Street naming evokes egg cream dreams BY BOB KAPPSTATTER And their egg creams were to die for.... We’re talking about Ben and Dotty Abrams, whose Holland Avenue neighborhood luncheonette was famous for those fizzy chocolate ambrosias, as well as THE neighborhood hangout. They also happened to raise a son named Robert, who became Bronx borough president and then state attorney general. Now the long deceased couple will be remembered with a local street being renamed in their honor. Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed into law on Tuesday, Oct. 2, legislation unanimously passed by the City Council re-naming the intersections of Holland, Antin and Bronxdale avenues “Ben and Dotty Abrams Way.” The honor came at the request of Councilman Jimmy Vacca for the couple’s more than 60 years of community service (and great egg creams, maybe?) in the Pelham Parkway South neighborhood. Ben Abrams, who died

in 1984, spent many years as an active member of the Hubert H. Humphrey Democratic Club, the Pelham Parkway Jewish Council and B’nai B’rith, as well as a volunteer at Our Lady of Mercy Hospital, according to Vacca. He also engaged in an active petition drive that helped secure new benches along Pelham Parkway and Bronx Park East, among other things, Vacca added. Dotty, who passed away in 2003, was a member of the Ruth Kizon Group for Handicapped Children, selling raffle tickets and attending annual luncheons to help raise funds to provide support for children afflicted by disease and physical handicaps. She was also an active member of the Pelham Parkway Cancer Society raising money for programs. And from morning to night for more than 20 years, Vacca said the couple also operated one of the most beloved neighborhood luncheonettes and candy stores at 2000 Holland Avenue. “Ben and Dotty Abrams were staples in the Pelham

Parkway South community for many years,” Vacca said. “I met them both in the 1970’s and I knew from the start how much they loved their community. They represent a piece of history that I wanted to preserve for this community.” “My Mom and Dad, who were beloved in the community, worked very hard in their neighborhood luncheonette to provide for the family,” said Robert Abrams, now an attorney with a private law firm. “The “store” as we called it, was also an institutional base where neighbors would gather to eat, meet and talk about neighborhood and national issues. Abrams also recalled how he was taught to work the soda fountain, “constructing” those famous egg creams, with neither egg nor cream in them. “It’s a classic American story of working class families laboring hard to provide a better life for their children. My family extends deep appreciation to Councilman James Vacca who worked diligently to make this happen.”

Riviera Ravioli honored with Citizen Award Bronx Columbus Day Committee awards retailer for neighborhood involvement BY DAVID CRUZ Joseph Giordano is shy when it comes to speeches. “I’m a terrible public speaker,” he admitted. But he’s front and center at civic meetings and always at the ready for donating his wellknown Italian food from his store Riviera Ravioli, a Morris Park staple for decades. It’s his efforts in being a good neighbor that brought him at the forefront to accept the Citizen Award during the Bronx Columbus Day Dinner Dance on Sunday, September 30, a week before the second biggest Columbus Day Parade in the state marches along Morris Park Avenue. “I was flattered,” said Giordano, 76. “Obviously it might be a good for my business.” Rooted in Morris Park since 1946, Riviera Ravioli at 643 Morris Park Avenue first opened as a deli, selling cold cuts and other meats. It morphed into a pasta distributor, selling a variety of highend pastas ranging from tortellini, cavatelli, manicotti, fettuccini

and, of course, ravioli. His award is a first for Giordano, who spends hours at the businessre, serving a client base ranging from gourmet food stores to restaurants and hotels. But his Italian enterprise is not the only thing Giordano is known for. A proud member of the community for decades, longtime merchants know Giordano as the store owner who schlepped up and down the avenue for donations to the annual Morris Park Christmas lights. Like today, the process has been a struggle, according to Giordano. “It was like pulling teeth.” What’s easier and fulfilling these days is Giordano’s philanthrophy, offering his homemade food free of charge to area churches, including St. Claire’s and St. Dominics. “I usually give food to the church when the nuns are having guests,” he said. Giordano also boasts a proud Italian heritage. A first generation American, Giordano keeps

Joseph Giordano picks up the Citizen Award during the Bronx Columbus Day Dinner Dance awarded to him by lead parade organizer Tony Signorile (r). Italy in his heart, visiting his parents’ homeland on seven occasions. He actively brushes up on his Italian, a language he thinks is eroding from the Italian-American landscape. “The language is disappearing,” he said. “It’s being taken out

as a language requirement.” Tony Signorile, who heads the parade, summed up Giordano’s drive best: “He does a lot for the community,” said Signorile. “He’s always there.” This year’s parade steps off

at noon at White Plains Road, making its way up Morris Park Avenue, and turning left at the reviewing stand at Williamsbridge Road. Reach reporter David Cruz at 718-742-3383 or [email protected].

Blue waters at NYBG BY DAVID CRUZ The city Park’s Department may have the greenway. But the Department of Environmental Protection has the Bluebelt. And it’s here in the Bronx. DEP officials announced the completion of the borough’s first Bluebelt on Thursday, September 27. It rests on the property of The New York Botanical Garden. Bluebelt gets its name from the DEP’s objective in keeping blue waters clean. The new system diverts rainwater into a water-purifying wetland to help control flooding and pollution, according to DEP officials. “This Bluebelt system is able to handle 350,000 gallons in one hour,” noted Commissioner Carter Strickland. For decades, drivers near NYBG often zigzagged past a portion of Southern Boulevard after heavy downpours turned the artery into a small lake. Southern Boulevard rests on a “combined sewage

near the garden’s Twin Lakes. There a mix of “bottles, paper, debris” would often be spotted, said Community Board 7 District Manager Fernando Tirado. Officials with the DEP saw that section as a perfect place to try out its Bluebelt, reaching out to NYBG to install the conduit. “The drive on Southern Boulevard is a nicer drive than ever,” said the garden’s CEO, Gregory Long. Starting in Februrary, DEP spent $600,000 on the project. Construction crews first installed four catch basins on both sides of the flood-prone road to discharge water towards a recently planted wetland at Twin Lakes. Clean water would slowly seep into Upper Twin Lake, eventually flowing into the Bronx River and New York Harbor. Officials are now looking at Van Cortlandt Park as the next spot for the Bluebelt project.

and Fr. Principe, faculty members; Fr. Arlotta, and Fr. Grippo, graduates of Cardinal Spellman High School. Deacon of the Mass was James Bello. In his homily, Cardinal Dolan thanked Cardinal Spellman High school for all it does for both the Archdiocese of New York and the surrounding community in the Bronx. The Cardinal saluted the students and acknowledged the great repu-

tation they have in a variety of areas, including the four “R’s” – Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Religion. He also brought to their attention that they would be held accountable not for the things they have or the titles they earn, but for whether they have had faith and lived as Jesus has asked them to do; and whether they have treated all people with love, dignity, and respect. These

are the things one must do, said the Cardinal, to get to heaven. Immediately following the Mass, in the presence of the Cardinal, the new Student Body President, Lianna Ferrantino, and Vice President, Matilda Owuo, were administered the oath of office by Mr. Daniel O’Keefe, Principal of Cardinal Spellman. Each year the President and Vice President,

together with the Executive Committee of Student Government, organize and coordinate various school-wide events and activities such as International Culture Day, Candy-Grams, Give a Gift at Christmas time for children in the community, Teacher Appreciation Day, school dances, and many other activities. After the Mass and Induction of the Student

Government Officers, the Cardinal toured the school and spoke with many of the students. He posed for pictures with the newly installed Student Government in the school courtyard. The students commented on the kindness, congeniality, and warmth of the Cardinal. For the entire Spellman community it was a wonderful day that all will remember.

Westchester-Bronx OBGYN Group over 40 years experience There has been much publicity on TV and in the press regarding changing the time-honored practice of yearly Pap testing for women. Pap testing, which was devised over 50 years ago and has dramatically decreased the numbers of women with cervical cancer, is a quick, simple test done in the office by a gynecologist. The doctors and physician assistants at the Westchester-Bronx OBGYN Group have been providing Pap testing and other OB and GYN services for over 40 years in the Bronx. Over the last few years, medical technology has been able to identify a

virus, called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is the cause of abnormal cells on the cervix, and cervical cancer. HPV testing is done from the Pap test, not from a blood test or urine test. So, a patient still needs to see their gynecologist. The question is, how often, and when should a young woman start seeing their gynecologist. “We used to tell all young women to see a GYN doctor for a Pap test starting at age 18,” according to Denis T. Sconzo, MD, one of the doctors and partners at the Westchester-Bronx OBGYN Group. “Now the recommendations are to

start at age 21, but sooner if the patient is sexually active.” “For older women, Pap testing can sometimes be done every 2 or 3 years, “ states Daniel Miller, MD, another partner in the Group, “but women still must come in for an annual pelvic and breast exam.” Regina Fitzgerald, MD, another partner and doctor in the Group, reminds all that “Most women only go to their OBGYN doctor for medical checkups, like blood pressure testing, so the yearly exam is still very important, even if a Pap test is not due.” The WestchesterBronx OB/GYN Group provides a full range of OB

and GYN services in a primary care and specialty setting, in their brand-new office suite at the Hutchinson MetroCenter, 1250 Waters Place, the Bronx. “We have been providing quality care for thousands of Bronx women for many years at our old location on Pelham Parkway, but a new space was greatly needed,” according to Dr. Sconzo. “We now have a state-of-the-art facility with plentiful parking.” More information about the practice and services of the WestchesterBronx OB/GYN Group can be found at its web site, www.wbobgyn.org, or by calling (718) 409-5454.

Hostos awarded $1M CUNY’s Hostos Community College has been awarded more than $1 million in federal grants for their innovative science education programs. Congressman José Serrano said the funding, awarded by the National Science Foundation, will support two distinguished programs. One is entitled “Project SEED (STEM Educators Expansion Directive) for Candidates in Chemistry and Environmental Science,” and the other is “Designing Futures With Games: Game-Framed Mathematics and Science as a Pathway to Multimedia Technology Careers.” “The innovative educational activities that Hostos is undertaking with these two programs are truly worthy of federal support,” said Serrano. “I can think of no better use of our tax

dollars than to expand opportunities in technology and the sciences for students at Hostos. “Our nation is far too often running behind other nations in these areas, and I believe it is because we do not focus on the vast talent and untapped potential in places like the Bronx. Latinos and African-Americans continue to be underrepresented in the STEM fields, but Hostos is making significant progress in helping link Bronx residents, and those living elsewhere in the City, with careers in technology and the sciences.” he said. Hostos president Félix Matos Rodríguez said the grant “validates the quality and depth of our faculty, particularly for STEM and reiterates the commitment Hostos has in helping to improve educational outcomes in Bronx K-12 schools.”

for which he provided funding. The program will empower parents as they interact with teachers and policy makers, said Diaz, who provided funding for the cendter. He was joined by Mercy College president Kimberly Cline, who called the center “a culmination of a dream.” School of Education dean Alfred Posamentier called it an example “for the rest of the region to follow, since we strongly believe that parents are the most neglected part of the ‘education equation.’” The center will offer parents monthy workshops on topics including managing problem behavior, strategies to support special needs kids, helping with math, read-aloud strategies, parent leadership, and hands-on technology. It will so free of much educational jargon, said program director Aramina Vega Ferrer. “We are going to talk plainly to parents, but we are going to engage them in strategies that teachers use in the

classroom - we are bringing those strageies to them,” said Ferrer. “We are going to model them, have them practice it, and then we are going to observe them doing some of these things with their own children.” The program’s seminars and study groups will be focusing on three C’s - consistant, coherent, and comprehensive, said Ferrer. Parents attending the opening of the center seemed enthusiastic and ready to get started. Nordia Haughton, 37, from Fordham, said she went to school in another country and wants to help help her two children using methods they will be familiar with from their school - P.S. 54. For Adriana Trujuillo, whose son, Erik Vera, 10, attends P.S. 205, it is the idea of being a help to him go further with his education. “It helps,” she said, “because you understand what he is doing in school, and what is happening in his education, in order to help him.”

Halloween fun on hand across the

Boo-ronx

www.bxtimes.com

BY KIRSTEN SANCHEZ Ghosts, goons and goblins — oh my! With Halloween just around the corner, it’s scary how many ghoulish events are taking place all over the borough. Whether you’re brave enough to go on a haunted tour, or creative enough to craft a fancy pumpkin you’ve plucked from one of the city’s patches, the options will bewitch you. For the bravest spirits, take a trip to the Bronx Haunted Warehouse. Perfectly situated in the Bronx, at 157 Commerce Avenue, the haunted warehouse is the biggest, scariest, and most dynamic version of a classic zombie haunted house. With multiple new rooms, added scares and effects, the haunted house promises to provide plenty of screams as zombies chase visitors from every angle and surprise them in the most unexpected places. The warehouse will be open beginning October 5 and run through October 31. Check it out at www. hauntedhousebronx.com. Not so brave? There are still plenty of other fun, festive family-friendly activities to get in the Halloween spirit. The Haunted Pumpkin Garden at the New York Botanical Garden will treat visitors to frightful Halloween fun from Saturday, October 6, through Wednesday, October 31. Experience the thrills

and chills of the season with a garden full of intricately carved pumpkin sculptures, bugs, bats, parties, and parades. On Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21, master carver Ray Villafane of Food Network fame will transform pumpkins into zombies and other unearthly creatures. Pumpkin sculptures of spooky scarecrows, frightening spiders, sneaky snakes, and more await discovery at every turn in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. Youngsters can play daily inside a “gourd-geous” Pumpkin House, put on a scary show at the Pumpkin Puppet Theater, learn about owls, and join a Halloween Parade, while every weekend offers even more treats. The display includes more than 500 intricately hand-carved pumpkin sculptures. On select weekends, creepy nighttime trails through the Children’s Adventure Garden will be lit and include spooktacular delights. This Columbus Day weekend, October 6, 7 and 8, from noon to 5:30 p.m., enjoy whimsical costumed performers, live music, spooky story readings, pumpkin parades, and more. Come face-to-face with the largest bat in the world, the Gigantic Flying Fox of Malaysia, and more batty fun. Samples will be provided by Whole Food Market and performances of Little People Live on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.,

and Sunday at 10:15 a.m., including meet and greets with favorite characters. Check it out at www. nybg.org. Looking to do something that your little witches and wizards will enjoy? Boo at the Zoo offers dozens of activities perfect for kids. Now running through October 28, the zoo has planned five weeks of activities that will embrace the spirit of the holiday while highlighting wildlife and conservation. Families are invited to take a haunted walk through adventure, visit the Haunting at Habitat Mansion, and take a spooky hayride through Creepy Hollows. Children will enjoy magic shows, musical performances, and costume parades, in addition to a hay maze, an extinction graveyard and seasonal craft workshops. Children 12 and under wearing a Halloween costume will receive free general admission with one paid adult general admission. All of the Boo at the Zoo activities are included with the price of general admission, with the exception of the hayride and the haunted mansion. Go to www.bronxzoo. com. The grand finale of the Bronx Halloween events will be the annual Throggs Neck Halloween Parade sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Benedetto on Saturday, October 28, from noon until 4 p.m.

SENIORS AND

HOARDING ELDERCARE TODAY

TOO MUCH STUFF Why seniors hoard, and what to do about it BY JOANNA LEEFER

W

e have all heard about or seen the TV programs — “Hoarders” and “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” In every show, cleaning crews are called in to excavate the residents from homes stacked from f loor to ceiling with piles of papers, stacks of unwashed dishes, and more. Most of us watch these shows with our faces scrunched up and say “Ewww!” But, studies show that hoarding is a growing problem that is not confined to people of any certain age group or income level. Sometimes, circumstance can cause people to become hoarders — and many seniors fall victim to this behavior. Hoarding is even a greater concern in areas like New York City where many seniors live in small apartments in highly populated areas.

When their homes become so packed with “stuff” and infested with rodents or insects, it then becomes a serious health and fire hazard not only to them, but those around them. Here are some reasons why seniors are prone to hoarding:

Collecting memories As we age, we gather years of memories, and for many people this includes collecting items associated with these memories, such as family heirlooms, family photos, souvenirs from trips, childhood items, children’s belongings, books, and magazines or newspapers put aside to read or reread later. This might not be a problem if you have enough room to store it, but when items overwhelm a space, it can become impossible for a senior with failing eyesight, slowed ref lexes, or unsteady

gait to get around. The home becomes an obstacle course with falls and injuries waiting to happen.

Mental handicaps People in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairment might unwittingly begin to hoard. As their memory fails, they have trouble making minor decisions, such as deciding what is important and what is not. This is an overwhelming thought to them, so they tend to put all their mail aside so they can go through it later. It doesn’t take long for this to pile up. My family became aware of my mother’s memory decline related to Alzheimer’s disease when my husband, son, and I drove down to her home in New Jersey to visit.

Fine Fare Supermarket

Ice House Cafe

Community Board 10

Sanitation Salvage Corp.

When the owners of Fine Fair, Miguel and Jose Luna took over the property, they transformed it from a dirty, neglected space to one that was bright, and clean, making it a welcoming place for the community to shop. They later went on to give the exterior a facelift, and replace the entirefloor with ceramic tiles, giving the building a modern, streamlined look. More recently, They have installed pavers along the length of the building, giving the property the look and feel of the upscale market we want and need in Throggs Neck. All in all, the owners of Fine Fair have shown their dedication to the store, and a commitment to the community by operating an establishment that is clean, well-staffed, and caters to needs of the shoppers. Fine Fair Supermarket gives consumers cause to patronize their neighborhood businesses.

Terry Dambinskas was born on Long Island and lived there until she married in 1981. In 2004 along with her husband Justin she took over the Hammonds Cove Marina. As time went on and the marina grew so did the Icehouse Café which started as a small trailer and has expanded into a restaurant . The restaurant has a select menu that changes biweekly with seasonal specials that showcase Mediterranean cuisine with an Italian flavor with an emphasis on seafood. The Icehouse has won several culinary awards including three wing championships as well as the best Manhattan clam chowder award at Maritime College. They were also named Best Wings in the Bronx by Daily News. Terry participates in numerous local events as well as donating to various charities in the community

Cardinal Spellman H S, and Lehman College with a BA in Business & Economics and a minor in English. Career in private industry for many years as Director of Operations for major national clothing and bedding manufacturers. Working at Bronx Community Board #10 for the past 5 years in the capacity of Constituent and Business Liaison. Concerned with animal welfare and has always been involved in rescue work around the community. Enjoys reading, country music, and old movies.

In 1984, Squitieri and his cousin Joseph Gallito opened a small cab company. They operated out of a trailer on Bronxdale Ave., and stored their handful of cars in a gas station parking lot overnight. He spent every day developing both Sanitation Salvage Corp. and Citicar, dividing his time between each company, and establishing a reputation for service and competitiveness in each industry. Now, more than 20 years later, he still works at both companies each day. The companies that grew out of Citicar are multimillion dollar corporations, recognized as industry leaders, and models of quality and service excellence. Sanitation Salvage Corp. is a leading waste hauler in New York, serving over 8,000 customers daily, earning tens of millions of dollars annually. Steven and his cousin Joseph, and brothers John and Andrew still can be found at their Bronx offices each day, operating their businesses in a hands-on, old fashioned way. Their companies employ hundreds of Bronxites.

BY PAUL GOLLUSCIO Hello all! Well I discovered a new computer glitch. That’s why there has been no column for the past two weeks. Hopefully it won’t happen again. Mickey Martens, if you are reading this, please contact Tom Hanson, he hasn’t seen or heard you and is worried. Please ally his fears and give him a call. We here at the Post wish to extend our sympathies and condolences to the family of Vince Palazzo, a long time active member here. Vince was a member of the Brown Air Force during WWII. to you un-informed, that was the Army Air Corps. Because of the above mentioned glitch, a belated congratulation to Laura Guerriero who has been el-

evated to publisher of this newspaper, replacing John Collazzi, it’s founder. Way back in the middle of September, I was Father Of The Bride, my middle daughter, Rosemarie Franchini married Pat Saita at the Ceola Manor in Jefferson Valley. The wedding was all over Facebook by the time I got home. The Montgomery GI Bill will increase 6% effective October 1, 2012. It’s now worth $56,304, so find schools with VA- approved programs. Click on www.

military.com for more info. Trivia Time!! The City of Shamut became Boston on September 16, 16239. The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. The U.S. Air Force was created on September 18, 1947. (See above.) The last game at the Polo Grounds was played on September 18, 1963. No, I don’t know who played or won. I’m sure I’ll have the info in time for next weeks column. (Are you listening, Triviologist?) Benedict Arnold betrayed the Revolutionary troops on September 21, 1780. Keep the troops in your prayers, hug a vet and God bless.

The speakers scheduled for our next meeting, Tuesday, October 30, at 7:30 at the Villa Barone Manor, are Chrys Napolitano of the Locust Point Civis Association who will talk about Composting and, hopefully, Captain McGeown, the new commander of the 45th Precinct. I will firm that up this week. On Sunday, October 28, at noon to 3 p.m., the Locust Point Civic Association will hold a Zumba “Party in Pink” for Breast Cancer.The event is free an donations are suggested. Call or text Janet if you will be attending at (917) 353-8001. We are joining with other community associations to “man and woman” the streets during the Veterans Day Parade this year. Each community association will be assigned a particular block along the route and members will stand there to view the parade. You will hear more from us on this in the coming

weeks. I am sure you read the Daily News article on methan gas leakage at the Ferry Point Golf Course and I will be attending a meeting organized by Councilman Jimmy Vacca prior to the publication of this paper. I will let you know more in next week’s column....to be continued! What we thought might be a happy ending to this long, drawn out saga, might only be a bad dream. On Tuesday, October 9, from 6 to 7 p.m., there will be a Town Hall meeting with Chancellor Dennis Walcott at P.S. 14 Auditorium. There will be an opportunity for questions from the public. The Chancellor is slated to discuss student achievement, school finances and the city’s goals and priorities. Senator Jeff Klein will hold a Senior Appreciation Day at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford. Those attending will have to sign up for a raffle and 1000 winners will be chosen. To sign up call, 1-800-718-2039. If you want to adopt a pet, the Locust Point Civic Association is holding an Adoption Day at 3300 Tierney Place on Saturday, October 13 from 10 a.m.t o 4 p.m.

This year women veterans will be honored for their service to our country. There will be a women veteran from every branch of the service in attendance. In order to be sure that the parade route is filled with people, we are asking that every civic association choose a block along the parade route and have as many members as possible meet on the chosen block to cheer on those marching in the parade. It would be great if each civic association would bring their banner including the association’s name. In this way, those marching as well as those watching will be aware that our civic associations have come out to cheer our veteran’s on. What? No banner! Well, we can help you get one. If your civic association commits to bringing 10 members

to the parade and you are among the first 10 to call, we will give you a banner with your association’s name on it. The banner has a retail value of $200, so I’m sure they will go fast. Please call me at (718) 792-6385 if you are interested. West Nile Virus Unfortunately, four people in our immediate community have contracted West Nile Virus. That is a large number for a small area. It is very important to take steps to protect yourself and your family because this virus can be deadly, especially for the very young and the elderly. Be absolutely sure that there is no standing water on your property because mosquitoes will use this to breed. If you see a dead bird, call 311 as the bird should be tested for West Nile. One of our members and my uncle, Tony Guglielmo, is one of the four who has contracted West Nile. He is fighting this virus but I ask for your prayers. He is a strong man and with the help of God he will be home soon.

BY LYNN GERBINO Our thanks go out to Ken Kearns, district manager of Community Board 10 who spoke at our last meeting. We received a great update on what was going on in the community. Also, thanks go out to Rachel Mazza, president of the Throggs Neck Girls Softball League, who delivered the sponsor trophy we received for our first place team!! Thanks to all of the girls who were on the Throggs Neck Home Owners Association team!! We are proud of you!! At the last meeting, I asked if you could bring the fixings for Thanksgiving dinners to the next meeting, we would be most grateful. We are going to be working with Judy Lanci and the Theodore Korony American Legion Auxiliary to get a few turkey dinners together for veterans families in two homeless shelters in the Bronx. So, at our next meeting bring held on October 30th, please bring turkey fixings..stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, gravys, etc (anything a family may enjoy on Thanksgiving) and we will donate money from the treasury to purchase a few turkeys. Thanks for helping

out!!

BY MARY JANE MUSANO Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. at .P.S 14 on Bruckner Boulevard. We will be showing a film documentary called 2012: They Come To America. The film is about the devastation illegal immigration is causing in our country. It is very informative and in our opinion a must see for every American, no matter what your opinion is on illegal immigration. We all need to know the facts and they are presented in a firsthand manner in this interesting film. We hope to see you there. Veteran’s Day Parade In last week’s column we discussed the parade route but it has since been changed. The parade will begin on Tremont and Lafayette Avenues and continue along Tremont Avenue to Randall Avenue where it will continue left along Randall and then right on the service road heading to Veteran’s Park where it will culminate with a celebration of this important day.

shelved. The results have become clearly evident close to home. Currently, New York State has one of the most severe unemployment levels in the nation, at 9.1%, as opposed to the national level of 8.1%. (The Bronx has the most severe in the entire state, at 13.1%, a figure that is worse than every one of the 50 states.) The problem is about to get bigger. As a result of military spending cutbacks, Sikorsky has announced that it will close its plant in Big Flats, New York—a loss of 570 jobs. The size of the work force had already dwindled down from 1,300. The facility, located near Elmira, is relatively new, (it was constructed in 2007) and is in a region of the state particularly hard hit by unemployment. The New York State Department of Labor notes that from August 2011 to August 2012, not even one private sector job was produced in the region, and 2,100 jobs were lost. The issue has become a political battle between the two candidates for U.S. Senate. The incumbent, Kristie Gillibrand is a Democrat but apparently couldn’t convince fellow Democrat Obama to take steps to save the plant. Her rival, Republi-

can challenger Wendy Long, has advocated a jobs and economic growth agenda along with support for enhanced defense capabilities. She has severely criticized the plant closing. New York is not alone. The multi-year $487 billion in defense reductions already in existence may soon be almost doubled by “sequestration” cuts scheduled to go into effect in January unless deficit-reducing measures are agreed to in Washington. The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel notes that “Dramatic cuts in military spending are beginning to take a toll on defense jobs in…states such as Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.” Concerns about the domestic impact of the White House’s insistence on reducing military spending have been voiced, even within the president’s cabinet. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned that this policy would lead to a loss of 1.53 million jobs, dramatically increasing unemployment. Additionally, the demobilizing of significant numbers of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines into a neardepression economy would swell the ranks of the unemployed at the worst possible time.

The dire effects of slashing our military budget can already be seen in New York. It should be remembered that the “Great Depression” of the 1930s only ended when the United States became the arsenal of democracy and created employment in armaments factories. As the threat from Germany loomed large in Europe, and Japan moved to conquer the whole of the Pacific region, Americans finally emerged from the nightmare of mass unemployment by finding work building tanks, airplanes and ships. Today, the world again rests upon the precipice of disaster. China has a navy that will soon equal ours, and the world’s largest armed forces. They have already used that navy to steal resources from the Philippines, threaten Japan, and intimidate almost every other nation in the region. A resurgent Russia possesses a nuclear arsenal greater than America’s, and the gap continues to grow in Moscow’s favor. Once again, the newly liberated nations that used to be part of the Soviet Empire live in fear. Despite these frightening realities, as well as the need to reverse an unemployment level not seen since the Great Depression, the White House continues to demand that the military bear the brunt of spending cuts. Additionally, other high-tech, jobproducing endeavors such as the space program have been

BY KENNETH KEARNS Community Board 10 works everyday to bring better governmental services to the residents of the Board’s service area. We are often assisted in our efforts by our excellent cadre of elected officials, who partner with the Community Board to bring these services to our neighborhoods. At our September meeting, we were privileged to be joined by two of our elected officials who work tirelessly on behalf of our communities, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and our own Council member, James Vacca. The Speaker discussed some of her ideas about government, such as administrative reform for city agencies, to make them more “customer” friendly entities, the restoration of the drug module to the 45th Precinct and the importance of neighborhood preservation. The speaker spent time answering questions from the public and the Board members on wide range of topics. We also treated to an overview

of issues affecting the residents of our communities by Councilman Jimmy Vacca whose advocacy on behalf of our neighborhoods, is legendary. Here are some of the issues that the Board has been involved in for the month of September: 1. Meeting with the majority of City agencies, during the annual Budget Consultations on Capital and Expense items. The Board uses these meetings to advise the agencies on the District’s needs for capital projects, such as (new parks, new sewers) and expense needs (more police officers). 2. Advocating for the establishment of Metro North Railroad stations in the following communities: Co-op City, and Morris Park. The railroad wants to

BY BOBBY RUGGIERO Now that summer is behind us, the Board looks forward to getting back on track to unite this merchant corridor. It’s been a productive year for the Alliance and we’re excited about our accomplishments to date. Every month since the beginning of the year Board members have walked the entire commercial strip spending time with the shop owners listening to their concerns. One issue was the muni-meter parking problem. Under the old muni-meter regulations, once you moved off the block where the muni ticket was issued, it became

Morris Park Alliance invalid. The new regulations, sponsored by Councilman Jimmy Vacca, you can now move freely from one parking place to another with your muni-meter receipt provided that the time on the receipt hasn’t expired. Under the guidance and assistance of State Senator Jeff Klein we applied for a grant to renovate and gentrify the retail stores on the

expand service from its New Haven Line to the Bronx, bringing passengers down through the Northeast Bronx to Pennsylvania Station or north to the coastal communities of Westchester and Connecticut, in less than a half a hour. 3. Meeting with the merchant associations and business groups to determine how New York City government can better serve them and to foster environments for growth. 4. Working with the many fine agency staff from the governmental agencies, such as Sanitation, Police, Fire, Environmental Protection, Buildings, Human Resources and Finance to bring services to the Board’s residents. 5. Assisting the many civic and block associations in the Board’s service areas, with their needs. Our board is in the midst of an effort to try to have the NYPD reinstate the Drug Module to the 45th Precinct. The Module had resided exclusively within

the 45th Precinct, and as a result the drug trade within our community board was greatly reduced. The Police Department made a decision to spilt the Module with the 43rd Precinct. The drug trade within the 45th Precinct differs from that in the 43rd Precinct, because it is far more sophisticated. Within the 45th Precinct untraceable cell phones and computers are used to accomplish sales, and because our Board is situated at the merge point of three highways, the dealers and the buyers conduct their business and leave the community. It is for these reasons that the Drug Module must be returned to the 45th Precinct. The board has assembled petitions calling upon the Police Commissioner to restore the Module to the 45th Precinct. Additionally, the petition also calls for the assignment of additional officers to the 45th Precinct. These petitions were distributed to all the community groups and are available at the board office for those

who wish to sign them. As many of you know, our area has become very attractive to developers, who wish to build retail outlets. There are three such malls proposed for our communities: Target and a Woodbury Common type of mall in the vicinity of Brush Avenue, in the Ferry Point Park section and Macy’s in Bay Plaza, just outside of Co-op City. While the board is happy to see this level of development and will enjoy all of the choices offered by these retailers, and benefit from the jobs generated by these stores, we are also aware of the traffic that will be generated. All of these stores are situated along the Interstate 95 or New England Thruway Corridor. Traffic plans that are rational in scope and sustainable for the future must be developed, in order for the malls to coexist with the residential communities. Our board has been privileged to have the services of a Graduate Student in Urban Planning from Borough President Ruben

Diaz, the 2012-2013 Fund for the City of New York Community Fellowship Program and Columbia University, to assist the board in drafting such a plan. Many of us are truly fortunate in having four legged friends; please remember to clean up after your dog. Do it for your dog, the kids in the neighborhood and most of all for yourself. It is very important for the health of your dog and your neighbors. Besides, there is a $250 fine for failing to clean up after your pet and violating the pooper-scooper law. The Board has on hand a supply of Sanitation Department approved pooper-scooper law posters. These laminated posters can be affixed to your property, and they advise the public about the law and its fine structure. CB 10 is available to assist you with your concerns. Contact us at (718) 892-1161 or [email protected]. Visit our office at 3165 E. Tremont Avenue. We are open five days a week between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

west end of Morris Park. Although the grant is based on a competitive venue, we feel that the unique historic value of Van Nest, the scope of the project and the close proximity of the participants will hopefully give us a leading edge over other communities. Councilman Jimmy Vacca is very concerned about the continued viability of the Morris Park business corridor. In order to stimulate more interest from our merchants, and assist us in our efforts, he has made funding available to the Bronx Chamber of Commerce’s new Merchant

& Business Development Program. Joe Regina, who was instrumental in the Westchester Square Merchants Association efforts to become the 9th Business Improvement District in the Bronx, is the director of the program. He, and his staff, will provide the technical assistance, support, and guidance that will help to unify our merchants and strengthen our group so we can point to becoming a BID as well. We’re currently attending conferences and planning sessions with City Planners and an advisory committee from the MTA to bring Metro North rail service back to the east Bronx. A Marriot hotel is coming to the Hutch Metro Center, roads are being repaired and there’s a buzz in the air about Morris Park. But with every forward step comes a few slips backwards. At our meeting last week, the final vote was taken by the members in attendance to abandon the Christmas Lighting project again for 2012. As of this printing we collected only $2,200 for the $24,000 project. Considering the requested donation was $100 and there are

300 retail merchants, three major drug store chains, a half-dozen big name banks and we started collections in January, the response has been paltry and under whelming. We’re simply out of time. Refund checks will be issued to the business owners who did contribute later this month. There are so many other projects of greater importance we just can’t allocate any more effort beating a dead horse. Our broad scale goal for the Alliance is to spend more time trying to forge better relationships with the shopkeepers. We need to impress upon them that there is a community responsibility that we all need to share. No longer can we continue having only 30 or 40 businesses respond to community efforts while the others simply ignore it. And surprisingly, the most flagrant abusers of this community are new business owners and the chain stores. We’ve spent more time filtering our way through the company bureaucracy of CVS, Rite Aid, Domino’s Pizza and Dunkin Donuts than I care to consider. New shop owners view this community as a rev-

enue stream they don’t need to participate in. Perhaps, as an entire community if we simply stopped shopping these brands, maybe corporate and small owners alike will get the hint. In the meantime our vision will focus on bringing a Business Improvement District to the Morris Park Community modeled after Westchester Square. We would like to thank the following Merchants for their contribution to our Christmas Lights. As stated above they will receive refund checks for their contributions: Van Nest Hardware, The Gjonaj Family a/k/a MP Reality, Katonoh Property Management, Royal Cigars, Van Nest Auto Parts, 900 Park Restaurant, Windowrama, John Dormi & Sons Funeral Home, Joseph Lucchese Funeral Home, Spatatax, Cavallo Insurance, Flowers by Nelly, Conti Bake Shop, Jampol Hardware, Vataj Reality, Cybermania, LLC, H&R Block, Morris Park Chiropractic, Scaglione Bakery, RAIN, Cross County Bank, J&L Pharmacy, Caputo Jewelers, F. Ruggiero & Sons Funeral Home, and Louie’s Pizza.

November 9th is the Annual Bronx County Military Ball (dinner dance) at Villa Barone Manor, formal event, $75 per person. Reservations also required. November 11th, Veterans Day, we have the ceremony at the ‘Winged Victory’ monument, at the grove, Pelham Bay Park, on the way to City Is. It starts at 10:30 a.m. My father always called it the Soldiers & Sailors Monument. Then on the 18th, we have our own Annual Vet-

erans Day Parade, down the avenue from Laffayette Ave. to Randall then a left and over the overpass to Bicentennial Veterans Memorial Park at Weir Creek. Step-off at noon sharp. We have a new Color Guard in the works, march with them and support them! Until Next Time: Sunday the 30th was Gold Star Mother’s Day. Most of you know that a banner bearing a gold star, in the window of a home, signifies a young person from that household has made the supreme sacrifice, in combat for their country. My folks explained to me, as a young boy collecting WW2 era stamps, what the “gold star” stamp meant. Won’t you pass this on and educate someone too, so we never forget.

the light changes to green .It is a great way to judge if we think we will have enough time to safely cross. We very much appreciate the efforts of Senator Klein, Councilman Vacca, Community Board 10, Ken Kearn, and D.O.T. Commissioner Moran for their united successful signage and exit speed sign of 30 miles an hour at exit 3 on the northbound exit on the Hutchinson River Parkway service road. However!!!!??? However, our community still would very much appreciate a full stop sign at the Hutchinson River Parkway Service Road and Mayflower Avenue. When autos come off the parkway doing a lot more than 30 miles an hour, they make a very wide right turn onto Mayflower Avenue and narrowly miss parked cars and those coming from Mayflower Avenue and East 196th Street. Many of our PBTCA living on Mayflower Avenue close to the Hutch service road have

complained of near misses of their autos by speeding cars. Another dangerous corner is where the school bus picks up and drops children off at the intersection of Hobart, East 196 Street, and Continental Avenue.

on St. Theresa and Pilgrim Avenues. St. Theresa Avenue does have the calming lanes but we have seen many cars not slowing down their speed coming down the street. The street is on an incline and cars gain momentum as they come down to Pilgrim Avenue. A full stop sign at Pilgrim and St. Theresa Avenue is a necessity for the safety of our children going to and from school. Especially after night games, gymnastic events, and dance events. Also for seniors walking with canes or walkers after Saturday and Sunday masses. Calming lanes are not as effective in slowing down traffic as a full stop sign .A full stop sign ignored can result in an expensive ticket and may cause drivers to slow down and obey full stop signs. The other traffic signals we are still patiently waiting for are the traffic lights informing us how many seconds are left before


ice are not far behind. Living in New York City is a great opportunity for all of us to enjoy the changing of spring, summer. autumn and winter, except the raking of leaves and the shoveling of snow. The recycling of cans and bottles back to our super markets has created a huge problem Too many go through our garbage pails early in the morning waking many of us up to gather cans and bottles that residents have thrown away. The residents throw them away because of people who pull up in vans with huge black garbage plastic bags full of recycles they have not paid 5 cents per can or bottle. Those who throw away the re-cycles do not have the

time to wait for those who monopolize the machines. When I’ve gone up to Rochester, New York and shopped at the huge super market, Wegmans, I noticed customers bringing their recycling items to a big counter with three and four employees collecting the cans and bottles and throwing them in the back after counting the cans and bottles and giving the customer a receipt for the ten or 12 items they have returned. A much better system they have in Rochester than we encounter here denying us what we have paid for. A much better solution is to eliminate the 5 cent charge on ever can and bottle we purchase because we do have the sanitation department collecting recycles every week. Pelham Bay Taxpayers & Civic Association will continue asking for four way full stop signs at every school. The much needed four way full stop sign that PBTCA is familiar with is

Coop City is one of the largest communities in the country and a parking lot at this Metro North express stop is a dire necessity.

Bronxites. Congressman Paul Fino and our first borough president, Louis Haffen, are two names that come to mind. Ron Schliessman had given me a small brochure a few years ago that I just came across. It’s call the “Bronx Council Orator” and it’s devoted to the interests of Bronx Council Number 1416 of the Royal Arcanum. It’s dated June – July 1910 and perhaps that’s what makes it so interesting. The council covered the Williamsbridge section of our borough and lists some of the active members, their social endeavors, etc. Participation in their insurance program, by the way, is listed as mandatory for membership and a chart listing the cost for various age groups is also in the brochure. It indicates, by the way, that age 55 is the limit

for admission. That was a very fair number as life expectancy for men in 1910 was only 49. At that time the total membership of the Royal Arcanum was 246,328 and needless to say it is now in the millions. Whenever I get these old brochures, one of the first things I do is check the advertisements. The Williamsbridge branch of the Northern Bank of New York was located at 3813 White Plains Avenue and V. M. Salvator served as manager at the time. R. Vogt dealt in beef, pork, lamb, veal, mutton, poultry, game, fish, fruits and vegetables and had his place of business at 3463 White Plains Avenue at 210th Street. Andrew Bickhardt ran his roofing and heating business from 3466 Webster Avenue. His shop was nearby at 3540 Bronx Boulevard

where he manufactured skylights and such. Frederick P. Ballard was the funeral director and embalmer during this era when wakes were generally held in the home of the deceased. Ballard also indicted that he had coaches to let in this horse and buggy era and he was located at 3706 White Plains Avenue at the corner of 216th Street. The Williamsbridge branch of the Bronx Borough Bank was located at White Plains Avenue and 218th Street and William S. Germain served at manager. Edward Rafter indicated in his ad that the business was established in 1863 and that he was an importer and wholesaler of teas, coffees and fine groceries. He was located at 3777 White Plains Road (sic) at the corner of 219th Street. You will note that most of these advertisers and others were smart enough to mention the cross street in their ads to better pinpoint their locations. These old brochures have a lot of stories to tell.

The Royal Arcanum is one of the many organizations from the last century that sought to assist families in time of need. Large families and a rather high death rate were a constant problem to the immigrant population and societies such as this offered a semblance of hope to those who could afford to join.

There was a time in America when big families and small paychecks were the norm. The dream of “a chicken in every pot” was far from reality and life’s expectations were limited. Burials in Potters Field abounded and for those who could scrape up enough money to bury their loved ones, there was often nothing left over for a memorial to mark the grave. These conditions gave rise to a plethora of fraternal organizations, each offering various much-needed services to their membership. Almost without exception, burial insurance was among their chief benefits. With the advent of social services, most of these organizations have since died off but some still flourish. Among the latter is the Royal Arcanum which was established in Massachusetts in 1877 and has spread throughout the land. Many prominent Americas held membership in their ranks including some well-known

Even small business owners shooed Ruggiero away, despite his heartfelt pitch to get the lights up. “Lights give the community an air of festivity,” said Ruggiero. “It allows locals to shop the commercial corridors.” But his proposal didn’t work. Ruggiero blamed several shopkeepers new to the block, saying “The new shopkeepers throw you out like you’re a beggar.” Further hampering Morris Park’s plight, he added, is the area’s lack of a business improvement district, still dragging along . He recently turned to Councilman Jimmy Vacca for assistance. Vacca helped create a division at The Bronx Chamber of Com-

merce to help groups like the MPBA work through the BID application process. “Without the formation of a business improvement district, I don’t see Christmas Lights ever coming back to Morris Park,” said Ruggiero. A BID would provide city funds to help spruce up the Morris Park business area. Joe Regina, who heads the division, said a BID is only as strong as the association that helped start it. “You need to have a viable organization,” stressed Regina. “That doesn’t happen until all the owners in that district pull together in the same direction.” Regina promised to help Morris Park get their BID started. But until then, Morris Park will be in the dark. For more information head to the Morris Park Alliance column on page 40.

Community scare over Ferry Point Park methane leakage From page 1 be concerned about?” was the big question asked by Councilman Jimmy Vacca, who led the packed meeting Monday evening, Oct. 1 at Throggs Neck Houses, across from the site. “The answer is no,” said Venetia Lannen with the State Department of Environmental Conservation. On top of regular testing, an underground vent trench built a decade ago around the golf course now under construction there naturally blocks methane gas from seeping into the community, said Lannen. She assured residents that the methane gas found at a number of the 68 testing wells scattered next to the site pose no threat, despite published reports. Officials admitted there were high methane readings outside the park, but the amounts were inconsistent from day to day. The occasional high levels detected in some of the wells posed no danger since the gas was not under pressure, key to its combustion. Independent monitors hired by the city Parks Department have been monitoring methane

gas outside the golf course biweekly for years, according to Lannen, with the data turned over to the DEC for evaluation. But the DEC’s Samsudeen Arakan did not have data on methane levels for the surrounding homes near the park, including the city Housing Authority’s Throggs Neck Houses. NYCHA’s Ralph Trocchio said a test last week showed no high methane levels at the complex. FDNY Ladder 50 and Battalion 20 also found no methane checks around homes on Miles Ave and the NYCHA complex on Sept. 27. But neighbor Eddie Quiles challenged the FDNY’s results after personally conducting his own check for methane at several homes on Miles and Emerson avenues. “I detected high levels of what could be methane gas,” he said. Like Quiles, neighbors remained skeptical. “You know the Parks Department can’t even fix the benches,” blasted Patrick Villarruel. “Do you expect us to believe those readings?” The city covered the remain-

Pressure from the buried trash pushed out methane, a combustible gas neither visible or with any odor. But longtime neighbors remember spotting pockets of methane fire erupting from the site. The phenomenon inspired several neighbors to refer to the

site as “the volcano.” “We probably have it in our bodies now,” cried resident Antonia Knapp, 67, an asthma sufferer. But Assemblyman Mike Benedetto said he believed the DEC, commending agencies for collectively dispelling “the danger of higher levels.”

He said the DEC has promised to share methane test well results with the public. “This will allow the community to be kept informed,” he said, “and remain ever vigilant on this matter.” Reach reporter David Cruz at 718-742-3383.

be any Christmas lights until further notice. “I did everything!” declared MPBA leader Bobby Ruggiero, who overhauled the entire collection process for the lights following complaints by local merchants. “They ask you to start early, we started in January,” said Ruggiero. “They complained they didn’t know who they were giving the money to, so we had only board members collect money.” Ruggiero was only able to collect $2200 since the beginning of this year. That makes him short $24,000. “There’s no way I’m going to get $22,000 in six weeks.” Following reports from The Bronx Times Reporter, several big-chain stores decided to chip in the requested $100, including the local Rite-Aid pharmacy. But Ruggiero is still waiting on that promise.

Mistakes doom Hayes in loss to Xavier BY JOSEPH STASZEWSKI

Jets (2-1) 23 Dolphins (1-2) 20 The Dolphins lost this game more than the Jets won it. The Jets gave up close to 400 total yardsnearly 200 on the ground and in the air. They also had over 100 yards on 11 penalties. Adding injury to insult Revis hurt his knee. Switching QBs, from Sanchez to Tebow in the middle of a possession DOES disrupt a QB’s rhythm, if he has any The game began with the team playing “Jets football.” Sanchez threw an interception and the fish scored a TD 2 plays later. I really don’t know if anyone with the Jets has ANY clue about the team’s ID or where they’re going. It doesn’t look like it, to me. Substitutes The substitute NFL officials don’t possess the levels of competence that allows players to play safely. They’ve risked the health of valuable NFL assets. The league MUST bring back the regular officials. Tracee Hamilton DC Post wrote about officials in the Rams-Skins game. “What happened Sunday in St. Louis was a travesty, from beginning to end. The league and the union must put aside their differences, get back in a room and hammer something out, because — and I can’t believe I’m writing these words — the integrity of the game is at stake. Well, maybe “integrity” is a strong word. “Image” is probably better.

Week 3

Cardinal Hayes knew it was running into a motivated opponent. Xavier was looking to win for athletic director Gerard “Rod” Walker, who lost his battle with cancer earlier in the week at the age of 59. “I tried to prepare my team for it, but I guess they came out stronger,” Hayes running back Patrick Heumengi said. Xavier capitalized turnovers on Hayes’ first two possessions and rode running back William “Trey” Solomon to a dominant 41-14 win at Aviator Athletic Complex in Brooklyn in a CHSFL Class AA-A game Saturday. Solomon rushed for 313 yards and five touchdowns on 32 carries and added 45-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Wolfer in the second quarter. “We are just not doing a good job defending people right now,” Cardinals coach C.J. O’Neil said. “You can’t give a team a 28-0 first [half] lead.” Quarterback James Richardson, who left the game late in the fourth with an ankle injury, threw an interception on the opening drive. On the ensuing possession, Richardson connected with Amir Crenshaw along the left side, but as he fumbled the ball at the Xavier 7-yard line looking for the extra yard. Solomon capitalized on both turnovers with scoring runs to give Xavier (3-1, 2-1) a 14-0 lead heading into the second quarter. Xavier’s offensive line won the battle upfront, springing Solomon, Ryan Kilgallen and Brendan McCabe loose. “Little mistakes” Heumengi said. “Our receivers have to look at the ball and protect the ball better.” There were a few bright spots in the second half for Hayes (2-2,

Steven Bautista runs over a Xavier defender. 1-2), who were coming in off a lopsided win over Christ the King. Richardson connected with Robert Harris for a 13-yard touchdown pass to get his team on the board in the third quarter. The Cardinals recovered the onside kick, but were unable to do anything with it. Khalil Collier ran

back a fumble recovery 70-yards for a touchdown to the other Hayes points. “Hopefully we get into games where we get into flows quicker than that,” O’Neil said. Flashes of success aren’t good enough for Hayes team use to being at the top of the division.

It feels there are numerous things they need to clean up and the games don’t get easier. The Cardinals host a 3-0 Bishop Ford team, which beat them last season, this Sunday at SUNY Maritime. “We just have to pick up the pieces and see how we go from here,” Heumengi said.

Riverdale/Kingsbridge adjusting to challenging division Julienne Krause knew things would be very different for her Riverdale/Kingsbridge girls soccer team when it was moved from the PSAL Bronx A Division to the newly formed Bronx/Manhattan A league. “It was an honor that we were picked to be with some of the stron-

gest teams in the city,” the coach said. “But every game is now going to be a challenge.” Her squad found that out last Thursday, suffering a 9-2 loss to Bard at East River Park. Still the Tigers see this new divisional alignment not as an impediment

to growth, but rather as a catalyst. RKA was the second best team in Bronx A, beating the team’s below them soundly and struggling against division leader Bronx Science. “We have to show up to play every day,” Krause said. “It’s forcing us to learn to play at a high

level every day. Even five ‘off’ minutes can hurt us.” RKA is led by junior Summer Sofer and freshman Samantha Rosette, both of whom scored in the team’s loss on Thursday. Sofer finished second in the PSAL last season with 43 goals as led RiverContinued on page 61


Bromfield puts commissioner job on hold BY JOSEPH STASZEWSKI Iris Bromfield believed her time coaching at Kennedy was over after 27 seasons. She gave up the school’s boys volleyball team last spring to become the sport’s assistant commissioner for the PSAL and was offered the same position on the girls side for this Fall. Bromfield even had double knee replacement surgery in June thinking her legs wouldn’t have to endure the rigors of the season. She went against her therapist’s recommendations at the time and went back to work a month early in order to coach. “I left in June thinking that I wasn’t going to come back and coach,” she said. That didn’t prove to be the case. The school could not find a suitable coach to take over the team. Bromfield said she enjoys her time as commissioner, but did not want to leave her players in a difficult situation and took the club back. She said the school is looking for possible coaching candidates for next season if she is again offered

the job as commissioner. Broomfield is one of the city’s most successful volleyball coaches. She won three PSAL city titles with the boys and three others with the girls. She went to the championship match 10 times in all. “I can’t imagine the season without her,” junior setter Shefkije Zariqi said. “She is our coach. I can’t imagine playing with another coach. It would be so weird.” They have gotten a slightly different Bromfield this season. The usually active coach hasn’t been able to demonstrate much during practice and spends her time sitting during matches. While she feels it might be hurting her team’s growth, the players feel otherwise. “Even when she is hurting she still says things that help us,” sophomore outside hitter Alexis Robles said. Bromfield is excited about the potential for this club, which as a young group finished second in Bronx A and lost in the second round of the playoffs

Coach Iris Bloomfield (r.) returns to the bench and hopes to lead her Kennedy girls volleyball team to another successful season. a year ago. Kennedy also returns junior outside hitter Arjeta Krasniqi, senior libro Amoi Rose and junior middle hitter Leslye Olivo. Senior Elvane Meha came back to the team after a year

absence and Kennedy added JV call ups Yalexa Santana and Dashley Guzman. “They have a lot of experienced players,” Bromfield said. “These girls have been on the court for years.”

Their experience, plus Bromfield’s wealth of knowledge should make for a team that only gets better and better as the year goes on. The Knights hope to make a deeper playoff run.

“I have pretty high expectations for this year,” Zariqi said. “I think we will make it pretty far. I have a good feeling.”

Warrior Football Club highlights and game-day results BY THE CHIEF Puffy white clouds on a bright blue background filled the sky as multi colored jerseys frolicked below during week two of the Warrior Football Club season. Chief Jerry Demers had high praise for the volunteer coaches whose teams played exceptionally well. Jerry also had many thanks for the sponsors but especially for the original sponsors who have been with us since 1985. Giordano’s Funeral Home, Balsamo’s Funeral Home, O’Connor Carpet, McNulty Funeral Home and Schuyler Hill Funeral Home. Flag Division Although no scores or standings are kept in Flag football, the play during the second week of the season was lively and enthusiastic. The Parkview Sports Cherokee showed great im-

provement as Jamel Nedderman and Vincent Incognoli played intensely well. The Pruzzo’s Supermarket Apaches had outstanding games from Aaron Caceres and Paulie Lachman. The Mohicans, sponsored by Barino’s Market, showed a lot of team talent with Phillip Addario and Nicholas Callari leading the way. The Blue and Gold Shawnee, sponsored by Dugout Sports, were all over the field with Nicholas Bustamante and Maximus Bracer having great days. Anthony’s Flower Farm Sioux and Mister Softee Blackfeet also played their games in the spirit of Warrior Football – fun, friendship and fitness. Mite Division The O’Connor Carpet Bears and Schuyler Hill

Funeral Home Giants were scoreless at the end of the game after a great defensive battle. Outstanding defensive plays were turned in by Bears players Gabriel Ciman and Christian Costanz. The Middletown Animal Clinic Chiefs took a tough lost against the North Bronx Paint & Hardware Jets 13-0. The Chiefs players played hard with Aidan Haney-Piri running the ball well and contributing with a handful of tackles. Dylan Carrasquillo ran a valiant offense and forced a fumble and recovered it while on defense. Bryant Ellis Ferdinand Cason and Peter DeFabbia also contributed a couple of big tackles. Junior-Pee Wee Division The Design Development Spartans fell short of a win against the Miller Tire Blue Devils on Satur-

day Morning with a score of 20-6. For the second straight week, the Spartans only score came from flanker Justin Fernandez on a spectacular 47 yard run in the first half. Sebastian Rodriguez sparked the Spartans at the start of the second half with a great kick-off return. After stopping the bouncing ball at the Spartans 35 yard line, Sebastian ran it back up the middle behind the superb blocking of Tyrell Foster, cutting sharp to the right and up the sidelines, until he was finally stopped at the Blue Devils 38 yard line. On the Spartans first defensive series in the second half, middle line backer Shane Harris came up big with a huge hit causing a fumble and then recovering it. Allen Camilo had a fantastic game playing nose tackle

for the first time, disrupting the Blue Devils inside attack. Regardless of the score at the end of the game, every Spartan played hard on both sides of the ball. All three Blue Devils touchdowns were scored by Brandon Lopez, the extra points were scored by John Tomsen and Nick Tulipano. Daniel Santiago gave a valiant effort in his attempt at kicking an extra point. Great tackles were made by Eric Reyes, Jimmy McGaughan, Ethan Colon, Victor Lugo, and Matt Marquez. The Blue Devils coaches wish to thank all of their players for their continued effort and hard work for their second consecutive win. Dr. David Steven Steelers won an exciting offensive game against the Jimmy Ryan’s Ramblers 27-21. During the opening

drive Carlo Volpe was lined up in the shotgun formation and received the snap from center Peter Lisanti. Carlo threw a perfect spiral to Elijah Murillo who was wide open in the end zone for the first TD of the game. Both Justin Martinez and Jamar combined for 3 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball Mark Kokaj was able to stop the mighty Sal Maida, the Ramblers all purpose player, just before the end zone. Justin Martinez also contributed a sack for a 5 yard loss. Pee Wee Division Week two of the Warriors Peewee Division started with the McNulty Funeral Home Rams vs. the Balsamo’s Funeral Home Javelins. The Rams ground attack was led by running backs Justin Montoyo and


from page 59 With these weekly gaffes and blunders, the league’s image is taking a real hit — an illegal hit, shoulder to the chin, the kind that makes your head snap back as your body flops to the turf. Sort of like the hit Fred Davis took Sunday — with no penalty called. That was the most egregious of the officiating mistakes in the game, and that’s the one that matters most. It was clearly an illegal hit, the kind the league said it would end, the kind any official worth his stripes would have called. Instead, while the NFL and the union squabble, the health and safety of their players are in jeopardy. (Note to the NFL and the union: Without the players, you’re a bunch of guys in suits. It behooves you to protect them.) Dan Daly (DC Times) wrote about the same game. “There was so much trash talking, finger pointing, facemask tugging and late hitting — among other unpleasantries — that the action teetered on the edge of professional wrestling at times. About the only thing we didn’t have was one player accusing an-

other of using a Foreign Object. Nerves were rubbed so raw by the end that Joshua Morgan ridiculously overreacted to a veritable love tap from St. Louis’ Cortland Finnegan, costing the Redskins 15 yards and killing any realistic chance they had of sending the game into overtime. Playoffs M L B - C om mi ssioner “Uncle” Bud Selig has done it again. In this year’s playoffs, the team with the best record begins their play on the road for two games. If the home, wildcard team wins both of those games, then the team with the best record over 162 games MUST win three in a row to advance. Did anyone say that coming in second is better than coming in first? They open at home in their 2-2-1 series (I think). Walking With The NHL Norman Chad went off on Donald Fehr (me, too). “I’m sorry, how is it possible that Donald Fehr is the NHL Players Association executive director? How much sports labor strife can one man subsidize in a single lifetime? Is there no

RKA She hopes to improve on what she and her team have built in her first two seasons, while helping to get her teammates on the same page. Rosette has an impressive set of skills for a freshman and works in combination with Sofer on the offensive end. “Summer and Samantha have been really big out there,” Krause said. “They’ve been responsible for most of our scoring. They work very well together.” The Tigers are off to a 1-4 start, but fell by just a goal to LaGuardia, Hunter and defending city champion Beacon. They have needed added scoring after starting goalie Emma Levine broke her finger early in the season, forc-

The Riverdale/Kingsbridge girls soccer team is adjusting to life in the the new PSAL Bronx/Manhattan ing first-time goalkeeper Lindsey Crowe to fill the void. “I think everyone who has stepped in to play goalie this season has been amazing,” Sofer said. “Because we really didn’t have a goalie so for them to step up has been great.”

According to Sofer and Rosette, the key moving forward is communication, something that captains Carlene Fontanez Lutsky and Courtney Segal are working to correct. “I think basically we’re not consistent

enough,” Rosette said. “Sometimes we come out full strength and we’re playing as a unit, but sometimes we’re just playing like individuals.” The hope is that a season of top level games will bring that and them together by season’s end.

new sports-labor blood out there? My goodness, even Jimmy Hoffa moved on from the Teamsters. Granted, the NHL and Fehr are meant for each other. The league canceled its entire 200405 season, and this is the third work stoppage during Gary Bettman’s tenure as commissioner; Fehr orchestrated a players strike that ended the 1994 MLB season with no World Series. I’m pro-labor, but if Donald Fehr walks into my union meeting, I send him out to Blockbuster for a digitized version of “Norma Rae” and close shop before he returns. Anyway, if all else fails, there is a proposal to put Fehr, Bettman and 15 rabid weasels into a room until an agreement is reached. My money’s on the weasels just walking out.” Bye-Bye Hockey Games in the NHL run from the end of the baseball season, through football basketball, and back into baseball again. The average fan has only so-much interest to spread around and that is given to teams that play. The last hockey work

stoppage wasn’t about anything major such as a living wage. It just divided a financial pie between millionaire owners and players. I used to be a rabid Ranger fan who could debate line make-ups but after that stoppage, I never had the same interest and I don’t think I’m alone. So, my final comment about all of that hockey hoohah- who cares? Sergio MartinezJulio Cesar Chavez Jr If this fight was scripted the outcome might have been different but Sergio Martinez (50-2-2,29KO) put an old fashioned “whupping” on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (48-1-1,32KO). The judges only gave JCC one round- I didn’t give him any even though Martinez was knocked down in the final round. Chavez’ left eye was closed, his right eye was half closed, his nose was bleeding, and his face was swollen, yet when he dropped Martinez the crowd thought it might be his father all over again. But it was not to be. Martinez got up and Chavez couldn’t put him away.

Before the end of the half, Connor Hanley-Piri led the Rams down the field with punishing runs and scored with the PAT from Steven Manfredi to give the Rams a 16-0 halftime lead. In the second half, Justin Montoyo added a 50+ yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 22-0 lead. The Rams were able to run at will behind the outstanding blocking of linemen Jayden Terry, Tristan Williams, Jacob Simmons, Mark Cojocaru, and Christian Valentin. Wide receivers Damil Cordero, Brandon Cabrera, Steven Rodriguez & tight end Steven Manfredi also contributed key blocking on the perimeters. With the offense being able to move the ball at will, the Rams defense made its contribution by posting its 2nd consecutive shutout and only allowed 3 first downs

the whole game. Once again they made numerous tackle in the backfield and kept constant pressure on the Javelins offense. The Rams worked as a unit on both sides of the ball, supporting each other giving them their 2nd victory of the year. A first half that belonged to defense and special teams finally turned into a scoring chance for the Ralph Giordano’s Funeral Home Saints on a picture perfect day in Pelham Bay Park. A tough matchup against the Ridgewood Savings Bank Black Knights, the Saints finally got their running game going with contributions from Isaiah Holder and Julian Cardona. However, it was the passing game that helped secure the victory with a 25 yd strike in the end zone from QB Kenyette Belle to WR Paul Turner to secure the win. Stellar defense especially by Nicholas Appolon and Arben Kukaj, Egzon Badilemaj, Isaiah Holder, Lionel Venero, and Conrad Perry made all the difference in the 6-0 win for the Rams.

to ensure that your kids enjoy candy without getting a mouthful of cavities? The key is moderation and balance. Lets start with the “UGLY.” Any substance that remains on the teeth long after the majority is swallowed we will call the UGLY. Taffy, caramel, gummy bears and candies that leave a residue are the worst, along with those items that remain in the mouth for long periods like sugary bubblegum, lolly-pops, licorice and hard candies. BAD is the label we would ascribe to can-

dies that are swallowed and dissolve almost immediately. Necco Wafers, chocolate covered cakes and cookies and fizzy dots are in this category. They afford no nutritional value, but do not impact and remain between teeth. Finally the group we can describe as GOOD (a relative term at best!) This category contains those candies that melt completely and actually have some nutritional value. Chocolate bars, chocolate with nuts, dark chocolate, and chocolate covered nuts (not raisins,) are part of this

can be utilized by bacteria. This includes foods such as potato chips, crackers, and breads as well as fruits, peanut butter, and pasta. Many of the snacks which we think are healthy can actually be very damaging to teeth . These include foods which tend to get stuck to teeth where they provide a constant source of carbohydrates for bacteria to use in creating acid. Raisins, for example, tend to get stuck on teeth providing a long term feast for bacteria. Likewise, peanut butter also tends to get stuck on teeth long after we eat also providing a source of carbohydrates for bacteria to feed on. So if candy is no worse or better at causing cavities than other foods, why the bad rap when it comes to candy? One reason may be

that although candy provides the body with sugar (an energy source), candy does not provide the body with other nutrients vital to the proper growth of young bodies. By constantly eating candy, young children may not be getting enough of the foods that provide them with needed proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Halloween is the time that if you chose to let your children have candy, you need to separate the “good, bad and ugly.” What are some of the things that you can do


Many of us remember growing up being told that candy was the mortal enemy to our teeth. It was something to be avoided if we didn’t want a mouthful of cavities. The truth is, however, that candy may be no worse at causing cavities than many of the other foods we enjoy. We’ve all heard that candy is bad for our teeth. Parents often provide their children with fruits, health snacks, and other substitutes for candy. Surprisingly, these snacks can be just as bad as or worse than the candy they replace. Cavities are caused by bacteria which work, live, and play within our mouths. These bacteria feast on food left on teeth after meals. The bacteria produce acid as a by-product of their feasting. It is this acid which eats into tooth enamel, creating cavities. Surprisingly, bacteria can use other foods just as efficiently as they can use candy to create this cavity causing acid. In fact, any food containing carbohydrates
