11th Annual StART Exhibition Features PMHS Student Works of Art

BY DOMINIQUE CLAIRE SHUMINOVA

OSilas Gallery at Concor-dia College in Bronxville held an Opening Reception for the 11th Annual StART Regional High School Student Art Exhibition on the snowy evening of Friday Jan-uary 6th in partnership with the Heart of Neiman Marcus Founda-tion – whose mission is to “help bring enriching arts experiences to youth...because ART changes lives.”

“The StArt exhibition has a meaningful impact on our area’s high school artists by providing them with a professional setting in which to showcase their works while giving them an opportunity to build their resumes and port-folios for college,” says Elizabeth Vranka, OSilas Gallery’s executive director.

This year’s StART Exhibition has eighty student participants from thirty high schools across the region, including Bronxville High School, Eastchester High

School, Harrison High School, Ma-maroneck High School, St. Catha-rine Academy in the Bronx, Tucka-hoe Academy, and Pelham Memorial High School.

“Art allows me to express myself,” says PMHS student Mia Randazzo. “As a second year AP Art student, I have developed an in-terest in mixed me-dia portraits. My junior year con-centration dealt

with surrealism and identity. This piece was my first attempt at mixed media. I en-joyed working with new materials such as oil pastel, pen and prismacolor. The portrait was drawn on a map to explore the motif of being lost.”

“For as long as I can remem-ber I have always loved to draw and create,” says PMHS senior Mary Vrahimis. “In elementary school I was the kid who looked forward to having art class once a week. I have always taken art classes, through middle school and high school, inside and out-side of school. I always look for-ward to Art because it relaxes me during the hectic school day. Tak-ing Art classes has pushed me to experiment in painting, ink, char-

coal, and more. Art is a very big part of my life and a true passion of mine.”

“Art has always been a huge part of my life,” says Rachel Ellen-bogen. “I can barely remember my first Art class. I have taken Art every year of school, and when it wasn’t available in sixth grade, I joined Art Club. Art is my escape from reality, it’s calming to sit down and shade in colored pencil,” continues Ellenbogen. “Although my favorite medium is colored pencil, I also enjoy using other

mediums and experimenting in sculpture. I have grown to have an appreciation for practice and technique, and I hope to continue growing when I pursue Art in col-lege.”

According to the Heart of Nei-man Marcus Foundation’s mission statement, “Research has proven that students who receive arts in their curriculum tend to matricu-late and graduate at higher rates, score higher on the SATs, and become more creative problem

What is the “Sow What Journey”?BY KIMBERLY ROSELL

On Saturday, November 26th from 11am to 3pm, Girl Scout Troop #1662 members Catherine Hynes, Kimberly Rosell, Girl Scouts Sophia Leung Troop # 1664, Audrey Leung Troop #1667, spearheaded by high school sophomore Kimberly Rosell, and local supermarket DeCicco & Sons collaborated to create a fun and interactive “Sow What Jour-ney” throughout the store. At the event, DeCicco customers from Pel-ham and neighboring communities were able to enjoy learning about the healthy advantages of different foods in an engaging way.

Pelham Girl Scouts welcomed individuals into the store while handing out informative flyers that had family-oriented, healthy reci-pes to try at home. Shoppers were given foodie facts about some pop-ular items including homemade peanut butter, guacamole, Nonna’s San Marzano tomato sauce, cannoli cream, fresh mozzarella, and a vari-ety of other foods. Customers were able to interact with the DeCiccos staff and visiting company dem-onstrators with various tastings of foods, learning about long-term benefits available to them through educational factoids. Different sta-

tions throughout the store were set up where customers were able to learn about and taste various healthy foods. When customers approached the fish and seafood aisles, they were told the salmon came from fish farms in the Faroe Islands. Customers also saw how the famous DeCicco mozzarella cheese was freshly made.

The Sow What Journey in Girl Scouting is a journey through the food network starting from seeds,

to cultivating foods, to preparing and to learning about local food markets and how they deal with food. Knowing more about how local supermarkets in town get their foods and how those foods are grown and distributed is im-portant in maintaining a healthy awareness when purchasing food. Completing this Sow What Journey is one step closer in the process of submitting a gold award proposal in girl scouting. Teaming up with a

local supermarket in town provided an opportunity for Kimberly Rosell from Girl Scout Troop #1662, as well as other Girl Scouts to explore the food system within the Pelham community, and share their knowl-edge with others. Their flyers gave Pelham residents new recipes to try, such as the “DeGuaco Taco,” and the “DeChicken Parm,” which includ-ed DeCicco products, such as their

guacamole and their mozzarella, in their ingredients.

Girl Scout Troop #1662 Cather-ine Hynes, Kimberly Rosell, Pelham Girl Scouts Sophia Leung from Troop # 1664, Audrey Leung from Troop # 1667 are very grateful to DeCicco & Sons! The oppor-tunity to work with DeCicco & Sons was wonderful, creat-ing the fun factoids, distribut-ing healthy recipes, engaging with the community and hold their best foodie interests at heart, the Girl Scouts, with the support from DeCicco & Sons, were able to share their

appreciation for foods with Pelham.

Throughout his career, Atkins has received several awards and commendations for excellent police service.

sacked, and finally aban-doned in other locations. Police did recover three of the four stolen cars. “Resi-dents, please lock your car doors and homes,” urges

William Foley of Pelham, New York died Decem-ber 28, 2016 at the age of 85. He was born in Chicago, Illinois to William and Hannah Foley who emigrated to America from Ireland. After attending Saint Adrian’s grammar school, he graduated from Saint Ignatius high school. William graduated from Loyola University and received an MBA from the University of Chicago. After serving as a trainer in the Army stationed in Germany, William worked at the Chicago-based advertising agency Burson-Marsteller and then at Young & Rubicam as Vice President and Director, where he remained until his re-tirement.

William and his wife Rosemary later moved from Chicago to settle in Pelham, New York, where he raised four children. William had a great passion and love for life, learning and world culture which he shared with his kids and grandchildren. He was very active in the local community. He supported The Pelham Fresh Air Fund. He gave his time to help promote the Pelham Art Center and was one of many who helped create the Pelham Pub-lic Library. He was also a member of The Wild Geese, a Connecticut-based Irish cultural organization.

He is survived by his loving wife Rosemary Foley, his daughter Georgiann Foley, his sons William, Robert and Thomas Foley, and his grandchildren Rebeka, Liam, Michael, and Sophia. William is survived by his siblings Gerald, Bob, Rita, Jack, and Kevin. A private ceremony of immediate family was held in Connecticut. There will be a larger memorial for William in the spring.

Works by College Faculty on Display at Westchester Community College

The Fine Arts Gallery at Westchester Community College is presenting works by faculty members from February 1 through April 15. The show entitled HY-BRID will feature work inspired by the description of that word: the definition of the noun is “something that is formed by combining two or more things.” Art made in the 21st century is often a hybrid of materials and techniques, requiring a multi-faceted skill set that transcends conventional boundaries of discipline or media. This exhibition will feature work by Westchester Community College Visual Arts faculty who exemplify this genre-bending trend.

Show hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Thursday evenings from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The gallery is located on the third floor of the Academic Arts Building, across from the theatre. For information, visit www.suny-wcc.edu/gallery or phone 914-606-6835.

Local Businesses Share the Love in Support of The Danny Fund’s Annual Valentine Ball

With Valentine’s Day smack dab in the middle, February is often consid-ered the month of love, a time to spoil your fa-vorite people with candy, cards, and maybe even something sparkly. And in many ways “sharing the love” is what The Danny Fund’s annual Valentine Ball is all about – hundreds of people coming together to make a difference in the lives of those dealing with the catastrophic illness of a child.

For almost twen-ty-five years, The Danny Fund has been offering financial, emotional, and advocacy assistance to area families whose lives have been turned upside down, and some very spe-cial local businesses have stepped-up in a big way to “share the love” in sup-port of the all-volunteer organization’s primary fundraiser, being held this year on February 11th, 2017 at The New York Ath-letic Club’s Travers Island location in Pelham Manor.

For the third year in a row Wa-ger Con-t r a c t i n g ’ s g e n e r o s i t y as the Event Sponsor has enabled The Danny Fund to host this w o n d e r -ful evening which will help even more fami-lies in 2017 and beyond. L o n g - t i m e s u p p o r t e r s M c C l e l l a n Sotheby’s In-t e r n a t i o n a l Realty and C o m p o n e n t A s s e m b l y S y s t e m s have also continued their gener-ous sponsorship of the Valentine Ball, ensuring the night’s success. The support of these business leaders is vitally import-ant to the endurance of the

non-profit’s mission.“It’s a very personal

thing that we do,” shares Pelham Detective John Hynes, President of The Danny Fund Board of Di-rectors. “We adopt fami-lies into our fold and our liaison’s and volunteers become very connected to them as they strug-gle through their ‘new normal’. And we are so grateful for the support of businesses like Wager, McClellan Sotheby’s and CAS, and the people who come to the gala because it means we can keep on be-ing there when these fam-ilies need us most.”

The Danny Fund strives to be a resource for their adopted families for as long as necessary – some illnesses take years to treat - and proceeds from the Valentine Ball go a long way towards achieving that objective.

PMHS Students Receive December 2016 HOPP AwardPelham Memorial

High School junior So-phia Juliano and fresh-man Nicholas Lieggi were honored with the December 2016 Heart of Pelham PACT (HOPP) Award, sponsored by Crossfit Westchester and Young Life of Lower Westchester County.

Sophia Juliano is being honored for her COMPASSION and IN-TEGRITY. A junior at PMHS, Sophia donates a lot of her time to serv-ing special needs youth in and around Pelham. She not only volunteers with Project Communi-ty Inc. (PCI) at its Friday Teen Night and Sunday Art programs, but she is also an active member of the PMHS Community Cares Club’s “Buddy Bunch” program, where members spend time with individu-als who have special needs.

“Sophia has been an amaz-ing friend and role model to my autistic daughter and her special needs friends,” said one adult who has no-

ticed her kindness. “She always picks up the phone when she calls and has no idea how she has changed my daughter’s life.” Sophia serves as an outstanding exam-ple of compassion and integrity, and our community is lucky to have her. We know these traits will con-tinue to blossom and benefit others throughout her life, making what-ever community Sophia lives in a better place to be. Thank you, Sophia!

N i c h o l a s Lieggi is being honored for his LEADERSHIP and COM-PASSION. A freshman at PMHS, Nicholas worked as a teen volunteer with The Teacher Institute of Lower

W e s t c h e s -ter’s Summer E x p e r i e n c e last sum-mer, where he stood out as a leader, despite his young age, particularly in his work with the y o u n g e s t students in the program. His sense of responsibil-ity, positive attitude and polite dispo-sition were noticed not only by the adults in the c l a s s r o o m , but also by those at other establish-ments when the children were taken on field trips. As adults in Nicholas’ life

noted, “He helped out in the classroom; was always hands on and inclusive of all of the young children; and was friendly, courte-

ous, helpful, mature, engaged…I could go on and on!” After demon-strating such traits at such a young age, we are confident that Nicholas will contin-ue to be an example of how to make children feel as if they matter and are safe—some-thing every commu-nity should strive to demonstrate. Thank you, Nicholas!

Congratulations to both Sophia and Nicholas!

Do you know a Pel-ham teen doing great things in the commu-nity and who demon-strates Compassion, Leadership, Integrity,

Perseverance, or Determina-tion? Nominate him or her for the Heart of Pelham PACT (HOPP) Award! Our next round of nominations are due by March 1, 2017.

Super Bowl –For Him and Her

BY CLAUDIA LUTZKY

All too quick, football season is over and we are tum-bling toward the inside-tailgate party of the year. Every-one gets together around the biggest screen they can find to watch and cheer on their favorite team. It has become a big-time food event. So, bring on the regular football favs – 6-foot Italian Hero, platter of sizzling wings – queso and nachos – well, what else? I think we’ve come up with some exciting ideas.

My first call was to Luisa DeCicco, to see what special ca-tering menu she prepared. Luisa’s catering assistant Kath-erine Fossella has some delicious ideas, for example, their Hummus Platter. The hummus is made fresh each day and it’s made without any preservatives, so eat up! The sushi/sashimi platter is another show-stopping display of small bites. It is A-1 perfectly fresh fish, rolled on site by skilled sushi masters. As beautiful as it is delicious, it makes a great centerpiece. Not easily dismissed, and perhaps my personal favorite -- a truffle and prosciutto grilled cheese platter. Sim-ply childlike and decadent at the same time. I wanted some tomato soup to go with.

Another ladie’s choice comes from Fairways Market. Order a Sate Platter – individual skewers of lamb, chicken and beef and served with great dipping sauces. Add a tray of small brioche slider-type sandwiches – filled with your choice of salmon, roast beef, grilled chicken, or eggplant, and it’s a unique spread for the football party and just the perfect size for a bite of sandwich (if the 6-foot size seems a little overwhelming). With all these fabulous choices, be careful, it all tastes so good you may be hosting next year’s party as well.

And, a tip to all my readers – J Café (Wolfs Lane & Sparks Avenues) has Free Hamburger Mondays from 3-6pm.Voted the Best Burger in Westchester by USA Today, it is 8 ounces of Angus beef, never frozen and comes dressed with lettuce and tomato. Brian, the new owner hopes you will enjoy the free burger and also make a purchase. I don’t know anyone who can turn that offer down. Delicious. Thank you, Brian. At some point this unbelievable give-away will have to come to an end, visit J Café while the getting is good (and free).

Prospect Hill Principal RetiringLong-time Prospect

Hill Elementary School Principal Dr. Richard Limato has announced plans to retire from the Pelham Union Free School District effective June 30, 2017.

“It is challenging to say goodbye, yet the time has come for me to tran-sition to a new chapter in life,” Dr. Limato said. “I do so with heartfelt gratitude for my years of service at Prospect Hill School, and fond mem-ories, these years have been the most profes-sionally rewarding of my career. I could not reflect on my twenty years in Pelham without honoring those of you, and the long line of Pros-pect Hill families who have brightened my life in count-less ways.”

Dr. Limato began his 21-year career as Principal of Prospect Hill in 1996.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Peter Giarrizzo said, “Dr. Limato has been a fine principal for many, many years. His ability to lead and connect with the students, staff and the community is re-markable and he will be sorely

missed by the District.“The Board of Education

and I extend our best wishes and sincerest thanks to Dr. Limato and his family as they embark on this exciting new chapter.”

The School District and Board of Education will im-mediately begin a nation-wide search for the school’s new principal and will engage the community as well as faculty and staff in the process.

Dr. Giarrizzo will soon meet with the Prospect Hill faculty and the PTA and will

then survey the community at-large to pinpoint the de-sired traits for prospective candidates. With this input, the District will develop a “leadership profile,” which will serve as a guide during the recruitment and inter-view process.

Assistant Superinten-dent for Curriculum, Instruc-tion and Personnel, Dr. Steven M. Garcia, Assistant Superin-tendent for Pupil Personnel Services, Rosemary G. Mat-thews, and Dr. Giarrizzo will screen resumes and then col-laborate to review and select a slate of top candidates.

It is anticipated that the new Prospect Hill principal will be announced by early May, allowing time to transi-tion with Dr. Limato.

“The hiring of a princi-pal is a critically important task,” Dr. Giarrizzo said. “A strong principal sets the tone for excellence and high expec-tations for teaching and learn-ing in a caring and supportive educational environment. Prospect Hill is a very special school, and I am excited about selecting a new leader that will partner with our commu-nity to continue the tradition of excellence.”

Why or Why Not to Vote for a Constitutional Convention

As required by New York State Con-stitutional mandate every 20 years, the November 2017 ballots throughout the state will ask the following question: “Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?”

The League of Women Voters invites the public to attend a meeting on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 to explain the history and meaning of that question. Sally Robinson, LWV of New York State Vice President of Issues and Advocacy, will discuss The Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of New York State’s Constitutional Con-vention Question. The meeting will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Church Street School Auditorium, 295 Church Street, White Plains. (Snow date February 28, 2017). For questions or directions, call 914-761-4382.

The LWVNYS has not taken a position on whether to support, oppose or remain neutral on the question of holding a constitutional convention and so LWVNYS’s goal, at this time, is to educate members of the public about important aspects of the question and to assist the League in its decision on what, if any, posi-tion the League will take on the question of convening a constitutional convention.

This program is organized by the LWV of White Plains and co-sponsored by the local Leagues of Harrison, Larchmont/Mamaroneck, New Castle, New Rochelle, Northeast, Scars-dale and the Westchester county league.

There will be time for questions from the audience. For additional information consult the New York State League of Women Voters website, www.lwvny.org. The program is free and open to all.

Former Pelham Country Club Controller Sentenced in the Embezzlement of Over $719,000

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced that

Gretchen Wauchope (DOB 12/31/69) of 15 Kensington Road, Ardsley, was sentenced by Judge Helen Blackwood to two and one third to seven years in state prison after having pled guilty to:

• one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a class “C” Felony,

• two counts of Criminal Tax Fraud in the Fourth Degree, class “E” Felonies.

From January 1, 2010 through Febru-ary 28, 2015, the defendant, who was the Controller of the Pelham Country Club in Pelham Manor, systematically embezzled funds for over five years. She drew and ne-gotiated checks from the bank account of Pelham Country Club to her own personal bank accounts and initiated electronic pay-ments from the club accounts to pay person-al credit card debts. Those embezzled funds were used to pay for luxury items such as a $100,000 recreational vehicle, regular high-end salon visits, luxury automobiles and rent on a private home that exceeded $4,000 month.

The total amount stolen in the larceny was $719,270.20.In addition, the defendant failed to pay New York State Income Tax on the monies that

she stole from the Country Club. The amount she owes in tax is $45,486. The larceny was discovered following an internal investigation by Pelham Country

Club who then referred the matter to the District Attorney’s Office.The defendant was remanded to the custody of the New York State Department of Cor-

rections.The defendant is also required, under restitution judgment orders, to repay $719,270.20

for the larceny and $45,486 in New York State taxes. Assistant District Attorney Robert Mayes and Assistant District Attorney Gwen Galef

of the Economic Crimes Bureau prosecuted the case.

New Legislation Requires Telemarketers to Use Correct Caller ID Information

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced a comprehensive plan to protect New Yorkers from deceptive telemarketing practices at a time when the number of Do Not Call complaints in New York State is on the rise. The initiative centers around newly signed legislation requiring telemarketers to use correct caller iden-tification information and also includes deploying Division of Consumer Pro-tection staff throughout the State to warn consum-ers about telemarketing scams and facilitate same-day consumer complaint filing, as well as increasing transparency in Do Not Call Law enforcement by posting settlements with violators.

“Despite already be-ing listed on the Do Not Call registry, New York-ers continue to find them-selves bombarded by calls from opportunists looking to defraud them out of their hard-earned money,” Governor Cuomo said. “This unscrupulous behavior and disregard of the law is unacceptable and we’re taking action to not only hold those who vi-olate the law accountable, but also increase transpar-ency and stop these deceiv-ing marketing practices in their tracks.”

New York Secretary of the State Rossana Rosa-do said, “Unwanted tele-marketing calls continue to be a nuisance to New Yorkers and a wasted sales effort for businesses. In New York State, if a phone number is on the Do Not Call Registry at the time of the telemarketer’s ini-tial unwanted sales call, its residents have a place to go when they are victims.”

The Governor signed legislation (S6809B/A.9457A) requiring tele-marketers to use correct caller identification in-formation. Many consum-ers complain that when a telemarketer calls, their caller identification ser-vice does not display the caller’s correct telephone information, such as the caller’s name or phone

number. This is especially problematic for consum-ers who have signed up for the National Do Not Call Registry, since they have neither the name of the telemarketer nor the number from which they are calling; making it dif-ficult to report violations of the Do Not Call law. This new law seeks to remedy that problem by requiring telemarketers to transmit accurate caller identifica-tion information.

The Division of Con-sumer Protection staff will be deployed across the State to educate New Yorkers, help them place their phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, and facilitate same-day consumer com-plaint filing in the face of deceptive new telemarket-ing tactics. Recently, tele-marketers have repeated-ly called consumers from the same phone number without leaving voicemail, giving the impression the call is from someone the consumer may know. When the consumer re-turns the call, they receive an unwanted sales pitch. The Division has already warned telemarketers that the this type of practice still constitutes a violation of the Do Not Call law if the repeated calls are being made to a phone number enlisted on the Do Not Call Registry.

The Division reminds consumers to report each and every unwanted call. Here are guidelines to place your phone number on the Do Not Call Registry and to file a complaint:

• File a Do Not Call complaint. If you receive an unsolicited telemarket-ing call after your number has been on the Do Not Call Registry for more than 31 days, you can file a Do Not Call complaint with the Federal Trade Com-mission online at https://www.donotcall.gov or by calling1-888-382-1222 (TTY 1-866-290-4236).

• File a complaint for each unwanted call. If your number is regis-tered, you can and should file a complaint for every

unsolicited telemarketing call you receive. Violators of the Do Not Call Law are subject to an $11,000 fine for every call they make to your phone.

• Register for Do Not Call online or by phone. If you are not registered, you can place your home landline or mobile phone number on the Do Not Call Registry online at https://www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222 (TTY 1-866-290-4236). Once you register your phone number, telemar-keters not exempt from the Do Not Call Registry have up to 31 days from the date you register to stop calling you. Exemptions from the Do Not Call Law include calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors. Companies with which you have an existing business relation-ship may still call you for up to 18 months (unless you ask them to place your number on their own do-not-call list).

• For information about a Do Not Call out-reach location near you, v i s i t h t t p : // w w w. d o s .ny.gov/consumerprotec-tion/informing/donotcall-outreachlocations.htm.

The New York State Do Not Call Law became effective in 2001, allowing consumers to place their home landline and person-al mobile telephone num-bers onto a central regis-try to reduce the number of unsolicited telemarket-ing calls received.

For more information on the Do Not Call Law, go the New York Department of State’s Division of Con-sumer Protection website at: http://www.dos.ny.gov/consumerprotection /do_not_call/.

For additional con-sumer protection informa-tion or to file a consumer complaint against a busi-ness, visit the New York Department of State’s Di-vision of Consumer Pro-tection website at http://www.dos.ny.gov/consum-erprotection/ or contact the Division’s hotline at (800) 697-1220.

Pelham Union Free School District Placed on the College Board’s 7th Annual AP® District Honor RollThe Pelham Union Free

School District is one of just 433 school districts in the U.S. and Canada being hon-ored by the College Board with placement on the 7th Annual AP® District Honor Roll. To be included on the Honor Roll, Districts, since 2014, must both increase the number of students partic-ipating in AP courses while also increasing or main-taining the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 or higher. Reach-ing these goals shows that Pelham is successfully iden-tifying motivated, academi-cally prepared students who are ready for AP.

The 2015-16 school year marked the fifth time Pelham has made the honor roll in the program’s seven-year history.

“Being named to the AP® Honor Roll proves that the District and Board of Ed-ucation’s efforts to improve programming and expand offerings in Advanced Place-ment courses is working and

benefitting our students,” said Superintendent Dr. Pe-ter Giarrizzo. “By removing barriers to all advanced level coursework at Pelham Mid-dle School and Pelham Me-morial High School, includ-ing AP and honors courses and through the hard work of PMHS Principal Jeannine Clark, the guidance depart-ment, and the high school teaching staff, we are pleased that more students are en-rolled in rigorous course-work and are continuing to be successful.”

Following an initial study in 2013 and recommen-dations from our Tri-States Consortium, the Pelham Union Free School District began allowing all students to enroll in honors and AP courses regardless of his/her academic history, provided

that the student had already taken prerequisite courses. By doing so, the District re-moved barriers and allowed more students to engage in a more challenging courses. This has become a core com-ponent of our 2014-19 Strate-gic Plan.

PMHS Principal Jean-nine Clark said, “This honor is attributed to our focus as a school, as well as our staff’s dedication and profession-alism. I am so proud of our teachers’ work as well as their connection to the stu-dents within the classroom.”

Trevor Packer, the Col-lege Board’s head of AP and Instruction said, “Congrat-ulations to all the teachers and administrators in this district who have worked so tirelessly to both expand access to AP and also to help

students succeed on the AP Exams. These teachers and administrators are deliver-ing real opportunity in their schools and classrooms, and students are rising to the challenge. Helping more stu-dents learn at a higher level and earn higher AP scores is an objective of all mem-bers of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college professors. Many districts are experimenting with initiatives and strat-egies to see how they can expand access and improve student performance at the same time.”

In 2016, more than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college cred-it, advanced placement, or both, and/or consideration

in the admission process. Inclusion on the 7th An-

nual AP District Honor Roll is based on a review of three years of AP data, from 2014 to 2016, looking across 37 AP Exams, including world language and culture. The following criteria were used.

Districts must: • Increase participa-

tion/access to AP by at least 4% in large districts, at least 6 % in medium districts, and at least 11% in small districts;

• Increase or maintain the percentage of exams tak-en by black/African Amer-ican, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Na-tive students; and

• Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 2016 percent-age of students scoring a 3 or higher to the 2014 percent-

age, unless the district has already attained a perfor-mance level at which more than 70% of its AP students earn a 3 or higher.

When these outcomes have been achieved among an AP student population in which 30% or more are underrepresented minori-ty students (black/African American, Hispanic/Lati-no, and American Indian/Alaska Native) and/or 30% or more are low-income stu-dents (students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), a symbol has been af-fixed to the district name to highlight this work.

Other police news in-cluded that NIXLE subscrib-ers are up -- over 100 users in one week at times. Some packages were stolen from home porches, which may be a seasonal occurrence.

According to the Vil-lage Clerk Report, building permits continue to stay busy as per Trustee Pier-pont. The Resolution autho-rizing the Village Manager, John T. Pierpont to sign IMA (inter-municipal agree-ment) with Westchester County -- the renewal of the agreement with Cablevision Lightpath was approved. “Cablevision provides In-ternet, voice, and light, which we use for our secu-rity cameras, website, data,” said Pierpont. “It is a link to our world of the Internet.”

The Resolution to ap-point election inspectors was passed. The election is March 21st. There will be five election inspectors hired at a rate of $18.75 per hour each.

Score a Touchdown with Healthy Snacks for the “Big Game”

We all know that the biggest star at the “Big Game” football party is the food! The American Heart Association (AHA) doesn’t want you to sack everyone’s healthy New Year’s resolutions with a par-ty spread filled with fried, fattening, salty or sugary foods. Keep plenty of heart-healthy options in the start-ing line-up to give everyone healthy options while cele-brating the big game.

“Offering healthy food choices can help people maintain a healthy weight, even at big parties. You can easily swap out unhealthy ingredients for healthier ones and adding more fruits and vegetables is a big game strategy that’s sure to score a touchdown for health!” said Carolyn Torella, AHA spokesperson, “February is American Heart Month, and this is a great opportunity to kick off the month with healthier meals.”

First Half Strategy – First down: start the game with salad and veggies. Fill up on the healthier foods first, then add in a few treats on your plate. Go with healthier appetizers like cut veggies and hummus, fat-free yogurt dips or gua-camole made with avoca-dos. According to research

published in the Journal of the American Heart Associ-ation, eating one avocado a day as part of a heart healthy, cholesterol-lowering moder-ate-fat diet can help improve bad cholesterol levels in overweight and obese indi-viduals. Use baked, not fried and whole grain versions of your favorite chips and crackers. Try low-fat cheeses with whole grain crackers or toasts, and choose assorted low-sodium or unsalted nuts, which are high in good fats and protein.

Halftime Rally – When planning your halftime buf-fet, throw the penalty flag on the worst party foods like fried Buffalo wings (up to 35 grams of fat per serving), takeout personal pepperoni pan pizza (over 60% of sodi-um daily allowance), nachos with cheese (30% of your daily fat). Opt for baked, not fried buffalo tenders, whole wheat pizza with veggies, and chicken or bean and low-fat cheese burritos in a whole wheat wrap. With healthy foods, you’ll still have ener-gy for that halftime touch football game! Try turkey or chicken and bean chili with lots of veggies cooked in, and low-fat cheese and low-fat sour cream on the side.

Second Half Plan – Of-

fer seltzer and no sugar-add-ed fruit juice beverages as “mock-cocktail” alternatives to alcohol-based drinks. Al-cohol can raise blood pres-sure and is full of empty calories. Make portion con-trol part of your game plan. Smaller plates and calorie counting apps can help you keep track of the foods you are consuming so you don’t go overboard. Know your portions. For example, a serving of chicken breast (3 ounces) is about the size of a deck of cards and an ounce of cheese is about the size of your index finger. A cup of pasta is the size of a fist and half a cup of rice is a cup-cake wrapper-full. For more portion tips, check out www.heart.org /PortionDistor-tion.

The American Heart Association recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegeta-bles, whole-grain, high-fiber foods, and fat-free and low-fat dairy products. Keep total fat intake between 25 and 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sourc-es of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as fish, nuts, seeds and vegeta-ble oils most often. Use natu-rally occurring, un-hydroge-nated vegetable oils such as canola, safflower, sunflower

or olive oil most often.Why offer healthier

options? Over 149 million Americans, or 67 percent of adults 20 and older, are over-weight or obese. By 2015, ex-perts project that 75 percent of adults will be overweight, with 41 percent being obese. Nearly one-third of U.S. chil-dren and adolescents are overweight or obese and at higher risk for heart disease and stroke. Making small changes to diet and lifestyle can help prevent heart dis-ease and stroke, the number one and five killers.

Works by College Faculty on Display at Westchester Community College

The Fine Arts Gallery at Westchester Community College is presenting works by fac-ulty members from February 1 through April 15. The show entitled HY-BRID will feature work inspired by the description of that word: the definition of the noun is “something that is formed by combining two or more things.” Art made in the 21st century is often a hybrid of materials and techniques, requiring a multi-faceted skill set that transcends conventional boundaries of discipline or media. This exhibition will feature work by Westchester Com-munity College Visual Arts faculty who exemplify this genre-bending trend.

Show hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Thursday evenings from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The gallery is located on the third floor of the Academic Arts Building, across from the theatre. For information, visit www.sunywcc.edu/gallery or phone 914-606-6835.

solvers and engaged civic leaders.”

“We are very grateful for the sponsorship of The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation,” Vranka tells me. “We have been working with Neiman Marcus White Plains and their financial support helps underwrite the costs associated with our youth art programs.”

“We hope the public will come view this inspired and high-quality collection of works from our local high school artists and en-courage their artistic pur-suits,” adds Vranka.

The StART Exhibition runs January 6th-17th 2017. The gallery is closed on Mon-days, and open 12-5pm Tues-day, Wednesdays and Fri-days, 12-7pm on Thursdays, and 2-5pm on Saturdays & Sundays. All exhibitions at OSilas Gallery are free and open to the public.

Joe Nunziata, Commu-nications Director of the Pelham Civics added, “The students were treated to a variety of four different experts in the digital mar-keting and media fields, ranging from designers to account executives to sub-ject matter experts, from working at large compa-nies to owning their own firms. This provided the class with a comprehen-sive understanding of job and career opportunities that they may be interest-ed in.”

Ken Shirreffs, Presi-dent of the Pelham Civics continued, “The Career Workshop Series evolved from the Pelham Civics award-winning Sopho-more Career Awareness Day.Now there’s an oppor-

tunity for students to ex-perience a focused view of individual industries that are among the most popu-lar and relevant in today’s business world. The work-shop/seminar platform engages the students with greater interest, and par-ticipation. The Civics ap-preciate the strong part-nership with the School District in this important initiative.”

Three more Career Workshops are planned this year: February 7 on Engineering; March 21 on Advertising and Media; and April 19 on Health Care.

2017 Health and Fitness GuideThrive Fitness & Nutrition Studio: Core Barre and Health Coaching in the Heart of Pelham

Thrive Fitness and Nutri-tion Studio combines boutique fitness classes with nutritional coaching to provide an inte-grated approach to overall health and wellness. For over 9 years Thrive, located next to Christ Church on Pelham-dale Avenue, has offered its signature Core Barre classes to tone and shape the body, alongside customized nutri-tional programs to help clients to feel their very best—in other words, to Thrive!

“From the day we opened, we have been dedicated to cre-ating a welcoming and nur-turing atmosphere for our clients. We want them to leave class feeling stronger, encour-aged and inspired rather than defeated,” commented Dan-ielle Aviezer, one of Thrive’s co-founders.

In Thrive’s trademark Core Barre classes, clients are personally addressed by name, receive an intense but ener-gizing workout that creates a stronger and leaner physique, flattens abs and builds bone density while improving pos-ture and balance. Class sizes in Thrive’s cozy yet airy studio are compact and manageable, providing a unique personal training experience in a group setting.

Carol Hinchcliffe, the oth-er co-founder of Thrive, is also a Core Barre class instructor,

and a Holistic Health Coach, certified by the Institute for In-tegrative Nutrition. She works with families and individuals, and also offers frequent group programs, all of which help people to re-think their rela-tionship with food.

“A Holistic Health Coach takes a different approach than a traditional nutritionist.” Says Hinchcliffe. “This coach-ing looks at more than just the food we eat--imbalances in our career, spirituality, relation-ships or exercise, for exam-ple, can cause an imbalance in the way we eat.” As a coach, Carol is a supportive wellness mentor and who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Every individual has different needs, so emphasis is placed on customizing pro-grams to fit the goals of the client.

A successful group nutri-tional program that is offered several times a year seasonal-ly is the Thrive Press Restart Cleanse. This detox program is geared toward helping clients to lose weight, gain energy and break habits that don’t sup-port them. But wait! A gentle cleanse does not mean surviv-ing on juice or tasteless foods. The menu items in the Thrive Gentle Cleanse are actually de-licious!

“I want you to know that 4 months after the program, I am still 12 pound lighter, feeling great, and fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years!” said Donna F, “I’ve never, ever been on a diet before and you know what? I still don’t feel like I’ve been on a diet. I feel that I’ve completely changed my rela-

tionship with food and how I eat.

With plenty of free park-ing, Thrive’s clients come from all over Westchester coun-ty to maximize this hidden gem in Pelham. Regardless of your fitness and health levels, age or schedule, Thrive has something for you. Whether you need an early morning class, or prefer a post work or school “After Dark” Barre session, Thrive is your one-stop lifestyle solution. Check out thrivestudiony.com or @thrivestudiony for more.

Maintaining the Health of Your Eyes

Eye examinations are an important part of health maintenance for everyone. Adults should have their eyes tested to keep their prescrip-tions current and to check for early signs of eye disease. For children, eye exams can play an important role in normal development and learning.

Vision is closely linked to the learning process. Children who have trouble seeing or in-terpreting what they see will often have trouble with their schoolwork. Many times, chil-dren will not complain of vi-sion problems simply because they don’t know what “normal” vision looks like. If your child performs poorly at school or exhibits a reading or learning problem, be sure to schedule an eye examination to rule out

an underlying visual cause.A comprehensive eye

exam includes a number of tests and procedures to exam-ine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. These tests range from simple ones, like hav-ing you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to examine the health of the tissues inside of your eyes. Eye care is just like whole body care, having regular, annual vision screen-ing and eye exam procedures are important to keeping your eyes healthy.

Vision World at Four Corners in Pelham Manor maintains a top staff of Optom-etrists and Opticians, special-izing in designer eyewear and contact lenses. They accept many insurances and offer a wide selection of designer eyewear for all ages. Vision World is located at 4678 Bos-ton Post Road, Pelham Manor. Call 738-2885 to set up an ap-pointment today.

Increase Your Daily Antioxidant Intake

It is thought that organic juices and juicing in general should be treated as a handy supplement to your daily diet, allowing you to increase an-tioxidant intake from an ava-lanche of vegetables that you wouldn’t otherwise consume in one day.

Nutrient levels in the foods we eat and our increased stress levels contribute to the higher requirement of an-tioxidants our body’s need. The government’s ideal rec-ommendations of daily fruit and vegetable intake are often impractical and this is where juicing comes in.

The interesting part about juicing is that people mistakenly think that all juices are created equal. Eight ounces of concentrated pasteurized orange juice is depleted of nu-trients and enzymes, which is comparable to drinking

sugared water and are sim-ply a fast release of glucose into the blood stream.

Juice containing raw, cold, pressed vegetables and low sugar fruits such as kale, celery, spinach, pear, lemon and ginger as a start, provide a host of antioxi-dants without the insulin spike.

Gourmet Express in Pel-ham Manor has devoted an entire area of their store to Juices and Smoothies that both cleanse and allow you to meet your daily requirement of fruits and vegetables for your busy lifestyle. Let Sandy or one of his highly-trained staff assist you in choosing the best Health Shot, Detox Cleanse or Simple Juice today.

Gourmet Express is locat-ed at 924 West Street in Pelham Manor. Call 738-6569 or 738-6165 to learn more about their variety of juices and more.
