THE

POSTRelay for the Life of Pelham Hopes to End Cancer

BY TONY SHEA

The American Cancer Society sponsored the Relay for the Life of Pel-ham at Glover Field on June 4, 2016.

Hope was the message of the day as many arrived to show their support and celebrate not only the survivors, but also those who still continue to struggle against the disease of cancer.

Chances are you know someone who has cancer. If not, then you certain-ly will in your lifetime. Approximately 15 million people in the United Sates are living with cancer now. According to the Centers for Disease Control, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States behind heart disease.

The event began at 6pm on a warm and sunny evening and was scheduled to go until 6am the following morning. Why the unusual hours you might ask? The answer is that the length of the event, extending overnight, is meant to

symbolize a cancer patient’s journey, the light and dark and hopefully the light again, as a patient suffers through the physical effects of the disease (and its treatment), and the emotional ups and downs that occasion a cancer diagnosis. Because cancer does not stop, neither do the relay participants as they make their way around the track, lap after lap.

The relay movement for cancer fundraising is now more than thirty years old and began when Dr. Gordy Klatt ran and walked around a track for 24 straight hours. Friends and support-ers paid to run or walk with him and in one day he was able to raise $27,000. And today the relay movement continues with more than 4,000 such events na-tionwide every year.

The program at Glover Field kicked off as Chris Meindl, the Bring the Fun Lead for the 2016 Pelham Relay for Life Event Leadership Team, and Julianne Hayes, the Event Lead, got things started,

addressing the crowd. “Let’s never forget why

we are here. Our survivors and those no longer with us are the reason we need to finish the fight against cancer,” said Meindl.

Next the pair asked those assembled to raise their hands in response to a series of statements and questions about how they might have been helped by the American Cancer Society. These includ-ed relatively soft admissions if people had used the society’s toll free hotline at 1-800-227-2345, to more personal ones if they had received a PSA test for prostate cancer, a mam-mogram, a pap test, or had a colonoscopy. Now normally you might be embarrassed or

Teamwork and Community Pride Help to Create Pelham Civics Association Float for Memorial Day Parade

Ken Shirreffs, President of the Pelham Civics explains: “Every year The Civics proudly march in the Memorial Day Parade. With Pelham Civic member Joe Hall as Chairman of our Memorial Day Committee, we also sponsor a breakfast and lunch for our military personnel in the Town House, distribute customized dog tags (thanks to Bill Taubner and Ball Chain Manufacturing), and this year, as a last minute idea, we built a float! Mike Hade of Westchester Collision & Recovery lent us one of his flat bed trucks. On Saturday, a handful of Pelham Civic members built support-ing railings around the open truck so the band - Stellar Wolfs by Jason Jefferies - can safely play as they travelled down the parade’s route. ASK Con-tracting Corp. sponsored all the materials, ban-ners and bunting. It was a real group effort! The community loved it!”

Over at Colonial School recently, Principal Tonya Wilson and Di-rector of Mathematics and Science Dr. Tom Callahan worked together to coordinate a “coding at Colonial” night for students, teachers, and parents.

Rain Doesn’t Dampen Memorable Memorial DayBY TONY SHEA

Rainy weather failed to dampen the Memorial Day spirit in Pelham this year. While neighboring towns like Bronxville and Ossining were forced to cancel their planned celebrations because of inclem-ent weather, everything was a go in Pelham on what was to become a memorable Memori-al Day.

Parade participants and spectators arrived in mass to express their patriotism and heartfelt appreciation for those who have served so valiantly in the armed forces. As Pelham resident John Chianese said, “The parade is a great way to instill civic pride in our chil-dren—recognizing the brave men and women who have giv-en their lives on behalf of our country.”

The day began as the sun peaked through the clouds, drying roads soaked by the previous evening’s rains. A colorful array of parade par-ticipants congregated near the Manor Club on the Esplanade. Police and firemen in their formal dress best adjusted their white gloves. Boy scouts in matching khaki shirts and brownies in matching vests

assembled with their ban-ners and flags. Veterans of the American Legion in sports coats and side caps laughed and reminisced. Sailors and soldiers, members of the navy and marines, in their dress whites and dress blues assem-bled into formation.

When the the parade be-gan at 11:30am, the air was filled with a stirring wave of sound from the Pelham Memorial High School Marching Band and the Pelham Civic Associa-tion band, not to mention the bagpipers from both the Local 3 Electricians Union and the Police Emerald Society of West-chester, played for the crowd of spectators who lined the roads, cheering, applauding and wav-ing flags.

The parade’s two-mile long route wound onto Wolf’s Lane (Fifth Ave) before arriving at Pelham Veteran’s Park next to Town Hall. There, Joe Durnin, Sr. Past Commander of Amer-ican Legion Post 50, presided over the tribute to Pelham’s and America’s fallen heroes before a crowd of hundreds who had gathered to show their support. As he said during his opening remarks, “To all who serve this

country, in whatever fashion, especially you marines and sail-ors standing with us today, I say God bless and protect you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. “

After an invocation from Chaplain Fran Barbieri, the crowd joined in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Col. Mi-chael T. Milkos was the keynote speaker. Milko spent 35 years in the military earning a number of awards including the Bronze Star and the Meritorious Ser-vice Medal before going on to a private sector career as the Director of Strategic Projects for Janssen Pharmaceuticals. Past Commander James Mor-ris read aloud the names of Pel-ham’s war dead.

The Grand Marshall of this year’s parade was Vita “Ace” Pisano. Pisano has been a resident of Pelham for 68 years and is a decorated vet-eran of World War II who was at the legendary Battle of Iwo Jima. Among the other digni-taries on hand were Congress-man Eliot Engel, State Senator Jeffrey D. Klein, Pelham Man-or Mayor Jennifer Monachino Lapey, and Pelham Mayor Mi-chael J. Volpe.

Marshall Award Recipient Announced, Pelham Civics Half Marathon Plans Underway, and More Good Deeds

BY YASMIN JORGE The Town of Pelham held its

Board meeting on Monday, June 6th, at the Daronco Town House (20 Fifth Avenue).

Highlights revolved around vol-unteerism and community programs and events benefiting our residents and local business.

The Pelham Recreation Com-mittee selected John Mirra as the 2016 recipient of the John Marshall Award. Mr. Mirra was honored for his 18 years of service to Troop 1 Pelham Boy Scouts, which also just celebrated its 100 Year Anniversary! A loyal and tireless leader, Mr. Mir-ra teaches the scouts outdoor skills during trips that include scuba div-ing and camping; and oversees activ-ities that help towns, churches, and other groups in need. He is known to work with the boys even during the summer.

“I’m America’s oldest living teenager. It’s an honor to receive this Award. It’s an honor to lead this Troop,” said Mr. Mirra humbly.

The John Marshall Award is named for Dr. John Marshall, a re-nowned physician of sports medi-cine, and orthopedic specialist to the U.S. Olympic Ski Team. He was an active, generous, and beloved mem-ber of Pelham. The Award is present-ed to a non-paid, non-staff, outstand-ing volunteer each year.

Plans are currently underway to promote the upcoming Half Mar-athon for the Pelham Civics. In ad-dition to locals, participants come from Queens and Manhattan, and has grown to 200+ runners annually. The race date is scheduled for Sat-urday morning, November 26th, to coincide with Small Business Friday. Half Marathon organizers will dis-cuss the logistics with both Pelham

and Pelham Manor Po-lice, and seek to utilize the Gazebo and Town facilities to assist run-ners. The path is being determined, but will stretch from Chester Heights to Shore Park.

Prior to the paper going to print, Super-visor Peter DiPaola announced the Pelican Pop Concert slated for Saturday, June 11th at the Gazebo. DiPaola said,“We are very hope-ful that turnout will be good, and the event goes well and is order-ly.”

PACT has hired a new Coalition Director who will be formally announced to the pub-lic soon. The PACT Action Committee con-

tinues to seek good activities for our youth, especially as school gets out for the summer. (www.pelhampact.org)

The 9/11 Committee is meet-ing on June 17th to further discuss our 15th Year Celebration of 9/11. The Committee is working with the Council of Churches, and police and fire departments.

The Pelham Public Library has received grant money for lighting.

ashamed to reveal this information in front of others, but a crucial part of what the American Cancer Society does is to provide a safe environment where sur-vivors of cancer can be honest with each other in order to share their experiences and hope.

As Dr. Henry Lee of Radiation On-cology at New York-Presbyterian/Law-rence Hospital and Assistant Professor at Columbia University Medical Center told me, “It’s all about the journey on the day of diagnosis, the journey of survivorship.”

Dr. Lee said he doesn’t have his pa-tients refer to him as “Doctor,” instead preferring that they call him by his first name, in order to create a more human-istic environment which can sometimes be lacking in a hospital or treatment cen-ter setting. “The future of cancer therapy is understanding that the patient’s own body is the most powerful weapon in the fight,” he said.

Pelham Town Supervisor Peter Di-Paola, NYS Assemblywoman Amy Pau-lin, County Legislator Jim Maisano, and Joe Solimine, Sr. were also on hand and addressed the crowd, before Hayes and Meindl then concluded the first portion of the program.

“As we walk these next twelve

hours, let the hope provided by these cancer survivors guide us. Let us cele-brate their lives and the lives of so many that have been saved from cancer,” said Hayes.

“Hope is a wonderful thing, some-thing to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return. Never lose hope!” said Meindl.

As the Relay participants took their places along the track, anthems of sur-vival played over the P.A. system, includ-ing “We are the Champions” by Queen, and “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten.

As the survivors, dressed in match-ing purple shirts, began their march, the sky began to darken with dark clouds and rain began to fall, but it did not dampen their spirits. The remaining participants joined in, a series of tribu-taries coming together to make a flowing river of hope.

This year’s event consisted of 24 teams and 200 participants who have raised over $34,000 to date.

The Art of Problem Solving – Perennial Math in Elementary School

BY YASMIN JORGE

From 3rd through 5th grades, Perennial Math is the math for bud-ding math wizards across Pelham’s four elementary schools. The pro-gram consists of instruction (in-cluding new content and strategies) and tests for students who elect to enhance their math ability in groups outside of regular class lessons. They strive to achieve excellence through worldwide problem-solving competi-tions, joining additional brainy peers throughout the US, Canada, the UK, and Turkey. These kids will some-times even miss recess to learn and compete!

Perennial Math is not for the faint of heart as it truly challenges young mathematicians with complex word problems that otherwise leave parents stupefied. Each year, hun-dreds of program participants are giv-en monthly tests where they must in-dependently solve six rigorous math questions using multi-step strategies of their choice. Students take exams for their level, Grades 3 and 4 Rookie tests and Grade 5 Intermediate tests, respectively.

Beth Finkelstein, K-5 Math Staff Developer, administered a total of four tests in Pelham this season, thus the highest score attainable is a perfect “24.” Awards for individual students are presented at Town Hall meetings at the elementary schools

from May through June.“It is exciting to present a chal-

lenging problem to the students and hear them say... ‘This reminds me of the ___ problem,’ and then see the kids start to create charts, models and calculations to begin to find a solution. My favorite part is having the students share their thinking and see the different ways their peers ap-proach a problem,” said Finkelstein.

Pelham chose to participate in Perennial Math to give students who enjoy problem solving another opportunity to work on challenging problems and to be persistent in their

mathematical think-ing. Many students like the competition involved, learning new strategies and setting goals for improvement each month. In the Pelham School District there are currently 220 3rd through 5th grad-ers participating in the program.

All 220 Pelham el-ementary students are commended for their persistence and hard work solving the com-plex math problems, and received certifi-cates of participation. From the 220 Pelham

pupil attendees (combined 12,919 3rd through 5th Rookie and Intermediate participants worldwide) some earned medals.

Top Team Scorer from Colonial School (22/24), Benjamin Wolf Gor-ski was presented with the well-de-served Perennial Math Champion medal on May 25th. When asked how he prepared for Perennial Math, the numbers-inclined Gorski said that he practices, “Lots of IXL and tries types of advanced math taught in higher grades, even during the summer.”

For Gorski, as with his fellow gifted young arithmeticians, the pro-gram was hard the first year. He did

not place for a medal, but nor did he give up. However, the second time around, his math comprehension and problem-solving skills greatly improved. “My brain learned to think that way mathematically,” he revealed.

Perennial Math was created by Dr. Sylvia Dean, a specialist and administrator from Huntsville, Ala-bama, the Rocket City (and home of NASA, Space Camp, Redstone Arse-nal, and many space, defense, and technological companies). Dr. Dean has received many awards for her in-volvement and coordination of math, robotics, and technology competi-tions.

Several months ago, Assemblywom-an Amy Paulin an-nounced a contest en-titled, “There Ought To Be A Law.” Middle school students were asked to identify a problem impacting New Yorkers and sug-gest a law that would rectify the issue. Seventy-two students submitted proposals for legisla-tion.

As previously announced, two of the four winners were from Pelham Middle School. Sarah Jane O’Connor, an eighth-grader, was awarded first place for proposing that the State mandate insurance coverage for basic hearing aids. Paulin will draft a bill to mandate insurance coverage of hearing aids in response to O’Connor’s proposal.

James Nespole, also an eighth grader, was awarded third place for his proposal regarding the creation of a Good Samaritan Law, which would protect people who take action saving children left unattended in a hot car.

Connor (as seen above) visited Paulin in Albany, along with Dr. Rob Roelle, PMS Principal; Dr. Peter Giarrizzo, Superintendent; and Maria Thompson, Director of Humanities, where she was presented with a cita-tion and made an appearance on the Assembly floor.

Winners of “There Ought to be a Law” Contest

During the re-cent 2016 Pelham Senior Awards Cer-emony, $16,000 in community awards from the Pelham Civic Association were distributed to worthy recipients.

Michael Ming, Chairman of the Pelham Civic Asso-ciation’s Communi-ty Awards Commit-tee said, “The Civics are extremely proud to acknowledge - and reward - so many remarkable students who have demonstrated the ideals and virtues of selfless, volunteer work…strong character…with compassion and care.”

Ken Shirreffs, President of the Civics, continued, “We are incredibly encouraged that these young men and women will continue to be absolute contributions to our society. We are proud to do our small part in support-ing them.” Photo by Todd Cross

Parents Urged to Take Active Role in Teen Safety this Spring and Summer

We, the Police Chiefs of Pelham and Pelham Manor, wish to call ev-eryone’s attention to the increase in underage drinking and substance abuse during the spring and summer months. Nice weather, prom, gradu-ation, and the end of school are won-derful—but they also give our kids the opportunity to take part in risky behaviors. We urge all families to talk to their children and give them advice on the dangers and legal ramifications of underage drinking, the importance of making good decisions, and staying safe during this party season.

MESSAGES FOR PARENTS OF PEL-HAM TEENS:

During the month of June alone, 11,600 teens each day will try their first drink of alcohol (Bradford Health Services, 2016). Take time to discuss the serious consequences of underage drinking, illegal substance use, DWI, and vandalism with your teenagers. Make time to listen and answer their questions. Here are some suggestions for issues to discuss with your family.

• Remind youth that law en-forcement will step up their efforts with increased patrolling and stricter application of the law to offenders. Underage drinking, substance abuse, DWI, and vandalism are serious crimes and the law will be enforced.

• Discuss the serious conse-quences that an arrest may have on

your teen, such as severe legal pen-alties, denial of future college accep-tance, or even college acceptances being rescinded.

• With texting and social media, small gatherings can quickly get out of hand, either by design or by accident. Remind your teenagers of this fact and that, despite plans to “just have a few people over,” the party giver may be subject to arrest. Also, please remember that when a few police officers are attempting to manage a large, sometimes unwieldy, crowd, it is difficult to tell who is drinking and who is not.

• Remind your teenagers that New York State recently passed the Good Samaritan 911 Law to ensure that people who call 911 in a timely manner won’t be prosecuted when someone they are with is experienc-ing an overdose. It states, “A person, who, in good faith seeks health care for someone who is experiencing a drug or alcohol overdose or other life-threatening medical emergency shall not be charged or prosecuted for a controlled substance offense.”

Parents are also reminded that hosting underage drinking parties isn’t just illegal for the teens involved, but also for the adults in the home, even if they didn’t supply the alcohol. Under Westchester County’s social host law, parents who host are subject

to criminal and civic liability. If you will be away, tell your neighbors or inform the police and ask them to keep an eye on the house. A large party could be planned, or one can develop spontaneously.

While alcohol is the main substance abused by Pelham teens, it’s important to dis-cuss the dangers of marijuana with your kids, too. Marijuana interferes with development of the adolescent brain and remains illegal for recreation-al use in New York State, but its legalization in a handful of states has led to a perception among teens that it carries less risk.

One more important matter: the safety of our young people.

Our villages are general-ly very safe. However, we have five major thoroughfares—Shore Road, Boston Post Road, Colonial Avenue, Boulevard, and Lincoln Avenue as well as the Hutch and I-95—that pass through our community. Indi-viduals and small groups walk-

ing around late at night are tempting targets for those who may be passing through, and incidents do occasionally oc-cur in each village. Please talk with your teenagers about the dangers of walking alone or in small groups late at night. We strongly urge parents to pick up their teens and offer their friends a ride home.

Spring and summer are a happy and busy time. Let’s also make them safe and sub-stance-free seasons for our youth.

County Harvest, Inc. Organizes Multiple Food Drives to Stock Westchester Food Pantries for Summer

This spring, County Harvest, Inc. organized food drives with Huguenot Nursery School, Prospect Hill Elementary School, Siwanoy Elementary School, Hackley School and School of the Holy Child to collect non-perishable goods to stock food pantries throughout Westchester County. There is a national focus on collecting food and reducing hunger during the month of May.

Student government representatives, classmates, teachers and County Harvest, Inc. volunteers collected more than 700 pounds of food for the cause. The donations included Parmalat, pasta, cereal, canned vegetables and meats, peanut butter, rice, ready-meals, beans and other provisions.

The food donations were loaded into County Harvest vans and volunteer vehicles and delivered to the following partner agencies: West HELP in Mount Vernon; New Rochelle CAP in New Rochelle; Hope Community Services in New Rochelle; and the YWCA in White Plains.

These County Harvest, Inc. partner agencies provide a broad range of ser-vices to the community including food pantry access, on-site day care, shelter, healthcare, volunteerism, senior nutrition, child care referral, alcohol coun-seling, outreach, and additional support programs.

County Harvest is an all-volunteer organization that rescues good excess food from supermarkets, wholesale clubs, country clubs and caterers and de-livers it to over 30 agencies in Westchester. Our third van was added to the County Harvest fleet in 2013 through the generosity of the Sandra and Law-rence Simon Family Foundation.

County Harvest, Inc. is a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization whose vol-unteers rescue good, unused food from a variety of food donors and deliver it immediately to soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters in West-chester County. Our mission is to help communities in Westchester County as a food rescue organization by connecting food donors with agencies serving people in need.

Pelham Civic Association Celebrates Summer Olympics

BY TONY SHEA

The Pelham Civic Asso-ciation celebrated their 2016 Summer Olympics event at Glover Field on Saturday June 4, 2016.

The event featured a number of fun non-compet-itive events for kids aged K-5 (although many older siblings enjoyed the day too), includ-ing an obstacle course, long jump, high jump, tug-of-war, sack races, and a water slide that proved to be the most popular event of the day, as children patiently waited in line for their turn to get soaked.

Athletes also partic-ipated in the Gerry Walls Memorial 1k Cross County Challenge, named after the former Pelham resident and avid runner who died from skin cancer in 2002.

When it was all done, everyone was a winner.

Children and their parents celebrated with free hotdogs and sodas — and of course ice cream from the local Good Humor truck. All the children who participated received commemorative t-shirts and

m e d a l s , h o p e f u l l y i n s p i r i n g them to reach for new athletic heights in the coming years. While they won’t be ready to compete in this year’s s u m m e r O l y m p i c s

in Rio Da Janeiro, Brazil, who knows what they may be able to achieve.

The Pelham Civic Asso-

ciation was founded in 1939 and currently has more than 150 volunteer members. In the more than 75 years of its exis-tence, the Pelham Civic Associ-ation has prided itself on mak-ing charitable donations and performing other charitable acts for the youth and senior citizens in our community, helping those that are finan-cially in need and/or mentally challenged, and all the while encouraging the community spirit and pride that are the hallmarks of Pelham.

As resident Paul Reyn-olds, whose four children par-ticipated in the day’s events, said, “There was incredible participation. How many com-munities do you see like this?” Indeed.

June 1, 2016 -- INVESTIGATIONPolice met with Pelham School Dis-trict Director of Technology and the Technology Assistant from the Pel-ham School District at police head-quarters. They stated that on May 26, 2016 an elementary school teacher at Prospect School had opened up her email account and one of the emails had a virus. They further stated the virus had infected the elementary school computer server. The com-plainant advised that the main com-puter server for the four elementary school is located in the high school building. Once the teacher received the virus, the virus entered the server and then infiltrated the other elemen-tary schools computers. The virus had deleted all the data from the server. The technology department took the teacher’s computer from her class-room and brought it to the high school building where a trace was conducted. They were able to retrieve all the data and place it back into the server. At this time no data is missing and all com-puter systems are back to normal. It was also noted that the trace located a ransom note that indicated a virus had entered the school district and it could be repaired if certain directions were followed. All systems are now operat-ing properly and the case was closed after the investigation.

June 3, 2016 -- FIRECounty Control called on Pelham Fire Department is assist Con Edison with entry into a home on Cliff Avenue. Po-lice were dispatched to that location on the report of a gas leak. Con Edison stated that they required entry to 5 other Cliff Avenue homes. Access was gained and all was found to be in order. Con Edison stayed on the scene for fur-ther work.

June 3, 2016 -- ANIMAL COMPLAINTPolice were dispatched to a Maple Av-enue location on the report of a found yellow lab. Police were able to find the owner and return the dog to its home.

June 3, 2016 -- NEIGHBORHOOD DISTURBANCEPolice responded to an establishment on Fifth Avenue. On arrival they found a man being escorted out of the bar. Police spoke with the man who was belligerent and appeared intoxicated. He was upset because he had been re-moved from the establishment due to inappropriately speaking and putting his arm around another person in the bar. The gentlemen was advised by the police that his evening at the bar was over and he had to go home. No further action needed.

June 7, 2016 -- DISTURBANCEPolice were advised of a person possi-bly sleeping on the side of the road in the vicinity of Wolfs Lane Hutchinson River Parkway Exit. Police were dis-patched and were told the occupant was a limo driver who was just relax-ing for a few minutes. He was sent on his way.
