“Saved by the Seniors” Capture PMHS Olympics Championship

The “Saved by the Seniors” cap-tured their first PMHS Olympics championship following an exciting day of competition, teamwork and incredible school spirit. The annual school Olympics, held March 1, in-volved each class competing against one another for the right to call them-selves Olympic Champions. The se-

niors, juniors, sophomores and fresh-man classes each picked a theme for the week and engaged in preliminary competitions before squaring off on the last day. In addition to the “Saved by the Seniors,” the other themes this year were the “Futuristic Freshmen,” the “Story Book Sophomores,” and the “Jet Set Juniors.” Activities included

dodgeball, Kan Jam, Jenga, Pictionary, lip sync, paper airplanes, limbo and more. Classes were awarded points not just for winning competitions, but for exhibiting school spirit and sports-manship as well. The event culminat-ed in the annual silly walk, in which each class performed in front of the rest of the school.

Anderson Commends Village Police, Fire Depart-ments and EMT for “Life Saving Miracle”

BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

Clive J. Anderson, Fu-neral Director, Pelham Fu-neral Home presented a letter of gratitude to Mayor Michael Volpe at the March 26 Village of Pelham Board of Trustees meeting.

“I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge…the life saving miracle that was performed by our first responders,” Anderson be-gan. “On Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at approximately 9:30 a.m., an attendant at the Pel-ham Funeral Home suffered a massive heart attack.

‘If it were not for the quick response and skills of Sgt. Anthony Borsella, Of-ficer Rita McConnell and Officer Sean McDowell this individual would no longer be with us today.” Anderson also thanked EMT Eddie Fox

and Village Fire Department Trustee Xaira Ferrara report-ed on a revised plan for the Ancon Avenue Five Points In-tersection.

“We have confirmation from New Rochelle that they are going to reinstate the traf-

fic light on Kings Highway,” Ferrara said.” Volpe replied that there was concern re-garding stop light timing pos-sibly backing up traffic west and that perhaps stop signs might be better. Ferrara con-cluded that Pelham Manor

will repaint the stop bar on Manor Ridge Road.

Highbrook Highline President and Co-Founder Susan Mutti appeared with committee member Roger Wines, Ph.D., saying that Pel-ham Junior League provided

Clive J. Anderson, Funeral Director, Pelham Funeral Home

a $2,000 grant for pavers to connect Young Avenue for “commuters, walkers and kids.”

Of 1,310 ballots cast, there were 812 votes for Prop-osition 1, changing the elec-tion date to the Tuesday suc-

ceeding the first Monday in November of each year, versus 498 votes to retain the March election date, according to Westchester County unofficial election results.

Unofficial Tally of Election Results: Mayor, Chance Mullen, Demo-cratic/Pelham Forward (PFW) Party, 850 votes, 60%; Mayor, Republican/Village of Pelham Party (VPP) candidate Candice Ripoll, 576 votes, 40%; total ballots 1,426. DEM/PFW Trustees: Michael

Carpenter, 830 votes, 20%; Lisa Hill-Ries, 804, 19%; Ariel Spira Cohen, 821, 19%.

REP/VPP Trustees: Ste-phen Doka, 624, 15%; Arthur Long, 583, 14%; Leroy Marri-ott, 560, 13%. Total Trustee votes: 4,222.

Tentative 2019-2020 Budget Reviewed; Passing of Beloved Citizen Announced


Pelham Manor Mayor Jennifer Monachino Lap-ey announced the passing of esteemed Pelham Manor resident John Cermanski on March 21st. Cermanski, 72 was a member of the Pelham Man-or Volunteer Fire Department, Pelham Civics and volunteer coach for Pelham Little League and Huguenot Hoops Basket-ball team.

“Our hearts are heavy tonight,” Mayor Lapey noted. “He was a gracious and sup-portive human being…” Trust-ee Breda Bennett added that

her children knew him as the Santa sitting atop a fire truck two weeks before Christmas.

“Our hearts go out to his wife Ella who teaches at Hu-guenot Nursery School,” Lapey concluded. “He will be sorely missed.”

Village Manager John Pierpont presented the Ten-tative 2019-2020 Budget. Bal-ance to be raised by Real Es-tate Levy is $12,866,540 with a 2.48% increase, under the Tax Cap of 2.49%. Public Hearing is set for Monday, April 8th.

Giving the DPW Report for January, Pierpont men-tioned that the Waste Stream

Recycling is 65%. “We are in the middle of our Spring Leaf Collections,” Pierpont said. “Residents have until Monday, April 15 to get their leaves out to the curb; otherwise they must be put in Recycling Bags.”

Norman Pure stated that E-Commerce trucks would probably not use the pro-scribed I-95 Conner Street Exit, because it is curvy, nar-row with 90-degree turns; in-stead traveling straight down Boston Post Road.

Pierpont replied that E-Commerce’s Certificate of Occupancy would be revoked if proper route procedures were

not followed; video monitoring would be used.

Results for the Tuesday, March 19th election were as follows: Mayor, running under the name Jennifer L. Monachi-no, 125 Republican plus 53 Neighborhood, 9 absentee bal-lots, total 187; Trustees Angela M. DeLillo, 120 Republican, 47 Neighborhood, 8 absentee, total 175; Joseph C. Senerchia, 126 Republican, 49 Neighbor-hood, 8 absentee, total 183.

Write-ins for Mayor: Louis Annunziata, 1; David Sparano, 1; Tara Weishaupl, 1; Deborah Winstead, 9. Trustee: Deborah Winstead, 34.

MS Students Visit Little Pulp Art Studio

Middle School teachers Jennifer Kitay and Christina Levi took students on a field trip to Little Pulp Art Studio in Queens. On the trip students used their imagination and creativity when sketching different designs on foam tiles. They then had the opportu-nity to paint and use a printmaker to pub-lish their work. Throughout our visit, the students participated in different hands-on stations where they could explore different ways to express themselves through art. This included the use of a variety of different stamps, objects, paint utensils, ink and glue. To conclude their fantastic day, the students created their very own sketchbooks to take home and used the printmaker to make a personalized cover.

Proposal to Rename Turf Field at Glover Complex

The Board of Education has been presented with a proposal to name the current turf multipur-pose field at the Glover Complex in honor of the late Anthony Senerchia Jr. and is seeking input from the Pelham community at its meeting at 8:15 pm on Tuesday, April 9 in the Middle School Library.

Senerchia, who passed away in 2017 after battling ALS, graduated from PMHS and was a long-time volunteer coach in the community. He and his family helped inspire the “ALS Ice Bucket Chal-lenge,” a nation-wide phenomenon which resulted in millions of dollars in donations for research to combat the disease.

Anyone interested in commenting on the proposal is welcome to share their opinion during the public comment portion of the April 9 meeting or submit an email to the Board of Education at [email protected]. The Board will review all feedback and may consider acting on the proposal at its April 23 meeting.

Screening of Wasted! Hosted by EcoPel at The Picture House

To commemorate Earth Day 2019, TPH and EcoPel will host a free screening of the doc-umentary WASTED! The Story of Food Waste on Monday, April 22nd at 7:00 p.m. followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with local sustainability pioneers Thomas McQuillan, VP Corpo-rate Strategy and Sustainability at Baldor Specialty Foods and Adam Kaye, Founder of The Spare Food Co.

WASTED! The Story of Food Waste aims to change the way people buy, cook, recycle, and eat food. Through the eyes of chef-heroes like Anthony Bourdain, Dan Barber, Massimo Bottura, and Danny Bowien, audiences will see how the world’s most influential chefs make the most of every kind of food, transforming what most people consider scraps into incredible dishes that create a more secure food system. WASTED! exposes the criminality of food waste and how it’s directly contributing to climate change and shows us how each of us can make small changes – all of them delicious – to solve one of the greatest problems of the 21st century.

After the screening, EcoPel will moderate a discussion and Q&A with sustainability pioneers Thomas McQuillan and Adam Kaye. McQuillan joined Baldor Specialty Foods, Inc. in 2015. Tasked with creating a strategic plan to make Baldor more sustainable, McQuillan spearheaded the SparCs (scraps spelled backwards) initiative to reduce food waste throughout the company. Baldor’s sus-tainability initiatives are also focused on overall waste reduction throughout the organization, and the company has launched several initiatives to become more energy efficient. Kaye’s journey to The Spare Food Co. began when he interrupted a nascent career at an environmental law think tank to attend the French Culinary Institute as a recipient of a James Beard scholarship and went on to cook in and lead some of the most influential kitchens in Washington D.C. and New York. For the past 18 years, Kaye has worked side-by-side with Dan Barber at Blue Hill at Stone Barns as Chef, Culinary Director, and educator. He co-created the successful wastED pop-up restaurant concepts in New York and London, which garnered international acclaim.

The Environmental Coalition of the Pelhams (EcoPel), established in 2013, is a grassroots, not-for-profit (501c3) membership organization that aims to educate and mobilize the community about sustainable green practices and ways to protect our environment, as well as provide resources that will aid in environmental initiatives and policies that directly benefit communities locally and glob-ally.

Tickets to the special Earth Day screening and discussion are FREE and are available at https://thepicturehouse.org/show/earth-day-wasted or at the box office, 175 Wolfs Lane, Pel-

ham, NY 10803.

Special Benefit for Astor Services for Children and Families

Emmy Award winning television news reporter Magee Hickey and the Hickey family proudly present a special evening of cabaret with singers Stacy Sullivan, Natalie Douglas, Jamie Owens and special guest stars, on Saturday, April 13, with pro-ceeds to benefit the children of Astor Services for Children & Families’ Lawrence F. Hickey Center for Child Development in the Bronx, New York. The center provides early childhood and mental health services to 3-to-5-year-olds with emotional and cognitive challenges.

With this ninth annual fundraiser, Hickey continues the legacy of support to Astor’s children by her father, Lawrence F. Hickey, for whom the Hickey Center (formerly the Little Red Schoolhouse) was named in honor of his integral work in estab-lishing the center and support of Astor’s children.

“The older I get, the more I realize what a truly wonder-ful, special man my father was,” said Hickey. “Lawrence Hick-ey spent his entire life helping other people, whether it was his family, his co-workers or the children in the schools run by Astor Services. His was a life of total selflessness and it is our pleasure, the four children of Lawrence Hick-ey, Elizabeth, Frank, Jane and myself, to raise money for the Lawrence F. Hickey Center for Child De-velopment. Both my parents loved children and music, so this 9th annual cabaret fundraiser seems like a perfect tribute to my father and the wonderful work being done by Astor.”

The Saturday, April 13, event will take place at The Manor Club, 1023 Esplanade, Pelham, New York. A reception is scheduled for 4 p.m., with the show beginning at 5 p.m. Tickets are $85 for gen-eral admission ($75 early bird special before March 30) and $160 for show admission and a post-cab-aret VIP reception ($150 before March 30). Astor’s major sponsors include Catholic Charities Arch-diocese of New York, Protiviti, M&T Bank, Adams Fairacre Farms, McCarthy’s Pharmacy, Mutual of America and Rose & Kiernan, Inc. The event sponsors include Ms. LeeAnn Black, event sponsor; Ms. Patti Kenner, transportation sponsor; and Ms. Pauline Barfield, wine sponsor.

For tickets, visit astorservices.org/event/cabaret/. For information or event sponsorship, con-tact Jeannine Mendez at [email protected] or (646) 300-2810.

New Contest offers Artists a Chance to Win Free Rent in New Rochelle for 12 Months

Artists looking for a great place to live now have an op-portunity to win free rent for 12 months in New Rochelle’s vibrant downtown.

The City of New Rochelle, in partnership with RXR Real-ty, launched a new contest that will award one lucky winner one year free rent in a studio apartment at RXR’s 360 Hu-guenot, a 28-story, 280-unit mixed-use building nearing completion of construction.

Located minutes from the Metro-North station in the heart of downtown New Rochelle, the building will include a 10,000-square-foot black box theater for film, the-ater, dance, music and art pro-grams.

To apply, interested art-ists must submit a 30-second-or-less video detailing why New Rochelle is the ideal cre-ative place to live. The deadline to apply is May 17, and the win-ner will be announced in July.

“Our artist community is a critical component of the downtown transformation,” said New Rochelle’s Commis-sioner of Development Luiz Aragon. “The contest is a fun

way to foster that community and the creative energy that powers the city.”

“With its black box the-ater, 360 Huguenot is already set to become a new cultural hub for New Rochelle when it opens. We are excited that among its cultural assets will also be an artist-in- residence, who will ensure not just that 360 Huguenot is a place where great art is presented, but that it is also a place where great

art is created,” said Seth Pin-sky, Executive Vice President at RXR.

In addition to the con-test, The City of New Rochelle continues to cultivate the artist community through a robust public arts program. Earlier this year, the City an-nounced the completion of the Overpass Illuminated Art Project, “Radiant Passage,” a multidimensional art installa-tion located at the overpass of North Ave. & Memorial High-way.

Oshi Rabin, the leading artist of the Public & Urban Art team at New Rochelle’s Mahlstedt Gallery, designed the overpass’s LED interactive mural and led the project’s in-stallation in collaboration with muralist Misha Tyutyunik.

In September, the City celebrated the addition of 15 custom NRNY sculptures de-signed as part of the “Stacked!” series, which began in July with the unveiling of two piec-es by Charles and Heather Fazzino.

Susan Greenberg, MS, PT, Owner

New York 1 News Anchor and author Cheryl Wills visited Pelham 7th graders on Tuesday, March 26 to share an inspiring message about perseverance, fighting for what is right, and discovering your family roots.

Wills, an award-winning television personality and journalist, spoke about her journey seeking to dis-cover her family’s history after the death of her father. At her father’s funeral, she said, Ms. Wills discovered for the first time that he was born in Tennessee.

From there she dove into her family history, discovering for the first time that her great-great-great grandfather Sandy Wills (Grandpa Sandy) escaped slavery from a plantation during the Civil War and fought for the Union Army. In recounting the family story, Ms. Wills asked the students to reflect on different as-pects of the slavery era, such as why owners made sure slaves could not learn to read or write and or why Grandpa Sandy insisted his occupation be listed as “farmer” rather than “slave” when signing-up to fight for the army.

In their responses, students shared examples of their own family histories, such as one student being the descendant of a former slave in Cuba and another coming to America on the Mayflower.

She also spoke about her great-great-great grandmother Emma’s fight to receive a military pension following Grandpa Sandy’s death, which involved a lengthy court battle to ensure that she was treated the same as white military widows. Grandma Emma eventually won the court battle, which Ms. Wills said was an example of the value of perseverance and helped shape her most current fight to ensure that her ances-tors’ remains are exhumed from a mass grave and buried with proper honor and respect.

Throughout the lecture, Ms. Wills sought to encourage the students to discover their family history and inspire them to use their education as a tool to achieve their dreams.

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Performs First Pyrophosphate Scan

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s clini-cal staff performed the first Pyrophosphate Scan at the Bronxville Community Hospital. The scan is a non-inva-sive imaging technique used to take clear pictures of the heart. Using a Gamma Camera, the Nuclear Medicine team initiated the procedure to determine if a patient had cardiac amyloidosis, a disorder caused by deposits of amyloid, an abnormal protein that invades and damages the heart resulting in it not working properly.

“This is a very serious condition and historically there wasn’t much we could to for a patient once amyloidosis was found”, says Dr. Albert DeLuca, a board-certified cardiologist from Columbia, who practices at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital. “But, with our research, technological advances, and new drugs on the market to treat this disease, we have elevated patient care and can now save more lives, and give people a new lease on life,” adds Dr. DeLuca.

Columbia researchers received a grant to study cardiac amyloidosis, which helped them pio-neer a way to image the heart in search of this abnormal protein.

Second Annual “Empathy Towards All” Volleyball Tournament Held at Pelham Middle School


The Second Annual “Em-pathy Towards All” (ETA) Vol-leyball Tournament was held at Pelham Middle School on Saturday, March 30, organized once again in conjunction with the Pelham Police Depart-ment by Girl Scout Troop # 1662 member Kimberly Rosell, as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award, received on March 9th.

The Tournament began with vigorous slam-bang action from the 11 teams, Au Poors; Birthday Waffles; Crew 42; Frank’s Ducklings; The Help (Girl Scout and community leaders); Pelham Varsity Volley-ball Team, (PVVB); Taco Tues-days; Girl Scout Troops 1662, 1667; Pelham Village Board and Police Benevolent Association (PBA).

“What a fantastic day this has been,” Pelham Chamber of Commerce President Clayton Bushong stated. “Kimberly has done such great stuff for this community. She is an inspira-tion for scouts and young girls in Pelham. We will miss her as she goes off to school and hope that somebody takes her lead…”

“It is really incredible what Kimberly has been able to do,” Mayor-Elect Chance Mul-len added. “That is not surpris-ing; the Rosell family has been such an incredibly active family in this community for a really long time.”

“I chose volleyball because I know this sport like the back of my hand,” Rosell said. “I have been playing since Middle School and Pelham Memorial High School Volleyball Coach Mark Finegan suggested that we have a Volleyball tourna-ment…”

In addition, Detective John Hynes celebrated his 51st birthday and trophies were awarded to winners PVVB; Frank’s Ducklings, Best Dressed Trophy and PBA Team, Sportsmanship Award.

Rosell began ETA in 2017, putting in over 300 hours of work with the goal of bringing Police and community closer together through sports and educational workshops, plus fundraising for a License Plate Reading System, donated to the Pelham Police Department in 2018.

Tony-Winner Lillias White, Kissy Simmons, J. Harrison Ghee, More to Join Anthony Nunziata April 15 at The Green Room 42

Tony Award and Emmy Award- winner Lillias White, Kissy Simmons (Nala in The Lion King), J. Harrison Ghee (Lola in Kinky Boots), Natalie Weiss (Everyday Rapture), Marissa Rosen (The Rocky Horror Show), 16 year- old pop singer Caroline Cohen and other surprise guests will sing the original songs of singer- songwriter An-thony Nunziata on Monday, Apr. 15 at 7pm at The Green Room 42. Tickets are $20- ‐-$60 and can be purchased at TheGreenRoom42.com. Musical Director Eugene Gwozdz leads a 5-piece band, and the concert is directed by Will Nunziata (Jackie Evan-cho, Lillias White).

This special concert eve-ning will celebrate the orig-inal music of Anthony Nun-ziata including songs from his new album Love Always, movie- ‐-bound originals and songs that have been written for artists in the worlds of Pop, R&B, country and musi-

cal theater.As a singer- songwriter

Anthony tours extensive-ly across the country and around the world, recently appeared at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops and is featured in the Netflix film

The Last Laugh oppo-site Richard Dreyfuss and Chevy Chase.

Love Always is currently available on Apple Music and Am-azon Music as well as for purchase on Wil-lAndAnthony.com. Pro-duced by Tedd Firth, Love Always features songs from the Nunzia-ta brothers, while also featuring current Wick-ed star Jessica Vosk and violinist Caroline Campbell. The album contains seven original tunes written by An-thony and co- written by Maria Christensen

(Jennifer Lopez’s “Waiting for Tonight”), Jeff Franzel, Tom Kimmel, Nina Ossoff (Westchester-native) and Porter Carroll, Jr.

“I am thrilled to be sharing for the first time an evening of original songs with some of Broadway’s big-gest stars. I love the idea of

“coming home” to New York City to premiere the songs. I look forward to seeing many of my friends and fans in the Westchester County area.” Anthony stated.

“Spending the majority of my childhood in Pelham Manor, I loved going into Manhattan to go to concerts and Broadway shows. As a singer of classic songs from the American Songbook and beyond, I have learned so

much from the great com-posers and the artistry they bring to music and lyrics. It is a thrill to bring my own original songs to New York City, and I can’t wait to share them with the world with a cast of world-class singers.

And I am excited that my brother Will, will be join-ing me for a special song...and he will be directing the evening as well! Will has become the ‘diva whisperer’

Anthony Nunziata

as a director and is cur-rently working with Plat-inum recording artist Jackie Evancho as among the roster of artists for whom he has created and directed concerts.” he shared.

The Nunziata brothers have also part-nered with one of the nation’s leading breast cancer non- profits, Su-san G. Komen®. The original song “The Gift Is You” from Love Always will be used in upcom-

ing campaign videos for the organization in the Spring 2019. The song was written as a response to their moth-er’s breast cancer diagnosis (today she is in remission). Grammy winning producer and songwriter Rudy Perez (Christina Aguilera, Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin) wrote the Spanish version “El Re-galo Eres Tu” that is also fea-tured on the album.

Sotheby's International Realty Exceeds Record $112 Billion in Global Sales Volume for 2018William Pitt-Julia B. Fee

Sotheby’s International Realty announced that Sotheby’s Inter-national Realty Affiliates LLC re-ported that its affiliated brokers and sales professionals achieved more than $112 billion USD in global sales volume in 2018, the highest annual sales volume per-formance in the history of the brand. Additionally, 27 affiliated companies surpassed $1 billion USD in sales volume in 2018.

“Experts predicted that 2018 would be a slow year for the global real estate market,” said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC. “Despite the forecast, our talented affiliated companies

and their sales associates con-tinued to perform at the top of their game to drive a year-over-year sales volume increase that is truly remarkable. We are going to keep the momentum going in 2019 and we will continue to empower the Sotheby's Interna-tional Realty network by offering innovative products, tools and research to provide best in class service.”

Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam and the Maldives. The brand also saw growth in Mexico City, Mexico; the Metropolitan area of Puebla; Valle de Bravo and Malinalco in Estado de Mexico; and Cuernavaca and Tepoztlán in Morelos.

The Sotheby's Interna-tional Realty brand website, so-thebysrealty.com, saw another record year with more than 30 million visits, a 13 percent in-crease year-over-year, with 13 percent of traffic generated from new users.

cations searched were London, United Kingdom; Paris, France; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Lake Como, Italy; and Sydney, Australia.

Lessons To Learn About Advanced DirectivesBY BERNARD A. KROOKS, CERTI-

FIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

Many celebrities have passed away recently, includ-ing David Bowie, Aretha Frank-lin, and Luke Perry, among others. Some had done proper estate planning prior to their death, while others had not.

While we all know (al-though some of us don’t like to admit it) that we are going to die someday; sometimes, people get sick before they die, and, other times, we die suddenly. In this column, we have often emphasized the importance of not only estate planning for the disposition of your assets upon your demise, but also lifetime planning to account for your wishes in the event you become incapacitat-ed either mentally or physical-ly prior to death. That plan-ning should encompass and

consider who you would like to make medical and financial decisions for you in the event you are no longer able to do so yourself.

Sometimes, death arrives with plenty of warning and there is time to get your affairs in order. Other times, there is no warning. Proper estate and lifetime planning hopefully accounts for both scenarios. However, having an estate plan doesn’t always mean things go smoothly, and when things go smoothly, it’s not always be-cause there was an estate plan.

For example, let’s look at a recent celebrity death, that of Luke Perry. Last month, the Hollywood star died in Cal-ifornia at the age of 52 from a massive stroke. At the end, he was removed from life-sustain-ing treatment with his loved ones by his side. No legal bat-tles, no court involvement, and

no family fighting. If this had happened in New York, it’s also quite likely that no court pro-ceeding would have been re-quired for such a decision, pri-marily because Perry’s loved ones appear to have agreed with the course of action.

When it comes to health-care decisions for an incapac-itated person in New York, a health care proxy and a living will are your best options. This way, you have appointed some-one to make decisions for you when you can no longer make them yourself and you have reduced to writing what those wishes are when it comes to certain end-of-life situations. While this does not guaranty that your wishes will be hon-ored, it greatly enhances the likelihood that they will be and that’s the best we can hope for.

New York law provides a hierarchy of surrogate deci-

sion-makers for you if you have not appointed one yourself. First on the list is a court-ap-pointed guardian, followed by a spouse (if not legally sep-arated) or domestic partner, an adult son or daughter, a parent, an adult brother or sis-ter, and a close friend, in that order.

Once the decision-maker has been identified, that per-son is then supposed to follow the patient’s wishes, if known. The only reason a court should get involved is if there is a dis-agreement about who should be the decision maker or the decisions that person makes.

Since Luke was not mar-ried at the time of his death, under New York law, had it applied, his former spouse and fiancé could have been consid-ered close friends (assuming the fiancé did not qualify as a domestic partner), if included

at all; his children, Jack and Sophie, would have been the main decision makers, and because there are two of them, they would have had to agree on treatment. This is a very difficult decision to make for anyone, especially such young adults. Thus, they could have declined, leaving the decision to Luke’s mother, followed by his siblings.

In Perry’s case, we may never know who, or what group, made the actual de-cision. That hardly matters. What does matter is your fam-ily’s dynamics and whether, should something tragic occur, you have left sufficient direc-tion to help them through it. Do you have advance directives in place? Luke Perry’s untime-ly death reminded us: it’s time to get your advance directives completed and signed.

Manhattanville College Offers Rapid Transfer Process for College of New Rochelle StudentsIn response to The College

of New Rochelle's recent state-ment that it will likely close in the summer of 2019, Manhattanville College announced plans to sup-port The College of New Rochelle students.

“Manhattanville offers The College of New Rochelle students a smooth and easy transition to a nearby iconic Westchester col-lege,” said Michael Geisler, Pres-ident of Manhattanville College. “CNR students will find similar values and wonderful resources at Manhattanville and we will do our utmost to ensure a rapid, seam-less integration of them into our welcoming community.“

Manhattanville will provide

transfer scholarships for CNR students and housing is available for fall 2019/spring 2020 semesters. Manhattanville will host information ses-sion days and tours with rapid transfer application process-ing on April 18, 2019 from 3 – 7 pm on the Manhattanville campus. In addition, Manhattanville will honor CNR student’s current semester bill (spring of 2019 at CNR) and en-sure that students’ out of pocket expenses are equal to or less than what students paid in the spring

Michael Geisler

of 2019 at the College of New Rochelle. As a result, transferring students will be able to attend Manhattan-ville at the same price they were paying at CNR.

“Offering to match cost is a way of helping students make a decision

based upon which program is best for their future. Making a

transition as a college student can be challenging. We have put to-gether a program that will make transferring simple for CNR stu-dents and their families,” said Peter Burns, VP for Enrollment

Management at Manhattanville College.

“For the April 18 event we will have shuttle buses between Manhattanville and The College of New Rochelle making it con-venient for CNR students to visit our nearby campus, meet with a transfer official, tour the campus, meet with student ambassadors,” added Burns.

“We are committed to en-abling CNR students and their families a smooth transition into Manhattanville beginning in fall 2019,” stated Dr. Geisler. “We have a team ready to help manage the transition from CNR to Man-hattanville with as little stress as possible. On behalf of the entire

Manhattanville community, we are completely committed to set-tling in CNR students and offering them a new home with mindful-ness around their comfort and sense of belonging.”

Manhattanville College has multiple programs in common with CNR including:

• Interdisciplinary Program; Art; Criminal Justice; Environ-mental Studies; Biology; Chem-istry; English; Business; French; History; Media Arts; Philosophy; Math; Political Science; Psychol-ogy; Sociology; Spanish; Sports Marketing; Teacher Education/4 + 1 1/2 Programs and 4 + 1 BA/MS in Sports Business and Entertain-ment might be of interest to CNR

students in Sports Marketing.“Manhattanville is a leader

in teacher education offering 60+ specialty areas of study,” contin-ued Dr. Geisler. “We will work with transfer students interested in teacher education to devise a plan that folds into our graduate school and, if possible, integrate each student’s studies from CNR into our 4 + 1 1/2 education programs. With over 800 graduate students studying education at Manhattan-ville, CNR transfer students will be joining the most established edu-cation program in the area.”

It was a pleasure, after a long, hot day at the Stampede, to return to the relaxed calm of the Mar-riott Downtown Hotel. Located close to parks, music venues and art galleries, I enjoyed their One 18 Em-pire restaurant – unique, and with a menu nothing short of innovative. After dinner, it was fun to social-ize at their Whiskey Bar with others.

Grandstand Show Spectacular: As the sun set, magic filled the night and the 90 minute outdoor musical spectacle began. It was nonstop entertain-ment by internationally acclaimed guest artists in-cluding Sheryl Crow. Dazzling and explosive, it con-cluded with an award-winning fireworks finale. So, this July, all you cowboy and cowgirl wanna-bes, pull on some boots, put on a Stetson and come on up! The Calgary Stampede is sure to transport you from the world as you now know it!

Where to Dine after The Spring Orchid Show 2019 at NYBG!

A beautiful Technicolor harbinger of spring, the 17th annual Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx runs thru April 28th. I look for-ward to visiting NYBG, walking thru the beautifully restored Enid Haupt Conser-vatory and beholding the seductive floral

arrangements and dramatic plantings. This year’s theme: ‘Singapore, City In A Garden’! (For additional info: www.nybg.org) After taking in all that beauty, we do get hungry. So where do we dine? Here are a few suggestions…STARR DINING PAVILLIONS at NYBG!

Ever since restaurant rock star Ste-phen Starr took over the food service con-cessions at NYBG, now known as Constel-lation Culinary Group, hungry visitors have been taking note. Starr made a big name for himself in Philadelphia where he owns several powerhouse restaurants including his retro: Continental. He is also represented in Atlantic City at Bud-dakan, and in Washington, D.C. at the hot new Le Diplomate where we enjoyed a wonderful French brasserie brunch re-cently. He has premiered themed Dining Pavilions throughout the park and near

the Enid Haupt Pavilion: the casual Pine Tree Café and a more formal dining room with waiter service called Hudson Garden Grill serv-ing an eclectic American menu with locally sourced ingredients. Open daily. Check it out online: www.nybg.org/visit/dining/the-

Hang on to your Stetson, Pardner! Get ready for excitement, tension and exceptional drama. There’s a rootin’, tootin’, rip-roaring, down-and-dusty rodeo that takes place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada every July - the famous Calgary Stampede known as the Great-est Outdoor Show on Earth - and it’s happening again – July 5-14. Each year, more than one million visitors from around the world come to Calgary to experi-ence the heart-stopping action of the world’s richest Rodeo featuring bull riding, barrel racing, steer wres-tling, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping and more fun than should be legally allowed! This is also one of Canada’s largest music festivals, with five stages and 300 performers, including a slate of international music headliners. Calgary, located in the heart of the Canadian West, one hour from Banff and the Rocky Mountains, is a vibrant, bustling city of over one mil-lion inhabitants.

How the West was Once: From the vaqueros to the American cowboy, rodeo history is filled with interesting characters and a multi-cultural mix of customs and practices. At the heart of rodeo, is a sport which arose out of cattle herding and was based on the skills required of working ranch hands. A highlight of the Calgary Stampede is its bucking stock, a rare and highly respected breed; their bulls are a hard-hitting, no-nonsense bunch that challenge the best cowboys.

I had the fun-filled pleasure of attending the Calgary Stampede last year: a ten-day citywide cele-bration and a memorable western experience. The moment I de-planed, I just knew that this experience was going to be something really special. The airport was filled with happy, partying people and live, loud, good western music with songs like “Ghost Riders in

the Sky” and that perennial Hank Williams favorite, “There’s a Tear in my Beer.”

A Parade Fit For Royalty: I began my adventure at Rope Square, where hundreds had already gathered to line dance and enjoy (free) delicious pancakes and bacon served right from the back of a chuckwagon! I loved the Stampede Parade that kicks off the event, a ribbon of pageantry that featured 40 floats, 30 march-ing bands, 750 horses, riders and celebrities.

Midway Family Fun: On to the Stampede Mid-way at the fairgrounds. This place has enough to im-press even the biggest thrill seekers, from hair-rais-ing rides to challenging games, live music, agriculture shows and hundreds of shopping and food experi-ences. I had some terrific food choices – giant squid on a stick, octopus pizza, cricket grilled cheese. I went for the somewhat safer bacon onion bomb and deep fried pineapple rings, topped off with a hot ice cream donut sandwich.

The Wow Factor: Soon, the reason I was here – rodeo – the heart of the Calgary Stampede. It is one of the largest and most famous events of its kind in the world with the toughest competitors and the high quality of horses, bulls and steers. I witnessed amaz-ing events: ladies barrel racing, steer wrestling, bronc riding as cowboys exploded out of their chutes, calf roping done in seconds with no harm to the animal, and bulls roaring into the arena, their riders twisting, turning, flipping sky high and trying to stay on for the required eight seconds -- flinging, jumping a 2,000 pound crazed creature who wants nothing more than to get you off his back! But stay on and ride the cow-boys did, and with élan and class.

Memorable Moments: Indian Village has played a major role in the stampede from its begin-nings. Bright, colorful, remarkable, I was captivated by authentic native dancing, 26 hand-designed tipis representing five Canadian Indian nations, dancing, drumming, arts and crafts, storytelling, and some traditional dishes like bannock, a delectable pan-fried bread.

Each night, there are chuckwagon races with competitors vying for more than $1m in prize money.

I was blown away by a rare, behind-the-scenes dressing room tour to see hundreds of props and costumes used in the spectacular Grandstand Show. I met members of the Young Canadians from the Calgary area. They train and perform throughout the year culminating in a performance for an inter-national audience of over 150,000 spectators at the annual Grandstand Show . They were fantastic!

My VIP Cowboy Dressing Room and Chute tour: This was a chance to check out those cute Brod-ys, Chads, and Chances – real-life, professional, com-peting cowboys!
