Relay for the Life of Pelham Hopes to End Cancer
BY TONY SHEA
The American Cancer Society
sponsored the Relay for the Life of Pelham at Glover Field on June 4, 2016.
Hope was the message of the day
as many arrived to show their support
and celebrate not only the survivors, but
also those who still continue to struggle
against the disease of cancer.
Chances are you know someone
who has cancer. If not, then you certainly will in your lifetime. Approximately 15
million people in the United Sates are
living with cancer now. According to the
Centers for Disease Control, cancer is
the second leading cause of death in the
United States behind heart disease.
The event began at 6pm on a warm
and sunny evening and was scheduled
to go until 6am the following morning.
Why the unusual hours you might ask?
The answer is that the length of the
event, extending overnight, is meant to
symbolize a cancer patient’s journey, the
light and dark and hopefully the light
again, as a patient suffers through the
physical effects of the disease (and its
treatment), and the emotional ups and
downs that occasion a cancer diagnosis.
Because cancer does not stop, neither do
the relay participants as they make their
way around the track, lap after lap.
The relay movement for cancer
fundraising is now more than thirty
years old and began when Dr. Gordy
Klatt ran and walked around a track for
24 straight hours. Friends and supporters paid to run or walk with him and in
one day he was able to raise $27,000. And
today the relay movement continues
with more than 4,000 such events nationwide every year.
The program at Glover Field kicked
off as Chris Meindl, the Bring the Fun
Lead for the 2016 Pelham Relay for Life
Event Leadership Team, and Julianne
Hayes, the Event Lead, got things started,
Teamwork and Community Pride Help to
Create Pelham Civics Association Float for
Memorial Day Parade
Ken Shirreffs, President of the Pelham Civics
explains: “Every year The Civics proudly march
in the Memorial Day Parade. With Pelham Civic
member Joe Hall as Chairman of our Memorial
Day Committee, we also sponsor a breakfast and
lunch for our military personnel in the Town
House, distribute customized dog tags (thanks to
Bill Taubner and Ball Chain Manufacturing), and
this year, as a last minute idea, we built a float!
Mike Hade of Westchester Collision & Recovery
lent us one of his flat bed trucks. On Saturday, a
handful of Pelham Civic members built supporting railings around the open truck so the band Stellar Wolfs by Jason Jefferies - can safely play as
they travelled down the parade’s route. ASK Contracting Corp. sponsored all the materials, banners and bunting. It was a real group effort! The
community loved it!”
addressing the crowd.
“Let’s never forget why
we are here. Our survivors and
those no longer with us are
the reason we need to finish
the fight against cancer,” said
Meindl.
Next the pair asked
those assembled to raise their
hands in response to a series
of statements and questions
about how they might have
been helped by the American
Cancer Society. These included relatively soft admissions if
people had used the society’s
toll free hotline at 1-800-2272345, to more personal ones
if they had received a PSA test
for prostate cancer, a mammogram, a pap test, or had a
colonoscopy. Now normally

Rain Doesn’t Dampen Memorable Memorial Day

BY TONY SHEA
Rainy weather failed to
dampen the Memorial Day
spirit in Pelham this year.
While neighboring towns like
Bronxville and Ossining were
forced to cancel their planned
celebrations because of inclement weather, everything was a
go in Pelham on what was to
become a memorable Memorial Day.
Parade participants and
spectators arrived in mass to
express their patriotism and
heartfelt appreciation for those
who have served so valiantly in
the armed forces. As Pelham
resident John Chianese said,
“The parade is a great way to
instill civic pride in our children—recognizing the brave
men and women who have given their lives on behalf of our
country.”
The day began as the sun
peaked through the clouds,
drying roads soaked by the
previous evening’s rains. A
colorful array of parade participants congregated near the
Manor Club on the Esplanade.
Police and firemen in their
formal dress best adjusted
their white gloves. Boy scouts
in matching khaki shirts and
brownies in matching vests
assembled with their banners and flags. Veterans of the
American Legion in sports
coats and side caps laughed
and reminisced. Sailors and
soldiers, members of the navy
and marines, in their dress
whites and dress blues assembled into formation.
When the the parade began at 11:30am, the air was filled
with a stirring wave of sound
from the Pelham Memorial
High School Marching Band
and the Pelham Civic Association band, not to mention the
bagpipers from both the Local
3 Electricians Union and the
Police Emerald Society of Westchester, played for the crowd of
spectators who lined the roads,
cheering, applauding and waving flags.
The parade’s two-mile
long route wound onto Wolf’s
Lane (Fifth Ave) before arriving
at Pelham Veteran’s Park next to
Town Hall. There, Joe Durnin,
Sr. Past Commander of American Legion Post 50, presided
over the tribute to Pelham’s and
America’s fallen heroes before
a crowd of hundreds who had
gathered to show their support.
As he said during his opening
remarks, “To all who serve this
country, in whatever fashion,
especially you marines and sailors standing with us today, I say
God bless and protect you and
we thank you from the bottom
of our hearts. “
After an invocation from
Chaplain Fran Barbieri, the
crowd joined in reciting the
Pledge of Allegiance. Col. Michael T. Milkos was the keynote
speaker. Milko spent 35 years in
the military earning a number
of awards including the Bronze
Star and the Meritorious Service Medal before going on to
a private sector career as the
Director of Strategic Projects
for Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
Past Commander James Morris read aloud the names of Pelham’s war dead.
The Grand Marshall of
this year’s parade was Vita
“Ace” Pisano. Pisano has been
a resident of Pelham for 68
years and is a decorated veteran of World War II who was
at the legendary Battle of Iwo
Jima. Among the other dignitaries on hand were Congressman Eliot Engel, State Senator
Jeffrey D. Klein, Pelham Manor Mayor Jennifer Monachino
Lapey, and Pelham Mayor Michael J. Volpe.

continued from page 1
ashamed to reveal this information in
front of others, but a crucial part of what
the American Cancer Society does is to
provide a safe environment where survivors of cancer can be honest with each
other in order to share their experiences
and hope.
As Dr. Henry Lee of Radiation Oncology at New York-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital and Assistant Professor at
Columbia University Medical Center told
me, “It’s all about the journey on the day
of diagnosis, the journey of survivorship.”
Dr. Lee said he doesn’t have his patients refer to him as “Doctor,” instead
preferring that they call him by his first
name, in order to create a more humanistic environment which can sometimes
be lacking in a hospital or treatment center setting. “The future of cancer therapy
is understanding that the patient’s own
body is the most powerful weapon in the
fight,” he said.
Pelham Town Supervisor Peter DiPaola, NYS Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, County Legislator Jim Maisano, and
Joe Solimine, Sr. were also on hand and
addressed the crowd, before Hayes and
Meindl then concluded the first portion
of the program.
“As we walk these next twelve
hours, let the hope provided by these
cancer survivors guide us. Let us celebrate their lives and the lives of so many
that have been saved from cancer,” said
Hayes.
“Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and
something that will refresh us in return.
Never lose hope!” said Meindl.
As the Relay participants took their
places along the track, anthems of survival played over the P.A. system, including “We are the Champions” by Queen,
and “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten.
As the survivors, dressed in matching purple shirts, began their march, the
sky began to darken with dark clouds
and rain began to fall, but it did not
dampen their spirits. The remaining
participants joined in, a series of tributaries coming together to make a flowing
river of hope.
This year’s event consisted of 24
teams and 200 participants who have
raised over $34,000 to date.

Underway, and More Good Deeds
BY YASMIN JORGE
The Town of Pelham held its
Board meeting on Monday, June 6th,
at the Daronco Town House (20 Fifth
Avenue).
Highlights revolved around volunteerism and community programs
and events benefiting our residents
and local business.
The Pelham Recreation Committee selected John Mirra as the
2016 recipient of the John Marshall
Award. Mr. Mirra was honored for
his 18 years of service to Troop 1
Pelham Boy Scouts, which also just
celebrated its 100 Year Anniversary!
A loyal and tireless leader, Mr. Mirra teaches the scouts outdoor skills
during trips that include scuba diving and camping; and oversees activities that help towns, churches, and
other groups in need. He is known to
work with the boys even during the
summer.
“I’m America’s oldest living
teenager. It’s an honor to receive
this Award. It’s an honor to lead this
Troop,” said Mr. Mirra humbly.
The John Marshall Award is
named for Dr. John Marshall, a renowned physician of sports medicine, and orthopedic specialist to the
U.S. Olympic Ski Team. He was an
active, generous, and beloved member of Pelham. The Award is presented to a non-paid, non-staff, outstanding volunteer each year.

The Art of Problem Solving – Perennial Math in
Elementary School
BY YASMIN JORGE
From 3rd through 5th grades,
Perennial Math is the math for budding math wizards across Pelham’s
four elementary schools. The program consists of instruction (including new content and strategies)
and tests for students who elect to
enhance their math ability in groups
outside of regular class lessons. They
strive to achieve excellence through
worldwide problem-solving competitions, joining additional brainy peers
throughout the US, Canada, the UK,
and Turkey. These kids will sometimes even miss recess to learn and
compete!
Perennial Math is not for the
faint of heart as it truly challenges
young mathematicians with complex
word problems that otherwise leave
parents stupefied. Each year, hundreds of program participants are given monthly tests where they must independently solve six rigorous math
questions using multi-step strategies
of their choice. Students take exams
for their level, Grades 3 and 4 Rookie
tests and Grade 5 Intermediate tests,
respectively.
Beth Finkelstein, K-5 Math
Staff Developer, administered a total
of four tests in Pelham this season,
thus the highest score attainable is a
perfect “24.” Awards for individual
students are presented at Town Hall
meetings at the elementary schools
from May through June.
“It is exciting to present a challenging problem to the students and
hear them say... ‘This reminds me of
the ___ problem,’ and then see the
kids start to create charts, models
and calculations to begin to find a
solution. My favorite part is having
the students share their thinking and
see the different ways their peers approach a problem,” said Finkelstein.
Pelham chose to participate
in Perennial Math to give students
who enjoy problem solving another
opportunity to work on challenging
problems and to be persistent in their
Winners of “There Ought to be a
Law” Contest
Several months
ago, Assemblywoman Amy Paulin announced a contest entitled, “There Ought
To Be A Law.” Middle
school students were
asked to identify a
problem
impacting
New Yorkers and suggest a law that would
rectify the issue. Seventy-two students submitted proposals for legislation.
As previously announced, two of the four winners were from Pelham
Middle School. Sarah Jane O’Connor, an eighth-grader, was awarded first
place for proposing that the State mandate insurance coverage for basic
hearing aids. Paulin will draft a bill to mandate insurance coverage of
hearing aids in response to O’Connor’s proposal.
James Nespole, also an eighth grader, was awarded third place for his
proposal regarding the creation of a Good Samaritan Law, which would
protect people who take action saving children left unattended in a hot
car.
Connor (as seen above) visited Paulin in Albany, along with Dr. Rob
Roelle, PMS Principal; Dr. Peter Giarrizzo, Superintendent; and Maria
Thompson, Director of Humanities, where she was presented with a citation and made an appearance on the Assembly floor.
mathematical thinking. Many students
like the competition
involved, learning new
strategies and setting
goals for improvement
each month. In the
Pelham School District
there are currently 220
3rd through 5th graders participating in the
program.
All 220 Pelham elementary students are
commended for their
persistence and hard
work solving the complex math problems,
and received certificates of participation.
From the 220 Pelham
pupil attendees (combined 12,919 3rd
through 5th Rookie and Intermediate
participants worldwide) some earned
medals.
Top Team Scorer from Colonial
School (22/24), Benjamin Wolf Gorski was presented with the well-deserved Perennial Math Champion
medal on May 25th. When asked how
he prepared for Perennial Math, the
numbers-inclined Gorski said that he
practices, “Lots of IXL and tries types
of advanced math taught in higher
grades, even during the summer.”
For Gorski, as with his fellow
gifted young arithmeticians, the program was hard the first year. He did

give up. However, the second time
around, his math comprehension
and problem-solving skills greatly
improved. “My brain learned to think
that way mathematically,” he revealed.
Perennial Math was created
by Dr. Sylvia Dean, a specialist and
administrator from Huntsville, Alabama, the Rocket City (and home of
NASA, Space Camp, Redstone Arsenal, and many space, defense, and
technological companies). Dr. Dean
has received many awards for her involvement and coordination of math,

Parents Urged to Take Active Role in Teen
Safety this Spring and Summer
We, the Police Chiefs of Pelham
and Pelham Manor, wish to call everyone’s attention to the increase in
underage drinking and substance
abuse during the spring and summer
months. Nice weather, prom, graduation, and the end of school are wonderful—but they also give our kids
the opportunity to take part in risky
behaviors. We urge all families to talk
to their children and give them advice
on the dangers and legal ramifications
of underage drinking, the importance
of making good decisions, and staying
safe during this party season.
MESSAGES FOR PARENTS OF PELHAM TEENS:
During the month of June alone,
11,600 teens each day will try their
first drink of alcohol (Bradford Health
Services, 2016). Take time to discuss
the serious consequences of underage
drinking, illegal substance use, DWI,
and vandalism with your teenagers.
Make time to listen and answer their
questions. Here are some suggestions
for issues to discuss with your family.
• Remind youth that law enforcement will step up their efforts
with increased patrolling and stricter
application of the law to offenders.
Underage drinking, substance abuse,
DWI, and vandalism are serious
crimes and the law will be enforced.
• Discuss the serious consequences that an arrest may have on
your teen, such as severe legal penalties, denial of future college acceptance, or even college acceptances
being rescinded.
• With texting and social media,
small gatherings can quickly get out of
hand, either by design or by accident.
Remind your teenagers of this fact
and that, despite plans to “just have
a few people over,” the party giver
may be subject to arrest. Also, please
remember that when a few police
officers are attempting to manage a
large, sometimes unwieldy, crowd, it
is difficult to tell who is drinking and
who is not.
• Remind your teenagers that
New York State recently passed the
Good Samaritan 911 Law to ensure
that people who call 911 in a timely
manner won’t be prosecuted when
someone they are with is experiencing an overdose. It states, “A person,
who, in good faith seeks health care
for someone who is experiencing a
drug or alcohol overdose or other
life-threatening medical emergency
shall not be charged or prosecuted for
a controlled substance offense.”
Parents are also reminded that
hosting underage drinking parties
isn’t just illegal for the teens involved,
but also for the adults in the home,
even if they didn’t supply the alcohol.
Under Westchester County’s social
host law, parents who host are subject

continued from page 11
to criminal and civic liability.
If you will be away, tell your
neighbors or inform the police
and ask them to keep an eye on
the house. A large party could
be planned, or one can develop
spontaneously.
While alcohol is the main
substance abused by Pelham
teens, it’s important to discuss the dangers of marijuana
with your kids, too. Marijuana
interferes with development
of the adolescent brain and
remains illegal for recreational use in New York State, but
its legalization in a handful of
states has led to a perception
among teens that it carries less
risk.
One more important
matter: the safety of our young
people.
Our villages are generally very safe. However, we have
five major thoroughfares—
Shore Road, Boston Post Road,
Colonial Avenue, Boulevard,
and Lincoln Avenue as well as
the Hutch and I-95—that pass
through our community. Individuals and small groups walk-
ing around late at night are
tempting targets for those who
may be passing through, and
incidents do occasionally occur in each village. Please talk
with your teenagers about the
dangers of walking alone or in
small groups late at night. We
strongly urge parents to pick
up their teens and offer their
friends a ride home.
Spring and summer are
a happy and busy time. Let’s
also make them safe and substance-free seasons for our
youth.

County Harvest, Inc. Organizes Multiple
Food Drives to Stock Westchester Food
Pantries for Summer
This spring, County Harvest, Inc. organized food drives with Huguenot
Nursery School, Prospect Hill Elementary School, Siwanoy Elementary School,
Hackley School and School of the Holy Child to collect non-perishable goods to
stock food pantries throughout Westchester County. There is a national focus
on collecting food and reducing hunger during the month of May.
Student government representatives, classmates, teachers and County
Harvest, Inc. volunteers collected more than 700 pounds of food for the cause.
The donations included Parmalat, pasta, cereal, canned vegetables and meats,
peanut butter, rice, ready-meals, beans and other provisions.
The food donations were loaded into County Harvest vans and volunteer
vehicles and delivered to the following partner agencies: West HELP in Mount
Vernon; New Rochelle CAP in New Rochelle; Hope Community Services in New
Rochelle; and the YWCA in White Plains.
These County Harvest, Inc. partner agencies provide a broad range of services to the community including food pantry access, on-site day care, shelter,
healthcare, volunteerism, senior nutrition, child care referral, alcohol counseling, outreach, and additional support programs.
County Harvest is an all-volunteer organization that rescues good excess
food from supermarkets, wholesale clubs, country clubs and caterers and delivers it to over 30 agencies in Westchester. Our third van was added to the
County Harvest fleet in 2013 through the generosity of the Sandra and Lawrence Simon Family Foundation.
County Harvest, Inc. is a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization whose volunteers rescue good, unused food from a variety of food donors and deliver it
immediately to soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters in Westchester County. Our mission is to help communities in Westchester County
as a food rescue organization by connecting food donors with agencies serving
people in need.

The event featured a
number of fun non-competitive events for kids aged K-5
(although many older siblings
enjoyed the day too), including an obstacle course, long
jump, high jump, tug-of-war,
sack races, and a water slide
that proved to be the most
popular event of the day, as
children patiently waited
in line for their turn to get
soaked.
Athletes also participated in the Gerry Walls
Memorial 1k Cross County
Challenge, named after the
former Pelham resident and
avid runner who died from
skin cancer in 2002.
When it was all done,
everyone was a winner.
Children and their parents
celebrated with free hotdogs
and sodas — and of course
ice cream from the local Good
Humor truck. All the children
who participated received
commemorative t-shirts and
medals,
hopefully
inspiring
them
to
reach
for
new athletic
heights in
the coming
years. While
they won’t
be ready to
compete in
this year’s
summer
Olympics
in Rio Da Janeiro, Brazil, who
knows what they may be able
to achieve.
The Pelham Civic Asso-
ciation was founded in 1939
and currently has more than
150 volunteer members. In the
more than 75 years of its existence, the Pelham Civic Association has prided itself on making charitable donations and
performing other charitable
acts for the youth and senior
citizens in our community,
helping those that are financially in need and/or mentally
challenged, and all the while
encouraging the community
spirit and pride that are the
hallmarks of Pelham.
As resident Paul Reynolds, whose four children participated in the day’s events,
said, “There was incredible
participation. How many communities do you see like this?”
Indeed.

June 1, 2016 -- INVESTIGATION
Police met with Pelham School District Director of Technology and the
Technology Assistant from the Pelham School District at police headquarters. They stated that on May 26,
2016 an elementary school teacher at
Prospect School had opened up her
email account and one of the emails
had a virus. They further stated the
virus had infected the elementary
school computer server. The complainant advised that the main computer server for the four elementary
school is located in the high school
building. Once the teacher received
the virus, the virus entered the server
and then infiltrated the other elementary schools computers. The virus had
deleted all the data from the server.
The technology department took the
teacher’s computer from her classroom and brought it to the high school
building where a trace was conducted.
They were able to retrieve all the data
and place it back into the server. At this
time no data is missing and all computer systems are back to normal. It
was also noted that the trace located a
ransom note that indicated a virus had
entered the school district and it could
be repaired if certain directions were
followed. All systems are now operating properly and the case was closed
after the investigation.
June 3, 2016 -- FIRE
County Control called on Pelham Fire
Department is assist Con Edison with
entry into a home on Cliff Avenue. Police were dispatched to that location
on the report of a gas leak. Con Edison
stated that they required entry to 5
other Cliff Avenue homes. Access was
gained and all was found to be in order.
Con Edison stayed on the scene for further work.

DISTURBANCE
Police responded to an establishment
on Fifth Avenue. On arrival they found
a man being escorted out of the bar.
Police spoke with the man who was
belligerent and appeared intoxicated.
He was upset because he had been removed from the establishment due to
inappropriately speaking and putting
his arm around another person in the
bar. The gentlemen was advised by the
police that his evening at the bar was
over and he had to go home. No further
action needed.
June 7, 2016 -- DISTURBANCE
