MARCH ON!

Irish stew is perfect for this time of year

BY CHRIS XAVER

What’s your go-to March food? Is it green eggs and ham? Corned beef and cabbage? Lucky Charms? After all, that little leprechaun tells us they’re “magically delicious”!

And then there’s March Madness. With so many basketball games on television, there are lots of chances to have friends or neighbors over and distract ourselves from our wintry weather.

What’s your favorite TV nosh? Mine used to be horrible: chips, dips, chicken wings, pizza. These days, my family and I still have those foods, but I “fake” them out. For example, pizza without a crust, or chicken wings made from chicken tenders that I bake in the oven without breading.

My grown-up dips include hummus, and my “chips” are now cucumber slices and baked wontons. At our house, it’s all about reducing sugars. I have kids in my life, too; I’m not telling you to try something they won’t like. They’ll love it if they can help make the snacks. I’ve learned that’s key. Ask them to help you in the kitchen and they’ll try more foods.

So, since we’re in the midst of March, I thought we should enjoy some traditional fare. Although everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy my Irish stew.

While the traditional dish often calls for lamb, many Americans aren’t that familiar with it. Lamb is lean, and grass-fed lamb is often exceptionally lean. As a general rule, three ounces of lamb has just 175 calories and less than 10 grams of fat. And lean lamb often

comes in at just eight grams of total fat, three of which are saturated fats. If you’re planning to make this recipe and want the leanest lamb, use loin or shank pieces.

Beef can also be lean, too. For stew, I would recommend chuck, which is considered a lean cut but has enough marbling in it to keep your stew meat from becoming tough. The great thing about making this stew in the slow cooker is that it’s a much more moist way of cooking than in the oven. As long as you don’t lift the lid, all the moisture remains in the pot and keeps this dish melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Instead of potatoes, I use turnips in this dish to lower the sugar content. No one in your family will know they are eating turnips if you don’t tell them because the stew’s “gravy” flavors the vegetables. Why turnips? In 3.5 ounces, turnips have six grams of carbohydrates compared with potatoes’ 17 grams. And turnips are lower in calories: 28 calories in that serving vs. potatoes’ 77. Starting to fall for the humble turnip, aren’t you?

And to keep the stew from becoming “sweet,” I encourage you to use plain old yellow onions instead of the sweeter Vidalia variety. In this long-cooking stew, the yellow onion just holds up better and imparts that savory flavor this dish demands.

This wonderful winter stew should not be relegated to just a traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal! It deserves a repeat performance on any cold day, and using turnips instead of potatoes lowers the carbs and sugars while retaining the flavor and texture.

IRISH STEW

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 pounds lean meat (lamb or beef), cut into chunks

• Scant amount of flour for dredging

• 2 pounds turnips, peeled and cut into chunks

• 2 onions, finely diced (see accompanying note)

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 bay leaf

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 quart low-sodium beef broth

DIRECTIONS:

Pat meat dry and dredge in flour. Brown in nonstick pan. (Don’t crowd the meat pieces, or they will steam.)

Layer turnips, onions, seasonings, and garlic on the bottom of a slow cooker. Top with the browned meat. Pour half of the broth over it. (Add more broth later if a thinner stew is desired.) Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 3 to 5 hours. When meat is tender, stew is done.

Slow cookers are amazing devices, but only if you resist the temptation to “peek” by lifting the lid. You lose 20 minutes to a half-hour for each time you lift the lid. If there’s condensation and you can’t see, shake it back in forth in its track to help the condensation fall off.

Note: If your little ones really hate onions, then grate them instead of dicing. Just run the onions back and forth on a box grater. They’ll practically liquefy but will still give you that great onion flavor.

Luke Ribaudo, Science Teacher at Christian Brothers Academy

By Janelle Davis

1. Can you share a little about your educational background and where you are currently teaching?

I grew up in the small town of Watkins Glen on the south end of Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. I always had a passion for being outdoors, growing up in the country fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, and camping. I learned fairly young that I really liked teaching earth science. I went to a community college in Corning and then transferred to Cornell University for my undergraduate degree in the Science of Earth Systems program, with a primary focus on geology. I minored in education and then completed another year at Cornell to receive my master’s degree in teaching.

I started teaching at Christian Brothers Academy in 2010. It has been my only job in education. I started with seventh grade physical science and then moved into earth science for ninth grade, which was my primary ambition in teaching. I’ve since developed an elective for juniors and seniors to further their interest in the fields of astronomy and meteorology. I’ve always felt that CBA was where God wanted me to be, I’ve felt the calling since day one, and I really can’t see myself teaching in any other

environment. It is a place that beautifully balances a quality education with an intention of making young men and women moral and responsible members of society. It’s a philosophy of which I’m proud to be a part.

2. How do you get your students excited about science?

I’ve always found that science is not exciting unless it’s hands-on. The beautiful thing about earth science is the fact that it is not abstract; it’s all around you! With that in mind, I’ve always tried to find ways to make the lessons real through hands-on labs and exploration. I built a stream table for the classroom to demonstrate stream evolution and change. I’ve brought kids on hikes on the school property to calculate the gradient of the topography of the area, while demonstrating the various skills of orienteering. I’ve hosted star watch parties on campus in the evenings to locate planets and constellations and look through telescopes.

I’ve also found that you can build rapport with your students by being real with them. Meet them at their level, and stay in tune with their likes, sayings, achievements, and successes. Having an approachable attitude is important in all areas of education. It

helps make science more enjoyable when the teacher is more enjoyable!

3. Last year you were named the District of Eastern North America Lasallian Educator of the Year. Congratulations! What did that honor mean to you?

The Lasallian Educator of the Year award was a true honor as you indicated. I was a bit stunned and disbelieving when I was first told about it. I’ve always felt that I’ve tried to just be the best teacher I can be, and I don’t feel like I’m doing anything necessarily special to be given this level of recognition. I give credit to the support I have around me, especially my wife, who has always been by my side while raising our three kids. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to be able to touch hearts and minds, and hopefully I’ve made an impact on them to better themselves in some way.

Treat Yourself

The Warrior Factory Syracuse offers training for adults, children

Are you looking to try something new?

The Warrior Factory Syracuse offers ninja warrior training for children and adults alike.

Located in Camillus, the business first opened in December 2019 (there are also locations in Rochester and Buffalo). Guests can try obstacles from American Ninja Warrior, including a spider climb, rings, and warped walls, during an open play session or sign up for a ninja warrior class. “It’s a really fun and unique way to get some exercise, while doing something outside of the box,” said Owner Kathryn Bolster.

And no experience is necessary to participate. “You don’t have to be a rock climber or a gymnast,” said Bolster. “You can just come in and try this and we will always have a place for you to start.”

BY COURTNEY KLESS

But there are a few things you should keep in mind before you visit. For starters, make sure to bring a pair of sneakers.

“Other than that, just be ready to have fun and be adventurous,” said Bolster. “The movement through the obstacles, that’s not something we do every day, especially as adults. We don’t go on playgrounds anymore. But if you’re not willing to find the kid inside, and you’re scared to try everything or you’re embarrassed that you might fall, you’re not going to have as good of a time. So, you just need to be willing to put that aside and have fun.

Where: 170 Township Blvd, Suite 20, Camillus.

What better day to celebrate Read Across America Day than on March 2, the birthday of the beloved Dr. Seuss? It’s the perfect kickoff to March’s National March Into Literacy Month, both of which are dedicated to the promotion of reading and literacy.

Read Across America Day was first introduced by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998. The NEA’s goal for the celebration is to motivate kids to become lifelong readers, thereby improving student performance. Every year, schools, public libraries, and other organizations celebrate this day by holding reading events for kids.

Ways Parents Can Promote Reading

There are many ways parents can promote a love of reading and encourage their kids to read not only during this celebration but year-round:

Read to kids. Begin reading to your child very early. The NEA suggests infancy is a good time to start. As your child grows, encourage their participation in reading the story with or to you. Although your child may not be ready to read, kids often have some of their favorite books or pages memorized. By making your child an active participant, it will help develop their love for reading.

Visit the library. Think of the library as a big free educational toy store. Help your child choose some books, but also encourage them to look through the shelves and select some on their own. Your child can also take home audiobooks, video games, videos, and music CDs.

Celebrate Read Across America Day & National March Into Literacy Month

BY KIMBERLY BLAKER

Help your child build a collection. One thing common among reading lovers is how much they enjoy having their own book collection. Help your child build a personal library of their favorite series, author, or genre. Then give your child a special shelf to store and display the collection.

Play word games. Look for board, computer, or phone games that help kids develop their reading and spelling skills and vocabulary.

Sign up for Goodreads. Through this Android and iOS app, kids can track both the books they’ve read and those they want to read. They can also check out what their friends are reading.

Subscribe your child to a magazine. There’s a host of kids’ magazines on the market and something for every age group. It will give your child something to look forward to each month and build enthusiasm for reading.

Read in front of your kids. Show kids that reading isn’t just a school requirement, but rather a lifelong activity. Let them see you reading both to learn and for pleasure.

Form a kid’s book club. If your child is interested in it, this is a great way to build excitement for reading. You’ll want to find kids who are all about the same reading level. You’ll need to decide where to hold the weekly or monthly meetings, which could be at your house, or perhaps your school or public library will provide you space. You might be able to advertise it through your child’s school or public library as well.

Set up a reading room or corner. Find a quiet distraction-free area in your home to designate as the reading area. It should have comfy seating, perhaps even a bean bag or two, pillows, blankets, and good lighting.

BENEFITS OF PET OWNERSHIP FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

BY SARAH LYONS

Pet ownership can bring joy and happiness to any home. For children with sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, and social or behavioral issues, adopting a domesticated pet can provide wonderful benefits. Here are some great reasons to consider adding a pet to your family.

CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Helps Grow Social Skills

Kids who spend time playing with a pet typically enjoy interacting with people more than kids who don’t own a pet. They also learn to develop skills such as interpreting nonverbal cues and trust. Owning a pet can also encourage empathy towards animals and humans alike.

Lower Stress

Having a furry friend to play with, pet, and cuddle can lower stress and elevate mood. Stroking a pet’s soft fur can have a calming effect on people. “When my daughter is crying, our cat will come running and snuggle up to her,” says Katlyn Purkapile, Edgerton mom of three. “It has been amazing to see the change it has made with her. My daughter starts petting her and calms down quicker than any other techniques we have tried. It’s a really special relationship.” Per a study done by Frontiers in Psychology, people who spend time with a pet on a regular basis have lower blood pressure, lower heart rate, and less stress. Patients that were visited by a service animal while in the hospital also reported less pain.

Helps Develop Life Skills

Kids who have the opportunity to care for a pet will also develop important life skills such as time management, responsibility, and understanding the importance of a schedule for feeding, walking, and cleaning their pet.

Stability

Kids who crave stability and routine will benefit from having a pet in their lives. Pets can provide a different type of stability that they may not get from peers or family members. “My 8-year-old has ADHD. We recently got him a kitten, and he sits still and is calm with her for long periods of time,” says Olathe mom, Pricella Edwards. “I believe it helps him.”

Promotes Learning

Many parents have found that having their pet near them during virtual learning or while doing homework helps the child stay calm and focused. “My 11-year-old has anxiety and depression. For her birthday she received a guinea pig. Lilly, the guinea pig, has been a game changer,” says Tiffany Nolan, mom of five. “Virtual schooling was especially difficult for her. Suggesting she snuggle Lilly will

dramatically improve her mood and demeanor. For her (and for us) it has had a huge positive impact.”

Pets are a great addition to any family but can be a huge help to kids with special needs. Before adopting a pet, consider what type of animal would best fit your lifestyle, space, and budget. “It’s important to do your research and get a pet that will work for your family,” says Becky Smith, Olathe mom. “I was very careful about getting an older cat with a calm demeanor to best get along with my kids.”

Ask your child for their input and let them help choose what type of pet they would like to join the family. Chances are your new pet will have a positive impact on everyone in your household.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE Adopting a Pet

Cost: Pet ownership can be expensive. Before adopting an animal, research the cost of purchasing the animal, vet bills, food, and any other items needed. Depending on the type of animal, the cost could go on for many years.

Space: It’s important to choose a pet that is a good fit for your home and yard size. If you are renting, check to make sure your property owner allows pets.

Care: Determine who will be responsible for your pet. Some children may not be able to clean up after or manage some of their pet’s needs. Who will be responsible? Are you willing to commit to this for the lifespan of the pet?

Attention: What does your child’s schedule look like? Does your child have time to give the attention the pet deserves? Are you home enough to walk a dog? Do you travel often? Who would take care of the animal while you are at work, school, or on vacation?

Noise: Some kids may have sensitivity to loud noises. If this is the case, you may not want to adopt a dog that barks loudly. If your child is a light sleeper, you may not want to have a nocturnal animal’s cage in their room at night.

With these things in mind, it will be easier to determine which animal would be the best fit for your family.

How to Prepare for Your Child’s IEP Meeting

BY SARAH LYONS

An individualized education plan (IEP) is a key component of your child’s special education plan. By law, schools are required to provide services to kids who qualify. An IEP meeting is where goals will be set and which services will be provided are decided on by both educators and the child’s guardians. This can be very intimidating for parents. With preparation and research prior to the meeting, parents will feel more informed and confident during the meeting. The time spent before will lead them to be better advocates for their child, while developing a plan that will help the child have more success in school while keeping everyone happy. Below you will find six steps to help best prepare you for your child’s IEP meeting.

1. Talk to the Teacher

It is important to talk to your child’s teacher to determine how things are going at school. The teacher can help identify your child’s strengths and challenges and may suggest what services would be helpful to them. If possible, observe your child in the classroom to get a feel for how social interactions and classroom learning are going. Knowing this information, as well as their current math and

reading levels, will help you assist in setting goals during the IEP meeting.

2. Read Up

The school should send home a notice of meeting that states who will attend the IEP meeting, the reason for meeting, and, if applicable, goals set in the previous IEP meetings. Carefully read the information sent home so you understand what to expect. You may also consider studying special education laws that pertain to your child’s needs so you know what services you can legally ask for. There are many websites and books available to help parents prepare for IEP meetings as well. The more knowledge you have, the more confident and comfortable you will feel during the meeting.

3. Set Goals

Prior to the meeting, write down the questions you would like to ask. This is also a great time to consider what visions and goals you have for your child and make note of them. Bring your notes with you to the meeting so you can refer to them throughout the process.

Having a list of questions and an idea of goals you would like to see your child reach will help you make sure that you cover everything you had hoped, even if the emotions of the meeting make it more difficult to remember your questions and concerns. Don’t be afraid to ask for additional services for your child. The school may not provide everything you had in mind, but it never hurts to ask.

4. Get Organized

Collect any paperwork you need or would like to bring to the meeting and gather it in one place so it is neat and organized. Bring your notes from your observation, your list of questions and goals you would like to set, and any medical paperwork that pertains to the IEP meeting. If you have had any private evaluations done, bring copies of those as well.

5. Bring an Advocate

Because IEP meetings can be intimidating, it can be helpful to bring an advocate to the meeting with you. This could be a lawyer or simply a spouse or co-parent. Having a person there both for support and to be another advocate for your child can be a good boost of confidence for the parent to help ensure you meet the goals you would like for your child. Be sure to let your school know, in advance, who will be attending the meeting with you.

6. Be Confident

You know your child best and are the best person to represent their needs, challenges, and successes. While it can be emotional and overwhelming to address issues your child is facing when it comes to learning, setting goals and ensuring the proper services

are provided is the best thing you can do for your child’s success in school. Dress appropriately for the meeting, bring the documents and notes you prepared, and speak confidently and lovingly about your child. Your preparation and concerns will be apparent to everyone at the meeting, and you will have the reassurance that you were prepared and did your best to help your child be successful in school.
