Kings Park trail dedicated in honor of WWII vet

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

SARA-MEGAN WALSH

A secluded Kings Park trail was dedicated to honor a Huntington veteran, who is remembered as “humble” and yet “a trailblazer” by his family and friends.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation unveiled a plaque April 20 dedicating the walking path of the Kings Park Unique Area off Meadow Road to Sgt. Clarence Beavers. He was the last surviving original member of the first class of AfricanAmerican paratroopers from the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, known better as the Triple Nickles. He died Dec. 4, 2017.

“This is a long overdue honor to someone who obviously was a great American and a hometown hero here in Suffolk County,” said Peter Scully, the county’s deputy executive.

During World War II, Beavers and his fellow paratroopers worked jointly with the U.S. military and United States Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service on Operation Firefly in 1945. Their mission, as smokejumpers, was to respond to any threat or fires caused by the Japanese incendiary bomb attacks on the nation’s western forests.

In the summer of 1945, the Triple Nickle paratroopers responded to 36 fires and made more than 1,200 jumps, according to Deidra McGee, the U.S. Forest Services’ liaison for the Triple Nickles. McGee said the unit also led the way in the racial desegregation of the

military starting in 1948.

“As people come and enjoy this beautiful trail, they can think of Sgt. Beavers and what he worked so hard to protect for all of us, the beautiful forests of the United States, particularly the West Coast,” said state Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (RSt. James). “It’s an appropriate tribute.”

The Kings Park Unique Area is a 69-acre green space where residents can hike, bow hunt and go wildlife watching. The 0.3-mile trail dedicated to Beavers is handicapped accessible and features an interpretive kiosk that tells the story of the Triple Nickles. The site was chosen because it’s the closest stateowned woodlands to his home, according to DEC spokesman Bill Fonda.

“My father would be honored, very honored,” his daughter Charlotta Beavers said.

“It was very important to him that the 555th [battalion] and what they did be remembered.”

Lelena Beavers said she and her husband, Clarence, moved to Huntington in the late 1980s, after he finished his military service, to raise their five daughters and son. He continued to work for the federal government in the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense working as a computer systems analyst and programmer.

“Wherever he went, he would always get involved in the community,” his daughter Charlotta said.

The Rev. James Rea Jr., of Bethany Presbyterian Church in Huntington Station, recalled

The Beavers family and friends look at the new interpretative kiosk sign about Clarence Beavers and the Triple Nickles at the Kings Park Unique Area. how Beavers played a pivotal role in helping the church after a fire approximately 25 years ago, when it was without a pastor.

“Clarence Beavers stepped up out of the ashes, not afraid of the fire or the smoke, and had the leadership that was necessary to have the church restored,” the pastor said.

“He was a man of faith, a man of courage and a true leader in his community.

Beavers was a member of the American Legion Greenlawn Post 1244, involved in the Wyandanch Reserve Officers’ Training

Corps., helped found the 555th Parachute Infantry Association Inc. and traveled nationally, speaking about the unit.

“We owe a great deal of gratitude to Mr. Beavers ... [and] those who served in a secret war, jumping into fires in near impossible conditions while fighting racism at every turn,” said Smithtown Councilwoman Lisa Inzerillo (R). “Everyone here, tell his story, tell their story to everyone you meet, and let it be known that courage has no color.”

How can I protect myself from getting a disease?

A. The medical term for this concept is “Primary Prevention”. It is the core goal of a patient’s annual wellness visit. At an annual wellness visit, we can screen for diseases that a patient is not even aware of because they are experiencing no discomfort and have no present complaints.

Typically these procedures range from a simple blood test to screen for thyroid disease to more extensive imaging such as a CAT scan to detect for possible lung cancer. The primary prevention strategies employed at an annual wellness visit depend upon a patient’s particular risk factors as evaluated during the office visit. Risk factors include age and smoking history. Annual wellness visits provide the potential of early intervention before a disease process causes unnecessary damage and can greatly increase and improve the success of available treatment options. Most importantly, annual wellness visits provide a setting for preventative medicine. The risk of many of the most serious diseases that commonly afflict people can largely be avoided by changes in behavior and habits.

How can I stop from my disease from getting worse?

A. If you are already diagnosed with a disease, and are experiencing symptoms, you may feel overwhelmed, but it is important not to lose sight of how powerful your response to any disease can be. Your primary care physician strives to improve your overall health and can help you along the way to minimize symptoms on your journey to recovery. Even serious ailments such as diabetically induced strokes can be greatly mitigated by taking proactive interventions years ahead of time, and working with your physician to fine tune your medication regimen. The primary care physician can often times recognize overlapping complaints and understand is the combination of symptoms, signaling a change in the disease progression and consequently prescribe appropriate remedial treatment.

This concept is referred to as “Secondary Prevention” and the lessening of the functional impact of any disease is referred to as “Tertiary Prevention”.

When can diet and exercise decrease the chances for getting a heart attack or stroke?

A. The potential for prevention starts in the months and years before a heart attack or stroke actually occurs.

Research has identified statistically reliable parameters that are indicative of increasing and decreasing dangerous health risks. For instance, lifestyle modifications aimed at improving your diet and increasing the amount of exercise you do has been shown to offer the greatest benefits when started as early as possible. Your primary care physician’s treatment protocol is informed by these lifestyle choices along with measuring blood pressure, conducting routine lipid profiling and standard physical examinations to evaluate personal risk factors.

How to minimize the side effects of medications?

A. All medications have the potential for side effects. Some common place examples include lipid lowering medication causing leg cramps, or diabetic medications lowering blood sugar levels to an uncomfortable degree. Intervention in these incidences involves providing patients with appropriate education and step-by-step training of patients and their care-givers to recognize undesirable symptoms in a timely fashion in order to achieve optimal health without excessive medication side effects. Wellness and resilience can only naturally result when your treatment regimen is in balance.

Smithtown parks get first upgrades in two decades Surplus funds to be used to redesign Bellemeade Ave parking lot

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A trio of Smithtown parks are finally getting their day in the sun as upgrades are underway for the first time in two decades.

Joseph Arico, Smithtown’s park maintenance director, said town employees are working to finish updates already underway to Joseph Andreoli Park in Nesconset, and Gaynor and Veterans Memorial parks in St. James before schools let out for the summer. The capital projects are expected to come in at or below the approximately $1 million budgeted, according to Arico, and the leftover funds will go toward town’s redesign of the Bellemeade Avenue municipal parking lot.

“It has been a long time in coming,” he said. “I’m going to say that Gibbs Pond park, the last time work was done there was probably at least 15 to 20 years ago at the minimum.”

Joseph Andreoli Park, commonly referred to as Gibbs Pond park, will be receiving a completely new playground set including one specifically made for younger children.

The old rubber matting which covered the play space is being stripped and replaced with Classic Turf, which Arico said looks more like a synthetic grass “shag rug” than traditional artificial turf.

“When [the matting] gets old and you have to repair it, it never looks the same,” the parks director said. “There were patch marks all over the place, you could see the old and the new.”

He said his hope is the new Classic Turf will be easier for town employees to fix and maintain in the future. Work at Gibbs Pond is about 80 percent complete, according to Arico, and is anticipated to be finished by mid-May. In St. James, the construction vehicles sitting in Gaynor Park’s parking lot serve as a clear sign to residents of the nearly $500,000 in upgrades that are underway. The town’s two existing tennis courts are being resurfaced while the adjacent basketball court is getting enlarged from half court to full regulation size. A new playground was in the process of being installed April 20, which must be finished before the grass turf and brickwork can be done. Arico said he hopes construction will wrap up by the end of May. “We should be close, but it’s hard to say based on how the weather goes from here forward,” he said.

The town has set aside nearly $310,000 to improve Veterans Memorial Park off Moriches Road in St. James.

While the park received updates to its fields recently, it will also be getting a new playground set and artificial grass surface, according to Arico. Construction will be starting shortly, with the aim of finishing by June.

“The water park playground will also be resurfaced so kids don’t get scraped-up knees,” he said. “It’s a big deal.”

Once all three projects are completed, Arico said there should be several thousand dollars left over to go toward the town’s other capital projects including the redesign of Bellemeade Avenue municipal parking lot off Smithtown’s Main Street. Originally slated only for resurfacing, Councilman Tom Lohmann (R) said a quick review of the lot showed drainage improvements and street lighting were needed.

“If we are going to make these capital investments, we have to make sure we do it the right way to get the most longevity out of our investments,” Lohmann said.

Arico and the councilman have pulled several town departments together to engineer plans to redesign the town-owned land to improve conditions and reconfigure the layout of spaces, hopefully, gaining a few.

“I think once it’s said and done, we will have a lot of people taking advantage of the lot,” Lohmann said.

A new playground is being installed at Gaynor Park in St. James.

TBR News Media wins 11 NY Press Association awards TBR News Media raked in 11 New York Press Association 2017 awards April 14-15.

The company won prizes across the gamut of categories, from news and feature stories to photos and advertisements.

“I am so proud of the staff at TBR News Media that works hard to deliver the news each week,” Publisher Leah Dunaief said.

“We are delighted to be among the top winners in the contest, as we are every year.”

In the feature story category, TBR News Media had two winners for its division among publications with similar circulation. Port Times Record Editor Alex Petroski won first place for his story on how a local political party boss helped President Donald Trump (R) win Long Island votes.

“Following the election, many wondered, ‘How did Trump win?’ judges wrote about Petroski’s piece titled “One on one with the man who helped Donald Trump win Suffolk County,” which profiled Suffolk County Republican Committee Chairman John Jay LaValle and details his relationship with the president. “This story answers that on a micro level with an in-depth interview of the man who helped Trump in Suffolk County. I think more papers would have been well served to seek out similar stories.”

Reporter Kevin Redding took third in the same category for a The Village Times Herald

story on a spooky local bar in Smithtown.

“A perfect pre-Halloween story about the haunted local watering hole,” NYPA judges said. “Plenty of examples of what some have seen, heard and felt, which is just what you’d want from a story about a haunted building.”

Petroski also won second place in Division 3 for his ongoing coverage on a boat ramp in Port Jefferson Village where two people had died and at least one other was severely injured, in the news series category. Times of Huntington Editor Sara-Megan Walsh took third place in the same category.

“Comprehensive, sustained coverage of a life-or-death infrastructure issue,” the judges wrote of Petroski’s five-piece submission that included three stories, a front page and an editorial on the topic. “Lede with compelling citizens rather than reports from bureaucrats or written statements. Narrative scene-setting ledes can make stories like this more important and compelling.”

Redding also roped in a second award, getting a third-place nod in feature photo Division 2 for a picture he took for The Village Beacon Record at the Hope Walk for Addiction at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai.

“There was tight competition for third place, but the emotion on the faces of the people in this photo put it a step above the rest,” the judges said of the women hugging and crying in the photo, who’d lost loved ones to battles with addiction.

One of Kevin Redding’s two awards was for the photo above, of two women embracing one another during a Hope Walk for Addiction at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai last year. won first place in the Division 2 picture story category for her layout of local Setauket resident Donna Crinnian’s photos of birds in Stony Brook Harbor. The picture essay was titled “Winged Wonders of Stony Brook.”

“Elegant way to showcase nature of our feathered friends,” NYPA judges wrote.

Director of Media Productions Michael Tessler received an honorable mention in Division 2 coverage of the arts category for his review of Port Jefferson’s Theatre Three’s “A Christmas Carol.”

“Nice photos and an insightful story on

the characters portraying a beloved classic,” judges said.

The Village Times Herald won first place for its classified advertising, as judges said it was “clean, precise, well-spaced and not crowded,” and Wendy Mercier claimed a first-place prize for best small space ad. TBR News Media’s Sharon Nicholson won second place for her design of a best large space ad.

The Village Times Herald ranked in the Top 5 in total advertising contest points with 50, good for fourth place. The first-place winner, Dan’s Papers, received 90.

SPORTS BILL LANDON

Clockwise from above, Rich Kim slides into second ahead of Rocky Point’s Dillon Cassidy’s tag attempt; John Dougherty hurls a pitch from the mound; Jayson Sanchez reaches for the ball; and Garret Bower rips the cover off the ball.

Kings Park drops first of three-game series to Rocky Point

BY BILL LANDON The Eagles know that if Joe Grillo has the ball, they’re in good hands.

The starting pitcher tossed seven strikeouts over six innings, not allowing a run on five hits, and walked three in the Rocky Point baseball team’s 5-2 win over visiting Kings Park April 23.

The senior put in work on both sides of the ball. He also went 1-for-2 with an RBI and two walks to help the Eagles remain atop the League VI leaderboard. Rocky Point sits at 8-2, while Kings Park drops to 8-5 after the first of a three-game series.

“Joe just had good stuff — he was pitching [for] contact, his pitch count was down,”

Rocky Point head coach Andrew Aschettino said. “We certainly didn’t play our best baseball game today, which makes the win that much more satisfying. We’re capable of playing a more complete game. We struggled to get the blow to put the game out of reach.”

Rocky Point peppered the scoreboard across the first four innings to take a 4-0 lead into the top of the fifth, with almost everyone in the lineup contributing to the score. Grillo got on base with a walk to start things off in the first and was brought home on a single by senior third baseman Mike Gunning. Grillo hit an RBI-single before stealing second with two outs in the bottom of the second, with sophomore short stop Dillon Cassidy on third, and after senior center fielder Ryan Callahan drew a walk to load the bases, Gunning was also walked to bring home Cassidy for a 3-0 lead.

The final out was made to strand the rest of Rocky Point’s runners. After a scoreless third, junior catcher Alexander Bonacci knocked a double that drove in Callahan after he stole second for a 4-0 cushion.

Though Kings Park junior starting pitcher John Dougherty struggled early, Grillo got into some trouble of his own after allowing a single and a walk. Kings Park senior Rich Kim, who hit the single, stole third after classmate Brett Harmon’s walk to put runners at the corners, and junior Andrew Bianco brought them home with a shot deep to right field to cut the lead in half, 4-2.

In the top of the sixth, the Kingsmen once again had runners on the corners with one out, but Grillo was able to force a pair of r outine infield grounders to end the inning.

Junior left fielder Trey Miller hit an RBI-single that brought home Gunning after he gunned his way to third following his double to give the game its final score.

The Eagles ended the game on a double play in the top of the seventh.

“Trey [Miller] coming in and getting some ground balls helped shut the door,” Aschettino said. “And we were able to close it out on our second chance at a double play, so to end it the way we did was huge.”

Grillo said even when Kings Park made it a two-run game, and despite having to pitch his way out of trouble twice, he never thought his game was in jeopardy.

“I had faith in my fielders at all times, and my arm felt good today,” he said. “[But we have to work on] our situational at-bats, we have to do a lot more to make better contact and if we continue to have sound pitching we’ll be there.”

Rocky Point traveled to Kings Park April 25 for game two, but results were not available by press time. The final game of the series is slated for 4 p.m. back on the Eagles’ turf today, April 26.

Redirecting energy toward overdoses

RITA J. EGAN

Civic leaders hope to halt the construction of a canopy at a gas station in Setauket to maintain the area’s Main Street feel.

Planning to avoid battles A recurring battle along the North Shore that we’re noticing is the struggle communities go through to maintain historical characteristics while also satisfying modern business needs.

Where town or village codes may be lacking to maintain historical and/or architectural cohesion, community leaders are recognizing the importance of creating visioning plans. Our hope is that the want for sense of place is mixed with the needs of businesses in order to fill empty storefronts when crafting each plan in order to create a healthy mix.

Setting up guidelines to maintain its architectural heritage and cohesion is something Port Jefferson Village is paying attention to. At the end of last year, a draft resolution based on a meeting of the village’s architectural review committee was introduced. If passed, it would require new buildings in the village’s commercial districts to adhere to designs consistent with Port Jeff’s “Victorian, maritime heritage” and to avoid a “hodgepodge” of buildings. The policy is far from complete but standards are being discussed, and that’s a good start.

Constructing a visioning plan, with the assistance of residents and business owners, would be beneficial for revitalization in areas like Broadway in Rocky Point. Setauket and Stony Brook residents took a step in the right direction when community leaders, residents and business owners met in 2016 and 2017 to create the Route 25A Three Village Area Visioning Report. The report, approved by the Brookhaven Town Board and pending the adoption of a land-use study by the town’s planning department, creates guidelines for issues that affect the Three Village area including maintaining cohesive architecture.

It gave the Three Village Civic Association some backup when it opposed the owners of a Shell gas station in Setauket on Route 25A applying for variances to the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. The company submitted proposed plans to construct a large canopy and a lighted electric sign at the gas station. The board closed an April 18 hearing without a decision and, according to town guidelines, has 62 days to make one. While the owners say most gas stations have canopies, residents at the hearing provided evidence to the contrary along Route 25A between St. James and Port Jefferson.

If the gas station doesn’t get its way with its plans, we doubt it will vacate the premises. But what about other cases when a business owner feels an addition would attract more customers? This is when a visioning plan created with history in mind, but also present business needs can have the most impact. During discussions, compromise may be the key.

Northport Village has been able to strike such an agreement. Last summer, the village board was approached about building a hotel at 225 Main St. — something unheard of before then. While residents criticized the proposed plans, the village approved a code modification to make way for the inn. Then the village’s architectural review board toured the 1950s building to determine firsthand if it had any historic value, before allowing the proposed plans to move forward. This two-step process allowed for a democratic proceeding, while protests may have otherwise left empty storefronts or rundown properties standing as eyesores, which is not the best option.

With some discussion, civic-minded folks with a respect for historical aspects can keep business districts from looking like an unattractive mixture of buildings. Taking in the concerns of business owners, can keep those buildings filled.

Anger, while a strong motivating force, can too often cloud thoughtful deliberation. When that emotion is consistently fueled by an energized, supportive media, crucial facts become ignored. The result is one’s ability to prioritize critical information and make good decisions based on solid evidence is compromised.

Sadly, that has become the case with the roiling debate over the Second Amendment. Lost in the noble call to stop killers with guns is data showing accidental drug overdoses are deadlier than gun homicides, especially in Suffolk County.

Analysis of FBI stats shows there were about 11,000 gunrelated homicides in 2016. The semiautomatic AR-15 rifle was considered responsible for under 400 of those. Meanwhile, in the

same year, drug overdoses took the lives of well over 64,000 Americans, many of them school age. The probability of dying from an overdose is nearly six times greater than being shot to death.

For every one person murdered by someone using an AR-15 almost 185 die from drugs.

The percentages are far more dramatic here in Suffolk County.

According to then Police Commissioner Tim Sini, there were 34 homicides in 2016. State records show 13 of them were “firearm related.” During the same year 360 residents were lost to the drug epidemic. That ratio is almost 28 to 1.

It’s almost unimaginable that anyone reading this hasn’t been in some way touched by a friend, family member or neighbor whose been affected by this curse. How many of us have

been brokenhearted attending wakes and funerals of those suddenly, shockingly, inexplicably taken? Yet even as this deadly scourge has swallowed our area like no other in New York State, it’s disappointing local activists “marching for our lives” haven’t loudly proclaimed reducing accidental OD fatalities to be part of their life-saving mission. While it would be sensational to prevent the one person a month from being shot to death in Suffolk, it would save a whole lot more lives if we could reduce by half the one person a day killed by a drug overdose. Redirecting some of the aforementioned emotion and properly recalibrating priorities accordingly might be a worthy place to start.

Zeldin votes against working families On April 12, Congressman Lee Zeldin voted for the so-called balanced budget amendment, a bill that sought to make massive cuts to Medicare, federal student loans and agriculture subsidies.

The bill failed to pass the House, largely on party lines. But the cruelty of trying to balance a budget by gutting the social safety net cannot be ignored, particularly after a Republican tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, that added over $1 trillion to our nation’s debt, was passed just months ago.

This vote against working families is part of a larger pattern

in Lee Zeldin’s voting record. In 2017, he voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, even though the Ryan/Trump plan would cause 67,000 of his constituents to lose their health insurance.

Zeldin also voted for the so-called Financial Choice Act, which rolled back many of the Dodd-Frank protections, a slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of Long Islanders hurt by the fiscal irresponsibility that led to the Great Recession. Additionally, Zeldin voted for the budget resolution that paved the way for the Republican tax cut that will cause Long Islanders to lose their state

and local tax deductions.

In reviewing Congressman Zeldin’s record, it is unclear who he is working for. Perhaps he’s doing the bidding of his wealthy donors, Robert and Rebekah Mercer. Perhaps he is angling for a job in the revolving door of the chaotic Trump administration.

Whatever his intent, it’s clear that Lee Zeldin is not working for the constituents of this district. I look forward to getting out to vote for his opponent and repealing and replacing Congressman Lee Zeldin Nov. 6.

Putin has no place in White House Invite Putin to the White House? Are you serious? Perhaps a visit to the International Court of Justice would be more appropriate, and it would be more in keeping with his political behavior.

The Russian dictator shoots or poisons his opposition and so what does our president do? He invites Putin to our White House.

He also congratulates him on his nondemocratic election.

Putin must have something on the Donald, sexual or economic, due to Trump’s desire to have a Trump Tower placed next to the Kremlin. The Donald denies any collusion with the Russians or having any help in his upset victory in the 2016 election. He asks [Jeff] Sessions, our attorney general, to protect him, and when he asked FBI head [Jim] Comey to give a break to his future national security adviser,

Comey refused and then he was fired. Our president doesn’t listen to his lawyers and advisers but seems to follow the views of Fox News. I wonder who will protect Americans, our present democracy and great nation against Donald Trump.

P.S. We do not have to make America great again or send troops to the Mexican border.

A brief encounter with an outraged motorist

T

he morning routine for all four of us was slightly off kilter. My daughter, who usually doesn’t have the energy to complain about starting her day, suggested that she really needed a day off. Sorry, but that wasn’t going to happen. Besides, she doesn’t generally want a day at home because she feels as if she would fall behind in her classes and would rather keep pace.

I dropped her off at school as she groaned something to the effect of, “Bye, have a good day, I hate this.”

I returned to

down the stairs. It’s an expression we use that is exactly as it sounds. He throws his feet so heavily and loudly on the steps that the house shakes until he reaches the first floor, turns hard to his right twice and collapses into his chair.

My wife and I raced out of the house two minutes behind our usual departure time. Two minutes? How was I supposed to make it to a train that is only early when we’re late? It’s Murphy’s law of trains. Whatever can go wrong with the commute does go wrong and, often, in conjunction with other problems.

We came to the final light seconds before the train was scheduled to pull in.

We reached the traffic light just as it turned red, in that small window when all the lights are red at the same time.

Despite the line to my left waiting for a green light, I made a right on red and pulled into the intersection behind another car waiting to make the

immediate left into the train station.

Unfortunately, the cars on the other side of the street hadn’t left an opening for the frantic commuters to reach the station. When their light changed, the traffic immediately started moving, blocking us from making the turn.

My wife considered getting out, racing across the street and trotrunning through the parking lot.

The cars speeding by near her door made that impossible.

A car behind me honked, moved to our right and slowly passed. A woman in her 60s flipped us the bird.

Do we still do that? Do we still raise our middle finger to strangers? I do it to my computer when it’s frozen and to my phone when it’s not allowing me to respond to an email or text, or when it adds an error to one of my emails because it retyped a name into something potentially problematic.

But this woman, with her tight lips, curled and dyed hair, and menacing

eyes, slowly rolled past me, extending the curse finger just in front of her left shoulder. That raised digit was so stiff, long and rigid that it looked it could have just as easily have been a weapon as a gesture.

I was stunned to react immediately.

Then a few responses ricocheted around my head as my wife raced out of the car: “Sorry? Right back at you, sweetheart.” ... “You know what you can do with that finger.”

It’s possible her day had, or was expected to have, much bigger problems than mine. I am sorry I upset her so much that she needed to express her outrage.

Or maybe I gave her a chance to be angry at something other than herself, her family, her boss or the people who work for her. Could I have done her a favor, providing a target for her anger?

I don’t know her story, but I do know that my day suddenly seemed less problematic.

United States, where education is viewed as the ladder to success, a traditional college education at a fine college has always been ranked at the top of the pyramid. Those schools are also the most expensive because they are mainly private. There are various scholarships to help, but for most without adequate resources those schools can be out of reach.

Then there are public universities, many of which are exemplary and much cheaper, particularly if you live in state. And three cheers for the two-year community colleges that can carry you halfway to a college degree with truly minimum expense. There are also work-study schools that may take longer to graduate from, but who is holding a stopwatch on your life?

Anyway, what you get out of college is directly proportional to what you put in. Like the computer expression, it’s garbage in, garbage out. So what is the bottom line here?

What can you expect to get out of a good, traditional college?

For starters, there is knowledge, knowledge about almost everything known to humans at the time you attend. It’s there for the asking,

assuming there is room for you to enroll in the classes of your choice.

And if you go on to college reasonably soon after you graduate from high school, you can focus on acquiring the knowledge of your choice without the responsibilities of a spouse, a car, a house, children, a dog and making a living. In college, you have a roof over your head, your meals are prepared and the lawn is mowed for you. The knowledge you choose to acquire may or may not turn out to be directly applicable to the work that you eventually do, but it will certainly contribute to your understanding of your world — scientifically, culturally, historically, economically, politically, and that will give you profound satisfaction. If your job depends on what you know rather than how much you can lift, knowledge will extend your work life, at the senior end when those whose bodies can no longer respond to physical tasks may face uncertain “golden years.”

Learning, of course, doesn’t depend on or stop with a college education. But appreciation for the value of knowledge grows as we age. Boy, how I wish I could live again those college years.

Now I would know why I was there.

To be or not to be all that you can be

I

t actually makes me cringe when I hear discussions questioning whether a college education is worth the expense. Yes, college loans carried by students after they graduate are astronomical and unprecedented.

The average student loan debt for the Class of 2016, for example, is $37,172, up 6 percent from the preceding year.

Americans owe, in total, more than $1.48 trillion in student loans spread out over 44 million borrowers, more than the $620 billion owed on credit cards, according to figures obtained from Student

By Leah S. Dunaief the Loan Hero website. Average monthly student loan repayment after graduation, for borrowers 20 to 30 years of age, is $351.

Those are, of course, mammoth numbers that are hard to conceive.

Between you and me

But how about this for comparison: Mortgage debt is $8.8 trillion. You can move out of a house, but you only have one head. And what you fill that head with can determine the quality of the rest of your life. Your house may contain your financial equity, but your knowledge base and critical thinking make up your life’s equity.

I know the stories about the college dropouts who become billionaires.

Good for them, they don’t have to worry about money. But that is part of the point I am trying to make.

Education is not only about money, about the job you will hold or the amount of toys you will own by the time you die. Education is partially about income, as statistics prove.

College grads earn more in the course of their lives than high school grads.

And while today’s auto mechanic, who goes to a vocational school and who is really a kind of computer engineer can earn as much, perhaps, as a doctor or lawyer, money is not the only value in life. Satisfaction, a key ingredient of happiness, is another.

So what do you get from a college education? Is it worth the price?

First let’s talk about price. In the
