Calautti Decries High School Student StereotypesBy Stephen E. Lipken

The 116th Commencement Exercises of the Class of 2013, graduating 680 students was held at New Rochelle High School on Thursday, June 20.

Mayor Noam Bramson humorously be-gan the ceremony saying, “You represent different traditions, different interests and you are bound for different destinations. But on this special occasion one desire that binds you together and share with all of your family and friends present, and that desire is for the Mayor of New Rochelle to give the shortest possible speech.

“In that spirit, I say to you, congratula-tions on this great milestone, good luck in your future endeavors and make us proud in all that you do.” Joining Mayor Bramson were Council members Jared R. Rice and Shari Rackman.

Salutatorian Nicole Calautti empha-sized that she wanted to avoid clichés and speak about the class as a whole. “What really sets the Class of 2013 apart is that we

do not subscribe to the typical student ar-chetypes.

“I have never seen a high school movie that I felt accurately portrayed us. This is because we pretty much destroy the stereo-typical status quo depicted in these movies. Our students have traveled to Ecuador to bring modern medicine to suffering chil-dren and to Nicaragua to build homes for the needy.

“Many have had to step up as adults, balancing school and home life to support their families. We have accomplished these things before 18—I can’t imagine what amazing things we will do by the time we’re 30.”

Principal Donald T. Conetta announced the Student Awards. Calautti received the Leonard Talner Memorial Award. Arthur J. Gavrin Scholarships were awarded to Henry Nwaru, Mike Palaguachi, $2000; Veralucia Quispe, $3000 and Jade Burton, $4,000.

Noting the 325th Anniversary of the founding of New Rochelle, Conetta ac-knowledged that the Huguenots were un-

The Larchmont Library to Celebrate Cats This Summer

The Larchmont Public Library joins forces with the New Rochelle Humane Society this July and Au-gust to help call attention to the number of cats in our local area that need homes. The centerpiece for the Library’s cat celebration will be photographer Elisabeth Pollaert Smith’s exhibit, “Shelter Cats”, on display in the Library’s Oresman Gallery from July 1 through August 30, 2013. The exhibit is free and open to everyone during normal library hours.

“Shelter Cats” is more than just an exhibit of photographs of cats as the photos in the exhibit call attention to cats that are available in our local area for adoption from the New Rochelle Humane Society. According to recent ASPCA statistics, nearly 2.8-million cats are euthanized every year in the United States. The Library, in tandem with the Hu-mane Society and Pollaert Smith, are hopeful that

more cats will find homes as a result of the exhibit and related events. Cats make terrific pets for young and old alike and the latest research points to how beneficial having a pet cat can be.

The celebration culminates on Saturday, July 27, with several events scheduled at the library. The events begin with a program for children called “Be a Tree for a Rowdy Dog; Be a Bush for a Kitten”, presented for children ages 5 and up by Professor Bob Meyer. Meyer, an ambassador for the Humane Society, will present little-known, interesting facts about cats (and dogs) and provide kids with a bet-ter understanding of our most popular pets. Meyer’s presentation is scheduled to begin at 11:30am in the Children’s Room at the Library.

Following Professor Meyer’s program, The New Rochelle Humane Society will be at the library host-

ing “Cat Adoption Day” from 12:00noon through 4:00pm in conjunction with a reception for Ms. Pol-laert Smith scheduled from 2:30pm to 4:00pm in the Oresman Gallery. Various cats will be available for adoption and since recently adopted cats are the sub-ject of Pollaert Smith’s photographs, those inclined to adopt will have the opportunity to own a profes-sional cat portrait as well. All of the photography in the exhibit is for sale and will be sold via a silent auc-tion with the proceeds going to the Humane Society. Cat Adoption Day and the reception for Ms. Pollaert Smith are free and everyone is welcome.

Pollaert Smith, a former international corpo-rate lawyer, began photographing seriously almost a decade ago. She has studied photography at the London College of Printing in the United Kingdom and at the International Center of Photography in

both New York and New Mexico. She is a four-time finalist for Popular Photography magazine’s “Your Best Shot” competition, and a finalist in the World Wildlife Fund’s, “Life Grows On” competition, and is represented by Getty Images. She also teaches pho-tography in Mamaroneck and participated in the Larchmont Historical Society’s “Day in the Life of Larchmont” exhibit. She is a member of the Mama-roneck Artists’ Guild and the Southern Vermont Arts Center and has been a Larchmont resident for just over five years.

Governor Signs Legislation Creating New Penalties for Texting While Driving

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed leg-islation that creates new penalties for texting-while-driving for young and new drivers to bet-ter protect New Yorkers on the road.

“This new law sends a powerful message to our young and new drivers that texting-while-driving will not be tolerated here in New York State,” Governor Cuomo said. “Sta-tistic after statistic shows that tex-ting-while-driving is a chronic prob-lem in our soci-ety, particularly among teenagers, and it will only get worse if we do not take action to pre-vent this deadly behavior. That is what this law will do: it will make drivers of all ages think twice before taking their eyes off the road to answer a message on their phone. It will avoid loss of life and better protect all those traveling on our roads and highways. I thank my colleagues in the Legislature for their expeditious action on this bill. Together, we are making our commu-nities safer for all.”

Currently, probationary and junior licens-es are suspended for 60 days for violations such as speeding, reckless driving, or following too closely behind another vehicle. Such licenses are revoked for 6 months (for probationary li-censes) or 60 days (for junior licenses) if there is another violation within 6 months of the li-cense being restored.

The new law signed by the Governor to-day imposes the same penalties on drivers with probationary and junior licenses for texting-while-driving and using a hand-held cell phone that they now receive for speeding and reckless driving: 60-day suspensions for first convic-tions and revocations of 60 days (for junior li-censes) or 6 months (for probationary licenses) for subsequent convictions within 6 months of the time a license is restored after suspension. This is effective immediately.

Senator Charles Fuschillo Jr. said, “The obsession and addiction of using cell phones in cars endangers the lives and safety of every driver on the road; it has to stop. This new law will reinforce the message that distracted driv-ing is serious and dangerous and that a driv-er’s focus should be on the road, not their cell phone, when they are behind the wheel. I am pleased to have worked with Governor Cuomo on this legislation and applaud him for signing it into law.”

Assemblyman Edward Hennessey said, “Texting while driving is a serious problem that has negatively impacted far too many lives. I am the father of two boys so I face these fears every day my children get into a car. We need all drivers, especially young drivers, to under-stand that any message they think they need to read or send can wait-their lives, as well as others, may depend on it.”

Assemblyman David Gantt said, “This legislation spearheaded by the Governor will make texting while driving violations for inex-perienced drivers as severe AS those for speed-ing and reckless driving, recognizing that this risky behavior is just as dangerous. This new law will raise awareness and prevent accidents. I am proud to support this new law so we can better protect New Yorkers.”

Assemblyman David Weprin said, “As a

staunch advocate for consumer and driver’s safety, the health and safety of all New Yorkers takes primary importance for me. I cosponsored Assembly Bill 7739 because cracking down on texting-while driving will prevent accidents in New York State that are avoidable.”

The signing follows recent actions taken

by the Governor to enhance safety on New York’s roads. The Governor recently directed the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to implement tougher penalties for texting-while-driving for all drivers. On June 1, 2013, DMV increased the number of points earned against an individual’s driving record upon conviction for texting-while-driving and cell-phone related infractions from three points to five points.

New York State Police Superintendent Jo-seph D’Amico said, “The number of distracted driver related crashes have been steadily in-creasing which is why this law is so important. The New York State Police are committed to re-ducing distracted driving through a combined enforcement and education effort. This law will help deter cell phone use which will lead to fewer accidents and will help to save lives.”

John A. Corlett, Legislative Committee Chairman for AAA New York State, said, “By signing this bill into law, Governor Cuomo is sending a strong message to drivers all across the state that texting-while-driving will not be tolerated in New York. Traffic crashes re-main the leading cause of death and injury for teens, and surveys show that texting is even more prevalent among young and new drivers. This risky, selfish behavior poses a danger to everyone on our roads, and AAA strongly supports the strong deterrents put in place by this law. I applaud the Governor for leading this effort, which will help ensure that the attention of New York’s drivers is fo-cused where it should be: on the road and not on cellphones.”

Ben Lieberman, Co-Chair of Distracted Operators Risk Casualties, who lost his son in a car crash, attended the bill signing.

Ben Lieberman said, “Having experi-enced firsthand the horrible consequences caused by a distracted driver, I know that you don’t need an academic study to prove that taking your eyes off the road means you are more likely to crash. Smartphones have more tempting features than ever be-fore. Texting while-driving and these other distractions are extremely dangerous and we need to curb this behavior, which continues to cause traffic casualties day after day. Gov-ernor Cuomo’s new law will help deter this dangerous habit, and I am grateful for his ef-forts. I also applaud the Legislature for their quick action on this bill.”

New Armory Design Competition Announced

By Stephen E. Lipken

New Rochelle Commissioner of De-velopment Luiz Ara-gon announced a new Waterfront Gateway Design Competition at the New Rochelle City Council Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting on Tuesday, June 11.

The Waterfront Gateway Design Com-petition seeks creative and innovative propos-als for the design, plan-ning, and re-imaging of the site, as well as two adjacent parcels on Echo Bay. It is anticipated that the winning pro-posal, which will be selected by a high-profile jury of architects, planners, and public officials, will become the basis for the development of the site.

“We believe this is the most important com-petition to take place in Westchester County in many years,” said Aragon. “We look forward to receiving unique and innovative proposals that will activate this currently underutilized site while honoring its heritage.”

Detailed information about the competition can be found at www.newrochellecompetition.archpaper.com. On-line registration closes August 5, 2013 and the winner will be announced Decem-ber 11, 2013.

Mark Thieilking, Chairman of the Board, En-ergy Improvement Corporation (EIC), presented a plan for commercial property owners to receive

low interest rate loans for energy improvements, payable on property tax bills, as part of Energize New York Benefit Financing Program. A Public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, July 9.

At the evening COW meeting, Dean Reben presented New Rochelle Sports Hall of Fame Ed-ward A. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Awards in Council Chambers to students Page Keating, Gi-uliana LaGumina, $500; William Bishop, Briyah Brown, Lara Gaffney and Alesandra Greco, $750.

Most citizens supported the proposal that Iona College manage the dormitories. However, resident Donna Henry objected to tenants for Her-itage Homes being rejected if earning $50,000 or more. “Nowadays $50,000 is not much of a salary, especially since the City applied for $17,140,000 in state financing through tax-exempt bonds,” Henry noted.

Concordia and Iona College Faculty and Staff to Face Off in 3rd Annual

Charity Softball GameConcordia and Iona Col-

leges’ faculty and staff will com-pete in their third annual char-ity softball game on July 11th at Concordia College. All proceeds from the game will benefit the Eastchester Food Pantry, an or-ganization providing food as-sistance to local individuals and families in need.

The event is organized ev-ery year by Assistant Registrar of Concordia College Kathleen Hymes and Regina Reilly, Gradu-ate Admission Counselor at Iona College. Participating employees from both colleges will make a $20 donation and spectators are asked to provide a $5 cash donation at the event.

“We are excited to continue this wonderful day of athleticism, charity and friendly rivalry between these two great academic institutions”, said Kathleen Hymes.

The game will take place at 5:30pm on the Concordia College Softball Field at 171 White Plains Road in Bronxville and is open to the public. July Harvest Rolling in on Fridays

at Down to Earth Farmers MarketIn the words of farmer Randy Dagele of

Dagele Brothers Produce, “The most impor-tant thing for farmers is that the weather is good to us, and so far this year, it has been.” This is great news for shoppers at New Ro-chelle’s Down to Earth Farmers Market, where Dagele and other local vendors sell seasonal vegetables, fruits, plants for garden starters, pasture-raised meats, breads, honey, and eggs. The market is open every Friday, from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, on North Avenue at Huguenot Park/Twin Lakes. It’s right in front of New Rochelle High School and runs through Friday, November 22nd.

Dagele and his crew hail from Orange County, New York, an area about 80 miles northwest of New Rochelle, on the other side of the Hudson River. The region is renowned for its “black dirt,” a nurturing soil created thousands of years ago when ice glaciers re-ceded and left behind rich, organic material. For Dagele, one of the soil’s many benefits is that it produces spicy cooking onions. He sells them with the tops still on, so the on-ions’ flavor stays “capped,” until unleashed by the knives of hungry home cooks. In ad-dition to the soil, both he and Alex Kravets of Alex’s Tomato Farm grow in greenhouses, and even in these early weeks of summer, they bring beautiful tomatoes to the Friday market.

The market at Huguenot Park also features Raghoo Farms, a new livestock vendor who raises animals on open pasture near Rhinebeck, New York. The farm offers a wide selection of meats, in-cluding chicken, duck, rabbit, elk, and more.

In July, the produce farmers will harvest snap peas, sugar peas, beets, carrots, spinach, peppers, radishes, peaches, sweet cherries, summer squash, and an array of greens such as collards and chard – just to name some of the seasonal goods becoming available. AND Meredith’s Breads brings yummy breads and baked goods to the market every week.

Stop by the market on Friday, July 12th to enjoy music by Phil Dollard, a talented local guitarist who will fill the market air with his acoustic blues. Thank you for coming out to Hu-guenot Park to support local farms and food businesses!

Iona College Zoning Changes Approved At Legislative Meeting


Mayor Noam Bramson relayed the wel-comed news that a Memorandum of Agreement between the City of New Rochelle and Police As-sociation for the period January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2019 was ratified at the Regular Legislative Meeting on June 18. The previous contract expired on December 31, 2009.

The agreement calls for 1.5% annual salary increases in 2010-11; 2%, 2012 through 2014 and 3%, 2015-2019. In addition, all members of the Police Association hired after July 1, 2013 shall be paid a starting salary of $45,279 a year, 10% lower than the former fee of $50,340.

Effective July 2013, the number of salary steps is increased from 5 to 6, with additional Uniform and Cleaning Allowance by $35 each year. Council authorized eliminating two Ser-geant positions and creating two additional Lieutenant positions, funds available from Po-

lice Department budget. Council approved Zoning Changes for

Iona College, which include management of dormitories by the College, construction of dorms on North Avenue rather than adjoin-ing neighborhoods with a maximum height of three stories or 40 feet and parking ratio of one parking space per three students. Buildings must have setbacks of 30 feet where property abuts a residential district.

The Roll Call vote passed, 6-1. Council-woman Shari Rackman dissented, believing the concept to be “too restrictive to the developer.”

Animal Advocate Jill Rappaport Honored at “Paws for a Heart” Dinner Celebration


TODAY Show star and Animal Ad-vocate Jill Rappaport received the 2013 “Paws for a Heart” Award, presented by New Rochelle Hu-mane Society (NRHS) Board of Directors President Carlette M. Allen at the NRHS “Paws for a Heart” Dinner Celebration and Fundraising Auction, benefiting Help Heal Fund at Glen Island Harbour Club, New Rochelle on Thursday, June 13.

Mayor Noam Bramson appeared with Councilman Barry Fertel, wife Valerie and Assemblyman Ste-ven Otis, “who owns two ‘Labs.’” An overflow, lively crowd flowed through the hall.

An entertainer reporter for over 22 years, Rappaport began her cru-sade for animal welfare when her beloved dog Jack was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2006. In her popular “Bow to Wow” series, shel-ter dogs get makeovers and a second chance at life.

Rappaport has saved hundreds of severely abused horses, sharing her home with five rescued dogs,

seven horses and is the author of People We Know, Horses They Love; 500 Cats plus Jack and Jill: The Miracle Dog with a Happy Tale to Tell, about her dog Jack.

Almost $100,000 was raised by silent auctions, video, live auctions and hilari-ous “Heads or Tails” conducted by famed auctioneer Stephen H. Schofield, flipping a large Kennedy Half Dollar to determine win-ners. Hands over heads indicated “heads;” “tails,” hands on backsides.

“Melvin,” a boxer mix was completely bald with a skin infection, according to NRHS Shelter Manager Dana Rocco. Saved by the NRHS Help Heal Fund, a completely healed Melvin was presented by his adopter Susan Sauro.

Music Conservatory of Westchester Honors Celebrated New Rochelle Violinist, Artist

and Educator at 1st Alumni ReunionIf the walls of the Music Conservatory of

Westchester’s (MCW) Recital Hall could talk on Saturday, June 1, they’d probably be boasting about the thousands of students who have inspired so many with their achievements not only in music but in many career paths. That evening at the not-for-profit community music school’s 216 Central Avenue lo-cation, an alumni reunion was held for the first time in its 83-plus years. The Hall walls were decorated with a new archival retrospective chronicling the school’s history from 1950 to 2013 along with paintings by the school’s alumni and distin-guished New Rochelle violin-ist, artist and educator, David Tobey.

Nearly 100 attendees from across the country attended the event. There was a vibrant at-mosphere in the room as alum-ni warmly greeted each other while a student jazz ensemble played. For 21 year old Eugene Bender of Elmsford, an accom-plished fiddler of Irish music, seeing his former teacher, Moira Tobey, was a particular treat. ”When I came to MCW in 8th grade, I had played the fiddle for 5 years but I didn’t know how to read music or play with a group of musicians,” he said. “The Con-servatory matched me with Moira and she was the perfect teacher for me. Everything I’ve learned from her I’ve taken with me and applied not only to my music but my life.” New Rochelle resident, Angela Griffin, a 19 year old violinist who had Tobey as her orchestra teacher in middle school, was also excited to see fellow alumni. “It’s really interesting and fun to hear what everyone has been doing and to share stories and experiences,” said Griffin, who studied at the Conservatory for nearly ten years, was the Concert Master at her hometown High School and continues to perform at Westchester Community College.

After the reception, which included a perfor-mance from the student jazz band, guests were in-vited to the Recital Hall for an awards ceremony,

concert, and a formal unveil-ing of the aforementioned exhibition. Rodd Berro, MCW’s Board of Trustees President, welcomed alumni and thanked them for their support. “Our goal here is to join the past with the present to build an even better future for MCW,” said Berro. He then directed guests to turn to the back wall of the room as a curtain was pulled back unveiling the retrospective. The exhibit, which contains commemorative materials including scores from pieces performed by Conservatory students, concert programs and photographs, will hang permanently in the Recital Hall.

Executive Director Jean Newton began the awards ceremony by saying how thrilled she was to see so

many familiar faces. “I’ve been with the Conser-vatory for 20 years and I’ve seen how this place touches the heart of everyone who walks through the door,” she said. Newton presented the Distin-guished Alumni Award to David Tobey in honor of his remarkable achievements as a professional vio-linist, visual artist and educator. She also thanked Tobey for his generosity in donating 30% of all sales of his artwork currently hanging in the Recital Hall to the Music Conservatory.

“MCW has been such a home to me and it’s a big part of who I am today,” said Tobey. “It’s won-derful to see other alumni and to be honored for doing what I love most.”

The evening’s concert program featured two accomplished young pianists. Tobey took the stage for the final performance, playing selections by Jo-hannes Brahms and Gerardo Matos Rodriguez.

Daniel Webster Students Discover Their Leadership Potential

Students from Daniel Webster Magnet School participated in a day of adventure learning exercises as part of their trip to EMPOWER Leadership Sports & Adventure Center in Middletown, CT where they spent the day preparing for 6th grade with the EMPOWER team.

Students took part in the zip line canopy tour adventure which takes participants through the for-est canopy over 5 zip lines, two “Indiana Jones” style suspension bridges, a military style cargo net and a tight wire traverse.

EMPOWER’s founder and own-er Joe DeRing was impressed with the students, “It was amazing to see so many students accept the adven-ture challenges with such positive attitudes. The support that the stu-dents gave one another was impres-sive! We hope these students continue supporting each other as they prepare for the transition to 6th grade.”

After completing the zip line canopy tour students were able to further demonstrate their willingness to accept positive challenges and support one another on EMPOWER’s tree climb adventures. EMPOWER manager Dan Jaskot commented, “To watch each student overcome their fear while climbing 55 feet up a tree was so rewarding. Students went from being nervous climbers to confident achievers; which demonstrates that with the right attitude and support systems great things can be accomplished!”

The majority of the adventure program took place within the forest canopy; however, partici-pants also had the opportunity to practice problem solving and relationship development skills during various ground based team building challenges. Each ground-based challenge required students to share creative ideas, listen to one another and develop problem solving action plans. After each challenge EMPOWER facilitator, Kyle Newman helped the students realize that the skills practiced at EMPOWER can also be used in school. Kyle Newman stated, “Being able to develop positive relationships and communicate with the people around you are skills that will help in 6th grade and beyond!” Over the course of the trip, the students participated in over 6 hours of facilitated adventure activities. As the tired yet confident and smiling students loaded the busses, Dan Jaskot was asked to reflect on the impact of the program and stated, “Throughout the day these students were challenged to overcome fear, support and encourage one another, and practice being a great leader and problem solver. Every student should be proud of what they accomplished today.”

The Significance of the Term “Elder Law”Very few people practicing “elder law” like

the term. It is not descriptive of our clients; a significant number of the cases we handle involve children -- often even toddlers -- and many of our clients are middle-aged children of aging parents. It is not easy for clients to relate to. When asked what constitutes an elder or senior citizen, most of our clients immediately think of someone just a few years older than themselves.

All elder law attorneys think from time to time about better descriptions they might use. The problem with that effort, though, is that no one has come up with a better label, or even one that comes closer to describing what we do.

Here’s a sampling of what elder law attor-neys do:

Guardianship. In New York, a guardian is a court-appointed person who makes medical and/or financial decisions for an incapacitated individual, who is unable to manage his own affairs due to a disability or other infirmity. In order to become guardian, you appear before a judge and a hearing is typically held, unless the person alleged to be incapacitated consents to having a guardian appointed. Getting a guardian appointed is only part of the battle. Once appointed, a guardian is answerable to the courts, and must file annual reports and accounts. It is an intensive exposure to the le-gal system, and very difficult to navigate with-out the help of experienced elder law counsel. While our guardianship practice is not limited exclusively to elders, a significant number (but

by no means all) of the people who need guard-ians tend to be elderly.

Estate Planning. We write wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care direc-tives, and other estate planning documents. Most of our clients in this area are older than, say, their mid-50s -- but not because that’s who needs estate planning. Younger people (includ-ing the parents of minor children, anyone who drives a vehicle, and anyone who has ever seen a doctor) also need to complete estate plan-ning. They just tend not to until they reach an age where they see the value. As one of our clients once said: “the two kinds of people you hate to deal with are doctors and lawyers -- and when you get older you spend a lot of time with both.”

Older people may have more complicated estate plans. They may have larger tax con-cerns (because they have had time to acquire more assets). They may have others (children with disabilities, spouses with failing abilities, long-time friends they have helped over the years) who rely on them and need their con-sideration. They also may feel somewhat more mortal. And so they tend to be the ones who get to the lawyer’s office -- and hence the estate planning business seems to be (but should not be) an issue for elders.

Long-term Care Planning. Nursing home costs will likely bankrupt most families if some-one has to spend more than a few months in a care facility. Planning for how to deal with that should start early, and include (among other

things) the possibility of purchasing long-term care insurance. But most people don’t plan for potential long-term care costs. Instead, they bravely insist that “I am never going into the nursing home.” Many of them turn out to be wrong, but most of those won’t know how wrong they were until they are, well, elderly. Most (but certainly not all) of the residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities are elderly. So the practice of preparing people for that eventuality, and of helping spouses and children get ready to place a loved one in such a facility, has come to be thought of as “elder” law.

Trust Administration. While creating and funding a living trust may avoid the probate process, that is not the same as saying that your (successor) trustee will not need any con-tact with lawyers or accountants. In fact, your trustee will probably need both. But even your trustee will probably be elderly by the time you die. Odds are that you will be, too. So this tends to look like a legal problem involving the elderly, though plenty of trustees are younger and a lot of people sign trusts when they are younger, too.

Probate. Some people don’t plan for pro-bate avoidance, either because they didn’t get around to it or because they consciously en-gaged in a cost/benefit analysis and decided it wasn’t worth the expense (to them, at the time). Probate administration, like trust ad-ministration, is an area of practice that often -- but not always -- involves people who are elderly.

Special Needs Trusts and Planning. This one has the most tenuous link to the elderly. The beneficiaries of most special needs trusts are young -- often infants or toddlers. Even the parents of special needs trust beneficiaries may be young -- perhaps even in their 20s. So how does this become an “elder law” issue? It’s sim-ple: the government programs and rules that are involved in special needs trust planning, establishment and administration are the same programs and rules involved in long-term care for the elderly. But saying “I’m an elder and special needs lawyer” just doesn’t trip lightly off the tongue, and it begins to sound like we are trying to describe our own circumstances, not those of the people we strive to help.

So that’s what we do as “elder law” attor-neys. Is that all we do? No, we also have a few other areas we work in -- like guardianship of minors, elder abuse, and special education ad-vocacy.

Feel free to come up with a better, shorter, more user-friendly term. We’ve been working on it for years and are confident that there is a good answer out there. Somewhere.

and chunks of fresh mozzarella; and Green Fet-tuccini Cacciatore, shallots, shitake mushrooms, basil, chunks of chicken, fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes and parmigiano.

The Cuban RealityPresident Obama authorized legal educational

travel to Cuba in 2011. US citizens are now allowed to travel to Cuba with a licensed operator under the US government’s People to People Cultural Ex-change Program.

This is not a typical Caribbean Vacation. Re-strictions on visitors are strictly observed. Activities such as going to the beach, fishing and other leisure activities are not sanctioned and, therefore, are not part of the experience. It is , definitely, a trip for an experienced traveler who desires an immersion into Cuban life by interactions with the people go-ing about their daily life.

Pork, chicken and fish were available to the tourists and a treat for the Cubans. The quality was poor-tough pork, skinny chickens and uniden-tifiable fish. Considering that the country is sur-rounded by the sea, you would expect delicious fish at every meal. It was suggested to us that any one with a boat has taken it to Miami. In fact, we saw few boats in our travels. Rice and beans is the staple of the Cuban diet.

There is a dual currency system established in the 1990’s. As Russian influence declined, foreign currency flooded Cuba. In an attempt to counter act this problem, the government created an al-ternate currency called the CUC (Cuban Convert-ible Currency). Foreign currency is converted into CUCs at very steep conversion rates. Shops accept either pesos or CUC’s but not both. Shops stocked with food supplies and merchandise like flat screen TV’s, washer/dryers only accept CUCs. Conse-quently, Cubans want jobs with access to CUCs i.e. tourist industry jobs, taxi drivers…Access to the CUC provides the availability of the items needed to supplement their meager rations. There is an underground economy. So often, we heard stories about the medical doctor who drove a taxi.

Housing was varied. In the countryside, a typical house was small, made of cinder blocks and had a pounded dirt floor. It was sparsely furnished, had indoor plumbing, a basic kitchen and pen with a pig in the back yard. In Havana, there were 1950 era Russian built apartment blocks. However, rem-nants of beautiful Spanish architecture were visible but in great disrepair. It required a creative imagi-nation to see the beauty that must have been!

Nothing has been repaired since the Revolu-

tion of 1959. Affluent Cubans who fled the island left mansions behind. Unfortunately, on average, 3 buildings collapse each day. The good news is that there is some restoration of the main squares and important historic buildings in Old Havana.

Tourist accommodations are better than one might expect. I particularly enjoyed the Hotel Na-cional of Havana. It is the iconic hotel from 1930 located on the malecon (waterfront) in the middle class Vedado neighborhood. It was the hotel of choice for all the rich and famous that frequented Cuba in its heyday-the early 1950’s. It has main-tained the faded elegance of a bygone era!

Most of the time one feels that time stands still. When you step onto the street, there are 1950 era vintage Chevy and Fords ingeniously kept run-ning as taxis. Local people get around by hitchhik-ing or in crowded, unreliable buses, trucks convert-ed into buses or pedicabs. In the countryside, there were horse drawn carts.

Private enterprise is now sanctioned and en-couraged. Small private restaurants with better quality food are very common and increasing. One wonders where that food comes from. Private bed and breakfast enterprises were present especially in the countryside. Things are slowly evolving.

Tourism provides hard currency vital to the economy. The infrastructure is in a state of collapse.

It was an amazing learning experience. The Cubans adopted the Russian model. Since the fall of the USSR in the 1990’s, Cuba was forced to reevaluate this model. Change is in the sir.

The visitor must carefully process everything that is seen and heard and try to determine the Cuban reality. In fact, I am still reflecting on my experience and have many unanswered questions. Go and see it for yourself but go now. The Cuban reality is evolving.

Sensitometry: A Photographic Exploration

Media Loft announces their new summer exhibition. Seven established photographers present their individual photographic explora-tions giving the audience the full experience of their process. Martin Kruck, Fred Levine, Chris-topher Lovi, Alan Model, Marc Weinstein, Su-zanne Revy and Dale Zheutlin ‘s work will be on view throughout the summer.

Martin Kruck explains, “My photographic projects often involve multi-layered interpreta-tions of place. This recent series entitled ‘Habi-torium’, makes a study of constructed habitats -- those spaces designed to satisfy both the emo-tional and bodily needs of its occupant. Views of hotels, zoos, museums, parks, and other human and animal environments, are combined to cre-ate new scenes that explore the idea of post-natu-ralistic photography. More enclosures than land-scapes, the images tend to reveal how extremely studied life is. Nature and artifice form inversions throughout the series, adding to the uneasy feel-ing the spaces we inhabit are for test subjects.”

Fred Levine’s, “Stop action photography is the bread and butter of the sports’ photogra-pher. The majority of shots are taken during the heat of competition, where the photogra-pher is only an observer. This series of pho-tographs were taken under studio conditions where we had an opportunity to interact. My intent was to capture the fun and showman-ship of some of the Harlem Wizards.”

Christopher James Lovi‘s work speaks to, “an unspoken understanding created by a fence of where we can go and where we can’t that takes place as you walk down the street. We respond to these visual and physical barriers which I believe influence how we perceive pub-lic and private space. My photographs explore these thresholds, boundaries, and borders that fences create. I’m applying the visual layers of space and materials to recreate the tension that unfolds as I walk along the street.”

Alan Model’s, “greatest joy as a photogra-pher is the act of discovery. The elements of an-

ticipation, recognition and concentration are essential to me. I venture out with my camera exploring the environment with no precon-ceived notions as to what subjects will interest me. My images suggest things worth consider-ing that might have been overlooked. People in unobserved commonplace experiences are of interest to me, as well as the imprint human-

ity has made on the environment through the ages, culturally or otherwise.”

Marc Weinstein explains his, “images are an interaction between an unknown and unin-tended calligrapher, the quality of lights’ inci-dence off of the “tar” medium, and the ability of the photographer to engage the moment of presentation.”

Suzanne Revy’s work reflects, “the simple days of summer, when our daily obligations as a family are a bit more relaxed, and as the light of the sun lingers well into the evening, it’s easy to feel seduced into thinking that it will never end. And yet, every year, with the hint of color in the trees that appears late in August, the summer slowly fades into autumn, we head back to school and work and obliga-tions, and the summer months quickly become an ephemeral memory.”

Dale Zheutlin‘s work, “blurs the boundaries between painting and photography. Each piece begins as a photograph, though a casual observer might be surprised that a photograph is present. In some pieces the image is obscured, in others remnants appear. It is up to the viewer to discover the images that are being revealed or concealed.”

Media Loft, founded in 1978, was estab-lished to provide a unique working environ-ment for artists, designers, craftsmen and a va-riety of art-related businesses. In 1983 it moved to its present site in the historic Knickerbocker Press building complex and in 2003 it convert-ed to a condominium to create affordable live-work space for its artist community.

Media Loft Gallery is located at 50 Webster Avenue, New Rochelle. The exhibit runs through Au-gust 31 with an opening reception on July 11 from 6 o 8pm. For details, visit www.medialoftarts.com.

Back-to-School Clothes for Kids Honors Transamerica Retirement Solutions

Back-to-School Clothes for Kids (BTS) kicked off its 28th year of providing new clothes and school supplies to local chil-dren in need at a recent reception where Valhalla resident Susan Duffy and the Em-ployee Association of Transamerica Retire-ment Solutions (formerly Diversified) were honored. For the past nine years, Ms. Duffy has led the efforts of her company and its employees to donate funds and shop for school wardrobes for more than 250 needy children for the start of the school year. “Su-san puts her heart and soul into this project and always goes the extra mile to choose exactly what each child requests. She is to-tally committed to BTS and the children it serves,” said Connie Kennedy, who founded BTS in 1986. Since that time nearly 20,000 disadvantaged local children have received new clothes and backpacks filled the school supplies thanks to the generosity of employ-ees of area businesses and individuals. Last year nearly 1,000 youngsters and teens went back to school dressed for success as a result of BTS supporters. The organization contin-ually seeks individuals and local businesses to shop for or sponsor children. Anyone interested in helping BTS can contact Ms. Kennedy at [email protected] or 914-697-2792.

Kitchen & Bath Insider© - #153Couple Mysteriously Disappears in the Kitchen Triangle

Thankfully, the Kitchen Triangle is not the hazard that the Ber-muda Triangle is thought to be, and headlines like this one are few and far between. However, a movement has arisen to make the kitchen triangle itself disappear, doing away with this traditional design tool that has guid-ed us for so many years. In my profession, I find myself torn as my hero, Raymond Lowey (greatest industrial designer ever)*, said “never leave well enough alone”. So which is it? Is the kitchen tri-angle dead like these up-starts are claiming or has it moved to a new plane?

Developed in the 1940’s the kitchen work triangle addressed the ef-ficiency of the relation-ship of three areas of your kitchen; the cook-ing area, the preparation area and the food storage area. The cooking area re-fers to the cooktop, oven and/or range; the prepa-ration area included the sink, and the storage area, where the refrigerator and dry stor-age are located. The plan was based on a single person (one person, not someone who is single) cooking in a 1940’s sized kitchen. Since then the size of kitchens has increased dra-matically and, today, more people are helping prepare meals, whether they are single or married.

If you struggled with 10th grade geometry, this magical shape is the line connecting the stove, (cooking

area), fridge (storage area), and sink (prep area), with each of these areas creating one of the points of the tri-angle. The basic rules were no leg of the triangle should be less than four feet or greater than nine feet and the sum of all three sides should be be-tween 13 and 26 feet.

I recently attended a confer-ence where they discussed the new “Kitchen Work Zone” theory, but when I realized that the work zones

were the “cooking zone”, the “preparation zone”, and the “storage zone”, I began to zone out. It sounded suspi-ciously like new packag-ing for the old triangle - that they said was ka-put! Nevertheless, they did have a valid point regarding the size of new kitchens, which have grown over the years.

In bigger kitchens (which will probably be outlawed by the current NYC mayor) you fre-quently are blessed with multiple cooking areas, additional preparation areas and a several areas of storage space. Does this mean we should abandon the triangle? Not at all. We just use multiples of them, keep-ing in mind that you want to avoid crossing the kitchen with hot pots and pans, making sure that the sink isn’t too far from the cooktop and that you have de-cent storage near (each of) your refrigerators.

If more than one chef will be involved in the preparation of meals, then we need to utilize one triangle for each person. If they overlap, the two triangles will create a STAR! (You can try this at home with pen or pen-cil). In fact, I think I will give a lec-ture and call this concept the STAR kitchen design zones, just to confuse everyone.

As usual, most design comes down to common sense. Once your designer has created a plan, review it

carefully and make sure that the ba-sics of the original triangle have been adhered to where possible and that nothing seems “out of whack!” If the fridge is 25 feet away from the sink, you’re going to be miserable, no mat-ter how pretty the kitchen looks.

* Among a million other things, Raymond Lowey designed my favor-ite car, the Studebaker Avanti; my favorite locomotive, the GG-1; the interior of Skylab (back when we had a space program); the interior of the Concorde supersonic jet; the Coke bottle and their vending machines; the Shell and Exxon logos, etc. etc.

“Old Fashioned Summer Fun” at Huguenot Children’s Library

Old Fashioned Summer Fun is in full swing on the patio behind the Huguenot Children’s Library (794 North Avenue; telephone 632-8954) where youngsters can spend a day playing ping pong and wiffle ball or enjoying puppet shows organized by enthusiastic staffers. The free drop-in program of-fers supervised activities and access to play equip-ment and games as well as arts and crafts for chil-dren aged 3 and up accompanied by a parent or an adult caregiver: All children need to do to partici-pate is show a valid library card. The program will continue Monday through Friday, from 10 am to 4:45 pm, through August 16th (except July 4th).

Old Fashioned Summer Fun is an annual pro-gram sponsored the Partnership for the Huguenot Children’s Library and made possible by the con-tinuing support of an anonymous donor. Old Fash-ioned Summer Fun is staffed by college students, including Director Gabriella Morrow, a senior at Catholic University of America, who has been involved with the camp for 8 years. “What I love most about being the director for the Old Fashion Summer Fun is that I have grown up at the camp,” says Morrow. “As a kid, the library was my favor-ite place to go every summer, and now I have the privilege of providing that fun for other kids.” Mor-row, now in her third year as Director, says she is able to combine her past experience at the program with what she has learned studying to be a teacher. “The kids can participate in daily crafts, ping pong, board games, cards, and sports games along with having access to the library and park.” Other expe-rienced staff members this year include Raffy Stitt, a senior at Syracuse University; Kya Drummond, a freshman at Stanford Brown; Cassie White, a fresh-man at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio; Amanda McClean, a freshman at SUNY Geneseo; and Annie Bonalle, a junior at The Ursaline School.

In addition to Old Fashioned Summer Fun, Old Fashioned Summer Fun staffers Annie Bonalle and Cassie White put on a puppet show. Photo credit: Gabriella Morrow

there are free weekly programs scheduled at the Hu-guenot Children’s Library throughout the summer. They include a drop-in Yoga Kids program (ages 4 to 6 years) on Mondays from 10 to 10:30 am, July 1st through August 5th. On Tuesdays Story Time for Ages 3 to 5 features stories, songs and finger play from 10 to 10:40 am; followed by Music with Mandy for children ages 3 to 6 years, from 2 to 2:40 pm. On Thursdays a Bricks 4 Kidz® Workshop (for kids ages 9 to 11) is offered from 10 to 11 am, led by a LEGO® master whol helps participants unleash their imagination and use their creativity to build LEGO® models focused on exciting themes such as Space, Inventions and Famous Buildings. (Pre-registration is required: Call 632-8954). On Thurs-day afternoons from 2 to 3 pm Crafts Inspired by the Sound Workshop (for ages 5 through 12) of-fers kids the chance to work on projects inspired by Long Island Sound. On Fridays Calligraphy classes for youngsters aged 8 to 11 years take place from 10 to 11 am; Bouncing Babies (6 mos. – 24 mos.) gather from 11:45 to 12:15 for music, movement and Mother Goose rhymes with Nora Maher; and Let’s Pretend, an introduction to theater through games, songs and nursery rhymes for children aged 3 to 6 years, takes place from 12:30 to 1:15 pm.

The Partnership for the Huguenot Chil-dren’s Library is a non-profit volunteer organiza-tion that is dedicated to inspiring a life-long love of reading and learning through outstanding library services for all of the children of New Rochelle. The PHCL was responsible for renovating the building and adjacent playground, and it continues to work to enhance the excellence of the Huguenot Chil-dren’s Library and to promote and advocate for ex-ceptional children’s library services within the New Rochelle Public Library system.
