The lobby of 2727 Palisade Ave., was among several parts of the Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood that was flooded from remnants of Hurricane Ida. Neighbors blame sidewalk construction that was completed two years ago for the mess.

It’s been a month since Andrew Cuomo stepped down as governor over sexual harassment allegations detailed in a report from state attorney general Letitia James. But that wasn’t the only scandal Cuomo has faced over the last year. The former governor also was hit by allegations he fostered a toxic work environment, and covered up the true number of people who died from COVID-19 complications in nursing homes across the state last year. Frequent Cuomo critics like state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi argue these problems are hardly new. As a former executive chamber staffer herself, Biaggi said Cuomo presided over an administration rife with corruption for much of his time in office. And it could be a systemic issue inside the office itself since Cuomo’s two predecessors — Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson — were mired in scandals of their own. The main issue, Biaggi said, is an ineffectual enforcement of ethics rules within the executive branch and, to

some extent, even among her colleagues in the state legislature. “Everything you build upon a floor that has no integrity has really no strength in being upheld,” Biaggi said. “In the state of New York, why we continue to repeat corruption is because there’s a failure in our legislature, in our executive branch, to hold people accountable for breaking rules and laws. We have people who leave the chamber in handcuffs, and we just see the same patterns repeated.” But who’s to blame? Biaggi and othJCOPE, page A4
Co-op blames flooding not on Ida, but instead on DOT Who’ll replace captain? n Residents at 2727 Palisade say floods there are caused by Community gets a say the removal of nearby culverts By JOSEPH DE LA CRUZ jdelacruz@riverdalepress.com
Mary Serri is frustrated. Like many at 2727 Palisade Ave., she is not happy with two sidewalks the city’s transportation department constructed back in 2019. Not that she doesn’t want space for the community to walk, but because she blames those very sidewalks for flood after flood her co-operative is experiencing in recent months. “We became frustrated our voices went unheard,” she said. “We’re taxpayers. The DOT just plowed ahead with this (and) ignored our request to please stop construction.” At the time, Serri and others warned DOT if they removed drainage-necessary culverts from the street, the area is going to flood. And it appears those admonitions came true earlier this month after the remnants of Hurricane Ida battered New York, and flooded not only 2727 Palisade, but other properties, too. On top of that, some residents lost their Verizon landline and cable services, because of how the underground wiring was affected.
But while some might point out Ida’s rain was record-breaking, so what should some living in low-lying areas expect, it’s actually the second time the building has been flooded in as many months. Original DOT work two years ago was meant to address a stop sign issue, Serri said. But city officials decided it was either go big or go home, building what she described as two plaza-like sidewalks. “The DOT took a very safe corner where there hasn’t been a pedestrian accident or traffic accident in recent years,” Serri said. “It did not warrant the kind of over-scope it received.” DOT did not return a request for comment. The moment construction trucks arrived, Serri and husband Robert Harrington joined a grassroots effort called the Coalition to Save the Neighborhood in an effort to stop it. And it wasn’t hard to get support. “Everybody was really frustrated at that point,” Serri said. “DOT tried to say that we were notified of this project. Residents in all six buildings in the area said they actually weren’t notified.” In fact, it wasn’t until outlets like The Riverdale Press started airing the group’s views that DOT decided to finally sit down and meet with community members, Serri said. “It was a meeting that (they) listened to DOT FLOOD, page A4
n Dermot Shea considers recommendations for new 50th Precinct commander By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
How much say should communities have in how they’re policed? That’s a question police departments have faced across the country since George Floyd was murdered last year by a former Minneapolis police officer. Floyd’s death sparked protests against police violence in cities well beyond Minnesota, EMIlIo sparking a number of MElENDEz reforms to policing. And New York City was no exception. One of those reforms, which Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office put into effect last January, aims to give communi-
ties a direct say in who leads individual precincts. In the past, who would take over a police precinct was a unilateral process, normally done within the New York Police Department with no input from the neighborhoods he or she would serve. But under the new system, a nominating committee is formed made up of some members of the precinct community council, the local community board and the borough president’s office. The committee interviews up to five candidates nominated by the NYPD. They then rank those candidates, delivering those recommendations to NYPD commissioner Dermot Shea, who makes the final decision. All of this comes at a time when shootings across the city are on the rise, while murder and other violent crime has raised some concerns about public safety. In fact, there is some belief it was Eric Adams’ focus on balancing public safety with police reform that helped him capture the Democratic mayoral nomination last June — and with it, likely the mayor’s office itself.

Restaurants could keep outdoor dining after COVID n Safety issues, lack of structural oversight have some CB8 members worried By JOSEPH DE LA CRUZ jdelacruz@riverdalepress.com
Unless you’ve been locked down under a rock over the past 18 months, you may have noticed the city’s streets and sidewalks have been breached by outdoor diners. While New York City always has had outdoor dining, the trend exploded when public health officials required restaurants to close indoor dining as a way to curb the spread of the coronavirus. That allowed restaurants to not only commandeer sidewalks, but streets, too. In fact, some 11,000 restaurants are now participating, or have in the past. That, Bronx transportation commissioner Nivardo Lopez said, has saved upward of 100,000 restaurant industry jobs. “By many accounts, the program has been a lifesaver,” Nivardo told Community Board 8’s land use committee earlier this month — “not just to the restaurant industry, but also to the city, which has seen the sort of impact that outdoor dining can

Bronx Alehouse has extended its outdoor dining to West 238th Street, something they started doing in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. But such structures could become part of the longer-term city landscape if the transportation department succeeds in making them permanent. (have on our) streets and sidewalks, and sort of bring those streets and sidewalks to life.” Now the city’s transportation department is exploring making such dining options permanent. To do this, Lopez said, the city will need to remove some of the restrictive language in its zoning laws officials believe discourage businesses owners
from applying for sidewalk use permits in the first place. Despite some challenges, the city has seen success from the outdoor dining program, Lopez said — specifically because no location was off-limits, the process was free and easy to access, and sidewalks provided more space than some establishments could accommodate otherwise.
However, Lopez did acknowledge there are still concerns of how much impact the outdoor dining was having on the rest of the non-dining city. One of those concerns was for the disabled community and the trouble some have had mobilizing around certain areas due to the lack of sidewalk space. “We think the introduction of the roadway option is a tremendous new opportunity for restaurants, especially those who may have narrow sidewalks,” Lopez said. “But we also recognize that there’s been a lot of challenges and a lot of complaints with the roadway seating.” One of those complaints came from the New York Fire Department, which says its trucks sometimes have difficulty navigating turns on corners and being able to spot safety signs due to the obstruction of roadway eateries. The current program, as it is, would last until a permanent program was established — something Lopez estimated would likely happen by 2023. Charles Moerdler, chair of the land use committee, said more thought has to go into the program before DOT can consider any permanent implementation. “There are no known design criteria,” Moerdler said. “And there are no two sidewalk/roadway cafes that bear resemblance OUTDOOR DINING, page A4

The early morning hours might not be the safest time to stroll to the subway, but many working people have no choice. Unfortunately, one straphanger was forced to confront this problem when he was robbed on the southeast corner of Jerome and Bainbridge avenues. The commuter was walking north on Jerome Avenue toward the 4 train at 6 a.m., on Aug. 30, police said, when two men walked up to him and attacked. One punched him on the left side of the back, pushing him to the ground. The other took his backpack. Both fled south on Jerome. One of the robbers reportedly used the man’s debit card after the robbery. Also in the stolen black Nike bookbag were a pair of Apple AirPods, $280 cash, two pairs of shoes, and a T-shirt. Police valued the stolen items at $500. Cops have some solid leads on this case with surveillance
It’s probably good practice not to leave more than $1,000 worth of clothing and accessories in a parked car for several hours. One victim learned this lesson after parking their car on the 490 block of West 238th Street in the early morning hours of Aug. 31. When the driver returned to her 2007 Mercedes-Benz after sunrise, she found the front right passenger window smashed and several items stolen. These included Nike and Adidas sneakers, Crocs, one Pandora bracelet, and three Michael Kors watches. In total, police valued the stolen items at $1,480.

Bowman: Make child poverty checks permanent n Families receive up to $300 per kid, but keeping program not quite a given By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@riverdalepress.com
Full-time job or not, it’s not easy to make a living, even with New York pushing minimum wage well past the basement lows of the federal standard. The coronavirus only made all of it worse. Raquel Ali knows all about that. While Congress has provided some help here and there, making ends meet was almost impossible until a much different check arrived in the mail for the first time last month. It had the kind of money that could help Ali pay for food, keep the lights on, or even catch up on rent. “Individuals in my community that look like me have often been struggling paycheck-to-paycheck,” Ali said. “The pandemic has really hit us extremely hard, but this child tax credit has allowed me the opportunity to provide for my daughters in ways that I would not have been able to do if this wasn’t provided to me.” The IRS calls these payments an “advance” on the federal child tax credit, providing up to $300 each month for every child under 6, and $250 each month for older children. The first checks already have gone out to families that typically file tax refunds, and the push is on now to ensure every family in need gets paid — even if they don’t normally file taxes. It’s the need for exactly that kind of education that prompted U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman to call for a town hall in Yonkers last week to discuss it. He invited two senate majority leaders — Andrea Stewart-Cousins on the Albany side, and Chuck Schumer from the Washington circuit. Bowman also welcomed U.S. Sen. Kirsten
MICHAEL HINMAN
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer pushes to make monthly child poverty payments that started under the American Rescue Plan permanent in a Yonkers town hall that included U.S. Treasury Department deputy secretary Wally Adeyemo, left, and U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman. Gillibrand, and U.S. Treasury deputy secretary Wally Adeyemo. Bowman’s goal was not just to spread the word about the availability of funds like this through the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, but to push for making these monthly payments permanent past December. “I ran for office because I believe personally that the cycle of poverty is systemic, is rooted in racial injustice, and is rooted in gender bias,” Bowman said. “It is violence. It is trauma. It is a crime. But, most importantly, it is our policy choice.” Far too often, elected officials — even those in Congress — don’t pay much more than lip service to poverty, Bowman said. Adeyemo — the one-time chief of staff under Elizabeth Warren at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — says he is paying attention. And efforts like these
monthly payments are helping more than 16 million children across the country — 3 million of them here in New York, receiving a little more than $400 a month on average. “That matters a great deal,” Adeyemo said. “It’s about making sure they have clothes on their back and food in their bellies. And what the president was committed to doing was using the American Rescue Plan to try and address those issues in a way that mattered, and mattered to the lives of people who are sitting in this room, and the people in this community.” Congress passed the American Rescue Plan last March, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package designed to keep families afloat financially while the coronavirus pandemic rages on. It also gave some much-needed help to struggling businesses as well. Repub-
licans weren’t interested in passing a stimulus bill this expensive, fearing it would cripple the economy by saddling it with more government debt. Democrats worked around Republicans in the Senate through a process known as budget reconciliation. There, with the blessing of the Senate parliamentarian, budget-related bills require only a simple Senate majority — which Democrats hold with the tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris. While congressional Democrats expect they can use reconciliation again to pass a more permanent version of these monthly payments to families with children, Bowman told The Riverdale Press he would very much like to see Republicans join them with a commitment to help families that struggle financially — pandemic or not. “They don’t want to support any-
thing that Democrats propose,” the congressman said. “So Republicans continue to be obstructionists, for whatever reasons. A bill that makes complete sense for the entire country, they just won’t support it.” Holding slim majorities in both chambers has helped get some Democratic measures moving forward toward Joe Biden’s desk, but Bowman admits he wishes there was far less resistance from the GOP. “We need 10 Republicans to support whatever the Democratic agenda is,” Bowman said, citing the 60 votes needed in the Senate to overcome a filibuster. “That’s why reconciliation is helpful. But going forward, we have to look back to go forward. And not everything can go through reconciliation.” Democrats were reminded of that earlier this week when the Senate parliamentarian rejected allowing an immigration bill to be pushed through the upper chamber using reconciliation. Now if Democrats want to help Dreamers — immigrants who entered the country undocumented while they were still children — move closer to citizenship, they’ll have to convince 10 Senate Republicans to join them. But at least on Friday, lawmakers like Chuck Schumer were more focused on some of the other domestic wins, like providing financial help to families in need. “When a child is born into poverty, they don’t get the proper food,” the Senate Majority Leader said. “They don’t get the proper clothing. They don’t get the proper education and health care. This will prevent half our kids from going into poverty, and that’s great. It helps their family, but it also helps America and Yonkers because it makes our community stronger. “And with more productive citizens ready to do things, we are trying to help this community in so many more ways.”
POLITICAL ARENA Pazmino gets dirty in city council race After two crowded races within months of each other earlier this year, Eric Dinowitz has just one opponent in front of him in November’s general election to keep his city council seat for another two years. And it’s a name he definitely recognizes, even if that opponent’s tactics are new.
Kevin Pazmino was one of six candidates seeking the seat once held by Andrew Cohen during a special election last spring, touting his conservative credentials as a “breath of fresh air” in a region that is heavily Democratic. Pazmino finished fifth in that race with just 2 percent of the vote, but he refuses to give up on the seat, challenging Dinowitz as a Republican.
By Michael hinMan Yet while the special election race seemed quite civil, Pazmino has apparently pulled off the gloves for the general election, going after not only the councilman, but also his father — Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz — as well. The state lawmaker took to Twitter last week touting an Assembly bill he co-authored intended to curb the rise in counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination
cards, calling such a practice “dangerous.” Pazmino immediately replied to the Assemblyman, saying it was “another reason why I am running against your puppet (expletive) son,” adding hashtags commonly used on social media by those opposed to vaccination mandates. The elder Dinowitz took the first swing at Pazmino, calling him an “apparent anti-vaxxer
who believes people should be allowed to use and distribute counterfeit vaccination cards.” Dinowitz’s son joined in soon after, posting a meme featuring the character Ferris Bueller from the 1986 comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” with the text “you’re still here?” Pazmino then called himself a “puppet prince” and the younger Dinowitz not only “a joke,” but the “worst candidate
in the special election. You only have your seat due to your daddy’s handlers.” Eric Dinowitz won both a March special election and a June primary for the council seat over a number of challengers led by theatre non-profit executive Mino Lora. He’s expected to easily win the November election, giving him a place in City Hall at least through 2023.

Community gets say in new 50th Precinct leader PRECINCT from page A1 As it happens, the 50th Precinct — Shea’s former command — is currently in need of a new leader with the retirement of Capt. Emilio Melendez. He stepped down over some lingering health issues after leading the 5-0 for three years and spending more than three decades with the NYPD. “After 31 years, I have to walk away,” Melendez told The Riverdale Press in July. “I just had a knee replacement and neck surgery. I cannot function 100 percent. And it’s a liability to me. It’s also a liability to the city. So, the next commanding officer better be completely fit to fill my shoes.” As Melendez leaves, the 5-0 continues to be one of the safer precincts in the city — with far less violent crime than most other commands. As of July, Melendez’s biggest concern was an uptick in non-violent crimes like grand larcenies. The nominating committee working to replace Melendez includes Community Board 8 chair Laura Spalter and district manager Ciara Gannon. Also getting a voice are 50th Precinct Community Council president Paulette Shomo and vice president Gregory Adames. They all join members appointed by Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. Although Melendez’s successor hasn’t yet been named, Shomo says she’s quite happy with this community-driven process.
MICHAEL HINMAN
Capt. Emilio Melendez said good-bye to the 50th Precinct — and the New York Police Department overall — earlier this month after more than 30 years on the force. Part of the process for choosing Melendez’s replacement as precinct commander involves a nominating committee made up of community members tasked with interviewing applicants. “I’ve been president of the precinct (council) for many years,” Shomo said. “And this would be my first time in all of the years I’ve been there that they’ve had this type of candidacy program. This is a new process, and I think it’s a good process. And I’m hoping that they’ll implement it more in the future.” The nominating committee interviewed sever-
al candidates earlier this month, Shomo said. The committee used this time to ask the candidates several questions about how they’d lead the 5-0. “We got to hear what the candidates had to say and then figure out how we felt,” Shomo said. “Their knowledge of the system. Their thoughts on the officers who need help mentally, in regard to wellness programs, because we’ve lost some
officers because of suicide. Their thoughts about the area where the 50th Precinct is.” Committee members also asked the candidates about their plans for building relationships with the community. “I know, it’s very important to the board that we collaborate closely with the precinct, with the commanding officer,” Spalter said. “So, we had questions along that vein. We were interested in their crime reduction plans. How they would address crime and quality of life issues, traffic safety. The kinds of things that we have in the 50th Precinct.” Once interviews were completed, Spalter said, the committee rated each of the candidates, including what factors were considered in support of their evaluations. Their recommendations were then sent to Shea for a final decision. The NYPD will announce its choice soon, Spalter said, but no one knows when that announcement will happen. While the commissioner gets final say, Shomo hopes Shea seriously considers her committee’s recommendations. “I hope that the selection that’s done in regard to the new captain of the 50th is well taken care of,” Shomo said. “That they have read our reports and who we feel the next person should be for the captaincy. And that they take into consideration what we put down in our reports in regard to each candidate.”
Eating outside the new normal? HIRAM ALEJANDRO DURÁN
Flooding has been more extensive than usual at 2727 Palisade Ave., recently — not because of glosbal warming and more intense tropical storm systems, but from what neighbors say was unnecessary roadwork by the city’s transportation department that removed culverts and other drainage mechanisms.
Neighbors blame Ida flooding on DOT DOT FLOOD from page A1 our concerns about the project,” she said. “‘Let’s see what we can do to come to a solution.’” This work was important, DOT told the group, because it was part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Vision Zero plan. “This is a very safe intersection,” Serri said. “Everybody was really appalled in the lack of transparency in this and community involvement.” Ultimately, the DOT ignored their request, Serri said — even after her neighbors convinced some of the local electeds to make on-site inspections. “Elected officials also tried interceding and asked them to stop until the community could get involved and give its input,” Serri said. But instead, “they escalated the project.” When DOT first presented its plans to Community Board 8, Serri said, the project didn’t appear to be anywhere near as extensive as it ultimately was. “It just morphed into this monstrosity,” she said. Serri later joined a working group formed by CB8’s traffic and transportation committee to address the issues they feared would result from this work. The hope was to develop a compromise with DOT before the work moved forward. It never happened. The problems at 2727 Palisade since are no surprise to Lewis Wunderlich. “We’ve never experienced rain like this,” he said. “We’ve never had significant flooding like we recently experienced.” Wunderlich, who has a background in engineering, has lived in the building since 1986. He believes the problem could be the height of the sidewalk,
causing rainwater to flow in a curve toward his building as opposed to flowing straight into a catch basin that is designed to collect runoff. In addition, the sidewalk on the co-op side seems to be lower than that of the newer sidewalk. Creating even more potential problems with flooding are two transformers Con Edison maintains near the sidewalk. Wunderlich believes they can short circuit in floodwaters, causing the building to lose power. In video shot by one of 2727 Palisade’s board members, flooding could be seen all along the sidewalks, the building’s entrance, and even streams of water flowing into the lobby. Water itself is inconvenient enough. But after the June 24 collapse of a residential condominium building in Surfside, Florida, structural integrity has become a big concern for many. But none more than those at 2727 Palisade. It’s still not confirmed what caused the Surfside collapse, killing 98 people, but Wunderlich says the floodwaters have caused new concern for himself and others who live there. “We found that water was seeping into our foundation walls into our garage,” he said. Some believe that water intrusion could threaten 2727 Palisade’s structural integrity. “We’ve never had any water breach this building,” Wunderlich said. “Ever. Not even during Hurricane Sandy.” When the sidewalk was first under construction, then-DOT commissioner Polly Trottenberg visited the site, following similar oversight from Bronx DOT commissioner Nivardo Lopez.

Many thought such attention would bring action. Instead, the transportation department proposed alternative solutions, but has not followed up since May. Trottenberg has since taken a new job with the Biden administration as the deputy transportation secretary under Pete Buttigieg, while back home, nothing is happening except a fear of another bad rain storm. “That’s where we stand,” Wunderlich said. “They’ve basically blown us off. Now we’ve had two floods, we’ve lost phone service, and (have) other issues.” Co-op residents are footing the bill for repairs, but many believe this is a check DOT should be forced to pick up. “It’s not right what they did,” Serri said. “Now we have to pay for the damages done to our building that’s been caused by their negligence.”
Biaggi leads way forward in ethics reform JCOPE from page A1 er critics have a single target: the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, the watchdog responsible for enforcing ethics and lobbying rules in Albany. It was founded in 2011 through legislation sponsored by Cuomo and pushed by then-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and senate majority leader Dean Skelos — both of whom later faced legal trouble of their own. Silver was convicted of corruption in 2015 and was expelled by the Assembly. Skelos was convicted the same year for corruption and bribery, but was later released from prison into house arrest because of the coronavirus pandemic. Silver remains behind bars. Since its inception, critics have accused JCOPE of ignoring major ethics violations by Cuomo and his allies. “What we have seen with JCOPE is that they’ve mishandled cases related to sexual harassment against powerful legislators,” Biaggi said. “We’ve seen them mishandle certain internal investigations or drag their feet. They use this excuse that they don’t have enough resources. But the reality is that they don’t do their jobs.” That’s why Biaggi called the commission’s executive director, Judge
Sanford Berland, before her investigative senate committee late last month. Also attending were representatives of good government groups like the New York Public Interest Research Group and Common Cause New York. Biaggi also introduced legislation that aims to address many of what she sees as JCOPE’s structural defects. “We have an opportunity — after one of the most corrupt governors in the history of our state has now left office — to really create something that is meaningful, that actually works,” Biaggi said. “And also, that takes ethics seriously.” Blair Horner, executive director of the Public Interest Research Group, says JCOPE has been ineffective because of how its members are appointed, as well as how its internal rules are designed. “The commission’s structure is appointees from the people that JCOPE oversees,” Horner said. “Then you have these byzantine rules that basically allow the commission to block an investigation, even if the majority of the commissioners want things to go ahead. So, it was designed to fail. And it has.” Many of JCOPE’s 14 commissioners are directly appointed by the gov-
ernor and legislative leaders from the majority parties in both chambers — all of whom are frequently the target of its investigations. Additionally, in certain cases, a small number of commissioners have the power to block votes by a majority of their colleagues. Biaggi says her bill would allow legislative leaders from both the majority and minority parties to appoint two members each. This would replace the current system, which gives those appointments to legislative leaders of parties that were in the majority when the agency was created in 2011. Second, Biaggi said, it would remove the requirement that JCOPE can only investigate and find officials guilty of wrongdoing if two commissioners from their own political party vote for it. It would replace this system with a straight majority vote from any of the members. And lastly, the bill also establishes a straight majority vote for choosing the agency’s executive director. While Biaggi believes her bill would fix many of JCOPE’s fundamental issues, it’s still really a short-term solution. The only way to bring true ethics reform, she says, is to start all over and replace JCOPE with a new
ethics watchdog established through a state constitutional amendment. Fortunately, Horner said, Manhattan state Sen. Liz Kruger has sponsored just an amendment. Essentially, it would scrap JCOPE altogether, replacing it with an ethics watchdog Kruger says is truly independent and non-partisan. The new agency would be modeled after the state’s judicial conduct commission — the oversight agency for those on the bench. But such legislation won’t become law overnight. In fact, the soonest Kruger’s measure could take effect is 2024 because constitutional amendments require votes in two consecutive legislative terms before they can be signed into law. The current term ends next year. “Sen. Biaggi’s bill is how do you provide lifeboats to the Titanic when you’re trying to rearrange the deckchairs as compared to making a new boat,” Horner said. “Which is what Kruger does. (It’s) really sort of the Band-Aid to making the existing fatally flawed system work better. “While people sort of try to scratch their heads and figure out how to make an ethics enforcement agency, an ethics watchdog agency. That works.”
OUTDOOR DINING from page A1 in terms of structural concerns. Some of them are so weak and badly constructed that one car taps it, and the whole thing goes down, as we saw on (West) 256th Street and Riverdale Avenue.” Moerdler is referring to an outdoor dining area in front of Connaughton’s Riverdale Steak House, which was destroyed last winter after a car reportedly skidded out of control in the snowy intersection and collided with the structure, collapsing its roof. The incident happened late at night, so no one was inside the structure when it collapsed. Moerdler also took issue with the DOT’s plan to leave the outdoor dining structures up during the wintertime when clearing streets of snow is a much higher priority. “So now we’re going to have the situation of snow, accumulated snow, sanitation piling up snow, the roadway café and” sidewalk cafes, he said. “There is a disregard of transportation on the vehicular side.” The city would require restaurant owners to take down outdoor dining structures between November and March, Lopez said, but added certain exceptions would be made for owners who filed hardship waivers. But who would oversee all this, Moerdler asked? There wasn’t enough accountability in the proposed program for his liking. “This is self-certification,” Moerdler said “An architect or an owner of one of these sidewalk places can certify it on his own without an architect or an engineer attesting to its appropriateness in terms of architectural design or safety.” Moerdler loves the idea of sidewalk cafés, but had had issues with safety there, as well. But city officials are well aware of these concerns, Lopez said. They don’t expect there to be issues going forward as part of a more permanent program. “We are going to create a dedicated enforcement arm for this program,” the transportation commissioner said. “Right now, what we’ve been doing is we’ve been pulling inspectors — from our sidewalk inspectors or roadway inspectors, we’ve been pulling inspectors from (the buildings department), under a permit program.” All enforcement would be housed under the transportation department through a dedicated unit, Lopez added. “This sort of system now,” he said, “where we just issue warnings and then eventually issue a cease-anddesist, will be replaced by a system of fines and removals.” The original outdoor café program was administered by the city’s consumer and worker protection department, but was said to include a complicated application process for restaurants. If the city has its way, a permanent outdoor dining program would be administered by the DOT. Right now, Lopez said, eateries can more easily apply for extensions under the temporary program to maintain dining on nearby sidewalks and roadways. Moerdler believes the city is rushing its outdoor dining plan, blinding officials to potential problems down the road. The temporary program remains in effect while New York City tries to avoid a major delta variant outbreak in the ongoing coronavirus public health crisis. But even if the pandemic itself finally comes to an end at some point in the near future, officials said they expect to see the temporary outdoor dining continue until at least next year.

First rule of Female Fight Club? Secure new studio n Joanna Edmondson gives COVID-era fitness group a permanent home By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
When the coronavirus pandemic shut down New York City in March 2020, gyms and health clubs were among the first businesses to close their doors. And some never reopened. One of those gyms was the Kingsbridge location of 24 Hour Fitness, permanently shuttering that June. But while COVID-19 spelled the end for one location of a national chain, it actually gave birth to a much different homegrown fitness group — the Female Fight Club. In only a little more than a year’s time, Female Fight Club founder Joanna Edmondson has grown her group from a small contingent exercising in Van Cortlandt Park to what is now her own studio at 5919 Riverdale Ave. “I get a lot of the question, ‘How did you do this?’” Edmondson said. “I really don’t have a blueprint for it. I feel like it was all done from love and compassion. I repeat those words a lot. Love and compassion. Because I feel like at that time, a lot of us were in a lot of fear.” Ironically, “love and compassion” was intended to be the theme of a class Edmondson was supposed to teach the day after the pandemic started. “So, those two words are stuck in my head.” The new North Riverdale studio space held its grand opening earlier
this month, taking over a storefront across from the Riverdale post office that was once the home of a Mathnasium tutoring franchise. With her team of nine instructors, Edmondson offers a variety of exercise classes including Zumba, Pilates, yoga and kickboxing. And now that the studio’s opened, Edmondson has officially left her career as a schoolteacher to run Female Fight Club full-time. Edmondson originally conceived Female Fight Club in 2019, she said, thinking of it as a space where women could come together for boxing classes. But because Edmondson had a full plate with her family and school, she just couldn’t make her idea a reality. Then the coronavirus came. Suddenly, Edmondson had the time and the motivation to get the club up and running. “I started it because I felt like women needed a platform and needed a place during the pandemic,” Edmondson said. “A lot of the group fitness classes were the first things that went. Everything was shut down (like) group fitness classes, which is what (a majority of) women do. “Group classes are best for women. (They are) where we feel motivated. Where the community exists, and we feel supported.” The absence of group fitness classes — finally pushed Edmondson to start exercising with some friends near Vannie’s Tortoise and Hare statue. Slowly, more and more people started joining her workouts until a woman named Sandra shared a story with Edmondson that convinced her the club could really become a community.
Hiram alEJanDro DUrÁn
Joanna Edmondson stands in front of the sign for her new Female Fight club studio space at 5919 riverdale ave. Edmondson started the club last year during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. “She told me a little bit of her story and how she was stressed out at home and depressed, and the anxiety,” Edmondson said. “You could see the despair. And after that, I felt like this platform should be open to all the women in the community.” Using some 90 workouts she developed, Edmondson hosted a variety of free classes six days a week beginning at 9 in the morning and running to just after lunch. These workout sessions included activities like total body conditioning and yoga, followed by downtime where group members could socialize. One of the fight club’s longtime members, Belqui Rodriguez, said
the outdoor workouts provided some much-needed stress relief from her work as a domestic violence counselor. It also helped a few of her clients, who joined Rodriguez on some of her workouts. “Just working out and making them feel good about themselves was one of the basic things,” Rodriguez said. “Just seeing that smile. Seeing that they’re enjoying the exercise, the outcome of everything with the Female Fight Club was just to bring something positive to the ladies.” The club may have helped a number of women, but the city’s parks department wasn’t too keen on what Edmondson was trying to accomplish,
she said. Worried about the growing size of the club, parks officials kept telling Edmondson to move her workouts to new locations. She says she ultimately moved around Van Cortlandt Park four times. Eventually, dealing with the parks department and carrying the equipment led Edmondson to want a permanent indoor space for the club. “Even though we had more space in the park, we wanted more,” Edmondson said. “To be in a more committed and more structured place, and be more consistent with this ‘fight’ that we have. That we want to continue giving a fighting chance to ourselves to stay healthy mentally and physically. And now we have more options.” And Edmondson’s new studio has done exactly that. It gives her the freedom to hold classes at night, which was difficult to do in the park. The space also allows them to have equipment, like ceiling-mounted TRX resistance bands, that expand the kinds of classes Edmondson and her team can teach. Opening a new studio and buying new equipment also meant the Female Fight Club could no longer offer free classes. Now they charge for memberships. Although Rodriguez says she’s going to miss the outdoor workouts at Vannie, she’s really excited about the new studio — and the community — Edmondson created. “She’s an amazing person. She did something great for the community,” Rodriguez said. “The (grand) opening was awesome. I was there with her. And I’m still going to be there with her.”
Teenager cooks up ideas for her own cupcake business n At 15, Lucy Kassel shows some serious entrepreneurial spirit By JILLEEN BARRETT Special to The Riverdale Press
Some teens saw the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic as an extended spring break from school. But not Lucy Kassel. Instead, the 15-year-old sought a creative outlet, starting her own cupcake business: Little Lamb Cupcakes. In fact, it’s become a passion project for Lucy during her extra downtime while much of the world remained locked down. A drama student at the Professional Performing Arts School in Hell’s Kitchen, Lucy learned how to make cupcakes as a young girl using her grandmother’s recipe. But it wasn’t until she got into ta Food Network baking competition show that Lucy decided to give it a shot herself. “I started watching ‘Cupcake Wars,’ and I was like, ‘Well, I can do that,’” Lucy said. But Lucy’s life is more than just moist treats. She also keeps herself busy with other activities like figure skating and the dramatic arts. She even attended a sleep-away camp for the summer, prompting her at one point to put her business on pause. “At first I thought that I didn’t

I can multitask.’” Lucy got to work making red velvet, chocolate and vanilla mini cupcakes for various events, such as last summer’s Pride Shabbat at the Riverdale Temple as well as local parties. Getting compliments, Lucy realized there could be a way to turn this hobby into something that could generate revenue. She started charging $10 for the first dozen, and a dollar less for each dozen beyond that. She created an Instagram account for the business that also provided her customers an
OBITUARIES
Solomon Marin, who loved family, salsa, 70 Solomon Marin was born Feb. 8, 1951, in New York City. He was the only child of Violet Turner and Joachim Marin. He grew up in Brooklyn and attended Catholic school from kindergarten through 12th grade. He was involved with the church, and served as an altar boy for several years. After graduating high school, he attended Queens College, where he met future wife Barbara. Following graduation, he continued his education, earning a master’s degree in social work from Columbia University. He shared his expertise as a counselor at the Cancer Care Center in Manhattan, and continued on with his private practice mentoring at-risk children before joining the city’s education department. His students and colleagues had the utmost respect and love for Mr. Marin. He and Barbara were married Oct. 20, 1979, and were happily married for 42 years. Their union was blessed with a daughter, Salise Nicole Marin, on July 14, 1996. Salise is their pride and joy, and will forever remain daddy’s little girl. If you asked him about Salise, he would take out his phone in a flash to show you a video of her in a dance performance, or teaching a dance class. He was a proud papa, indeed! He had a number of special
interests and hobbies. Back in the day, he and Barbara would roller skate at least five days a week. They would go to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Yonkers — wherever they could find a rink. He also had a passion for oldschool music and salsa dancing. He took salsa lessons two to three times a week, and went to salsa clubs to practice. He played chess — another one of solomon his passions — with school marin colleagues, strangers and friends in the park and online. Wherever he could find a chessboard and a competitor, he was down for a game. He loved his drones. He had small ones and the huge ones that could take pictures or deliver mail and packages. He even got the mandatory license to fly drones, and would share his love for drones by giving them away as gifts. He had a passion for life! He leaves to mourn his wife and daughter, and a host of inlaws, nieces, nephews, cousins, long-life friends and neighbors. He will be sorely missed, but will remain in his family’s hearts forever.
order form. As she became more invested in baking, Lucy started experimenting with different recipes. Although she mostly uses
baking techniques perfected by her grandmother, she adapted her own version of the cream cheese icing used to top her red velvet cupcakes. “My favorite type of cupcake is a red velvet with cream cheese frosting and red sprinkles,” Kassel said. “I brought both red velvet and chocolate for (a school party), and the red velvet was the most popular.” Her mom, Carol, says Lucy is motivated to pursue this business on her own. In fact, the only help Carol and wife Sherry provided Lucy were cupcake molds and transportation for deliveries. “She’s got this entrepreneurial spirit, which is something that I don’t really have,” Carol said. “I’m just not that kind of person. I don’t suppose I encouraged her, per se, I think it’s more that the motivation came from her, and I just provided the suggestions and infrastructure.”
While her parents may not have encouraged the idea of the Little Lamb Cupcakes, Lucy did say her moms helped her see the reality of owning a small business. Managing the number of orders, how much money she puts into it, and dealing with issues lUcy that may not KassEl be as fun as baking were a few of the things they warned her about. Yet, that didn’t stop Lucy. “They more helped me bring my expectations lower,” Lucy said. “They were like, ‘You have to realize you’re going to have to put some of your own money into it.’” After Little Lamb Cupcakes began, Lucy turned to a friend
for a personalized logo that has become a key part of Little Lamb packaging. “I had a vision in mind, and I came up with the name,” Lucy said. “My best friend, Romi Drubetskoy, draws all the time, and I love her drawing. So, I was like, ‘Romi, I will give you cupcakes if you draw this for me.’ So, she came to my house and we drew a bunch of sketches. And then we decided on one that we both liked.” While she may be exploring the arts for high school, Kassel is gravitating toward a career in law or business — particularly because she wants to have a family. “When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer, either criminal or a tax attorney,” Kassel said. But “I’ve always really admired small businesses, and I like managing things. So, if this were to take off, I would not be opposed to it.”

Grandparents Day celebrates 60 years where it all started n This year’s festivities remained subdued with COVID-19 still circulating By VALERIE KAUFMAN Special to The Riverdale Press
Grandparents Day is now old enough to be a grandparent itself. But just like the grandparents who reside at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, Grandparents Day remains vibrant six decades after first being introduced in the Bronx — especially from its Palisade Avenue birthplace. While the ongoing coronavirus pandemic may have dampened some of the hoopla surrounding the special day, many of the Hebrew Home’s residents were treated to a luncheon on Sept. 12, along with a commemorative T-shirt and a concert. Families shared the day with their loved ones, sending short videos that were included as part of the festivities. Dan Reingold, the Hebrew Home’s chief executive officer, said the day was about celebrating everything the residents did during their lives, “and everything they’re doing now.” He called the event a “celebration of aging.” Reingold first attended Grandparents Day at the Hebrew Home as a child when his father, Jacob Reingold, filled the facility’s chief executive chair. According to Dan Reingold, his father first got the idea to honor grandparents after attending a White House aging conference in early 1961. Dwight D. Eisenhower was in his final days as president, but that didn’t stop him from talking about how there was a Mother’s Day and a Father’s

our campus.” The residents also planned to take a moment to think about how COVID-19 has changed life over the past 18 months or so. “Older adults got hit harder than any other population,” Reingold said. In fact, many of the stricken were caretakers themselves. Nearly 8 million children live in households headed by grandparents or other relatives, according to Generations United, meaning many ultimately could not evade the virus no matter how much they tried. This year’s celebration also recognized many of the Hebrew Home’s centenarians — a dozen of them, in fact, ranging in age from 100 to 107. Each received a corsage and a written tribute. Generations United — the Washington-based organization that aims to bring people of all ages together — has pushed Grandparents Day since 2012 with the theme “do something grand.” That means grandparents reaching out and sharing their wisdom with younger people, while kids and teens make time to spend with their grandparents. To add to it, the group also encouraged many younger people to change their social media profile to their grandparent or special older adult in their lives. In the end, Grandparents Day is all about celebrating the very people who paved the way for society today. “You know, when you think about elderly people and really how isolated” they are, Reingold said, the day is a way of “reminding people that we have to step up as a community to honor our elderly. And to help out in any way we can.”
PRESS POINTS Morgan gives Sam’s Pizza national plug If you’re Tracy Morgan, there’s only one place in the world to get a slice of pizza. And it’s found right in the middle of Kingsbridge. The comedian and former “30 Rock” star visited “The Kelly Clarkson Show” last week to share some of his secrets of New York City. One of them? Sam’s Pizza at 232 W. 231st St. “I don’t eat anybody’s pizza,” Morgan told Clarkson. “I went to L.A., and eat some pizza, and I spit that out. Sammy’s on West 231st and Broadway in the
Bronx, is the best pizza ever.” Clarkson — the first-ever winner of “American Idol” back in 2002 — kicked off the third season of her Emmy-winning daytime talk show by taping episodes in the city before heading back to her usual Los Angeles studio. Morgan, who in the past shared his personal story of moving up from a “run-down” apartment near Yankee Stadium to a home in Riverdale, also plugged his alma mater, Clinton High School. He told Clarkson he dropped out of high school in 1987 after his father died from AIDS complications, but the school later gave him an
honorary diploma during his first year on “Saturday Night Live.” As for Sam’s Pizza, what makes it great? “It’s all in the sauce,” Morgan said. “A lot of people be getting away with stuff where it’s just cheese and bread. “But the sauce is where the money is.” Morgan is set to return in his critically acclaimed TBS series “The Last O.G.” on Oct. 23. He’s also reportedly gearing up to join Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy in the Ivan Reitman film “Triplets,” a follow-up to the 1988 hit comedy “Twins.”
Feds deliver grant to help homeless youth New York City has picked up a $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development it plans to earmark for youth homelessness. The grant is part of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program, and is intended to support a wide range of new housing and service interventions to prevent and end youth homelessness. The city plans to use the funds through its “Continuum of Care” program — a coalition of homeless housing and shel-
ter providers, consumers, advocates and government officials — which will work with various partners, including young people themselves, to develop a community plan designed to curb homelessness. “This latest federal grant will advance the city’s ongoing efforts to connect youth experiencing homelessness in New York City to the resources and services they need to get back on their feet,” said Steven Banks, commissioner of the city’s social services department, in a release. That includes “funding the development of several new transitional and supportive housing facilities.”
By Michael hinMan Metro-North slowly getting back to speed Metro-North Railroad has resumed regular Hudson Line service, restoring more than 80 percent of its pre-pandemic capacity after recovering from flooding resulting from the remnants of Hurricane Ida earlier this month. But not everything will be completely fixed, officials said. Some train times will be adjusted to reflect earlier departures and slightly longer trip times because of reduced capacity after landslides and culvert damage. That creates an extra five minutes of travel.

What’s on? African American art from 20th century celebrated
The Hudson River Museum, 511 Warburton Ave., in Yonkers, is set to debut its latest exhibition, “African American Art in the 20th Century,” beginning Oct. 15. Set to run through Jan. 16, this collection features more than 30 African American artists who came to during the period bracketed by the Harlem Renaissance starting in the 1920s, to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Drawn from the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the exhibition includes masterworks by iconic artists such as Romare Bearden, Beauford Delaney, Jacob Lawrence and Loïs Mailou Jones — ranging in style from modern abstraction to stained color to the postmodern assemblage of found objects. Joining that exhibit is “Jamel Robinson: Beauty from Ashes,” from the museum’s teaching artist-in-residence. It consists of five works, including a mixed-media created specifically for the exhibition. The new piece is inspired by sculptures from Melvin Edwards, Richard Hunt and Sargent Johnson. Other pieces drew inspiration from Whitfield Lovell and Renée Stout. Other upcoming events include: • Curator tour of “African American Art in the 20th Century” on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 1 p.m. • Poetry reading and responsive writing with teaching artist-in-residence Jamel Robinson on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 1 p.m., which will include a reading of his poem “Home,” followed by a creative writing workshop. • A fabric collage workshop from jewelry designer and artist Donna Chambers on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 1 p.m. • A drawing and painting workshop from teaching artist-in-residence Jamel Robinson on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 1 p.m. • A paper collage workshop from former teaching artist-in-residence Tijay Mohammed on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. For more information about events at the Hudson River Museum, visit HRM.org.

EDITORIAL
Don’t let kids go hungry
C
an you imagine, as just one person, living off $2,200 a month? After rent, food, transportation — there wouldn’t be much left. Now imagine that’s your total income, and you’re supporting a family of four. Yet, one out of every seven children are living with just that. That’s 10 million of our sons and daughters, according to the Children’s Defense Fund. And half of them suffer under extreme poverty, where the entire household makes less than $1,100 each month. The numbers get worse for children of color, where 20 percent of them are poor — and are twice as likely to be poor than white children. The United States of America is the greatest country on this planet, but how can we claim that moniker when millions of our youngest bellies are empty. Or if we can fill them, it’s not exactly with the most nutritious food available to them. The American Rescue Plan passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden not only significantly increased child tax credits for our families in need, it created monthly payments of up to $300 per child — even if the family filed no tax returns last year.
While that might not seem like a lot to those of us who get three square meals a day, for that family of four, their monthly income has just jumped from $2,200 to $2,800. That’s high-quality meat. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Maybe even a treat. It’s some new clothes, or new shoes. Or it’s ensuring the lights stay on and a roof remains over their heads. But these payments won’t last forever. In fact, they won’t last past Christmas — unless Congress does something about it. U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman and his fellow Democrats in the House are ready to extend these life-changing payments. U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are ready to lead their party in the Senate to do the same. But Republicans aren’t on-board. Not because they don’t think children should eat, but because blocking Democrats is far more important to them. Our children aren’t pawns for some Washington political game. They are our future. And if we want America to remain the greatest country on this planet, then we need to take care of them. And we can do it by permanently expanding this vital relief.
POINT OF VIEW
Dinowitz doesn’t represent this community’s values
By ADAM STOLER
W
e all assume that given the makeup of our constituency — i.e., largely Democratic — that we must therefore accept a failed teacher and general incompetent as our local city council representative. For what has Eric Dinowitz to offer but his name, the scion of our local Assemblyman? What qualifies this person to represent the residents in our neighborhood? And what does he stand for in terms of helping our neighborhood address all of its myriad issues and concerns? If we looked carefully at the campaign literature handed out by Eric’s “team,” it showed him fist-bumping a child while wearing a mask. Yes? And? What exactly does that mean? No, Eric, we don’t want your version of “I stand for fairness and peace and justice and families, blah, blah, blah.” That is pure meaningless drivel. It is the expression of true mediocrity, one whose unspoken goal is obviously personal gain, not public service. What are you doing — not just spouting platitudes — about: • The lack of shopping in this neighborhood? Grocery stores other than two really awful versions of Key Food? • The perennial abuse of commercial tenants by Friedland Properties, and the resulting poor quality of services resulting from this abuse? • The departure of banking and a supermarket from population-rich Knolls Crescent? • The absolute disgusting waste of local land in the present physical makeup of the Skyview Shopping Center? • The acceptable redevelopment of the Johnson Avenue Key Food parking lot — a perennial waste of land resources? • The defense of good union jobs at the Key Food in Skyview? Stop just thanking the essential workers — why aren’t you proposing and pushing for affordable housing so that these essential workers can afford to live in our community and better serve our older residents in their own homes? Home attendants are but one example of the growing need being unsatisfyingly met: Those people currently doing the job require a wholly unacceptable three bus trips to come to work. The diversity they’d bring would help stabilize the neighborhood, and actually help grow it. And what about abuses emanating from the many bad apples in the 50th Precinct? The many bad apples whose animosity is front and center — their “us versus them” attitude plainly visible in how they respond to our community? And don’t forget about protecting historical — but not necessarily legally protected — sites like Villa Rosa Bonheur. You have not addressed any of these community-impacting concerns. Sure, your physical office on West 231st Street — Andrew Cohen’s old one — might answer a question about lack of a garbage pickup, or a hazardous wire hanging on a block, because all politics are local.
Mazel tov. Even an analog clock is correct twice a day. However, the bigger picture is also local, and someone with leadership skills would understand this. They would have the vision and gumption to, well, lead. But when one’s head is only concerned with assuming one’s entitled place in the local pantheon of hacks, the bigger picture goes unseen. Eric’s lack of insight into the bigger issues is fundamentally the result of entitlement: Selected by the old boys network of the Benjamin Franklin (non)-Reform Democratic Club — nothing short of a holdover from 19th century Tammany Hall politics here in the 21st century. Good God, folks! We can’t do better than this? To wit, how many poll workers got their “jobs” through their affiliation with the club? How many incompetents have this machine placed on the local elections board — which recently managed to screw up the first-time ranked-choice voting in our city? What other insulting and tax-wasting screw-ups are you responsible for that we don’t know about? The two examples help demonstrate the glaring shortfalls of short-term thinking by those using the office. The very same office which is supposed to look after the community, but instead to use it as Andrew Cohen had — to only further their own personal political gains. Eric’s motto may as well be: Keep things as they are, they work for us — past that, who cares? Those who aren’t part of the “us,” Eric, that’s who cares. Those who see the bigger and better things for the neighborhood other than the status quo. Not moving forward is moving backward. The old corporate rule that mediocrity rises to the top is apt for these folks in the good old boys network. Eric Dinowitz, self-entitled inheritor of a political dynasty here in Riverdale, will eventually learn what Oliver Koppell learned — that there comes a point when voters say “enough is enough.” To do that, fellow neighbors of our great neighborhood, we need to organize behind one candidate. Canvas and do a Bernie Sanders/Indivisible-style campaign to rid our neighborhood of such mediocrity. It is ultimately up to us. Even if we do a write-in campaign in November. Who is going to step up and help lead us out of the morass of mediocrity? Who is ready to put community and neighborhood above personal ambition? We can settle for 21st century Tammany Hall with our very own Trump-style Republicans here in Riverdale, masquerading as “caring Democrats.” Or we can send them packing. The good old boys network is unraveling elsewhere in our great city. It needs to be unraveled here in the Bronx. The “Non-Reform Club” is running out of gas — let’s put the last nails in their nasty little non-inclusive coffin, and start building a better Riverdale for all of us. Eric Dinowitz is most assuredly not the way forward.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Many policy failures since W To the editor: In my dissertation “Foreign Policy and Military Strategy,” I identify three major characteristics of comprehensive moral foreign policy, used to examine every foreign policy since JFK up to and including Joe Biden. Let us apply them to the actions of George W. Bush and examine how Americans ignore the evils of a broken party system. Honesty of intention is the first precept, and is a standard by which the actions of every president can be evaluated in personal, historic, economic and social terms. Any policy from any president that does not exhibit this quality is not a foreign policy, but merely ideas that direct action toward ignorant ideologies. Post-Sept. 11, we had the broken party system on steroids, and George W. Bush with unrestrained power. All of the presidents have had hidden agendas, but none operated to directly manipulate the American press in such a fashion that the American public was sold into wars that he and his cronies wanted to initiate. Surely there was no honesty of intention here, and his actions with that bullhorn on that day belie the facts. The victims were not even cold. His actions were more about his ability to wage war than the families who were suffering. It was a national disgrace, and Americans need to get a clue. For the second precept — identification of the enemy — congruent and comprehensive policies cover all kinds of topics, both domestic and foreign. Certainly, foreign policy is also about trade, immigration, and aid to foreign nations as much as it is about military strategy. However, for the purpose of the history of our many wars and their relationship with the policies, we have this standard. We have had wars
on “drugs,” “communism” and also “terrorism.” Bush used the sacred power entrusted in him and contorted it to his own purposes by declaring another “-ism” as an enemy that was a nonsense analysis in terms of his actions toward peace. The forever war — that Joe Biden cut and ran from — was initiated by a president who stole a presidential election, manipulated the American press, and left office just months after the second-worst financial crisis in American history. He tapped into the anger of the religious right, and extended a destructive militarism as far as he could reach. George Bush was no hero president, and does not deserve any national acclaim. Judgment regarding national self-determination is the precept that is misunderstood, ignored or corrupted by most presidents to be evaluated. Bush is the perfect example of this violation. He stated he was not in the business of “nation building,” so I guess he thought we could just eliminate a nasty dictator, take over the oil fields, and all would be right with the world. His world. His “mission accomplished” charade was yet another manipulation of the press as fake as any movie production from Ronald Reagan. Even if our military does not belong via ignorant policies, the occupation must be reconciled to a mission cast in terms of national self-determination. Once we are committed, “cut and run” is never an option for the freedom of a national people and lasting peace in the world. Leaving weapons and armaments in the hands of the enemy is a sacrilege. George Walker Bush, and three presidents afterward — each with the worst policy failures in U.S. history. Mark ahearn
Dismissing fantasyland nonsense To the editor:
(re: “The election is over — move on,” Aug. 26)
A president lowers the capital gains tax from 28 percent to 20 percent. He puts a two-year limit on welfare. I wrote at that time in October 1996 that this will probably not only mean an increase in the working poor, but an explosion in the working homeless. I wasn’t a prophet. I simply knew that if you force people to take jobs that don’t pay a living wage, they can’t afford rent. He also signed the North American Free Trade Agreement and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade that helped export jobs, among other things. But somehow Helen Morik and Ira Bigeleisen think Bill Clinton was progressive. Another president started a 30-year, $1 trillion nuclear modernization in 2016. Apparently he feels we can’t blow up the world enough times over. He supported a coup in Honduras in 2009, and then opposed letting those fleeing the new, brutal government immigrate to the United States. He supported the Ukraine coup in 2015 and Saudi Arabia’s brutal war against Yemen. He fired Shirley Sherrod from the agriculture department based on a dishonestly edited Breitbart video that falsely made her appear to be a racist. But Morik and Bigeleisen considered Barack Obama a progressive. The following week, there’s a letter from Andrea Tekirian (re: “Just don’t believe the government,” Sept. 2) that ignores reality. Despite the government’s track record with the truth, you can believe them when they say wear a mask and get vaccinated. Nearly 100 percent of those currently getting the virus are not vaccinated, and nearly 100 percent of those vaccinated are not getting the virus. If everyone without a legitimate medical reason to decline the vaccine got it, the pandemic would be over. Also on fantasyland are some union leaders. If they fought as hard against wage freezes and “raises” that don’t keep up with inflation as they do against vaccine mandates, their workers would be living much better. Communication Workers of America president Gloria Middleton has filed an unfair labor practices complaint against the city for requiring all education department employees to be vaccinated. She says “our job is to protect the rights of our members.” I didn’t realize getting a horrible disease and possibly dying was a labor right. Moving on to other nonsense, I could never figure out how Trump supporters could fall for someone telling them he’ll take away their health insurance and replace it with something better
without being told what the replacement would be. Also, who falls for someone saying the election is only rigged if he loses? In baseball, I could never understand how the Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to pay Trevor Bauer more money ($28 million) in a season than anybody in the history of baseball. This is based on one great season, and another great partial season. As for the Houston Astros cheating scandal being talked about, how about this? If Billy Martin were alive and managed the New York Yankees in 2017, he would have noticed the trash can banging before every breaking pitch. He would have told the catcher to call for that pitch, and then told the pitcher to throw a high, inside fastball. After the Astros’ batter wound up on his butt, that nonsense would have ended. Now let’s deal with music. Someone’s got to insist that Rock & Roll Hall of Fame officials explain how the boring Doobie Brothers can be inducted while one of the greatest singers of all time, Patty LaBelle, is still not in. Then there’s political correctness run amok. So the Dixie Chicks have to change their name because “Dixie” is now taboo? What about a Black female singing trio from the 1960s, The Dixie Cups, whose hits included two of my all-time favorites — “Chapel of Love” and “People Say”? What about the Black gospel group the Dixie Hummingbirds, who Paul Simon fans may remember for their contributions to the classic albums, “There Goes Rhymin’ Simon” and “Live Rhymin’”? Also, should all the great recordings — some straight-out masterpieces — attacking racism, sexism and oppression by John Lennon, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, Randy Newman and The Temptations that use the “n-word” be banned? Then there’s Bill Cosby released on a legal technicality. Even in the unlikely event that all 70 women are lying about being raped, he admits to having sex with them. He also admits to giving them Quaaludes. So the man who used his classic television show to preach against consensual fornication and marijuana use thinks repeatedly cheating on his wife is OK. As for climate change, we need to make public transit less time-consuming. People will not travel two hours when they can drive somewhere in 30 minutes. Also, some trips are not available by public transit. You have to drive or take a cab. Finally, with John Lennon’s birthday coming Oct. 9, will someone give him a real tribute? Perhaps this year, one of the few radio stations that still play Lennon’s recordings, could do just that. richard Warren

HOME OF THE WEEK Sean Trebach of Trebach Realty
A home ready to receive your loving ownership R ipe for renovation, this four-bedroom, two full- and two half-bathroom brick house was built in 1963 to help accentuate what’s already a leafy, tree-lined street. Find your way to 5421 Arlington Ave., for a home featuring a white-columned entry portico, central hall, living room with eastern windows, formal dining room, family room with marble wood-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the patio. You’ll also discover a spacious eat-in kitchen, master bedroom suite with win-
dowed master bathroom. The storage attic is accessible by pull-down stairs. And even the basement is ready for you, finished for anything from a recreation room, to office and storage, or even a half-bathroom and laundry hall. There’s an attached two-car garage, a private six-car driveway, and central airconditioning. It’s also close to just about everything — Wave Hill, schools, MetroNorth trains, and even express buses to both sides of Manhattan. Move in today for just $1.25 million.
