Lehman College unveils first dorm
What’s inside?

Carroll said buses are particularly important because many people in the area live too far from subway stations to comfortably walk the hilly terrain, particularly when carrying groceries or navigating damaged sidewalks. “You have to take a bus to get to a train or another bus,” she said. “So we really depend on the buses a lot.” David Gellman, a Spuyten Duyvil resident, said the neighborhood’s larger problem is not necessarily its connections north and south, but getting east and west to reach them. Metro-North serves communities along the western side of the coverage area, while the 1 train is accessible from Kingsbridge and the 4, B and D trains are farther east. For people who do not live near those stations, a local bus
Lehman College unveiled its first dormitory at 2530 Grand Concourse, marking a milestone for what was historically a commuter school. The Lehman Grand, which will house more than 180 students, is inside the newly renovated Dollar Savings Bank, an Art Deco-style building constructed in the 1930s. It includes amenities such as 24-hour security, a movie and gaming room, multiple lounge and study spaces, and a discount at the Fine Fare Supermarket next door. For Lehman students, the 10-story dorm represents a long-awaited step forward. Dorm pricing ranges from $9,025 to $16,720 per academic year, depending on room type — standard, city view and penthouse — according to Lehman’s site. Lehman College is a City University of New York school that was built in 1931 as Hunter College’s Bronx campus, before it was established as an independent CUNY school in 1968, according to Lehman’s site. It has more than 13,300 students, according to the site, about 11,600 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate. The new dorm’s name was chosen by Lehman’s student government association, explained its president, Michael Galindo. A rising junior and accounting major, Galindo won’t be living in the dorms, but touched on its significance to the student body at large. “We never really had a building just for ourselves to actually live in, to actually sleep in … for us to be with our friends,” Galindo said. “It’s a grand thing.” The dorms could better Lehman campus-wide, Galindo said, by attracting more out-of-state or international students. Anthony Stone, a senior environmental science major and student government senator, expressed similar excitement. He said it was a great feeling to be standing in a building he had been walking past for four years, when it was still vacant. Stone noted the benefit for students that don’t live close to campus, and are deterred by traffic or late buses and trains. Residents in the dorm can also take a

Residents across greater Riverdale are reporting unreliable bus service.
Greater Riverdale residents worry over inconsistent bus service By Michelle Mullen mmullen@riverdalepress.com
Going for gold Former local student trains for greatness Page A6
In greater Riverdale, bus riders say inconsistent service is leaving them waiting through long, unpredictable gaps year-round, with many saying it has been a longstanding issue. MTA rider surveys suggest wait times are a particular pain point. In its spring 2025 customer survey, only half of local, limited and Select Bus Service riders said they were satisfied with how long they waited for a bus — 14 percentage points lower than the 64 percent who said they were satisfied with bus service overall. The Riverdale Press observed Bx7 and Bx10 service at several stops in recent weeks, comparing actual bus arrival times with published MTA schedules. While buses generally
began their routes on or close to their scheduled times, service became less consistent farther along the routes, with buses sometimes arriving within minutes of each other, followed by longer gaps. For neighbors who rely on buses to reach the subway, shop or travel between different parts of the neighborhood, those inconsistencies can add significant time to otherwise short trips. Betty Carroll, who has lived at the Knolls Cooperative in Spuyten Duyvil for about 13 years and does not own a car, relies primarily on the Bx10 and Bx7. “What happens is two or three buses in a row, and then you don’t have a bus for a very long time, and then they’re very crowded, and people can’t get on them,” Carroll said.

Prescribed burning is the use of planned fires across the United States to improve ecosystems and prevent wildfires. What would it look like in a verdant, populated area like the northwest Bronx? A handful of residents explored the idea at Riverdale Neighborhood House Aug. 6, where Matthew Sprague, a researcher at Cornell University’s Lab of Urban Plant Ecology, led a roundtable discussion. Fire can be good for people and the land, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Trees get stressed by overcrowding, fire-dependent plant species can’t stay alive and flammable fuels build up in forest debris, posing a risk for natural wildfires that can’t be contained, the department said. A controlled fire under the right circumstances can reduce hazardous fuels, promote growth, minimize the spread of pest insects and disease, and recycle nutrients back to the soil, according to the department. Sprague noted the practice dates back thousands of years to Indigenous populations. Though rare, wildfires do happen in the city, Sprague said. In past instances, his lab observed after flames subsided, when charred material and bare soil remained, it made way for new, native plant growth — a possible solution to the ongoing issue of invaBURN on page A4

The Marble Hill Houses complex is located on Broadway between West 225th and 230th Streets.
The New York Police Department announced record-low levels of crime in city public housing developments this year, but for mothers raising young children at Marble Hill Houses, the statistics have not erased concerns about what happens outside their doors. During the first seven months of 2026, major crime in New York City Housing Authority, or NYCHA, developments fell just over 6 percent, from 3,387 incidents during the same period last year to 3,174. Murders dropped 45 percent, shooting incidents declined by a third and robberies fell by roughly 19 percent, according to the NYPD. The decline, however, has been even greater at Marble Hill Houses, a NYCHA complex located on Broadway between West 225th and 230th Streets. Overall major crime there fell 14.3 percent this year, the NYPD said, from 28 incidents during the same period last year to 24 this year. The development has recorded no murders, shootings or burglaries so far this year, while robbery incidents dropped from eight to three and grand larcenies fell from 10 to two compared to last year. Yet those numbers tell only part of the story for residents like Ashley Gallardo, a 31-year-old single mother who has lived at Marble Hill Houses for about three years. “Being that it’s just me and my son, it’s different because I have to protect him,” Gallardo said. “I got to protect myself and him.” According to the NYPD, not every crime declined. Felony assaults at Marble Hill Houses more than doubled, from seven last year to 15 this year, while grand larceny auto increased from one to four incidents. Gallardo said she generally feels safe NYCHA on page A4

Mamdani and Hochul at Riverdale’s BedRock Preschool, announce 2,000 kids received offers for 2-K class Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Aug. 4 at BedRock Preschool on Arlington Avenue that more than 2,000 kids have received offers to join New York City’s inaugural free 2-K class, according to a release from Hochul’s office. The release said the milestone is a major step forward in Hochul and Mamdani’s efforts to deliver free childcare to all 2 year olds in the city. Hochul announced $73 million earlier this year to establish the city’s first 2,000 free 2-K seats, according to the release, a dollar amount that is expected to grow to $425 million by 2027. “The overwhelming demand for 2-K shows what families across the city have known for years: New Yorkers need free, universal childcare, and they need it now,” Mamdani stated in the release. “More than 5,700 families applied because affordable childcare allows New York families to stay in the city they love.” Mamdani added in partnership with Hochul, the 2-K program will continue expansion until every family that wants a

Local elected officials, such as Assembly member Jeffrey Dinowitz, also spoke on the matter, according to the release. Dinowitz said New Yorkers need strong support systems that make it possible to raise families. “These new 2-K offers demonstrate that supporting families is a commitment backed by meaningful action,” Dinowitz stated. “Through this expansion, New York is providing much-needed financial relief for working families while giving more children the opportunity to begin their educational journey in New York City.”
Torres presses federal health department to reinstate Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres joined other federal New York leaders in demanding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reinstate Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants terminated in New York state, according to an Aug. 5 release from Torres’ office. In a letter to Kennedy, Torres and colleagues noted teen pregnancy rates in the city have risen since 2021, with a 10 percent increase from 2021 to 2022, and another five percent rise between 2022 and 2023, according to the release. Torres noted more than 5,300 teens became pregnant in 2023, and
about 75 percent of those were unintended. Teen pregnancy rates are also disproportionate to higher-poverty neighborhoods, the release said. “We urge HHS to reverse these terminations and work with New York’s affected grantees and congressional offices to maintain services, minimize disruption and ensure affected providers have a fair opportunity to compete for future federal funding,” the letter stated. “Young people should not lose access to medically accurate, evidence-based prevention services because of an abrupt change in federal policy priorities.”

Older adults suffer elevator outages during Con Ed voltage reduction By Olivia Young oyoung@riverdalepress.com Con Edison reduced voltage by 8 percent in greater Riverdale Aug. 7 so crews could repair equipment — a move that, while necessar y, led to dozens of residents claiming they lost elevator access, some for more than three days. An Aug. 7 news release from Con Ed asked 39,600 residents — including many in Riverdale, Marble Hill, Kingsbridge and Van Cortlandt Park — to conser ve energy while repairs were made, in order to protect equipment and maintain service. This meant not using energy-intensive appliances such as washers, dr yers and microwaves. A spokesperson for Con Ed said the reduced voltage started at about 3:30 p.m. Aug. 7, and was fully terminated by 5 p.m. Aug. 9. But the 8 percent reduction only lasted about 24 hours, the spokesperson said, at which point it was lowered to 5 percent — a level at which there is not much customer impact. At 750 Kappock St., superintendent Mike Kelly told The Press the building lost elevator ser vice for more than two days until Kelly bought a $7,000 generator and hired his own electrician. The 14-stor y building’s elevator motors have a “loss of voltage sensor,” he said. When voltage drops below the required threshold, the sensor shuts the elevator down as a safety function for passengers and to preser ve the elevator motor. On the afternoon of Aug. 7, the elevators shut down mid-flight with residents inside, Kelly said. He got the residents out without any issues or injuries. Still, the building has more than 40 apartments where older adults or residents with mobility issues live, and Kelly feared for the safety of these residents taking the stairs in extreme heat. He also worried about the potential of an emergency situation where emergency personnel’s response times would be delayed by taking the stairs.
Kelly said he bought the generator because he did not have a timeline from Con Ed on when the voltage would be restored, despite reaching out numerous times. Without answers, he said, it “leaves us no choice but to fend for ourselves and make sure the safety of our residents is a priority.” Kelly called on Con Ed for better communication in the future, and tangible steps for customers to take the next time amenities are impacted by voltage reduction. “We are appreciative of Con Ed’s workers’ efforts,” Kelly said. “I’m not bashing the workers by any means. The lack of communication is not their fault … More so the point is what are we doing to avoid this situation in the future.” Miriam Gomez, a 75-yearold resident at 750 Kappock St. with multiple sclerosis, said she struggled staying inside her apartment, as she usually swims to maintain her physical well-being. “I go to the pool so I can move my legs,” Gomez said, and days without that movement are “horrible.” Other older adults lamented the outages for similar reasons. Lonnie Elson, 71, lives on the third floor of a building on Oxford Avenue and West 236th Street. Elson uses a cane due to a kneecap injur y, and told The Press he cannot walk down steps. He added for himself and other older adults in the area, elevators are a “lifeline.” “I’m stuck until this is pretty much taken care of,” Elson said. Elson’s building also attributed its elevator issue to Con Ed reducing voltage. The property manager sent a letter Aug. 10 to Elson and other residents, stating an elevator repair company was on site to assess the situation. The elevator was repaired by around 2:30 p.m. Aug. 10. According to residents who reached out to The Press or posted on social media, elevator issues also occurred at buildings on Albany Crescent, Independence Avenue, Arlington Avenue, Johnson Avenue, Henr y Hudson Parkway and

Older electrical equipment in buildings is more sensitive to voltage reductions than newer equipment, a Con Ed spokesperson said.

Residents say vital Riverdale area bus service unreliable CONTINUED from page A1 can be the first leg of nearly every public transportation trip. “They are not frequent enough,” Gellman said. “You know, people complain about bus bunching, and it is a little puzzling how that happens.” Similar inconsistencies appear across the Bronx. A 2025 analysis by the city comptroller’s office using MTA data found the median Bronx bus route was on time roughly 73 percent of the time, while the borough’s median bunching rate — the share of buses arriving within a few minutes of the bus ahead of them — was 10.7 percent. At West 231st Street and Broadway, where riders transfer from the 1 train to buses traveling uphill into Riverdale, residents say the uneven gaps between buses can be particularly noticeable. Jeff Siegal, who has lived in Spuyten Duyvil for a decade and frequently rides the bus, typically takes the Bx10 to reach the 1 train. Although he owns a car, he said limited parking around the subway makes the bus a more practical connection.
Siegal said he has long noticed more Bx7 buses than Bx10s at West 231st Street. The distinction matters because portions of the two routes overlap, allowing some Bx7 riders to take either bus, while residents along other portions of the Bx10 route do not have that option. “A lot of people who take the seven bus can also take the 10 bus,” Siegal said. “Me... I can only take the 10 bus. The question is, why isn’t it a little bit more proportionate? There’s so many more sevens than 10s.” Siegal said he filed a complaint directly with the MTA and never heard back. He also raised the issue with local elected officials. Siegal said he was told there had been some discussion about adding more Bx10 buses, though nothing concrete has come of it yet. Gellman raised another concern about the Bx20, which once operated for much more of the day but now runs primarily during weekday rush hours. The route provides a connection from Riverdale to the 1 and A subway lines in Manhattan, and Gellman said its limited schedule leaves riders with fewer options
outside commuting hours. Carroll also said expanded Bx20 service could help alleviate some of the pressure on other routes. “I would love to see the shorter route of the number 20,” she said. “I think it would eliminate a lot of problems if it ran all the time, not just during this hour.” Both Carroll and Gellman said they have raised these concerns directly with the MTA, with little result. Carroll said she has complained on more than one occasion. After a bus passed her by without stopping, she spoke to a driver, who called 511 to file a report on her behalf. She separately submitted a complaint through the MTA’s website. She said she never heard back either time. Commenting on the issue, an MTA spokesperson told The Press “the MTA consistently monitors bus data to ensure optimal service. We appreciate rider feedback on the Bx7 and Bx10 as we continue to evaluate service.” The agency did not respond to questions about what protocol exists for processing and following up on rider complaints, or why Bx20 service hours were

The unpredictability in bus arrivals is compounded, Carroll said, by inaccurate online arrival information. She said she
has checked the MTA’s website and seen a long wait listed, only to watch a bus pass while she was nearby. “I mean, it’s just become really burdensome,” Carroll said.
New residence hall is milestone for Lehman College CONTINUED from page A1 shuttle to campus, he said. Bronx elected officials, including state Sen. Gustavo Rivera, also lauded the new development. Rivera’s office is only a block from Lehman Grand, and he too has seen the former bank building go unused for years. “I am very happy to see any time — that not only the neighborhood that I’ve worked in for so long, but that so many of my constituents have seen — a place that has been laid barren for so long, now be a vibrant place where students can come, can live and can thrive.” Rivera said. To finance Lehman Grand, the school worked with MADDD Equities, a Long-Island based real estate development firm. MADDD bought the building about seven years ago — which included the large part of the former bank that MADDD helped renovate into a Fine Fare Supermarket — MADDD CEO and founder Jorge Madruga explained.
The firm considered making the dorm site a homeless shelter, but Madruga wanted to pivot toward permanent affordable housing that would benefit the community, he said. Lehman got involved about a year ago, the school said. Lehman will pay a minimum of $575,000 annually for operating costs — security, utilities and maintenance, among other expenses — according to an October 2025 meeting resolution from the committee on facilities planning and management, run by members of the CUNY Board of Trustees. The project is structured as a leasehold condominium between MADDD and Lehman, according to the resolution, which means MADDD owns the property and leases it to Lehman over the next 40 years. Lehman doesn’t have to pay anything for the first three years, but in the fourth year it will cost about $1.8 million. In the fifth year the school will pay about $1.9 million, followed by 3 percent escalations annually, the resolution stated.
The dorm is part of an ongoing effort to revive the corridor, Madruga said. First, the Fine Fare, then Lehman Grand, and next, a medical facility at 2532 Grand Concourse next door to the dorm. Madruga said MADDD is hoping the new medical facility, called United Medico, will be done in the next 60 days. “I wanted to make something that the Bronx will be proud of,” Madruga said. Lehman President Fernando Delgado said a residential option for students was in talks for several years, and that realizing the vision took a lot of work and a large team. He thanked the patience and perseverance required of those involved while navigating the city’s building system. “What we finally have is a living space for our students that is useful as a safe and vibrant living space,” GARY JEAN-JUSTE Delgado said. “But more importantly, supports learning, both classroom Lehman’s first ever dorm will house more than 180 students, according learning and social development.” to the college.
Cornell researcher discusses prescribed burns in city CONTINUED from page A1 sive species in city parks, Sprague said. In November 2024, the New York City Fire Department responded to 271 brush fires across the city, the highest number recorded in a two-week period in New York City’s history, according to New York City Emergency Management. The two most severe fires during this time were in Inwood Hill Park, which reportedly burned about four acres, and in Prospect Park, reportedly burning about two acres. The city’s emergency management attributed the abnormal spike to historically dry conditions. There’s usually a big period of plant reproduction after a blaze, Sprague said, and the lab saw this in Inwood Hill Park and Prospect Park, making sure to sample in burned and unburned areas. “After a fire — things are in the soil layer,” Sprague said. “There’s seeds that are ready to explode and take advantage of all this new sunlight that’s making it into the ground, and they’re not competing with all these other plants that exist right above them already.” From 1996 to 2025, the city experienced 938 brush fires, 137 of them in the Bronx, city emergency management said. No prescribed burning initiatives exist actively in the city. The closest is in Nassau County, on Long Island, at the Hempstead Plains Reserve. Hempstead Plains is an East Coast prairie that once
covered 40,000 acres of central Long Island, according to nonprofit Friends of Hempstead Plains, but development pushed it to the brink of extinction. The nonprofit, in partnership with the state department of environmental conservation and other partners, has conducted prescribed burns since 2023. Resident and roundtable attendee Diane Dittrick, a longtime environmental science professor at Barnard College of Columbia University, said prescribed burning has become more relevant due to climate change and an increase in wildfires. She drew attention to Riverdale Park, which contains about 50 forested acres, according to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. “It would be a colossal disaster if there was a raging fire along the Hudson River in the Palisade region,” Dittrick said. “Emotionally, I think it would really create a lot of disturbance among the people.” Dittrick also questioned how those conducting prescribed burns prevent the fires from getting out of control. Sprague referred to work at the Hempstead Plains Reserve. There are mowed, existing paths that run throughout the grassland where fire naturally subsides. At that point, there is a team with shovels and pickaxes that throw dirt onto the fire to put it out completely. Firefighters are also positioned nearby to intervene if needed, Sprague said. When asked about the health risks
of smoke from prescribed fires in the city, Sprague told The Press this is the largest concern of burning in an urban area. He said burns could be done annually or less often, and executed in small areas — an acre or less, depending on the park. He also emphasized communication with nearby residents. Sprague didn’t visit Riverdale to say “We need to burn,” he said, but instead to open a dialogue on why fires are a natural part of the city’s environment. Working with community members is the first step to informing others and working toward a common ground, he said. The city’s dense population makes the possibility of prescribed burning slim, according to city department of parks and recreation press officer Judd Faulkner, who said the fire department does not permit it. Prescribed or controlled burns are a useful tool for many ecosystems, but it is not feasible for New York City due to population density, as well as the air quality and safety risks, Faulkner said in a statement to The Press. “As we face the ongoing changes and effects from climate change, we understand the need for additional considerations and preparation throughout the city,” Faulkner said. “[The city’s department of parks and recreation’s] number Courtesy Aaron Sexton one priority is the safety of all New Yorkers, and as an agency we would not take A scorched tree trunk in Prospect Park from the November 2023 brush any action which could potentially put fire, with new growth visible in the surrounding soil, as observed by the public at risk.” Cornell University’s Lab of Urban Plant Ecology.
NYPD announces NYCHA crime drop, residents see safety issues CONTINUED from page A1 during the day, but one of her biggest concerns is what she described as a lack of cameras in some areas, particularly stairwells. She also worries about walking beneath the scaffolding surrounding portions of the development after dark. NYCHA told The Press two CCTV capital projects at Marble Hill Houses were completed in 2022 and 2023. A facade repair project is also underway, and the scaffolding surrounding buildings can be removed once that work is complete in June 2028. Concerns are heightened by entrance doors that are frequently left propped open or have broken locks, Gallardo said, allowing people who do not live in the building to enter. Gallardo said the entrance door and intercom in her building have repeatedly malfunctioned. When the door is secured, she said, her key sometimes fails to open it. She recalled returning from the hospital with her son on one occasion, only to discover that her key would not open the recently repaired entrance door. “I was stuck down here, and then I called 911 to see if they could come,” Gallardo said. “They told me to call a
locksmith, but it was like four in the morning.” For Otera Hammons, 30, another single mother at Marble Hill Houses, darkness is also one of the most immediate concerns. Hammons, who has a 3-year-old son, said she generally feels comfortable during the day but worries more after dark when outdoor lights are not working — a common occurrence. Hammons said the problem is particularly noticeable during the summer, when more people are outside later in the evening. She also described entrance doors being forced or propped open, another condition she said undermines her sense of security. The NYPD said officers from the 50th precinct routinely conduct directed patrols at Marble Hill Houses, including foot posts and officers assigned to patrol the development in sector cars. NYCHA acknowledged that keeping building security systems working can be difficult. The authority said ongoing funding constraints and repeated vandalism are the primary challenges to keeping doors, locks and intercoms fully functional. “Resident safety is paramount for NYCHA, and the authority is commit-
ted to fostering a sense of security for residents in their homes and buildings,” an agency spokesperson told The Riverdale Press. “We have a longstanding partnership with the NYPD and will continue to work collaboratively on matters related to public safety.” NYCHA encouraged residents experiencing maintenance problems to contact its Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771 or submit work orders through the MyNYCHA application. In 2023, Marble Hill was among 23 NYCHA developments to receive upgrades as part of a $24.1 million citywide security investment, the authority said. The upgrades included new closed-circuit television cameras, layered access-control installations, entrance renovations and lighting repairs. Additional improvements at building entrances, NYCHA said, included enhanced exterior lighting, intercom systems, stainless-steel or steel-reinforced aluminum doors and storefronts, and layered access-control systems. Yet three years after that investment, Bronx Community Board 8 identified the same unresolved gaps at Marble Hill in its Fiscal Year 2027 Statement of Needs, writing that NYCHA required sufficient personnel to adequately monitor its cameras.
GARY JEAN-JUSTE
Residents say doors to buildings in Marble Hill Houses are malfunctioning. “There are security concerns as main doors to buildings do not have proper entry security such as working locks and buzzers,” the board wrote, calling for increased city funding for outdoor cameras and new entry-door locks at the complex. According to NYCHA’s online capi-
tal projects and needs tracker, Marble Hill has an estimated $8.3 million in capital needs related to safety and security over the next five years — a figure that rises to $14 million over 20 years, with no clear timeline for when the work will be funded or completed.

National Night Out Against Crime brings neighbors, NYPD together By Michelle Mullen mmullen@riverdalepress.com The smell of hot dogs and burgers fresh off the grill wafted down Kingsbridge Avenue Aug. 4 during an annual community celebration hosted by the New York Police Department’s 50th Precinct. The jamboree was part of National Night Out Against Crime, a countr ywide campaign to strengthen ties between community members and local police in a relaxed, festive setting. Held on the first Tuesday in August, the initiative was marked by each NYPD precinct across more than 70 locations. The goal of National Night Out, according to the city, is to promote police-community partnerships to help make neighborhoods “safer, more caring places to live.” National Night Out dates back to 1984, when the National Association of Town Watch launched the campaign with law enforcement agencies, neighborhood watch groups, civic organizations and volunteers, according to the organization. The first event involved 2.5 million people in 400 communities across 23 states, the association said. What began as an effort centered on neighbors turning on their porch lights has since grown into block parties, festivals, cookouts, youth activities and public safety events nationwide. On a humid August eve-
ning, hundreds took to a block party, just across from the 50th precinct building at 3450 Kingsbridge Ave. Ed Green, Bronx Community Board 8’s Public Safety Committee chair, highlighted the importance of neighborhood partnerships in maintaining local safety. “It’s good that the community has an opportunity to show solidarity with the 50th precinct, and get to know some of the officers, and get to see that they’re neighbors like themselves, normal human beings,” he said. The free event featured activities for children and families, including a bounce house, games, face painting and a Mister Softee ice cream truck. Officers took to the dance floor and joined kids in a small basketball game, sharing smiles and laughs while blasting music played throughout. Scattered all through the block were neighbors mingling with law enforcement officers. Several community organizations staffed information tables, offering resources on public safety, emergency preparedness and local ser vices. Officers were able to use the event to spend time talking with residents outside of emergency situations, reflecting the event’s goal of building stronger relationships through positive community interaction.
Pablo De La Cruz and his 12-year-old daughter Paulina cooled off with ice cream from a Mister Softee truck parked across from the 50th precinct, one of several free treats offered to families during National Night Out Aug. 4. Like most other children, Paulina and her brother Christian opted for a sprinkle cone. Their mother, Carolyn De La Cruz, said the evening offered a chance to familiarize themselves with local officers, saying, “the kids can see their faces that they may recognize — they could ask for help.”

Members of the city’s Community Emergency Response Team, operated by the New York City Office of Emergency Management, shared preparedness tools and safety information during National Night Out Aug. 4. Volunteers demonstrated equipment such as flood detection alarms and guided residents through hands-on CPR practice using training dummies. Made up of trained civilians, CERT teams assist both residents and first responders during emergencies, offering support in situations ranging from severe weather to large-scale disasters.
Officers from the 50th precinct served food fresh off the grill as families from across the neighborhood eagerly lined up. All free of charge, the initiative is part of fostering trust between residents and law enforcement while raising public safety awareness, according to the NYPD.
Children lined up for turns in a brightly colored bounce house set up near the 50th precinct during National Night Out. The inflatable attraction was among several activities designed to bring families together, creating a lively atmosphere where younger attendees could play while parents spoke with officers and community members.
Council member Eric Dinowitz and state Sen. Robert Jackson were among the elected officials who spoke at the event — where a representative of the mayor’s office awarded the 50th precinct with a proclamation declaring Aug. 4 National Night Out Day. Earlier in the day, a representative for Gov. Kathy Hochul also presented Commander Amadeo Oktrova with a similar proclamation.

RELAX... WE’RE ON IT.
In July 2025, 26-year-old Adrian Nolasco lay in a hospital bed thousands of miles from home after losing his right leg in a hit-and-run in Tanzania. This November, the former Bronx School of Law and Finance student plans to run 26.2 miles across New York City. Since getting a prosthetic in December, Nolasco, who now lives in Harlem, finished a 5K at Yankee Stadium and learned to swim as an amputee days before his first triathlon in California, where he placed third in his categor y. Now he’s training nearly daily for the New York City Marathon this fall, hoping to post a time that will help put him on a path toward qualifying for the U.S. Paralympic triathlon team. “I really do think I could be one of the greatest Paralympic athletes for triathlon ever,” Nolasco said, adding because he has less than a year of adaptive training under his belt, the 2032 Games in Sydney, Australia seem a more realistic goal than the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. Before the crash, Nolasco was working to earn a master’s degree in international relations and diplomacy at the School for International Training in Vermont, and interning with the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes, a peacebuilding organization in South Africa. That part of his old life has been more difficult to recover. “Honestly, I don’t have the confidence for that anymore,” Nolasco said, adding he now works as a social worker with the Fortune Society, a nonprofit focused on community reentr y ser vices for formerly incarcerated individuals. “I don’t have the confidence to leave and go to another countr y and work.” Although a career competing in athletics of any kind was never the original plan, he said, sports had been part of his life since childhood — one of the few constants through unstable times. Nolasco was removed from his mother’s home at 7 years old and spent much of his childhood cycling through foster care, group homes and, later, homeless shelters. He arrived at the Bronx School of Law and Finance, located on the Kennedy Campus in Marble Hill, as a teen in 2016 to register himself for classes, alone. It was there that he met Doris Diaz-Negron, a longtime school counselor. She remembers Nolasco as a kid who rarely missed a day despite ever ything working against him. She’s remained

After months spent relearning how to walk, Adrian Nolasco now trains five or six days a week with his sights set on the Paralympics. a critical support system for Nolasco since he graduated, with Nolasco saying she’s the closest thing he has to a mother. “I’m always in awe of ever ything that he’s been able to accomplish,” she said. His ambition to become a Paralympian marks a sharp change from last summer, after a brief holiday in Tanzania ended with a life-saving above-the-knee amputation. While riding on the back of a motorcycle, Nolasco was struck by a driver who fled, shattering Nolasco’s right leg and leaving him critically injured on the roadway. Following the amputation, his initial goal — after learning to walk again — was to preser ve as much of his significantly active lifestyle as possible. He began working out before he had even left the hospital, sometimes using his crutches to exercise without his nurses knowing. When The Riverdale Press first inter viewed him in August 2025, he was using those crutches and raising money for a Genium X4 prosthetic, which was not covered by Medicaid. Through hundreds of GoFundMe contributions, his savings and taking out a hefty loan, he was able to purchase the Genium X4, a computerized prosthetic knee designed to automatically adjust to changes in terrain, walking speed and movement. Nolasco described the first time he tried a prosthetic as feeling “so weird,” saying he was able to walk but could not feel his foot. “I also just wasn’t mentally — I guess, probably accepting the fact that my leg is gone,” he said. “And it hit me when I looked in the mirror and I was tr ying to take those steps.” By late April, he was moving more freely again, training five or six days a week, sometimes twice a day, with a goal of measuring himself not
against other amputees, but against what his own body had been capable of before the crash. After completing a 5K in May, he decided on a triathlon, explaining it was more attainable than running in a typical marathon or race because triathlons are centered around endurance rather than speed. He contacted the U.S. Paralympic program, which led him to a Dare2tri training camp, an adaptive sports organization. Until then, he had little experience with the technical side of the sport, he said. Just two days before his first race, he was still learning how to swim competitively, use a wetsuit and bike shoes, and move through the transitions between each portion of a triathlon. He also had to learn to swim in open water — a job that fell to Sydney Miyatake, a swim instructor who volunteers at the camp and met Nolasco bobbing in the middle of the bay. “I never once even remembered that he only had one leg while we were in the water,” Miyatake said. Nolasco swims without his prosthetic, meaning he has to approach the water by hopping before leaving the leg behind. Once submerged, he said, the water gives him a sense of balance that is more difficult to find on land. The competition kicked off with a 750-meter swim, followed by a roughly 10-mile bike ride and 3.5-mile run. Nolasco had not swum in the ocean in years, much less raced through it with one leg. “I just told myself something,” he said. “This is not your body, you’re just living in it. So forget your emotions.” He kept going and finished third in his categor y. Miyatake, who also raced that day, recalled him saying after ward, “I can do something with this.”

Goalkeeper Molly Brunk is a senior from Fairfax, Virginia, who started playing soccer when she was 4 years old. Last season, she set a program record for career shutouts with 19 games, and this season she is four games away from tying the program record for most career wins. Brunk, an exercise science major, told The Press the accolades don’t matter to her. Her focus is putting the team first, and said breaking records comes from the combined efforts of her teammates. “I’m here to play the game,” she said. Brunk said senior year is sentimental for her. The team has become like family, a bond that Brunk helped foster. Still, her priority remains taking in every moment, every game. “We have very high potential,” Brunk said. “We have started already a step ahead than we have in all our previous seasons. I’m just excited to play my last season with my best friends.”

5 things residents should know about ICE presence in the city By Michelle Mullen mmullen@riverdalepress.com Federal immigration enforcement activity has increased across New York City in recent weeks, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents reported in several boroughs, including areas close to greater Riverdale. Just outside of Marble Hill, federal agents have been spotted in Inwood, according to multiple news sources including News12 and CBS News. During one encounter near Seaman Avenue and Isham Street on July 31, video circulating on social media showed a masked federal agent approaching a woman who was recording agents with her cellphone before she was pepper sprayed. She was later identified as 72-year-old Linda Wolff. The activity comes amid a broader expansion of federal immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump’s administration and follows several high-profile encounters in the Bronx. With ICE activity drawing increased attention across the city, here’s what residents should know about the agency, its authority and the rights they have when encountering immigration officers.
History of ICE
Launched in 2003, ICE formed as part of the government’s reorganization following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This restructuring created the Department of Homeland Security and moved immigration enforcement responsibilities previously handled by the Immigration and Naturalization Ser vice and other federal agencies into newly created departments. ICE became responsible for immigration enforcement within the United States as well as investigations involving certain cross-border crimes. Its responsibilities include identifying, arresting, detaining and removing some noncitizens who federal authorities determine are subject to removal under U.S. immigration law. ICE is separate from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which is primarily responsible for enforcement at and near the nation’s borders and ports of entr y.
Michelle Mullen
Unless they present a warrant signed by a judge, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are prohibited from entering areas in businesses marked private – leading some storefronts to put up “private area” signs in their windows.
ICE in New York City
As a federal agency, ICE can conduct enforcement operations in New York City regardless of policies adopted by the city. New York City’s laws, however, restrict cooperation between municipal agencies and federal immigration authorities. City agencies, including the New York Police Department, generally do not assist with federal immigration enforcement or share certain personal information with ICE except under limited circumstances. Many city agencies also do not ask about immigration status when providing ser vices, and many programs are available regardless of a person’s status. Those protections do not prevent ICE from independently making arrests or conducting other enforcement activities within the

five boroughs.
What ICE can do
ICE agents can approach and question people in public spaces, including streets and portions of businesses that are open to customers or visitors. When it comes to arrests, agents can detain someone if they have probable cause to believe there is an immigration violation. At workplaces, agents do not need a warrant to enter areas such as lobbies and storefronts, but are not permitted to enter any areas marked private without a proper warrant, unless an employer or another autho-
rized person gives them permission. In order to enter private areas, agents must present a judicial warrant, signed by a judge, rather than an administrative warrant, which ICE issues internally without judicial review.
What ICE can’t do
An ICE administrative warrant does not give agents the same authority as a judicial warrant to enter private spaces. At private homes, residents do not have to open the door or allow agents inside based solely on an administrative ICE warrant, ac-
cording to the city. If agents say they have a warrant, residents can ask them to slide it underneath the door or hold it against a window so they can determine whether it was signed by a judge. ICE agents also cannot require someone to voluntarily give up constitutional rights simply because they have been approached. People have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer questions about where they were born, whether they are U.S. citizens or how they entered the countr y. Individuals can ask to speak with an attorney be-
fore signing documents and should not lie to agents or provide false documents.
Workshops for more information
New Yorkers who want to learn how those rights apply in different situations can attend Know Your Rights trainings offered by immigration and civil liberties organizations. Hands Off NYC and the New York Civil Liberties Union offer a free 90-minute virtual training once a month. The program covers what to do when encountering immigration agents at
home or in the community, how to identify ICE and other federal agents and how people can respond during an encounter. Participants also learn what information they may want to keep available and ways to assist family members and neighbors. No legal background is required. The New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs also provides Know Your Rights materials and other immigration resources. Information is available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Polish and Russian.

Opinion Editorial
This August, take some time to be a kid again
A
ugust, for many, is a bittersweet time of year. It brings with it sweltering days that gradually taper off into September, and the usual list of back-toschool preparations. As August descends upon us, so too does the end of summer and the beginning of cooler, often busier days. For many college students, August marks the beginning of a new semester. For New York City’s younger students and the professionals who teach them, it is the last stretch of that hardearned break. While summer break is a time students and educators alike may look forward to, it can also be a time fraught with certain pressures for young people and their families. For college and high school students, summer may be filled with test preparations, applications, competitive internships or intense sports. For younger learners, parents may spend summers searching for ways to keep their kids engaged and active while school is out of session. Yet, as everyday lives become increasingly hectic, and the pressure to fill any downtime with productive activities becomes a persistent force in our society, August presents a time for us to pause. Internships and camps are winding down, and many local families find themselves in a momentary lull between the height of summer break and the start of a new school year. This brief stretch of time can be more important than we often give it credit for. It is a moment in which, regardless of one’s age, we can soak up the last rays of summer sun and allow ourselves some time to experience the world with childlike wonder again. Allowing yourself to be a kid for just a moment this month can look different for everyone. College and high school students
might take a step away from the pressures of working toward their next step, whatever it may be. They can take a break from thinking about their futures and allow themselves to be curious about the present. Rediscover an old hobby they haven’t picked up since their younger years. Spend time outdoors with no objective other than to take it all in and get their hands dirty. For young students, it may mean spending unstructured time with family or friends. For educators, parents of students or any other adult who just needs a break before the next season begins, it may mean time spent in good company or completely alone, doing something that simply makes them happy in the moment in an uncomplicated way. It may simply mean taking a mid-day nap, the way they did when they were young learners themselves. As our community prepares to embark on the fall season, and the various realities it brings to us all, we each deserve a moment to strip away the stresses and judgements that live inside us. We often hear the advice to “let kids be kids,” especially during summer breaks when there can be immense pressure to ensure young people remain sharp and competitive. But there is value in allowing some space for the child in all of us, no matter how long ago we graduated from school. It is important for all of us, across generations, to find simple moments of joy and to step away from the demands of our lives — demands for our productivity, or for everything we fill our time with to have some larger meaning or tangible “value.” It is invaluable for us all to take the time not just to produce, but to create. Not just to recharge, but to truly rest. Not just to accomplish, but to attempt something new.
Letters to the editor
‘Better late than never’ may be too late! To the editor,
Kudos to The Riverdale Press for its editorial concerning climate change — “Better late than never for climate resilience” — a worthy wake-up call and a call for action. A call to advocate for green energy; for healthy air, oceans, forests and
soil; and to prepare for the threat of climate disruptions by adapting infrastructure on a local scale. A call to “mitigate and adapt in the longer term.” Unfortunately, while “climate resilience” is a necessity, “better late than never” may be too late, if we fail to reduce emissions in the nearterm.

Paraphrasing NASA’s FAQ “Is it too late to prevent climate change?” The Press reported that “the impacts of human activity on the Earth’s climate cannot be reversed on the timescale of human beings alive today” — a shocking revelation. But NASA elaborated further: “ever y little bit of avoided future temperature increases results in less warming that would other wise persist for essentially forever. The benefits of reduced greenhouse gas emissions occur on the same timescale as the political decisions that lead to those reductions.”’ In other words, in a timeframe effectively in real-time — something to note. The Press proffered “how can we look out for ourselves and our neighbors in ways that might help us mitigate and adapt in the longer term?” and by “advocating for the solutions we’ve all likely heard of before. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by turning
to green energy.” But we’ve been advocating for green energy — clean energy — for more than 50 years. The first Earth Day, the Clean Air Act and the EPA were established in 1970. Yet, by 2024, clean energy comprised merely 20 percent of the world’s total energy supply; 80 percent of total primar y consumption was generated from fossil fuels. The same minimal impact can be noted despite advocating for our planet’s oceans, forests and soil. But, while political decisions failed to produce year-overyear reductions in global carbon emissions, economic downtowns actually did so in real-time. The Covid-19 economic slowdown cut global emissions by 1.8 billion metric tons in 2020, more than a five percent decrease. Emissions decreased more than two percent during the 2008/2009 recession while a cumulative decrease of more than six percent oc-
curred during the 1980 three-year recession. Emissions decreased in the 1991 and 1974 recessions as well. The tie between consumer consumption and carbon emissions is undeniable — especially for the carbon footprint of purchases and activity. No, we need not activate a recession, but we must select products fabricated from lower embodied carbon materials, those processed and manufactured emitting fewer carbon emissions; purchased from local or regional manufacturing sources to avoid excess transportation emissions. We need to reduce our personal carbon footprints. While resilience is imperative, our immediate focus must be on slowing the pace of global warming by reducing carbon emissions in real-time. As NASA implied, the benefits of reduced emissions occur in a nearterm timescale. BILL CAPLAN
Senator Cassidy’s betrayal of Americans To the editor,
Republican senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a gastroenterologist, voted to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretar y of the Department of Health and Human Ser vices in 2025 despite Kennedy’s years of spreading falsehoods about vaccines and his lack not only of a degree in medicine but his earning a bachelor’s degree in histor y and literature and not in any scientific field. As recently as last week, in an inter view with Dana Bash on CNN, he spouted a series of outrageous lies about the Covid vaccine and insisted completely falsely that the United States’ death rate from Covid was higher than that of any other countr y. Yet Senator Cassidy has done nothing to tr y to remove Kennedy from a position in which he has caused great harm, in part by continuing to spout ridiculous lies. Kennedy has been responsible for the significant decline in childhood vaccinations, which has led to a resurgence of measles, which had been virtually wiped out in this countr y by the year 2000, and has resulted in the greatest number of measles
cases in the U.S. in more than three decades. Senator Cassidy has now betrayed Americans once again, by voting to confirm Todd Blanche as the attorney general of the United States. The senator’s reasons for doing so are breathtakingly nonsensical: first, because, he said, Blanche will be able to oppose the president’s unlawful requests, though to date he has not opposed any of them and has actively worked to indict people innocent of any crime, and second, he said, because if he did not vote to confirm Blanche, the president would probably nominate a worse candidate. A “no” vote would have sent the message that the president must nominate a far more qualified candidate, not a worse candidate. Senator Cassidy will not be returning to the Senate in Januar y because, thanks to the president’s endorsement of his opponent in the primar y, he lost his bid for another term. His legacy will forever be severely tarnished by his failures to oppose both Kennedy and Blanche. MIRIAM LEVINE HELBOK
