target emotions and mental well-being, and reaches beyond the school campus into a student’s home, its impact can be even more serious. According to the Megan Meier Foundation, which campaigns against bullying, peer victimization during adolescence is associated with higher rates of depression, suicide ideation and suicide attempts. In the United States, suicide

• Masquerading: Masquerading occurs when bullies create fake profiles so they can harass someone anonymously. The bully is likely someone the person being targeted knows well.

Children, adolescents and young adults can be the victims of a pervasive type of abuse called cyberbullying. is the second leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 15 and 24, according to data compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Cyberbullying occurs in many different forms. Here are some types of cyberbullying educators and parents can look for if they suspect their students or chil-

dren are being bullied. • Flaming: This is a type of bullying that occurs in an online forum or group conversation. It’s achieved by sending angry or insulting messages directly to the person. Flaming is similar to harassment, but harassment usually involves privately sent messages. • Outing: This type of bullying is a sharing of personal and private informa-

Treat kids to lunches that meet all needs School lunch may seem like a relatively easy concept for parents to master. However, day in and day out, enterprising moms and dads grow anxious over what to put into kids’ lunch boxes or bags. Parents have foods they want their kids to eat, and then there are foods their grade-schoolers will actually consider. Schools may also place limitations on what kids can bring to school due to allergies or school rules on sweets versus healthy foods. Then there’s the packaging itself. Parents may weigh the benefits of everything from clever accessories to eco-friendly materials. Removing school lunch stress is easy. Once these steps are conquered, sending children off to school with acceptable meals becomes that much easier. Foods Keep a running list of must-have foods to stock the pantry. This will make it easier when it’s time to go shopping. Picky eaters may return again and again to familiar comfort foods. As long as the child is getting enough vitamins and growing, there should be little issue in letting him and her eat the same foods day in and day out. Because parents cannot police what their children eat at school, it’s better to devote time to introducing new foods during breakfast or dinner. Involve kids in some of the food decisions, especially since they are the ones eating the lunch at school. Certain foods may not keep well or become less appealing after sitting in backpacks until lunchtime. Respect kids’

input and try to make some changes accordingly. Restrictions Researchers have estimated that food allergies affect one in every 13 children under the age of 18 in the United States alone. That equates to two in every classroom. The group Food Allergy Research & Education says eight foods account for the majority of all reactions: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, wheat, fish and shellfish. Parents should be cognizant of common food allergies and be considerate of other kids in the classroom who may have allergies by limiting some of the most common allergy-associated foods in their children’s lunches. Packaging The way foods are presented can improve the dining experience. Just ask professional chefs who go to great lengths on creative “plating” in restaurants. Children who are fussy about foods touching might enjoy one of the economical (and eco-friendly) designs of reusable bento boxes, which separate foods into different sections. They also help parents pack perfect portion sizes for healthier eating habits. Snack and food containers now come in colorful and clever designs that appeal to the toy-lover in most kids. Also, lunch gear manufacturers are thinking outside the sandwich to offer pouches and baggies that are leakproof so that smoothies, soups and yogurts can be enjoyed during lunch, too.

• Exclusion: Sometimes direct targeting is not necessary. Students can be bullied simply by being deliberately left out, such as not being invited to parties or encouraged to participate online conversations. Securing privacy online is one way to prevent cyberbullying attacks. Students also can be selective about who they share personal information with or whose social media friendships they accept. Thinking before posting and paying attention to language and tone can help curb cyberbullying as well. Students should stick together and report instances of cyberbullying if it becomes an issue.

Kindergarten can be a pivotal time in a young child’s life. Although many kids attend preschool or receive guided learning at home, kindergarten marks students’ first official foray into the classroom. This is an exciting time for kids and parents, and also one that may be fraught with nerves. That is especially true for parents who are not quite sure if their children are ready to begin their academic careers. While many school districts mandate that students must be at least five years old to begin kindergarten, age is not the only factor to consider when gauging kids’ readiness for school. Child-education experts note that there is no single factor that determines kids’ readiness for school, but rather there is a host of factors that, when taken together, can help parents determine if their youngster is ready for the rigors of the classroom. The following are some factors parents can consider as they try to determine if their children are ready to enroll in kindergarten. • Separation anxiety: Does your child handle separation well, or is he or she prone to meltdowns each time you leave for even a short period of time? School requires kids to spend several hours away from home and away from their parents, and parents might need to take steps to

• Coping strategies: Parenting experts affiliated with Care.com say that children on the verge of entering kindergarten should be able to control their emotions to a certain extent. While children may occasionally cry in the kindergarten classroom, it’s important that your child be able to cope with some of the ups and downs of classroom life without shedding tears.

increase youngsters’ comfort levels away from home before school begins. • Follows instructions: Experts at BabyCenter.com advise that children who are able to listen to simple instructions and follow them will be more apt to thrive in classroom settings. They also will be more capable of keeping up with teachers and peers. • Self-sufficiency: Has your child exhibited signs that he or she can be self-reliant? This includes putting on his or her

coat, dressing himself or herself and being able to use the bathroom on his or her own. If not, then you might need to work on the child’s self-sufficiency before school begins. • Cursory knowledge of letters/numbers: While children on the verge of entering kindergarten need not be experts in language and mathematics, kindergarten curricula has become more rigorous thanks to the implementation of new standards. As a result, children should be

• Interest in learning: Another indicator of school readiness is a general interest in learning. Children who like hearing stories, enjoy participating in discussions and activities and are stimulated by information and interactions with others are probably ready to begin their academic careers. Kindergarten readiness can be determined by many factors. Age alone does not dictate a child’s readiness, as there are many additional potential indicators that can help parents determine if their youngsters are ready to begin school.

Ski Titans’ Epic, Ikon Season Passes Battle for Skier Loyalty C ontinued from page D5 per hour. Primarily manufactured in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, its mid-station will load 200 meters below the midpoint of the Wizard and Solar Chairs it replaces. Connecting to the PEAK 2 PEAK and Village gondolas, it completes the longest circuitous lift system in the world, at a ride just shy of 12km. Heavenly Lake Tahoe: New at Heavenly Lake Tahoe are guided UTV Tours. The winter tours leave from the top of the gondola for a 45-minute ride accessing scenic viewpoints at 10,000 feet elevation. Guides traverse to Blue Sky Terrace and stop along the way to discuss Lake Tahoe, environmental interpretation aspects, along with photo opportunities that are otherwise inaccessible. Lakeland Village Resort, an expansive retreat right on the shores of Lake Tahoe, opens this season. This beautiful townhome property boasts 19 acres of lakeside woodlands, and stunning views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra, making it an incredibly scenic place to stay less than a mile from Heavenly Resort. Hop on the onsite shuttle to nearby casinos, restaurants and downtown. As a Heavenly operated property, guests can buy lift tickets, book ski school and plan the entire stay right on location. Park City, Utah: Slated to debut at Park City in time for the 2018-19 winter season, the new High Meadow Park at Canyons Village will offer guests a dedicated learning area designed exclusively for beginner skiers. The

existing High Meadow four-passenger lift is being replaced with a high-speed, four-passenger lift, increasing uphill capacity by 50 percent and shortening overall ride time by 70 percent. Additional snowmaking throughout the area will further ensure guests ideal snow surface conditions for learning. Keystone, Colorado: Keystone’s popular Kidtopia Signature Event Series will feature three distinct events throughout the winter to complement the family experience at Keystone. The Kidtopia Spectacular, Nov. 24-Dec. 24, marks the first signature event of the winter and welcomes the holiday season with a mountaintop celebration and lighting ceremony of the world’s largest snow fort. The Kidtopia Culinary Festival, Feb. 9-17, features a savory lineup tailored to the youngest of foodies. The Kidtopia Music Experience, March 1-10, begins the spring skiing and snowboarding season with music-themed fun including the Snow Pants Dance Party, a live outdoor music performance by popular familyfriendly acts Beaver Creek, Colorado: Beaver Creek’s New Haymeadow Park Learning Area: Following the debut of Red Buffalo Park during the 2017-18 season, Beaver Creek Resort is debuting a second signature learning area in 2018-19. At the heart of Haymeadow Park are a beginner gondola and lift, Haymeadow Express Gondola (#1) and Highlands Lift (#2), plus adjacent magic carpets designed for beginner skiers and riders of all ages. Beaver Creek’s innovative learning terrain is designed around creating the most

enjoyable beginner experience with snow terrain features perfectly sculpted to ensure a guests’ first skiing and riding experience is positive. Terrain improvements include a learning area with small terrain features, a beginner race course, Buffalo Bumps and Berms, and Ske-Cology environmental learning. Haymeadow Park amenities also include culinary delights such as the new Ice Cream Parlour located at the The Ranch offering nostalgic ice cream novelties or a quick soup and sandwich lunch. An exclusive specialty kid-designed restaurant lunch area is also provided at The Ranch for kids enrolled in Ski School. For more discerning palates, guests can

enjoy gourmet, ski-in lunch service at SaddleRidge Restaurant, renowned for its gourmet Colorado regional cuisine. __________________ © 2018 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Students at John F. Kennedy Middle School in the Bethpage School District honored Constitution Day on September 17th by participating in the school’s annual Preamble Challenge. In a challenge created by Principal Kevin Fullerton, each student had the opportunity to memorize and recite all of the words in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. Those students willing to participate gathered in a classroom during the final 15 minutes of their lunch period to recite the Preamble in front of the judge – Mr. Fullerton.

The student from each grade who recited all of the words correctly in the shortest amount of time is rewarded a special lunch with their social studies teacher as well as Mr. Fullerton and Assistant Principal Erin Hayes. The district congratulates the winners and all participants. This year’s winners are sixth grader Matthew Cusumano, seventh grader Adrienne Blonder and eighth grader Georgia Karaisarides. The school’s overall runner-up is sixth grader Marco Perla.
