Band of Parents Puts Cancer
“In the Penalty Box”
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
“Band of Parents,” (BOP)
(www.bandofparents.org),
a non-profit 501c3 group
founded in 2007 at Memorial
Sloan Kettering Center, New
York City (MSK) by parents
of pediatric cancer patients
aims to “Put Cancer in the
Penalty Box, Go Gold for Pediatric Cancer” at a skating
charity event at the Ice Hutch,
655 Garden Ave., Mt. Vernon
on Sunday, September 18 at
3:00 p.m.
Skate rentals are included with admission. All
proceeds will be donated to
MSK Center to fund pediatric
cancer research. “September
is ‘Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month,’ according to BOP
President Dr. Jill Ostrager-Cohen, a physician at Westmed
and mother of Andrew, 9 who
twice survived Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. “’Put Cancer in
the Penalty Box’” is a joint Bar
Mitzvah project of my son,
Ethan, 13 and friend Josh Lebowitz, 13. Gold is the color for
pediatric cancer, just as pink
represents breast cancer.
Times Square is ‘going gold’
on Monday, September 19.
“To date, BOP has donated over $5 million dollars
to Sloan for neuroblastoma
FA L L I N T O
research since 2007.
“Andrew was a happy,
healthy, normal 3 ½ year-old
boy in May 2010. Then one
day he started limping, had
fevers and loss of appetite.
Within three weeks he had a
lot of pain all over his body,”
Ostrager-Cohen continued. “I
would wake up in the morning in pain,” Andrew added.
“It got to the point where
Andrew could not walk anymore,” Dr. Ostrager-Cohen
continued.
“He was diagnosed with
Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.” “I
got chemo and after the second time, vaccines,” Andrew
noted. Dr. Ostrager Cohen
added that Andrew received
radiation, 13-hour abdominal
surgery and complete immunotherapy, “a growing means
of treating cancer these days,
using antibodies to harness
the patient’s own immune
system to fight whatever cancer cells that are left.
“It is a very rare cancer.
Only 600 children a year are
diagnosed with it. The issue
with pediatric cancer is that it
is grossly underfunded,” Ostrager-Cohen stressed. “Only
4% of the National Cancer Institute funds go to pediatric
cancer. Being a rare disease,

ArtsWestchester Announces Grant
Opportunities for Artists and
Community Projects
ArtsWestchester invites artists and non-profit
organizations to apply for
2017 Arts Alive Grants.
Awarded annually, these
grants are specifically
designed to support community-based artists and
emerging arts organizations.
The variety of projects that receive Arts Alive
Grants each year illustrates Westchester’s artistic and cultural diversity.
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, October
4, 2016.
“At the core of ArtsWestchester’s mission is
making arts accessible
to people of all communities, backgrounds, income brackets and age
ranges throughout Westchester
County.
Arts
Alive Grants make this
possible and engage people who may not have the
opportunity to participate in the arts,” explains
ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam.
An independent panel
comprised of artists, as
well as business, civic and
cultural leaders will review the applications and
make award recommendations to ArtsWestchester’s
Board of Trustees. Funds
are available in two categories:
• Arts Alive Project
Grants provide financial
support for a range of
projects that demonstrate
a strong community benefit.
• Arts Alive Artist
Grants provide direct support to artists to create
new work related to the
community.
Projects
supported
this year included writing
workshops for students
in Greenburgh, affordable live jazz concerts in
Mount Vernon, free ethnic arts festivals in White
Plains and a series of clay
sculptures that highlight
the diversity of Westchester’s communities. Also
funded through Arts Alive
was a staged reading at
Paramount Hudson Valley,
based on local playwright
Mona Z. Smith’s telling of
the true story of Canada
Lee, an African American
actor who was blacklisted
in Hollywood due to his
civil rights stance.
ArtsWestchester has
scheduled several preapplication
workshops
throughout Westchester
to assist potential appli-
cants with the application
process. One-on-one technical assistance is also
available by appointment.

Superintendent Osborne Points
with Pride to AP Capstone
Diploma Program
City School District of
New Rochelle Superintendent
Dr. Brian G. Osborne, Ed.D.
proudly stated that New Rochelle High School will be one
of the few schools in the State
offering the prestigious Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Program.
“AP Capstone is a Diploma designation that students
can earn if they successfully
complete a year-long research
course and year –long seminar
course with curriculums and
assessments developed by the
College Board,” Dr. Osborne
said. “If students successfully
complete both courses and
earn a 3 or better (grade point
average) on 4 AP Classes, they
would have an AP Capstone
Designation on their Diploma,
highly desirable and competitive when applying to college.
“We also have a partnership with Westchester Community College in which students can take credit-bearing
courses and not be subject to
taking remedial courses for
which they would not receive
college credits.”
Dr. Osborne welcomed
two new Assistant Principals
to Albert Leonard Middle
School, Dan Goldberg and
Patrick Keevins as well as new
George M. Davis Elementary
Dr. Brian G. Osborne, Ed.D.
Principal Anthony Bambrola.
Davis Principal Michael Galland is now at Columbus Elementary School. Ken Levy is
Interim Principal at Barnard
School.
“New offerings in Science
Technology Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) at the
Middle School include emphasis on coding, robotics, design
principals plus engineering
concepts throughout all of our
schools.
“We are pioneering enrichment by using STEM units
in the Trinity School Fourth
Grade this year.”
In other developments,
the Board of Education unani-
mously approved the appointment of Dr. Magda Parvey to
the newly established position
of Assistant Superintendent/
Chief Academic Officer. Parvey will oversee all instructional programs, developing
goals for New Rochelle’s instructional program emanating from the District’s Strategic
2015 Roadmap.
Also, NRHS Principal Reginald Richardson is teaching
a class about advanced topics
in African-American studies,
a college-like course with required reading and in-class discussions including American
history, world history, gender,
race, economics and literature.

SummerFEST: Three Days of Caring, Concern
and Fun
SummerFEST,
(Fun,
Education/Exercise, Swim
and Scholar Time) a threeday festival with games,
guest speakers and social
activities publicizing New
Rochelle Cares Aging in
Place (AIP)
culminated
with a barbecue on Thursday, August 18 at Beth El
Synagogue Center, New
Rochelle in conjunction
with Temple Israel New Rochelle.
All three organizations were funded by a UJA
Federation of New York
grant.
Over 150 senior citizens attended over the
three-day period. The notfor-profit
organization,
founded and led by AIP
President Frankie Shahar,
promotes New Rochelle seniors to live independently
at home.
“’New Rochelle Cares’
is part of a national movement of 40,000 people who
are affiliated with AIP programs from Boston, MA to
Portland Oregon and many
communities in California,” Ms. Shahar observed.
“The purpose is that there
are many people who desire to age in place and support others who would like
to age in place.
“We give assistance to
people in transportation
in cultural and social programs to remain active and
increase their social circle.
It has been shown that longevity is attributed to social interaction.
As people age, many
of their friends pass away
and this is an opportunity to expand one’s social
circle and hopefully, one’s
intellectual circle as well.”
“This is a phenomenal
program,” Beth El Jewish
Center Associate Rabbi
Josh Dorsch exclaimed.
“Although our Congregation has a tremendous focus on youth, we realized
that a significant portion
of our population would
benefit from the New Rochelle Cares AIP program,
bringing people together,
just having a lot of fun together.
“This is a tremendous
opportunity for intergenerational
programming,
bridging gaps between
communities to work together with other Jewish
organizations and nonJewish organizations and
communities in New Rochelle. It is really beautiful to see everyone come
together for a program like
this.”

MacMillan Cancer Support
(www.macmillan.org.

as a cancer of specialized
nerve cells called neural
crest cells. “These cells are involved in the development of
the nervous system and other
tissues.
“Neuroblastoma
most
commonly occurs in: either
one of the two adrenal glands
situated in the abdomen;
or nerve tissue that runs
alongside the spinal cord, in
the neck, chest, abdomen or
pelvis.
“In some cases, neuroblastoma can spread to tissues
beyond the original site such
as the bone marrow, bone,
lymph nodes, liver and skin or
other organs (Stage 4).”

Local Teen Completes Prestigious HOPP Summer Program at MSKCC
BY YASMIN JORGE
Each year Memorial
Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center (MSKCC) offers
The Human Oncology and

Program
(HOPP) Summer Student
Program for high school
students who are interested in pursuing careers
in the biomedical sciences.
The program focuses on
two specific areas: Independent research and a
stimulating learning environment; and extracurricular events, tours, training
and lunches.
This past summer, local
student Isabela Lamadrid
secured a coveted spot in
HOPP. The 16-year old, who
attends Bronxville High
School and will be a junior
this fall, provided an overview of her background and
how this helped her achieve
success in the prestigious
Isabela Lamadrid in the Lab.

Lamadrid always loved
science, and continues to
enjoy learning about how
the world works.

experience has definitely
influenced my passion for
the sciences and convinced
me to pursue science as a career,” she said.
Lamadrid also started
her own club in school last
year, gSTEM for girls, although boys interested in
STEM could join as well.
Principal Meyer served as
the group’s adviser, a former science teacher herself
and very supportive of the
teen’s efforts to elevate science awareness to other
young woman at Bronxille
High School. “Science can be
very cool, and chic. We designed really cute t-shirts!,”
added Lamadrid.
In the HOPP Program,
Lamadrid was provided an
opportunity to do real science research on something
she is further passionate
about.
The Westchester
student enjoyed spending
this past summer in activities that would prepare her
for a career in medicine.
She studied under leading
cancer researchers at a renowned center, and worked
with adults who mostly have
PhDs in science. She and fellow program interns (from
tri-state area high schools
including Regis, Hunter College High School, Greenwich
High School, Riverdale, and
the Bronx High School of
Science) were exposed to
doing educational Western
Blots, Pipetting, Tissue Culture, MMT Assays, and liked
working with the lab mice.
The eight-week intensive
HOPP Program culminated
in a science poster symposium where all the interns
presented their research
projects to PhDs, MDs, parents, and science teachers.

Girl in Transit: Cuba
Can’t we all Just Get Along? Turns Out, We Can!
BY BARBARA BARTON
SLOANE
A history-making event
occurred on May 1, 2016 – for
the first time in over 50 years
a cruise ship from the United
States set sail for Havana,
Cuba. History-making, as
well, was the fact that for the
very first time in decades individuals born in Cuba were
permitted to enter the country by sea. However, for two
weeks prior to departure, it
sure looked as though this
crossing would be snarled
in the red tape of an anachronistic Cuban law (barring
Cubans to return by sea) and
we travelers would be denied
the thrill of this momentous
occasion. After intense negotiations between Carnival
Corporation (they own the
Fathom Adonia on which
we’d be sailing) and the Cuban government, there was
a happy ending to the glitch
and a joyous beginning to
this cruise. Cuba, aqui vamos!
People2People
Carnival Corporation,
the world’s largest leisure
travel company, is justifiably
proud to have been the first
to receive approval from the
U.S., the first to receive approval from Cuba, and a most
dramatic first to bring Cuban-born passengers to the
country by sea. The Fathom
line is Carnival’s social impact brand and the 704-passenger Adonia was our home
for seven days. This was
genuine impact travel - travel
with purpose - with opportunities to build friendships
with like-minded travelers,
to become immersed in another culture, and to interact
with the Cuban people, one
on one.
On board were Dominican and Cuban-inspired
meals, a pool, a gym and a library. We had an orientation
of Cuban history, customs,
and culture as well as the
opportunity to participate
in interactive workshops to
prepare us for our upcoming
experience. I loved the Latin
Havana
dance classes and learning
some Spanish phrases was
helpful. Shown each night
was a different current film
and later, DJ dancing went
on into the wee hours. Traveling with us was the Cuban
6-piece Septeto Union band
blasting wonderful Afro-Cuban music and salsa from Miami to Havana, putting us all
in a happy, expectant mood.
Bienvenida a La Habana
The time had come.
Early in the morning we
were given small Cuban and
American flags to wave as
we entered the narrow strait
into Havana’s harbor. As the
Adonia cruised along the
city’s malecon walkway, (aka
“Havana’s sofa” or living room because it’s
where locals hang out),
hundreds and hundreds, young, old, babies and kids gave highfives and blew kisses.
They lined the sidewalk shouting “Hola,”
and waving American
flags, all to the cacophony of our ship blasting
out its own greeting.
The emotion on both
sides of the water was
highly charged and
deeply moving, particularly for the Cubans
on board.
Pulling up to the
ship terminal, it seemed that
all of Cuba’s media and dignitaries were waiting to greet
us. The first to disembark
and enter the terminal was
none other than Carnival’s
very own Cuban-born lead
counsel Arnie Perez and his
wife, a fitting honor as he was
pivotal in brokering the Cuban ex-pat deal and allowing
Fathom to sail forth. He was
followed by Carnival CEO
Arnold Donald, also onboard
to mark the occasion.
Walking through the
terminal to exit onto the
street was a trip in itself. This
long passageway was filled
with dancers and singers in
colorful costumes, setting the
stage for what was to come.
Finally, in the city of Old Havana, built in the 16th century and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage site,
we found ourselves in the
breezy Plaza de San Fancisco
de Asis. Built when Spanish
galleons stopped by on their
passage through the Indies
to Spain, this plaza is notable
for its uneven cobblestones;
also, around the corner is the
white marble Fuente de los
Leones (Fountain of Lions)
carved by the Italian sculptor
Giuseppe Gaggini in 1836. I’ll
remember this square always
as one of the gayest places
ever. Teeming with folks
waiting to welcome us personally, we were surrounded

Vietnam War Memorial on City
Hall Grounds Proposed
A proposed Vietnam
War Memorial on the
grounds of New Rochelle
City Hall, flanking the existing World War II Memorial,
requested by United Veterans Memorial and Patriotic
Association (UVMPA) was
discussed at a Special City
Council meeting on Monday,
August 8.
UVMPA also asked to
temporarily erect 2,997
American Flags, also in
front of City Hall in memory
of those who lost their lives
on September 11, 2001 with
addition of four flags commemorating those who died
in Benghazi on September
11, 2012. The Vietnam Monument would be funded by a
gift from UVMPA; the City
would be responsible for its
maintenance.
Council authorized the
proposal, subject to approval by the Municipal Arts
Commission.
A Public Hearing was
scheduled for Monday, September 12, regarding City
Council salary increases.
“Council salary of $23,000/
year commencing on January 1, 2008 shall be increased
using the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) for the New
York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area as of December 1,
2007, divided by CPI of December 1, 1993, multiplied by
$23,000.
“Commencing
January 1, 2008 the salary of the
Mayor shall be increased by
CPI for
New York/New Jersey
Metropolitan Area as of
December 1, 2007 divided
by CPI of December 1, 1995,
multiplied by $63,500. If the
City’s budget reserve goes
below 5% there would be no
increases. It was passed by
Roll call vote 4-3, with Mayor Noam Bramson, Council
Members Barry Fertel, Liz
Fried and Jared Rice voting “aye;” Councilmen Ivar
Hyden, Albert Tarantino
and Lou Trangucci dissenting.
An agreement was
reached between City Administration and Civil Service Employees Association
on July 6, 2016, covering
the years 2016-2020. Salary
increases: 2016, 2017=2.5%;
2018, 2019 and 2020=3%.
Longevity: Increase of
$120 for 5 years of service;
$140 for 10 years; increase of
$240 for 15 years of service;
also small increases in parental leave days, City contributions to Employee Benefit Fund and Work Clothing
Allowance. Total cost to the
City over the 5 year period
is $1,069,937.
Band of Parents Puts Cancer “In the Penalty Box”
by smiles and handshakes
and the men in our group had
both cheeks kissed by pretty
girls offering fat cigars.
Additionally, there are
three other main squares.
Plaza Vieja is Havana’s most
architecturally eclectic where
Cuban baroque nestles seamlessly next to Gaudi-inspired
art nouveau. Plaza de Armas
is known for its famous booksellers’ market. Here one can
sit under a tree and peoplewatch or browse around
the numerous stands selling books on “Che.” Then, of
course there’s Plaza de la Revolucion where Fidel Castro
has addressed millions of Cubans on numerous occasions,
and where Pope Francis held
Mass on his 2015 visit. Conceived by French urbanist Jean
Claude Forestier in the 1920s,
this gigantic plaza was part of
Havana’s “new city” that grew
up between 1920 and 1959.
Hemingway: Found!
Although there are many
Cuban towns that claim a
Hemingway connection, there
is one that has good reason to:
Cojimar. This town lies just 20
minutes east of Havana and is
a picturesque fishing village
where, indeed, Hemingway
docked his boat El Pilar. Not
only did he use the town as a
base for fishing, Cojimar was
the background for one of his
most famous works, The Old
Man and the Sea. I made sure
I had a Cuba Libre at La Terraza, a bar/restaurant where
the view from its seaside dining room overlooks the basin
where El Pilar was typically
moored. The room is ringed
with photos of the author himself on his numerous fishing
expeditions. For aficionados of
Hemingway and his work, this
is a must-see.
Old Men and the Sea
Our next port of call was
Cienfuegos, Cuba’s so-called
Perla del Sur (Pearl of the
South). Here there is an elegant
colonial spirit blended with
feisty Caribbean panache that
I found irresistible. Trekking
down to the waterside I spied
three very senior gentlemen
making music on guitars and
a violin. I requested one of my
old Spanish favorites, Quizas,
Quizas, Quizas, and they were
happy to oblige. I found a seat
on the bayside’s wall and spent
a sweet half hour with these
musicians serenading me as
I requested other songs such
as Besame Mucho and Chan
Chan.
Cienfuegos was founded
in 1819, one of Cuba’s newest
settlements. With its Frenchinfluenced, neoclassical buildings, wide boulevards and
sparkling bay, it is also one of
the most architecturally interesting, a factor that earned it a
UNESCO World Heritage Site
honor in 2005. Cienfuegos is
home to Teatro Thomas Terry,
a 950-seat auditorium, the
work of French and Italian
architects, built between 1887
and 1889 to honor Venezuelan
industrialist Tomas Terry. It
sits on the northern side of
Parque Jose Marti and its goldleafed mosaics on the façade
were remarkable. However,
it proved even grander as we
stepped inside –all Carrara
marble embellishments, handcarved Cuban hardwoods and
whimsical ceiling frescoes. The
theater opened in 1895 with
Verdi’s Aida and has witnessed
numerous landmark performances by the likes of Enrico
Caruso and Anna Pavlova. It
is also home to the Cantores de
Cienfuegos, an elegant choir
of 23 singers that performed
for our small, fortunate group.
The choir has an eclectic repertoire and sang everything from
Renaissance and Baroque to
Negro Spirituals and Japanese
folk music. Honey Moreira
Abreu, its director, is a poised
and articulate woman who was
dressed in a garment of flowing dolman sleeves; when she
raised her arms to conduct,
the impression was almost angelic, her sleeves billowing like
wings. The choir’s singing was
precise and pitch perfect and
the conductor so charismatic
that by the recital’s end, we left
the theater utterly captivated.
Who knew? Well, happily we
know Cantores de Cienfuegos
now!
Dance with me
The third and final city on
this cruise: Santiago de Cuba, a
city that was the capital of the
country from 1522 to 1589. It
contains a rich and colorful
history including San Juan Hill
and a UNESCO site, Castillo de
San Pero de la Roca, a coastal
fortress constructed in 1637.
Santiago is a glittering, cultural capital that has played an
instrumental part in the evolution of Cuban literature, music,
architecture, and politics. Enlivened by a cosmopolitan mix
of Afro-Caribbean culture, it is
situated closer to Haiti and the
Dominican Republic than to
Havana. Nowhere else in Cuba
will you find such a colorful
combination of people with a
resounding sense of historical destiny. Fidel Castro used
it to launch his embryonic nationalist Revolution; Don Facundo Bacardi based his firstever rum factory here; and
just about every Cuban music
genre from salsa to son first
emanated from these dusty,
sensuous streets.
Santiago is the mother of
a peculiar musical style known
as “Trova,” and no visit to this
town would be complete without stopping by Casa de la Trova, a site where this renowned
style can always be found. I listened to an arpeggio of chords
and the singing of classic songs
of traditional music as I sipped
a Mojito and watched a boisterous performance by a dance
school of young, cheerful kids
- handsome boys and pretty
girls whirling around the floor
and then inviting our group to
join in, allowing us, at least for
the moment, to feel we were a
real part of this Cuban experience.
On this celebrated voyage
to three engaging and diverse
destinations, we experienced
the customized programs and
person-to-person connections
that transform a typical cruise
into one that embodies the
Travel Deep philosophy, a commitment to more meaningful
travel. That, in a nutshell, is
what Fathom and the Carnival
Corporation are all about –
providing experiences that elevate the human spirit. Cruise
– and Mission - Accomplished.

Estate Planning with
Individual Retirement
Accounts
BY BERNARD A. KROOKS,
CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY
For many of our clients, assets held in retirement accounts comprise
a significant portion of
their estate.
With the
decrease in the number
of companies offering
defined benefit pension
plans, planning and saving
for your own retirement
has taken on heightened
importance in the past
several years. According
to the Investment Company Institute, Americans
have approximately $24
trillion invested in retirement accounts, including
IRAs and other retirement
vehicles. This article will
focus on IRAs. If you have
other types of retirement
plans, it is important to review the plan documents
prior to taking action.
Generally speaking,
married couples name
each other as the beneficiary of their IRAs. This
is due to the fact that a surviving spouse is entitled
to rollover the deceased
spouse’s IRA into his own
IRA. These, and other tax
benefits, do not apply to
other non-married beneficiaries. However, if the
surviving spouse is receiving long-term care or is on
Medicaid, then it might
make sense to consider
other options which could
result in less beneficial tax
ramifications. The family
must weigh the long-term
care expenses against the
potential tax savings of
doing a spousal rollover.
This analysis should not
be done without the assistance of a certified elder
law attorney knowledgeable in tax matters.
In addition to naming
a primary beneficiary of
your IRA, it is also wise
to name contingent beneficiaries. These are the
people who would inherit
your IRA if your primary
beneficiary predeceases
you or upon the death of
the surviving spouse. It is
quite common for people
to name their children as
contingent beneficiaries
of their IRA. Instead of
children, or if you don’t
have children, you can
name other family members, a trust or charity,
among others, as the beneficiary of your IRA.
From a financial and
tax planning stand point;
it is generally desirable to
keep IRA assets invested
as long as possible.
Income and gains accumulated inside an IRA are not
taxed until the funds are
withdrawn. Whereas, assets outside of an IRA are
typically taxed each year.
Thus, assets inside an IRA
will tend to grow faster
since they are not depleted
by taxes each year. So, the
longer assets can remain
invested in an IRA, the
faster they will grow. In
the financial world, this
is known as a “stretch”
IRA. So, the younger the
beneficiary of the IRA, the
more it can be “stretched”
and the greater the tax advantages. If there is more
than one beneficiary, the
IRS has convoluted rules
for whose age is to be used
for purposes of calculating the distributions from
the IRA. Also, if a charity
is named as beneficiary,
the ability to “stretch” the
IRA will not be available.
Of course, there is
no guaranty that the IRA
beneficiary will go along
with the “stretch.” While
not wise from a tax perspective, the beneficiary
is free to withdraw all the
funds at any time; even if it
causes significant tax consequences. After all, one of
the things many of us have
learned is that the next
generation does not necessarily see things the way
we do. One way to maintain control over when the
beneficiary takes distributions is to make a trust the
beneficiary of your IRA;
however, the IRS has very
strict rules on the types of
trusts that will allow you
to obtain the tax benefits
of “stretching” your IRA.
If all the complex rules
and regulations are not followed, your beneficiaries
will have to pay taxes on
your IRA a lot sooner than
you would have wanted.
Also, by utilizing a trust
as the beneficiary of your
IRA, you can provide for
the special needs of a beneficiary who is disabled
without compromising his
government benefits. This
type of trust, however, is
different from the trust
you would use to “stretch”
your IRA and will not provide the same tax benefits.
In these scenarios, you will
have to balance the potential tax savings against the
possible loss of government benefits by not utilizing a special needs trust.
Confused? You’re not
alone. These rules are extremely complicated and
there are many traps for
the unwary. To get it done
right, you need someone
who is experienced in tax,
trust and elder law matters.
With $24 trillion
invested in retirement accounts, a lot is riding on
getting the proper advice.

When the Ship Hits the Fan!
BY PAUL BOOKBINDER,
M.I.D., C.R.
Obviously the headline has been modified to
be PC (politically correct)
however it’s my guess
that you know what was
meant. And I’m not alluding just to bathrooms.
Challenges (we don’t call
them problems anymore)
are inherent in remodeling and rear their ugly
head at the least opportune time.
The truth is that the
odds of accomplishing
a major bath or kitchen makeover without
the
slightest
problem
(whoops!) are slim. Very
little in life goes perfectly, and if you keep this in
mind when undertaking a
remodeling project your
experience will be much
more pleasurable. These
projects involve almost
every tradesman there
is; designers, plumbers,
electricians,
carpenters, cabinet-makers, etc.
There are countless areas
where challenges (phew!)
can
develop,
ranging
from discovering framing
that’s not to code to cabinets arriving damaged
or in the wrong color. So,
how do you minimize the
tribulations ahead of time
and what do you do when
something goes wrong?
Over the years I have
found that most contractors truly want to please
their customers. A recent
study by the National Association of Home Builders found that 64% of a
contractor’s jobs come
from friends, relatives,
and neighbors of their
previous customers and
20% comes from repeat
business. That accounts
for 84% of their new business; too large a number
to risk not doing satisfac-
tory work. But, what is the
definition of satisfactory
work?
Most licensed contractors are aware of the
“Industry
Standards”
that pertain to the type
of work that they are performing. These are the
acceptable tolerances regarding the installation
of new or replacement
products, and with these
guidelines there is no
question as to what is acceptable and what is not.
But there are problems
that can arise that do not
have clear-cut measures
of performance.
The most disappointing problem is when you
envisioned
something
very specific for your
project but the contractor did not grasp what
you were trying to describe. This can be very
difficult to problem solve
after the fact so it is imperative that you carefully review all plans and
drawings ahead of time.
Don’t be embarrassed to
ask questions regarding
the plans, until you are
sure that they accurately
reflect what you had in
mind.
Problems of damaged goods can easily be
rectified, but patience
is necessary. Occasionally something may arrive from the factory
damaged. Cabinets and
counters must first be
manufactured, packaged,
and then shipped by one
or more carriers. Truckers do not always realize
just how important your
materials are to you and
they are not always as
careful as they should be.
And even the most careful
workman can make a mistake on the job, they’re
only human. It’s realistic
to expect that there will
be some unforeseen problem, but being aware of
this will make your experience less stressful.
If you chose your contractor carefully, (see the
December Kitchen Insider©), when the “ship hits
the fan” they’ll be happy
to address any issues, on
a timely basis. But be patient! If something needs
to be replaced there are
time restrictions that
cannot be changed. The
remodeler wants the job
completed just as quickly
as you do.
In the rare instance,
when a problem cannot
be amicably dealt with,
seek out the help of an
arbitration board. This is
a service offered to mediate between parties and
render an impartial finding. Fortunately, if you’re
working with a licensed,
professional remodeler,
it is rare that you would
ever have to go to this extreme. Just talk to your
contractor; describe your
concerns in detail, and
try to come up with a solution.

Talented New Rochelle Teen Participates in
New Rochelle High School Student
Ana Acevedo and Educator Camille Edwards- Science Institute
Aaronson, one of
Thomas Selected for Bezos Scholars Program New Jacob
Rochelle’s budding scienThe City School District of New Rochelle and
New Rochelle High School are proud to announce
the selection of NRHS senior Ana Acevedo and
teacher Camille Edwards-Thomas to the 2016 Bezos
Scholars Program cohort.
Founded by the Bezos Family Foundation in
2005, the Bezos Scholars Program selects 30 top
high school students and exceptional educators
each year from across the U.S. and the African Leadership Academy to participate in a year-long leadership development program, including an all-expenses-paid trip to the Aspen Ideas Festival. After
attending the Festival, the Scholars return home to
organize their own community change programs,
known as Local Ideas Festivals (LIFs).
“The week I spent in Aspen provided me with
new views on difficult topics, a wonderful network
of inspiring individuals, and "big ideas," so I feel extremely fortunate to have been part of it all,” said
NRHS student Ana Acevedo.
Scholars choose the theme of their LIF based on
the intersection of their passion and a true community need. Previous festivals have been organized
around juvenile justice, STEAM education, and Ana Acevedo
civic engagement; and have drawn nearly 40,000 attendees since the program’s inception.
"We are thrilled to welcome another exceptional group of young leaders into BSP," said
Nicole Hanson, Youth Leadership Manager at the Bezos Family Foundation. "This year we
had an incredibly diverse applicant pool, with nearly every state represented. Students were
selected based on their academic rigor, intellectual curiosity, and demonstrated commitment
to change.”
BSP also reaches an international audience, with the South African Ideas Festival organized by Scholars at the African Leadership Academy.
tists, recently returned from
four weeks on the Weizmann
Institute’s campus in Rehovot,
Israel. The Weizmann Institute
of Science is one of the world’s
leading scientific research institutions, with nearly 4,000
researchers making a global
impact in areas ranging from
health and medicine, to alternative energy, to space exploration.
Aaronson, who graduated
from SAR High School in Riverdale this year, was one of 20 talented teens from the United States selected to participate in
the Weizmann Institute’s annual Dr. Bessie F. Lawrence International Summer Science Institute (ISSI). This prestigious program, which accepts only 1 in 4 applicants and provides full
scholarships to all participants, affords students the opportunity to conduct research with
world-renowned scientists in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. This
year’s American participants joined some 60 other young, future scientists from around
the world in experiencing the challenges and rewards of working alongside top scientific researchers, and learning about life in Israel.
“From analyzing the motion of disks in the physics lab to hiking in the Negev desert, my
four weeks in the ISSI program encompassed some of the greatest experiences of my life,”
said Aaronson, who will be spending a gap year in Israel before attending Binghamton University in the fall of 2017.
Aaronson added that he grew to appreciate the Weizmann Institute’s philosophy of
curiosity-driven research. “One of the most important lessons I will take away with me is
that science isn’t just about answering the questions you’ve been assigned to research,” he
explained. “A great scientist must pay attention to detail in their experiments and recognize
when things are just a little strange, because this is how great discoveries are made—by accident.”
