BY ERIC JANKIEWICZ @ericjankiewicz [email protected] These are some business–savvy kids. A new business school,co-located in Martin Van Buren H.S., held a grand opening on Oct. 3, boasting a cadre of freshman students interested in coding and software design. “What I learn here, I’ll take with me for the rest of my life,” Aamir Akhtar said. Akhtar is one of the new Business Technology high school students, and he said that he’s more interested in the technology side of the school. “I want to look at coding design software,” he said. Classes for the new school began this school year, and Akhtar’s favorite class is his Business and Entrepreneur class. The school is designed to tailor general education classes like literature to the needs of technology and business careers, according to Queensborough College President Diane Call. Queensborough partnered with the new school to offer the B-Tech students associate degrees, for free, in internet technology and computer information systems, along with other degrees. “This is not chalk and talk. This is active engagement,” Call said. “We want to make sure that what they’re learning is exciting.” Obituary Nicholas Nubile: A businessman with a heart BY THE QUEENS COURIER STAFF Nicholas Nubile, founder of Audax Construction Corp. in Long Island, passed away on Sept. 30 at the age of 78 while undergoing heart surgery at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn. Funeral mass was held on Oct. 4 at St. Luke’s Church in Whitestone. Nubile’s daughter Maryann remembers him as a family man above everything else. He was the happiest when all his family members were with him, she said. Nubile came to the U.S. from Italy in 1952 at the age of 16. He served in the Army and later started working in the construction fi eld. In 1980, he started his own construction fi rm, called Audax. “He believed in the American dream, lived the American dream,” said Maryann. Eight years ago, he fulfi lled a longtime dream of opening a restaurant when he started the Italian eatery Piccolo Fiore in Manhattan. In the past few years, he suffered from several health issues, yet he attended family events such as graduations and sporting events featuring his grandchildren. He and his wife Maria celebrated 55 years of wedded bliss on Sept. 5. Nubile was also involved in various charities such as Knights of Columbus and Life’s WORC. Causes involving children were particularly close to his heart, said Maryann. Nubile is survived by his wife Maria, daughters Maryann, Bernadette and Danielle, and 13 grandchildren.
