Budget Vote, Board Election & Absentee Ballots

Presenting a Sound School Budget for Hinsdale StudentsBy John Fitzpatrick, Board of Education President

On Tuesday, May 15, you will have the opportunity to vote on the 2012-2013 school budget. Our budgeting goals continue to include the ability to keep Hinsdale Central School on firm financial ground through the wise use of resources, maintaining programs which provide our children the educational opportunities to thrive, and keeping HCS a vital part of our community.

You will be voting on both the budget and one open seat on the Board of Education. Although there have been increases in costs such as health insurance, salaries, retirement benefits, fuel and operations, etc., we have spent the past four months reviewing the budget in detail to economize in other spend-ing areas and minimize tax increases. Along with that, we have managed to maintain economy within the property tax cap limit.

Our transportation expenses have increased this year due to shared bussing services for Olean City Schools. However, all of these expenses are completely offset with matching revenue from the Olean dis-trict. We are always looking for additional avenues of sharing with local area schools to both increase efficiencies and maximize academic programs for our students.

During these budgeting months, we have been dealing with a $430,000 decrease in aid from New York State, including the sun setting on the Federal Jobs Act, which has provided assistance with personnel expenses. We have down-sized where we can, always with the idea that the decreases are kept as far away from the classrooms as possible. It is becoming increasingly dif-ficult to accomplish that with these current funding challenges, but I believe this budget keeps that goal in mind.

With the current state aid figures, we are planning to use approximately $850,000 in fund balance and another $85,000 in reserve funds to cover part of the projected state aid shortfall. We are putting the cost of one bus into the budget rather than finance it over time. HCS is fortunate that conservative budgeting in past years provides us with the opportunity and affordability to use those funds.

Out of the past four years, taxpayers have seen no increase in the tax levy for three years and an increase in the tax levy of 2.41% just this past year. We are now able to project another zero increase in the tax levy for the 2012-13 school year.

Our budget hearing is Tuesday, May 8, in the upper gym at 7:00 p.m. We will

review the budget and answer any questions you may have. Voting will be held on May 15, 2012 between 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in the lower gymnasium entrance lobby. In these hard-hitting economic times, it is especially important to thank you for your consistent support of our Hinsdale Central School students.

Joe Grimaldi, owner operator of JDs Smoking Grill and Bar recently spoke to a group of our students as part of our speaker series. Mr. Grimaldi has been involved with the food industry for many years and he shared some secrets of his sustained success with our students. Joe also told the audience what potential employers are looking for when they hire new staff. Throughout the presentation, Mr. Grimaldi emphasized the importance of commitment and earning your education. Thank you, Mr. Grimaldi, for sharing with our students!

Officer Boon VisitsToday in Health class, we had the plea-

sure of welcoming Officer Jason Boon from the Olean Police Department to educate the students about the dangers of drinking and driving. Officer Boon was kind enough to share his first hand experience as a police officer with the class, and to shed some light on exactly what occurs during and after a DWI traffic stop.

Officer Boon talked with the class about what the police officers are looking for in a motorist’s behavior prior to stopping the vehicle, questions that follow once the mo-torist has been pulled over, the field sobriety tests that occur, and finally, what happens to the motorist once they have been arrested.

Officer Boon shared in detail some personal experiences he has had arresting someone for a DWI. He also explained that the experience is not only felt by the indi-

vidual, but also reaches far into the lives of the family members as well. Officer Boon assured the class that this is a life-altering experience that people surely live to regret.

The students gained some firsthand, real-life perspective today in health class regarding an unfortunate situation that oc-curs far too often. Officer Boon made an important impact on the lives of our youth by sharing his message as a police officer, and hopefully this message helps make our society a much safer place.

Kindergarten Corner: Helping Your Child Become a Successful ReaderBy Tricia DeCapua & Sheila Callen

Helping your child become a successful reader can start at home even before your child begins pre-school. One way to help your child is to develop phonemic awareness skills. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, move, or change sounds (phonemes) in spoken words (orally). Pho-nemic awareness is the precursor to phonics instruction (working with letters and sounds in written words). Phonemic awareness is an important skill that helps children to get ready to develop as readers.

Research shows that children who develop phonemic awareness skills and letter-sound relationships early on develop into strong successful readers. There are many things parents can do at home to help develop phonemic awareness skills in their child at a very early age. You can actively participate in the development of your child’s phonemic awareness by turn-ing everyday occurrences into teachable moments. Here are some activities that can be done for fun almost anywhere!

READ, READ, READ to your child daily! This is one of the best ways to de-velop phonemic awareness and instill a love for reading at a young age. When your child can connect learning to read to a positive experience, they will be more motivated to learn. Be sure to include poetry as well as stories. Poetry is a powerful tool in develop-ing phonemic awareness.

Immerse your child in a language-rich environment. You can make labels for com-mon items around your house and have your child play a matching game by finding the items that match word cards that you give them. For example, give your child a card that says “table,” read the word card to your child and have them repeat it, and then have your child go put the card on the table and repeat the word. You can also label items around your house so that your child sees the correlation between words and the objects they represent.

Rhyming games are also a fun way to develop phonemic awareness. Rhyming

games can be played anywhere -- in the bathtub, in the car, etc.! Say two words and have your child give you thumbs up if they rhyme or thumbs down if they don’t. You can also say a word and have your child tell a word that rhymes -- it can be real or silly! Dr. Seuss books are excellent to read with your child to practice rhyming skills. Have your child finish the second line with a rhyming word as you read!

Counting the number of syllables in words is also a good way to develop pho-

nemic awareness. Syllables are how many parts, or beats, a word can be broken up into. For example, Walmart (two syllables), Wal-Mart. You can play this game using familiar names of people, places, or items around the house. You can even play a game and see who can find the word with the most syllables!

Another fun game to develop phonemic awareness is saying a word and having your

“Let’s Go, Bona!”HCS students and staff “gathered at the fence” to give the St. Bonaventure University men’s basketball team a fine send-off before their game in the NCAA Tournament.

Top Ten Jobs for the Next Decade and BeyondUsing data compiled from the United

States Bureau of Labor Statistics and from major newspapers and magazines, we’ve got the information you need on the major careers and trends in the job market today.

Computer Programmer

Even though many American compa-nies actively recruit overseas workers for programming jobs, there is still plenty of work for qualified computer specialists right here in the United States. Security breaches and concerns about potential terrorism have heightened security at many companies. Because “offshoring” computer program-ming work poses so many security risks, many large employers have reverted to using in-house teams of programmers who can be monitored more carefully. A degree in computer forensics would allow you to become one of the monitors.

In addition, the development of new operating systems and common code bases has allowed many more industries to de-velop custom software solutions. A decade ago, many companies from wildly different fields might have used the same spreadsheet program. Today, developers with unique backgrounds build specialized applications like databases, point-of-sale systems, and customer relationship networks.

Day Care Provider

Until recently, many day care provid-ers struggled with low wages, high stress, and poor job security. With the explosive demand for quality child care, however, many parents are now willing to pay higher premiums to facilities with excellent reputa-tions and strong learning programs. A pro-fessional in this industry can command an

even higher salary with an early childhood special education degree.

Though some parents lament the re-duced emphasis on play activities in many modern day care settings, the consumer demand creates many lucrative opportunities for child development majors who want to follow their passion while earning signifi-cant rewards.

Elder Care Specialist

The parents of Baby Boomers relied on large families to share the burden of caring for elderly loved ones. With fewer children to care for them, the Baby Boomers are turning, in record numbers, to profession-ally operated assisted living facilities. A far cry from yesterday’s nursing homes, today’s senior communities often integrate luxury amenities like four-star dining, golf, and live entertainment.

Despite the luxury resort setting, each facility relies on teams of qualified health-care specialists to look after the needs of residents. With government and consumer scrutiny of elder care facilities at an all-time high, employers demand job candidates with proven skills and positive attitudes. Consider a degree in health information technology for a fast-growing job with a minimal amount of clinical work.

Employment Specialist

Caught between the demands of child care and elder care, more Americans have turned to employment agencies to arrange short term or flexible employment relation-ships. Likewise, companies that need to scale up or scale down their operations to comply with seasonal customer demand have outsourced their staffing needs to a growing number of professional agencies.

The U.S. Department of Labor identi-fies “employment placement specialist” as one of the fastest-growing specialties of the coming decade. For people with strong interpersonal skills and a wide range of in-terests, this position offers the opportunity to connect eager employers with qualified workers. Not only does this career offer significant job satisfaction, it usually pays a commission on the income of placed work-

ers. Therefore, a busy employment specialist can earn a significant income by using her natural matchmaking talents.

Environmental Engineer

With the rapid growth of previously small communities all across the country, many local governments and private devel-opers must wrestle with the challenges of rising populations. At the same time, many of our country’s more established cities and towns must cope with crumbling infrastruc-ture, such as outdated water and sewer lines or failing electrical supplies.

Environmental engineers play an important role in every community. They oversee new construction and renovation, assuring the preservation of natural resourc-es and the safety of residents. With new, more stringent regulations on the books, many environmental engineers now work for developers and corporations that want to take a proactive approach to their busi-ness. By acting in the public interest, these companies can build strong relationships with customers while avoiding damaging fines or even prosecution.

Home Health Aide

Many aging Baby Boomers intend to live in their own homes for as long as pos-sible. Likewise, many people who suffer from injuries or illness can avoid the huge expenses of a long hospital stay by recuper-ating at home. Both of these populations rely heavily on the work of home health aides to maintain their well being.

In many cases, home health aides are nurses who prefer to work in patients’ homes instead of in the stressful environment of a hospital or an assisted living facility. Frequently, home health aides benefit from flexible scheduling and short commutes, making this a solid career choice for parents of young children. Some aides can assist licensed professionals without holding a license themselves, offering excellent oppor-tunities to earn income while still completing their degree program.

Continued on Page 8


Management Consultant

A growing number of companies pre-fer to seek outside help with specialized problems or challenges, rather than attempt to keep experts on staff. As a result, con-sultants who build reputations for solving client problems can earn significant income by dropping in on clients around the world.

Once dominated by road warriors, the consulting arena has opened up to a variety of professionals, thanks to new networking technology. With qualifications and insight earned from years of experience and study, a consultant might work from home while helping clients all over the world.

Many professionals who have grown bored with their companies or with their ca-reers can shake things up by setting up shop as a consultant. In fact, many consultants launch their practices while still holding down a day job or completing an advanced degree program.

Networking Specialist

Unlike a traditional computer program-mer, who focuses on solving problems with software, a networking specialist must figure out how to keep all of the various devices in an organization connected to each other. As networking grew from an offshoot of computer engineering into its own spe-cialty, many professionals learned how to efficiently manage a company’s information flow through hidden cables and routers.

Technology continues to advance, so new and different jobs are constantly emerging. Today’s networking specialist must integrate wireless devices like phones, laptops, and pagers into their data structures. Whether working for a private employer, an Internet service provider, or a government agency, networking specialists must work on-site to install and maintain highly spe-cialized equipment. With new generations of networking hardware emerging every few years, this is a professional role that can never be delegated to overseas workers.

Physician’s Assistant

As more Americans seek medical treat-ment more frequently, many doctor’s offices

struggle to keep up with demand. High malpractice insurance rates and the pursuit of less stressful, more lucrative careers are diverting potential doctors into other fields. Therefore, many medical practices rely more frequently on physician’s assistants to bridge an important gap in the health care process.

Students who enjoy medicine but do not wish to pursue a full medical degree can launch careers as physician’s assistants after only a few years of training. They perform tests, file reports and handle other routine tasks, freeing up doctors to spend more time diagnosing illnesses and researching cures. In some states, physician’s assistants can even prescribe medication. An online physi-cian assistant master’s program can qualify you for one of these upper-level roles.

Social Services Coordinator

With more senior citizens applying for government benefits and many families leaving large cities for smaller towns, many government agencies and non-profit organi-zations seek qualified social services coordi-nators. These specialists assure that residents of a community can take full advantage of assistance programs. They also monitor the safety and wellness of individuals, espe-cially young children and older adults that could become the victims of abuse, crime, or fraud. An online social work degree can qualify you for this rewarding career.

Top 10 Jobs -- From Page 7

child leave off the beginning sound (bus - “us”; turtle - “urtle”). You can also have your child put a new sound at the beginning of the word (change “turtle” to “surtle”). It’s always fun to make silly words by doing this, and you can even change the middle or ending sound instead!

I hope that you will find the activities above enjoyable and helpful in working with your child at home. Helping your child develop phonemic awareness will give your child the best start possible in school. Find-ing fun ways to do this will make learning a fun experience and give you and your child memories that will last a lifetime!

Learning About Dental CareStudents in grades PreK-7 were treated

to a dental and mouth care presentation by Bev Bennett from the County Health Depart-ment. Ms. Bennett talked with the students about ways to keep their mouth and teeth healthy. Diet, tobacco use and tooth brush-ing were presented in an age level discus-sion. Demonstrations of good oral care and hands on examples of healthy and diseased teeth were also part of the day.

Each student was presented with a take home bag with toothbrushes and information thanks to the generous donations of our area Wal-mart, Dr. Bill Veazey, Patterson Dental and Patrick Morris.

Pennies for PatientsStudent Council asked students to bring

in “Pennies for Patients” -- a Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund-raiser -- during the month of March. A total of $362.65 in change (with a few bills tossed in) was col-lected. Grade 3 will be having an ice cream party to celebrate collecting the most change at the elementary level, contributing $61.35 to the effort. Grade 10 will also be celebrat-ing with a party after compiling $40.32 for the cause. Fifth grade classes collected the most coins, $130.42. The Student Council matched the contribution of the students and a check was sent in the amount of $725.30. Thank you to all who helped make “Pennies for Patients” a success this year.


The Student Council sponsored the all-night BOBCAT BLAST on Friday, March 30. The event started at 9 p.m. with volleyball, basketball, and hockey in the gyms and with video/board games in the hallway. Pizza was also served to the 73 students before they boarded buses to go to Byllye Lanes in Bradford for midnight bowling. Students were also treated to an egg hunt when they arrived back at school. The students stayed until 7 a.m. filling the time with mat ball, hockey, dodge ball, movies, checkers and chess. Students said it was amazing, awesome and lots of fun!
