On Saturday, January 12, The Community Church of the Pelhams transformed into the most magical place in Pelham.
The Danny Fund hosted their first Breakfast with the Characters. Children dressed up in their favorite character costumes and enjoyed a buffet breakfast with their families. Over ten princesses, superheroes and other characters were on hand sign-ing autographs and posing for photos with each child.
Over 140 guests were treated to
crafts, great music, balloons, tem-porary tattoos and more. A fantastic number of volunteers from Pelham Middle School, the PMHS Honor So-ciety, and Sock and Buskin assisted in the success of the breakfast festiv-ities. A special thanks to the Junior League of Pelham making a won-derful donation to help fill raffle gift baskets created by Cindy Finegan and Flora Walsh.
A very special Valentine’s Day Card Making Station was set up for guests to participate in creating hand-
made Valentines for the six Danny Fund kids that are being helped with either catastrophic illnesses or inju-ries by the organization. Two current and two former Danny Fund children and their families were present at the breakfast.
Much gratitude goes to Dave Katz of Depot Dave Catering for donating the hot food and a special thank you to DeCiccos, Bagels & More, Renais-sance Bagels, OnPoint Printing, Rock-well’s and Dave’s Cast of Characters for special discounts and donations.
The Danny Fund Provides finan-cial, emotional and advocacy support for the families of children under the age of 21 who suffer from a catastroph-ic illness or injury. The goal of the Dan-ny Fund is to prevent the financial and emotional collapse of these families by providing the assistance needed to help them remain stable. The Danny Fund is a 100% volunteer nonprofit organization. If you are interested in making a donation, or learning about the organization, visit their website at www.thedannyfund.org

Pelham’s Dennis Berberich, Jr. Honored at Catholic Institute of the Food Industry Gala
BY JOE NUNZIATA
On February 9th The Catholic Institute of the Food Industry (CIFI) will hold its Installation Gala and Dinner-Dance Fundraiser at The Marina Del Rey. The event will include the second consecutive induction of its President, long time Pelham resident Dennis Ber-berich, Jr. The Installing Officer will be John Scalfani.
The Catholic Institute of the Food Industry (CIFI) was formed in 1946 to unite employees of the food in-dustry at all levels with the common interest to help those in need. For the past 25 years, it has been a stead-fast and generous supporter of Calvary Hospital - the world leader in providing end of life palliative care to adult patients - and its many programs of its unique hospice care. CIFI has also facilitated countless refer-rals for members of the community, thus increasing access to Calvary Care for those most in need. This includes Family Care Center, providing ongoing sup-port that has helped thousands of family members find comfort and respite. The C.I.F.I also supports and assists other worthwhile institutions and charitable causes throughout the year.
Being installed once again as the CIFI President, Mr. Berberich is known as a business and civic leader, and humanitarian. He follows in the footsteps of his late father, Dennis Sr., who was past President of the C.I.F.I., tirelessly working to raise money for the organization and its beneficiaries. A beverage in-dustry executive with over three decades of experience in the business (including E&J Gallo Winery, Diageo Guinness USA and Terlato Wines International) he spearheads his own consulting company - DMB Consulting. He volunteers for a wide range of civic and charitable causes, including working closely with Calvary Hospital, being Co-Chair of Calvary’s Annual Golf and Tennis Fundraiser in his father’s memory; he is an active member of the Larchmont chapter of the Knights of Columbus; and participates in Pelham Civic Association initiatives such as the Needy Cases Program for individual and families in need.

Village Inducts Three New Police Officers; E-Commerce Facility Proposal Discussed
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
Pelham Manor Mayor Jen-nifer Monachino Lapey opened the January 28th Board of Trustees meeting with the in-duction of new Police Officers Edward Fattorini, Nicholas Ma-nias and Edward Witkowski.
Witkowski, 29 was born and raised on Long Island, has a Bachelor’s Degree in International Transportation and Trade from SUNY Maritime College, Bronx, NY and was Chief Mate on a Ma-rine Science Research Vessel. In 2015, Witkowski became an of-ficer with SUNY Farmingdale College where he received several commendations.
Manias, 24, a lifelong Tuck-ahoe resident, holds an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice from Westchester Community College and was a Parking Enforcement Of-ficer in Eastchester and Tuckahoe.
Fattorini, 25, is a lifelong resident of Dobbs Ferry with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health Sciences from University of Mas-sachusetts, Amherst and Master’s Degree in Emergency Manage-ment from John Jay College and was a Public Safety Officer at Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville.
Fire Chief Joseph Ruggiero
thanked Village Manager John T. Pierpont, Fire Commissioner Mat-thew McLaughlin and the Board for their condolences upon the death of his father, Louis Alexan-der Ruggiero who passed away on January 8, 2019 at the age of 90.
An ongoing issue has been an E-Commerce Facility Proposal, constructing a 120-ft. high ware-house at the old Getty Oil storage terminal, 4301 Boston Post Road in the B-2 District to process online orders. Big trucks from Newark, NJ would deliver goods to the proposed warehouse, to be
distributed to homes from smaller box trucks.
Residents expressed con-cerns about truck traffic coming off of I-95 exits 13 and 15, with chil-dren crossing Boston Post Road. Revenue to the Village was also dis-cussed, since 50% of the proposed facility would be in the Bronx.
Attorney Steven Silverberg, representing Boston Post Realty LLC suggested a zoning amend-ment overlay with full traffic study and escrow account. With these issues unresolved, the Board moved to table the action.

State Senator Alessandra Biaggi’s Constituent Services Office Open for Business
Senator Alessandra Biaggi (D - Bronx/Westchester) and her team are ready, eager and able to work with residents.
Contact with her constituents is extremely important to Senator Biaggi. “I can’t wait to be visible and accessible,” she said. “My team and I want to interact with the community face to face as much as possible. A more user-friendly office will make all the difference.”
Freshman Senator Biaggi and her team have inherited the of-fice of her predecessor, Jeff Klein, at the Hutchinson Metro Center. The staff plans to be there for only a matter of months, at which time they want to open a more central location. A search for a store-front space near public transportation is currently underway.
In the meantime, the Senator wants Bronx and Westchester residents of the 34th district to feel encouraged to call or email for assistance, make an appointment, or drop by anytime to share con-cerns or seek help.
Senator Biaggi and the Senate Majority recently passed legis-lation to protect taxpayers by making the property tax cap perma-nent. After years of uncertainty on the future of property taxes, this is a major win for Westchester and all New York communities.
“I have seen far too many of my neighbors in our district at risk of losing their houses. Federal tax policy has been weaponized against us. Our homeowners deserve some tax protection against that assault,” Senator Biaggi said. “The uncertainty around sky-high property taxes, which have long plagued the residents and families of New York, ends today.”
The property tax cap passed in 2011, and extended for four years in 2015, prevents increases in real property taxes from exceeding 2%. The passage of the permanent tax cap will provide for-ward-thinking financial stability to property owners throughout New York State.
“We are ensuring that people are not driven from their homes by high property taxes. We now must also prioritize that schools are being properly funded. Let’s remember that good schools are essential to maintaining property values.” Senator Biaggi concluded.
Office of State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, 1250 Waters Place, Suite 1202, Bronx, NY 10461. Open Monday to Friday: 10am to 6pm. Phone: 718-822-2049. Email: [email protected]

Statement from Westchester County District Attorney’s Office on the Passage of the Red Flag Law
“It’s a good day. Finally, New York State has added new common sense gun safety laws to help keep our residents safe. In passing the Red Flag Law, the State Legislature has created extreme risk protection orders (ERPO) to take guns out of the hands of individuals in crisis who may be at risk of harming themselves and others. This is now an important key for family members, educators, law enforcement and prosecutors to help prevent what might be a personal or mass tragedy. ERPO will help us prevent suicide, potentially fatal acts of domestic violence, and well as deadly attacks on schools, places of worship or other public places. We commend the NYS Legislature for enacting this law, giving all of us another legal instrument to prevent horrific acts of violence.”
Republican Nominees for Village of Pelham offices
As a result of the recent Village of Pelham Republican Caucus, Candace Ripoll was nominated for Mayor, along with Trustee nominees Stephen Doka, Arthur Long and LeRoy Marriott (pictured left to right behind Candace Ripoll.

Based on these criteria, a measure/rating for each Real Estate Professional is established indicating their relative effectiveness in closing high-value sales above market value in comparison to other Real Estate Professionals in their region.

When asked about her success Ann has stressed her educational background. She is emphatic about her clients being fully knowledgeable about their Real Estate transaction. Ann says, “Buying a house is one of the largest monetary investments a person makes in their lifetime and it is very stress producing. Sell-ing a house also produces angst. I feel the way to relieve this anxiety is with a thorough understanding of the process. Knowledge is Power. A thorough communication of information about, what is happening and why, is beneficial for all concerned. I feel this assistance is what has made me successful year after year.”

Regeneron Science Talent Search Honors Local Student
PMHS senior Caitlin Wong was recently honored as one of just 300 scholars in the prestigious Re-generon Science Talent Search for her research project titled “Assess-ing the Plasticity of Pain Through the Lens of People with Limb Loss.” This is the second straight year in which a PMHS science re-search student has achieved this award, which includes 1,964 ap-plications received from 601 high schools in 48 states, two U.S. ter-ritories and eligible students living in seven other countries.
Caitlin and the Pelham Sci-ence Research program, taught by Steve Beltecas and Joe DiBello, were each awarded $2,000 as a result of her being named a Regen-eron Scholar. Top 40 finalists will be announced later this month.
“It’s nice to feel like someone recognizes my research outside my field and that its actually had an impact on other people,” said Caitlin. “I’ve dedicated so much time to it, so it’s nice to feel that it actually made a difference.”
Her research looked into Phantom limb pain (PLP), a chron-ic condition that affects people with limb loss, causing pain where their limb was prior to amputa-tion. Her complete abstract on her research follows:
“Pain is essential in protect-ing the body, yet it can be danger-ous and debilitating if persistent. Many currently hypothesize that pain is subjective and is affected by context and perception of the per-son in pain, ultimately affecting their experience of pain. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is chronic pain where people with limb loss expe-rience pain where their limb was prior to amputation. 80% of peo-
ple with limb loss experience PLP, yet despite the prevalence, there is a lack of evidence supporting the basis for non-pharmacologi-cal treatments, even though said treatments have been used in clin-ics. My study aimed to address this gap in research by assessing PLP as related to sensation and cogni-tion. I found a unique connection between PLP and both sensation and cognition, as compared to re-sidual limb pain (RLP).
Through my study, I also cre-ated a new protocol for measuring sensation which may be validated and implemented in the future. Secondary analysis showed both that perception may impact the experience of PLP, and that left un-addressed, PLP will not decrease over 1-year, contrary to previous research. Overall, it is essential to further explore treatments for PLP, which is now feasible with my findings demonstrating the asso-ciation between pain, sensation, and cognition.”
“I’m so proud of Caitlin, not only for being named a Regeneron scholar, but for her hard work and
dedication over the years,” said Mr. Beltecas. “Our science research students pour in countless hours, during class, late nights, and over the summer and it is rewarding to see their work pay off.”
To conduct her research, which is three years in the making, Caitlin visited amputee support group meetings and developed relationships with those she who agreed to participate in her research. She is planning on re-turning to the support groups to share her results and gain further insights from the participants.
“I can’t express just how much those people have gone through,” said Caitlin. “Every time I went to those support group meetings, it was so moving to hear them talk about the things they had to go through and that they are still going through. So many of my subjects just inspired me. A big part of that is their resilience.”
Caitlin, who is also an avid dancer and plays the clarinet, said she plans to continue research in college and hopes to gain experi-ence in different areas of science.

Rotary Club of the Pelhams Visits Rotary Club of Kingston, Jamaica!
BY JOE NUNZIATA
The theme line of the Pelham Rotary – “Providing life-saving initiatives around the corner and around the world” – was surely demonstrated recently as Pelham Rotarians Joy and Hugh May-nard-Reid travelled 1600 miles to Kingston, Jamaica to show their support of the opening of the new Pediatric Unit at Bustamante Children’s Hospital in Kingston. This visionary medical initiative was made possible by Rotary’s Gift of Life International Program.
According to Hugh, “The strategy of Gift of Life International remains focused on the develop-ment of sustainable pediatric cardiac centers of excellence and the empowerment of doctors and nurses to treat children in their country or region of birth. Our Rotarian partners in Jamaica are helping to ensure that reliable care will be provided to these children in need.”
Lyn Roth-Jacobs, President of the Rotary Club of the Pelhams added, “We are so very proud of Joy and Hugh for representing not only our local Pelham Rotary, but, in fact, all of Pelham, in provid-ing a genuine spirit of encouragement and support to our neighbors so far away.”

With Gratitude,Cheryl Champ, Ed. D., Superintendent of Schools
The Pelham Public Schools is pleased to announce that Unified Basketball, a varsity-level sport, designed specifically to foster the inclusion of students with disabilities in competitive play, will be offered for the first time this spring.
Unified basketball, which is sanctioned under the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, will have a six-game season and compete against other teams from Westchester and the surrounding counties. The five players on the court at any point in time will be a combination of students with and without disabilities. The team will have two coaches and sanctioned referees will officiate each game. At the end of the season, the team may have the chance to compete in a culmi-nating event hosted by Section 1.
Additionally, there will be a student-led committee comprised of students of all ability levels who will seek to promote inclusion, leadership and school spirit for the team and community.
“This is such an exciting opportunity and I am thrilled to be able to bring unified athletics to the Pelham schools,” said Stephen Luciana, director of athletics, physical education and health. “Unified basketball is a great way to increase the engagement of all students in extracurricular activities and provide a chance to play in competitive athletics that is not often available.”
Dr. Cheryl Champ, superintendent of schools added, “The addition of unified basketball is a perfect extension of our goal to provide rich and rewarding experiences to all students who attend the Pelham Public Schools. In addition to giving our students with disabilities additional chances to play competitive sports, unified sports will foster friendships, understanding and strengthen im-portant bonds throughout PMHS and the community.”

On January 21st, the Junior League of Pelham hosted the second annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. At the event, representatives from 17 different non-profit organiza-tions were on hand to answer questions, present volunteer opportunities, and engage with community members who were looking for opportunities to get involved. Whether you were pas-sionate about food insecurity, or you were looking for a way to care for families dealing with a catastrophic illness, there was an opportunity for everyone.
New at this year’s event was the Junior League’s partnership with The Birthday Party Project, an organization that provides birthday parties for children living in homeless and transitional living facilities across the coun-try. Community members and their children were invited to decorate cards and goodie bags, create birthday banners, and wrap toys that had been collected by the Junior League in the weeks prior to and on the day of the event. All of the gifts and birthday party supplies that were collected will be used in the coming months to celebrate those who would not otherwise celebrate their birthday with a party. The generosity of all participants— from donating gifts, supplies, their creativity or time— was overwhelming and a true illustration of what the Pelham community represents. By the end of the event -- over 500 gifts and supplies were collected!
This event was a great success due to the help of so many people and we therefore have several people to thank. Special thanks go to: Zev Haber for providing his always upbeat musical talents to his tiniest fans, the Pelham Police Department for lending a hand whenever needed throughout the day, and the Village of Pelham for allowing the Junior League the use of the Daronco Town House. Last, but not least, a special thank you to the non-profit organizations who continue to do excellent and important work every day and to the over 300 members of our community who joined us to spread a little warmth on an otherwise freezing day.
The following organizations participated in this year’s fair for anyone who missed out on the day but may still be looking for an opportunity to get involved - Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum; The Birthday Party Project; Community Services Associates, Inc.; County Harvest; The Danny Fund; EcoPel; Girl Scouts of Pelham; The Humane Society of Westchester; New Rochelle YMCA; Pelham Art Center; Pelham Children’s Center; Pelham Civic Association; Pelham; Preservation and Garden Society; Project Community, Inc.; Town of Pelham Public Library; WESTHAB - Homes for Homeless

as possible so that it doesn’t need to be changed too often; however, sometimes life gets in the way and we need to do a minor tweak here and there or, perhaps even a major re-boot. In fact, good practice dictates that you go for regular, period-ic dental check-ups to prevent future problems. The same thing is true for estate plan-ning. You shouldn’ just put your will in a drawer and never re-visit your estate planning again. Remember, it’s not so simple.

Nothing is Simple When it Comes to WillsBY BERNARD A. KROOKS,
CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY
When you think about wills, what person would actu-ally want a complicated will or estate plan? Probably not very many or perhaps no one at all. Upon reflection, however, we think what clients are actually saying is that they want an in-expensive will. In reality, who really cares if a will is simple or not; what we really care about is how much it costs.
So, how do we know what type of estate plan you really need? Well, the best way to do that is to sit down and talk to you. We call this an initial consultation and it generally takes about 60-90 minutes. It’s amazing what we can learn during this time. It’s import-ant that you be totally honest so that we may help you ac-complish your estate planning objectives. We can’t possibly help you accomplish these ob-jectives if we don’t know what they are.
The problem will likely get worse if not addressed now. Estate planning often costs less to address situations that we know about, than it does to solve problems once they happen. Your lawyer needs to know about all your assets, how they are titled, who your family members are and much, much more in order for the lawyer to do the job properly.
By the end of the conver-sation, we will likely be able to
give you a flat fee cost for doing your estate planning. There may even be some additional options for you to consider, depending on how much you want to spend on your estate planning. Of course, we would not even suggest those options to you if there was not any potential benefit to you. Ul-timately, the final call on how to proceed and what to do and not to do rests with you, the cli-ent. We give you the options, tell you how they may help you and then you decide what you want to do. Ask as many ques-tions as you want, we are here to help.
Keep in mind, even if you really do need a simple will, you will also need advance health care and financial di-rectives so that your loved ones can make decisions for you if you become incapacitated be-fore you die. To many, this is at least, if not more, important as deciding who gets your assets when you pass away.
In any event, there is nothing “simple” about estate planning. It is a process and one that is ongoing. Even af-ter you have completed your estate planning, it still makes sense to review it every few years or upon the happening of a major life event such as the birth of a grandchild, divorce of a child or some other signifi-cant family event.
As lawyers, we do our best to make sure your estate plan is fluid and as flexible

Board of Trustees Work Session Presents Three Developers’ Plans
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
Village of Pelham Mayor Michael Volpe called the Janu-ary 17th Board of Trustees Work Session to order to discuss, “Re-quest for Proposals (RFP) and responses thereto” from three developers.
First, Art Collins, Presi-dent, Collins Enterprises, Old Greenwich, CT said that they were addressing 7 goals that Mayor Volpe outlined by de-molishing the parking lot on 4th and 5th Avenues, sell cur-rent Sparks Avenue Village Hall property and build commercial and rental housing there; up-grade and centralize Police, Fire and administrative services, retaining the Fire House; re-configure Department of Public Works structure and reach out to the Pelham Art Center, creat-ing an Arts District and expand-ing gallery space.
North Lot, between 5th, 4th, 3rd and Lincoln Avenue would incorporate 10,000 square feet of retail space, hous-ing along 4th Avenue with un-derground parking and 120 rent-al apartments.
Collins stated that the tax revenue for this project is esti-mated to be over $1.5 million, more that offsetting the cost for the projected total additional school children to be 5 to 8.
Average rent for 5th Avenue units would be $3778; Sparks Avenue, $3300 with 5% afford-able housing on 5th Avenue site and close to 14,000 square feet of commercial space between the two properties.
Second, Patrick Normoyle, Pelham House LLC stated that they would acquire the Capi-tal One Bank site, developing a Consolidated Municipal Ser-vices Center to house a new Fire House, Police Station and Village Hall.
Normoyle introduced ar-chitect Keith Pitocchi, who out-lined a proposal for a mixed-use building located on the site of the current Fire Station and Village parking lots near the Pelham Art Center, featuring 115 luxury resi-dential units consisting of studio,
one-bedroom, two-bedrooms; 3-bedroom “Maisonettes” along Third Street and six affordable units. There would be 9000 sq ft of commercial space, along with 213 parking space, of which 98 would be municipal parking.
Finally, Joseph Forgione, owner, JMF Properties de-scribed a municipal center on Sparks Avenue, set back from the road, putting a municipal building behind current Village Hall after moving DPW garage, consolidating Police and Fire De-partments.
A 2,500 square-feet ground level retail unit at corner of Fifth Avenue and Third Street with wrap around 4-story residential building containing 140 dwell-ings and 216 parking spaces is also planned.
