Sound Smart at a Party We always knew Big Cat Diary on Animal Planet was a bad influence on our kitties. New research from

the University of Georgia shows that house cats are killing more wildlife than we thought. Outdoor pets in the Athens, Ga., area were equipped with kittycams for seven to 10 days, and footage showed that cats don’t always bring their victims home to show off. In fact, the cameras revealed that cats only bring home less than a quarter of their kills, eat 30 percent and leave 49 percent behind to rot. Even more surprisingly, mice and birds weren’t the top animals felines slaughter. Birds only made up 12 percent of the victims, while lizards, snakes and frogs were the most unlikely prey at 41 percent. The cats in the study were often recorded as being a danger to themselves as well, by crossing roadways, eating things they found and exploring storm drains… A Tennessee man who clearly doesn’t follow politics was arrested after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend because he thought she was cheating on him with Mitt Romney.

saw her post a photo of a strange man on her Facebook. He didn’t buy her flimsy “it’s the GOP presidential candidate” excuse, so he allegedly smashed her laptop against the wall and punched her in the face. He’s now facing domestic assault charges, and hopefully taking a crash course in the current presidential race… Honesty isn’t just the best policy, it’s the best health policy as well. According to a new study, those

who make a point to tell the truth often have better mental and physical health. Half of the 110 study participants (who ranged from 18-years-old to 71-years-old) were asked to make a conscious effort to stop telling lies, while the other half weren’t asked to do anything lie related. For the next 10 weeks of the study, participants came in weekly to take polygraph and health tests. Researchers found that those who told fewer white lies felt less tension and melancholy, and suffered fewer headaches and sore throats… Speaking of telling white lies, Scotland teacher Derek McGlone must get migraines from the fibs he’s told his employers.

teacher recently admitted to lying on several occasions between June 2008 and May 2011. And we’re not talking about faking-the-sniffles-overthe-phone kind of lies. He once told school officials that he had just run over a little girl with his car. Another time he called from his Glasgow home to tell his bosses he was stuck in a volcanic ash cloud in Iceland. It gets better. When he found out that his colleagues had reported him, he went on a drunken Facebook rant, writing that they were “bitches” and that he would “hunt them down.” He resigned, but has said he wants to go back to teaching. This guy sounds like a perfect role model for impressionable teenagers…

Letters to the Press Save The Conservation District The Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District has long provided cost-effective, efficient and valuable services to all of the people of Nassau County. Since the district opened in 1977, it has been serving residents, businesses, nonprofits, agencies, schools and municipalities with environmental expertise and assistance. Like all conservation districts throughout New York State and the nation, it is a proven public-private partnership that leverages local taxpayer dollars by bringing in funding from grants, state matching funds and other sources. Yet, Nassau County may soon become the only county in the state without a Soil and Water Conservation District. The steady decline in funding over the last four years has depleted the district’s small reserves and it may close. Soil and Water Conservation Districts are unique in their ability to work with all groups and provide service that local governments cannot provide on their own. The Nassau County SWCD enhances the local mandated stormwater program and brings innovation that government cannot provide alone; provides mandated state Department of Environmental Conservation-certified sediment and erosioncontrol training for contractors and municipal officials so that our waterways are protected from stormwater runoff; designs and helps build news

rain gardens, which conserve freshwater and help reduce runoff; replants dunes and wetlands with appropriate plants to reduce erosion and provide habitat for birds, fish, and other animals; helps manage the farmland purchased by the county under the county environmental bond acts so that they can be preserved as the voters requested; educates school children and the general public in environmental practices; leads the way in Nassau County in the promotion of green infrastructure techniques. Unless the county restores a sustainable funding level in the next budget, the district will be forced to close. The financial impact would be immediate. The district would be compelled to refuse a $75,000 grant and would lose out on up to $60,000 in matching funds provided through the state Environmental Protection Fund—an outcome that makes no financial or environmental sense. Soil and Water Conservation Districts are recognized as a valuable tool throughout New York State and the nation. Nassau County needs to keep this valuable resource funded.

NEWSDAY—OFF TARGET The Island’s lone daily newspaper runs a list of the “100 Songs Every Long Islander Should Know” and gives the No. 1 spot to Billy Joel’s “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.” The tune beat out songs by Lou Reed, Public Enemy, Blue Oyster Cult, Debbie Gibson, the Stray Cats, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Mariah Carey, Twisted Sister, John Coltrane, Eddie Money, Joan Jett, the levi Ramones, and a slew of other LI artists. Really!? Brenda and Eddie over Sheena and Dee Dee!? We think not.

LEVI—BULL’S EYE Bristol Palin’s ex-boyfriend Levi Johnson announces he’ll seek full custody of their son Tripp—former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s grandson— after watching the toddler drop an F-bomb on Palin’s Lifetime reality series Life’s a Tripp. Wait…the tyke’s dropping curse words after living with guntoting, wolf-slaughtering, snowmobile-riding, geographically impaired rightwing Alaskan war mongers? Does he like Billy Joel!? Get this kid a job at Newsday!

JETS—PARTIAL SCORE The Green Machine’s training camp twice devolves into what the New York Daily News dubs “Camp Chaos” when brawls break out among players and Coach Rex Ryan is forced to show the team he means business. His punishment: penalty sprints and free tickets to The Dark Knight Rises and Total Recall. Hey, Rex, we heard Total Recall sucked, but the new Batman movie!? Seems to be doing pretty well at the box office! The Babymakers flop would’ve been more appropriate. ELTON—PARTIAL SCORE Sir Elton “Hercules” John reignites his long-smoldering feud with Madonna, calling the Material Girl “a nightmare,” her tour “a disaster” and telling Australian TV’s Sunday Night that she “looks like a f—king fairground stripper.” Maybe so, Elton, but you must admit she has a point in saying your son Zachary’s godmother Lady Gaga did an “interesting redo” of Her Madgesty’s “Express Yourself” with “Born This Way.” Wait a minute…where’s that song on Newsday’s list!? METS—OFF TARGET Having all but fallen completely apart since the All-Star break, Mets manager Terry Collins attempts to rally his struggling team by reviving one of its most expensive underperformers to date, left outfielder Jason Bay, in the hopes that regular playing time would awaken the sleeping hitter. Bay failed, miserably, getting two hits for 31 at bats. Hey, Terry, have you tried free movie tickets yet!? They’re working wonders for the Jets! We suggest Total Recall and The Babymakers!

The Pink Slip

Irene Dorner After a yearlong investigation, a Senate subcommittee has alleged that HSBC’s U.S. bank was a money-launderer for Mexican drug cartels and a Saudi bank with ties to al-Qaida, as well as an enabler of evading sanctions against Iran and North Korea. Irene Dorner, CEO of HSBC Bank USA and its North American holdings, told Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), whose committee issued the damning 335-page report last month, that “we have some ways to go to regain the trust of regulators and the public.” Indeed. Levin said HSBC “is a global bank that failed to comply with rules aimed at combating terrorism, drug trafficking and the money laundering that fuels so much of what threatens the global community.” The bank has very nice headquarters in Manhattan, built in the Beaux-Arts style, but behind its beautiful façade who knows what kind of shady business is still going on? Lawmakers want to use HSBC as a “case study,” and the spotlight has already cost one top-level U.S. employee his job. Dorner, who’s been at HSBC for 30 years, remains, and her vile boss Stuart Gulliver is still in charge in London. We can only do so much with the power invested in the Pink Slip, as loyal readers know, but somebody must pay for Wall Street banks acting like crime families, so let it be her. Dorner… You’re fired!

CUOMO—OFF TARGET After pushing to decriminalize small amounts of pot in public view—lowering the punishment for possession of 25 grams or less from a misdemeanor to a violation with a $100 fine—Gov. Andrew Cuomo cracks down on designer drugs and fake pot, making its sale and possession punishable by up to 15 days in jail and a fine. Talk about mixed messages. Hey, Gov, ever consider coaching a sports team? The Jets, perhaps!?

The Rundown

1. TiVo STEPHEST COLBCHELLA ‘012 ROCKTAUGUSTFEST: Stephen Colbert, everyone’s favorite news source (besides us, of course), will hold his second annual music festival on The Colbert Report, during the week of Aug. 13. Featured acts include The Flaming Lips, Grandmaster Flash, Grizzly Bear and Santigold. The concert will be held on New York City’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Says Colbert: “Does Bonnaroo have cruise missiles? I think not.” 2. VISIT CMONSONONLINE.COM: James Roberts, better known as Ed Lover, has been starring in his own series of YouTube videos for years, and they’re still as great as when he started. Roberts gives his take on current events, often offering a derisive “C’mon, Son!” to celebrities and musicians for their blunders. It is absolutely hilarious, but both the site and videos are most definitely NSFW. 3. TOUR COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB: Not only does this place have a history of ground-breaking discoveries, it is simply gorgeous. Stop by for a 1.5-hour guided walking tour on Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. to explore the grounds, architecture and the lab’s Nobel Prize history. Fun fact: CSHL has its own bar and private beach. And you never know who you may bump into. Last time we stopped by, James Watson was strolling around campus. Yep, the Father of DNA, himself—no big deal or anything.

4. GOOGLE “MLB HACK DEADSPIN”: This will take you to deadspin.com’s article about the brazen young individual hacking into the Facebook pages of various MLB franchises. So far, the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Chicago White Sox, and several others are among the victims. Whew. Here’s a sample from the Washington Nationals’ Facebook page: “We’re going back to Montreal. SEE YA SUCKERS!!!!!!!” 5. CELEBRATE DISCO: Get out your platform shoes and head to Eisenhower Park for a night of disco madness under the stars. There will be dancing and maybe even the streets, a light show and all sorts of groovy-ness going down on Aug. 11 when the sun sets. Be there.

The score Ann Romney’s horse Rafalca got in the dressage competition at the London Games—not enough to advance to the finals.

7. FOLLOW MIKE AND IKE’S MESSY BREAK-UP ON FACEBOOK: Like all good splits, this one’s public. If you head over to facebook.com/mikeandike, you can finally get your hands on all the juicy info. One of them is going into the music biz, and the other wants to be an artist. Who’s the aspiring artist, you ask? You’ll have to go online to find out! Spoiler alert: It’s totally Ike.

B-List B-Day Joe “I’ll Call You Maybe” Jonas August 15, 1989

Joe Jonas, a Leo, is mainly known as a member of the Jonas Brothers, the threebrother boy band from the Jersey Shore. But he’s also an actor, a solo artist, and, like many Leos, a heartbreaker. Of course, you can’t really call guest-starring on Hannah Montana acting, but he did film a Disney Channel Original Movie with his brothers, and he also starred in a Jonas Brothers reality TV show and original series. His solo album, Fastlife, was released in 2011 and sold 25,000 copies over the next two months. As for his heartbreaker status, it was established after he famously, or perhaps, infamously, dumped Taylor Swift over the phone in October 2008. Leos are said to have good reasons for ending their relationships, but really, over the phone? C’mon.

8. GOOGLE “GOOGLE’S NEW LONDON HQ”: Head over to Google and take a look at their third London office. It’s pretty weird. Some walls are cushioned, some are leather, and there are amenities, such as a gym, dance studio and even a bike dryer. It also has an allotment garden, where Google employees can grow their own crops. Now all you need to do is get a job there. 9. BUY DEATH WISH COFFEE: Dark, rich, flavorful and highly caffeinated coffee beans roasted in upstate New York, this is the strongest coffee in the world, guaranteed. It’s an eco-friendly brew with 200 percent more caffeine than regular ol’ dark roast. You can try a 2-oz. sample for $2.99 at www.deathwishcoffee.com. But we advise against trying much more than that unless, of course, you actually do have a death wish.

10. GET A JOB!

If you don’t have that job at Google lined up, come winter you’ll no longer be lounging on the beach, but shoveling snow. Don’t get stuck shoveling snow. Attend the Long Island Job Fair at the Courtyard by Marriott in Ronkonkoma from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on August 13. column

Little Boy Blue: A puppy’s rescue from death row and his owner’s journey for truth by Kim Kavin When journalist Kim Kavin started digging into the past of her rescue puppy Blue, she uncovered a world that she couldn’t have imagined in her worst nightmares. A world where “unwanted” dogs and puppies are sent to gas chambers that are funded by American taxpayers who have no idea they’re paying $15 million a year for these inhumane practices to continue. For an animal lover, Kavin’s detailed descriptions about what goes on behind closed doors at these shelters can be tough to read. But her book also tells the stories of devoted rescuers who spend enormous amounts of money and time trying to save dogs from death’s door. Kavin is a true journalist, and gives every side of the story a chance, showing that the line between good and bad sometimes becomes blurred. She is able to give numbers and statistics a voice, forcing readers to become educated as they turn the pages. This is a book that no one wants to read, but everyone should. A portion of the sale proceeds goes to Petfinder.com. —Lindsay Christ

It’s likely that at some point, you’ve been frustrated with how small they are, especially if you like to dip burgers and chicken nuggets in ketchup. Thanks to publisher Elie Ayrouth, your prayers have been answered. She explains how in actuality, the small paper cups are designed to fan out, increasing the surface area for dipping.

Live Love Velo Jenn Solomon

CIO, Chief Inspiration Officer Live Love Velo

Jenn Solomon is living proof that it’s never too late to take up a sport. By setting a series of goals for herself she has surpassed even her own expectations. Growing up, Jenn says she never thought of herself as a competitive person. Her parents didn’t encourage her to play sports in school so she drifted towards theater arts. “I didn’t think I had any athletic ability,” she says. Later, while attending the State University of New York at Buffalo,

Jenn went to a recruiting event for a novice rowing team and was encouraged to try out. After a few trial runs, the coach told Jenn he thought she was one of the strongest on the team. She was in utter disbelief and thought, “How could that be?” What inspired Jenn to commit to a new sport in a serious way was the loss of her brother, Jeff, to cancer in 2006. “Jeff was a recreational cyclist and associated his bike with freedom,” she says. As her brother battled lymphoma, he believed that riding his bike would help him stay strong. In his memory, Jenn traveled to Nevada to participate in America’s

Most Beautiful Bike Ride, a 100-mile journey around Lake Tahoe which has raised more than $8.5 million to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society since its inception in 1991. Jenn didn’t own a racing bicycle, so she sold her brother’s old car, bought a new bike and went to Tahoe. Participating in that event was a life-changing decision for her. “I will never forget the moment when I said to myself, ‘I have to do this,’” she says. After her experience in Tahoe, Jenn was officially hooked on cycling. She began to train with an intensity and determination that she didn’t know she had. “I was 39 years old when I finally saw myself as an athlete,” she says. “This realization was so empowering. I really like this version of myself.” Her competitive spirit was lifted even higher when she qualified as one of three women to represent Long Island in the Empire State Games in 2007. A few months ago, Jenn felt it was time to make some life changes for her family− and her sport. She took a leave from her profession as a speech pathologist to be a stay-at-home mom. She and her husband, Adam, have three boys, aged 9, 11 and 13. Their daughter, 7, was adopted from Russia with the help of Caren Peet, LI adoption specialist and recent Fortune 52 honoree. Being home also gave Jenn the opportunity to fulfill another mission. In an association with East End Cycling in Bellport, Jenn has been busy recruiting riders for Long Island’s first and only women’s cycling team. She hopes to inspire more women to ride or race a bike−and have fun along the way. “If I build this team, I know they will come,” Jenn says. The newly-formed team named Live Love Velo (French for bicycle) aims to compete in the 2013 cycling season, which runs from March through the fall. Currently Live Love Velo has about 15 members, ranging in age from their mid-20s to mid-50s. The team roster includes moms, scientists, nurses, teachers and other professionals who are passionate about cycling while still balancing their families and careers.

The Next Fortune 52 Networking Event

will be Tuesday, October 2, 2012, at Tilles center for the performing arts from 6 - 8pm. to be a part of this evenT, email Beverly at bfortune@longislandpress com. ///////////////////////

“For cycling you need a big and diverse team of about 25 to 30 women,” Jenn says. “You have to have a large group to strategize together.” The team now races throughout the Northeast, with group rides reaching typical speeds of more than 21 miles per hour. She trains five days a week for about 90 minutes and cycles between 25 and 55 miles during each session. Even during the winter months, Jenn continues to ride. “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes,” she says. Jenn advises novice racing cyclists to achieve small goals. “If it’s their first race, I tell them their goal is to finish the race. Then, they should try to finish in front of one or two others. By the third race they should try to leave behind a quarter of the riders,” she says. As a seasoned cyclist, Jenn’s goal is to win a spot on the podium. Since Live Love Velo is still in its infancy, the team is discussing various ways they can benefit Long Island’s nonprofit organizations through fundraising and donations. “Part of our mission will be giving back to the community,” Jenn says. Endurance sports like cycling and running provide significantly greater health benefits in a shorter period of time than other sports, plus they connect the participants to nature. Jenn says because of her influence, her husband began running and has completed three marathons. “You see the world in a different way, especially when you’re on your bike,” she says. To Jenn, Live Love Velo is more than a team sport; it’s fostered a sisterhood that all its members enjoy. “We share a connection that is so powerful between health, fitness and our wellbeing.”

“I was 39 years old when I finally saw myself as an athlete. This realization was so empowering.”

Jerry’s Ink BY JERRY DELLA FEMINA, Publisher, the Independent

I Hate My iPhone Come on, admit it, you secretly hate your iPhone, too. I’ll bet that if they did an autopsy they would find that Steve Jobs died of shame because he released the iPhone to the world years before it worked right. Yes, I know there are a million apps in the iPhone. You can turn your iPhone into a flashlight to read a menu in dimly lit restaurants that should print their menus in Braille. There’s an app you can use to track your dog or your cat or a drunken 17-year-old any place in the world. And, in a pinch, if you can find the right app, you can leave your iPhone alone in your kitchen and it will cook up a delicious meal for two. There’s an app that will make your iPhone puff up and expand and soften until it turns into a bed for two. Sure, I know the apps are all wonderful. But have you tried to make a phone call with the damn thing? It has the range of a 10-foot piece of string with a Dixie Cup attached to each end. The sound is terrible and, for those of us over 50, the iPhone is single-handedly bringing back land phone lines, and pretty soon we will have a phone booth on every street like in the good old days. When I try to type a message on my iPhone, it looks like I’m typing while wearing boxing gloves. My cute fat fingers seem to touch three letters on the tiny, super-sensitive keyboard at the same time. Then there is predictive text, which tries to guess what I am about to type and tries to correct my atrocious spelling before I even finish the word. Thus, when I try to type my name, “Jerry,” the predictive text insists that my name is “Kerry.” So if you ever get a message from someone named Kerry, it’s really coming from me, Jerry. But this isn’t the worse thing about my iPhone. If you just stare at it, your iPhone will start making phone calls. And “butt calls” are costing me a fortune. I have called people I haven’t seen in years with my butt. All you have to do is put your iPhone in

your pocket and just the movement of your walking will set it off and it will start making phone calls known around the world as “butt calls.” I’ve called people living in Hong Kong at 3 a.m., their time. These are people who I haven’t been in contact for 20 years. I’ve called dead people with my iPhone. This may be my problem for keeping dead people’s phone numbers on my phone list, but I have this theory that these people, whom I love, are not really dead as long as I have their phone numbers. Yet, when I try to intentionally make a simple phone call to someone alive and less than a mile away, my iPhone gurgles, hisses and the words “Call failed” come up 90 percent of the time. And while I’m at it, Siri— the tiny woman who lives in the iPhone and is only there to be your slave—is a fraud. The executives from Apple and their ad agency should be punished for that false commercial where Siri answers any question Martin Scorsese asks her and does his bidding. Scorsese is in the back of a cab talking to Siri and she is doing everything but having sex with him. I’m sure the “Have sex with Siri” feature will be there when they release the new, improved iPhone in September. As for me, I have never had a moment when Siri did what I asked. I have begged, I have pleaded and I have cursed her. I may talk with marbles in my mouth but all I ever get from Siri is: “Sorry, I do not understand you.” Siri is a woman, and I’m used to women not listening to me or understanding me when I talk. It’s a genetic thing. In the history of the Della Feminas, no woman has ever listened to a Della Femina male. My grandfather could not get my grandmother to listen to a word he said. Same thing with my father. He would say, “Connie, here’s what I want to do today,” and my mom would smile and do whatever she planned to do. In my lifetime I have had just two women indicate that they understood what I was saying by nodding their heads when I was talking. I married both of them.

Towing a 170-lb. beer keg on the back of his company bicycle to a pub in tourist-clogged downtown Montauk on a recent sweaty summer afternoon, Vaughan Cutillo stops traffic as passersby marvel aloud at the spectacle. It’s not the handsome 27-year-old’s public show of strength that turns heads and prompts shouts of encouragement, however. Many are just learning that the Montauk Brewing Company opened its headquarters near the traffic circle six weeks ago—and that bike is among their most visible advertising. “It’s our Clydesdales,” jokes Cutillo, referring to the team of horses Budweiser uses in their promotions. His trailer-hitched beach cruiser is also symbolic of the rustic, do-it-yourself ethos spilling from the Island’s easternmost tip into its fledgling namesake craft brewery. The entrepreneur and two of his fellow ex-lifeguard buddies, Joseph Sullivan and Eric Moss, are hot wheels: The montauk brewing not yet ready to quit their day jobs at a renewable company’s delivery bicycle doubles as a roving bilboard around town during shortenergy design firm, but after experimenting with distance keg deliveries to local pubs a home-brewing kit in a basement three years (Photos by Scott Kearney/Long Island Press) ago, they aim to match other local microbreweries’ output by the end of next year. They just built their “gallery tap room”—adorned with Hamptons artists’ abstract paintings and scenic photos—out of an old wood-working company showroom. “We can’t wait to give tours,” he says between offering free 4-oz. samples to locals and day-trippers who wander in to taste the new brew in town. “We’ve been packed…even people who don’t like beer are excited.” There’s plenty to raise a glass to, between collegiality with other local brewers willing to lend a hand and the enthusiastic response from the community. “We got pretty lucky to be able to do this here,” says Cutillo. In the meantime, production of their flagship foam—Driftwood Ale, an extra special bitter with “the same bold character as Montauk”—is outsourced to a Cooperstown brewery, as is widespread practice. Cutillo and his partners are just the latest to make lemonade from economic lemons and ride the beer boom wave on Long Island, which has been undergoing a literal craft-beer Renaissance and where craft breweries have doubled in the past year. As the subculture of hopheads behind this cottage industry goes mainstream, LI’s dozen breweries will soon have even more company. Fueling the phenomenon are recently passed New York State tax breaks, an influx of craft-beer focused bars, local beer festivals and LI brewery tours—plus countless

craft beer drinkers with an unquenchable thirst for variety. LI’s microbrew binge is but a drop in the keg compared to the explosive growth the $8.7billion industry has seen nationwide. There was an 11-percent spike in US microbreweries opening last year from 2010, bringing the total to nearly 2,000, with another 1,000 in planning, according to the Brewers Association, a national trade group. “We have literally doubled our market share in the last decade,” says David Katleski, president of the New York State Brewers Association, who’s among those rallying the troops to reach the microbrew sector’s goal of capturing 10 percent of national beer sales. “The craft beer industry in New York State is one of the only industries from a manufacturing standpoint that is growing and creating jobs,” says Katleski, who also owns Syracuse-based Empire Brewing Co. He predicts breweries statewide will more than double from about 125 today to over 300 within five years.

Applying to College By Spencer Rumsey

srumsey@longislandpress.com

“We have to broaden our definition of what a great college is,” says Dave Marcus, author of “Acceptance: A Legendary Guidance Counselor Helps Seven Kids Find the Right Colleges—and Find Themselves,” which chronicled how Oyster Bay High School’s Gwyeth Smith Jr., known as “Smitty,” coaxed a diverse group of seniors through the most stressful experience of their lives. After giving speeches from Southampton to Great Neck on this rite of passage, Marcus has found what he calls “a real sickness on Long Island,” which he says is “this belief that there’s only 45 colleges that are acceptable to parents!” Let the record show that “there’s more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States and some amazing ones in Canada and beyond,” insists Marcus, a former Newsday reporter and education writer for U.S. News & World Report. “Parents on Long Island get so obsessed with the process—the grades, the tests, the name-brand schools—that we forget that the college search is an incredible time of self-discovery for a kid,” he says. “It’s a time to dream about the future and figure out who you are and what you want to be.”

Having a Long Island return address on that college application is a mixed blessing, Marcus says, because an Ivy League school “doesn’t want a class that’s 80 percent” from Nassau and Suffolk even though these two counties have some of the best high schools in the nation producing top-notch students.

www.longislandpress.com

“Once you get away from the most obvious schools up and down the East Coast,” Marcus says, “there are a lot of colleges that really appreciate Long Islanders” and, he thinks, quite a few are willing to offer merit aid to offset the high cost of living here. In the book, Smitty advises students to pick 10 schools and factor in weather, distance, size and setting. For example, some may like it hot, others may want to let it snow. And parents shouldn’t be shy about giving their kids’ guidance counselors a “brag sheet” so they have more to work with than just what the student says in a rushed meeting between classes. First on Marcus and Smitty’s list of “seven secrets of college admissions” [on www.davemarcus.com] is this gem: Forget about the rankings of “best” colleges. The school that’s right for you is the best. Next, don’t call a choice your “safety college” because that diminishes it in your mind. Instead, categorize them as “reach,” “reliable” and “target.” In ninth and tenth grades, students should generalize; in 11th and 12th they should specialize. Don’t take the easy way out; take the “most rigorous high school classes you can handle” because admissions offices “want to see someone who embraces challenges.” Students who distinguish themselves in a few activities tend to stand out from those who spread themselves too thin. When touring colleges, “visit differences,” they say: contrast an urban campus with a quiet one, like comparing Boston University to Boston College. And last but not least, if a college application includes “optional” essays or materials, “consider them required. Do them!” “Kids on Long Island try to package themselves to become what they think the admissions office wants rather than just being themselves and showing themselves,” Marcus says. “It’s much more effective to talk about who you are and what you want to become, rather than who you think they want to see.” In other words, he tells students: Pursue your passion. “By Long Island standards, Huckleberry Finn was a loser,” he says, “but in a lot of ways he was exactly what you’d want a student to be: smart, curious and empathic.”

Sibling Revelry! Did you hear the one about the family with a CPA, nurse, hospital executive and pediatrician? It goes like this...they all attended Suffolk County Community College and lived happily ever after. While it may sound a bit like a fairy tale, it’s all real life for the Martinez siblings who have earned a right to revel in their accomplishments. By choosing to start their studies at Suffolk, they each saved tens of thousands of dollars and gained the kind of education that allowed them to transfer to nationally recognized colleges and universities and, ultimately, succeed in their chosen professions. Talk with our admissions counselors – or one of our 100,000 graduates – to find out why making Suffolk your first choice is a decision that’s second to none.

Financial Aid Majors By Spencer Rumsey

srumsey@longislandpress.com The high cost of college is not lost on recent Syosset High School graduate Josh Lafazan—who just won a seat on the Syosset school board to become one of the youngest elected public officials in New York. In fact, it’s one reason he’s attending Nassau Community College’s honors program this fall, with the goal, he hopes, that he’ll benefit from NCC’s “proven history of transferring students to top four-year educational institutions.” Some of Lafazan’s peers criticized his decision “because a lot of the people, especially from my area, are conditioned to think that going away to school is the only choice,” he says, but he’s comfortable with his pick because “this allows me to save the necessary funds for graduate school.” A full year at NCC costs about $4,000, compared to $59,000 at Columbia or Fordham, for example. Nationwide the price tag of higher education has risen twice the rate of inflation since the year 2000. In his State of the Union address, President Obama, who was paying off his own student loans until just a few years ago, “put colleges on notice” that they should stop this trend in tuition hikes or risk losing federal support. There’s almost a trillion dollars in outstanding student loans, according to Forbes magazine, and the burden is not expected to ease given the

Long Island Press for August 9 - August 15, 2012

recession. Instead of increasing student aid, Congress cut $8 billion from the Pell grant program last year, putting more pressure on low-income students to borrow more money if they want to stay in school. If anything, New York State has also gotten stingier with its university students, shrinking state funding for SUNY by $1.4 billion since 2008, and raising tuition $300 this June, with more annual increases to come. Currently, attending a SUNY school costs about $22,000. The U.S. Department of Education has two federal loan programs: The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program [Stafford loans] and the Federal Perkins Loan Program. The Direct Loan program is the simplest way for students to get a federal loan but their college has to participate in the program and not all institutions necessarily do. New York has a Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), through the auspices of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), the state’s financial aid agency which administers 18 student aid programs including TAP. As the state aid office says on its website, there are “no secret formulas” to determine how much aid a student may get, and the amount, based on the student’s financial need and expected family contribution, is the same “regardless of who completes the application.” The first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid—the FAFSA—and the form is available at www.fafsa.org. [The FAFSA doesn’t require students to report their families’ retirement accounts as an asset,

www.longislandpress.com

unlike the CSS/Financial AID Profile form that many private colleges rely on.] Contrary to common myths, scholarships aren’t the exclusive right of “A” students—all students with good grades should pursue them because many scholarship committees rate community involvement and extracurricular activities, as well as merit, academic interests, essays, auditions, and particular skills and talents. Nor should students believe that there are secret sources of student aid. As the state warns, “there is simply no need to spend several hundred dollars for free information you can find yourself.”

“there is simply no need to spend several hundred dollars for free information you can find yourself.” College is expensive, no matter how you price it, but it may be worth the sacrifice, considering that the unemployment rate for those with no high school diploma was 14 percent last year, about 10 percent for those with a high school diploma, less than 5 percent for students with a bachelor’s degree, and 3.6 percent for those with a master’s. “Do what works for you,” Lafazan advises Long Island students. “If that means going to Nassau Community college for two years and then transferring, if that means going to a local school and getting a job, do what works for you. Don’t worry what other people think!”

This Week: Best Examination Of Student Issues – First Place Halls Echo With Offensive Term For Women

By Maggie Colbert, Maroon Echo, Bay Shore High School

When Felicia Hagerman, a senior, raised her hand to go to the bathroom, she did not expect to return to class practically in tears. “I went into the stall,” said Hagerman, “and I read: ‘Felicia Hagerman is a poser scene slut,’ written on the wall.” Amanda Verni, a senior, always had many male friends and thought nothing of it.

“This group of girls messaged me on Facebook saying that I was a ‘slut’ and a ‘whore’ because I had a lot of guy friends,” said Verni. Astralie Darang, a senior, was on her way to fifth period and never expected to be called out by another girl in the hall. “I was walking in the hallway, and she called me a ‘slut,’” said Darang. “At first, I thought it was because I was wearing a skirt, but later I found out it was because I was talking to some guy she might have liked.” According to the Urban Dictionary, a “slut” is “a woman with the morals of a man,” but Merriam-Webster defines it

as “a promiscuous woman, especially; a saucy girl.” Dating back to the 1400s, the word “sluttish” was used in reference to a dirty man; however, this term was also used for “untidy or slovenly women,” according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. This definition developed into one with a sexual connotation in the 16th and 17th centuries having the meaning of a “bold hussy.” “Unfortunately, this word is used all too often and becomes a weapon when anyone wants to make a girl feel insecure or upset,” said Dr. Katie Kelly, a social worker. “I have worked with many girls who feel that their entire reputation and the way everyone perceives them has been changed by the simple mention of this

word.” In high school, however, the word seems to be thrown around for use as a derogatory term whether it’s between friends or uttered as words of hate behind someone’s back. As an attempt to reclaim the word, SlutWalk is a foundation that aims to gain sexual rights for women, in light of negative, anti-feminist media. “There’s so much pressure to try and be what you see. Everyone is afraid to be themselves,” said Courtney Keyes, class of 2007. “Some of us are scientist/art nerds, some of us are lacrosse players with the bows in our hair…SlutWalk is about that realization, that freedom of expression. It’s about girls knowing that their body belongs to them and no one else.“

Saturday Cont. storm/Horrendous/ Demontage/Mortals @ St. Vitus Trigger Hippy @ Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center Kasey Chambers & Jill Andrews @ City Winery Zebra @ The Paramount Thirty-plus years into it, Zebra has continued playing and serving a rabid regional fanbase. Despite the fact that the band’s 1983 self-titled outing was the fastest selling debut in Atlantic Records history, the trio of Randy Jackson (no, not the guy from American Idol), Felix Hanemann and Guy

Gelso never managed to have its blend of Zeppelin-flavored might and Beatlesque sense of harmony translate to national commercial success. Overlooked or not, going to see Zebra in concert has nevertheless become a Long Island rite of passage thanks to the musical talents of this trio, one of the most potent live acts to be associated with this region.

Mickey Hart’s Journey from Pygmies to the Cosmos By Dave Gil de Rubio To the casual music fan, Mickey Hart is one half of the Grateful Dead drumming tandem that’s rounded out by musical partner Bill Kreutzmann. To those in the know, Hart is a dedicated musicologist who has written books on the subject and once served for a dozen years as a trustee on the board of trustees for the American Folklife Center. Simply put, he’s one complex cat. A second-to-none multi-tasker, Hart has produced a steady stream of ambitious solo projects that include music inspired by the heartbeat of his son in utero (Music To Be Born By), a throw-down with an international array of percussionists (Global Drum Project) and what’s been described as the soundtrack for a planet (Dafos). Now comes Mysterium Tremendum, a collection of songs written around sounds from captured light, radio waves and other electromagnetic radiation emitted by celestial bodies and converted into sound waves. It’s a concept called sonification that he’s come to find enthralling. “I started to collect them by using radio telescopes from around the world,” Hart tells the Press from his studio in California. “I took those light waves and had my associate scientists change them into our limited spectrum of hearing. Now I have it in the audible noise that could be from a pulsar, supernova or galaxy—any epic event in the universe— and I sound design it. I make it into what I, you, or people on the whole Earth, would consider music.” “I gave [it] to Robert Hunter with the theme ‘Man of the Universe,’” he continues. “Then I had songs and I went out and found musicians… Next thing you know, we made a record.” The respected percussionist’s love of unorthodox sounds and rhythms goes news

f e at u r e s

as far back as when he was keeping time for the band previously known as The Warlocks. “When Jerry [Garcia] and I would come to New York with the Grateful Dead, we’d grab a couple of hot dogs and soda pop and just sit for hours watching jackhammers and things being destroyed with big steel wrecking balls,” he adds. “That was the edge. That was noise.” Hart’s unquenchable thirst for global music is what he’s more known for nowadays. This obsession got its start when, as a 4- or 5-year-old, his mother was given a batch of Duke Ellington and Count Basie 78s. Among these discs were Folkways and Unesco recordings of pygmy tribes and other indigenous people’s music. “That’s all I was listening to when I was a kid—pygmies of the rain forest,” he says. “That music allowed the walls to fade away so I wasn’t in a tiny little basement anymore. I was out there in the forest with the pygmies. And that’s what music does—it creates a virtual world.” In retrospect Hart recalls growing up in Lawrence as a place of “a bunch of newly rich people coming out there,” gangland rivalries with Far Rockaway, pumping gas and working as a pin-setter at Falcaro’s Bowling Alley, but his fondest memories are of Arthur Jones, his music director at Lawrence High School. “He understood what was at the heart of music and he let me stay in that band room and cut my classes,” says Hart. “If he didn’t allow me those four years to slack off on my studies, that guy from Long Island wouldn’t be working one-on-one with the Library of Congress trying to preserve the greatest music repository in the world.” Mickey Hart will be appearing at The Paramount in Huntington on Thursday, 8.16.

GOOD ADVICE FROM THE GOOD HANDS ®

Q: After years of hanging out on friends’ boats, I finally bought my own. I’ve asked around, and only a handful of my friends have boat insurance. Do I really need it?

A: Boat insurance isn’t required by law in every state. But if you don’t have it, be sure to set aside some extra money. Because if you have an accident, you could be on the hook for all of the damage. Allstate Boatowners Insurance not only covers damage to your boat (even while towing it), but also theft, damage to someone else’s boat and injury to a passenger. Best of all, it costs about a dollar a day. You should also know that Allstate has quite a few additional discounts: New Boat Discount: Save up to 30% if your boat is less than 5 years old. The newer the boat, the bigger the discount. Multi-Policy Discount: Save up to 10% on boat insurance if you insure both your car and your boat with Allstate. Automatic Fire Extinguisher Discount: Save up to 5% if your boat has one of these systems. Diesel Engine Discount: If your boat runs on a diesel engine, you can save up to 5%.

N Massapequa is in Good Hands® ...mine. Call me today.

Robert Zabbia (516) 799-6900 847 Broadway Suite 101 N Massapequa robertzabbia@allstate.com

The Cupped Hands logo is a registered service mark of Allstate Insurance Company. Insurance and discounts subject to terms, availability and qualifications. Discount amounts may be lower. About a "dollar a day" is based on 2007 countrywide average gross premium for boatowners insurance. Your actual premium will vary based on state and value of boat insurance coverage.
