On April 29 of this year Rosenberg began his journey. Unlike most road bikers in our area, his bike is laden with four pan- niers (“they're basically saddlebags like a motorcyclist or a horseback rider would have,” he said), a sleeping mat, a tent and a place to view maps up front. That's Greeley Grad how he navigates–with maps provided by the Adventure Cycling Association. He pitches his tent in parks where allowed, or Raises Money in other more rustic locations, and occa- sionally sleeps in the basements of certain for Women in Kore, Ethiopia churches that are open to all.

Kindergarten Skills Potential Reasons to Repeat
Deciding whether or not to repeat kindergarten can be a very hard decision for Kindergarten families. Dawn Lorenz, a kindergarten teacher at World Cup Nursery School in Chappaqua for 24 years, notes that children entering kindergarten should have • Social or emotional immaturity the following skills: • A slower developmental timeline • Any reason that leads you to suspect that • The ability to listen attentively your child may need just a bit of extra time • Follow multi-step directions Lorenz says that she has never had parents who • Stay on task for increasing periods of time came back to her regretting their decision to have • Work cooperatively their child repeat kindergarten, but there are many • Resolve conflicts socially parents who wish they did make that decision • Function independently (put on shoes, use bathroom independently, etc.) because their child just was not ready yet. “We • Transition between tasks or locations have to make the decision based on our individual children after taking into consideration advice from • Follow classroom rules the “experts” in our lives (whether that be teachers, • Ask for help when needed school districts, preschool directors, etc.).”
Lorenz warns parents against having their child repeat kindergarten so they can “There should not be any embarrassment or gain an advantgae in academics or sports. “There needs to be a clear reason stigma at all if you are making the decision for the to repeat the grade. It isn’t about being the oldest, fastest, best, or smartest, it appropriate reasons for your individual child. You is about that individual child and how they will feel during that kindergarten year. want to set the stage for the rest of their career in Childhood is a journey, not a race; the social-emotional skills are a foundation education–you want them to be happy and love for academics, now and in the future, so we should not rush our kids to attain learning!” sums up Lorenz. skills. We need to respect that five-year-old year and how important it is to a child’s life and development,” she explains.

Twenty years ago, I dragged my husband kicking and screaming to Chappaqua.
His nails are still embedded in the wall of Zabar's. His resistance notwithstanding, we got ourselves a pretty center hall Colonial with lovely neighbors, a rose garden and a Volvo. Our son made lasting friendships, rode his bike in the cul-de-sac and explored the woods behind our house. It was bliss.
Fast forward fourteen years and said son was halfway through college and spending most of his weekends in the city. The house was beginning to feel big for the two of us, I was back working in the city, and the drives home were feeling longer. As much as we loved the quiet, the flowering trees in the spring, and relaxing on the deck with a glass of wine, we knew it was time to return to the city. Since then, we've happily settled in a comfortable co-op, within walking distance of our favorite theaters and museums, and with a beautiful roof deck where we now sip our wine against the backdrop of the incomparable city skyline.

While broad emission reductions require Federal and State lea- dership, SAB has promoted and been the driving force behind implementing a number of actions, empowering a local commitment to reducing New Castle's carbon footprint.
Composting Pilot Program
The SAB is currently spearheading a voluntary recycling program to reduce food waste, one of the largest components of our trash. A win-win as the town’s food scraps are turned into compost at a commercial facility becoming something useful, rather than a contributor to waste and pollution. The Town’s food scrap recycling program pro- vides an alternative to those residents who don’t compost at home. Participants in the pilot program purchase kits (comprised of two collection bins and compostable liners) for $25. These kits are available at the New Castle Recycling center where the food scraps, stored in approved com- postable liners, can be dropped off during regular business hours.
Barbara Cardone, a Chappaqua resident recently purchased a compost kit for her four-genera- tion household. She is glad she did because her garbage disposal now will hardly be used so the impact on her septic tank will be less. She keeps How New Castle Is both the small container and the large container in her kitchen. “There is absolutely no odor with either of them.
