Relatively Short BOT Meeting
Packed with Good News
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
Opening a relatively short
Village of Bronxville Board of
Trustees meeting on Monday,
June 8, Mayor Mary C. Marvin relayed three good news
items regarding the Parkway
Road Bridge, the repair of
School flood damage and the
Kensington Road project: 1)
Parkway Road Bridge repairs
have begun; 2) Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) bids to repair School
flood damage. “The low bidder qualified but was higher
than the FEMA grant; this was
in 2011 dollars. FEMA will run
a cost benefit analysis and we
will apply for additional funding,” Marvin stated. 3) “The
Kensington Road project is

Bills have been

A Public Hearing was set
for Monday, July 13 to revise
Zoning Codes. “This is to simplify obtaining permits for
sidewalk cafes,” Palmer noted.
“We want to stay competitive
with neighboring communities to ease opening businesses,” Marvin added.
Palmer pointed to the
New York Conference of Mayors and Association of Towns’
recommendations to Legislators not to make the Tax Cap
permanent. Calling the 1.58%
Tax Cap rate “hypocrisy,” Marvin cited the State Controller’s
statement that two-thirds of
the State infrastructure is not
being repaired because of this
ruling. The Board sent a nonbinding Resolution to the Legislature regarding this issue.
Local Student Shares Debate Journey
BY KATE ROSE
Three years ago, I first
joined Loyola School’s Speech
and Debate Team to compete
in the category of Congressional Debate. In Congressional
Debate, students act as Senators, debating pieces of legislation they have written on numerous issues, ranging from
how to handle ISIS to solving
income inequality. Joining
this event was one of the greatest things I have done during
my high school career. This
year, I qualified to attend both
the Catholic Grand National
Tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the National
Speech and Debate Associa-
tion National Tournament in
Dallas, Texas. Leading up to
both these tournaments took
hours of research, practice,
and determination. I went into
both tournaments with the
goal of doing as best as I personally could.
The Catholic Grand National Tournament took place
over Memorial Weekend. For
this tournament, leagues
throughout the country send
their best students to compete. About 220 students total compete in the category of
Congressional Debate. The
preliminary
rounds
took
place on Saturday, beginning
at 7:30 AM and ending at 7:00

PM. The following day, about
60 students competed in the
semi-final round, with 27 advancing to the final round.
This year, I attended with
three of my teammates.
We were able to enjoy the
Florida sun on the Friday
before competition and
then go into battle the following day. For the entire
tournament, we had each
other to lean on and root
on. I could not have gone
through this tournament
without knowing that I
had a support group that
had my back the entire
time. While I did not advance past my preliminary rounds, two of my teammates made it to octofinals and
quarterfinals in their catego...continued on page 11

Swim Across America Long Island Sound Chapter
Gears Up for Summer Fundraising Events
Swim Across America, Long
Island Sound Chapter (SAA-LIS),
which raises money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming-related events, has kicked
off its 23rd summer season, offering nine opportunities to swim
and volunteer in Westchester and
Rockland counties, states Chapter
President Tony Sibio. The nonprofit, which raised over $1 million
last year, will have its first swim at
Westchester Country Club in Rye
on July 11. Seven more participation opportunities are scheduled
in the three-week period ending
August 1.
“This is my 23rd year working with SAA-LIS, and I continue
to be amazed by and thankful for
the hundreds of swimmers and
volunteers who participate in our
annual swims,” says Sibio. “Each
participant is a hero, who helps
us raise crucial funds that have a
direct impact in the fight against
cancer and on cancer patients’
lives. This year we are encouraging swimmers and volunteers
to bring a friend to the swim, so
we can expand our fundraising
efforts. Not only will it be fun to
bring new friends into the SAA-LIS
family, it also will help us increase
awareness, expand our reach and
achieve our fundraising goals.”
The summer program will
encompass eight pool swims
(with the option of half-mile and
one-mile efforts) plus an openwater swim course on Long Island Sound that will offer partici-
pants the option of swimming 2K,
5K or 10K. The open-water swim,

Bronxville Incorporates New Technology into High School
Math Curriculum
BY NANCY YU KOCHANSKY,
A MEMBER OF THE PR COMMITTEE
School was barely out for
the summer last June when
Bronxville High School Math
teachers Cynthia Maupin and
Zhanna Cabrera packed their
bags and headed to New Hampshire for an intensive learning experience of their own.
Funded by a grant from the
Bronxville School Foundation,
the two senior educators spent
a week at the Anja S. Greer Conference on Mathematics, Science and Technology at Phillips
Exeter Academy. Their goal
was to explore the potential
application and impact of new
technologies in the classroom
and the math curriculum along
with other independent and
high school educators from
throughout the US and beyond.
Bronxville School places
a high priority on professional development, and these
teachers clearly do, too, --as
evidenced by the work they
put into researching, writing and discussing the grant
that resulted in the Foundation funding the teachers’
tuition and expenses for
the Conference. Both of the
teachers had attended this
conference in the past, and
clearly view it as the best
way to learn about the newest technologies and how
to integrate them into their
own math classes. In fact,
Ms. Cabrera stated that this
is basically where she learns
everything related to new
technology.
At the conference,
each participant selects two
courses that meet each day
throughout the week. In
addition to these two primary courses, participants
can also attend a range of
Bronxville High School Math Teachers Cynthia Maupin (left) and Zhanna Cabrera
45-minute workshops on a
variety of topics. At last sumapplication for the iPad called

might be incorporated into the
handwriting recognition fea-

function are written on the
screen, the graph is created
nearly instantaneously and
can be projected from the
iPad onto the SmartBoard.
It serves as a valuable teaching tool in that it enables
real-time inquiry by the
students as well as comparisons across functions and
equations. Ms. Maupin and
Ms. Cabrera have begun introducing the app in some
classes already. Once it is
fully rolled out, they expect
to use FluidMath as a tool
in teaching nearly the full
range of BHS math classes,
including algebra 2, precalculus, and calculus.
Ms. Cabrera and Ms.
Maupin regard the Exeter
conference an integral way
to help keep the teachers
and curriculum fresh and
current, and a place where
educators who are the best in
their field go to teach and learn
from one another. Ms. Mau-

pin summed up this sentiment
when she said, “Exeter is where
we regularly go to recharge our
batteries as math teachers.”
Many conference leaders and
participants attend regularly
and have had the opportunity
to establish relationships and
candidly share their own experiences about the advantages
and/or limitations of integrating
certain new technologies into
the classroom and curriculum.
They also learn how other teachers at the best schools have been
integrating the technologies,
including practical applications
and problem sets most suitable
for reinforcing the concepts. Interestingly, the value in sharing
information is sometimes avoiding adopting a new technology
– which can save valuable time,
resources, as well as frustration.
In sum, the conference proved
to be a very worthwhile learning and networking opportunity
with ongoing benefits that extend well beyond a single week
last summer.

From the Mayor’s Office
BY MAYOR MARY MARVIN
June 29, 2015
Last week the Trustees
and I reacted to an incident occurring at the very end of the
beautiful high school graduation festivities.
The unacceptable behavior was directed at our police
and frankly its importance
was not how many chanted or
who else heard it, rather that
our police officers in cars at
both the beginning and end
of the parade heard it. That
was enough. Not angry, but
frankly stunned and disheartened, they reported it to Chief
Satriale who reached out to the
Board of Trustees for a show
of support. That was an easy
decision as our officers are so
deserving of our backing. We
also didn’t have to look very far
to see what can happen to the
fabric of a community when
elected officials don’t back up
the fine men and women in
blue.
What followed was a
tough week, but upon reflection a week of real value.
Conversations were held in
homes discussing the dignity
and honor of everyone’s job
– how words can often be as
profoundly hurtful as physical
attacks, and the need to speak
up when you disagree with
another’s behavior. A community conversation was started
that was sincere, positive and
productive. Just another reason why this Village is such a
special home.
It’s not easy being a police
officer in Bronxville. So much
is expected of them. As to the
treatment of our youth, they
walk a very fine line and often
employ a great deal of discretion. In more cases than not,
young people are sent or driven home or parents called to
come to Village Hall in lieu of
the Judge. Our officers are focused on teaching life lessons,
not ruining futures. When our
children leave our Village, the
police world is quite different
and less forgiving. We are not
the norm.
Last week’s incident
struck a particular nerve as
our department is currently so
very young and new. With this
new energy our Chief has redoubled efforts to have our officers make a concerted effort
to connect with our young people in various non-adversarial
situations.
Chief Satriale has hired
16 of the 19 officers on the current force just since he took
over leadership in 2007. A record eight officers have been
trained as Certified Youth Officers. Three officers now live
in nearby Eastchester and as
a result of their proximity, attend many Village youth events
while off duty. One of our newest officers now volunteers
as a 4th Grade lacrosse team
Coach.
Though we thought we
had been quite careful not to
use a broad brush when referring to those involved in the
chanting, I reiterate that we
know only a small minority of
the 113 graduates participated.
Bottom line, our message
was that no matter the number of participants, we are all
diminished by this type of behavior. Frankly, it would have
been far easier to just let the
moment go by. But Bronxville
has high standards, high expectations of behavior that we
must preserve and hold dear.
Our level of civility in public
discourse is admired by many.
But just as it is important
to point out unacceptable behavior, it is even more important to acknowledge the swift
and adult response that was
received at the Police Department from the Senior Class
leadership.
Representatives
hand
delivered an incredibly sincere, heartfelt, thought filled
letter to Chief Satriale and the
Class President will be meeting with the Chief next week.
This display of character by
these young leaders will serve
them well in life’s next chapter.
The police department also
received letters from students
clearly not involved who just
felt badly. As yet, no one admitting to participation has offered an apology but that, too,
is a life lesson I guess.
I truly believe this incident could end up strengthening the bonds between our
young people and our police
officers. The more we interact the more we humanize our
relationships. For example,
when you see Officer Lauralee
Ulrich be comforted to know
she is a certified EMT. She actually saved the life of a gentleman who had a heart attack
right outside of Lange’s. Sergeant Anderson was a talented
high school kicker and is more
often than not on the Bronco
football sidelines. When you
see Officer Dentini, you’ll know
he is a bodybuilder and lover of
all things athletic. Our force
is so young and physically fit
that ten members have trained
and qualified for bike patrol.
Sergeant Van der Leew is an
accomplished bagpiper who
competes at the highest levels
internationally but still joins
our Parade! One of our most
senior officers Dennis Karraman is an avid fisherman.
Our Police Officers are
good people. Our young people
are good people. To the Class
of 2015 and all future classes,
you are the Village’s finest asset, the hope of the future and
our most cherished natural resource. You comprise over one
half of the Bronxville population and bring great joy and energy to our Village.
I wish you happiness and
fulfillment as you write a new
chapter in the book of life and
always know you have a warm
and embracing home in Bronxville where people care for you
deeply.
Astorino Leads Drive to Create Millions in
Efficiency Savings
Residents in 22 municipalities will continue
to be eligible for property
tax rebates from New
York State thanks to a
joint efficiency effort led
by Westchester County
Executive Robert P. Astorino.
A total of $211 million in savings - $186
million from county government and $25 million
from local municipalities
and special districts –
have been identified for
implementation through
2019. Because the savings
exceed benchmarks set
by the state, residents in
the participating municipalities will remain eligible to qualify for property
tax rebates through 2016.
“These savings are

To the Editor
There is a dangerous double standard going on in Bronxville that needs to be addressed
and corrected.
As I was driving into Bronxville this morning on Tanglewylde Avenue, I had to cross over
into the opposite lane to get by two Guiseppe Pansarella landscaping trucks.
Not only is this a dangerous situation as you cannot see by them but this is at the field entrance to the school where children are crossing.
If we were to double park on the single lane main thoroughfare in the village, we would be
quickly ticketed. Why is there a double standard where the police and ticket writers just look
the other away?
Why aren’t these landscape companies required to park on side streets like the rest of us?

Dr. Devon Marques

Astorino Leads Drive to Create Millions in Efficiency Savings
...continued from page 4
With the county and municipalities doing their part,
Astorino repeated his call for
Albany to provide meaningful
tax relief to localities by reforming unfunded state mandates.
“The problem with the
state’s tax cap is it only addresses half of the budget
problem,” Astorino said. “It
rightly creates incentives for
curbing taxes, but it does nothing to limit spending by Albany, particularly with respect
to unfunded mandates. The result is that local municipalities
have less money to put toward
local needs.”
Nine unfunded state
mandates, totaling $454 million, will consume 83% of the
county’s tax levy in 2015.
In Westchester, property
taxes breakdown roughly as
follows: 65% for school, 15%
for county government, and
20% for local municipalities
and special districts. Rebates
are calculated on each portion
of the bill. Broadly speaking
under state law, residents are
entitled to property tax rebates
in 2015 equal to the amount
the jurisdiction raised taxes,
provided it was under the state
cap.
In the case of the county,
its portion of the rebate is
based on the rate of inflation
because Astorino proposed
and won approval for a budget
in 2015 with no tax increase,
continuing a pattern of 0%
tax increases since 2011 and a
2% tax decrease in 2010. The
county’s rebate applies to residents in all 45 Westchester
municipalities.
The joint efficiency plan
comes into play for next year
because the state has increased

Bronxville High School Class of 2015
“Drill Down into Your Soul,” Klimley Urges Students
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
A plethora of colorful umbrellas marked
the 93rd Annual Bronxville High School Commencement, comprised of 112 graduates of the
Class of 2015 on Saturday, June 20.
Principal Ann Meyer welcomed the community and introduced the Student Speakers,
2015 Class President Brendan Walsh, Student
Faculty Legislature President Edward Forst and
Parent Speaker Brooks Klimley.
“Today, one chapter of our lives comes to
an end,” Walsh noted. “John F. Kennedy once
said, ‘Change is the law of life. And those who
look only to the past or present are sure to miss
the future…’ I cannot say if the world is ready for
the Class of 2015 but I can certainly say that the
Class of 2015 is ready for it,” Walsh concluded.
Forst reminded his classmates not to forget
tradition and friendships, despite technological
changes. “Let us remember to give more than we
take, be kind, show respect and laugh.”
Klimley thanked the students for honoring the memory of his daughter Zoe, who passed
away on January 2, 2014 at the age of 17 from a
blood clot running to her heart with many memorial observances and Zoe Brooks Klimley
Scholarship Fund.
“Rather than the super ego, I think these
sorts of inspirational commencement bromides should be directed to the id, ‘the part of
the psyche that is completely unconscious and
is the source of psychic energy derived from [an
individual’s] instinctual needs,’” Klimley continued.
“Adhering to this id-centric philosophy is
tricky, because it demands that you drill down
into your soul and figure out what it is you really want to do…You’ve got to get out there on
your own and exercise your id, in the face of the
well-intentioned, but absolutely limiting efforts
of the super ego in the form of your friends and
parents…,” Klimley concluded.
Meyer announced Departmental Achievement Awards for Excellence: English, Morgan
Taylor; Mathematics, Jesse JooWon Whang; Science, Lucy Whitney; Spanish, Sally Kwok; Latin,
Social Studies, George Grealy; French, Chrysoula Passos.
Gwinn Arts Awards for Excellence: Instrumental Music, Orchestra, Andrew Walter-McNeill; Band, Silas White; Fine Arts, Sally Kwok;
Vocal Music, Kiley Regan; Drama, Luke Geiling.
Grealy received the Overall Award Standard Excellence Award; Passos also garnered the
Bronxville Teachers Association Scholarship.

ArtsWestchester to Display Works Inspired
by Nature in Upcoming Exhibition
Surrounded by the majestic Hudson River and Long Island Sound, and dotted with forests, foothills and preserves,
Westchester County has long been valued for its picturesque
landscapes and has served as an inspiration to artists. ArtsWestchester’s summer exhibition, Revisiting Arcadia: Contemporary Landscapes, on view from July 16 to August 29, offers
fresh perspectives on this ongoing love affair between artists
and Westchester’s natural settings. The public is invited to meet
the artists at an opening reception on Wednesday, July 15, from
6-8pm. For more information, visit: artsw.org/arcadia.
Revisiting Arcadia presents diverse responses to today’s
environments. Exhibited artists employ a wide range of mediums, techniques and styles. For example, Lauren Sansaricq
paints pristine yet engrossing scenes that pay homage to the
19th century’s Hudson River School art movement. Of her work,
Sansaricq says: “I am in the pursuit of beauty. To me, nature is
the most beautiful thing and to study its beauty brings me closer
to God. Being in nature is a very transcendental experience.”
Famed photographer John Shearer, best recognized for
his portrait of Jaclyn Kennedy Onassis and her family at the
funeral of her husband President Kennedy, will debut part of a
new body of conceptual photographs that explore nature-made abstractions in ArtsWestchester’s gallery.
In addition to photographic and two-dimensional works, the exhibition includes sculpture and installation. Christine Aaron’s “Murmur,” a collection of 9-foot-high hanging monoprints, creates a sense of walking
through a forest. Leigh Taylor Michelson’s ceramic sculptural installation “Papavar” will cascade across the walls,
placing visitors within a field of poppies. At the center of ArtsWestchester’s sweeping Peckham Gallery, Diane
Mitchell will present a video projection that will envelop visitors in an energized, imagined landscape. Mitchell
explains that “the elements in the [video] installation will suggest pathways to integrating our digital practices
with our embodied space.”
Several artists look beyond the landscape to explore the relationship between man and nature. Judith
Economos will create a site-specific mixed-media installation in part of the gallery’s bank vault, which remains
intact from the bank that previously occupied ArtsWestchester’s historic landmark building. The piece will address changing tides and the effect global warming is having on local water levels. Michael Torlan presents a
triptych of monotype prints that reference the way so many Americans experience the landscape – through the
windows of their cars.
Revisiting Arcadia: Contemporary Landscapes is on view from July 16-August 29. To RSVP for the July
15 opening reception (6-8pm), contact [email protected]. ArtsWestchester is located at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains. Gallery Hours are Tue-Fri: 12-5pm & Sat: 12-6pm

Chapel School Students Collect Books for
Nicaragua
Bronxville, NY- The Chapel
School PTO sponsored a weeklong book fair, in the beginning
of May, and hosted a global outreach endeavor. The outreach
project asked families to purchase Spanish language books
for new libraries sprouting up
in Nicaragua. Last summer a
mission team from Concordia
and Village Lutheran Church,
including Minster of Music Deborah Reiss went to Nicaragua to
help build a community library.
The mission team went with an
organization called “Bridges to
Communities.” They specialize
in Latin American building projects. “I went in August to Nicaragua with a group from Concordia
to a remote place in Siuna, where we started building a library,” stated Deborah Reiss. “It’s great to
see the project come full circle, since the books are going to be donated there.” Thirty seven Spanish books were purchased at the Book Fair. A representative from “Bridges to Communities” picked
up the books last week and they will be delivered by volunteers heading to Nicaragua this summer.
The Chapel School is located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville. For more information
about The Chapel School and its programs, call 914-337-3202 or visit www.thechapelschool.org.
Village Lutheran Church Recognizes Two
Eagle Scouts
Local Village Lutheran Church members Alexander Primavera and Andrew Synder, were recognized for during a Sunday service for their achieved rank of Eagle Scout. The two high school seniors were applauded for their accomplishments in serving God and Country. In order to achieve
Eagle Scout level, one must be active in their troop for at least six months after achieving Life Scout
rank. They must demonstrate the Scout Oath in their daily lives, and earn a total of twenty-one merit
badges.
“It has been a thirteen year journey,” stated Alexander Primavera, who greatly enjoys camping
and hiking. “The hardest requirement was the community service project.” The project requires all
those who want to be Eagle Scouts to volunteer in their community, and show why their actions
are important and having a positive impact on the community. The young men volunteered at local environmental centers helping to clean and redefine the trails. “By cleaning up the trails we are
benefitting the environment and all those who will come to these nature centers.” According to Rev.
Dr. Robert Hartwell, Senior Pastor of the church, “Alexander and Andrew are good examples of faith
in action. Both young men are active in both church and community projects and represent our mission to ‘know, live and share the love of Christ’ in such a positive and respectful way.”
Village Lutheran Church and The Chapel School are located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville (across the street from Concordia College). For more information about Village Lutheran
Church and The Chapel School and its programs, call 914-337-3202 or visit www.thechapelschool.

Astorino Wins BOL Approval for
Revitalization of Playland
By a vote of 17-0, the Board
of Legislators (BOL) on June 15,
approved Westchester County
Executive Robert P. Astorino’s
agreement with New York-based
Standard Amusements for the
management and revitalization of
Playland. Under the agreement,
Standard Amusements will invest
$25 million in private money into
Playland over the next five years,
securing the long-term future
of the county’s iconic 100-acre
amusement park in Rye.
“I want to thank Chairman
Kaplowitz for his leadership on
moving this forward with the necessary speed and due diligence,”
Astorino said. “This deal meets
our three goals for preserving
Playland by reversing the losses
for taxpayers, putting the park in
the hands of a top-flight operator, and revitalizing Playland as a
must-visit destination for families
for years to come.”
Nicholas Singer, a successful
investor and native of Westchester, architected the deal to restore
the unique character of Playland.
“We’d like to thank the BOL
for supporting our plans to return
Playland to that special place I
knew as a child. In hearings over
the past two months, we’ve made
a detailed effort to inform the local
community of the steps we’ll take
to restore the park,
and we’re excited
to have received
its strong vote of
confidence,” Singer
said. “We’re excited
to now move to the
next phase, and begin the co-management arrangement,
under the experienced eye of our
CEO, Jack Falfas.”
The $25 million investment
will go toward revitalizing Playland with new rides and attractions, as well as upgrading food
choices, picnic areas, and restaurants and renovating grounds and
buildings. Standard Amusements
will pay the county $2,250,000 up
front; invest $22,750,000 million
of its money within five years into
refurbishing the park; and make
annual payments to the county
starting at $300,000 and escalating 2% a year. The county will also
receive 7.5% of profits once Standard Amusements has recouped
its initial investment.
For its $25 million investment, Standard Amusements will
receive the right to operate the
park for 15 years with an option
to renew for an additional 15 years
under what is being called the
Playland Management Agreement
(PMA). Standard Amusements
has entered into an operating arrangement with United Parks,
which is headed by CEO Jack Falfas. The structure of the PMA allows the county to retain full control of the property, as well as any
material benefits from the capital
improvements made by Standard
Amusements.
With the BOL’s approval on
June 15, Standard Amusements
will now co-manage Playland for
the remainder of the 2015 season
and will begin the transition to
its role of sole operator on Nov.
1, 2015. Under the agreement,
Standard Amusements will
manage the amusement park,
parking lot, beach, pool area and
boardwalk. Outside the agreement are the Children’s Museum, Pier Restaurant & Tiki Bar,
Edith Read Sanctuary and the
Ice Casino.

MARRIAGE ITALIAN STYLE
“...one of the dandiest
films of the year.” NY Times, 1964
Whenever director Vittorio de Sica and Sophia Loren
made a motion picture, something wonderful happened.
Now, 50 years after its first
release, the classic example
of this Oscar- nominated collaboration has been digitally
restored. Recently premiering
at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the new release has not only
returned the film to all its glory,
but breathed fresh life into the
exceptional work of cinematic
brilliance.
Sophia Loren stars as Filumena, who as a 17-year old prostitute, was taken in by the influential businessman Domenico
(Marcello Mastroianni), and
made into his mistress. Now,
20 years later, she is fed up with
Domenico’s refusal to commit to
her, so she undertakes a series
of tricks in order to secure his
vows and assure a comfortable
life for her and her three illegitimate sons.
This is a truly unique opportunity to enjoy this wonderfully flamboyant film on the
big screen as it should be, and
celebrate the closing night of
the festival with these colorful
reflections of Italian life.

Local Student Shares Debate Journey
ries of Oral Interpretation and
Original Oratory. I was happy
to be able to celebrate and support them through their accomplishments.
About a month following
the Catholic Grand National
Tournament, the National
Speech and Debate Association National Tournament
takes place. This year, the
tournament took place in Dallas, Texas. This tournament
is different from the Catholic
Grand National Tournament
because it is a week long,
rather than simply just a weekend. The first two days of this
tournament are dedicated to
preliminary rounds, followed
by a day of semi-final rounds,
and finally, seven hours of final
rounds. This tournament is
well described as a marathon,
not a sprint. This year, I made
it through to the semi-final
round, enjoying three days of
great debate. However, after
being knocked out before the
final round, I was able to go
and watch the final round in
not only my own category, but
also numerous other categories.
Speech and Debate has
ultimately changed my life.
As a freshman, I lived in a
bubble, unaware of what
was happening in the world
around me. Debate not only
opened my eyes to the issues
around me but also, gave my
voice a purpose. I do not talk,
just to talk, but rather to try
to make a change and help
people. This pushed me to
start my school’s Current Affairs club. This club acts as a
place for others to learn about
different issues, but also to
use their voice to talk about
them. Debate showed me the
power of conversation, and
this is something I truly strive
to bring forward to both my
own school and to the world
around me.

Before You Put Your House on the Market ... Local Realtor Provides Advice for Enhancing
Your Home’s Curb Appeal This Summer
With the “pollen tsunami” finally over and warmer
weather upon us, now is the
perfect time to turn attention to your house. This summer, why not give it some extra curb appeal? “The goal is
to make the home’s exterior
look crisp and clean and help
it stand out, thus increasing your chances of enticing
potential buyers to want to
take a peak inside,” says Joe
Houlihan, managing partner
of Houlihan & O’Malley Real
Estate Services in Bronxville.
Following are some helpful hints from Houlihan to get
the ball rolling on sprucing up
your home’s curb appeal:
1. Get the dirt, moss, and
cobwebs off your home’s exterior by using a power washer
or a regular hose with a power
washing attachment.
And,
while you’re at it, clean off
your outdoor lawn furniture.
2. Wash your windows. A
hose with a window washing
attachment can get windows
shiny and clean. And remember to clean inside windows,
too, for the most sparkle.

way to find a top-notch mason
is to check with colleagues
and friends to see whom they
recommend or ask your Realtor for a referral, as he/she
often keeps lists of trusted

6. Plant annuals and
perennials, along with
an array of vegetables, to
create an inviting setting
where potential homebuyers can imagine living. In
addition, position pots of
flowers on the front and
back porches/decks to
add more color. And, even
though you can’t see it,
fragrance can have a big
impact on a person’s experience when walking up to
your house. Houilhan says,
“Consider sweet-scented
roses, lilacs, honeysuckle,
and jasmine or fresh herbs,
like rosemary and lavender to
line the front walk.”
7. If your driveway has
taken a beating or simply
does not match the style of
your home, it could be dragging down your home’s curb
appeal. So, repave or repair
cracks in the blacktop or consider other possibilities, such
as adding brick, masonry or
stained concrete, which can
all make for beautiful, durable
driveways.
“It’s amazing how a few
small touches, such as colorful plants, sparkling windows
and fixtures, and a freshly
paved driveway, can add the
curb appeal you need,” says
Houlihan. “These minor enhancements will prove to be
well worth the money, time
and energy invested when it
comes time to selling your
home.”

The Patient Self Determination Act and Trends in Advance Health Care Directives
BY BERNARD A. KROOKS, CERTIFIED
ELDER LAW ATTORNEY
The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently
released a report on the use
of advance directives in hospitals, nursing homes and other
health care facilities.
The
report, requested by members of the Senate Committee
on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation, addressed the
experience with health care
proxies, living wills and other
advance health care directives.
It makes interesting reading
— or at least it is interesting to
policy wonks concerned about
individual autonomy and selfdetermination.
To review: the federal
Patient Self Determination
Act was adopted in 1990. It requires each state to summarize
its state laws on advance directives (and to make that summary publicly available). It also
requires hospitals, nursing
homes, hospices, home health
agencies, health maintenance
organizations, and Medicare
Advantage providers to inform
patients about advance directives and to ask if they understand the concepts. It does not
explicitly require health care
providers to either ask for advance directives or to require
patients to complete them (in
fact, the law prohibits any provider from requiring advance
directives), but the thinking
when the law was passed was
that advance directives would
become much more common.
By way of background, an
advance health care directive
allows you to appoint someone
else to make medical decisions
for you in the event you are
incapacitated and unable to
communicate your wishes to
your health care providers. By
preparing a health care proxy
you can help ensure that your
wishes are carried out in the
event of an accident or illness.
Under New York law, you have
the right to accept or reject
medical treatment, including
life-prolonging
procedures
such as mechanical respiration and artificial nutrition
and hydration.
For an excellent discussion of planning your health
care in advance, go to https://
www.ag.ny.gov/sites/default/
files/pdfs/publications/Planning_Your_Health_Care_in_
Advance.pdf. Go to https://
www.health.ny.gov/forms/
doh-1430.pdf for a New York
State health care proxy form
and instructions on how to fill
one out. Actually filling out
and signing the form is pretty
straightforward, and you could
(and should) complete it today.
You don’t even need a lawyer!
How well has the federal
law worked in its quarter-century of existence? The study
doesn’t really answer that
question, though it does give
some data points to assess
changes in the medical community and care standards.
At the time of adoption of the
Patient Self Determination
Act, activists estimated that
perhaps 20% of patients had
executed an advance health
care directive. The study finds
that almost half of adults over
age 40 have now signed a living will or health care proxy.
That suggests that something
more than twice as many patients have done at least some
health care planning — though
it is unclear whether that is
the result of the federal law
or changing public knowledge
and preferences (or both).
Perhaps more interestingly, the study found wide
disparities by type of care facility, medical condition, age,
race, income level, and education level. Even gender made
a significant difference, with
women signing advance health
care directives about 5% more
frequently than men.
Interestingly,
though,
only a handful of the demographic categories reviewed
in the GAO report had more
than 50% compliance. Nursing home residents had signed
advance directives about 55%
of the time (up 10% from the
previous decade). 60-year-olds
had perhaps the most vigorous increase in signature rates,
moving from just under half
having signed a decade ago to
almost three out of four today.
Interested in some of the
other categories? You can read
the report yourself, as it is
available online at http://www.

interesting items we extracted
from its analysis:

10% more likely to have signed
The Kitchen & Bath Insider© – Counter(top) Intelligence
BY PAUL BOOKBINDER, M.I.D., C.R.,
PRESIDENT, DREAMWORK KITCHENS, INC.
Archeologists have found,
even before recorded history, that
people have had an area in their
home devoted to food preparation. Traditionally referred to as
“THE KITCHEN”, over the millennium this specialized subdivision
of the household has developed
from a simple work surface to the
exciting kitchens of today. And,
one of the most exciting parts of
a new kitchen is the countertop.
The countertop, and its vertical counterpart, the backsplash,
can add to your kitchen’s distinctive style, but choosing a material
for the surface is not as easy as it
was a thousand years ago. There
are so many types of countertops
available today that it can be very
confusing when you decide to get
a new one.
Although certainly a factor, your kitchen’s work surface
should not be chosen solely for
its aesthetic value. When you’re
ready for a new counter, find a
contractor who will take the time
to review your specific needs.
What types of foods do you prepare? How much do you cook?
Do you have kids? The answers
to these questions will help de-
termine the appropriate counter
material for you.
The laminate counter, referred to by many as “Formica,”
is the most economical of all the
choices and, with proper care,
can last twenty years. Easy to
clean with good stain resistance,
it does have limitations: you can’t
cut on it and it will scorch if you
place anything hot on the surface.
Once a laminate top is damaged it
is difficult or impossible to repair.
The most popular countertops today are those made out of
stone, which, by the way, is just
what the archeologists found in
the kitchens of yesteryear. The
most popular stone materials
are granite, marble and the new
tops made up of crushed quartz.
Granite, the traditional standby,
is considered by many as the
most beautiful surface available
because granite has movement!
Movement is the suggestion of
motion in the elements making up the finished surface. The
swirls and patterns created by
nature cannot be fully duplicated
in a stone that is fabricated. If you
exercise a little care with granite,
you can avoid stains and scratches, and have a work surface that
will last until the next batch of
archeologists digs up your home.
Granite should be sealed when it
is installed and at least once a year
afterwards to avoid staining.
Quartz, sold under the trade
names of Cambria, Caesarstone,
Silestone, etc. is the second most
abundant mineral on earth, and
is a basic component of granite.
In a typical quartz countertop,
the raw quartz is crushed and
combined with pigments to give
it color, and resins (sticky stuff)
to hold it together. The resulting
process creates one of the most
durable countertop surfaces on
the market today. It is harder
than granite, more scratch and
stain resistant, and non-porous.
For the geologists who follow the
K&B Insider, quartz ranks #7 on
the Mohs hardness scale! Only
diamonds, sapphires and topaz
are harder. The cost of quartz and
the average granite slab is comparable.
The newest offerings in
countertops are the eco-friendly
products such as PaperStone and
Richlite. They are made from recycled paper and/or cardboard
and come in several colors. IceStone is made from recycled glass
(supposedly beer bottles), and
Portland cement. These products
are great for the environment,
however, as with most “green”
products, they are usually more
expensive than their traditional
counterpart.
As with all decisions in upgrading your home, don’t rush
in making your selection for the
countertop. Thoroughly investigate all the possibilities with your
contractor and select a surface
that is suited to your needs, as
well as visually pleasing.

an advance directive. We say
“unsurprisingly,” but perhaps
it is surprising that the gap
is not even wider, since only
about one-third of those with
chronic illness have signed.
People over age 65 are
about twice as likely to have
signed advance directives as
their younger relatives. Adults
under age 35 weigh in at only
about 10%.
There is a clear relationship between income (each
$25,000 increase in annual
income seems to correspond
with a 3-5% increase in signatures) and education (each
degree increases the signature
rate by at least 5%).
While some may find
these statistics interesting, it
doesn’t change the fact that we
should all have advance health
care directives regardless of
what our views and wishes
are with respect to end-of-life
care. After all, the point of preparing advance health care directives is so that your wishes
(not someone else’s) are carried out. Do you already have
an advance health care directive? Excellent, give yourself a
gold star! If not, what are you
waiting for? This is one of the
most important things you can
do for yourself and your loved
ones.
