4th Annual City Street Fair Educates and EntertainsBY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

Over 150 crafters, art-ists, jewelry, international cuisine and apparel mer-chants lined both sides of Main Street between Centre and North Avenues on Sun-day, September 18 for the 4th Annual New Rochelle Street Fair. Expanded displays were placed on Division and Church Streets. New this year was a fabulous Beer and Wine Garden, hosted by NR Future.

Mayor Noam Bramson along with Kevin Cavanagh, VP for Enrollment Manage-ment at The College of New Rochelle were joined by the

tunes, while the Delphi Belly Dancers performed in the street.

“I am happy to be in here New Rochelle…,” Con-gressman Eliot Engel stated. “New Rochelle is special to me. I got married here. My first date with my wife was here. That was about 36 years ago. I have been com-ing to New Rochelle ever since…. The street fair today

is one of the reasons that make New Rochelle such a great place to live.”

One of the street fair’s highlights was a 3D Virtual Reality Simulator presented by Ed Bergstraesser, Direc-tor of External Affairs with AT&T. The simulator allows

Ed Bergstraesser, the Director of External Affairs with AT&T presented a 3D Virtual Reality Simulator

as part of their, “It Can Wait” program. Par-ticipants experience the “virtual” reality of tex-ting and driving. Mayor Noam Bramson and his son Owen, were visibly moved by their experi-ence.

“We have found that 7 in 10 people admit to texting while driving, even despite the fact that 9 people are dying every day from texting while driving. Our message to people out there is ‘No text is worth a life. It can wait,’” Bergstraesser stressed.

“New Rochelle’s Street Fair was an enor-mous success, bring-ing thousands of resi-dents to our downtown for food, drink, crafts and fun,” Bramson noted. “Congratu-lations and thank you to all of the organizers and spon-sors.”

The College of New Ro-chelle was the Queen City Sponsor of Street Fair in partnership with the City of New Rochelle, New Rochelle Parks & Recreation, New

Rochelle Downtown BID, the Chamber of Commerce, New Rochelle Council on the Arts and NR Future. The event was sponsored by People United Bank, News 12, WVOX, the Police Foun-dation and Volunteer New York!

St. John's Wilmot celebrates completion of Garden Beautification Project

BY DOMINIQUE CLAIRE SHUMINOVA

St. John's Wilmot Episco-pal Church, known as “the little church on the hill”, welcomed the New Rochelle community with "open hearts, open minds,

open doors" on the afternoon of Saturday, October 1st 2016 in celebration of the comple-tion of their recent Garden Beautification Project. Light re-freshments were served while members of the congregation sang hymns in the gardens, conducted by music director Frank Pisani.

Perched atop a hill on six acres in the historic Cooper's Corners hamlet, St. John's Wilmot Episcopal Church is New Rochelle's oldest house of worship in continuous use. The church was designed by architect Alexander Durand,

and built in the Carpenter Gothic style on a foundation of Westchester marble. The church's cor-nerstone was laid on October 12th 1859, and overlooks the busy intersec-tion of North Avenue, Mill

Road, and Wilmot Road to this day.

Enter the church's St. Francis of Assisi Garden through the arbor from Lovell Road, and step into a quaint and lovingly tended anachro-nism. Expect a warm welcome from New Rochelle resident and member of St. John's ves-try, Joanne Bartoli, and the new

rector, Rev. Jennie Talley. “The church's address is 11 Wilmot Road, but you can't stop there, not since horse and buggy days,” Bartoli laughs. She as-sures me the gardens were “overgrown and unsightly” be-

fore St. John's – through the generos-ity of The Gwendolen Appleyard Trust – hired land-scaper Regina Maffei to make-over their gardens.

St. John's is seeped in history. During his “New Ro-chelle years”, Norman Rock-well and his family belonged to the church, and all three of his children were baptized there. On display in two glass cases in its entry hall are an as-sortment of historical memo-rabilia, including an original 1858 Hymn Book. Nestled in the Columbarium at the far end of the garden is a time

capsule, waiting to be opened in 2058.

The forward-looking Rev-erend Jennie Talley was called as the 20th rector of St. John's Wilmot on June 5th 2016, and will become the first woman rector in the church's 158 year history when she is installed on December 10th 2016. She lives in Long Island City with her wife.

St. John's rents space to Cooper's Corners Montessori school at the location of the first public school in New Ro-

chelle, established under the provisions of the Act of April 9th, 1795, the first public school law passed by the State of New York, and to Light And Life Ko-rean Methodist Church.

St. John's congregation, which numbers about 85 peo-ple, cordially invites the New Rochelle community to join them for one of their upcom-ing events. Their annual Bless-ing of The Animals was held on Sunday October 2nd 2016.

City Council Okays Pay RaiseBY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

The New Rochelle City Council voted 4-3 to raise their salaries at their Sep-tember 20 Regular Legisla-tive Meeting, with Mayor Noam Bramson, Councilmen Barry Fertel, Jared R. Rice and Councilwoman Liz Fried voting “yes;” Council-men Ivar Hyden, Albert Tar-antino and Lou Trangucci dissenting.

Commenting on the salary increase, former Leg-islator and School Board President Pearl Quarles stat-ed, “People in this City are having difficulty maintain-ing their homes and paying their taxes…people making less than $34,000 still have to pay taxes…Consequently, the whole argument behind these raises is utterly ridicu-lous…”

Earlier, Council ap-proved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 70 Nardozzi LLC for a long-term lease of a portion of a building to be constructed

at 70 Nardozzi Place for a new Department of Public Works City Yard.

“The developer men-tioned that they did not have a tenant for their first floor space,” City Manager Charles B. Strome III noted. “Sanitation vehicles will be kept at our Beechwood facil-ity with no garbage stored at Nardozzi Place. Most of our trucks [at Nardozzi] will be covered, giving them

a longer life. Both facili-ties can be constructed for $30,000,000.”

Commissioner of De-velopment Luiz Aragon add-ed that the 245,000 square feet structure will be built on 3.42 acres near Costco/Home Depot complex with DPW occupying 130,000 sq. ft. Strome said that a Bond Resolution for $5,000,000 will cover the previous

New Rochelle appoints new Director of Guidance and Counseling

The City School District of New Rochelle has appointed Gregg Sloane, a 23-year veteran of the district, as the district’s new director of guidance and counseling. He takes over for Mi-chael Kenny, who retired over the summer.

Sloane, started in the district in 1993 as a counselor at New Rochelle High School and served there until 1998. He moved to Albert Leonard Middle School in the same capacity and continued there until he was selected for the new assignment.

“I’m excited about this new opportunity to continue seeing students at New Rochelle reach their highest potential,” said Sloane. “I look forward to strengthening my relationship with New Rochelle families and communities at large.”

Sloane received a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and a master’s in counsel-ing psychology from Springfield College in Massachusetts. He also received a professional diploma in school administration from The Col-lege of New Rochelle.

In his new position, Sloane will collaborate with and supervise 22 counselors who help stu-dents with personal development and academic planning.

With nearly 11,000 students in 10 schools, the City School District of New Rochelle, through an active partnership amongst community, parents, staff and students, provides a high-quality and challenging education for every child, in a safe, nurturing environment that embraces rich diversity and drives success.

Westchester County Association Envisions Bright Broadband Future for City

BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

Westchester County Association (WCA) Strate-gic Advisor Joan McDonald along with Julia Emrick, Managing Director, Opera-tions and Events; Amy Cas-sidy, Special Assistant to President and CEO and WCA President/CEO Bill Mooney appeared at the Monday, September 12 New Rochelle City Council Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting to discuss a “blueprint of eco-nomic development” for the City utilizing Smart Growth Broadband.

McDonald proposed a non-binding compact be-tween Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers. “In 2011WCA launched the blueprint for economic development. The timing was right, because the nation was coming out of a great Recession. The blue-print focused on housing, land use, innovation and

high speed broadband for Smart Growth.

“Millennials who are 25% of our population are leaving New York City and choosing to work out of their homes…Smart Growth is a philosophy of planning, building and developing to reduce urban sprawl and preserve the environment.

“What are the keys to success? 1) Critical Mass hav-ing a minimum of 100,000 homes; 2) Stability in gov-ernment and business; 3) Projected growth in popula-tion; 4) Utility Partners in infrastructure, poles and rights of way,” McDonald stated.

“We talked to senior citizens who want broad-band in their homes, as well as hospitals,” Mooney added. “Healthcare and education are the biggest beneficiaries and Google is looking to ex-pand.” McDonald pointed out that with high speed broadband, municipalities

could realize 10% savings in street lighting, smart water metering and traffic signals.

Next, City Manager Charles B. Strome III intro-duced the new Finance Com-missioner, Tracy Yogman, CPA.

A Resolution was passed, sponsored by Mayor Noam Bramson, commend-ing the New Rochelle Little League Boys’ Eleven and Un-der Team for becoming the District 21 Champions, Sec-tion 3 North Champions and qualifying for the New York State Finals.

COW Legislation in-cluded Resolutions ac-cepting the bid of Acocella Contracting for repair of potholes at various loca-tions and supporting ap-plication of Scarsdale Am-bulance Corporation for a Certificate of Need, cover-ing either the area of the City north of Stratton Road or north of Quaker Ridge Road.

City Council Approves New Location for City YardThe New Rochelle City

Council voted unanimously last night to approve a Mem-orandum of Understand-ing that would relocate the City’s aged and outdated Public Works facility from prime waterfront property in the City’s East End to two locations near I-95.

The majority of the Pub-lic Works bureaus would be moved to a new 130,000

square foot enclosed Opera-tions Center located at 70 Nardozzi Place, a parcel lo-cated adjacent to Costco. The Sanitation Bureau would be located nearby on Beech-wood Avenue, the City’s cur-rent leaf transfer site. The cost of completion for both sites is estimated at $30 mil-lion.

“The new City Yard will enable us to deliver essen-

tial public works services ef-ficiently and effectively for decades to come,” said May-or Noam Bramson. “At the same time, we will be free-ing up valuable waterfront property- inaccessible to the public for over a century- for higher and better use.”

The new Operations Center at 70 Nardozzi Place will occupy the bottom floor of a five story commercial

building through a public-private partnership agree-ment and long term lease.

“Thanks to the collabor-ative efforts of our staff and departments of Develop-ment and Public Works, this

agreement will bring our Public Works operations into the 21st century, at the lowest possible cost to tax-payers,” noted City Manager Charles B. Strome, III.

DPW Acting Commis-

sioner Scott Pickup added, “Our staff will have upgrad-ed facilities, our equipment will be better preserved and protected, and our residents will reap the benefits in im-proved delivery. It’s a win for all.”

Pelham Funeral Home Offers Free Unique Bereavement Program and Support Group

According to Clive Anderson, Funeral Director & Proprietor of Pelham Funeral Home “Grief lingers on beyond the funeral and burial. It’s a process - and personal journey - that requires comfort and sup-port from not only family and friends, but many times, from experienced bereave-ment counselors. We are proud to offer our unique Lighthouse Bereavement Program delivered by expert counseling, as a cour-tesy to our clients”. This is only one of many new innovations that Mr. Anderson has in-corporated into the newly refurbished Pel-ham Funeral Home. He added, “We under-stand the variety of different emotions that our clients experience. We support them every step along the way… and that includes sometimes months after the funeral. We build genuine relationships with our fami-lies, engendering a caring support that they can always rely on”.

Director of this visionary bereavement program is Raman Kaur Mohabir - a nation-ally certified Clinical Mental Health Coun-selor with vast experience in bereavement counseling of adults, teens and children. Accord-ing to Ms. Mohabir, “The gratification of seeing a family become whole again and resume their lives in happiness is enormous. Our goal for the Lighthouse Program is to provide a positive environment where people gather to share their commonalities, and come together as a true community with love and support.”

Still Here is a project conceived by NYC photographer Brian Marcus, whose grandfather, Fred Marcus, was a survi-vor of Buchenwald. Committed to pre-serving the legacy of Holocaust survi-vors, Brian's concept was to photograph over 100 members of this remarkable community.

To round out the project Brian wanted to add in-sights from this group to educate and inform future generations. He partnered with author June Hersh and together they photographed and interviewed over 150 survivors and WWII liberators. Their portraits and quotes speak volumes.

“With the support of Kinetic Sports Club, we can take it to the next level for the 5th annual race in 2016,” said Race Director Jason Jeffries. “For the first time we will offer prizes for top finishers, even better course markings, more pre-race facilities, throw a post-race party, and move the race to the Gazebo at the center of town. And this brings people into the center of Pelham at the start of holiday season.”

Phil Donnelly of Kinetic Sports Club added, “This is a great community event and we’re excited to support such a great cause.”

Also new in 2016, the Half Marathon course will be of-ficially certified with USATF which is important for many runners. They can officially set a world record, course record,

or a personal record (“PR”), and running certain times on an official course enables them to qualify for elite races.

Top finishers will receive cash prizes, Half Marathon finishers will receive medals, and all runners will receive race T-shirts. Registration for the 2016 race is open and more than 150 people have already registered, including runners from across the NYC Metro Area, the UK, and Australia.

There will be a series of preview runs to help gain fa-miliarity with the Pelham Half

course. Runners can find the schedule of preview runs the Pelham Half Marathon’s Face-book page. Members and non-members of Kinetic Sports Club are invited to join the new Kinetic running club meeting Wednesdays at 6pm. Target distance for runs is between 4 and 5 miles.

Local students to receive the 2016 Milly Kibrick Youth Service AwardCounty Executive

Robert P. Astorino and the Westchester County Youth Board will honor 10 Westchester students with the 2016 Milly Kibrick Youth Service Award for their outstanding contri-butions to their commu-nities. The awards will be presented at a dinner be-ginning at 6 p.m., October 19, at Beckwith Pointe, 700 Davenport Avenue, New Rochelle.

“These 10 students are examples of the posi-tive community work and global reach by young peo-ple throughout Westches-ter,” Astorino said. “Just as Milly Kibrick made a last-ing impact in Westchester County through her life’s work, this year’s honorees touch so many lives and will continue to do so in the years to come.”

The 2016 Milly

Kibrick Youth Ser-vice Awards local recipients are: Ser-ena Seales, New Ro-chelle High School and Scott Cohen, Scarsdale High School.

Serena Seales is 16 years old and a ju-nior at New Rochelle High School. She has been volunteering at the Wartburg Adult Day Care Cen-ter over the sum-mer for two years, where she assists the elderly. She is a member of The Na-tional Honor Soci-ety. She is a member of the Gardening Club and the Ignite Mentoring program at her school, which involves upperclassmen mentor-ing incoming freshman so they can better transition

Serena Seales

into high school. Serena works at Kumon, where she tutors children ages 5- 8 to read and write. She

aspires to become a lawyer and a part-time beautician.

During pre-sea-son football practice in his freshman year, Scott Cohen suffered a concussion that took over a year to heal. He missed two months of school and had to quit foot-ball. Since then, it has been Scott’s mis-sion to advocate for better services for concussion and oth-er traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims. After partnering with the Concussion Legacy Foundation, Scott fund-raised

over $10,000 and hosted their Executive Director, Chris Nowinski, at a Scars-dale High School event for concussion protocol and management. Scott

also introduced “Ten Best Practices for Concussion Management” with the Westchester County Con-cussion Task Force, and went to Albany to fight for special care for TBI vic-tims. Scott’s work as a TBI activist has been featured in numerous press out-lets, including Fox News NY, CBS News NY, News 12 Westchester, the Scars-dale Inquirer, and West-chester Magazine.

The Milly Kibrick Youth Service Awards are given in memory of Mil-ly Kibrick, a prominent county social worker and youth activist, who dedi-cated her life to helping underprivileged children. During her career and in retirement, she was the quintessential social worker, social entrepre-neur, volunteer and politi-cal activist, pursuing so-

cial and economic justice for children of all ages.

The aim of the Youth Board’s awards program is to recognize high school students who have been involved in building a flourishing, strong and compassionate commu-nity through individual efforts and actions.

“She has been so pleased with the community and her real estate experience here, that she decided she would like to join the profession,” said Sona Davidian.

Sandra has worked as an office man-ager at a venture captial firm and digital advertising company in NYC and her or-ganizational and interpersonal skills will be invaluable in a real estate career.

Special Screening of Nosferatu with Live Score by The Invincible Czars

Join the Picture House Regional Film Center (TPH) on Friday, October 14th at 9:00 p.m. for a special screening of 1922 classic horror silent film, Nosferatu accompanied by a live score performed by The Invincible Czars. The special screening and live performance is part of the Picture House’s Friday Night Frights series which will highlight a different horror movie each week throughout the month of October.

For over a decade, Austin music ensemble The Invincible Czars have been crafting origi-nal silent film scores that combine rock and orchestral music. The group’s special live per-formance at The Picture House accompanying F.W. Murnau’s 1922 vampire classic Nosfera-tu, is an original score that blends their unique sound with vocals, sampling, and elements of Bela Bartok’s Six Romanian Folk Dances.

A classic of German Expressionistic horror, Nosferatu is an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that reinvents the vampire character as Count Orlok, a bald, spidery monster with rat-like fangs and giant claws. Filmed in moody low-angle camera angles to maximize the creep factor, Nosferatu was so unsettling when it was first released that ru-mors persist to this day claiming that actor Max Schreck really was a creature of the night.

Tickets to the Nosferatu screening and special live performance at The Picture House are $15/general admission and $12/students and seniors and are available at http://www.thepicture-house.org/nosferatu-with-live-soundtrack-by-the-invincible-czars/ or at the box office, 175 Wolfs Lane, Pelham.

Don’t be scared of using our secure services

BY THE NEW ROCHELLE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE

Autumn is the season

of dressing up as monsters and watching scary mov-ies in the dark. Even though most of these tricks and treats are just for fun, some of them can be scary, and for good reason. One of the most common threats we face is identity theft. Just imagine someone stealing your in-formation and pretending to be you. You’d have no control as this person acts in your name, spending mon-ey — and possibly, ruining your credit.

That’s one trick you can do without, which is why we’ve added an extra layer of security for our customers when they interact with us online.

Your my Social Secu-rity at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount is a safe and secure place to do business with us.

On July 30, 2016, Social Security implemented a new layer of security, asking ac-count holders to sign into their account using a one-time code sent via text mes-sage. This second layer of security requires more than a username and a password is known as “multifactor au-thentication.” Although we

have always provided the “extra security” option to account holders, we imple-mented this new process to comply with the President’s Executive Order on Improv-ing the Security of Consum-er Financial Transactions.

As before July 30, cur-rent account holders will be able to access their secure account using only their username and password. We highly recommend the extra security text message option, but it will not be required. If you are uncomfortable with texting, we will be creating an option where you will re-ceive a code via email.

We strive to balance se-curity and customer service options, and we want to en-sure that our online services are both easy to use and se-cure. The my Social Security service has always featured a robust verification and au-thentication process, and it remains safe and secure.

There’s no requirement that you access your per-sonal my Social Security ac-count as a result of the steps we are taking. However, when you do access your ac-count, we encourage you to sign up for the extra securi-ty text message option. You can access your account by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

Yankees Legend Mariano Rivera Joins College of New Rochelle President to Present Full Scholarships to Two Local High School Students

The College of New Ro-chelle’s President, Judith Hun-tington, along with New York Yankees Legend Mariano Ri-vera and his wife, Clara Rivera, presented full scholarships to two deserving high school stu-dents from Yonkers today dur-ing a presentation ceremony.

Cheyenne Abreu, an honors graduate from Lincoln High School in Yonkers, and Luis Soto, an honor roll gradu-ate from Roosevelt High School in Yonkers, are this year’s re-cipients of the Mariano and Clara Rivera Scholarship, be-stowed on students who have achieved academic excellence while being actively involved in their communities. This is the first time that the College has presented two scholar-ships – to both a female student and a male student – since the school became a completely coeducational institution this semester.

The Mariano and Clara Rivera Scholarship, which was first created in 2014, is a four-year scholarship that covers tuition, as well as room and board for its recipients.

“I am proud to present Cheyenne and Luis with the Mariano and Clara Rivera Scholarship. Their academic excellence and service to oth-ers are the hallmark of an Ursu-line education and personify our mission,” Huntington said. “We congratulate them both on their remarkable achieve-

ments and look forward to their progress at The College of New Rochelle throughout the next four years.”

Mariano Rivera added, “I have no doubt these two will make a difference in whatever they choose to do. My encour-aging words to them are to be the best they can be. I believe they will impact the world in so many ways. My blessings and prayers are that they also continue to help the institu-tion that is The College of New Rochelle.”

Abreu, the youngest of five siblings, was active in her high school’s student govern-ment and a member of the vol-leyball team. She is also a tal-ented singer, who performed with several of the school’s music groups and sang the national anthem at her gradu-

ation ceremony. Abreu also held a part-time job while in high school. However, as the time to commit to a college ap-proached, she began to send letters requesting a year’s de-ferment.

“I was considering tak-ing a year off from school to work and save money because I knew college was a big finan-cial burden on my family,” she said. “When I found out about the Rivera scholarship, my mother said, ‘This is a bless-ing from God. You have to go there!’”

Abreu will major in edu-cation and psychology and is focused on a career as a lobby-ist. “I want to lobby on behalf of hospitals and medical re-search,” she said. “Their work is something that touches me deeply.” She plans to partici-

pate in the College’s music en-sembles.

Soto is the oldest of four children and the first in his family to attend college. Born on a farm in the south of Mex-ico, he moved to the United States when he was three years old. In order to help with fam-ily expenses, he works a part-time job at a gas station. Math has always been an area of aca-demic strength for him, and he plans to major in mathematics.

Soto anticipates exciting new experiences at The Col-lege of New Rochelle. “I’m look-ing forward to living on cam-pus and making new friends here,” he said. “I’m very grate-ful to the College and the Riv-eras for this opportunity.”

Fashion’s Fantastic Fall: Introducing this Season’s Soft, Relaxed Silhouettes

BY BARBARA BARTON SLOANE

This season brings a multitude of roomy sil-houettes in gentle textures and prints. There are easy skirts, cozy jackets and supple knits, exactly the kind of pieces that will make you want to curl up in front of a warm fire and just unwind.

Western was the theme at Ralph Lauren’s Fall/Winter show with a soup-con of Art Deco thrown in for a bit of glamour. The clothes fed into ideas that have been at the core of the brand since Lauren launched it almost five decades ago. We saw fa-miliar Americana classics like the buffalo check shirt and a cowboy shirt shown in black – perfect for the city- and embellished with white embroidery. Citi-fied, also, was his, on-trend satin jumpsuit in Princely-purple, a statement piece to be sure, with a gentle cowl-neck, sexily belted and, bowing to Lauren’s love of

western, a large cowboy hat sitting jauntily atop the model’s head.

At Jenny Packham, the presentation was fairly standard but every dress she sent out appeared des-tined for a party. Packham infused her clothes with a newfound energy by layer-ing on thick swaths of shine

and hemlines up to mid-thigh. One of her best looks was long and lean tomato-red trou-sers topped with a small, sheer nude blouse made elegant simply by the ruffle at the wrist. Comfort is still in every woman’s mind, and Packham made the case for this quite handily.

Diane von F u r s t e nb e r g ’ s iconic wrap dress is back – modern, chic, and making a softer, more al-luring statement than ever before. She showed a killer frock, re-imagined as a swingy LBD, widely belted and taking on a new urban sophistication.

This marks Michael Kors 35th Fall show, but he’s not in a nostalgic mood. He’s been around long enough to know that all it’s

really about is change. Why not embrace it? Well, he did. His presenta-tion was lively with flirtatious ready-to-wear clothes, shoes and bags. “It’s an experi-ment,” he said, and that’s the attitude he brought to the new collection. “I like bare legs in winter; I like night for day. It’s about the interesting mix.” Well, Mi-chael Kors, we like you, too. In fact, we’re cra-zy about this collection, and

one very classic, laid-back look in browns, a bow to this leaf-peeping season. There was a cable sweater in toast, window-pane ankle-length pants and a long, loose belt in deep, dark brown. Kors: right-on and always right.

Tory Burch presented a refined take on sports-wear classics riddled with equestrian details. New

were jockey silks, jodhpurs, excellent suede knee-high boots and color-blocked wool coats that called to mind the chic of 1970s Gu-cci and Ferragamo. She had fun with a dress in pretty purple batik that stopped just above the ankle, and adorned with a draped neckline – haute hippie fes-tive.

It’s just over a year since Alessandro Michele took over as Gucci’s cre-ative director but that’s an eon in this digital age, dur-ing which Michele’s soft, vintage, “renaissance” look has made him the ‘designer-of-the-moment.’ Michele pulls from so many eras simultaneously, all accom-plished with effortless skill. Sent down the runway was an eye-popping look of cof-fee colored cropped pants worn with tight mock-tur-tleneck sweater, a v-neck woven into the design. Striking, vibrant, and full of life – done in black, red and white. Alessandro Mi-chele doesn’t try to be “cool” or “hot” like Tom Ford – this guy is warm.

Warm. With these im-minently wearable, won-derful offerings, we will let that warmth welcome in an exciting new Fall sea-son.

The College of New Rochelle School of Arts & Sciences Welcomes First Co-Ed Class during Freshman Convocation

A new era began at The College of New Rochelle (CNR) when it welcomed its first coedu-cational freshman class to the School of Arts & Sciences. The students were greeted on cam-pus during Freshman Convocation on Sept. 6. Having accepted only women since its found-ing 112 years ago, dozens of men have been registered for the 2016-17 school year. With the transition, CNR has attracted students from all over the nation. So far, over fifty men have enrolled in the College. Additionally, an increased number of women – who would not con-sider an all-women school – have enrolled at CNR, making this the largest freshman class in 30 years.

by Charlie. The probate court agreed with the executor’s po-sition, and ordered that a “con-structive trust” be imposed on the properties for the ben-efit of Sam’s estate. All prop-erty and money transferred by Charlie using the power of attorney had to be returned to Sam’s estate.

The court concluded that Sam did not have the requisite capacity to sign the power of attorney giving Charlie the au-thority to conduct these trans-actions and make the gifts. However, capacity is very dif-ficult to determine, especially after the fact. This case very easily could have been decided differently.

It is critical to select the right person and to put proper controls in place. There are other legal tools such as a trust which may provide additional benefits. A power of attorney is an essential element of your estate plan.

If a kitchen island in your future, careful consideration should be given to the design. Do not try to use the island for too much because it can nega-tively impact the overall effi-ciency of the kitchen. Although a compromise, a peninsula can be used for many of the same functions as an island.

Some older homes cannot support either option. Work-ing with a creative kitchen de-signer can maximize the space you have.

Dreams of the Perfect IslandBY PAUL BOOKBINDER, M.I.D., C.R.

Everyone these days, seem to dream of the perfect “oasis” in the middle of their kitchen. The question stands, “Is an “island” a prerequisite to a perfect kitchen?”

All of the gorgeous kitch-ens that you see in magazines and books seem to incorpo-rate this singularly important structure, but upon close ex-amination these kitchens are as big as the average home. However, if you do have the space, an island is a great way to increase the functional-ity and aesthetics of your kitchen. They are so versatile that they can be designed as a workplace, an eating place, or both; and can be all one level or multi-level. They can also be used to house the primary or secondary sink, a cooktop, oven, or dishwasher.

If there is one primary cook working in the kitchen the recommended space be-tween each side of the island and the cabinets or walls should be a minimum of 42”.

This will ensure that ovens, dishwashers, etc. will not in-terfere with the walking space when their doors are open. If there are two chefs prepar-ing meals in the kitchen there should be at least 48” around the island so they don’t bump into each other.

When you are planning to add seating around the is-land you must allow ample room. There should be a mini-mum width of 24” per diner. The space for knee room var-ies with the height of the island; 19” of knee clearance for a 30” surface; 15” for 36” and 12” for a 42” high island. And, if the area behind the seating will not be used as a walkway it can be a minimum of 36”.

To ensure that you do have enough room to add an island to your existing kitchen, take out some masking tape and newspaper. Tape down the newspaper where you envision the island would be, and then make sure you do not walk on it for two weeks. If you can pass this test, you are prob-ably okay, but if you step all

A Power of Attorney, is it a License to Steal?BY BERNARD A. KROOKS,

CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

Proper estate planning involves more than a will or a trust. It means deciding who you would want to make medi-cal and financial decisions for you in the event you become incapacitated and are unable to make those decisions yourself. A durable power of attorney is an essential part of that pro-cess. In many cases, it makes sense for the agent under the power of attorney to have as much authority as possible so that your affairs can be prop-erly managed if you become ill. However, sometimes that authority or power can be abused.

In a recent case, Sam Don-ner (not his real name), was 82, living in his home when he fell and broke his hip and could no longer take care of himself. His long-time companion Bar-bara had been living with him and helping out, as needed. However, Sam’s physical and mental condition worsened and Barbara could no longer provide the proper care, so Sam’s nephew Charlie moved in to Sam’s house to help with his care.

Within a few weeks of his arrival at the house, Charlie had been named as agent on a power of attorney signed by his Uncle Sam and prepared by Charlie’s long-time lawyer. The power of attorney included language allowing Charlie to

do anything Sam could have done for himself, “including but not limited to the power to make gifts.”

Sam had no children. He did have two nieces and three nephews, including Charlie. He had signed several wills over the years, each one leav-ing most of his property to his nieces and nephews. That was the status of his estate plan-ning as of the time he gave a power of attorney to Charlie.

As Charlie took care of Sam, he learned from Sam’s companion Barbara about a bank account in Sam’s name. Charlie used his power of at-torney to get more informa-tion from the bank and then used it again to liquidate the ac-count. He transferred a small portion of the account to Sam’s other nephews and nieces, and put a significant portion of the proceeds into Sam’s checking account. He then used Sam’s checking account to pay his own bills until the account was depleted.

Two months after that, Charlie used his power of at-torney again — this time to sign a deed transferring Sam’s house to himself. The transfer deed did retain a life estate for Sam so he could legally live there for the rest of his life.

Sam died about a month later, and his last will and testa-ment was admitted to probate. His executor sought return of the house and the proceeds of the bank account transferred

GIRL IN TRANSIT: Festive Christmas Markets: a Troika of TreasuresBY BARBARA BARTON SLOANE

During the Christmas season, typically from mid-November through 23 Decem-ber, all Europe comes alive with holiday festivities and none are more joyous and all-encompassing than the Christ-mas markets. I had the op-portunity to experience these merry events when I joined a Uniworld River Cruise sailing down the Rhine to visit cities from Cologne, Germany to Strasbourg, France and all the way to Basel, Switzerland.

Heedless of the Wind and Weather

During this season, town centers, market squares and narrow cobblestone lanes come alive with brightly deco-rated stalls offering regional food, Christmas decorations, sweet confections, crafts, and

live entertainment. Oh, and let’s not forget gluhwein, that spicy, hot mulled wine that is reason enough to visit the markets – and it banishes the cold quite handily! On my excursions into several en-chanting German, French and Swiss medieval castle towns, I celebrated the magic of this season in a memorable way; an added plus was learning some background and history of each metropolis– and meeting warm and hospitable locals in the bargain.

Unique UniworldPopularity of river cruis-

ing is on the rise as continued news of mega-liners’ disasters at sea lure us toward more inti-mate small craft like the SS An-toinette, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise’s 164-passenger vessel. The company has been in business since 1976 and they

currently have 18 ships, includ-ing the all-inclusive SS Cathe-rine which launched this year. From the moment I stepped on-board I was giddy with ex-citement and that high never flagged throughout the cruise. I was particularly besotted

with my mini-conservatory, (called a French balcony), en-closed with heavy toile draper-ies and outfitted with two cozy chairs, a soft cashmere throw and a floor to ceiling window that, at the touch of a button, lowered half-way, the better to

encounter the waters of the River Rhine and its myriad fairytale castles.

This Little Trekker Went to Markets

Our first stop, Co-logne. This city of just a million inhabitants boasts 42 museums and a sophisticated din-ing culture as the cui-sines of all Cologne’s 181 nationalities are represented. It is Ger-many’s 4th largest city with a bustling center for trade fairs and con-

ventions, and a leading city for culture and art with a party-going mentality that encour-ages visitors to kommen Sie zu uns für einen drink (join us for a drink). There’s also a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site, the famed Gothic

Cathedral of Cologne. Con-struction began in the year 1248, was halted in 1473, then finally completed in 1880. A visit here is at once empower-ing and overpowering; among its treasures I found my favor-ite in the Lady Chapel – an im-portant triptych alter painting done in 1442. A portion of the work depicts the legend of St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgin companions who were mur-dered in Cologne by the Huns. The cherubic faces of Ursula’s girls are sweet and poignant. Cologne’s markets glow with pre-Christmas excitement and its stalls are small Alpine huts. I was smitten by the mar-ket on the Rudolfplatz which transported me into a world of Grimm fairytales. Costumed Grimm characters paraded the streets - a fantasy world for kids of all ages.

Next up – Koblenz. Talk about old … this city celebrated its 2,000th (no, seriously) birth-day in 1992. It lies at the conflu-ence of two rivers, the Rhine and the Moselle and is consid-ered the “corner of Germany.” Its markets’ 130 gaily decorated wooden stalls offered an exten-sive range of hand-made goods and Christmas decorations, hot, aromatic gluhwein, and bakeries with stolen and other German goodies.

Rudesheim is a medieval city in Hesse at the southern end of the Rhine valley that UNESCO World Heritage re-warded for its winemaking that dates back to the Romans who grew vineyards in the 1st century. Drosselgass is con-sidered the “party lane” of the town with taverns and restau-rants offering regional cuisine with famed Rudesheim wine, live entertainment and danc-

ing. There are 120 stalls here representing 12 countries, presenting Christmas customs from around the world, includ-ing specialties from far-flung Finland and Mongolia! I loved the life-size figures on Market Square, the largest Nativity scene in all of Germany.

I was looking forward to touring Heidelberg and it did not disappoint – in spite of a freezing, drizzle throughout the tour. I just pulled up my hoodie and was off to the mar-kets. Heidelberg is home to Germany’s oldest university and, of course, immortalized by Sigmund Romberg and his sparkling operetta The Stu-dent Prince. The town center sports a lively open-air ice rink and carolers that serenaded in colorful Victorian garb. As far as the castle, it would be hard to find a more striking loca-tion than the one it enjoys - set

against the deep green forests on Konigstuhl hill, its red sand-stone ruins towering majesti-cally over the entire Neckar valley. First mentioned in writ-ings in 1225, this monumental pile was destined to become one of the grandest castles of the Renaissance.

Our voyage touched a small corner of France – Strasbourg – which has the oldest Christmas markets in the country. The city walks a tightrope between France and Germany; it straddles a medi-eval past and its progressive future, pulling off this act in inimitable Alsatian style. The markets are situated close to Strasbourg’s inspiring cathe-dral and Old Town’s twisting alleys lined with crooked half-timbered houses à la Grimm. One wonders how a city that does Christmas markets and gingerbread so well can also be

home to the glittering EU Quar-ter and France’s second largest student population. Well, that’s Strasbourg...all the sweeter for its contradictions and cross-cultural quirks. The whole is-land of Strasbourg is a World Heritage Site and its holiday bazaars have existed from the middle ages. I indulged in one of the region’s specialties: Tarte Flambe. This confection con-sists of a thin pastry covered with cream, onions and bacon pieces (every bit as outrageous-ly good as it sounds!).

Certainly Not LeastOur last Port of Call: Basel,

Switzerland. It’s the country’s third most populous city locat-ed where the Swiss, French and German borders meet. Though not a particularly large city, it is grand in countless ways, not the least of which is its Kunst Museum with the most sig-

nificant public art collection in Switzerland containing works from 1661 up to the 19th and 20th centuries. No sur-prise here. This is, after all, the home of famous ArtBasel. The Christmas markets at Mun-sterplatz and Barfusserplatz in Old Town are considered to be the prettiest and largest in Switzerland, with a towering tree that glows and shimmers at night, casting its spell over the entire square. The wares offered here are of very high quality, and the mulled wine I quaffed was maybe the best of all the ones I sampled (yes, there were many). More in-dulging: warm, sweet waffles smothered in schlag. And why not? It’s the end of the trip and when in Rome – or Vienna – or Basel for that matter…..

Les Trois Rois is Basel’s grand hotel. No, let me amend that. It is one of the grandest

hotels in the whole wide world! The first official record of it dates back to 1681 and some of its past guests includes Napo-leon, Queen Elizabeth II, Picas-so – the list goes on. In fact, one could say that every renowned, celebrated person for more than four centuries has guest-ed here. LesTrois Rois (The Three Kings) enjoys a prime location in the city’s center and directly on the banks of the river Rhine. The day I visited it was decked out in holiday fin-ery with two huge, bedazzling Christmas trees flanking steps to the entrance. The property belongs to the first genera-tion of urban grand hotels and truly exemplifies the pinnacle of le grand Swiss hotel. In the plush lobby/bar, I stopped for a glass of bubbly. What a spar-kling way to end my Uniworld European holiday happening!

Iona Prep Offers Educators the Chance to Hear Holocaust Survivor’s Story

Iona Prepa-ratory invited all Catholic School Administrators, Religious Educa-tion Coordinators, 7th and 8th Grade Teachers and Re-ligious Education Teachers in West-chester County to attend a program with Holocaust survivor and speaker Judy Alt-mann on Thurs-day, Sept. 29, at Iona Prep Upper School, New Ro-chelle.

A l t m a n n shared her ex-perience as a Holocaust survivor with educators as part of the Speakers’ Bureau of the Holocaust & Hu-man Rights Education Center. Educators heard firsthand testimony of a Holocaust survivor, learned how to bring a Holocaust speaker to their own students, and discussed Holocaust education in a moral and ethical context with fellow Catholic educators.

Judy Altmann was born in Jasina, Czechoslovakia, which was invaded by the Nazis in 1939. In 1944, she was arrested and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp and on to Essen and Gelsenkirchen Labour camps, where she remained until March of 1945. From there she was transported to Bergen Belsen concentration camp. In May of 1945, Mrs. Altmann was liberated by the British army and given the opportunity to go to Sweden. She lived in Sweden until 1948, at which time she immigrated to the United States.
