Pelham Flag Rugby vs. Aspetuck

BY YASMIN JORGE

On a picturesque spring day, there was rumbling on the rugby field among fledging players. Late last month Pelham elementary rug-by (grades 2-4) faced Aspetuck youth rugby club from Connecticut. Both teams faced off in a spirited quick-ac-tion one-hour game on Ingalls Field.

Determined and scrappy, Pel-ham took the lead and was able to

stay on top for a well-earned victory of 8-6. Pelham had scored the first try instantly, followed by Aspetuck locking in a second try. Both proved skilled at passing among players, even at nail-biting seconds as mem-bers went down or were flagged.

Sebastian Fisher, Benjamin Gor-ski, Zyde Karame, and Sean McCormick all scored try’s for Pelham, following nimble Ashok Seecharran’s opening

DPW Program Looks Good; LED Street Lights Proposal and Eagle Scout Project Approved

BY YASMIN JORGE The Village of Pelham Manor

held its twice-monthly Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting on Mon-day, May 23rd.

Highlights included:

For the Village Treasurer’s De-partment of Public Works (DPW) April report, Village Administra-tor John Pierpont said the Village budget is going to end the year in “good shape,” with remaining mon-ey going to fund balance. Recy-cling stayed steady at 40%. Organ-ic waste is a big component of the DPW program. Lastly, “March is a big month because of spring clean-up,” according to Trustee Joseph Senerchia.

Regarding the LED street

lights proposal, low pressure so-dium lights, back from the 1970s, are currently used. But with new technology now available, LED will replace these existing ones. Bids have already been sent out and the Village will select the lowest bidder, as per Mr. Pierpont. Mr. Senerchia closed with saying, how-ever, that the Village will change the heads -- for considerable cost

savings.The Village is in compliance

with the 10-day requisite for fire safety. For the annual Stormwater Management Report, Mr. Pierpont noted that the report helps pro-tect the stormwater component through public education.

BY TONY SHEA

The Huguenot Nursery School held their annual fundraising “Vehicle Fair” on Saturday May 14, showcasing a number of automotive oddities that you don’t see every day, and certain-ly not all in the same place. Instead of vehicle fair, you could say it was vehicle fabulous!

As Kristen Burke, one of the co-chairs of the event and head of the parent’s committee said, “This is an incredibly fun event our kids look for-ward to all year. It’s very unique.”

On hand for inspection were a firetruck, an ambulance, police cruis-er (dutifully wailing its siren through-out), police paddy wagon, trash loading

Pelham Preservation & Garden Society to Feature Local Photographers in a Gallery Sale and Buy-A-Tile Restoration on June 4

PPGS will be featuring eight local photographers who have donated their art for a Gallery Sale as well as histori-cal prints from the Montgom-ery Slide Collection. The works will be available for purchase ranging in price from $250 to $500 dollars. These works are all thematic in the sense that they showcase Pelham’s histor-ical structures, elements and green spaces.

Cathie Arquilla, lead Gal-lery Sale Curator said of the event, “We were looking for a sale that really reflects the mis-sion and the quality for which Pelham Preservation is known and I think these nine shooters have truly delivered. There is a huge collection of talent among our local photographers. We’re delighted that they have gen-erously created and donated these works specifically for our fundraiser.” Showcased in the elegant and historic barn of the Brown family at 134 Cliff Avenue at the annual benefit, these works will charm attend-ees and hopefully grace the walls of other Pelham homes

in the future. The prints will be provided framed and can be taken the night of the event (or delivered later by a PPGS Board Member).

The pieces of historical note are a selection of prints of the “Montgomery Slide” collection part of the array of photographs taken by William R. Montgomery former town historian and long-time Pel-ham resident. He sought to capture scenes of Pelham from the 1920s using a photographic process that recorded the im-ages on glass slides. A few high quality prints of these slides will be available for purchase at the June 4 Benefit.

Featured artists for the contemporary photography in-clude eight distinct local artists who are generously donating their works to the Gallery Sale, including: Thomas Bricker, Nick Childs, Domenica Com-fort, Jeremy Driesen, Deborah Karson, Jaye McLaughlin, Kim Myers Robertson and Richard Warren.

Separately, Pelham Pres-ervation & Garden Society is

funding the professional digiti-zation of the Town of Pelham’s entire William R. Montgomery collection of glass negatives and lantern slides. The first two boxes of glass negatives are being prepared by Brook-lyn-based digitization studio DiJiFi. After they are prepared PPGS plans to make them available to the public for view-ing. Who knows you just may find a view of your neighbor-hood from the 20s and 30s. The sales of the photographs will take place only in this one of-fering so be ready to make your purchase that day and bring home a piece of Pelham’s histo-ry and beauty.

The June 4th Fundraiser will also feature a “Buy-A-Tile” as part of the effort to restore and refurbish the historic po-lice booth at Four Corners. The Police Booth (the small stucco tile roof structure on the Northwest corner or Bos-ton Post Road and Pelhamdale Ave) has a crumbling facade and requires window work and resetting and replacement of its roof tiles. PPGS is excited

to restore this small reminder of times of less traffic when of-ficers directed traffic by hand at the intersection of Boston Post Road and Pelhamdale Avenue. At the Fundraiser, a limited number of roof tiles will be available for sponsor-ship and your hand-signed roof tile will grace the booth as a time capsule of sorts, marking the structure’s resto-ration. PPGS will also add two more new historic-style iron benches and trash receptacles to the corner, complementing those they added in 2015 and the more historic looking light posts they added in 2014.

To learn more about Pel-ham Preservation and its activ-ities, visit PreservePelham.org. Tickets are available for $60 per person. Anyone who cannot at-tend the fundraiser is invited to join as a member for $25 annu-ally. To RSVP for the fundraiser or to join the PPGS send a check made out to Pelham Preserva-tion & Garden Society to: P.O. Box 8129, Pelham, NY 10803. Email [email protected] for more information.

Our letter writing campaigns to our State legislators and representatives, in conjunction with similar campaigns throughout the State, have worked!

This school year your advocacy efforts helped restore aid to our schools by overturning the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA). As a result of your willingness to contact our legislators, the Pelham Public Schools will add over $100,000 to our bot-tom line. These funds have helped us to stay under the tax cap and both enhance and expand offerings to our students. Together we were also able to en-sure a more thoughtful, inclusive review of the new teacher and administrative evaluation process by successfully advocating for a review of the Annu-al Professional Performance Review (APPR). We achieved a four-year moratorium on the practice of tying nearly half of a teacher’s rating to a single as-sessment. It is our expectation that this time will be used to set up a task force of qualified practitioners to come up with a proposal for an evaluation system that makes sense for teachers, principals, students, and the State.

street sweeper, an emergency roadside assistance truck, and an industrial sized “clamper” truck typically used for leaf removal.

Children were free to explore the outsides and the insides of the vehicles, running their fingers over their tires, looking underneath the hoods, and get-ting behind the wheels to experience what a fireman sees out the windshield on his way to an emergency, or to get a sense of the incredible power of the street sweeper. Children and their par-ents also took turns riding a miniature train that circled the sprawling parking lot where the event was held behind

the Huguenot Memorial Church, locat-ed at the corner of Pelhamdale Avenue and Boston Post Road.

In addition to the many interest-ing vehicles, there were a number of craft tables set up, as well as a bouncy house, a merry-go-round and a giant inflatable slide in the shape of a Na-scar racer that was probably the most popular attraction of the day—if the lines of excited children in front of it were any indication. And of course there was food including hot dogs, delicious iced coffee, and fruit kebobs to keep the hungry attendees happy, along with raffle prizes like an Ama-

zon Kindle Fire and Shake Shack Gift cards.

Among the many sponsors of this year’s event were Meridian Risk Man-agement, McClellan Sotheby’s Realty, and De Cicco’s market.

The vehicle fair is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Huguenot Nursery School and helps provide chil-dren with visits from the aquarium and the zoo among other special learning opportunities.

Infusion Exposes Pelham to New Farm-to-Table Concept

BY KIMBERLY ROSELL

You’ll find some comfort in know-ing that Infusion is bringing a farm-to-table menu to Pelham. Local and regional farms in the area deliver fresh produce that can be served within hours of being harvested. By promoting this farm-to-table concept, Infusion en-forces the importance of caring about where their clientele’s food comes from, as well as the fresh, healthy quality of their meals.

Alex Zuluaga, managing partner of Infusion, set out to taste the difference between processed foods vs. organic foods for himself. He sampled a variety of processed and naturally raised foods at a restaurant in Tarrytown. He immediately concluded that there is a significant dif-ference -- not only in the taste and qual-

ity -- but the naturally raised meals were superior in nutrition as well. “You can tell right away, that there is a serious differ-ence in terms of taste and quality, not just health,” stated Zuluaga.

Zuluaga began working to incorpo-rate the farm-to-table concept into Infu-sion’s menu. Infusion is currently form-ing relationships with local and regional farms, such as Harvest Moon Farm and Sugar Hill Farm, in Westchester County and other nearby areas in order to get fresh produce. Along with the farm-to-table concept, Infusion has instituted the sea-to-table idea. Sea-to-Table con-nects independent fishermen to restau-rants and provides their kitchens with fresh fish and seafood, which is shipped straight to the restaurant, fresh off the boat.

Infusion plans to use their devel-

oping farm-to-table system and tie it into their involvement with charity, in hopes of giving back to the community. Their goal is to create a position where a share of the proceeds from a meal go back to lo-cal charities. Infusion hopes to continue “growing” their community awareness and involvement, along with the farm-to-table system.

In describing the value of the farm-to-table concept, Alex Zuluaga said, “And what I realized is that it makes such a difference when animals are treated hu-manely, when plants are grown correctly, when they’re really given the care that they need to grow and develop. It has a very big impact, on not only how healthy the animal is, but the quality of let’s say the beef or the quality of the vegetable that is produced.”

Powerful Screening and Discussion of “The Hunting Ground” Held at the Picture House

A screening and panel discussion of The Hunting Ground, a documentary about sexual assault on college campuses, was co-sponsored tonight by Pelham’s Com-munity Care Center, The Women’s Empowerment Club, PACT and The Pelham Picture House. Thanks to the support of many of the PMHS teachers, guidance coun-selors and coaches, the event was very well attended by PMHS students. Clay Bushong moderated the post-film discussion with three panelists, who each added valuable experience and insight: Rebecca Zipkin, an attorney for Sanctuary for Families, who represents victims of sexu-al assault; Megan Wilen, a social worker in Lehman Col-lege’s Counseling Center, who educates students about healthy relationships and issues of consent; and Luke Hellum, PMHS Class of 2015, who just completed his freshman year at Yale University. The discussion focused on the critical issue of consent in sexual relationships, how alcohol affects the ability to consent, different ways bystanders can intervene in risky situations, and individuals’ ability to promote a culture of healthy and respectful relationships.

The Community Care Center recognizes Lori Carlton, Leah Tahbaz and Irene Morfit of The Community Care Cen-ter; Maria Morrissey and Julia Glickman of The Women’s Empowerment Club; Virginia Hartmere and Kimberly Green from PACT; and Clay Bushong of The Pelham Picture House for their work in organizing this event and making it a huge success. The Hunting Ground is currently available on Netflix.

JEANNINE CLARK, PRINCIPAL, PELHAM MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL

In the past few weeks the Village of Pelham has been working closely with the Pelham Public Schools in creating ways to improve pedestrian safety on Colonial Avenue in front of our school. Recently you might have no-ticed additional signs, wider crosswalks and a newly paint-ed grid at the intersection.

In fact, you will notice a new painted area, “Drop Off Zone.” As of May 31, families have been able to drop off

children in this designated area. This will be a defined drop off area for students along the North side of Co-lonial Avenue in front of the school. We strongly encour-age all families to ONLY use this designated area to drop off children and not use the South side of Colonial Avenue as a drop off or Corlies Avenue near the faculty parking lot. In fact, new street signs have been installed along the South side of Colonial Avenue indi-cating: No parking, stopping or standing.

As a few reminders:* Driving speed in a school

zone is 15 miles per hour during school days from 7AM– 6PM.

* No left turn from Colonial Avenue to Corlies Avenue on school days from 7AM-

4PM.* Use only defined cross-

walks when crossing the street. We have found some students crossing Colonial Avenue near Stellar Avenue which is a very dangerous intersection since there is no crosswalk at that inter-section.

* DO NOT use the circle as a short cut from Corlies Av-enue to Colonial Avenue. This also poses an incredi-bly dangerous situation for our students.

In the interest of our stu-dents’ safety we ask that you follow all New York State Vehi-cle and Traffic laws around a school zone. We will continue to work in partnership with the Village of Pelham as we try to improve student safety around our school.

Pedestrian Safety Improved Around School

Pelham PACT’s Year In ReviewOn Wednesday, May 25,

the Community Advisory Fo-rum of the Pelham PACT Coa-lition met to discuss the year in review, as well as future plans for the organization.

Coalition Director Virgin-ia Hartmere, who is stepping down at the end of the month, shared highlights from the past “busy and successful” year. For its ongoing programs, PACT honored 18 students through its HOPP Award; launched a new website; and created and sold the annual Community Calen-dar, raising close to $9,000 for the organization.

Meanwhile, students were active with PACT initiatives, starting with the 2015 summer interns, who did research and a feasibility study about having a physical teen center in Pelham. After the summer internship program ended, PACT’s Youth Leadership Council continued the work, hosting a town hall about the idea in October and continuing to do research and plan events with an adult-led action team. This work will con-tinue with the 2016 PACT sum-mer interns (applications now open!).

In December, PACT also hosted its first Middle School Leadership Summit, where 90 7th and 8th graders participat-ed in a daylong session, work-ing with 12 high school student leaders and community mem-bers. Many of the discussions started during the Summit—re-lated to issues such as academic

and social stress and technology addiction—have continued on in the classroom.

On the resource front, PACT introduced a new cam-paign called “We Connect. It Matters,” designed to provide information for parents about how to talk to their kids about substance use around holidays and milestones. That initiative, which started for Halloween 2015, will continue throughout the year. For Marijuana Aware-ness Month in February, PACT did a big push, sharing facts on social media and including ar-ticles in all of the papers. And on April 20, the Westchester Coalition for Drug and Alcohol Free Youth, in partnership with more than 20 coalitions and municipalities throughout the county, including Pelham, re-claimed 4/20—known as a day for getting high—as Healthy Teen Brain Day with a news con-ference.

Overall, the organization has also stayed active within the community: hosting several events with The Picture House; promoting the new permanent prescription drop boxes at the police stations; and supporting programs such as DARE, the Y2Y Club at PMHS, and the dis-trict’s Wellness Task Force.

“All of these initiatives demonstrate that the collec-tive work we do to support our kids is working,” Virginia said. “I have seen a big difference in how many organizations are re-ceptive to supporting our teens,

thinking about our teens and trying to incorporate them in a positive way.”

PACT also introduced Kimberly Green, who started as the social marketing manager at PACT in April. Board President Kit Meyer introduced the orga-nization’s new strategic plan, which has been in the works for a year. The plan takes PACT through the end of its federal grant, which runs out in 2018, and includes key goals to ensure PACT remains a sustainable or-ganization. Some of the main elements of the plan include an increased focus on youth de-velopment with a Youth Lead-ership Council and continued facilitation of the Pelham PACT Community Coalitions. PACT will be applying for its 501c3 sta-tus and incorporate fund devel-opment into its work.

“That will make our rela-tionship with the community even more important,” Kit said. “We have to secure the neces-sary financial resources to make these dreams a reality.” Please email [email protected] if you would like more informa-tion about the strategic plan.

Thanks again to coalition director Virginia Hartmere, and have a safe and healthy sum-mer!

PACT Internship Applications are Now Open

Calling all Pelham incoming teens ages 14 and up! PACT is now accepting applications for its Youth Leadership Council and Internship Program. Those chosen will work as paid interns 40 hours this summer starting in July, and unpaid volunteer hours during the school year.

Additionally, interns and Youth Leadership Council members are expected to attend YLC meetings throughout the school academic year. Interns and YLC members will gain both work and leadership experience through this program. The summer program seeks teens who are interested in giving input on community and teen issues, as well as add value and input to the next phases of creating a teen center in the community. Interns will have the opportunity to work with local schools, local organizations, other teens, adults, as well as have the opportunity to attend meaning-ful trainings. Successful applicants should be energetic, self-motivated and connected to the com-munity, with computer and social media skills a plus.

Deadline for applications is June 10, 2016. Applications can be found online here. Visit pelham-pact.org or email [email protected] with questions.

Dodgeball Tournament Benefits the Anthony Senerchia, Jr. ALS Charitable Foundation

SUBMITTED BY MELISSA RONAN

On Saturday, May 14th, Pelham Memorial High School’s Community Care Club hosted a dodgeball tournament to benefit the Anthony Senerchia, Jr. ALS Charitable Foundation. An-thony’s Foundation supports families stricken with ALS by providing financial assis-tance that empowers them to improve their quality of life. The Foundation is also com-mitted to leading the fight to treat and cure ALS by actively contributing to ALS research, education and awareness.The Foundation gives back to the Pelham community by pro-viding scholarships to high school seniors.

The dodgeball tour-nament, chaired by PMHS junior Jack Little and CCC Youth Board Chair Lori Carl-ton, was a huge success in terms of both participation and fundraising. Ninety high school students competed in

the tournament and raised a total of $3000. The two top fundraising teams were the Slumdodge Millionaires ($707) made up of Madelyn Dunbar, Lucy Conway, Helena White, Claudia Dodge, Sarah Guido and KP Boggs; and The Un-touchaballs ($643) made up of Lauren and Meredith Kuster, Ben Glickman, Maggie Solimi-ne, Michael Salama and Cris Moore. As the top fundraisers, the Slumdodge Millionaires received a gift certificate for dinner at Edo’s restaurant.

The tournament win-ners were the all-junior team of Ben Goldman, Amitabh Asokumar, Michael Anzilotti, Dan Vozza, Andrés Uriate and Liam Sefchick. Also attending the event, and inspiring the participants, were Anthony and his wife Jeanette, their daughter Taya, and other members of the Senerchia family.

Thank you to the four-teen teams who competed and to their friends, family

and teachers who support-ed them in raising money for Anthony’s Foundation. Thank you also to Mr. Tim Pitrulle and Mr. Mike Greene for offi-ciating, and to Ms. Clapp and Artie for assisting with the event. A special thank you to club sponsor, Ms. Nicole Waz-netsky, for all her hard work and support to make this tournament happen!

PCRA’s Spring SeasonPelham Community Rowing Association caps off spring season sending two boats to US Rowing Youth Nationals!

PCRA’s youth racing team made great strides through-out the spring season. Three medals at Mercer Sprints mo-tivated the athletes to make a strong showing at Long Is-land Rowing Championships, which they did. PCRA coaches launched 28 boats,13 of whom brought home medals!

Turning their eyes and training toward N.Y. States, (a US Rowing Youth Nationals qualifier) the team had im-pressive results in the first day of time trials. 18 of the boats launched made an A fi-nal and 5 made a Petite final. Unfortunately, strong winds halted racing on Sunday be-fore most of the boats raced in their finals, denying many of the boats a chance to med-al in head to head racing. Top finishes in time trials still resulted in medals for many of PCRA’s boats, two winning club gold and qualifying for US Rowing Youth Nationals.

New York State Champi-onship Medaling boats:

the scoring with an impressive first run down the left side line. Examples of solid team work were many, such as when Gorski almost made the goal line as his flag was pulled -- he then passed to Fisher in-time for a try. In the final moment, Karame passed to Gorski for a last minute try that won the game.

Rugby is becoming a re-ally big sport in town. Only the second year of varsity in the high school, and this Pel-ham Varsity team finished second in the National Rugby Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina, May 21st -- Pelham lost in the last three minutes to West End in an

aggressive 19-15 battle. They had advanced to the finals, by playing three full games in three days -- insanity.

Picture House Spring Soiree a Rousing SuccessThe Picture House’s Spring

Soirée fundraiser held on Fri-day, May 13th at the beautiful Hampshire Country Club in Ma-maroneck was an evening to re-member. Co-chairs Lisa Ahmad (Larchmont), Angelique Fran-cis (New Rochelle), and Melina Vourlekis (New Rochelle), with the help of a committee of vol-unteers from all over Southern Westchester, created a highly successful event that was en-joyed by over 200 guests.

Guests kicked-off the

night with cocktails overlooking the Sound and a silent auction, followed by dinner, a rousing live auction and paddle raise, and fascinating speeches by the event’s honorees, community leader Eric Salmeron, Academy Award-winning writer/director Paul Haggis, and stage and screen legend Cicely Tyson. During din-ner, Tony Award winning actress and singer LaChanze (Once on This Island, The Color Purple) entertained guests with a med-ley of songs.

Picture House critic-in-res-idence, Marshall Fine was the emcee for the Spring Soirée and led the presentation of the Har-old Lloyd awards, named after the famous actor and filmmaker. Actress, advocate, and human-itarian Cicely Tyson was pre-sented the Harold Lloyd Lifetime Achievement Award. In her ac-ceptance speech, Ms. Tyson rem-inisced about her own and the lo-cal theater she would sneak into as a young girl. She thanked The Picture House for being a cultur-

al center for youth in Westches-ter. Paul Haggis, who, in 2006, became the first screenwriter to write two consecutive Best Picture Oscar winners - Million Dollar Baby (Best Picture 2006) directed by Clint Eastwood, and Crash (Best Picture 2005) which Haggis also directed, received the Harold Lloyd Film Visionary. Eric Q. Salmeron, a long-time Westchester community sup-porter and Picture House Board member was given the Harold Lloyd Commitment to Commu-

nity Award. In addition to the evening’s

guests and donors, the Spring Soiree was supported by Screen-writer Level Sponsors: Meridian Risk Management/Joan Solimine Real Estate and Cinematographer Level Sponsors: R&S Waste Man-agement and Louise and Tom Middleton. This year’s Invitation was sponsored by McClellan So-theby’s International Realty.

Left to right: James Palmisciano, Angelique Frances, Melina Vourlekis, Paul Haggis, Cicely Tyson, Eric Salmeron, Lisa Ahmad and Laura DeBuys.

Proceeds from the Spring Soiree —including the money raised via two pairs of Hamilton tickets in the live auction— will help further preserve the 1921 theatre and enable The Picture House to pursue its mission to create a shared community ex-perience for diverse audiences through film, education pro-gramming, and unique cultural offerings.

Matthew Spana on his Eagle Scout project. Mr. Spana is a Life Scout of Troop 1 Pel-ham. He proposed to uti-lize Four Corners Park in an effort to help revitalize the town. Thoughtfully, he provided various details of his plan:• Replace the wood on the

benches;• Replace/fix the trash

bins, damaged due to weather;

• Repaint the police booth and fix small damages to it;

• Properly edge the drive-

ways near the police booth;

• Remove the planter to re-wood the area and replant as needed; flower beds would be realigned and redesigned along the cen-tral way and Esplanade.

“We can use this green space to revitalize and reha-bilitate this small town,” said Mayor Jennifer Monachino Lapey, as she receives ongo-ing comments to do so from Pelham residents. Trustee Angela DeLillo suggested that objects be placed with handicapped accessibility in

mind -- a challenge, but one that Mr. Spana is confident his project can meet. The Eagle Scout concluded that fundraising will be possible to secure materials, sup-plies, and donations.

audience in the 1700s, depict-ing the fatal consequences of being consumed by envy and greed.

Back in the late 90s, SOOP Theatre initially be-gan as a professional the-ater company in New York. They produced Off Broadway original pieces with profes-sionally casted actors and directors. Later, when SOOP Theatre came to Pelham, they branched off towards the educational side of theater, providing opportunities to children in Pelham who were interested in acting and sing-ing. Amadeus is SOOP The-atre’s reappearance in profes-sional theater since the 90s, when the company was first created.

Along with skilled ac-tors and actresses, SOOP Theatre’s production staff did a remarkable job in de-veloping the surreptitious atmosphere of Amadeus. The

production was directed by Francesco Campari, and its staff consisted of many other talented professionals. From the incredible lighting and sound effects to the old-fash-ioned costume design, SOOP Theatre unveiled a power-fully dramatic performance for all to enjoy. “I really en-joyed working with everyone in this group. And everyone brought their own character and energy to it, which made it work so well,” stated Betti-na Schwabe, an actress who described her experience in Amadeus. Bettina is origi-nally from Berlin, Germany and appeared in Amadeus as Katherina Cavalieri.

After producing so many children’s theater shows, SOOP Theater’s Amadeus brings professional theater to Pelham in a fresh and new way for people to experience. When asked what producing Amadeus was like in compar-

ison to other youth produc-tions in the past, Michele Ro-manello, Associate Producer, responded, “Definitely differ-ent. So, you know, you’re deal-ing with adults. It just makes a whole world of difference. Typically, with our younger kid’s productions, we’re doing two casts and it’s very much directed and worked at their level, to truly bring profes-sional elements to children’s theater.”

SOOP Theatre Company plans to continue exposing Pelham to professional theat-rical productions while still producing children’s shows at the Manor Club. Paul Ro-manello, artistic director and actor who performed as Anto-nio Salieri, stated “If we could do one or two of these here a year, on top of the kid’s pro-grams that we offer, I think it would be wonderful.”

Dedicated Fans Proudly Support Pelham High School Varsity Rugby Team at Rockwell’s

BY KIMBERLY ROSELL

On May 21, Pelham Rug-by supporters went to Rock-well’s to cheer on the Pelham High School Var-sity Rugby Team in the National Championships. Nearly 80 par-ents, family mem-bers, siblings, and friends attended the televised event to encourage and support the team.

Pelham com-peted against West End through ex-cessively wet and muddy con-ditions, yet both teams played with great vigor. Both teams proved to be well matched, which made for an even more nerve-wracking and intense game. Town supporters yelled and cheered in the back room of Rockwell’s, following the excitement every step of the way.

Even though Pelham lost against West End, they fought fiercely through poor weath-

er conditions. Pelhamites are especially proud to congratu-late Pelham Rugby on making it as far as they have, while the team is only in their sec-

ond year as an official Varsity Rugby Team. Colleen Walsh, their fitness trainer said, “I am so very proud of how they represented Pelham and they should be very proud of them-selves.”

Delighted rugby parents mentioned how the players were very deserving of the opportunity to go to Nation-als. They work hard and train year-round, and are incredi-bly dedicated to their sport.

Also, their teamwork and co-hesiveness on the field great-ly reflects their reliance and trust for one another. Timmy Ward, former Pelham Rugby

alum said, “It makes me really proud to see the guys on the field, giving it their all. Be-cause when I was playing for Pelham, we were scraping up numbers just to make a team, so seeing them on TV and at Nationals; it’s really a good feeling.”

Although Pelham placed second in the championships, they went home victorious in their tenacious efforts, proud-ly supported by their town.

Now, I’m not saying that ev-erything made in America is great, in fact some of our stuff could stand a little room for improvement, but at least there are some government standards to adhere to.

Special Needs Trusts: What happens when all parties do not see eye to eye?

BY BERNARD A. KROOKS, CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

The world of special needs trusts is divided in two: first par-ty special needs trusts and third party special needs trusts. Within each category, there are several dif-ferent variations, including pooled trusts, which are managed by a non-profit organization. Regard-less of the type of special needs trust; they all have one thing in common: they provide a source of funds to pay for items and services that improve the quality of life of a person with special needs.

All trusts, including special needs trusts, must have a trust-ee. The choice of who to select as trustee is made by the person cre-ating the trust. In a special needs trust situation, the selection of the proper trustee is often the key to the success of the entire plan. The role of trustee can be served by a family member or by a bank or trust company or other pro-fessional trustee. Many people who set up special needs trusts name professional trustees. Fam-ily members are often unfamiliar with the applicable trust, tax and government benefit laws that may impact the administration of the

trust. Trustees of a special needs trust are required to consider the needs of the trust beneficiary first — not the needs or desires of fam-ily members.

One of the challenges to a trustee of a special needs trust is to maximize the benefits to the beneficiary while minimizing any reduction of Medicaid, Supple-mental Security Income or other programs providing assistance or care to the beneficiary. The trust-ee also has to keep administrative costs, accounting requirements and tax considerations in mind. The trustee is a fiduciary and could be held responsible in the event things are not handled prop-erly. Courts are starting to hold trustees of special needs trusts to a higher standard.

To avoid unnecessary expense and litigation, it is im-portant that the trust contain a mechanism for resolving disputes between the trustee and the fam-ily members of the beneficiary. Often, the beneficiary is not able to speak for himself and the fam-ily members serve the role of en-suring the trustee is doing its job. However, in the world of govern-ment benefits and special needs trusts, there are many gray areas

and reasonable people can differ regarding the appropriateness of a trust distribution. Thus, the need for a clearly-defined dispute reso-lution process in the trust.

It can be a challenge to fig-ure out how best to manage and spend special needs trust funds for a trust beneficiary with consid-erable medical and social needs. A good working relationship be-tween trustee and family mem-bers is critical.

Buying Products from a Country You can TrustBY PAUL BOOKBINDER, M.I.D., C.R.

Forget about sleeper cells and the dangerous “lone wolves”. What’s really going to do us in is the dreaded imports that are slow-ly killing us, just as sure as a direct attack on our homeland. They’re putting arsenic in our orange juice, lead in our kid’s toys, and there’s even sulfur in our sheetrock. God only knows what’s in the cabinets. U.S. health regulators have re-cently reported that certain types of laminate flooring imported by Lumber Liquidators was found to have a greater risk of causing cancer, or other health problems, than previously believed. They said that “people who purchased the China-made flooring are about three times more likely to get cancer than it had calculated ear-lier this month.” And yet we keep importing products and produce from countries that do not regu-late their manufacturing.

So really, what’s the big deal? Where’s the harm in a little arse-nic, or lead, or hydrogen sulfide gas, when you can save a couple of bucks? Haven’t you heard? We’re still recovering from the reces-sion. Our health and well being is a small price to pay when you’re

talking about saving money. But if you are concerned

about avoiding the perils of haz-ardous material exposure when eating, buying toys, homes or remodeling you must use your common sense (see K&B Insider #123, Common Sense, Priceless!). The best way to begin is by reading labels, assuming you still can read after exposure to all those noxious fumes. If not, have your BFF (Best Friend Forever) read the label for you. If the product does not have a label, ask the proprietor for a Material Data Safety Sheet, which lists the properties (both harmful and inert) of the product.

In the remodeling indus-try, most cabinet and countertop manufacturers have been making a concerted effort to clean up their act. Now you can purchase Amer-ican made cabinets that have little or no harmful ingredients, such as volatile organic compounds, at very competitive prices; although they will never be as inexpensive as cabinets made in countries where the average hourly wage is less than a (US) dollar.

Some of these same coun-tries sell granite counters with high levels of radon, a cancer caus-ing, radioactive gas. Just shut off

Girl in Transit: Wyoming – Where Rugged Meets Refined

BY BARBARA BARTON SLOANE

Why oh why Wyoming? Be-cause! From Jackson Hole in the West to Buffalo in the Northeast and everything in between, this is a most beautiful land of staggering natural beauty, offering an authentic Western experience. From its two national parks, Yellow-stone and Grand Teton, to rodeos, river rafting, resorts, ranches, scenic woodlands and a wonder-land of wildlife, Wyoming is nature experienced up close and very personal.

I visited Wyoming for the first time last year and was delighted to find that the town of Jackson is the gateway to nearby Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone Nation-al Park and the National Elk Refuge. Often described as the “Crown Jewel” of the Rockies, downtown Jackson is dotted with upscale cafes, shops and art galler-ies and enjoys the glitz and glam-our that wealthy travelers and West Coast expats have brought to this former cattle ranching community. But, glitz aside, I vis-ited Jackson Hole’s Old West Days weekend celebration and the event put me smack in the heart of the old romantic west.

In Jackson, besides Old West Days, there’s a lot more hootin’ and hollerin’ to be done. For an authen-tic chuck wagon supper and west-ern show, visit the Bar J Chuck wagon. Originally a working cattle ranch, the atmosphere here is of a time gone by on and of cattle drives of the 1800s. After a hard day in the saddle, there was always an evening of tall tales and music at the chuck wagon. This tradition continues at the Bar-J. A rib-stickin’ old style western meal is followed by songs and stories per-formed by the Bar-J Wranglers. I found myself caught up in cheery chuck wagon revelry, singing along to “Tumblin’ Tumbleweed” and other western golden oldies.

Another day, I took a scenic float down the Snake River with Sands Wild Water River Trips, a must-do. Although this company offers wild white water rafting, I opted for a slow, leisurely raft float, my chance to sit back and let my-self be enthralled by spectacular views of the majestic Teton Moun-tains surrounding me. Although the Snake is a very fast-moving river, on my float I spotted a red fox and deep in the pines I saw a large black splotch with jutting white

spikes that our guide swore was a moose. There were two bald ea-gles swooping low over the water and hawks and herons were our constant companions as they flew alongside our raft.

Not yet having my fill of wild-

life, I visited the National Museum of Wildlife Art, an imaginatively designed sandstone bldg overlook-ing the National Elk Refuge with a 5000 piece collection of animal art ranging from the fantastical to the utterly realistic and including sev-eral etchings by Picasso. There’s also a Children’s Discovery Gallery, free to kids, and judging from the squeals of delight emanating from the room, it’s safe to say the kids were having a blast.

At A-Ok Corral, no gunfights here but cowboy fun? Yes, lots. From the back of my chestnut colored mare (promised to be slow and steady) I had a panoramic view of the heart-stopping Gros Ventre Wilderness and Teton mountain range, the fields ablaze with pink, yellow and purple wildflowers. All of the horses at A-Ok Corral are well-mannered and moun-tain-wise and there’s a horse here for all riding abilities. After all, they even found one for me.

There are a host of world-class, luxury resorts here, and I was lucky enough to visit a few of them. At Amangani, (“peaceful home”), eastern serenity meets Old West Americana meets inter-national glamour. The property clings to the crest of east Gros Ven-tre Butte, some 7,000 feet above sea level, high above Jackson. Towering floor to ceiling columns of Oklahoma sandstone, walks in pacific redwoods and chairs of rattan and woven cowhide, Aman-gani has its roots the American West, in the cattle ranches that wind through the valley below and in the mountains that rise up as a backdrop to wide-open plains. Lo-cated in a secluded valley, the vibe

here is casual and the amenities rival any luxe resort on the plan-et. There’s a heated infinity pool, a sigh-inducing Asian spa, and a restaurant that produces standout fare. In my mystical, Zen-inspired room, I lit a fire, opened the drapes

and languished in the bathtub while gazing at the sky and the Tetons beyond.

Spring Creek Ranch is utter-ly secluded yet totally accessible with unmatched views, luxury accommodations and a quiet western elegance situated just five miles from the Town Square on a 1,000 acre wildlife refuge. I dined at their award-winning Granary Restaurant in a unique, cliff-side setting facing the Tetons. So mes-merized was I by the awe-inspir-ing views, I almost forgot to order dinner but glad I didn’t. It was wonderful.

Common to Jackson, the Buteo jamaicensis, Red Tailed Hawk, is easily identified by its mannerisms. They usually leave their perch with slow, distinct wing beats. A shrill, rasping cry is often heard as they fly off to search their prey. No shrill cry for me, just a melancholy sigh as I slowly and sadly leave my perch here in mag-ical, wondrous Wyoming.

Spring Concerts by Elementary School MusiciansBY YASMIN JORGE

Each May students from

our four elementary schools celebrate their musical abil-ities during annual spring concerts. Par-ents and family friends enjoy an evening of songs played by young mu-sicians (Fourth and Fifth Grad-ers) in band and orchestra, followed by vocalists in cho-rus.

Band Conductor Mad-ison Martineau led the chil-dren for Swearingen’s A Song

for Peace, which created a relaxing opening for the au-dience. They then played Strauss’ Waltz for Band and Water Glasses, a challeng-ing piece as percussionists

tapped glasses of water in-stead of instruments. They finished with Chicago’s 25 Or 6 To 4, a cool rock number

that surely delighted dads and moms.

Orchestra Director Mar-cia Bean led the children for Stoutamire & Henderson’s

bluesy Cinnamon. The tradi-tional fiddle tune Sourwood Mountain enabled improvisa-tional solos among the string players. The segment ended with Telemann’s Telemann

Sinfonia, which always proves a favorite among the classes, according to Ms. Bean.

At Colonial School, Di-

rectors Pamela Brinkman and Rami Vamos led the chorus through various songs that ended the program. Of note, singers performed Persever-

ance, a tune penned by Mr. Vamos that included kid-re-lated rap passages; and Sansa Kroma. This is an uplifting traditional African folk song that fea-tured world drums -- funded for all schools by The Pelham Education

Foundation.Be sure to contact your

local elementary school to en-roll your aspiring musicians, Third through Fifth Graders are eligible.
