Lawmakers demand swift action to fix intersection n Help could come in the form of a traffic light, or at the very least, better police enforcement
‘Whether it’s something that’s gone wrong because there are more people walking, or because people are being more risky, or because the streets aren’t safer, we’ve got to get to the bottom of it.’
By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@riverdalepress.com
It once featured a stretch of dilapidated houses in a neighborhood known simply as Puddlers Row — “puddlers” the name given to those who worked in Spuyten Duyvil’s foundry, Johnson Ironworks. The dozen or so houses stretched along between Kappock Street and Johnson Avenue — roadways that were more neighborhood streets than thoroughfares at the time. The southern end of Kappock suddenly veers east to meet Johnson, itself on a rather steep decline as part of the hilly environment that makes views of the city wonderful, but makes traveling through there problematic. JEffREy Puddlers Row, like most DINOwITz other things, became a victim of time and the need for growth. The houses were razed in the early 1950s to make way for what is now the 25-story 555 Kappock building. And that country-like intersection joining Kappock and Johnson became one of Spuyten Duyvil’s most heavily trafficked streets not just to cars, but also for two local buses and three express buses that rumble through almost every few minutes.

A wreath adorns the intersection of Kappock Street and Johnson Avenue where an express bus driver hit Ruth Mullen while she used the crosswalk. Lawmakers demand the city’s transportation department take swift action to ensure pedestrians like Mullen are safe when they are trying to do nothing more than just cross the street. It was one of those buses, in fact, navigating the tricky turn from Kappock to Johnson that claimed the life of Ruth Mullen on the evening of Sept. 7. Mullen, who had lived in the nearby
Winston Churchill co-op for more than 25 years, was using the crosswalk on Johnson, according to police, when the driver hit her. The 68-year-old died on the scene.
Mullen was known for her writing and her political activity, but what she really wanted was a traffic light on this intersection. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz pushed for the city to add a stop sign some years ago, but even during a news conference the state lawmaker held near the site two days later, downtown-bound buses could be observed rolling through the stop sign, and swinging through the left turn onto Johnson without even touching the brake. “I don’t know exactly what happened Tuesday,” Dinowitz said. “I’m not here to point fingers at anybody. I’m not here to blame a driver, or the DOT, or anybody because we don’t have all the SWIFT ACTION, page A4

uth Mullen was known in many circles throughout her life. But in this corner of the Bronx, she’s probably best recognized for her strong political activism. That may have been most visible when Alessandra Biaggi unseated Jeffrey Klein from the state senate three years ago. Ruth worked tirelessly on that campaign, husband Jim Bradley says, coordinating many of those efforts with the Riverdale Huddle — a local group of politically active women. But Ruth’s life was tragically cut short last week while simply trying to cross the street in front of her Johnson Avenue home. Police say a Metropolitan Transportation Authority express bus was rounding what many consider a dangerous corner with Kappock Street at around 8:30 p.m., on Sept. 7, and struck Ruth in the crosswalk. Ruth was 68. The incident was all the more devastating since Ruth advocated for traffic lights in this problematic intersection for many years. Instead, elected officials like Jeffrey Dinowitz secured a third stop sign for the intersection — one neighbor says buses and cars generally roll through anyway. When news broke early Wednesday morning about Ruth’s passing, one of the first people to call Jim was the state senator. “Alessandra told me that she wouldn’t have been elected without Ruth,” Bradley RUTH MULLEN, page A4

In addition to political activism, Jim Bradley says his wife Ruth Mullen devoted her life to the publishing and film industries. Ruth was struck and killed by an express bus last week while crossing Johnson Avenue near what many consider to be a dangerous intersection with Kappock Street.
Taekwondo master fears COVID knockout punch n Raj Rajput owes thousands to a landlord facing his own struggle keeping up with bills By JOSEPH DE LA CRUZ jdelacruz@riverdalepress.com
Raj Rajput is used to dealing with tough situations. But the taekwondo master faces a new challenge, and it’s not exactly of his own making. Owner of Warriors Taekwondo at 5904 Riverdale Ave., Rajput — like many others — was forced to shut down as the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the city. No students meant no income, and because of that, Rajput has fallen behind on his rent. A lot. Now, as the world slowly reopens, Rajput is trying to catch up. But his landlord — and longtime friend — Lenny Morse has had struggles of his own thanks to the pandemic. And the owner of the neighboring vacuum sales and repair store may not even be able to provide Rajput with the one weapon he needs more than anything else: time.

“I did not close the business,” Rajput said. “I was forced to close by the state. And, you know, that’s the only way I earn a living.” The state classifies Rajput’s business as a gym, which was forced to close for months thanks to an executive order made by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo as a way to control the spread of COVID-19. That left dark not only his North Riverdale location, but two others in Manhattan. And one of them — found on the Marble Hill portion of Broadway — was forced to shutter permanently. “When we started, we had a wonderful business with three schools,” Rajput said. “But I closed one down because of the pandemic. I couldn’t have survived if I didn’t end it.”

It’s probably not the best idea to put your wallet on top of your shopping cart at the check-out. One woman could’ve used this advice when shopping at BJ’s Wholesale Center on West 237th Street on Aug. 21. She placed her wallet on the top part of her shopping cart after paying, police said, and then noticed her wallet missing on her way to the exit. The wallet reportedly contained another $1,600 cash and her residency card.

A mobile robbery
University Avenue turned into a scene from a Fast & Furious movie Aug. 23 when a group of scooter-riding thieves reportedly stole another man’s wheels. Cops said the mobile heist took place just before 1:30 a.m., when someone riding his scooter was surrounded by four others on a pair of scooters. One of the other men reportedly flashed a silver handgun, forcing the victim to jump off his 2019 red scooter and run away. Police are looking at surveillance footage from a nearby camera.

Picking a random car to rob can be a risky business, because you never really know what you’re going to get. One perp learned this lesson the hard way when he held up a driver Aug. 27, walking away with only $50 worth of mundane items like measuring tape. The incident took place near the 3000 block of Tibbett Avenue just before 1:30 p.m., cops said. The driver was heading back to his office from a construction site on Riverdale Avenue, waiting at a stoplight, when a man started banging on his passenger-side window, reportedly flashing a handgun. The man then smashed the window, according to the police, demanding, “Give me everything you got.” He then reached into the car, took the driver’s bookbag, and hopped into a nearby dark-colored car. The underwhelming loot inside the bag was nothing more than measuring tape and business cards. Police have some solid leads on this robbery with video footage of the scene. They also have a description of the reported robber, identifying him as Asian, standing 6-foot-1, and weighing 200 pounds. He was reportedly wearing a black face mask and hoodie.
In a changing world, full time office space makes little sense. Why pay for space and other significant expenses when not actually using it? And being microbial clean is more important than ever before.

Van Cortlandt Village bank won’t shutter after all n Ridgewood Savings finds subsidies with CB8 to keep Sedgwick open By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
Memories are still raw for some over the closing earlier this year of a Chase Bank branch in Knolls Crescent — a move that drew fierce protests from neighbors there, many who are senior citizens and depend on bricksand-mortar institutions instead of using the internet or a smartphone. Those efforts were unsuccessful, but it looks like there’s a much happier ending in Van Cortlandt Village after the Ridgewood Savings Bank there announced it has reversed a previous decision it would close next month, and instead renewed its Sedgwick Avenue lease. Knolls Crescent neighbors argued they needed their branch open because it was the only financial institution serving the geographically isolated area. Those living near the Jerome Park Reservoir shared similar sentiments, saying their closest banks would be as far away as Broadway or even Norwood. It looked like history was doomed to repeat itself for Van Cortlandt Village. But being part of a smaller regional bank chain — and not the massive billion-dollar JPMorgan Chase conglomerate — had significant advantages for Ridgewood, opening the door for groups like Community Board 8, the Van Cortlandt Jewish Center across the street, and even Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz to find the resources that would allow the bank to stay. “This went on all summer,” said Nick Fazio, chair of CB8’s economic development committee. “This was all I did, so I can’t tell you how relieved I
HIRAM ALEJANDRO DURÁN
Until a couple of weeks ago, it looked as if Ridgewood Savings Bank in Van Cortlandt Village would be just the latest local financial institution to close its doors. But thanks to an effort led by Community Board 8 and others, Ridgewood renewed its lease to keep its 3899 Sedgwick Ave., branch open. feel that we got this. It was a long process. We got a lot of help from a lot of people. And yeah, we got the branch to stay open.” Keeping it open meant finding some financial help from the state. New York’s banking development district program, according to the department’s website, is designed to encourage the establishment of bank branches in areas where there is a “demonstrated need for banking services.” Banks that join the program are eligible for public subsidies and other benefits intended to persuade financial institutions to open — and stay — in underbanked areas. When it announced its closing last May, the Queens-based chain said it was centralizing this branch and another one in Norwood into a new single
location on East 204th Street. Ridgewood’s market share in Van Cortlandt Village was so low, Fazio said, bank executives figured its customers there would simply travel the mile or so on the other side of the reservoir to Norwood instead. Those executives were wrong, Fazio added. The community was most certainly not on board with this plan. Soon after Ridgewood announced the closure, Fazio said, CB8 sent a few of its members who live in the area — Julia Gomez, Ed Green and Sergio Villaverde — to go door-to-door and find out what the sentiment of their neighbors was. “And the response was, ‘We really need you to try to keep the bank open,’” Fazio said. Additionally, the unofficial CB8 survey crew found out that the area had a
large senior citizen population thanks to some census data. “Both the qualitative and quantitative data told us that this was going to be really difficult for the community to sustain,” Fazio said. “It was going to be really hurtful and harmful to the community, to the residents.” Domenico Ciacco — Ridgewood’s community reinvestment officer — admits he also received a lot of negative feedback from local organizations about how closing the branch would be harmful to the community, citing its geographic isolation from Norwood and other banks. “There’s not a lot of banks around there,” Ciacco said. “And especially for the small businesses that do deposits in cash, it would have been really hard for them to continue their day-to-day banking without having Ridgewood Savings
Bank in the location that we’re at. Luckily, I work for a community bank that allows me to voice the community’s concerns, and really try to brainstorm on ideas to keep financial institution or ATM availability for the community.” Two other Ridgewood branches elsewhere are in banking development district-designated areas, Ciacco said, so this program might ultimately help other neighborhoods, too. But the application process isn’t easy, Fazio said. So, he and Ciacco spent the last few months coordinating with the borough president’s office, the Bronx Overall Development Corp., and others to help get the extensive materials together. “There was a ton of information that they wanted in that application,” Fazio said. “All kinds of demographic information, quantitative data. Some of it that we had, but it wasn’t necessarily configured the way that (financial services) wanted it. So, we leaned on a lot of our community partners for help.” The state financial services department still needs to officially approve Ridgewood’s application, Ciacco said, but it looks like they’re leaning strongly in favor. And all that negative feedback? Ciacco says it’s turned positive since Ridgewood announced the Sedgwick bank was staying open. This experience was very different from the Knolls Crescent Chase Bank, Fazio said, because Ridgewood actually seems to care about the communities they serve. Along that theme, Ridgewood has made it clear it wants to continue with outreach and be more active in the neighborhood. “We’re more than happy to partner with them because they were just so tremendous throughout this process,” Fazio said. “I really hope that the community supports them for the effort that they put in, which was a different experience from what we experienced in the past with bank closures.”
PRESS POINTS It’s been a better year so far for crime Crime is down nearly 6 percent in the 50th Precinct compared to last year — following a citywide trend that also boasted better numbers when it comes to shootings and murders. Just under 630 crimes were reported in the 50th Precinct through Sept. 12, according to statistics provided by the New York Police Department, compared to 665 in 2020.
By Michael hinMan
Burglary is down 33 percent with grand larceny auto dropping 21 percent. Felony assault dipped nearly 13 percent, while there has been just one reported murder in the precinct compared to two by this time last year. Citywide, burglary was down 27 percent in August while robberies dropped 11 percent. Shootings fell 31 percent last month across New York City, while murders dropped nearly
9 percent to 53. In the 5-0, there have been nine shooting incidents so far this year compared to six in 2020, with 10 victims compared to six. The precinct also reported 18 hate crimes in 2021 compared to just one last year.
Record numbers return to subway Commuters are slowly finding their way back to the city’s mass transit system as the first
day of school Monday gave the Metropolitan Transportation Authority its biggest single-day ridership totals since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Subway ridership hit 2.77 million on Monday, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul, while another 122,500 found their way to a Metro-North train. “These record ridership numbers show that New Yorkers are returning to school, the work place, and bringing our economy back with them,” Ho-
chul said, in a release. Monday’s numbers broke the previous record set the Friday before of 2.72 million riders. Still, that’s a far cry from the 5.5 million who would take the subway before the pandemic. When COVID-19 first shut down the city in April 2020, ridership fell to just 300,000.

Mullen wanted traffic light at troubled intersection SWIFT ACTION from page A1 facts. But we have one fact, and that is that a valued member of our community is not with us anymore. And that is horrible.” But the Assemblyman added he was not there to just add sentiment, but instead to take action. He called on the city’s transportation department to not just take its usual position of saying it would conduct a traffic study, but instead to act now. “Examine this quickly,” Dinowitz said. “Don’t do a year-long study, and then possibly do something. But really move quickly.” Dinowitz stopped short of demanding a traffic light at this intersection, but his state senate counterpart — Alessandra Biaggi — didn’t. She told The Riverdale Press that Mullen wanted a traffic light for that intersection, and that’s exactly what should happen. And also some speed cameras and other safety measures, too. At the same time, the city — and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority — need to spend a lot more time enforcing the traffic laws that already exist, she added, especially as injuries, deaths and other data involving vehicles and pedestrians start to tick up despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Vision Zero plan designed to make streets safer. “That means that something has gone wrong,” Biaggi said. “Whether it’s

An express bus shoots around the corner at the intersection of Spuyten Duyvil’s Kappock Street and Johnson Avenue, where local political activist Ruth Mullen was killed Sept. 7. Lawmakers want the city’s transportation department to move quickly to ensure pedestrians like Mullen are safe when using the crosswalk there. something that’s gone wrong because there are more people walking, or because people are being more risky, or because the streets aren’t safer, we’ve got to get to the bottom of it.” As far as the senator knows, however, Mullen was doing everything right that Tuesday evening. She used
a crosswalk, wasn’t reported to have been distracted by her phone, and did everything she needed to make the trip across safely. “The fact that she did everything right, and this still happened, really sends chills down your spine,” Biaggi said.
Community Board 8’s traffic and transportation committee welcomed a new chair Monday night, Deb Travis, who called Mullen’s death “particularly tragic” and cited a need for something to be done. Just not by her committee, at least this month. Citing a “full agenda” focused on recent flooding caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida earlier this month, Travis said her committee will discuss it in October “to make sure to give it the time and attention it deserves.” Travis did not return multiple requests for comment. Biaggi and other electeds are scheduled to meet with DOT commissioner Henry Gutman on Friday, with plans to sit down with de Blasio, too. While some might consider traffic safety issues a city problem, there’s a lot that can be done at the state level, the senator said, to make pedestrians and drivers feel more secure when trying to get from one point to another. “There are a lot of different bills that have been introduced, namely by my colleague, Andrew Gounardes, because a lot of the traffic accidents that end up being fatal are happening in Brooklyn,” Biaggi said. Gounardes introduced a package of safety bills last year that included safety ratings for vehicles showing how likely they could harm pedestrians or bicyclists, relaxing burdens
of proof for prosecutors looking to charge careless drivers, and forcing any intersection — whether it has an active crosswalk or not — to be a zone where vehicles always have to yield to pedestrians. And then there’s Sammy’s Law, named after 12-year-old Samuel Eckstein, who was killed by a reckless driver in Brooklyn in 2013. The bill — which would allow New York City to lower speed limits without getting approval from Albany first — was introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman last December, has passed the senate, but is still stuck in committee at the Assembly. Dinowitz is a co-sponsor of the lower chamber version of the bill, and pushed for his colleagues to get it passed when they return to the capital in January. “I shouldn’t be lowering the speed limits,” the Assemblyman said. “The city council should be.” While Mullen would likely be happy to finally see significant attention paid to this troublesome intersection, many of her friends — like Helen Krim — would have preferred that attention not be the result of losing a close friend. “She was a beautiful light — kind of a chaotic idealist,” Krim said. “She was always trying to make the world better, and I’ll miss her. I think we all will.”
Unexpected election created unexpected activist RUTH MULLEN from page A1 said. “When Alessandra was trying to decide whether or not to run, she met with the Huddle. And I remember Ruth getting back that day and saying, ‘She’s the one. She’s the one to do it.’ And she just threw all of her support behind her.” Ruth was always politically active, Jim said. But it was Donald Trump’s surprise election over Hillary Clinton in 2016 that inspired her to step it up to a new level. “She cried every day,” Jim said. “And then she just got busy. And she said, ‘We’re going to figure it out, and we’re going to fix it. We have to start locally, and we’re just going to keep going.’” That election was a “life-changing moment for a lot of us,” Jim added. “But especially for her. I laid back and helped all I could. But she leaned in really hard.” The Trump White House also inspired Ruth to join the Riverdale Huddle just a month after the now-former president was inaugurated — and only a few weeks after the group itself was formed. The Huddle became one of Ruth’s most beloved communities, Jim said, to the point where she never missed any of their weekly meetings at An Beal Bocht Café. Fellow Huddle member Elizabeth CookeLevy said Ruth’s impact on the group was significant, often moving them from just discussing an issue to real political action. “There are other people who will talk about injustice, Ruth was not a big talker,” Cooke-Levy said. “When she spoke, she’d brief us on information relevant to a topic and suggest or even prod us to join her in volunteer efforts.” Ruth, for example, was outraged about partisan gerrymandering when it came to drawing the boundaries of districts for elected officials, and she’d push to keep the topic near the top of the group’s agenda. She wouldn’t stop there, Cooke-Levy said. Ruth would host postcardwriting sessions in her apartment, using these hand-written messages from fellow Huddle members as a way to influence policy not just in New York, but other states that suffered under gerrymandering. “She’d be keeping the whole thing cheerful and positive and welcoming,” Cooke-Levy said. “And at the same time, motivating all of these people to be there. She would move me from a rather distant caring about something, to actually showing up and participating in a volunteer effort about it.” Ruth also spent many years as a poll worker, said another fellow Huddle member, Ellen Chapnick. Although not political, it demonstrated Ruth’s passion for securing and protecting people’s right to vote. “And (she) really wanted people to have a voting system that was protected by people who were watching for integrity,” Chapnick said. “She would talk very knowledgably about the ballots and how they were good or weren’t good.

She even ran to represent her 2500 Johnson Ave., building on the county committee, Chapnick said — a position she ultimately didn’t win. “She had gumption,” Chapnick said. “If she thought that something needed to be done — even if it would anger some of the powers-at-be and make them mad at her — she did what she thought was right. She wasn’t going to be intimidated by people just because they were powerful politicians in the community. It didn’t interest her to pander to people.”
‘Loved by many people’
But Ruth’s impact goes way beyond her political activism, Jim said. She was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado, a small city of 42,000 people located about 10 miles south of Denver. She graduated from Colorado College in the early 1970s, and soon after moved east to New York, earning her master’s degree in history from Columbia University.
After that, Ruth was really interested in two fields, Jim said — publishing and film. And she spent a considerable amount of time succeeding in both. “She worked in every conceivable part of publishing,” Jim said. “Including working at the Strand Book Store. She worked as a writer. She worked as an editor. She worked as a proofreader. She worked for a lot of the bigger publishing companies, (like) McGraw Hill.” Ruth then shifted to film, getting her first job on the set of Sergio Leone’s 1984 crime epic “Once Upon a Time in America.” She moved up the ranks, Jim said, working in and eventually running the production offices of many prominent directors. Her work included Susan Seidelman’s 1985 dramedy “Desperately Seeking Susan,” and a segment Francis Ford Coppola directed in the 1989 anthology film “New York Stories” called “Life Without Zoë.” After film, Ruth returned to publishing, Jim said, working as a freelancer, editor and even a ghostwriter. She joined the board of the Editorial Freelancers Association in 2016, advocating for
the labor rights of other contractors. She was elected co-executive of the association earlier this year. Ruth met Jim while working on the set of Joe Stone’s 1990 independent film “Coupe de Ville,” which filmed in North Carolina with the likes of Patrick Dempsey and Alan Arkin. “That’s how we met and fell in love,” Jim remembers. “She was my best friend for 32 years. She was my life and my lover. And she was the person I went to when I needed hard questions answered. And I don’t have her now — and that’s very difficult.” They moved into Winston Churchill in 1994, expanding their family by adopting daughters Lia and Maya. No matter what part of Ruth’s life you look at, Jim said, her presence is felt everywhere — not just in the Spuyten Duyvil home they shared, but the community itself. “She made a difference,” he said. “She was a force to be reckoned with. She had a really interesting varied and great life. And she was loved by many people.”
Future of nabe taekwondo depends on six-figure help
KNOCKOUT from page A1 He has rented the space next to Vacuum World to Rajput for six years, and the two even trained together in martial arts. Yet, Morse feels the martial arts master isn’t proving to be a master when it comes to taking advantage of government programs designed to help businesses like his. “Raj has been a great tenant who has always paid his rent on time before the pandemic,” Morse said. “UnfortuT, page A4 nately, he needs help from the state now, and they need to send him that rental assistance.” Rajput typically pays Morse $4,000 for the space each month. When the pandemic shut the dojo down in Spring 2020, Rajput paid Morse $600 for one month, and then another $1,000 the following month. After that, Rajput couldn’t spare much of anything, and now owes Morse more than $56,000. Yet, Warriors Taekwondo remains on Riverdale Avenue. “Thank God Lenny is a friend of mine, and he was kind of easy on me about the rent.,” Rajput said. “He’s
been very kind and understands that.” But that patience can only go so far. Morse has his own bills to worry about, like mortgages and taxes. Unlike larger property management companies that could float these kinds of deficits, Morse is just a small business owner who depends on income he makes from his commercial rental property to make ends meet. And it’s not just rent. Rajput also owes utility bills for electricity, internet, cable and telephone, not to mention insurance. Without emergency rental assistance, he finds it impossible to ever pay back all of the money he owes. “I have an entire box of bills, but with no money to pay for them,” Rajput said. Rent at his Inwood location is a bit higher — $7,000 — and he owes money there, also, to the tune of $150,000. “I also owe Con Edison about $17,000,” Rajput added. Rajput has sought out some of the help offered by the government. He applied for a loan through the federal Paycheck Protection Program, but was
denied. He also applied for the staterun rental assistance program, but also was denied. Twice. “I just reapplied for the rental assistance program,” Rajput said, “but I also just applied for a 30-year loan — which I’m on a waiting list for — with a loan company in New Jersey that helps small businesses. At this point, you know, I’m desperate.” But it seems some help is coming. Rajput was approved for one of those high-interest loans this week but it’s unclear for how much. That money, however, will help him to pay back some of the debt he has in Manhattan. The other loan, intended for North Riverdale, remains pending. And there’s a little more good news. A lot of Rajput’s business comes from his after-school program. With classes beginning Monday, and returning to in-person, Rajput expects some of that business to return, which could at least get him paying some of these bills again. “I keep promising (Morse) that once the after-school program starts,
I’ll be able to pay him more,“ Rajput said. Still, even with school back, there is still a lot of hesitancy by parents to overdo in-person activities — especially with the delta variant still wreaking havoc. The one bright spot for Rajput, at least, through all of this is that Morse can’t evict him — even if that’s bad news for Morse. Gov. Kathy Hochul extended the eviction moratorium for commercial tenants behind on rent earlier this month. Rajput hopes with the new extension — and efforts of the state to disburse more emergency rental assistance money — he can finally catch up. “I spent a lot of money to build those places,” he said. “I just don’t want to let them go.” And, in the long run, Rajput believes it would only benefit the community to keep his taekwondo studios running rather than letting them falter. I’m an asset for the neighborhood,” he said. “I pick up kids from school, feed them snacks, help them with their

Hundreds gather to unveil Endor Garden 9/11 sign n Remembrances mark 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@riverdalepress.com
Vandals may have stolen a sign from the entrance of Fieldston’s Endor Gardens four years ago, but they couldn’t claim the neighborhood’s spirit. Led by Community Board 8 chair Laura Spalter and her husband Rob, rather large crowd shut down part of Fieldston Road near West 253rd Street on Saturday afternoon, the neighborhood dedicated a new sign honoring the local victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks — just in time for the tragic event’s 20th anniversary. Hilary Kitasei created the garden along Fieldston Road soon after the Sept. 11 attacks. A short time later, contractor Jerry Fontan created and erected a wooden sign dedicating the garden to victims of the attack, which stood for nearly 15 years. “Hilary named this ‘Endor,’ and she named it at the suggestion of her daughters,” Laura Spalter said. “I had believed it had something to do with Star Wars, but then today somebody passing by said they looked it up, and it has biblical roots.” The new sign was created by students from the neighboring Riverdale Country School with help from administrator Milton Sipp and school maintenance staff member Andre Brown and Tom Healy. Saturday’s ceremony included not only a number of elected officials and more than a hundred neighbors, but also dozens of firefighters and police officers, who brought trucks and vehicles to the event. They were also joined by the family of James Joseph McAlary, who was on the 92nd floor of World Trade Center One when a plane hit it on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. He was one of at least 20 people who died that day with local connections. After the ceremony, Spalter told The Riverdale Press that while they expanded the names on the plaque from the original handful to the eight that are there now, she plans to add an additional segment to the sign adding more names — including some that were listed in the Sept. 9 commemorative edition of the paper. “It was very important that we replace that memorial” after it was vandalized, Spalter told the crowd. “That’s what we’re doing today. But, in addition, I would like to say that since we

James Joseph McAlary’s family walk through Endor Garden near West 253rd Street and Fieldston Road after Saturday’s dedication ceremony of a new sign commemorating victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks created by students from Riverdale Country School. McAlary, a commodities broker with Carr Futures, was attending a meeting on the 92nd floor of World Trade Center Tower One when it was struck by a plane that morning. He is one of at least 20 people who died that day with local connections. Netherland Garden, below, which was home to some of the other victims, continued its vigil tradition on the 20th anniversary as well. sent out this invite, we have had several people reach out to us with names that were not on there. These are mainly firemen or police. So we’re going to move forward a little with more dedications to include everybody we can.” Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz said he started the day watching on television some of the thousands of names being read at the World Trade Center site. “I think all of us, most of us here, remember 20 years ago,” he said. “I can remember that day, looking out of my window where I live. You could see the smoke. You can’t see anything, but you could see the smoke in the sky from way downtown. And it was shocking.” A few days later, the lawmaker said he was traveling through the city when the reality of that tragic event finally hit
home for him. “What struck me while we were driving down the West Side Highway, and I saw it for the first time — or what I didn’t see — you didn’t see the twin towers anymore,” Dinowitz said. “And it was shocking.” Money for the new sign was raised by Riverdale Country’s middle school student council through its annual dance-a-thon. “The kids were into it, too,” Sipp told The Press before the ceremony. “They were energized. They were fired up about it. They really wanted to see this happen. There was like a level of engagement that was pretty cool to see.” Rob Spalter says his hope is to permanent install a flagpole at the site next. But that would require permission from DOT.

Lehrfield ready to lead Riverdale Minyan
HOUSING BLOCK
n New rabbi excited to steer young synagogue into a very bright future
Bronx rental prices drop slightly
By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
Binyamin Lehrfield took over as The Riverdale Minyan’s new rabbi just in time for the High Holy Days this year. And he’s glad to hit the ground running — especially with all that leading Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services entails. Rosh Hashana is “all about setting our vision and our dreams for our future and priorities and values as we start this new year,” Lehrfield said. “I can’t think of a better way to start our next stage of life here in Riverdale, in our new home, than to start at the same time as we’re kicking off a new year. As we think about those same ideals and ideas.” Lehrfield took over as The Minyan’s second paid rabbi early last month, following the June 2019 departure of Rabbi Dan Margulies. Lehrfield moved to Riverdale with his wife Orit Kabasso and three children. The Minyan was founded in 2015, according to shul president Sandy Kahn, as a lay-led congregation — meaning there was no paid rabbi. They originally met for weekly Shabbat services in a member’s Riverdale apartment. “So everyone who worked at The Riverdale Minyan was volunteering their time, energy, skills, brains, whatever,” Kahn said. “And it has a wonderful feeling that everyone matters in our congregation. And everyone can help. And everyone can implement change. And everybody has a voice.” The congregation started with about 50 members, Kahn said, including families and individuals. It has since expanded to roughly 130. The fact that the congregation is still young and developing is part of what attracted Lehrfield to his new role in the first place. It’s “the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what I think is pretty exciting. I think that we’re doing something pretty neat.” Additionally, Lehrfield was drawn in by how warm and engaged The Minyan community appeared to be. “There’s just this tremendous energy in the congregation,” he said. “As well as just incredible lay leaders who really take so much
HIRAM ALEJANDRO DURÁN
Rabbi Binyamin Lehrfield took over as the new spiritual leader of The Riverdale Minyan early last month. Lehrfield says he was drawn to the relatively young congregation because of their warmth and how spiritually active they are. ownership and leadership in the congregation.” That warmth helped the rabbi get through the first major challenge of his tenure — contracting the virus that causes COVID-19 as soon as he arrived. He also found support from several other rabbis in the area, who he had professional relationships with before taking the job. “Thank G-d I was vaccinated,” Lehrfield said. “And so I did not have any serious symptoms or anything like that. But just the warmth and the support from the congregation, from the local rabbis — that just meant a lot. That’s kind of how I knew that we’d made the right decision” to come here. The congregation was lucky to find and hire a rabbi with Lehrfield’s experience, Kahn said, since he’ll only be part-time. “He brings a huge wealth of knowledge and deep experience in running congregations and leading them,” Kahn said. “And he has incredible energy and great ideas. It’s actually not a simple matter for a congregation to find a part-time rabbi. And given the depth of his experience, to find someone with his knowledge base is actually incredible.” Growing up in Chicago, Lehrfield is a fourth-generation rabbi. However, Lehrfield’s family never pressured him to join the spiritual legacy. His grandfather and father’s abilities to mentor and teach their congregants inspired him. So, natu-
rally, he wanted to follow in their footsteps. “It’s always just been part of the way I was brought up, to give back to the community and be a part of the community,” Lehrfield said. “I grew up in my grandfather’s synagogue, grew up with my father, and just being active in our own congregation. So that’s always been a part of who I am, and something that I brought with me to different congregations. And I hope to share it my own kids.” Lehrfield already had deep ties to New York. He studied economics and psychology at Yeshiva University, also receiving his rabbinical training and ordination there. Additionally, he earned his master’s in business administration from CUNY’s Baruch College. Lehrfield then became the campus Orthodox rabbi at New York University, working as an assistant rabbi at Park East Synagogue in the Lenox Hill section of Manhattan. After that, he went upstate to lead Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob in Albany as its senior rabbi for a few years. Lehrfield spent the last five years as the senior rabbi of Baron Hirsch Congregation in Memphis, Tennessee. One big difference that Lehrfield noticed between the Jewish communities in Memphis and New York is how important religious life was in that part of the south. “So even though there’s only (8,000) to 10,000 Jews in the entire
community, it’s incredibly engaged relative to New York, where there are millions and millions and millions of Jews,” Lehrfield said, citing the 1.5 million Jews who live in the metropolitan area. Lehrfield sees a lot of that Memphis congregation at The Riverdale Minyan. And, moving back to New York allows the rabbi to be closer to family. His wife’s relatives are from the area. “I think all of us during this pandemic have reprioritized our values a little bit,” Lehrfield said. “And so being a part of a community like this, and being closer to family, just was too good of an opportunity to pass up.” Lehrfield’s wife Orit is also getting involved with the local Jewish community by joining the faculty of SAR High School. One of the most important aspects of being a rabbi, Lehrfield said, is building meaningful relationships with members of his congregation. While this is challenging, he’s already made significant headway by calling and introducing himself to almost every member of the synagogue. “It just takes time,” the rabbi said. “And so, I’m in it for the long haul. And I really want to build those relationships because I think that’s the hardest part with coming to a new congregation. So much of what makes the rabbinic life meaningful and so much about what makes a congregation special is those relationships.”

Rents are down in the Bronx, but not by a whole lot. In fact, according to MNS Real Estate NYC, overall rent in the borough in August is down less than 1 percent to $2,023, compared to the month before. Studios were flat at $1,747, while one-bedroom units slipped slightly to $1,923. Two-bedrooms were down 1 percent to $2,392. When compared to August 2020, the average rental price jumped nearly 1.5 percent, despites studio pricing dipping about 0.2 percent compared to last year. Two-bedroom rentals had, by the far, the biggest jump upward — 3.5 percent. The most expensive two-bedroom rental in the Bronx remains in Riverdale, pricing at $2,782, despite the price dipping nearly 1 percent from July. Aside from having the most expensive twobedroom rental, Riverdale has also seen the highest increase in rent for one-bedroom rentals in the Bronx — up nearly 2 percent to $2,057. Overall, the rental price of studios and twobedrooms increased annually in Riverdale, while the price of one-bedrooms dropped.
City, state to launch green energy program
The city’s housing preservation and development department last week to invest $24 million in a pilot program that aims to decarbonize affordable housing units. “The climate crisis is a global problem that demands a global response, and that’s why it’s so important that New York state and New York City pool their resources and work together to reduce carbon emissions,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said, in a release. The program would help New York meet its nation-leading and ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent no later than 2050. The investments from the program are expected to support environmental upgrades to approximately 1,200 affordable units, benefitting up to 3,000 low- to moderate-income residents already living there. The pilot program also establishes a streamlined funding process intended to allow affordable housing owners to access incentives through the state’s Energy Research & Development Authority without being stuck with additional paperwork. Mayor Bill de Blasio hopes the new initiative between the city and state will help improve climate conditions globally. “Our recovery must be a green recovery, because climate change isn’t some far-off crisis,” de Blasio said, in a statement. “It’s already here.” The program is expected to disburse nearly $22 million in incentives directly to project developers. The amount of funding will vary by project, depending on the needs of each development and the scope of work to be implemented. The application process will be available on a first-come basis, and is expected to finish by the end of 2024, or when money runs out.

EDITORIAL
Laws apply to bus drivers, too
T
his time six years ago, bus drivers were celebrating. They had bested Bill de Blasio on what was supposed to be the mayor’s hallmark legislation, Vision Zero. Launched in 2014, Vision Zero was intended to make New York City streets safe from deaths and serious injuries in just 10 years. de Blasio looked to do that through a series of measures that included intersection redesigns, better traffic enforcement, speed limit reductions, and stiffer penalties for traffic violations — some criminal. Bus drivers, who probably spend more time on the streets than anyone else, felt particularly targeted. If they hit a pedestrian who was legally crossing a street, they could be charged with a misdemeanor and even face jail time. John Samuelsen — then the president of Transit Workers Union Local 100 — complained Vision Zero required drivers to be “perfect.” At that point, four drivers had been charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian, according to published reports, despite nine pedestrians losing their lives from direct collisions with Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses. Samuelsen and the TWU took de Blasio to court despite assurances from some city lawmakers at the time — like Queens councilman Daneek Miller — that bus drivers would be exempted from Vision Zero. A judge never ruled on the lawsuit. Instead, de Blasio settled with the union, agreeing drivers would be spared prosecution unless an investigation determined they were negligent. Samuelsen called this a win, while de Blasio claimed it does nothing more than better define the law. Over the next three years, MTA buses would find themselves involved in nearly 22,000 “crashes, collisions and mishaps,” according to the New York Post. That’s not a typo — it was an average of one bus-related mishap per hour across the city, injuring more than 2,500 people and killing at least 14 others. An MTA spokesman downplayed those statistics, telling the newspaper that “riding a bus is one of the safest ways to get around on New York City streets.” Maybe for the people inside the bus, but not so much anyone outside.
W
e don’t know quite yet if the driver behind the wheel of the BxM1 bus that struck
and killed Ruth Mullen in front of her Spuyten Duyvil home was at fault for the Sept. 7 collision, or if he’ll be charged. If the driver is not at fault, then who is? Ruth was crossing what many say is a dangerous intersection of Kappock Street and Johnson Avenue involving a sharp turn on a rather steep hill. It’s an intersection with heavy bus traffic — not just the BxM1, but also the BxM2, the BxM18, the Bx10 and — during rush periods — the Bx20. At a news conference just up the street two days after Ruth’s death, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz took credit for adding a third stop sign to the intersection in response to past complaints by neighbors about how dangerous it was. But even while he spoke those words, buses were rumbling through the stop signs, and making that left turn onto Johnson Avenue as if they were racing at Watkins Glen. Dinowitz and his son, Councilman Eric Dinowitz, called to lower the speed limit. To have the city’s transportation department check to ensure the intersection was lit well at night. To maybe consider installing a traffic signal. Those are great sentiments — just as the Assemblyman’s stop sign was — but they are meaningless without proper enforcement. It accomplishes nothing if there is no accountability. They are worthless if a beloved member of our community like Ruth Mullen is allowed to fade into an obscure statistic. This didn’t have to happen. The wonderful people living around that intersection like Ruth have complained about it for years. Yet, we only see action after a tragedy, instead of doing something meaningful to maybe prevent that tragedy from happening in the first place. DOT needs to take a hard look at where Johnson and Kappock intersect. But the MTA needs to take an even harder look at how well their drivers are following the law. Every law. Like following the speed limits. Stopping fully at stop signs. Ensuring a crosswalk is clear before barreling through it. Samuelsen claimed bus drivers should have immunity because safety is paramount to them. And for many drivers, that is indeed true. But if the union and the MTA can’t weed out those skirting the laws and putting everyone outside their bus in danger, then maybe the only deterrent that will work is the threat of jail.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Do something about intersection To the editor: You’re probably aware by now of a terrible accident in front of my building at 2500 Johnson Ave., where one of my wonderful neighbors was struck by a bus and killed. Buses and cars fly down the hill in front of my building. If the bus driver doesn’t see anyone waiting at the bus stop, they just continue on. There may be a stop sign, but drivers often don’t stop. I haven’t been there for more than a year because of COVID-19. People from my building either cross directly across from my building to the other side — which is much safer and fewer vehicles go there — or they walk up the driveway of my building and cross the street at the intersection between Kappock Street and Johnson. Crossing there is very dangerous. If a bus driver doesn’t see anyone, they do not stop. They make a sharp left-hand turn to go
down the hill on Johnson. If a pedestrian crosses the street at 2500 Johnson at that intersection instead of directly in front of the building, a pedestrian doesn’t have a chance if a bus doesn’t stop at the bus stop. Something needs to be done. I have been to places where people who want to cross the street press the button and it stops all the traffic for about 15 or 20 seconds to allow the person to cross the street. That may be a possible solution to the dangers in that corner. Right now, crossing directly in front of buildings is the only relatively safe way to cross the street. There is less traffic there. If someone walks up the driveway from my building and crosses at the intersection, it is very risky, and they can get into trouble from vehicles coming up the street, as well as down.

Science says vaccines save lives To the editor:
(re: “Just don’t believe the government,” Sept. 2)
The recent letter from a COVID-19 anti-vaxxer was not just wrong, it was dead wrong. Not getting vaccinated could be deadly — for you and for someone close to you. Accurate information about vaccines is
easily available to anyone who is willing to look for it with an open mind and a respect for facts rather than opinions. Only a willful refusal to believe factual information can lead you to conclude that you shouldn’t get vaccinated against COVID-19. Consider that today more

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Afghanistan turns into hot mess To the editor: Once again, one of America’s last credible newspapers — The Christian Science Monitor — sums up the coming Afghanistan disaster in a story talking about why a Taliban victory may not be everything Pakistan wished for. Our “friends,” the Pakistanis, should have been harshly dealt with decades ago, and should not be forgiven for their betrayal of our country and its overt alliance with the Taliban and China. It should also be remembered that, earlier in the war, the United States had routed the Taliban using Team Alpha — a combination of CIA intelligence and Special Ops teams, whose sole mission was to hunt down and destroy al-Qaida and their Taliban supporters. They were not trying to impose American morality or democratic values on the Afghans. They successfully managed to control tribal rivalries, and supply intelligence, weapons and training to those allied with us in the fight for their own country. Unfortunately, by December 2001, the Washington-led “mission creep” of nation building started to rear its ugly head. Hamid Karzai’s attempts to include the nowdefeated Taliban into peace negotiations were rebuffed by Washington. Instead of dealing with tribal leaderships and local warlords, the State Department airheads decided on creating a cen-
Get rid of the filibuster To the editor: We understand President Biden is busy. Among foreign policy crises, infrastructure and the COVID-19 pandemic, he has a lot on his hands. But I can’t help think about how his support for abolishing the filibuster in the U.S. Senate could help him enact his agenda on all fronts. Most importantly, it could help Biden protect Americans’ freedom to vote in the face of relentless attacks on our democracy. We need Congress to pass comprehensive voting rights reform, and we need Biden to step up and put pressure on the Senate to do so by publicly supporting an end to the filibuster. Biden’s stated support for voting rights reform simply isn’t enough. President Biden, for the sake of my right to vote — and the progressive agenda we elected you to enact — urge the Senate to abolish the filibuster. VicToria DoLan
A song for 9/11 healing To the editor: With the recent 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, we wanted to share with you and your readers a memory that is dear to us. As our family watched the towers fall from our bedroom window, no words could de-
tralized — federal — Afghanistan democracy. This along with various concerns, rules and regulations concerning punishing false surrendering forces, mistreatment and release of dangerous prisoners, universal education, women’s rights, and a vain effort to control opium production. Nine years later, in 2010, the United States had gone from a few thousand operatives to more than 100,000 troops. And, not surprisingly, now appeared to the local population as occupiers instead of liberators. A sickening repetition of our involvement in the Vietnam War, with as it appears now, the same embarrassing defeat we experienced in Southeast Asia. The total now-abandonment of Bagram Air Field-BAF — also known as Bagram Air Base, and the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan — and giving up our advantage of air power over that region will, in my opinion, go down as one of the biggest tactical mistakes in recent military history. And so, after America’s longest war, we will have created a humanitarian disaster and blessed the world with another chaotic, murderous, fractured country that will be yet another dangerous and destabilizing threat to world peace. The horror. Lou DeHoLczer
scribe the feelings of fear, confusion and heartache we had. And as musicians, music was the only way we could express the emotions we were having. In the days following the attacks, we felt compelled to create something to help our family and community heal from the devastation. Together, we composed the song “An American Prayer” as a means of catharsis — and it truly conveyed the words we felt our community needed to hear. Every year since then, we listen to the song together and reflect on the day that we will never forget. We call it a time capsule of our emotions. Listen: tinyurl.com/AmericanPrayerSong.

It’s not poison ivy To the editor:
(re: “You see leaves of three? Then please leave it be!” Sept. 2)
While I am quite pleased that The Riverdale Press is paying attention to the poison ivy in Van Cortlandt Park, I am looking in dismay at a photograph — not of poison ivy (three leaves), but the not-atall poisonous Virginia creeper (five very obvious leaves). A half-minute of internet searching would have resulted in the correct photograph. HeiDi SLaTKin ——— To the editor: (re: “You see leaves of three? Then please leave it be!” Sept. 2)
I was sorry to see that The Riverdale Press missed an op-
portunity to educate its readers by not publishing a photo of an actual poison ivy plant with its story on poison ivy. JuDy FLeTcHer
Hidden costs of transit To the editor: Major proposed transportation projects such as the $11 billion Gateway tunnel, $10 billion Port Authority bus terminal, the $6.9 billion Second Avenue subway second phase, and others that cost billions all have something in common that elected officials and transit agency CEOs never want to acknowledge: As any major capital project advances through design and engineering, estimated project costs continue to rise. Responses to any construction procurement can come in above the project engineers’ estimate. Any final project cost upon completion could increase based upon responses to bids, along with change orders during construction due to last-minute changes in scope or unforeseen site conditions, inspections and acceptance of all work that also includes quality assurance and quality control during construction, followed by beneficial use, completion of contract punch list items — to ensure contractor built the asset to meet design and engineering contract specifications — receipt of asset maintenance manuals followed by contract closeout, release of retain age, and final payment.

Remember, and hope for the better To the editor: There is sadness about Briar Hill’s pool closing for the season. Lots of good-byes, so-longs and Jewish new year greetings — even from the non-Jews. A sweet year! We were a community here. We were complainers and gabbers and friends in this awful time. It reminded me of my last days in the bungalow colonies of the Catskills. We packed up, closed the door, and headed home for school. Of course, I was a kid then. But this particular summer didn’t feel that way. I can’t explain it. So much is different with this pandemic. The cute little pool kids return with their knapsacks and their fancy masks. Staff members move
on to their jobs and school. And us senior citizens — we old folks — amble out, hoping to return to our lounge chairs and umbrellas in a year. Riverdale is different. The world is different. I am not sure how to deal with it again. I Zoomed my way through lots of hard times with book groups, painting classes and writing programs. I saw my family on Zoom every Sunday. But during times when a little bit of normalcy peeked its head through, I went to restaurants — even museums — met friends, and talked about things other than pandemics and wars and floods and vaccinations. I even tried to plan a vacation. So happy end of summer. Sing all those end-ofsummer songs. Remember. Remember and hope once again for a better time. JuDiTH VeDer

POINT OF VIEW
Looking beyond the treetops to see what’s really out there
By CHARLES FOGELMAN
S
o here I am looking out across the Bronx and the Hudson under this nearly clear September sky, a day short of the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks. Tomorrow, the skies are supposed to be as completely clear as they were that day, before smoke and soot and ash and more blocked the sun. I look up and I see the towers standing, still, and I see the planes approaching. I close my eyes and I see the towers standing, still, and I see the planes approaching and the gray plume rising. I look away, and I see the towers falling. No matter where I look, no matter where my inward or outer gaze may turn, somewhere I always see the moment. Things changed forever in that moment, all the columnists and pundits and electronic mouths tell me — and they were right. Somehow, though, those pronouncements seem thin. Not their fault, really, since it’s impossible to convey in mere words — at least for mere mortals — the simple depth and complete suddenness of the change. It’s kind of like knowing something when you see it, but not being able to explain it. Yet everyone understands. Sort of like the awful inverse of the instant you become a parent: You have moved into a different universe. The door has closed behind you and you can never return — not that you’d want to, but that’s a different story. I often try to illustrate one facet of the change this way. A while back, there was a flawed — but telling — piece of cross-cultural research about the way children in different countries perceived ambiguous scenes. One scene was of a child’s bedroom, looking across it and out a window. The child is on the floor, perhaps reaching under the bed. An airplane is visible through the window. Children from different places on Earth were asked to tell a story about the picture. Many children told stories about hiding from the airplane, seeing it as a source of threat. Only in America did not a single child see any danger. Their stories were about taking trips. Finding a toy that had rolled under the bed. Grandparents coming to visit. That was the America I grew up in, and that was the America I wanted to leave my children and grandchildren — except I wanted it to be an even better place. That America was safe. That America was never attacked. That America was a haven. That America was where people came so that their children and grandchildren wouldn’t be afraid of an airplane. I’ve lived through moments when things changed, of course. Most especially Nov. 22, 1963, when my childhood ended and other dreams died. But even though others shared the emotions of that day, it didn’t really change our shared sense of safety. And, of course, we then believed in America as a force for good in the world, and that the American armed forces were full of souls who went off to war only on principle — not for conquest. People who, in the words of a seldom-sung verse of “America, the Beautiful,” “Country more than selves they loved, and mercy more than life.”
We hadn’t yet lost sight of being the place that sent millions of ordinary fellow-citizens off to save the world. All of these images are still with me every day. The towers. The assassination. The noble place. The place of aspiration and hope, which called my ancestors, and which calls immigrants still — the American soldier entering Normandy where, still, there are signs commemorating and thanking “nos liberateurs.” Images of what can be seen, and what cannot. I am an American. This means, among much else, that I believe in things I cannot see with just my open eyes, or touch with just my reaching hand, or kiss with just my searching lips. I believe that we have risen from darkness before, and will again, although I don’t know how or when. I believe that it matters more that the people of Whitefish, Montana — and decades ago, elsewhere in Montana — rose up to banish anti-Semitism than that a series of darkened souls murdered Jews like me in other places in the country just the day before yesterday, or the day before that. I believe that the American founding — that astonishing moment when so much brilliance and courage lived in one small, new place, relying so much as it did on what the Hebrew Bible, and Jews, brought to the world — was miraculous. I believe this even when I’m not so sure G-d really exists. I believe the aspirations of the Declaration of Independence and the visions of the U.S. Constitution will see us through. And I am most assuredly a New Yorker. This means that I took the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks not just as an American, but doubly, personally. How dare those people do that in my hometown? Ah, but it also means that I understand in my bones, DNA and soul that they can’t keep us down. New York City is always being reborn. It always emerges from darkness into light — OK, and occasionally back to dark again. We survive. We thrive. And, oh, we take care of each other. One of the things I remember most vividly about that moment two decades ago is how, all of a sudden, people in the rest of the country noticed just how generous, caring and selfless New Yorkers really are. Turns out, we weren’t caricatures after all. Just characters. Others were surprised. We knew who we were all along. We are not afraid. I know, I know. Trump. Climate change. Insurrection. Anti-vaxxers. Rich versus poor. Racism. The internet. I didn’t write that I wasn’t worried, or even scared. And I can’t say that things won’t get even more awful before they get better. I certainly feel guilty that I cannot say that I have left my children and grandchildren that better world for which I wished and for which I worked. I can’t even guess when we’ll have enough perspective to judge this moment in history clearly — although I do believe it will be seen as another test we have passed, another moment we have passed through. Today, I feel awful. Today, I remember loss. And tomorrow, I will mourn again. But just now, I’m looking through clear air across Bronx treetops beyond the Hudson to the Palisades. Of course we’ll be OK.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Meet typical Trump supporter To the editor: A reportedly pro-Trump white supremacist partisan Republican fan of Fox News from Grover, North Carolina, was said to have drove his mud-caked pickup truck up onto the sidewalk of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 19, where he parked for five hours. All the while it was reported he filmed himself on Facebook, live-streaming his right-wing political bomb threats against President Biden, Democrats and District of Columbia residents, including this pro-Trump terrorist filming his apparently inert, improvised explosive devices all on Facebook for any cross-burning QAnon crackpot to copy. For some reason, this 49-year-old alleged attempted bomber by the name of Floyd Ray Roseberry seemed to individually personify traitor Trump’s political base as it’s become known generally: A violent, racist, low-IQ, neo-Confederate numbskull who is completely out of touch with reality, and is in desperate need of psychiatric medication. Much like the deranged and delusional dimwit Donald Trump himself. I don’t know if it was the brain-damaged sounding, slow Southern drawl with which this person spoke, or if it was Mr. Roseberry’s bulbous shaved head and unnecessarily large pickup truck with unnecessarily large tires — but if one were to hypothetically look up a picture of the average Trump supporter in the dictionary, a photo of Floyd the barber from Mayberry — I
mean, Grover — North Carolina is surely what one would find. And as far as Floyd’s idiotic insistence life on Facebook that “the south shall rise again,” please! I’ve watched “Gone With the Wind” too, but if you’re actually taking your American history lessons from a pro-Confederacy, pro-slavery cinematic crapfest that was so racist — even for its time — that it actually portrayed Black folks as happy to be enslaved, well then you’re probably too racist and clueless to be cognizant at all. Speaking of clueless racists, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently contracted COVID-19 after spending the past several months issuing dictatorial edicts from the governor’s mansion in Austin against local mask mandates, and blocking other necessary public health safety measures, instead of repairing Texas’ broken power grid before the upcoming winter. Hopeless, hapless Gov. Abbott and his proRussian Republican comrade from Canada, Rafael “Ted” Cruz, should both plan on making another mid-winter escape to Cancun in the midst of what is sure to be another disastrously deadly power grid shutdown season in Texas. Both Gov. Abbott and Sen. Cancun Cruz will no doubt continue to complain about law schools teaching “critical race theory” as a manufactured distraction from their own personal political corruption, and their continuing criminal negligence. Jake Pickering
The true definition of a socialist To the editor: Today’s “conservative Republicans” have done a masterful job of brainwashing and hoodwinking many Americans into believing that the national Democrats are now some kind of “socialists.” We now have a No. 1 bestseller on the non-fiction list, “American Marxist,” written by Mark Levin, with a picture of
a hammer and a sickle on the cover. This would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic, because with respect to their political and economic views, most of my fellow Democrats have views that are closer to those of Groucho Marx than they are of Karl Marx. Please read the article “Bernie Sanders isn’t a socialist” by Paul Krugman, which you can
find online. It appeared in the Feb. 13, 2020, issue of The New York Times. Krugman won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, so it is safe to say that what he says about this is much more credible and believable than what a right-wing Fox News fanatic and extremist like Mark Levin says.
