BY EMORY DEYOUNG

The Pelham Chamber of Com-merce has announced that Clayton Bushong has assumed the position of President of the organization. Over the past few years, the Pelham Busi-ness District has seen it’s ups and downs. As a result, the Pelham Cham-ber of Commerce lost members and

activity suffered. Joe Solimine Jr., the founder and president of Meridian Risk Management, led the Chamber for the last three years. He will stay on as a Board Director and provide administrative support. Bushong has been an active member of the Cham-ber as Director of the Technology Committee and acting as a non-prof-it liaison. He already has a plan to

breathe new life into the Chamber as well as the business district of Pel-ham.

Bushong and his family have lived in Pelham for the past thirteen years. He is an owner of the Mexican restaurant, Cantina Lobos (cantin-alobos.com), with a stunning interior and great drinks. “I was sick of going to other towns for good Mexican food

and an authentic experience,” Clay shared. “There was a large enough hole in town for what we were offer-ing and so, a lot of people were excited about it.”

Bushong is also the Director of Programming, Marketing and Oper-ations at The Picture House Regional Film Center (thepicturehouse.org), both in Pelham. He is committed to volunteering his time to a number of activities in Pelham such as founding the Westchester International Chil-dren’s Film Festival, helping to create the Pelham Half Marathon, coaching Pelham Travel Soccer, Pelham Rec-reational Soccer, Pelham Lacrosse, Elder of Huguenot Memorial Church and more.

Naturally, the Chamber Board offered the position of Chamber Pres-ident to Bushong and he gladly ac-cepted it. He believes his main role as Chamber President is to be the cheer-leader of the Commercial District in Pelham and to make sure they’re all working towards a common goal. “We’re here to support businesses as much as possible with marketing

strategies, with their own marketing, awareness, and supporting them if there’s a problem.”

With all the new apartment buildings popping up around town, Bushong is excited about the poten-tial of new customers they will bring to Pelham. He understands that run-ning a business can be difficult, and is willing to pull support from as many places as he can. “There’s so many smart people that don’t own busi-nesses but would love to participate in helping them. Business strategists and finance guys and a lot of digital marketing people in town have of-fered to help point them in the right direction. You’d basically have a col-lective bank of knowledge that all the stores in the area can pull from and get ideas.”

While Bushong is enthusiastic about jumpstarting the Chamber, only a fraction of businesses have re-mained members during the decline in activity. However, the new Presi-dent isn’t letting that get in his way. He already has a plan to bring back

Dear Pelham Parents, Faculty, Staff, and Students,

I am thrilled to announce that I will be recommending Ms. Lynn Sabia to be appointed as the next principal of Pelham Middle School effective July 1, 2018. Ms. Sabia’s appointment is expected at the Board of Education’s upcoming meeting on Wednesday, June 20 at 8:15 pm in the Middle School Library.

The search for Dr. Robert Roelle’s suc-cessor included screening more than 100 ap-plicants and conducting interviews with 17 candidates. Six finalists were brought back to meet with focus groups of students, parents, teachers, and administrators. At each step in the process, including her final interview with the Board of Education, Ms. Sabia’s experience, understanding of Middle School philosophy, and commitment to child-centered education set her above her competitors. With experi-ence in both the middle school and high school, I believe Ms. Sabia is uniquely qualified to help prepare our students for their transition to high school and beyond.

We are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to hire an extremely qualified candidate who is so very familiar not only with Pelham Middle School, but the entire Pelham community. Over the past year, I have come to know Ms. Sabia as an educator who is diligent, caring, trustworthy and someone who cares deeply about the growth of our students, not only in their academic pursuits, but as young men and women. I am confident that Ms. Sabia’s leadership will provide both stability and progress for Pelham Middle School, which will serve our students and staff well.

“From my very first days as a student-teacher in Pelham, I have felt a connection to this District and this community,” said Ms. Sabia. “It was a dream come true to return as assistant principal of the high school where I worked with Jeannine Clark and to spend the last eight years working alongside Joe Longobardi and Dr. Roelle in the middle school. Together, we have worked hard to improve our educational program, strengthen our social-emotional supports, and create an incredible experi-ence for our students. I am honored by the opportunity to lead Pelham Middle School and look for-ward to serving the students, parents and staff next school year and beyond. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Champ, the Board of Education, and the Pelham community for this exciting opportunity.”

Ms. Sabia has served as Assistant Principal of Pelham Middle School since 2010 and previous-ly held the same position at Pelham Memorial High School dating back to 2005. Throughout her 13 years in Pelham, Ms. Sabia has worked collaboratively to develop and implement a number of school and district initiatives that form the core of our educational program. These include the In-ternational Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme, the PMHS Bridge program, social-emotional supports such as the trusted-adult initiative and implementing performance-based assessments.

As Assistant Principal, she has also worked to oversee New York State ELA, Math, NYSETL and Regents Exams, mentored new teachers, overseen student discipline and the implementation of the PBIS program. She has also served as a member of the Superintendent’s Advisory Council, Mathematics Review Committee, Instructional Support Team, Response to Intervention Team, IB Steering Committee, and Site-based Council.

“I am excited and incredibly pleased that Lynn Sabia will lead Pelham Middle School as the next principal,” said Dr. Roelle, “Lynn is a passionate leader who will always keep the best interests of all children at the heart of every decision. She is collaborative and inclusive and I am confident that she will work closely with the entire Pelham Middle School community as she prepares the next generation of students for their futures.”

Prior to coming to Pelham, Ms. Sabia was an Assistant Principal at Woodlands Middle/High School and Maria Regina High School, where she also served as the Assistant Director of Athletics and as a Health Education Teacher. She has previously been Director of Athletics and Physical Ed-ucation at Greenburgh-North Castle Union Free School District. Ms. Sabia has an Advanced Certif-icate in School Administration from Manhattan College, a M.A. in Physical Education, Athletic Ad-ministration and Coaching from Montclair State University, and a B.S. in Physical Education from The King’s College.

With Ms. Sabia’s promotion, we will now begin the process of searching for the next assistant principal of Pelham Middle School and look forward to filling other key administrative positions in the coming weeks.

Please join me in congratulating Ms. Sabia on her new role as Principal of Pelham Middle School.

Sincerely, Cheryl Champ, Ed. D.Superintendent of Schools

Dear Pelham Parents and Community Members,

Each and every day, our teachers strive to educate our stu-dents on how to be good citizens in the world in which we live. I am disheartened to share with you that despite these efforts there have been recent instances of concerning and hateful behavior. Specifically, some students have been overheard using racial ep-ithets and separately a swastika was found scratched into a bath-room stall. These hateful acts simply have no place in our society, and especially not within our school buildings.

Although these incidents have been largely contained within the middle school, I chose to share this with our entire school com-munity so that we can continue to work together to reinforce the message to all of our children that we reject intolerance and bigotry and that instead our expectation is that we welcome, embrace, and celebrate diversity in our schools and community in all of its many facets.

Please know that our administration conducted thorough in-vestigations into each of these matters and those who were found responsible were disciplined appropriately under the process set forth in the District’s Code of Conduct.

As a District, we take our efforts with regard to diversity and inclusion extremely seriously, yet sometimes, in rare instanc-es such as these, it is not enough. To further equip ourselves as a school community in the coming year we have planned training in Cultural Proficiency, which will be facilitated by Campbell Jones & Associates. This training will be provided to a cohort of teach-ers, administrators and parents at each of our six schools, as well as at the District level. We also anticipate including some middle and high school students. We believe this will not only advance our efforts to create a more inclusive and supportive learning en-vironment for our faculty and students, but also will allow us to build capacity and deepen our systemic approach to honoring and celebrating our diversity as outlined in the District’s Strategic Plan.

I look forward to continuing to work with our students, staff, administration, parents and community to develop ways in which we can better foster the inclusive culture that we strive to achieve.

Cheryl Champ, Ed. D., Superintendent of Schools

101 Wolfs Lane Development Recurring Concern to Many Village Citizens

BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

The 101 Wolfs Lane Devel-opment Public Hearing proved to be a source of recurring con-cern to many Village of Pelham citizens attending the Tuesday, June 12th Board of Trustees meeting at the Daronco Town House.

Attorney Seth Mandel-baum; McCullough, Goldberger and Staudt, White Plains rep-resenting MatriArch Develop-ment denoted the conversion of a vacant lot on 101 Wolfs Lane into 58 Transit Oriented Development (TOD) residential

units, featuring a new 71-space parking garage, ground floor retail space and pedestrian ar-cade walkway from Wolfs Lane to Village Parking Lot 7.

“The Business District Floating Zone (BDFZ) allows for denser development in the Downtown Area,” Mandelbaum observed. Michael Tribe, Design Partner in Charge, Gisolfi Associ-ates added that the target market is “empty nesters” and young professionals/millennials.

Tina Lund, Urbanom-ics, BFJ Planning stated that assessed market value of the property was $14,990,030; total

tax value that will be achieved is estimated at $630,069; and taxes attributed to the Pelham School District are estimated at $394,434.

Many residents expressed concern that the project would create traffic problems on Sparks Avenue and have a neg-ative impact on the school dis-trict. Manning Circle resident Todd Cross said that Sparks Av-enue is the only access to their homes plus it is an entrance to Hutchinson Parkway; Hutchin-son Parkway construction detour reroutes traffic down Sparks Avenue and Pelham emergency responders enter

Pelham Civic Association Gives $27,000 in Community Awards!

For the 29th consecu-tive year, on June 6, 2018 at the Pelham Memorial Mid-dle School Gym, the Pelham Civic Association presented their community awards to local high school students who demonstrate enthusiasm and motivation in the areas of community service, charita-ble support, civic leadership, and creativity in service. This year’s awards totaled $27,000.

These hallmarks make up the very culture of the Pelham Civics and are the traits valued and recognized in the Pelham Civic Asso-ciation members in whose name these awards are given. The objective is to recognize students who not only excel academically, but also volun-teer their time and talent to worthwhile causes to assist others.

The 2018 Pelham Civic Awards and Winners included:

The Vincent J. Lopardi Community Service Award to Karla Pennetta

Mr. Lopardi (1904-1994) was one of the founding fathers of the Pelham Civic Associa-tion, serving two separate terms as president. He was a living monument of community pride and unselfish support to his neighbors. Appro-priately, a $10,000 award is presented to a grad-uating high school senior residing in Pelham, who best exemplifies the same civic pride and community spirit.

The Camillo J. D’Urso Charitable Support Award to Samuel Imperato

Mr. D’Urso (1929-1986) was a Pelham Civic Association member for almost 20 years, do-nating countless hours and financial help to charitable causes. As chairman of D’Urso su-permarkets and president of Key Food Stores Co-operative, he was the recipient of many hu-manitarian awards. To perpetuate the memory of his membership in our association, $8,000 will be presented to a high school, college or graduate student who resides in Pelham, and who best exemplifies leadership and support in charitable work.

The Joseph L. Nunziata Award for Creativity and Service to Kiera Mallinson

This award is named for a current member. Mr. Nunziata uses his creative talents in many ways, both locally and nationally. He created a Memorial Day brochure that earned him nation-al recognition and a nomination for a “National Point of Light” from former president George H. Bush. He was named the Pelham Civic Associa-tion Man of the Year in 1998. The Joseph L. Nun-ziata award is an award for Creativity and Ser-vice and recognizes a student for outstanding

spirit and imagination and artistic talent used in the service of the community. The award is in the amount of $2,500.

The Honorable Richard J. Daronco Civic Leadership Award to Violet Massie-Vereker

Judge Daronco was an active member of our organization for almost 30 years. He was honored as the Pelham Civics Man of the Year in 1974 and in 1987, former President Ronald Rea-gan appointed Judge Daronco to the bench of the United States District Court. At that time he was the youngest appointee in history. The Hon-orable Richard J. Daronco award is presented to a Pelham High School junior class student who best personifies civic leadership and responsi-bility along with the ideals and principals of the late Judge. The award includes an expense-paid trip to serve as the Pelham representative to the Model Congress or Model United Nations pro-gram with expenses paid up to $1,500.

The Anthony J. Senerchia Memorial Service Award to Nicholas Milanese and Henry Morjikian

This award is presented to graduating high school seniors residing in Pelham, NY who demonstrate strong community service by giv-ing back to the community, with an emphasis on helping students reach their full potential whether through teaching/assisting younger students with after school programs, activities, studies or equivalent. The awards are $2000 each.

The Philip J. Colicchio Award for Lead-ership to Henry Driesen is also named for a current member. Mr. Colicchio is a man who personifies the virtues of effective leadership, devoting boundless energy and time to the com-

The Pelham Civic Associa-tion honored him in 1995 by naming him Man of the Year and in 2003 the United Way of Pelham named him as their Man of the Year. The Philip J. Colicchio award for leadership is presented each year to the incoming PMHS president of the student association. The award is $1,000.

Michael Ming, Co-Chair of the Pelham Civ-ics Community Awards Committee added, “The

success of this program is largely due to the con-tinued generosity of our community during our fundraising season in the Fall. This allows us to grant significant awards to the deserving stu-dents.” Darrell Walsh, also Co-Chair, continued, “Each year our committee does its due diligence of preparation by reviewing the many applica-tions and interviewing prospective award recip-ients.”

Nutmeg Café Brings Artisanal Baking, Craft Foods to Tuckahoe

You may recognize Cindy from her years working at Farmers Markets around the county in Bronxville, Irvington and Scarsdale, selling her sig-nature goods under the ‘What’s for Dessert?’ brand. When requests for her cakes and pies outgrew her home kitchen, she leased commercial space in Yon-kers for her baking. When she moved into her ren-ovated shop in Tuckahoe in September 2016, she brought all her production to the Nutmeg kitchen. Her daily menu items are all prepared fresh on the premises.

Nutmeg Café opened on Main Street in Tuck-ahoe offering Westchester a titillating variety arti-sanal baked goods, craft foods and beverages for eat-in and take-out. It created quite a stir. A steady stream of patrons have been flocking in.

Proprietor and creative force behind Nutmeg is Cindy Bothwell, who grew up in beautiful Napa Valley, California surrounded by family-owned fruit orchards, independent farms and wineries. It was these idyllic surroundings, and a little help from watching Grandma in the kitchen, that pro-vided her with an appreciation of fresh farm-to-ta-ble ingredients and the early skills to produce her delicious culinary repertoire. She is often joined by her husband Noel.

The Café is warm and inviting. It has WiFi. It is a comfortable ambiance. There is seating for up to 25, soft background music, exposed brick walls and display cases filled to the brim with the tempting daily larder. Sample tastings are always available at the counter.

Bothwell calls her way of cooking and baking: “American home-style rustic”. While her offerings

change regularly, you can always find Cindy’s staple cakes, pies, tarts, muffins and cookies. Signature specialties include: chocolate, banana and coconut cream pie; classic apple pie; plum raspberry pie; chocolate bourbon pecan pie and baklava. One of her newest offerings are shortbread cookies in a variety of natural flavors. She also uses what’s in season to prepare her delicious quiches and scones.

Fresh made soups, salads and sandwiches were recently added to Nutmeg’s menu and posted daily on the blackboard: delectable cheddar scal-lion scones; caramelized onion & gruyere crostada; and cauliflower, leek & Asiago quiche.

Nutmeg’s new line of Shortbread Cookies have been designated among the ‘Best of Westchester 2018’ by Westchester Magazine.

Delightful beverages include such exclusive artisanal makers as Joe’s Coffee out or Brooklyn. Cindy’s manager Mario Sama also makes his own small-batch Custom Cold Brew coffees and teas on-site.

Nutmeg Café (aka: What’s For Dessert?) is lo-cated at 64 Main Street, Tuckahoe, N.Y., across from Tuckahoe City Hall. Shop hours: Monday thru Fri-day: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sun-days: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eat-in or take-out. Advanced reservations for larger groups suggested. Outside ca-tering. Major credit cards. WiFi. Municipal parking. Casual dress. thenutmegcafe.com

ing and YMCA Diving National Champion who has competed on the ten-meter platform, the three-meter springboard, and the one-meter springboard in the USA Diving National Champi-onships six times (and already is pre-qualified for a seventh ap-pearance later this year in Atlanta), the USA Diving Synchronized Diving National Championships three times, and in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials Final Qualification Event. She also is a USA Diving 2018 Junior World Trials Qualifier. She has competed as a diver for Pelham Memorial High School since the seventh grade and has made it to the New York State Diving Championships five consec-utive years, qualifying for the finals of those championships every year. She likewise has been named to the Section One All-Section Swimming and Diving Team all five years.

Jennifer has committed to dive for the University of Vir-ginia Women’s Swimming and Diving Team beginning in the fall of 2019. She trains daily with High Dive Champions at the div-ing training facility at SUNY-Purchase College in Purchase, New York. Her coaches include Michael Darland (a former University of Michigan diver), Sergey Meshcherskiy (a former member of the Russian National Team and five-time Russian National Champion on one-meter, three-meter, and platform), and Dick Kimball (five-time U.S. Olympic Diving Team coach and former head diving coach at the University of Michigan).

Diving into topics such as animal cruelty, gender equality, pollution, and gun violence, eighth grade students at Pelham Middle School recently conclud-ed months of research and hard work by presenting their International Bacca-laureate Middle Years Pro-gramme Community Proj-ects this spring.

Working either individ-ually or in small groups, all eighth graders participate in this service-learning project in which they research a top-ic of importance to them and work within the community to raise awareness and make a difference regarding that is-sue. At the conclusion of the project, students present their work to peers and teachers over several days.

“To me, this is where all of the elements of the Middle Years Programme come together,” said Sean Llewellyn, Pelham’s Supervisor of International Baccalaureate. “Students get the chance to ap-ply what they’ve learned in real life and use it to make the world a better place. It’s inspiring to see how motivated students can be when they get the chance to work in an area they are passionate about in a true hands-on way.”

Other examples of student projects included creating a community mural to call attention to environmental issues, holding a drive to collect sporting goods for young athletes in need, volun-teering in soup kitchens and animal shelters, collecting used crayons to be turned into new crayons for children in hospitals, and raising money and awareness for a wide variety of important causes. Throughout the project, the students were led by their teachers Sara Pinsker, Bill Chimento, Laurie Cusick and Lauren Carcaterra.

The Community Project is a key component of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Pro-gramme, which is being implemented in Pelham in grades 6-10. The project augments students’ learn-ing and supports the International Baccaulareate’s central mission to help students become inquiring, caring, and responsible members of their communities who strive to make the world a better place.

NY State Senator Jeffrey Klein Announces $150,000 for Siwanoy Elementary School Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom

Senator Jeff Klein an-nounced $150,000 for the Na-ture Explore Outdoor Class-room at Siwanoy Elementary School in Pelham Manor, New York. The announcement took place at the annual Siwan-oy “Spring Fling” held at the school on Friday evening, June 1st, for parents and students. Senator Klein was hosted by Principal Susan Gilbert and joined by members of the Pel-ham community, including families, local organizations and businesses, who raised an additional $133,000 for the project through donations, the Pelham Education Founda-tion, the Race for Education, and Siwanoy’s “Buy a Brick” campaign.

“I’m so proud to have secured the funds for Siwan-oy’s Nature Explore Outdoor

Classroom. It is truly a pleasure to contrib-ute to such a won-derful project, and to bring this extraordi-nary learning experi-ence to the children in our community.”

“The Siwan-oy Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom would not be possi-ble without Senator Jeff Klein,” said Siwa-noy Principal Susan Gilbert. “His support and generosity will bring our children outside to experi-ence nature-related learning that develops observation and problem-solving skills, science and math abilities, imagina-tion, and creativity.”

The budget for Nature

Explore Outdoor Classroom is $257,155 including architec-tural fees, furnishings, main-tenance, training and program costs. The $150,000 grant pro-vided by Senator Klein, will

be used for construction costs to break-ground in the Fall of 2018, making this project a re-ality.

members. “Over the summer, I’m going make an effort to vis-it all the businesses that are or were former Chamber mem-bers and some that might not even be aware that there is a Chamber.”

Clay is hoping he can in-spire the businesses in Pelham to join the Chamber so they can have the support he knows they need. He believes the merchants in Pelham will take advantage of a strong support system, able to aid them when needed.

He shared his views about the importance of small busi-nesses in Pelham. Bushong believes that the lifeblood of a town is its people and that it is their duty to support lo-cal merchants as those mer-chants go on to support the town. Businesses help fund Little League teams and lo-cal groups, giving back to the community that gives to them.

When it comes down to it, buy-ing from merchants in Pelham helps more in the long run than buying from large corpo-rations. “What are you really doing with your dollar when you take it out of Pelham? How is it benefitting? Yeah, it may be an immediate gratification. Maybe you’re someone who likes saving what amounts to $1.30 on gas. And I get that, I enjoy being cost effective. But is that $1.30 leaving town really worth it in the long run?”

Clay already has a three-year plan for the Chamber of Commerce. He’s hoping to have frequent meetings, both general and with the Board of Directors. Within the near future, the Chamber will host several events, starting with the Wolfs Lane Walk in Sep-tember. Vendors between Bou-levard and 2nd Street will be able to buy a table and display

their wares for the evening. There will be music, food and drinks, and a movie playing at the Picture House at 8pm which will be associated with the Westchester International Children’s Film Festival. The Walk will be held on Septem-ber 8 from 4:00pm to 11:00pm. Clay is also hoping to hold a Restaurant Reach some time in mid-to-late October where a group of restaurants in Pel-ham will hold specials for sev-eral days, as well as hosting the Street Fair next summer.

Clay is an enthusiastic businessman that has made the commitment to dive head-first into his role as President of the Chamber of Commerce. He has a solid plan to bring more business to the mer-chants in Pelham and inspire consumers to put more of their dollars into a community that is endlessly giving back.

Looking Closely at an Uncomfortable RealityBY KATHRYN KEHOE-BIGGS,

L.C.S.W, PH.D.

On June 8, 2018, the front page of The New York Times announced, “Suicide Rate Climbed 25 Percent Even as Prevention Efforts Grew.” Although studies show that white males between the ages of 45 and 65 are the demographic most at risk, suicide rates are increasing in almost all ages and ethnic groups. While treatment of mental illness is also on the rise, gaps still exist. Women tend seek out mental health treatment more often than men. Sadly, people with the most serious mental health disorders such as psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder and substance abuse are less likely to have a primary care doctor compared to those without mental disorder. Lack of in-surance coverage is often the main reason for not obtaining mental health treatment (APA, 2012). Doctors, researchers and mental health providers are faced with the daunting task of creating prevention and treatment programs that connect with the people who need them the most. Unfor-tunately, most people who die by suicide do not have a diag-nosed mental illness, indicat-

ing that prevention; detection and treatment initiatives for a disease, which is the 10th leading cause of death in this country, have been woefully inadequate.

Logic and morality must guide open and honest dis-course. Shame and misinfor-mation regarding the causes of suicide remains an obstacle to this process. Bullying does not cause suicide, nor does job loss, divorce or other common life stressors. Unfortunately, the media and television pro-grams like ‘Thirteen Reasons’ promote this concept while trivializing a serious health problem. When explaining suicide I use this analogy: A middle age man is shoveling his driveway after a snow-storm and suddenly dies of a heart attack. Over the past few weeks he did not feel well, but never sought out treat-ment. Clearly the man had an undiagnosed heart condi-tion, which was exacerbated by the stress of shoveling the snow. But it is not the snow’s fault that this man died. Most middle age men can shovel a driveway with no ill effects. Clearly the organ in this man’s body was sick, resulting in his death. Similarly, people who die by suicide have an or-gan, the brain, which is sick.

Stressors can tax that organ. Human brains are built to withstand a certain amount of stress, but if the brain is sick it’s ability to mange may be compromised. External factors such as chronic trau-ma can change the brain’s chemistry, and, like many ill-nesses, a combination of ge-netics and environment can also hasten impairment. The brain is the organ responsible for making choices; when this organ is not working proper-ly suicide may seem like the only sensible choice. There are NOT “thirteen reasons” why someone dies by suicide, a health problem with genetic and biological components. It is simply unethical and ir-responsible to promote this type of information. Simply put, suicide is a death caused by mental illness. Until we stop blaming the person who died or those around them we will continue to be distracted by misinformation, which is not backed by research. This misinformation promotes fear, and, of course, once fear enters the conversation it in-hibits communication, which is the key to education.

Until the health care system makes mental health treatment more accessible, we need to start taking care of

one another. Here are some ways to help:

Be Brave and Present -- Being with someone who is clinically depressed means moving toward pain without attempting to take it way by offering advice or telling the person to “cheer up.” Bravely acknowledge their pain and resist the temptation to look away. Be with the person and remind them that they are special to you, and that they are not alone. Reminding a depressed person to be grate-ful for the good things they have often comes across as insensitive.

Ask about suicidal thinking -- Most people who have depression do not have suicidal thoughts. Among those who do have such thoughts, the majority never acts upon them. Talking about suicide does not trigger sui-cidal actions. In fact, telling someone about such thoughts actually, decreases the likeli-hood toward action. Ask fol-low-up questions to determine whether there is a specific plan in place. The answers to these questions will determine whether immediate interven-tion is necessary. It is import-ant to note that many people have passing thoughts of ‘not wanting to be here”. Remem-

ber, thoughts are just that – thoughts. It is actions that are dangerous and hurtful. Try to be less judgmental in terms of the thoughts and feelings of others, for when we judge less we are open to hearing more. Supportive, nonjudgmental listening can make a big differ-ence.

What to do if you be-lieve a depressed person is not safe -- Take the person to an emergency room! Explain to them that this is the logical step when a life is in danger. Another option is to call 911 and request a crisis interven-tion team. This is a team of mental health professionals who will come to your home, assess the situation and de-termine whether a trip to the hospital is necessary. Suicide hot-lines (1-800-273-TALK) can assist those who are alone and in need of support. If you are a teenager and are con-cerned about your own safe-ty, or the safety of a friend or family member, inform a re-sponsible adult.

Do not sacrifice your health for another -- Mental illness can cause a change in behavior. If that behavior be-comes verbally or physically abusive, your own safety must come first. Set boundaries, with an emphasis on the im-

portance of seeking out pro-fessional help. This may mean helping the person find af-fordable treatment, or accom-panying them to an appoint-ment with a mental health professional. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the demands which result from assisting someone with mental illness, it is ok to set limits regarding how much and what type of support you provide.

There are no quick fixes -- Be patient with yourself and others. The treatment of a mental illness takes time, energy and hard work. Like many other illnesses, some types of mental illness are chronic, and while they may require ongoing treatment, they can be managed. While some can be treated to the point where symptoms are barely present. Unfortunate-ly, there are those rare cases when, even with treatment, hard work, love and patience, people still die of this illness.

We still have a lot left to learn about the brain and how to help a person whose brain is sick. As a society and individ-uals the first step toward ex-ploring the unknown is to avoid looking the other way in fear.

Congratulations to HOPP Award Winners, Spring 2018

Pelham Memorial High School junior Bianca Barbosa and PMHS senior Andrew Spana are the recipients of the Spring 2018 Heart of Pelham PACT (HOPP) Award. Thanks to Symmetry Physi-cal Therapy and Chris Laurentani, and the Young Life organization for their generosity in sponsoring these awards.

Bianca Barbosa was honored for her KINDNESS and COM-PASSION. A junior at Pelham Memorial High School, Bianca spends her free time with the students in the Foundations of Learning pro-gram, a specialized program that serves students with disabilities, as a tutor, a peer role model, and a friend. Teachers and staff who witness Bianca interact with these students describe her as “gen-uine and caring….she exemplifies the best attributes a person can have.” She has not only provided these students with academic support, but with social support and friendship. The PMHS staff who nominated Bianca praised her as “….a role model for not only the students she works with but for the entire Pelham High School Community.”

Andrew Spana was honored for his COMPASSION and LEAD-ERSHIP. A senior at PMHS, Andrew has clearly incorporated ser-vice into his life, largely, but not solely, through scouting. Andrew is in the process of completing his Eagle Scout project to enhance the grounds and facilities in and around OLPH Church. He has also assisted many friends and family with their own Eagle Scout and Girl Scout projects, helping those around him without hesitation. Oftentimes, Andrew elevates his involvement in service to a leader-ship role. He became involved in the Executive Committee of Relay for Life, organizing teams, fundraising, and assisting at Survivor Receptions. As part of the PACT Youth Leadership Council, Andrew was a founding member of the Pelham LOFT—a group who orga-nizes social events in town for other teens. He designed the plans for the teen-driven website, pelhamloft.org, that was then built by Mr. LaGrecca’s Engineering class at PMHS. Andrew is described as someone who “is known for his humility and for being a quiet, effective role model, not searching for recognition or accolades; al-ways willing to help friends, family, and neighbors.”

Starting at an even younger age are our HOPP Jr. Award win-ners! Both winners were honored for being CARING and PRIN-CIPLED. Carrie Dudek, a PMS 8th grader, was described by PMS staff as a “kind-hearted and outgoing” young woman who brings a “bright, positive spirit to school every day” and looks to connect with others in this way. She is a role model for her peers for how to treat others.

Michael Sample, a PMS 7th grader, was recognized by PMS staff as someone who always puts others’ needs and feelings ahead of his own. From reaching out to include someone who may not have a group to push in all the chairs in a classroom, Michael goes out of his way to treat others with kindness and respect, not for re-ward but simply because it is the right thing to do. PMS staff are so proud of Michael’s ability to show his peers that “you can make a big impact on the community with daily decisions and actions that may be simple and quiet.”

Because of the generosity of Chris Laurentani and Symmetry Physical Therapy, and the Young Life Organization, all winners re-ceived gift cards and were celebrated at a small ceremony hosted by J Café on May 30, 2018.

Author and Lifestyle Expert Kellye Davis Offers Tips on Meditating at the Pelham Library

Kellye Davis, nationally-known stress management and yoga lifestyle expert and leader, and author of The Bliss Principle: Easy Ways to Reduce Stress held a free event on Saturday, June 9 at the Pelham Public Library as part of her Learn to Meditate tour. The one-hour session provided attend-ees with easy to follow tips on meditating and how to use your “mantra” to infuse your thoughts to create a peaceful state. Davis said, “Many of us are looking for a cost-effective, time-efficient, do-it-yourself paradigm for a healthier life and I believe this starts with satisfying the ‘peace urge’. Medi-tating peacefully begins by making sure your mind is in the right place.”Davis offered the following helpful tips to consider when meditating:· Allow 5-10 minutes of meditation time, at least three times a week.· The beginning and end of the day are great times for meditating.· Set-up a quiet corner in your home where you can meditate regularly.· Include candles, incense/oils, pictures that make you happy, or flowers in your meditation space.· A pillow or blanket is recommended to sit on and is useful in designating your energy in one area.

Additional dates for Davis’ Learn to Meditate tour can be found at www.kellyedavis.com.

Michael Molinelli created the design, which preserves neighborhood views and vistas, and features a stage and student gathering area, music and movement areas, art panels, raised garden beds for classroom plantings, a butterfly cycle garden and a weather station.

The concept plan for Siwanoy’s Outdoor Classroom was created by Nature Explore, a nonprof-it program that provides research-based design services and educator workshops. This plan incor-porates field-tested design principles that have been used in hundreds of Nature Explore Outdoor Classrooms across the country.

New research shows that schools that use outdoor classrooms and other forms of nature-based experiential education can result in significant student gains in social studies, science, language arts, and math. Children are more likely to invent their own games in green play spaces than they are on flat cement or playing fields. The Outdoor Classroom environment also promotes social inclusion, regardless of gender, race, class, or intellectual ability, and is ADA accessible.

Siwanoy teachers will participate in ongoing Nature Explore workshops that offer in-depth training on the latest field-tested, age-appropriate methods for delivering the curriculum while re-connecting students to nature.

The entire Pelham community will have access to the Outdoor Classroom through afterschool and camp programs, scouting programs, middle and high school volunteer opportunities and Nature Explore workshops for adults.

Sunshine Smiles on 2018 Pelham Summer Olympics

BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

Confounding predictions of heavy down-pours, the Saturday, June 2 Pelham Civic Associ-ation Summer Olympics was held at Glover Field on a brilliant sunny day. An estimated 250 kinder-garten through Fifth Grade students participated in Baker’s Dozen; Beat the Oldie Goalie (soccer); Big Ball Push; Football, Frisbee Tosses; Long Jump; Obstacle Course and Tug-of-War. Each grade was distinguished by tee shirt color. In addition, there were multiple track runs.

Noting the great turnout, Scott Brown, PCA Summer Olympics Chairman stated, “We had a great turnout, I am very happy about that. I am also happy about the weather. I have been doing this for several years now and this will be my last year as Chairman. It’s great to see such a large group of volunteers come out and help.”

“The Pelham Summer Olympics is a wonder-ful event for the community, with many volunteers coming to help. The kids have so much fun and it’s a wonderful way for the Civics to give back to the community,” Pelham Town Councilman Tim Case added.

PCA President Ken Shirreffs praised Brown for doing a fantastic job, “with a terrific group of new members out here helping him.”

Trophies were given to First, Second and Third contestants. Every child received a medal for participating as well as free tee shirts, hot dogs, soda and ice cream. The medallions were donat-ed by Ball Chain Manufacturing Co. Inc., a fami-ly-owned business of Civics member and Pelham resident Bill Taubner. In addition, children cooled themselves on a giant Water Slide.

“I think the Pelham Olympics is fantastic,” PCA Board Member Todd Cross shared. “This is my third year being part of it and organizing it. The thing that I love about it is that it brings the entire community together.”
