The Pelham Post
From the Village of Pelham Manor Mayor
The Village of Pelham Manor has had a
productive start to the fall season. At our most
recent Board meeting, the Mayor announced
that Trustee Matthew T. McLaughlin will serve
as liaison to the Department of Public Works,
and Trustee A. Michelle DeLillo will focus on
administration, finance, planning, legal and
inter-governmental relations. John T. Pierpont,
speaking in his capacity as Village Treasurer,
reported that the Village’s financial obligations
and income are progressing as expected and
that if the sales tax revenue continues at the
current pace, the Village should meet budget in
that arena.
As part of the Village’s continuing effort
to keep the public informed and increase accessibility, the Mayor reported that Village
Trustees now have official e-mail addresses. They are:
Jennifer Monachino Lapey
mayor@pelhammanor.org
Neal Schwarzfeld

Louis Annunziata
la@pelhammanor.org
Matthew McLaughlin
mm@pelhammanor.org
A. Michelle DeLillo
amd@pelhammanor.org
The Village will also continue to pursue improvements to the website.
At the close of the meeting, the Mayor reported that the Village is still considering
ways to increase the vibrancy and economic vitality of the Four Corners retail district,
while recognizing the historic character of our Village. Specifically, the Board discussed
the possibility of adding zoning language that could allow some type of restaurant service at Four Corners. This exploration comes in conjunction with the Board’s analysis
of the proposal submitted by Pelham resident Gary Rothschild and Bakery at Four Corners proprietor Lisa Daley Neubardt. Mr. Rothschild and Mrs. Neubardt are seeking to
augment the Bakery’s offerings to include a lunch and dinner taco menu and provide
additional seating. Trustees present at the meeting then discussed this plan in more
detail. The discussion, along with an audio recording of the entire meeting, is available
for review on the Village’s website, www.pelhammanor.org. Simply click on the podcast
microphone on the home page.
The trustees and administration are open to input and feedback on all issues, so
please do not hesitate to contact us with comments or concerns, and as always, please
join us at any Village Board meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Jennifer Monachino Lapey
Mayor of Pelham Manor
rial High School students who
studied the feasibility of a teen
space over the summer when
they were PACT’s paid interns.
“Many adults in town
have wrestled with this question over the years, but only
youth can really answer it,”
said PACT Coalition Director
Virginia Hartmere. “That’s why
our summer interns took the
lead on studying what teens
would want in a public space
for their age group and how
feasible it would be to create.
We invite the entire Pelham
community to come and hear
what this group of teens has to
recommend and join together
and take the first step towards
making their vision a reality.”
This past summer’s interns are truly representative
of Pelham teens, with young
men and women from every
grade at PMHS represented.
They worked for five weeks
over the summer, conducting
surveys, brainstorming, and
ultimately developing recommendations for whether – and
how – a teen public space
might work.

Matthew H. Mead Inducted as 15th Rector of
Christ the Redeemer
The Institution of Reverend Matthew Hoxsie Mead as
Rector of the Episcopal Parish of Christ the Redeemer in
Pelham Manor was held on
Tuesday, September 29th. Father Mead, who has been leading the parish since May, was
officially inducted as Rector
during a celebratory evening
worship service led by the Rt.
Rev. Andrew M.L. Dietsche,
Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The Rev.
Terence Elsberry, Rector of St.
Matthew’s Episcopal Church
in Bedford, NY delivered the
sermon.
The parish’s historic 1843
church building was standing
room only for the service. The
Christ Church parish family enthusiastically welcomed
their new Rector and were
joined by many guests, including more than forty visiting
clergy members. The service
was followed by a festive reception in the beautifully restored
parish hall.
“I am honored to serve
as the fifteenth Rector of this
vibrant and historic parish,”
remarked Father Mead. “And
I am thankful for all who
planned for, prepared, and
participated in this wonderful
service. I want to extend my
gratitude to those from the Pelham community, representatives from the other houses of
worship in Pelham, and clergy
and laity from the greater Diocese of New York who joined
us for this celebration. My

Village of Pelham Mayor
Michael Volpe opened the
agenda of the Tuesday, October 6 Regular Board of
Trustees meeting with the
continuation of the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)
Program Public Hearing. “Everyone should know that we
opened this Public Hearing
at the last meeting. We had a
fairly vigorous debate about
the Aggregation Program.
“The Program will allow
us, if we pass a Local Law, for
every household in the community to participate as a
large buyer of energy which
will save money. It was approved by the State, Public
Service Commission and
Sustainable Westchester. We
had a lot of comments about
the substance of the law and
its effect on homeowners,
with some ‘what ifs.’ What
if an energy supplier went
bankrupt?
“We will keep the Public
Hearing open. We think that
we would be better served
to be in the Second or Third
Wave of participants,” Volpe
averred.

Laura was tapped after
an impressive third place finish in a 1 X (Single) at the Head
of the Charles Regatta in 2014.
She was contacted by Masters

composite club, about racing
at the World Rowing Masters
Regatta in Hazewinkel, Belgium, September 10-13.
The Regatta, established
in 1973, is for rowers 27 years

Men and women compete in
age categories ranging from “A”
(27 to 35) to “K” (85 and older).
The event is the largest annual
international regatta, attracting nearly 3500 athletes who,
over four days of racing, filled
over 11,000 seats in the 1,000
meter races.
Laura’s journey began 11 years

age of 49, she
stepped into a racing shell at Pelham

Leading the Way
All-girls education is
more than just separating boys
from girls. It’s about creating
an environment and a mindset where girls discover and
believe they can be whoever
they want to be and achieve
their aspirations.
At an all-girl school, the
girls hold all of the leadership
positions. It seemed right to
ask St. Catharine Academy’s
Student Council and National
Honor Society officers their
thoughts on leadership. After
all, they were elected to their
positions by their peers.
Two words aptly describe
their experience of leadership:
transformation and responsibility.
Transformation: Personal
and Communal
“When I came to SCA,
I was shy,” said Yei Mansuo,
President of the Student Council. “But participation in the
Student Council changed that.
I learned how to be independent, speak my opinions, and
be recognized for my worth.
Being part of a strong leadership group encouraged me to
be more.”
While Yei focused on her
growth in self-confidence, others zeroed in on their capacity
to influence the entire school
in a positive way. Amal Binmahfood views her role as one
which offers her the liberty of
innovating new and creative
ideas which encourage school
spirit. “As Secretary of the
Student Council, I understand
that the job requires dedication, patience, and mindfulness toward the student body
needs. As a student leader I

dogs don’t know
about each other
for if they did there
would be a war in our
neighborhood!
Snowy is a very
kind, gentle pooch
and has no teeth
so he doesn’t bite!
He has never once
barked at a dog! For
all these reasons and
more that is why he is liked and has so many girlfriends!
(And he is cute!!!)
Since Snowy is my dog, he won’t mind me telling you
everything about him!
He came from the south and his original name was
Snow but it sounded too much like no, so we changed it to
Snowy! He is a rescue. When we got him he only had one
tooth because they were pulled out from rotting. Many
months later had to have his last tooth removed.
He came to us with the best gift of all: dancing and love!
Snowy loves to lick and be affectionate! So be aware you have
a licking monster in Pelham!
I hope you enjoyed Snowy’s story. Thanks for reading!
I recommend that you rescue a dog from “pet rescue”

SOOP Theatre makes quick change with production Holiday Luminaries
of “Godspell”
are Coming to Pelham
BY ALYSSA HOLCOMB
Theatre actors and aficionados alike all know that it
is a requirement of the stage to
adapt to any and every change
that may be thrown in. But it is
the way that an adaptation is accepted and incorporated, from
the cast, crew, and creatives
to the performance itself, that
makes all the difference.
The SOOP Theatre Company was billed to take a trip to
Baltimore with a production of
“Hairspray” this fall, but lo and
behold, a few creative decisions
were made and a new production
of “Godspell” was chosen as a replacement show just one day before rehearsals were set to begin.
“‘Godspell’ is something
that has been on SOOP’s radar
for a while,” said Artistic Director Paul Romanello. “While it
wasn’t ‘planned’ for this season,
we’re glad it’s on the menu...but
that’s what I love most about the
theatre - you never know where
it may take you!”
Started in the mid-90s in
the city and moved to the Pelham
area when Romanello and his
wife Michele began raise their
family, SOOP (which stands for
“Seat Of Our Pants”) transformed
into an arena for young actors
to have a taste of professional
acting experience in their own
backyard. The STAR program
(SOOP Theatre Arts Repertory)
offers mainstage productions,
workshops, private lessons and
more for rising performers.
“Godspell” may have been
a last minute choice, but maintaining the show’s original integrity and presentation have been a
main focus throughout rehearsal
and preparation.
“We’re taking a fairly purist
approach to how we tell this story,” said Romanello. “One of my
issues with…productions of this
play is that it’s become essential
to somehow ‘leave your mark’ on
it – ‘who can think of something
new and innovative to do that’s
better than the last one?’ The
piece is definitely designed to
encourage different improvisational ways to tell each parable;
the trap, in my opinion, is letting
it become too much of a comedy
sketch night and losing sight of
the real truth of the play.”
With a group of 14 young
actors casted, all from grades 9
through 12, Romanello hopes audiences will see the universal nature of the production no matter
personal backgrounds or beliefs.
“You will definitely see
some fun, creative bits - many
of which the kids themselves
brought to the table - but my
hope is that the audience will
leave having felt a small jolt to
their spirituality, a sense of uplifting,” said Romanello. “I think
that no matter what your religious background might be, this
story deals with the goodness
that is in all of us...or certainly
can be, and that’s pretty universal to me!”
“Godspell” runs at The
Manor Club Theatre on October 23 at 8PM and October 24 at
3PM. For more information, visit

Five Home Improvement Tips You’ll Fall For
a crack happening at any moment. Even the smallest opening can increase your oil and
electricity bill during the cold
months. Homeowners should
take the opportunity to check
their homes for any issues
and resolve them accordingly.
If the problem goes beyond a
simple repair, your local business offers energy efficient
windows and siding options
that will lower heating bills
while increasing the value of
your home.
Autumn is here,
and with the new season comes a time for
everyone to make some
improvements around
the home. With the
colder weather approaching and leaves
about ready to fall from
the trees, homeowners
can take the opportunity to finalize projects
before the first snow.
Upgrade to a new gutter system.
You’ve all had that
problem: dead leaves
get stuck in your gutters and they become clogged.

cracking, and the worst –
cleaning the gutters out before
it snows in order to avoid them

With the holiday season
approaching, you’re sure to
be a shame for it to be damaged by rain, wind, snow or a
combination of the three. The
answer is for you to install a

models of storm doors, one

home regularly. Some ways
to give the interior of your
home a more seasonal feel
are to replace a lampshade or
two, change the throw on the
back of the sofa, place themed
candles around rather than air
fresheners, or clean out the
fireplace and start a fire. These
methods are sure to impress
your guests and give a whole
new feel to your home that you
don’t have to commit to for an
extended length of time.
Update with a fresh coat of
paint.
Yet, if you’re looking for
an interior project that you’re
ready to live with for a while,
there’s nothing like a fresh coat
of paint to change your look
and your mood. You can get inspiration from anywhere, be it
the color of the leaves, or simply knowing the snow is coming and not wanting to look at
a white landscape both inside
and out. Whether you choose a
classic color or opt to try something new, you’ll be having
fun inside avoiding the chilly
weather, while giving yourself,
and your home, a treat.

gutters, all of these problems
can be easily avoided. Most
companies will offer a no obligation, in-home consultation that help you decide if an

back, in the long run.

Most homeowners take roofs for granted -- until they start to leak. Then they face tough
decisions weighing cost, aesthetively easy to install and inexpensive, but are environmentally unsuitable since after about 20 years they have to go to a landfill. Real wood
shingles (or shakes) are attractive, moderately expensive, but are not fire resistant and
they attract insects. Real slate tiles can be very attractive and last up to 100 years, but
are quite expensive.
Paul Georges, known professionally as Paulie the Roofer, has been fixing roofs in and
around Pelham for over 25 years. His specialty is slate and tile roofs but he can stop
leaks on any roof.
Professional roofers like Paulie are normally licensed by New York State, so that’s one
credential homeowners might check for when comparing contractors. It’s also a good
idea to get a written proposal and to check which neighbors for names of reliable roofers. No Pelham Village permits are needed if the work is limited to repairs.
Please call Paulie at 516-621-3869 for a free estimate. He has local referrals.

er management, which can
be included with all Briggs &
Stratton generators, automatically balances the power needs
of a home’s electrical loads —
including high-wattage items.
Therefore families get uninterrupted, whole-house power
with a smaller — and, thus,
more affordable — standby
generator. For more information about the entire line
of Briggs & Stratton standby
generator systems, visit www.

Look at new lighting.
The lighting in a room has a
significant impact on its over-
If you’re looking for ways
to improve your home but
don’t have the budget for a fullscale renovation, look at upgrades that add instant value
with a smaller investment.
Projects that enhance
existing features or add new
functions to the home are
smart ways to spruce up the
aesthetics and improve livability without breaking the bank.
In between extreme weather
seasons is the perfect time
to tackle home improvement
projects, so this fall consider
some small-scale projects that
can make a big impact on your
home.
Revitalize worn woodwork. Nothing ages a home’s
appearance faster than tired,
weathered woodwork on the
front porch or back deck.
These structures are typically
major focal points of a home’s
exterior, so sprucing them up
can go a long way toward trans-
forming the overall aesthetic.
A fresh coat of stain or paint is
a minimal investment to bring
fresh life back into your entryway or backyard living space.
Pull out a new kitchen
look. If changing out the cabinets isn’t an option, you can
still create a new look with a
minimal investment. Wipe
down cabinets thoroughly and
apply a coat of paint to make
them look their very best, then
look for subtle changes that
bring a wow factor, such as
new hardware. Simply changing out dated pulls for a more
contemporary look in a new
color can bring a new mood to
the room. Clear away clutter
and add some fresh accessories for a whole new look.
Punch up the power. Adding function can be as valuable
as aesthetics when it comes
to enjoying your home to the
fullest. When bad weather or
other factors interrupt your
power supply, a standby generator lets you run appliances
such as air conditioners, heaters, refrigerators, clothes
washers/dryers, lights and
electronics, minimizing the inconvenience of a power outage.
For extended outages, a generator can even save money,
preventing unexpected costs
from spoiled food or hotel
stays. Hooked up to a home’s
existing propane or natural gas
line, a standby generator system, oftentimes called a home
generator, switches on by itself when power fails. Models
such as Briggs & Stratton’s
newly redesigned 12 kilowatt
standby generator provide
whole-house power in a small
footprint that maintains curb
appeal. Plus, the price point
of standby generator systems
is continuing to drop because
power management systems
like Symphony® II continue to
get smarter. Symphony II pow-
all feel: a bright, airy room
exudes energy while a dimmer, soft illumination evokes
a cozy impression. Changing
up the lighting can completely
transform a space. Use window
treatments such as drapes and
blinds to control natural light
and lend a stylish addition
to the room. Floor and table
lamps are ideal for more subtle
task lighting, while overhead
fixtures can make a stronger
statement.
Explore a new floor. Over
time, the rich pile of new carpeting loses its inviting spring,

flooring looking drab, it may
be time to explore alternatives.
Replacing heavily worn carpet in high traffic areas with a
more durable option such as
wood or tile may not only improve the look, but also prove
a smart investment as it wears
better in the future. If you still
enjoy the look of your tile, consider removing and replacing
the grout, then sealing it to
protect the finish. Don’t feel

whole new color dimension to

Making updates to your
home is a natural part of
ownership and a good way to
protect and grow your investment. Fortunately, making a
big difference doesn’t always
have to come with a big price
tag attached.
Before embarking on a
home improvement project,
there are several steps a homeowner can take to manage
the time and expense while
making the effort run more
smoothly:
1. Regardless of the type
of project you’re planning, research the possibilities before
you get started. From compar-
ing prices to evaluating styles
and features, knowing all your
available options will help ensure you make right choices
for your needs.
2. When evaluating appliances or equipment, pay attention to variables that may
affect the overall project cost.
For example, installing a generator with a power management system like Symphony®
II from Briggs & Stratton, can
help meet your home’s backup
power requirements with a
smaller, more affordable generator. This can potentially
knock hundreds if not thousands of dollars off a generator
purchase with a little research
ahead of time to find the right-
size generator needed for a
home. An online calculator
tool at www.powernow.com
can help match homeowners
with the best generator for
their individual needs.
3. Determine a budget,
and stick to it. Be realistic and
remember that a little more
investment upfront may buy
quality that will save money
on repairs and replacements
down the road. Another good
rule of thumb: add at least 10
percent buffer to help cover
unexpected expenses.
4. Assess whether the
project is something you
can tackle on your own, and
whether time or ability may
impede your progress. If you
need to enlist help, gather estimates and check references
for at least three contractors.
5. Set expectations for
yourself and your family about
how long the project will take.
If you’re working with a contractor, get a time projection
in writing, as well as a written
agreement about what happens if the project runs past
deadline.

Lawn Care Tips to Keep Your Yard Healthy This Fall
A beautiful lawn can be
the foundation to a happy,
healthier life and lead to
spending more time outdoors.
In fact, 86 percent of Americans consider their lawn important to their home and life.
“A healthy lawn encourages you to live life outside
more with your family, friends
and neighbors,” said Dr. Kirk
Hurto, Chief Science Officer,
TruGreen. “There’s no time
like late summer and early fall
to start preparing your yard for
those spring and summertime
outdoor gatherings.”
deeper and more root growth
and thatch management. Long
term, your lawn will respond
quicker to fertilizer and water
runoff will be reduced when irrigating.
Overseeding
When it comes to increasing lawn thickness and
health, overseeding can be essential. It can help discourage
future weeds while also aiding
recovery from summer heat,
disease and insect activity.
Seeding during late summer
or early fall will give grass the
maximum time to
develop a deep extensive root system
and mature before
the onset of winter
stresses. Aeration is
recommended when
overseeding to give
seeds more soil contact and provide a
moist, protected environment required
for germination.
While a recent survey conducted by TruGreen
showed that seven out of 10
Americans believe themselves
to be knowledgeable about the
health of their yard, the lawn
care experts at TruGreen offer
these helpful reminders to get
your yard ready for fall:
Feeding
Fall
feeding
gives your landscape the nutrients
needed to prepare
for a healthy, green
spring revival. Hiring a trained
specialist with a plan customized to your region will help
trees and shrubs thrive. If you
fertilize your own lawn, make
sure to follow the product directions and sweep all fertilizer that may reach pavement
back onto your lawn.
Aerating
Aeration involves removal
of soil cores to improve water
and air movement in compacted soils, and aids in promoting
Maintaining Health and
Appearance
Throughout the fall, there
are things you can do to maintain your yard’s appearance
and health, Remove fallen
tree leaves and debris from
your lawn. Studies have shown
mulching tree leaves back into
your lawn effectively clears
away tree leaf debris that otherwise can become matted and
damage your lawn over the
winter. Lowering the mower
height by one or two settings
the last couple mowings before winter reduces grass diseases associated with snow.
Avoid walking on frost-covered
lawns as doing so may cause
brown footprints to appear
later that can remain visible
until spring. Clean and edge
landscape beds, leaving no
more than 2-3 inches of mulch
in the beds.
Pruning
Pruning is an essential
maintenance practice for trees
and shrubs. Landscapes can
quickly become overgrown if
not cared for, but yearly pruning
will maintain trees and shrubs to
an ideal size and shape. Remove
dead or damaged branches from
trees and shrubs to prevent rot
organisms from invading the
trunk and stems of plants.

‘Picnic In the Park’ receives rave reviews with special screening of
Mississippi Grind and actor Ryan Reynolds
Over 300 guests came to
say good-bye to summer and
support The Picture House
(TPH) at the fourth annual,
highly-popular Picnic in the
Park on September 19th. The
much anticipated event—
which was sold-out for the second year in a row—took place
at The Picture House’s renovated, historic theater, and across
the street in a beautifully-designed tent.
The night kicked-off with
cocktails, popcorn, and an advance screening of the much
buzzed about new film, Mississippi Grind, followed by an
exclusive Q&A with the star of
the film, Ryan Reynolds. After
the film, guests enjoyed a gourmet picnic dinner provided by
Alvin & Friends, featuring the
restaurant’s signature fried
chicken, plus dessert from Pelham’s Provisions Bake Shop,
followed by dancing under
the stars and an exciting live
auction. The evening’s sponsors included Producer Level
Sponsors Owen R. Berkowitz
of Douglas Elliman Westchester Real Estate and Meridian
Risk Management/Joan Solimine Real Estate and Director
Level Sponsor McClellan Sotheby’s International Realty.
Bronx Brewery and Captain

were once again the Picnic in

The Picture House enjoys ongoing support from the
state and county through New
York State Council on the Arts
(NYSCA) and ArtsWestchester.
Representative Amy Paulin
and County Legislator James
Maisano were on-hand to lend
their support and State Senator Jeffrey Klein spoke before

“We’re extremely grateful
to everyone on the Committee
and all of our guests—including Ryan Reynolds—for coming out and showing their support of one of Westchester’s
cultural resources,” said Laura

and President of The Picture
House. “We strive to provide
programming and education
offerings for all of Westchester’s diverse communities at
The Picture House. That’s an
expensive proposition! Half
of our programs are funded
through earned income like
concessions and ticket sales
with the balance depending
on grants, membership, and
fundraisers like Picnic in the
Park. The proceeds from Saturday night will keep terrific
content on our screens and in
classrooms across Westchester, furthering our mission
and ensuring our continued
growth as an essential arts and
culture resource.”
The 2015 Picnic in the

co-chaired by Picture House
Board member Kelly Brown
and Renee Gallagher and included Jennifer Anderson,

Rotary Club of the Pelhams sponsored life-saving CPR Course
Since 1947, with “Service
Above Self” as their mission,
the Rotary Club of the Pelhams
has been providing programs,
projects and events that continue to enhance the lives of individual and families throughout our community. Such was
the case on Saturday September 26 from 8:30am to noon at
the Daronco Town House, as
the organization sponsored a
life-saving CPR Course, taught
by expert instructors from the
Empress Emergency Services.
Thirty-seven people, ranging
from ages 15 to 75, participated
in this important class for free.
According to Bob Rendon, President of the Pelham
Rotary, “This was a huge success. People kept coming up
to us, and thanking us for this
opportunity. We feel it’s important that the community
remains proactive and diligent
in keeping our families and
ourselves healthy. What better
way to educate than by providing a life-saving CPR Course…
for free!”
Three expert CPR trainers provided the necessary
skills in CPR procedures to be
used on adults, children and
even infants. Plus, there was
instruction on assisting choking victims, and also how to
use Automated External Defibrillators. All attendees suc-
cessfully concluded the course
and will receive a CPR Certification. Rotary Board Member
and Past President Betty Bucher added, “It’s very comforting to know that we now have
37 more people in our community who can help save peoples’
lives. Many thanks go to fellow
Pelham Rotary Board Member
and Past President Dr. Kevin
Falvey for spearheading this
event!”
Save the Date…On Sunday
October 18th from 4 to 7pm at
the Pelham Country Club, The
Pelham Rotary will hold its
annual Tastings Fundraiser
to benefit children in need.
It’s a fun event that includes
plenty of food, wine
and music… all for
a tremendous cause.
This year’s honorees
will be the DeCicco
Family of DeCicco
& Sons Family Markets for their continued support of children and students
in our community.
Honorary Chairman
of the event is Pelham Detective John
Hynes. For more

topics.
Thomas P. Kennedy, CPA,
Partner and Yulia Kelly, Senior

presented an Audited Financial Statement for Fiscal Year
2014-15. “Fund Level Financial
Statements include the General Fund and Capital Projects,”

The Final Budget was
$13,397,486; Actual Budget,

Volpe concluded that the
Village was in excellent financial shape, with a Standard and

Attention then turned to
a Public Hearing Amending

Mexican flair to dishes such as the one Chef Reynaldo prepared
for us -- Salmon Al Patron.
Infusion is well know for their “small bites” and their perfectly “stuffed” burgers that are a must to try. Alex brought Chef
Reynaldo to the Infusion team and they are developing great new
tastes.
Try this creamy and fresh dish that is sure to please. A great
wine pairing for this salmon dish comes straight from Alex’s extensive wine background. He recommends to wonderful bottle

a hint of lime that matches perfectly with the entire dish. Enjoy!

Add raw Salmon to heated pan, cook for 5 -6 minutes.

Tribute to Jazz Great
Strayhorn Kicks Off ArtsFest
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
A tribute to the late, great
jazz composer/arranger Billy
Strayhorn’s Centennial kicked
off the 2015 New Rochelle/Pelham ArtsFest on September
25 with a poignant documentary by Director Richard Levi,
Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life at
the Linda Kelly Theater, New
Rochelle High School, spearheaded by Strayhorn’s niece
Leslie Demus, President of the
Billy Strayhorn Foundation.
Strayhorn was responsible for such classics as Take
the “A” Train and Lush Life.
Strayhorn courageously
involved himself in the early
1960’s civil rights movement,
working with Lena Horne and
as a fundraiser and confidante
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strayhorn passed away on
May 31, 1967 at the age of 51.
After the program, New
Rochelle High School Principal Reginald Richardson
connected the film to the “My
Brother’s Keeper” initiative
saying, “In terms of works like
this, the idea is that if some
of these students understood
and knew what has happened
before it would be something
inspirational for them to know
that they can create and aspire,
from having this film in front
of them,” Richardson noted.
Asked how Alvin and
Friends Restaurant came to
pay tribute to the Strayhorn
Lynn Honeysett at the Pelham Art Center
Centennial with the Paul Carlon “La Rumba is a Lonesome
Thing” Combo, proprietor Alvin Clayton replied, “Believe or
not Billy Strayhorn’s niece Leslie Demus came into the restaurant and informed me that
it was going to be Strayhorn’s
100th birthday several months
ago and they had celebrations
all around the globe about this
amazing composer and writer.
The ArtsFest continued
on September 26 and 27 with
a classic car show; Fourth Annual Lincoln Avenue Arts and
Culture Fest: Kidzart with spin
art, chalk art, face painting,
DJ and tours of the sustainable/organic legacy garden
at “grow! Lincoln Park Community Garden;” Legos at the
Huguenot Children’s Library
and the ever-popular 3-D Art
of Charles Fazzino.
Artist Patrick Bancel
explained that his nickname
“Billboard Hacker” was derived from the fact that he uses
space on building walls where
there is usually advertising
to promote action against climate change, his murals are
sponsored by Nissan and New
Rochelle Council of the Arts.
ArtsFest culminated with
a Swing Dance Party on Library Green on September 27,
featuring live music by Glenn
Crytzer’s New Yorkers and
dance demonstrations by the
Rhythm Stompers.

her husband, who works for
the United Nations. Upon arriving in Cairo, however, she
finds he’s stuck in Gaza, and he
sends his former bodyguard,
Tareq (Alexander Siddig) —
now relocated back in Cairo
to work at his family business
— to act as her guide around
the city. Soon Juliette finds
herself captivated by both the
city and her companion. One
of Clarkson’s favorite films, she
has chosen it to bring to The
Picture House She’ll discuss
the film and her career with

of April brought her nominations for Golden Globe, Screen
Actors Guild, Broadcast Film
Critics Association, Independent Spirit, and Academy
Awards. The National Board
of Review and the National Society of Film Critics cited her
as that year’s Best Supporting
Patricia Clarkson
Actress for her work in both
Pieces of April and Thomas
McCarthy’s The Station Agent.
Her work in the two films,
along with her portrayal in David Gordon Green’s All the Real
Girls, additionally earned her
the 2003 Sundance Film Festival’s Jury Prize for Outstanding Performance.
Clarkson’s other film
credits include: Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island; Woody
Allen’s Whatever Works and
Vicky Cristina Barcelona;
Blind Date, opposite director Stanley Tucci; Isabel
Coixet’s Elegy; All the King’s
Men; Lars and the Real Girl;
George Clooney’s Good Night,

Deauville Festival of American Cinema’s award for Best
Female Performance; Sean
Penn’s The Pledge; Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile, for

Cholodenko’s High Art, for
which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Supporting
Actress; Joe Johnston’s Jumanji; Daniel Petrie’s Rocket
Gibraltar; and Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables.
