Frattura and Compton lead MacArthur’s Class of 2023

continued from front page gy, which takes the humanities into environmental science. We analyzed a 19th century diary written by a railroad conductor who documented his one-month trip from Philadelphia to California and noted the weather. Our research was published in a peer review journal. I was able to showcase it at the Harvard Club in Manhattan, in a competition called the Journal of Young Explorers Meta.”

Compton is also a member of the National Honor Society and the Math Honor Society, and is MacArthur’s treasurer of Tri-M Music Honor Society. She is also in “MacAppella,” MacArthur’s a capella singing group, and has performed in many plays at the school as well, including “Little Women.”

Compton partook in research at Stony Brook University in the summer of 2022 with a focus on physics. She also participated in the Toshiba Exploravision’s national competition, which implored students to find hypothetical solutions to gun violence using technology they had created.

“I won honorable mention in that,” Compton said. “My project was to reduce gun violence using radio frequency identification technology, which would detect guns when people are walking in and out of doors and set off a silent alarm that would alert police.”

Compton also was a part of Medical Marvels, with a similar angle about reducing gun violence. Both Compton and Frattura placed third in the New York State Chemagination competition.

Spring 2023 Flushing Notice

Each spring, Liberty flushes the pipes in our water distribution system. This is an essential part of our system maintenance program, which helps us to clean out any mineral deposits and sediment inside the pipes. When crews are in the area, customers may experience a drop in water pressure or discolored water. If this happens, let your water run until it is clear. Customers are encouraged to check for discolored water before using the washing machine or dishwasher.

Flushing will be conducted Monday - Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. Any changes due to weather will be posted on our website at www.libertyenergyandwater.com.

Both students are considered wellrounded scholars, with some of their favorite classes falling in humanities and STEM. Their favorite teachers at the school include David Friedman and Matthew Zausin, who were their science research advisors. They also singled out Eric Tompkins and George Donovan, both of the science department, as among their favorites. In addition, they included among their list of favorites Jill Roddini and Carisa Wellenreuther, who teach English, Lisa Levenberg, who teaches music, and Laura McCue of the history department.

Frattura said she plans to attend UCLA in the fall, majoring in chemistry.

She then intends to go to law school when she finishes her bachelor’s degree, and wants to become a patent attorney.

Compton will attend University of Pittsburgh, where she will study mechanical engineering, adding that she is not sure if she wants to go into the “industry side or the research side.”

School administrators praised the hard work put forth by both Frattura and Compton.

“These two spectacular young ladies have epitomized all the mandatory traits and attributes that are necessary for success throughout their high school years,” Joseph Sheehan, principal of MacArthur, said. “It has truly been an honor and a privilege to have worked with them, and I wish them all the very best of luck as they embark upon their future endeavors.”

2022 Annual Water Quality Reports

Learn about the quality of your water. Each year, Liberty provides its customers with an Annual Water Quality Report to let them know how our water quality stacks up against federal and state drinking water standards. If you are a customer of ours, we encourage you to review this report as it provides details about the source and quality of the drinking water delivered to you in 2022.
