Wind turbine is leading edge of BOCES program

BY ELI RUIZ LIBERTY — The Pre-Tech Career Exploration Program is just one of many offered through Sullivan County BOCES and its Career and Technical Education Center and aims to prepare students for both college and a new career.

This past spring, BOCES Pre-Tech students and faculty unveiled BOCES’ very first wind turbine at the Rubin Pollack Education Center on Ferndale-Loomis Road.

“This is our prize... like our flag on Mt. Suribachi saying ‘We’re here, we’re technical, we’re gonna give your students the best education they can possibly get,’ ” said Sullivan BOCES instructor Patrick Killian of the turbine project.

And according to Killian, the very tower that holds the turbine carries quite a bit of historical significance, as his parents, Leon and Jeanne Killian, first installed the tower on Revonah Hill in Liberty back in 1962

where it handled “thousands of calls for public safety,” according to Killian.

“When it was built it was 155 feet [high] and it handled all emergency services antennas in the county,” Continued on page 5S

Students are planning to use the wind turbine to generate energy to construct the Tiny House, which will be used to educate other Sullivan County students on renewable energy technologies.

The BOCES Pre-Tech Program is a 9th & 10th grade credit bearing, career exploration program wherein students gain a solid foundation of basic skills in multiple vocational areas while also managing a student-run business. The program mirrors the changes in the world and requires the student to take a different approach in responding to today’s problems, through the use of innovation, technology, and good old-fashioned “American Ingenuity.” This is accomplished without requiring the extensive use of “high-tech,” expensive equipment, only the use of innovation.

The STEM component offers a vast array of renewable energy practices, as well as alternative food production projects. Each project requires the student to engage in active problemsolving using higher-order thinking skills. Furthermore, the program challenges the student to build knowledge in viable energy and food production alternatives.

The Wind Turbine Project, part of BOCES STEM initiative, was created for the 9th and 10th grade Pre-Tech Program.

During the hour-long unveiling ceremony students talked about current projects, which include a bio-gas generator, wood gas generators, hydroponics systems, a Mobile

George Cooke, Commissioner of Jurors, Representatives from the Head Start program, EPIC (Every Person Influences Children), parents and community members also participated in the discussion, which explored how school districts, community organizations and parents can work together to help close the achievement gap among students.

“The achievement gap is a collective problem; if we don’t work in the same direction, we aren’t giving our kids the chance to participate in the 21st century workforce,” said Finn.

Chancellor Tisch provided her thoughts on how New York State’s students are faring on a national level.

“When we look at our students’ test scores, we need to compare them to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) – the gold standard. New York State joined the

Common Core testing in the first place because of what the NAEP showed us,” said Tisch. “The old tests were not indicative of the actual success of our children.”

Principal Johnson-Fields offered her ideas for a Parent University, a collaboration of the school district, community, Head Start, EPIC, family members, and more.

This meeting was the first in an effort to identify ways of bringing parties together to increase parent engagement in the schools. Additional meetings and discussions will be held in the future.

ELDRED — When the Eldred Board of Education revealed its Five Year Capital Facilities Plan that’s going to cost the District $5,237,295, some members of the community – and the Board of Education – raised questions.

Of that figure, $2,431,370 would be spent at George Ross Mackenzie ES and $2,805,925 at the Junior/Senior High School.

The figure includes upgrades and improvements for athletic facilities, which District Superintendent Robert Dufour addressed: “There are certain things that must be done for safety and security purposes. For example, for

Kelly Edwards, Nurse Practitioner

the past 18 months, and you can extend that as far back as the last four years, there has been a consistent question asked about our athletic facilities here, what was going to be done about that and why wasn’t it done in the last project. I don’t know why it wasn’t done in the last project, that pre-dates me and that pre-dates my predecessor.”

Athletic coaches and members of the community have been concerned about the safety of the fields, which seem to disintegrate and settle down.

Speakers blamed the upgrades done some 20 years ago, noting that drainage was not taken into account correctly.

Brian Siegel of Barryville (with hands raised) brought up questions about the large capital expenditure plan, warning “at some point you're going to have to ask for more.”

AUGUST, 2014

Dufour concurred, “What was built in 1995 took no notice of drainage. It’s got to be ripped up, and it’s got to be done correctly.”

He continued, “Right now we have two soccer fields for use. We’re looking to turn these into multi-purpose softball and soccer fields.” This would be achieved by movable fencing, he explained.

In response to the community’s concerns, he said, “I asked... to look into these things, and what the cost would be. There will be a vote.”

Brian Siegel, a Barryville resident with kids in the school system asked, “Is there flexibility? Can you be for one section, and against another?”

Dufour replied, “We need to prioritize, that’s why we’re here. We’re looking for input.” Siegel then inquired about the time frame, and was told the board is hoping to finalize its plans in the next meeting or two, and put it to public referendum soon after that.

Dufour explained the process, “There will be a public meeting to discuss what’s happening. Then the board will decide what they put up for referendum, and once they decide, we have to provide 30 days notice required by law.”

Looking at the thick Five Year Plan handout, Siegel continued, “There’s a lot of information here, and I’ll have to look at it. The first thought from someone from the public, and I have three kids in the school here… it’s a wonderful school, my kids have been here for 13 years. However, my first thought is it’s a lot of money, and you need to be very conservative what you ask taxpayers for. At some point, you’re going to have to ask for more, and it’s going to come [at the expense of] educational programs, staffing, things like that that are very important as well – so we need to be very careful what we ask for.”

Board member Carol Bliefernich inquired, “These numbers that you have, are they medium, high, or low numbers? Where did you get these numbers?”

“They are designed to be in the middle,” plan presenter Joe Tola from Savin Engineers of Pleasantville explained.

Debbie Jennings asked about the expenditure for generators in the plan, noting the figure of $700,000.

Dufour replied, “If there’s an evacuation in case of major disaster, we want to get the price of what it would cost to have the generators in place.”

Jennings insisted it was a lot of

money, and Tola concurred, “We could downsize on the generators.”

Paul Whitfield, who came to the meeting with his daughter, asked about the softball field design because she plays varsity softball, and was told removable fence would make the field confirm.

Dufour summarized the plans: “It’s up to the board. We’re discussing the work that needs to be done, the financing that needs to be done, and coordination of what needs to be done. If they decide to put it to vote, then that’s going to be done.”

Chopping costs on school supplies

B

ack-to-school spending can take its toll on the family budget, with parents paying considerable cash for clothes, backpacks and other must-haves. The National Retail Foundation expects consumers to spend about $74.9 billion this year to send their children and college students back to school, up 12 percent since 2013.

“Back-to-school spending is second only to the holidays, and the outlay is higher and higher each year,” said Mike Sullivan, director of education for Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “Retailers push hard in the summer months, and

Nonprofit credit counseling agency offers eight tips for saving money without skimping on essentials. school budget cuts have shifted the cost of supplies to families, but savvy parents can save money without skimping on necessities.”

Sullivan offers eight tips for cutting costs on back-toschool shopping: Take stock: Supply lists often call for scissors, rulers, pencils and other items people already have at home.

Parents can save money by taking stock of what they have before buying new supplies.

Stick to the list: Teachers’ supply lists have become more exten-

sive – and expensive – so parents are wise to stick to the list and avoid impulse purchases.

Comparison shop: Dollar stores, big-box retailers and office supply stores offer deep discounts on many school essentials. Parents can save money by seeking out the best prices and stocking up on items children use throughout the year.

Clip coupons: Many websites publish coupons on back-to-school clothing and supplies. Parents also can find their children’s favorite brands on Facebook and Twitter for special coupons available only to followers.

Wait to buy: Just like holiday shopping, retailers often discount prices after the rush. Parents can purchase some items after Labor Day to reap savings.

Shop or swap second-hand: Cloth-

ing swaps are a popular choice to exchange gently used clothing. Additionally, secondhand retail shops, Craigslist and eBay are good options for finding trendy and brand-name gear at a fraction of the cost.

Shop tax-free: Many states offer taxfree shopping days during back-to-school seasons. Find out if your state is participating, and buy your big-ticket items then.

Include kids in the process: Many parents give their kids a budget for clothing and necessities. Kids who have to choose between blowing the budget on pricey items or stretching their dollars with sensible purchases will learn a powerful lesson about the value of money.

As you head back to school, check with your guidance office to learn more. Pictured, Honesdale High School graduate Melissa Cantasano received the Kristina Sue Adams Memorial Scholarship at this past June’s commencement. Melissa poses with Honesdale HS Principal Diane Scarfalloto. Kristina Adams was a Honesdale HS alumna, an office manager at the Narrowsburg Peck’s who died tragically last summer. She had family and friends on both sides of the river and in her memory, mom Cindy Adams of Callicoon started Kristina Cares to aid area organizations. This is in keeping with Kristina’s volunteer spirit.

Off to college. Is your student protected?

GLENMONT – As college students and their families prepare for the beginning of the school year, insurance considerations should be at the top of their college checklist, says the Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. (PIANY). The trade association that represents agents across the state reminds students and their parents to contact their insurance agent to verify the specifics of their policies and educate themselves about any coverage limitations. You may need to purchase additional coverage for your child's possessions, depending on where your child will live at college.

“Check your homeowners policy to see if the items your child is taking to college are covered in case they are damaged or stolen,” says Alan Plafker, CPIA, president of PIANY. “Prepare and maintain a list of possessions such as computers, televisions, stereos, cameras and jewelry, including the original cost and their purchase date.”

Students living on campus may be

protected by their parents' homeowners policy, as long as the student maintains residency in the parents' household. Some insurers expressly define what “residency” means in their policy, but many insurers leave room for interpretation. Before a claim occurs, be sure to find out what criteria your insurer uses to determine whether your student child is still a resident of your household.

College students renting an offcampus apartment or house while away at school should consider purchasing a renters policy. In order to get the best protection, choosing a scheduled coverage option often makes sense for high-value possessions, such as computers, musical instruments and jewelry.

Auto insurance is another consideration for college-bound kids. If your child is attending school more than 100 miles from home without custody of a household vehicle, you may be eligible for a reduction in your auto insurance premiums.
