Orchestra Online: The Challenge of Teaching Music Virtually at SHS
Written by Adam Katcher
Though it's nearly two years since Scarsdale High School was initial closed down due to COVID-19, the ramifications of the virus are still shaking the school. With a recent spike of the Omicron variant in New York, many students have had to quarantine or isolate and miss valuable days of school. Students are now able to Zoom into class like they were able to last school year.
Nonetheless, learning online, whether it be for one student or the entire school system, has its drawbacks. Most teachers developed effective virtual learning techniques through 2020 and the first half of 2021. Math teachers displayed cameras on whiteboards or pieces of paper and taught similarly to how they would if the students were in class. English teachers photocopied documents and allowed more time for online submissions for writing assignments to stay on pace with the curriculum. Spanish, history, and science teachers (like most teachers) used Google Classroom to send work and keep students up to speed. However, one class is nearly impossible to replicate virtually.
"The challenges are innumerous," explained Amedee Williams, the orchestra director/teacher at Scarsdale High School when describing the learning-via-Zoom experience, "because we can't play together."
Of course, having orchestra classes via Zoom is better than having to cancel orchestra altogether. The orchestra indeed met virtually while all other classes were also virtual, and the Zoom option was still available during the 2020/21 school year for kids who did not return to in-person learning. In some scenarios, Zoom can be a positive for the orchestra, but for the most part, it is a drawback. "Zoom works one on one quite well," Williams claimed, "but when you get to be 30, 40, or 50, it's bad news."
Williams continued, "Being able to hear each other well is also a challenge. Even when someone is playing by themselves, it gets cut off and you can't really hear. And for an orchestra class, there are so many students that managing everybody in a group is a challenge."
When asked about whether there are effective adjustments that could be made if an all-virtual schedule had to be returned to, Williams admitted, "There's not much we can do in terms of change. Cornell and Yale, for their orchestra classes, they changed from playing music to music history when virtual. But, for a class of our size and what our class is meant to be, that is far from optimal."
For now, the hope is that school will remain open and that orchestra class can carry on as usual. The first-semester concert was a success, and the hope is the second-semester concert will build on that progress. The planned orchestra February trip had to be postponed for a second consecutive year, though 2023 will ideally be the year to put the orchestra's traveling plans back on track.
Some music is better than no music at all, but there is no question that virtual learning for an orchestra class can be detrimental to an individual – and group's – progression as musicians. Individual talent can be improved upon, though improving as a cohesive musical unit is impossible when one violinist is three miles away from their stand partner.

The Scarsdale Public Library Goes Fine Free
The Scarsdale Public Library is eliminating and forgiving all existing overdue fines, effective immediately. During the November meeting, the Scarsdale Public Library Board unanimously approved the new policy because fines can be a barrier to those seeking literary and community resources. By eliminating fines, the Board aims to further encourage the Scarsdale community to enjoy the library's extensive collections and visit its recently renovated building.
The American Library Association recommends the elimination of overdue fines to reduce economic barriers to borrowing library materials and increase library usage. Libraries across the country have already gone fine free, including the nation's largest library system, the New York Public Library, as well several neighboring libraries in the Westchester Library System, including the White Plains Public Library, Greenburgh Public Library, and Eastchester Public Library.
"The collection of fines makes up less than 1% of the library's budget but can have a hugely negative impact on the use of the library's resources by all," stated Felicia Block, President of the Library Board of Trustees. "The library can offset the loss of this income through other revenue streams, such as space rentals, allowing us to focus on our primary mission, to encourage and foster the lifelong joy of reading in Scarsdale. It is the right time to eliminate existing and future fines to best support that goal."
"The recent renovation of the Scarsdale Library was not just about a new building. It was about creating a welcoming modern community institution that adapts with the times." Library Director Elizabeth Bermel stated. "That includes eliminating outdated practices that can discourage access to the library for those who can't afford fines or are embarrassed to be deemed delinquent. All are welcome to enjoy the library!"
The new policy will be in effect immediately and follows the practice established by Scarsdale and many community libraries during the pandemic, as many libraries were closed to the public and/or had limited hours from March 2020 through mid-2021. Patrons will continue to be responsible for lost or damaged materials.
Designing Your Holiday Table
Written by David Cipperman
There's more to Thanksgiving than the turkey. Don't forget to plan ahead for a festive table. Architect and designer David Cipperman has some wonderful tips about how you can set a beautiful table by combining many items you may already have with seasonal fruit, gourds, foliage and candles for a colorful tableau. Now's the time to pull out the family heirlooms and mix and match them to create a unique look.
You can do the work in advance so that you can concentrate on the food before the big day.
Here are some tips on assembling your holiday table:
1) Take stock of what you have. Take out colorful tablecloths, napkings and pull from different collections of silverware, plates and glasses. Incorporate family heirlooms or items that trigger treasured memories. This will add to the uniqueness of your table and will start a conversation that shares the love and joy these memories recall.
2) Take the holiday decor beyond the tabletop and add a dramatic arrangement of seasonal branches and foliage in front of a primary window or on a sideboard. This will go a long way to extend a warm festive atmosphere. Build your arrangement with cuttings from your own yard and find dried flowers and at Michaels. Buy gourds, pumpkins and pomegranates to decorate the table.
3) Approach the setting of your table as a fun design challenge. Gradually create your table setting by layering each component; from the table linens to the last seasonal leaf or gourd. This will give you a chance to evaluate the progress and effect of your choices.
4) Mix and match plates from different sets.
5) Top each setting with a colorful cloth napkin and a napkin ring.
6) Pull out your candles: tapes, votives and scented for a holiday glow.

Have fun and send photos of your holiday table to scarsdalecomments@gmail.com.
Take stock of what you already have.
Use a coloful tablecloth, placemats and napkin rings.
Mix and match plates from different sets. Scatter the table with pottery, pumpkins, gourds and fruit.
Top each setting with a napkin wrapped in a ring.
Yalin Chi Piano Recital at St. James the Less Episcopal Church on November 14
Juilliard and Yale graduate Yalin Chi presents works by Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev, along with a solo piano version of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
Originally from Beijing, China, Yalin Chi made her début with the Central Opera Orchestra before moving to the United States to study at Interlochen Arts Academy. Yalin has performed at venues including Alice Tully Hall, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Kumho Art Hall in Seoul, Korea, and ZhongShan Music Hall in Beijing China. Her solo recital last year was selected by the Poughkeepsie Journal as one of the weekend top picks, and Leslie Gerber of the Woodstock Times described her recent recital in the Saugerties Pro Musica concert series as "flowing and masterful," with "gorgeous tonal coloring."
Yalin has worked with musicians around the world, including principal trombonist of the New York Philharmonic Joseph Alessi, principal trumpet of the London Symphony Orchestra Philip Cobb, clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein, and concertmaster of the Seoul Symphony Orchestra Wayne Lin. As an orchestral musician, she regularly performs with Albany Symphony, New Jersey Festival Orchestra, and has held the principal keyboard position at the Hudson Valley Philharmonic since 2014.
Yalin studied with Seymour Lipkin and Jerome Lowenthal at the Juilliard School where she earned both undergraduate and Master of Music degrees, and continued studies with Peter Frankl at Yale School of Music before joining the West Point Band in 2008.
The Church of St. James the Less offers concerts to the greater Westchester area. To make them accessible to everyone, a simple donation of $20 is requested. This is the first event of the season – a great way to celebrate a return to live performances.

After over 20 years of being in this business, we are still proud of the work we're doing to keep this classic motorhome on the road! This sweet piece of history is still a very smart and viable option to spending big dollars for what today's RV community offers.
However, now the Co-op is taking in projects bringing other vintage RV's back to the road, take a "scroll" down some other projects we have tackled here at the Co-op!
We have have worked with several vintage Airstream products bringing them back to their previous glory!
We actually purchased one of these 20′ coaches they were so interesting.
This is a 1973 Travco we renovated, a very interesting classic.
The classic Revcon has a devoted following eager to have their awesome vintage machine working well. We have done mechanical as well as cosmetic updates on these coaches!
Proof positive, we will work on just about anything! This coach was featured in the "Rock my RV" show on the Travel Channel. A Dodge chassis, still it has classic lines and is a survivor of a day gone by.
But the ultimate question we have for you is… What do YOU have that you want to put back on the road?

The subject of government and the arts has been a major point of political controversy in the 1990s. This book gives perspective to this debate by tracing the full history of the topic in all the times and circumstances when it arose in U.S. history. This is the only book that studies the history of the debate over the concept, looking at the arguments over initiatives which gained government support as well as over those which did not.


Starting off ripe and fresh, with notes of apricot, pineapple and litchi, hidden aromas of banana, butter, caramel, and zippy citrus, quince and lime then come to the fore. Very well poised, perfectly integrated oaking with balanced ripeness and minerality zing off each other. Melt in the mouth acidity has great staying power and adds a well crafted focus and length.

Suffering from depression for approximately two years, after having cut myself off from the world, feeling like there's nothing to live for, I realised that I had to do something to get myself out of this.
I needed to help myself; I couldn't bare feeling so down and hopeless. So I thought I'd try to make some jewellery. I've always loved jewellery and making it meant I'd be doing something nice, whilst helping myself at the same time.
I was making it just for myself, not to show anyone. Just to make something pretty, and get myself off the safe haven that was the sofa and out from under my blanket! I didn't think I was any good, but I enjoyed making pieces and it was a way of distracting me from all the bad thoughts that were swirling around in my head.
I have to admit that sometimes it was a struggle, that it definitely took some hard work, but it was so worth it. Once I got over that hurdle and started making, I really got absorbed by it. Even on those days that I was really low and I didn't make it off the sofa, I still made some jewellery, or I did some sewing- just something to try to distract myself for a little while, something to take the edge off how I felt.
I made pretty jewellery for myself, but my friends and family encouraged me to show people- so I put an image of a few pieces on Facebook and things just developed from there. The support and kindness people were showing me was wonderful. It really lifted my spirits, and made me feel so much better about myself.
Gradually I put more pieces on Facebook and people wanted to buy it, and they even asked me to make custom orders. To make sure I got out of the house, I also went to markets where I sold my jewellery and I met some lovely people- it just made me feel worthwhile.
I was one of those people who believed they were worthless, that couldn't achieve anything, but now just after making a few bits of jewellery to distract myself from the torment of my depression I have my own business making and selling jewellery.
I set up Vintage Princess Jewellery three years after being diagnosed with the illness. Since then my little jewellery business has just grown and grown. I now have a website, www.vintageprincessjewellery.co.uk, and I have my own shop in the centre of Durham. I've even been nominated for a Retail Award! Everything isn't always all plain sailing, but I just work through it. Just doing that little bit of crafting has changed my life.
Vintage Princess Jewellery is a world of prettiness and girlyness. My shop has been described as a 'haven of gorgeousness', and every parcel I send out from my website is full of glitter and Vintage Princess sparkle! Just a little something to brighten people's days. I make jewellery that is limited edition or one of a kind, through reworking broken, unused and unwanted jewellery with new materials. I want my jewellery to be extra special and unique, just like those who wear it.
I'm also using my business to support Samaritans. They helped me when I was at my lowest, and now I'm on the road to recovery I want to give something back. So far I'm selling bracelets where all the proceeds go to the charity, I have made Limited Edition Sterling Silver and Amazonite necklaces and bracelets which are sold in aid of Samaritans, and I've also held charity events to raise as much money as I can to enable them to continue their lifesaving work.

Q: Calling Mastodon API in R Studio Please can someone help me figure out what is going on? I used the mastodon library in R Studio to extract some data from the fediverse successfully a while ago. Here is the code I used:
tokens <- login("https://mastodon.social/",user = user,pass = password)

"user" is my email address.
It worked well initially, but trying it again, I am getting this annoying error message, which I do not understand:
Error in UseMethod("content", x) :

Please can any good samaritan out there who has used this library in R Studio help me figure out what is going on? I need to prepare a report on this project. Thanks in advance of your help.

A: It is possible that some functions may have masked the function.  By calling this on a fresh R session, it did work

Sustainability is a matter near and dear to my heart, so I always like hearing about brewers thinking about the future. Colorado-based New Belgium Brewing has always had a reputation for being one of the greenest breweries, so the fact that they produced the first organic beer I've ever tried is not surprising. Their first USDA certified organic beer is a Witbier named Mothersip Wit.
This is also my first time reviewing a Witbier on PintLog, so let me take a minute to explain the style. Witbier, or White Beer, is a Belgian style wheat beer usually spiced with coriander, orange peel, and various other spices. Also usually slightly sour, due to the presence of lactic acid. They are very pale in color and hazy in appearance (due to being unfiltered). Known for their refreshing qualities, these are a summertime favorite.
According to the brewer, Mothership is brewed with "wheat and barley malt, as well as coriander and orange peel spicing resulting in a balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation." That sounds just about perfect for the style, so this should be a good starting point.
Appearance: Hazy and amazingly pale lemon-drop yellow body. This almost looks like lemonade as it pours out of the bottle. Nice finger and a half of white head that recedes quickly and leaves decent lacing. Great presentation.
Aroma: Intense. Tangy wheat, lemony citrus, and lots of spicy coriander and cloves. With the lemon, wheat, and spices this almost reminds me of a lemon meringue pie in a weird (and good) way.
Taste: Zesty lemon, coriander, and cloves still dominate over a wheat/pale malt base. Thin even for this style, I'd like to see just a little more intensity in the backbone. Not particularly bitter or sweet, Mothership is pleasantly mellow.
Mouthfeel: As you'd imagine as you watch it pour, this is very much light-bodied. Good carbonation and a clean finish.
Drinkability: Suburb drinkability, would quench nicely on a hot Summer day.
Verdict: Although a little thin, Mothership Wit is so smooth, drinkable, and very mellow that it works. With a nice mesh of flavors and brilliant quenching potential, Mothership is another solid New Belgium brew. The fact that it's organic is just icing on the cake.
This sounds like a wonderful beer that I would love, but it just wasn't. Maybe I'll try it again.

Nationalism: Modest reforms fail to curb Kurdish offensive
By Delphine Strauss
Mourners chanted "Martyrs do not die, our country is not split", when they gathered at Ankara's main mosque this month for the funeral of a baby-faced 21-year-old killed by Kurdish rebels. Old women dabbed their eyes, while young men, draped in Turkish flags, shouted army songs and nationalist slogans.
It is a year since Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, promised reforms to broaden Kurdish rights, aimed at ending the bitter 26-year struggle with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
The hope was that measures to ease restrictions on the Kurdish language and make law enforcement less punitive – for example, by ending long prison sentences for stone-throwing children – would ease grievances in the south-east, remove pretexts for violence, and prepare the ground for an amnesty.
But with only modest steps taken, the so-called "democratic initiative" – sincere but mishandled – has all but ended. Instead, the PKK is showing it remains a force to be reckoned with.
Since the snows began melting in its mountain hide-outs across the Iraqi border, it has mounted one of its deadliest offensives in years, killing more than 50 of Turkey's armed forces by raids, rocket attacks and mines. Some attacks recalled tactics from the worst period of conflict in the 1990s.
"There is a real escalation," says Gareth Jenkins, an Istanbul-based analyst specialising in security issues, who says the violence probably matched the worst fighting since 2004, when the PKK ended a ceasefire.
But the impact of each death on public opinion in the west of the country is greater than in the past, he says.
In the 1990s, news reports of much more vicious fighting were censored, whereas now, television broadcasts after each attack show soldiers patrolling the mountains, grieving families and mass funerals.
That is why the resurgence in violence may carry a heavy cost for Mr Erdogan's ruling AK Party.
Its inability to carry through reforms was in large part due to opposition parties' refusal to support the initiative – and Kurdish politicians' insistence that the jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, reviled by Turks, should be an interlocutor.
But it is the AKP, which in the past drew support from both Kurds and socially conservative right-wingers, that now risks losing votes from both groups.
There has always been a strong streak of nationalism in politics, but it has been inflamed in the past year by the AKP's attempts to tackle taboos such as the Kurdish issue, or rapprochement with Armenia.
A public backlash forced Mr Erdogan to backtrack on both initiatives, but some nationalists are directing anger towards the government. In April, Taner Yildiz, energy minister, was punched in the face at the funeral of a soldier killed in the south-east, by a man shouting "this is the fist of the Turkish nation".
A week earlier Ahmet Turk, a leading Kurdish politician, had received the same treatment.
Few think progress in ending Turkey's ethnic divisions will be possible before the elections, due next summer at the latest.
"It is clear the fight against the PKK will be a prominent feature of the electoral campaign, so it would be foolish to expect a bipartisan consensus on policy," comments Atilla Yesilada, analyst for Global Source, a US consultancy.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, newly elected leader of the opposition CHP, comes from the predominantly Kurdish and Alevi province of Tunceli, but he has so far stuck to his party's traditional view that problems in the south-east are economic, not cultural.
And Mr Erdogan, who last year gave tear-jerking speeches calling for brotherhood and cultural co-existence, is opting for more blood-curdling language, saying PKK rebels will "drown in their own blood".
But since he has limited scope to act on Kurdish reforms, and little means of ending PKK attacks, he may be tempted to appeal to nationalist voters by taking a tougher stance on other topics – in particular, foreign policy.
The angst felt over the Kurdish issue feeds on a pervasive belief that outside powers are scheming to split the country. When the PKK attacked a naval base on Turkey's Mediterranean coast on the same day Israeli commandos killed Turkish activists on the aid convoy to Gaza, many Turks linked the two.
So when Mr Erdogan asserts Turkey's independence on the world stage – whether by vilifying the Israeli government, or defying Washington with a vote against fresh Iranian sanctions – he is aiming as much to soothe the crowds of mourners at home as to influence international opinion.

"I should definitely gamify my event!" You've probably had this thought if you've read a lot of articles about the benefits of gamification. What else if not gamification can help you increase attendee engagement and provide an enjoyable event experience?
After all, the majority of good event software and apps include gamification as a main module in their service offer; therefore, you have to try it. Not so fast.
Let's take a step back and check if gamification is really necessary for your next event. According to Sebastian Deterding of the University of York Digital Creativity Labs, "Gameful design or gamification refers to the design of hardware and software in non-game contexts using." In other words, gamification refers to the use of game mechanics and elements in serious contexts such as educational and work environments, marketing, etc.
One of the biggest promises of gamification, as Brian Burke highlights, is that it "creates entirely new engagement models, targeting new communities of people and motivating them to achieve goals they may not even know they have." Burke notes that one can engage and motivate people across all kinds of activities by using game mechanics and elements (such as badges, points, levels, and leaderboards).
However, as Elizabeth Lawley, Ph.D., of the Rochester Institute of Technology, explains, "Games can be powerful experiences, leveraging both motivation and engagement. The recent trend toward 'gamifying' applications, however, often reduces the complexity of a well-designed and balanced game to its simplest components, such as badges, levels, points, and leaderboards. The resulting implementations don't just fail to engage players; they can actually damage existing interest or engagement with the service or product."
Considering this, gamification may not always be your best option. To understand better this assertion, here are some of the reasons against gamifying events to take into account before overwhelming your attendees with badges, levels, or points.
No matter how much data you've acquired about your guests, you can't be 100% sure how they will react when dealing with a gamified system or environment. Not everybody enjoys games, so why force people to participate in them? In addition, not all events are easy (or appropriate) to gamify. People may come to your event to engage in serious B2B meetings, for example, and want to focus on finding new prospects or benefits for their businesses. They don't want to 'complete levels' or 'gain points' for how they behave.
No doubt, it's trendy to gamify events. Yet, you shouldn't use gamification just for the sake of using it. It has to solve a problem or help improve some aspect of your event. It's the same thing with event technology. You don't apply it only because other event planners are doing it - you use it to outsource your logistic problems, automatize processes, and save time. In other words, the big question is why, precisely, do you want to gamify your event? If you can't think of a valid reason related to improving your events, then you probably shouldn't use it.
As Dr. Lawley notes, "It's not that gamification can't work. But to be successful, it must include game design, not just game components. Games are not a replacement for thoughtful experience and interaction design; they are an alternate lens for framing that process." So think about that app you're using to gamify your event. Is this platform providing you with a real gamified context or just giving your attendees points for accomplishing some tasks, which not only portrays gamification in a poor light, but could also create a competitive (and potentially hostile) vibe between your guests? Is your intention to generate this type of experience?
Your attendees already have enough distractions at their fingertips, scrolling through the newsfeeds on their phones, checking their social media, their attention always somewhere else than on the speakers or presentations. Do you want to add to that by "engaging" your guests via gamification? Sometimes you need to help your attendees focus their senses and be present in the room, not wandering around in the digital space.
Reason #5. Gamification can't fix disengagement or boredom.
If your number one reason to gamify your event is to engage your attendees, forget about it. This won't happen, especially if you don't already have an efficient, interactive environment. Gamified apps aren't designed to encourage your guests to engage more or alleviate boredom. You are responsible for engaging your guests, so only use gamification to enhance the interaction experience.
Contrary to popular belief, gamification is not a solve-it-all option. So instead of mindlessly gamifying your event, thinking you've found a panacea for your troubles, focus on leveraging the real potential of this tool. Gamification provides powerful mechanics, elements, and environments. However, if you don't know how, why, and when to use it, you may inadvertently damage your event and give your attendees a negative experience.

Running to State: Track and Field Preview
Jordan Turner, Staff Writer
It's that time of year again: track and field season. The Dougherty Valley track and field athletes are lacing up their spikes and getting ready for yet another great season. The Wildcats have spent the last couple of months conditioning and weight lifting to better prepare for this upcoming season.
Last season, the Wildcats beat Dublin in the dual meet they had against the Gaels. The Wildcats had quite a few runners make it to NCS last season. James Spencer, Michelle Thompson, and Neil Braganza all got to run last year competed in the Meet of Champions.
Coach Chamberlain says, "I am most looking forward to the improvement of the team overall and the individual athletes. I'm excited to watch the kids compete and improve."
Coach Chamberlain also informed us of the team's biggest strengths. He mentioned that, "The kids on the team get really close and they can become really good friends. Another strength is the amount of work that everyone is willing to put in."
Lastly, Coach Chamberlain said to keep an eye out for sprinters Kristen Glavee, and James Spencer and Katie O Malley. Also, watch out for hurdler Michelle Thompson, and distance runners Helen Guo and Neal Braganza."
Senior James Spencer, who holds the school record time for the 200 meter dash, the 400 meter dash and the 4×400, is most looking forward to making state.
He said, "Making state has always been my dream and it can be a reality this year."
According to Spencer, Miramonte will probably be the toughest opponent this season because they have a solid lineup with some great runners.
Senior Anna Marie Nimene, who competes in the shot put and discus field events, says that she's excited to see herself and her teammates improve this season. She says that she is most looking forward to supporting her teammates and having fun this season.
The Wildcats have their first meet coming up on Saturday, February 28th. It is called the Super 7 Invite. It will be held at De La Salle High School, so be sure to support your fellow WIldcats.
