Advocates call it vote to make voting easier By ETHAN STARK-MILLER

It’s no secret that in New York City, political contests are usually decided in primaries. General elections? More often than not, they are nothing more than a formality. That’s thanks to the city’s solidly blue political makeup. And it’s why many already see it as a foregone conclusion that Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams will be the city’s next mayor, even though he has yet to beat his Republican rival, Curtis Sliwa. The same also is true for a majority of the other upcoming November contests for positions that include city council, comptroller and public advocate. So, why should anyone care about the November general elections this year?
BALLOT
SESSION
Occasional series featuring candidates, proposals found on November’s general election ballot.
The answer can be found on the backside of the ballot, where voters will have the opportunity to vote on five proposals that, if passed, would amend various parts of the state constitution. Each of these proposals started out as a bill in front of both the Assembly and senate, which were required to pass both chambers in two consecutive legislative sessions. The proposals address several areas that include making alterations to the redistricting process, giving state residents a right to environmental protections, and increasing the amount of money people can sue for in New York City civil courts. But it’s the third and fourth provisions — intended to make voting easier — that
would most clearly accomplish the longtime goals of good government groups like Common Cause New York and the Let NY Vote coalition. “They are long-standing priorities of ours,” said Common Cause’s executive director Susan Lerner. “The two amendments help bring our elections up to a 21st century standard.” The third ballot proposal would lift the state constitutional requirement that voters must register at least 10 days SUE before an election. And DODELL currently that’s even more restrictive, Lerner added, because state law stipulates voters must register at least 25 days before an election. Because the registration deadlines aren’t intuitive, they often make it harder for people to vote, Lerner said. This is especially true for people who just moved to New York from another state, recently
turned 18, or just attained U.S. citizenship. “Our registration process is often confusing,” Lerner said. “The deadlines are not well publicized. And so people are often disenfranchised inadvertently from their point of view. Where they find out, ‘Oh my God, it had never occurred to me that the deadline would be that far away from the election. I didn’t know, otherwise I would have registered.’” While the amendment would eliminate the 10-day registration requirement, Lerner said, it wouldn’t immediately implement a new deadline. So, the state legislature will still have to pass a bill setting a new timeline for would-be voters to register. Lerner’s organization supports the idea of same-day registration, she said, which would allow people to sign up to vote on election day itself. “So the purpose here is to remove a barrier,” Lerner said. “To simplify the process. And to allow for registration to take place when the vast majority are paying attention to elections, which is much closer to the EASY VOTING, page A4

Public parks are made for gathering, and those who live around them understand there will be some noise. However, a few people living near Van Cortlandt Park say noise is out of control with late-night partying and loud music.

Samantha Charlip enjoys her peace — if she can find it. Living across from Seton Park, peace has proven to be a difficult state to achieve. Especially the day the trumpeter arrived. “It’s sort of one of those quirks of New
York that you hear people and think it’s bizarre — and also kind of charming,” she said. But such charm has a very small shelf life. The mysterious trumpet player would spend a good part of the weekend blasting his horn in the park. Then, as the weather improved, so did his frequency, moving to several days during the week. The worst part, Charlip said, is he’s no Louis Armstrong. In fact, when it comes to trumpet playing, it’s not even a Neil Armstrong. “It’s definitely a nuisance, and a lot of people in the community have been discussing it,” she said. “So that’s sort of how
I felt about it initially.” Charlip moved to the neighborhood three years ago from Brooklyn expecting to enjoy a more quaint and quiet life Riverdale is often known for. But that changed dramatically when the trumpet player showed up at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Some nearby residents at the park say the noise was often distracting for their children who attended school nearby where the would-be musician would play. Much of the time, his tones would be very off-key, Charlip said, while repeating what she believes to be the same three notes. And the odd behavior didn’t stop there.
“A lot of times it seems like he’ll stop and clean out the trumpet like something is wrong with it, like kind of stare at it and then continues to play,” she said. “And this more or less continues throughout the day.” People have said they’ve actually tried to confront the stranger, often finding he would respond somewhat aggressively manner, Charlip said. “There have been some 311 complaints, as well as calls to Councilman (Eric) Dinowitz’s office,” she said. “But nothing has really gone anywhere.

A very familiar face tops Netflix streaming charts n Spuyten Duyvil’s Becca Lish is one of the ensemble stars of mystery limited series ‘Clickbait’ By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com

ecca Lish never could have predicted how popular her latest project would become. She’s part of an ensemble cast starring in “Clickbait,” a mystery limited television series that didn’t necessarily get a lot of fanfare before dropping on Netflix late last month, but since has become one of the streaming service’s most wellwatched shows this year. “I’m glad that it’s so popular,” Lish said. “It kind of took me by surprise. It seems to me unusual,
and I certainly didn’t expect it. But it’s great.” Lish has spent the past 30 years living in Spuyten Duyvil with her husband, pediatrician Andrew Mutnick, where they raised their two children. Closer to home, she’s more known for her political activism as one of the founders of the IDC Action Group, which played a major role in Alessandra Biaggi’s 2018 state senate victory. But right now, Netflix subscribers can find Lish as Dawn Gleed — an administrative manager many turn to for help — “Clickbait,” a series the Neilsen television audience measurement company says is the most-watched streaming show over the past month. “Clickbait” focuses on seemingly normal family man Nick Brewer — played by “Entourage” star Adrian Grenier — who mysteriously disappears one morning.

Woman slashed by another on Broadway Police say they arrested a woman Sept. 17 shortly after she allegedly slashed and stabbed another woman. The incident took place on the 5200 block of Broadway around 5 p.m., according to cops. It was there they say a 29-year-old woman tried to slash the face of the other, but instead caught her in the neck and in her left arm. Police arrested the attacking woman, charging her with second-degree assault.
Guns and dope stash
Typically keeping a stash of guns and drugs isn’t the best idea if you want to avoid jail time. But it seems like one man arrested Sept. 20 didn’t get that memo. Cops arrested him at around 7:30 that evening after they say they found him with two black handguns and a large quantity of heroin and cocaine. Police say the arrest was part of a larger investigation, so they can’t disclose the overall nature of the crime or its location. But they can say the man they arrested was in his early 50s.
Try, try again
Trial and error might seem like a sound strategy for figuring out which car to steal from. On the other hand, it puts a thief in public view for longer than he might want to be.
That’s exactly what happened in the later evening hours of Sept. 21, according to police when someone reported seeing a thief trying to open several car door handles in his neighborhood before finally finding success with a white Chevy Malibu. Inside, the 39-year-old reportedly found a Louis Vuitton duffel bag containing tools and a knife — all of it valued at more than $1,000. The neighbor was able to bring cops in, who said they arrested him shortly after the crime took place.
Like taking some clothing from a baby Imagine telling your kid when they grow up their baby clothes were once stolen. That’s what some thieves might have to do after doing just that from the shelves of Carter’s baby clothing store at 5550 Broadway. It all went down Sept. 18 at 11:45 a.m., police said, when two women and a man walked into Carter’s empty-handed, and walked back out with $3,900 worth of merchandise. Police described the first woman as Black, around 29, with red hair. The second was Black, around 27, with black hair, while the man was Black, approximately 5-foot-10, weighing 175 pounds.

Feds keep children’s theatre, other venues open n Groups carry on during COVID with help from shuttered venues grant
Local grant recipients
By JOSEPH DE LA CRUZ
More than $21 million in coronavirus pandemic relief funds have made their way to the Bronx in recent months through the Small Business Administration’s Shuttered Venue Operators Grant. Among those locally receiving money:
jdelacruz@riverdalepress.com
Help couldn’t come sooner for Derek and Becky Woods. While many business owners found solace in government assistance such as the Paycheck Protection Program, some non-profits like Riverdale Children’s Theatre — which the Woods run — needed additional assistance to keep their organizations afloat. “For the past year-and-a-half, we have been operating at huge financial losses,” Derek Woods said. “We are now running programs with the same amount of staff to keep our artists working. But for a quarter of the usual revenue of tuition and ticket sales.” The theatre owners were among the first in the community impacted by the state government’s order to shut down indoor venues at the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year. But it wasn’t just about not putting new plays on the stage for the children’s theatre — it also putting a halt to productions it already invested in. Those early days were tricky, and could’ve been worse if it hadn’t been for the community they have entertained. “When the pandemic hit, we shut down quickly,” Woods said. “We had to refund thousands of dollars in tickets and fees, but many families donated them back to the organization to help us survive.” The Woods applied for a PPP loan, but then discovered something that could really help them. It was a program created by the U.S. Small Business Administration last August called the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, designed to provide emergency assistance for venues affected by COVID-19. In August, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced its plan

Members of the Riverdale Children’s Theatre rehearse for their next production, ‘Junie B. Jones’ — a production that has a much better chance of happening in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic thanks to more than $260,000 from the Small Business Administration’s Shuttered Venue Operators Grant. to establish the supplemental grants in hopes of helping small businesses across the country. It focused on smaller organizations and non-profits working in live entertainment or other nonprofits and venues. The grant has brought more than $21.4 million to the Bronx, with the vast majority of it split between the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden. The Lehman College Center for the Performing Arts received $760,000. The children’s theatre didn’t get anywhere near that much money, but the $260,000 granted by the SBA was nothing to sneeze at. Bringing funds like this back to the Bronx was something U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat said he worked very hard to make happen, ultimately bringing $8 million into his own congressional district. Riverdale Children’s Theatre isn’t in Espaillat’s congressional district, but instead U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s.
Woods found out about the program on his own, but still expressed gratitude to lawmakers like Espaillat, Bowman and even U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for making the program possible. “It was a huge process,” Woods said. “It took weeks to get all the necessary paperwork together, and the submission process itself took four hours. We are not complaining — people often complain about the government — but this has been tremendous.” Riverdale Children’s Theatre had plans to extend its programs and productions to Woodlawn and Pelham Parkway, hoping to bring in up to an additional 250 kids, Woods said. But the pandemic put that plan on hold. At least for now. “The (shuttered venues) grant is a huge boost, and now gives us a lifeline to stay open,” Woods said. “We are basically starting over, and we still can only accommodate a limited number of kids. I hope we can get back to where
we were, but it’s going to take some time.” However, money wasn’t the only issue brought on by the pandemic. Finding space to rehearse and perform has been nearly impossible, with many hampered either by government regulation in terms of indoor venues, or just reticence from those who maintain such spaces. “In true community spirit, though, the Riverdale Steak House opened their party room for us,” Woods said. “The College of Mount Saint Vincent and Christ Church Riverdale actually stepped up early on and made their spaces available to us. So we were able to have very limited programming with masks (and) social distancing.” And then there were ways to reach kids through the same technology many of them were using for school through the darkest periods of the lockdown. “We did a ton of free online programs to keep the kids engaged
Riverdale Children’s Theatre $261,691 Choral Chameleon
Sloe Gin Productions $21,286 throughout the pandemic with outside dance challenges, masked singer nights, and watching old productions together,” Woods said. “It was very uplifting at a very difficult time.” Two shows are now in the works — a junior production of the Broadway hit “Mean Girls,” as well as a musical based on the Random House children’s book series Junie B. Jones. “We hope everyone comes out to see the shows at Mount Saint Vincent in December and January,” Woods said. “Any and all donations are sincerely appreciated.” The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant was made possible through the American Rescue Plan, which Congress passed earlier this year, ultimately providing $16 billion in such funding nationwide. Eligible groups could receive up to nearly half of its gross earned revenue up to $10 million, and more than $2 billion was set aside specifically for groups with fewer than 50 full-time employees.
HOUSING BLOCK Treasury gives more investment freedom Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can now finance more second home and investment property buyers now that the U.S. Treasury Department has temporarily lifted some Trumpera restrictions. The Biden administration
wants to review the limitations put in place by former U.S. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, but in the meantime is allowing the two governmentback lenders to expand its offerings. Some real estate observers believe this could promote better housing stability by pulling a number of properties off the market.

By JOSEPH DE LA CRUZ Real estate in some places like New York is starting to see inventory drop, with many properties seeing fewer days on the market. That means the current “buyer’s market” is swiftly heading into a “seller’s” one, where home prices — and property values — could rise significantly. Typically, mortgage lenders
are less likely to provide loans that couldn’t, at some point, be purchased by agencies like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Ballot measures could make voting a little better EASY VOTING from page A1 election — or on election day itself.” Former city Campaign Finance Board general counsel Sue Dodell says when drafting this legislation, it’s important lawmakers consider whether the new registration deadline will be for primaries as well as general elections. “In New York City, the critical thing is being registered before the primary because that’s where most of the action is,” she said. “So, we’ll have to see what the state legislature does, whether they differentiate between primary elections and general elections.” Oswego Assemblyman Will Barclay is opposed to amendment, telling Spectrum News a 10-day waiting period is “not onerous,” and that allowing same-day registration could open the system to “shenanigans.” “Fraud has been raised, obviously,” the Republican told NY1. “Without a timeline, it makes it a little easier for someone to register to vote and to change that vote. It’s always more difficult after the fact.” Some Republicans are also opposed to the fourth ballot proposal, which complements the third by allowing voters to cast absentee ballots without needing a specific excuse. At the moment, state law says voters can’t request an absentee ballot unless they have an illness, physical disability or will be out of the county on election day.
Deciding on the various amendments The November general election ballot has five proposals voters will be asked to share their choice on that, if passed, would amend New York’s state constitution. Here are how the varuous proposals will appear on the ballot: Proposal 1: Amending the Apportionment and Redistricting Process This proposed constitutional amendment would freeze the number of state senators at 63, amend the process for the counting o the state’s population, delete certain provisions that violate the U.S. Constitution, repeal and amend certain requirements for the appointment of the co-executive directors of the redistricting commission, and amend the manner of drawing district lines for congressional and state legislative offices. Proposal 2: Right to Clean Air, Clean Water and a Healthful environment The proposed amendment to Article 1 of the New York Constitution would establish the right of each person to clean air and water, and a healthful environment. Republican party chair Nick Langworthy told Spectrum he would only support such a measure if it implemented some way to force voter identification. “I don’t think we have to expand mail-in voting any more than we have,”
Proposal 3: Eliminating 10-day Advance Voter Registration Requirement The proposed amendment would delete the current requirement that a citizen be registered to vote at least 10 days before an election, and would allow the legislature to enact laws permitting a citizen to register to vote less than 10 days before the election. Proposal 4: Authorizing No-Excuse Absentee Ballot Voting The proposed amendment would delete from the current provision on absentee ballots the requirement that an absentee voter must be unable to appear at the polls by reason of absence from the county, or illness, or physical disability. Proposal 5: Increasing the Jurisdiction of the New York City Civil Court The proposed amendment would increase the New York City civil court’s jurisdiction by allowing it to hear and decide claims for up to $50,000 instead of the current jurisdictional limit of $25,000.
he said. “You can basically vote for a month in the state of New York.” When the coronavirus pandemic first arrived last year, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order allowing all state voters to request an absentee ballot to avoid contracting
the virus that causes COVID-19 at a polling site. And according to Lerner, this emergency action encouraged more people to vote absentee. “What we saw was an enormous increase in the number of people
who took advantage of absentee voting, which is absolutely what we want to see,” she said. “If people are at all concerned that they will not be able to make it, you know, you’re unclear whether you’re going to have a required business trip out of town, so you can’t swear under penalty of perjury 15 days earlier that you’re going to be away. But you would like to vote by mail because you’re just not sure. Then it shouldn’t be hard for you to get an absentee ballot.” Because of the large number of people working jobs that don’t allow them time to vote at a polling location, Dodell believes having no-excuse absentee could increase the overall number of people who ultimately vote. “We in New York City have a lot of workers who work hours that are different from the ones where the polls are open,” she said. “So, I think it does encourage voting, and anything that encourages more participation is, in my mind, something very good.” While Dodell and Lerner believe most people will vote for these ballot measures, the real challenge is letting the public know they’re on the ballot in the first place. “I think it’s hard,” Lerner said. “This is not necessarily a high-turnout general election. Certainly, we’re going to do everything we can to let people know (to) turn over the ballot and vote on the ballot measures.”
Spuyten Duyvil actress turns head with ‘Clickbait’ BECCA LISH from page A1 looking badly beaten in an online video where he holds up a card reading, “I abuse women. At 5 million views I die.” The rest of the show follows several different characters including not only Brewer’s sister and wife — played by Zoe Kazan and Betty Gabriel respectively — but also one of the key detectives on the case, Roshan Amiri, played by “Stateless” actor Phoenix Raei, all trying to save the husband and father while figuring out the mystery behind his disappearance, and learning some shocking secrets along the way. Although the character of Dawn Gleed is a few years older than the actress who portrays her and works a very different kind of job, Lish says she has a deep understanding of the character. “She is very much online,” Lish said. “She is very interested in other people and other lives than her own. And imagines — as it’s challenging for anyone not to — that other people’s lives are far more interesting. Other people are far more valued. And so, she’s living in a state of frustration and feelings of unfulfillment that I think are not uncommon to anyone.” After spending most of her formative years in San Francisco, Lish moved to the east coast midway through high school. She later graduated with a philosophy degree from Yale University. Lish spent the better part of a decade focused on theatre, primarily with the Trinity Repertory Company in Rhode Island. In fact, that’s where she met Andrew, a fellow actor with the troupe, who made a transition into medicine in the early 1990s after they moved to New York City and got married. Lish turned her attention to voice acting, first for television and radio commercials, and then for animated shows like the popular series “Doug” in both its Nickelodeon and ABC Saturday morning cartoon runs. In more recent years, Lish has found herself in more live-action roles. She’s popped up on a number of acclaimed television series like Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” NBC’s “The Blacklist,” and even the short-lived “Murphy Brown” revival. Lish got her “Clickbait” role simply by doing what she does every day: auditioning. “The vast majority of work that I do is auditioning,” Lish said. “So, most of my work is unseen and uncompensated. It’s like an iceberg, right? You only see the little bits that poke out above the surface.” Fortunately for Lish, “Clickbait” ended up being one of those bits that stuck out. The series originally started filming in Melbourne, Australia, in late 2019. Lish was only expecting to make the long journey to the other side of the world three times as production continued. But then there was the coronavirus pandemic. “When you arrive on location, you have things to do like costume fittings and meetings with the stunt coordinator and the intimacy coordinator, that kind of thing,” Lish said. “The first day that we were going to shoot was March 16. And the producers let us know that NBC Universal had

Spuyten Duyvil-based actor Becca Lish plays a supporting character in Netflix’s hit thriller miniseries ‘Clickbait.’ Lish plays Dawn Gleed, an administrative manager that many other characters turn to for help.
‘She is very much online. She is very interested in other people and other lives than her own. And imagines — as it’s challenging for anyone not to — that other people’s lives are far more interesting. Other people are far more valued. And so, she’s living in a state of frustration and feelings of unfullfillment that I think are not uncommon to anyone.’ BECCA LISH
on her ‘Clickbait’ character, Dawn Gleed decided to close production down to pause it for two weeks.” Lish debated whether to stay in Melbourne to wait, but ultimately flew back home. That ended up being the right decision, she said, because “Clickbait” would not go back in front of the cameras for another eight months. When Lish finally returned late last year, she
was immediately confronted by the strict safety measures Australia had implemented to control the pandemic. She quarantined for two weeks in Sydney before being allowed to travel onto Melbourne. “They are quite serious about their quarantines in Australia,” Lish said. “You’re in a hotel room by yourself with a closed door, and there’s a
guard outside the door. You cannot step outside.” The pandemic even changed the experience of being on set. In past productions, being a part of a cast was usually a very familial experience, Lish said. She would get to know her co-stars on an intimate level because they spent so much time together — like at mealtimes, or in hair and makeup sessions. But safety protocols made it much harder to bond as the cast spent much of their remaining time in isolation. “It was a weird feeling of being engaged in intimate contact with people that you didn’t really get to know at all,” Lish said. “They were perfectly lovely people. But we didn’t do anything together other than what we did on camera. There was no larger experience.” But even without that familial bond, Lish said, “Clickbait” was one of her most impactful experiences on camera. “I feel pretty proud of the work that I did on this,” Lish said. “And it was a pleasure to see how it all fit together. If this is the last job I ever have, I’m happy. But I certainly would like to keep working until I fall over while doing it.”
Keep parks calm and keep neighborhoods happy SLEEPLESS NIGHTS from page A1 the bottom of it.”
Spreading into other areas
Noise complaints have been a citywide issue since the pandemic began, but seem to be more prevalent in the summer when more people are out and about enjoying the weather. Noise complaints across the city jumped 40 percent last year, officials said. And while it doesn’t hold the most complaints of the five boroughs, in the Bronx, noise grievances more than doubled. The city’s nightlife advisory board suggested thelegalization of drinking and dancing in some public parks back in July. It’s an idea that lacks popularity with many — especially those who live near public parks. And it’s not just the smaller ones, like Seton. The borough’s largest green space — Van Cortlandt Park — has experienced a significant uptick in noise pollution, neighbors say. The loud
music and other commotion continue all hours of the night — especially on the weekends. And it has kept many awake. “Oh, it’s gotten so bad with the late-night partying and fighting,” said one neighbor, Sharon Berkins. “The worst part is police have been called, the city has been notified. And it still continues.” While she doesn’t mind partying at the park on the weekend, Berkins simply wants there to be some consideration for her and her neighbors who are just looking for a little bit of quiet time, or at least not having to compete over loud outside noise. “The yelling is what really keeps people up I think,” she said. “There’s even been instances where you can hear glass breaking. It’s ridiculous.”
Little hope for peace
State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli took a deep dive into New York City noise in 2018, revealing 1.6 million
noise complaints were made between 2010 and 2015 — but just a little under 5,500 — or 1-in-290 — resulted in summonses. Fewer than 800 ended in an arrest. Police, however, have said that managing noise is not an easy task — especially when resources are typically needed elsewhere. Its neighborhood coordination program — putting beat officers back on the street — is designed to help mitigate some of those issues, but it’s unclear how success it has been. Some of those resources at the 50th Precinct have focused on illegal drag racing, which not only creates hazards on the street, but also generates a significant amount of noise. Independence Avenue received a lot of attention for this very thing last year, but Berkin warns it’s not the only place. “Yeah, Broadway has become a bit of a raceway these days,” she said. “That’s another issue because that

Thank you for supporting great community journalism! doesn’t occur just on weekends. It can occur randomly throughout the week at night, which is worse than the weekend gatherings they have here.”
Berkins also is concerned about the damage or harm the illegal racing can create. “I mean, it’s not just the screeching, it’s also the anxiety of waiting to hear if they are going to hit something or someone that keeps you up,” she said. The complaints have largely boiled over on local social media groups where many have expressed grief about noise and garbage. Those fed up with the ear-splitting raucous say they have tried calling 311 and the 50th, even calling Dinowitz’s office directly or tagging the councilman on posts. Still, they see no end in sight to the late-night fiasco. “Someone has to do something about this because it’s just getting to be too much for the neighborhood,” Berkins said. “We all work here. We all pay taxes here. And it’d be a shame if a lot of (residents) moved out of here because no one can get a handle on this situation.”

Bronx book mobile bound for a market near you n Latanya DeVaughn aims to bring literacy, diverse writers to nabe By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
If there’s one thing the Bronx — or most places — is lacking, it’s bookstores. In fact, The Lit Bar in Mott Haven is the borough’s only independent brick-and-mortar bookseller, and it’s a long trip for many. Even with a car. Kirstie Reynoso-Miranda is trying to fix this problem by opening her own bookstore — Miranda Writes — somewhere in Kingsbridge or Riverdale. In the meantime, she’s selling books online while the neighborhood waits until at least early next year for a physical location to open. Fortunately, bookworms eager to crack open a new paperback are in luck. That’s because Bronx Bound Books brings its wares to The Riverdale Y Sunday Market almost every week. Offering an array of diverse authors from a refurbished bus, Bronx Bound Books has set up shop not only at the Sunday Market, but also other farmers markets across the borough, like one outside Clinton High School, and on City Island. Why a bookstore on wheels? Latanya DeVaughn says it was the easiest way to make her dream of owning such an establishment a reality. “I always wanted to own a bookstore,” she said. “But the Bronx kept changing and life kept happening. Be-
BRIAN ASARI
Bronx Bound Books founder Latanya DeVaughn says she likes to showcase authors of color on the shelves of her mobile bookstore. For her, it’s important to showcase authors who truly reflect the racial and cultural makeup of the Bronx. fore I knew it, the rents were way too high, and gentrification started to take a toll on the Bronx. So, owning a storefront was totally out of reach. I knew I would never be able to afford one.” DeVaughn started Bronx Bound Books as a project she juggled on weekends in addition to her day job — working human resources for Eli Zabar, an Upper East Side restaurant and food market. But when the coronavirus hit the city last year, DeVaughn was one of many laid off. Suddenly, she had a lot more time to devote to her dream. “COVID made my Plan B kind of my Plan A,” DeVaughn said. “I decided to invest all my time and energy into growing Bronx Bound Books.” Growing up in the borough, DeVaughn says she inherited her love
for all things literary from the grandmother who adopter her, a teacher. “I knew that literacy was important, even as a young child,” DeVaughn said. “I would see her reading leases and prescriptions to our neighbors who couldn’t read.” DeVaughn’s passion for reading grew stronger after her aunt started taking her on regular trips to Strand Book Store near Manhattan’s Union Square. Especially enticing was Strand’s large inventory of used books. “I would find my escape in the Strand Book Store,” DeVaughn said. “So, we were able to get me a whole bunch of books. And my love for new and used books started from when I was a kid. We would go to garage sales — and everyone would be looking at china and furniture — and I was by the
books and would buy all the books I could carry.” The most important thing to DeVaughn was making a bookstore that catered specifically to Bronx communities. As she developed her concept, DeVaughn attended business improvement district events around the borough, asking people what they wanted out of a bookstore. She would give away used books at those events — getting her supply from The Book Fairies on Long Island. Then, at the beginning of 2020, DeVaughn started selling books at farmers markets. In the beginning, DeVaughn relied on rides from friends and Ubers to transport her inventory around the borough. “It was very limited, because I could only carry so much in an Uber or load in a friend’s car,” she said. “And then having to onload the books and hoping it didn’t rain.” With her savings and book sales, DeVaughn purchased a used shuttle bus she found on Craigslist about a year ago. Around the same time, she received a grant from the Ford Foundation’s Local Initiatives Support Corp., which has now provided $215 million in such offerings to 12,000 small businesses throughout the pandemic. DeVaughn used that money to hire Ortega Upholstery Designs to refurbish the inside of her bus and make it feel more like a bookstore. She’s still raising money to paint and fix the bus’s exterior, but inside, DeVaughn carries all kinds of books. Yet she still finds room on her limited shelf space to display works by authors
of color. “That’s what you see, because that’s who I am,” DeVaughn said. “I’m Afro-Latina. I’m half Black and Puerto Rican. The books that you see when you walk in look like the people in the Bronx. So, there will be other books on the shelves and things like that. But for display purposes, I really want to showcase what the Bronx really looks like.” And that focus on representation has resonated with her customers. An older woman, “someone who’s about 73, was very emotional because she didn’t have this representation when she was growing up,” DeVaughn said. Shira Silverman, who runs the Sunday Market, says she’s really impressed by DeVaughn’s mission and inventory. For instance, DeVaughn carries copies of “The Hill We Climb,” the poem National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman read at President Joe Biden’s inauguration last January. “She has this gorgeous selection of books,” Silverman said. “They are terrific books. I mean, they’re really good. They’re carefully selected. They’re books that you actually want to read.” For the time being, DeVaughn has no plans of scaling up to a physical storefront — mostly because it’s still an expensive proposition. But also, she feels it’s important to meet people where they are and be out in the community. “If it takes you more than a halfhour to get to your nearest bookstore, I want to meet you halfway and be there for you,” DeVaughn said. “So, you don’t have to travel so far just to buy a book.”
OBITUARIES
Mireille Buckner, a firsthand witness to WWII history, 95 Mireille Jaume Buckner, a long-time resident of Riverdale, died Aug. 29, 2021, at home. Born Oct. 8, 1925, in London, she was the daughter of French parents — Marie Serre and Leon Jaume. Known as “Mimi” during her childhood, she was raised in a French-speaking home with her siblings Annette, Leon and Henri, while attending school in London. After Britain entered World War II, she and her siblings were evacuated to rural counties. She also experienced the London blitz firsthand, and recalled the close encounters of air raids. At 18, she began working for the intelligence unit of the Fighting French office in London. In 1944, during the Paris liberation, she crossed the English Channel in a boat that was torpedoed by German submarines, to safely land in France. She continued her job in Paris for the war’s duration. During the decade after the war, she worked
as an administrator for the U.S. Army, earning the nickname “Pete.” Her position moved her to Frankfurt, where she acted and worked backstage in local theatre. She was later transferred to Heidelberg, where she met her future husband, Thomas A. Buckner III. Tom was a third-generation Riverdalian, and he brought his wife back to his original neighborhood in 1955. She worked as an administrator in Manhattan, including 11 years at the Ecole Française — later renamed the Fleming School. She was an active volunteer for the Riverdale School of Music and Catholic Charities. She was a regular participant of the Riverdale Contemporary Theatre, where she served as stage manager and in other backstage capacities. In 1976, she continued using her fluent French, becoming the operations manager for the Paris-based Kléber Tire Corp. She was sta-

Bob Abrams believes politics can be force for good n In memoir, former borough prez details how he changed AG’s office By ETHAN STARK-MILLER estarkmiller@riverdalepress.com
If Robert Abrams could impart one message to anyone, it would be that “ordinary people can prevail and succeed — even against powerful odds.” “There’s a lot going on in our society that causes people to feel depressed, or to feel that they can’t beat the system,” Abrams said. “They can’t win. That corporate forces — governmental, bureaucratic forces — are too big to buck. You can win. If the public, if the people, if communities are allied with someone like an attorney general, they can produce very important, very significant victories.” Abrams should know. He was a state attorney general himself. And an Assemblyman. And a Bronx borough president. But now he can add another title to that list: author. His memoir, “The Luckiest Guy in the World: My Journey in Politics,” was released last March, and details Abrams’ 14 years as New York’s top prosecutor and the impact he had on the offices of state attorney general across the country. Abrams also recounts his upbringing in the Bronx, early career in politics, and time as a private sector attorney. At first, “The Luckiest Guy” wasn’t even a book, Abrams said, but rather a series of transcribed recordings he made about his life with an oral historian to leave for his nine grandchildren. “And after a while, those transcripts began to pile up and began to look like the possibility of a book,” Abrams, the 83-year-old Riverdale fixture, said. “That was the genesis of the book. It didn’t start out as writing a real book or a real memoir. It was really an attempt to put something down on paper for my grandkids. And it wound up being this book.” The memoir opens with Abrams’ upbringing in his Pelham Bay Parkway neighborhood. He talks about how his early years were shaped by the time he spent working behind the counter in his parents’ luncheonette, and his experiences attending local schools, like Allerton’s Christopher Columbus High School. But, Abrams said, it was a government course during his undergraduate studies at Columbia College that got him interested in politics. Abrams’ professor gave his class an assignment to write a paper about each of their

Former New York state attorney general Robert Abrams surrounds himself with many pictures of his life and career in his study. His memoir, ‘The Luckiest Guy in the World,’ shares Abrams’ long career in politics, focusing on his time in one of the state’s highest offices. Abrams says he changed the nature of the attorney general’s office from simply defending the state government to instead advocating for people’s rights. congressional districts, including an interview with their congressional representatives. For Abrams, that was U.S. Rep. Charles Buckley, who also led the Bronx Democratic Party. What Abrams found disturbed him. Buckley had no district office, and no one from his Washington office would return his calls. Abrams couldn’t complete the assignment because he was never able to get through to his congressman. A few years later, while he was in law school at New York University, Abrams got a call from one of the Bronx’s reform Democratic clubs, recruiting people to take on the party machine. At first, Abrams wasn’t interested. That is until the person on the other end of the line said they were taking on none other than Charles Buckley. “I said, ‘What did you say?’” Abrams recalled. “He said, ‘Well, we’re challenging Charlie Buckley.’ And I said, ‘Oh, that son of a (expletive). You got me. I don’t care what’s on my plate.’ And that’s how I got into politics.” Abrams won his local Assembly seat in 1966, upsetting 17-year machine-backed incumbent John Satriale. After spending three years in Albany,

President Bill Clinton joined Robert Abrams on the campaign trail for the U.S. Senate seat he ultimately lost in 1992. In his memoir ‘The Luckiest Guy in the World,’ Abrams details this race, but also how he changed the state attorney general’s office, and other New York impacts. Abrams came back home and won a race for Bronx borough president — an office he served in for most of the 1970s. “That was a huge step up,” he said. “The Bronx had 12 different Assembly districts. Although I became very popular in my own Assembly district, I now had to go and travel throughout the Bronx from Riverdale to the South
Bronx. From Co-op City to Tremont.” During his years in borough hall, Abrams lived in three different Riverdale homes — on Rivercrest Road, Sycamore Avenue and West 246th Street. His administration also was integral in finally getting Seton Park built after years of languish. “For years and years, itT:5.375" was just a promise,” Abrams said. “And like a lot
of other capital projects in different parts of the Bronx, I was determined to convert that promise into reality.” Then Abrams moved on to the biggest office of his career by becoming the first Democrat elected as state attorney general in 40 years when he took office in 1978. And Abrams had a clear mission. “Attorney general historically was a backwater office,” Abrams said. “It was a 200-year-old office that people didn’t know very much about, that had an exclusive role of defending the state. But now there was a redefinition of the office, and expanding and broadening of the powers and authority of the office. To have the office not only be defensive, but to be offensive. To go and bring lawsuits to protect people in the public interest.” To accomplish this mission, Abrams said, the first step was to build a nonpartisan and professional office. So, he focused on hiring a highly qualified staff based on their merits as attorneys and commitment to his mission rather than their political affiliations. During his time in office, Abrams said he lived up to his mission by bringing many lawsuits against big corporations protecting the rights of New York residents. Those included varied topics like consumer protection, milkprice fixing, and even antitrust cases. There also were large environmental lawsuits, like the Love Canal case, where his office compelled Occidental Chemical Corp., to spend millions of dollars to clean up the toxic waste site in a Niagara Falls neighborhood. With Ronald Reagan came a large rollback in protecting people’s rights on the federal level, Abrams said. So, he formed coalitions with other state attorneys general around the country to protect civil rights and reproductive freedom, among other things. Three decades later, in a time when American politics is more divided than ever, Abrams says he wants readers to take his life’s story as inspiration that politics can still be used as a force for good. “People see politics today in a negative light,” Abrams said. “And I try to show through the course of my life and career that it could be as noble a venture as any that can be pursued. I view government and politics as a calling. A doctor, a clergyman, a teacher — they’re viewed as people with a calling. So those involved in politics can be viewed as individuals with a calling as well. “And if you work at it very hard and do it with integrity and honesty, there could be nothing more exciting or meaningful or fulfilling.”

Vaccine? Just go for it
“A
re you ready?” pharmacist Mitchel Zaretsky asked. “Go for it,” said Kelley Dixon, right before he became the first Hebrew Home at Riverdale resident to get the coronavirus vaccine. That was more than nine months ago with the hopes that by the end of 2021, COVID-19 would be nothing more than a painful part of our history. Instead, hospitals in many parts of the country are turning people away. Not because doctors and nurses don’t want to help them, but simply because they can’t. ICUs are completely filled with COVID-19 patients in what’s been dubbed the “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” While New York is among the top tier when it comes to vaccination rates, we still have a ways to go. COVID-19 still very much exists here, and as long as it does, everyone is at risk — even those who have had the shot. When we look closely at vaccination numbers, what we find is rather surprising. A study last August conducted by researchers from Northeastern, Har-
vard, Northwestern and Rutgers universities revealed that more than a quarter of health care workers have yet to be vaccinated. Closer to home, unions have claimed a vast majority of teachers are vaccinated, but news outlets like The City warned as many as 10,000 teachers across the five boroughs could disappear from classrooms before a judge put a temporary hold on a vaccine mandate issued by Mayor Bill de Blasio. These are all very educated people, many who have witnessed the devastating effects of COVID-19 firsthand. These are also the very people we look to as leaders, as role models, as the kinds of heroes we should emulate. We shouldn’t even need a mandate. Health care workers and teachers should have been standing in line even before there was one. The vaccine is safe. It’s effective. And it’s our one true path out of this pandemic anytime soon. Kelley Dixon rolled up his sleeve when there was still room to question it. But 390 million doses later, no questions remain. No more waiting. Just go for it.
POINT OF VIEW
Dinowitz does represent my values, our values
By BONNIE GELLER-GELD (re: “Dinowitz doesn’t represent this community’s values,” Sept. 23)
I
was taken aback by both the headline The Riverdale Press used on Adam Stoler’s recent Point of View, as well as the errors and malfeasance in Mr. Stoler’s words against Councilman Eric Dinowitz. While I am not going point-by-point, I will highlight errors in this piece. He speaks about the departure of a supermarket and bank from Knolls Crescent. Councilman Dinowitz was very much involved in protesting and trying to prevent Chase Bank from leaving, and he is a sponsor of a bill to put in strong protections for storefront businesses for lease renewal. The supermarket Mr. Stoler speaks about left more than 15 years ago — way before Eric was our councilman. And right now, in the Knolls Crescent neighborhood where I live, we have two markets which generally serve the needs of the community. Would Mr. Stoler want a supermarket to drive out Ben’s, a successful and well-liked family-run market? And Mr. Stoler wants the Key Food parking lot to be redeveloped. This free parking lot is almost always nearly full, and is a crucial help for Riverdale shoppers in a neighborhood that has very limited street parking. I do agree that Friedland Properties has been abusing its commercial tenants, and that there needs to be something done about both Friedland and other property owners throughout New York City that abuse all of us. We need commercial rent control and penalties for commercial property owners who keep their buildings empty by charging exorbitant rents and use these properties as tax deductions. Councilman Dinowitz supports a vacancy tax, but this legislation needs to be enacted on the state level. Mr. Stoler called Councilman Eric Dinowitz a “failed teacher.” How is this so for someone who was a superb teacher and union leader who ended every year with good ratings? Councilman Dinowitz taught special needs students. It takes a very patient and caring person — qualities Eric has — to go into this area of education. His desire to help people brought him from the classroom to our district so he could be an effective leader as a councilman to get good things done for a larger group of people. Need I mention our local congressman also left educa-
tion to serve in an elected capacity? In the five months that Councilman Dinowitz has been in office, both he and his staff members have been working diligently for our community. Eric helped save Meg’s Garden, an outdoor learning area for Norwood students. He has sponsored bills in the council to protect our environment. He has directed millions of dollars in additional funding to many non-profits, including toward upgrades for North Central Bronx Hospital, and here in Spuyten Duyvil toward a full rehab of the staircase at Ewen Park, which is used daily by many students. And even before he was elected, Eric was supporting the union workers at Key Food. Here in The Press, it was reported that Eric Dinowitz “was one of many who stood with the union workers in front of Key Food.” While everything Councilman Dinowitz has worked on is important, for me personally, what he has been doing during this unprecedented and continuing pandemic to expand vaccinations and help with food insecurity rates at the top. And this he has done. He has brought pop-up vaccination sites to the district, and has ensured that local schools serve as vaccination sites. He has hosted food giveaways and allocated more than $100,000 to food panties. In addition, what we don’t see — but which happens daily — is the help to people in our district by the councilman’s staff to many individuals, including protecting tenant rights and ensuring parents of special needs students get the financial help they are entitled to. And, of course, sadly after Ruth Mullen’s tragic death, working with the city’s transportation department to bring safety upgrades to the dangerous intersection of at Kappock Street and Johnson Avenue. Mr. Stoler would have us organize against Councilman Dinowitz for the November election. No! I say, first, please vote in the November election. And yes, vote for Councilman Dinowitz to show him we support all the work he has been doing for us. And, in addition, please help our district by volunteering to help whichever way you can. Perhaps the councilman’s office can put in place a volunteer coordinator whom we can contact for volunteer opportunities. It’s up to all of us — with Councilman Dinowitz’s support — to make this city council district here in the Bronx a safe, healthy and comfortable place to live.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dinowitz letter was hypocritical To the editor:
(re: “Dinowitz doesn’t represent this community’s values,” Sept. 21)
“There are some serious letter writers. There are critiques. There are ad hominem attackers. And there are cranks who all write letters to this esteemed newspaper. “The cranks are well-known. They repeatedly show up trotting out the same arguments, no matter the topic: ‘I’m right, you’re a (fill in the blank).’ Critiquers offer positive alternatives to problems presented. And serious letter writers all keep a civil tone, free of vitriol. “The ad hominem attackers, though, are disturbing.” Those words were written by Adam Stoler and published in The Riverdale Press in 2019. I agree with them. But do you know who doesn’t? Adam Stoler. Stoler’s ad hominem attack against Councilman Eric Dinowitz was truly disgusting. It was personal, and it just was not true. For example, Stoler starts his letter by calling Eric a “failed teacher,” without saying anything to back up that false statement. Eric, in fact, was a highly regarded special education teacher for more than 13 years. He was so dedicated to his students that he even taught himself Spanish so he could communicate with his students’ parents. Stoler raises several issues, claiming Eric
has done nothing about them in his four short months as a city councilman. Among those issues were the bank that left Knolls Crescent, and defending union jobs at the Key Food at Skyview. Perhaps his memory is cloudy, because Eric was vocal on these issues — as reported by The Press and other publications. The issues he raises, while important, didn’t just arise during these four months. The ridiculous attack he makes on the Benjamin Franklin Reform Democratic Club uses the same tired, old platitudes used to demean opponents such as “machine,” “dynasty” and “old boys’ network” that are often used in partisan attacks, but say very little. The fact is that these issues were litigated in not one, but two, elections earlier this year. The voters elected Eric Dinowitz by landslides both times. The voters spoke loudly and clearly, and resoundingly rejected the below-the-belt attacks on Eric and his family twice. The voters aren’t as stupid as Stoler seems to think they are. Have some respect for the democratic process! The personal attacks by Stoler against Eric Dinowitz are bad enough. But given Stoler’s own words that I have quoted to open this letter, the words that come to mind are “petty,” “angry,” “disingenuous” — and most of all, “hypocritical.” freDDa Tourin
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Give us chance on composting EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is an open letter submitted to Edward Grayson, commissioner of the city’s sanitation department. Dear Commissioner Grayson: On Sept. 22, many of us received an email from the city’s sanitation department telling us that our community in the Northwest Bronx will not receive curbside composting services because “there weren’t enough sign-ups” in our neighborhood. When we learned months ago that city residents had to sign up to have curbside composting reinstated, many of us in the Fort Independence Neighborhood Association encouraged our neighbors to sign up through our listserv, and through face-to-face conversations. We are disappointed that our community has been waitlisted. More concerning, we recognize that — even if we made the cut — the process for deciding who will receive this service is ill-advised, unfair, unjust and ultimately betrays important values for which New York City claims to stand. Setting up a competitive system that forces people to opt-in rather than opt-out is sure to heighten inequity and disparate treatment in New York City. While we do not know which communities have been chosen to have curbside composting reinstated, they are likely some of the wealthier, whiter and more privileged communities in the city. People who already are comfortable and fortunate are more likely to have been educated about the long-term value of composting, be personally familiar with it, and have
the time and energy to spend organizing to get neighbors to opt-in. Further, the sanitation department system for opting-in is based on interacting with a webbased form. More privileged communities also have more access to and comfort with the required technology. While it may be necessary to roll out curbside composting gradually, this system for deciding where to start is just wrong, and betrays the vision for a just and more equitable city. New York City and the sanitation department should have selected a group of diverse communities throughout the city and educated each of these communities, recognizing that each one may need unique methods of outreach and obtaining information. This process would have been fairer and would have been a great learning process for the sanitation department to develop a successful citywide rollout that recognized the unique needs of specific neighborhoods, ultimately resulting in more representative engagement in composting. Instead, we have a process that will privilege the already privileged, and leave more vulnerable communities to wait. Jane BeDell This letter was written on behalf of a number of residents that include Tanya Greene, Margaret Groarke, Jack Marth, Maria Farland, Laurie Srebnick, Miriam Ford, Nancy Schwartz, Kateh Esmaeli, Kendra Sibley, Sasha Wilson, Karl Appuhn, Jordan Moss, Kristin Hart and Elizabeth Wilson.
Getting all of it out in the open To the editor: This coming week — beginning Oct. 3 — has been designated Mental Health Awareness Week, a time set aside for further reflection on mental illness and the stigma that still persists against addressing it openly. Clearly, much progress has been made in recent years. Seemingly every week, there is another story about an athlete or public figure addressing their ailment. Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles have each courageously stood before the eyes of the whole world and admitted their frailty. How much their honesty has done to pave the way for others is hard to gauge, but I imagine it has been significant. In this light, one might be tempted to say, “Enough already,” and to let it all rest. I do not agree, however, that such complacency is warranted. There remains much to be done. There are still far too many who could well profit from timely expert medical assistance, and who are too afraid to reach out. By the same token, there are those who have begun the process of recovery who feel embarrassment or even shame for their actions. I think this current state of affairs might be further clarified. While certain forms of mental illness are becoming accepted, others remain beyond the pale. According to Fortune Business Insights, the amount spent on anti-psychotic medication in the United States in 2020 was in excess of $11.6 billion — a number that is hard to fathom. As a point of reference, it was comparable to the revenue of the National Football League for that same year.
Who are all of these people? Where are they hiding? I like to think that I keep informed, but I hear precious little about them. They aren’t talking, that much is clear. At the end of last year, I published a novel — “Continued Breathing” — that includes what I would like to think is a realistic rendition of a psychotic episode, enacted right down by our own Riverdale Metro-North train station, complete with an intervention by the able and compassionate policemen of the 50th Precinct, and an ambulance ride to the local outpost of the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. This is a novel, a work of fiction. Still, I would very much like to think it might do something to get the wheels of discussion going — not only in regards to anxiety or depression, but to broaden the conversation to include the many who regularly experience psychotic symptoms. There is hope here. That much I can assure you. I believe that the underlying motivation behind Mental Health Awareness Week is a call for open expression about a subject too long kept hidden under the rug, or in attic closets. In the light of the open air, with a clean cool breeze blowing, lies better health for all. I realize that, of late, the case has been made that over-diagnosis of these drugs among senior citizens in nursing homes may account for the rise in the numbers. This may indeed be one component of this complex situation. In any case, getting these matters out in the open can only be good. Josh GreenfielD
Stop buying single-use plastics To the editor: I write this letter to urge the community of Riverdale to consider using less single-use plastics. The plastics crisis is continuously getting worse. And while the responsibility is not entirely on the consumer to fix
the problems created by larger corporations, there are still actions we can take to help. One of these actions is to reduce the number of single-use plastics products we purchase. These products can be hard to avoid, but it’s important that, as consumers, we do our best to

Carrying through pregnancy is a woman’s decision — only
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Admire me for being healthy To the editor:
(re: “Dismissing fantasyland nonsense,” Sept. 23)
While I admire people who have the courage to express strong conviction, the pedantic approach used by Richard Warren in his recent letter to the editor does not leave room for much discussion, and leads me to feel he is a follower of conventional wisdom. I will address one subject in which he used his pedantic and iconoclastic approach: his comments on vaccinations. To be a little more objective and less emotional about the subject, I will first address the regular flu vaccinations that have been around for many years. One day a woman chastised me for not taking flu shots, and thus endangering others. As I looked at her overweight and probably under-nourished body, I said to myself, “Why should I be chastised for having a healthy body by someone who does not?” In discussing healthy bodies with the doctor’s assistants at some drug stores, they told me that people come in that have high blood pressure, and when the assistant tries to discuss diet and exercise, the patient says, “Just give me a pill.” They, like the woman who chastised me, are not interested in maintaining personal health, and want a medical “fix” to be well. Now we come to Mr. Warren’s fixation with the COVID-19 shots. The practice of vaccinations began with Louis Pasteur’s theories of germs and viruses. But there was another famous scientist at the time who opposed Pasteur by the name of Antoine Béchamp who felt that the body was equipped to deal with the invasion of viruses.
I won’t go into the details here, but there are many in the medical profession who do not adhere to Pasteur’s theories. Getting down to the present view on vaccinations, the United States has the highest COVID-19 infection rate in the world. India has onequarter of our infection rate. We have the highest hospitalization rate when compared to European nations. Perhaps the pizza and Coke diet of our overweight and undernourished nation isn’t working well, and people need vaccinations because they have weak immune systems. As I write this letter, I am a few months away from my 92nd birthday. I have never had a flu shot, or the flu. Or a COVID-19 vaccination. It is sad that I live in a society in which I am looked down upon instead of admired for being healthy. A society in which I am asked to be apologetic for not taking medication. A society in which I am locked out of restaurants and movie theaters. We are gradually becoming a nation of jackasses on the treadmill of production while the government makes decisions affecting our health and well-being. Think about that, Mr. Warren. GeorGe SiloS EDITOR’S NOTE: According to Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering, the highest coronavirus infection rates in the world is actually in Seychelles, where 21,799 cases have been reported per 100,000 people, as of Sept. 25. The United States is ranked 17th with a little more than 13,000 cases per 100,000 people. India actually has a fifth of the American infection rate.
Hey, DOT: Time to fix our streets To the editor: I would like to ask for your help in publicizing a wrong inflicted on our neighborhood — and specifically at 2727 Palisade Ave. — by the city’s transportation department. This 1950s building has never experienced flooding, including Hurricane Sandy, until recently when two major floods engulfed the building, causing property damage and endanger-
ing the lives of residents as well as the lives of a brave team of employees who bore the brunt of the water clear-up. All of this is a direct result of DOT sidewalk work, which replaced natural catch basins with massive concrete slabs. As a matter of consequence, all of Kappock Street’s water — diverted from the catch basins — came gushing down to the Highpoint building.
This is criminal. Water will eventually compromise the architectural integrity of the building by rotting the foundation, and the rest is quite obvious. Remember the Surfside condominiums in Florida? We in the building — and all around our neighborhood — demand the restoration of the sidewalks to their original state, to avert future tragedy. ATArA FobAr

I
am a mother. I have two daughters. I had three pregnancies. I was in an abusive relationship with a partner who despised me. He cheated on me repeatedly with friends, and was verbally and physically abusive. Our relationship was in its final, terrible stages when I became aware I was pregnant. I was horrified. My parents had made it very clear they disliked my partner. They also had made it clear I would not be welcome in their home as an unmarried mother. My teenage years were filled with threats of, “Don’t you dare come home pregnant. We will not support you.” I had no financial ability to support this child. As a live-in nanny, I would be unemployable. Returning to England would mean returning home, and searching for housing, a job, and dealing with my mother’s bitter criticism. My relationship had destroyed what little self-esteem I had — the thought of her condemnation filled me with nothing but dread. And so, I sought the only solution that made any sense: I had an abortion. Ironically, my mother was aware of my pregnancy and supported my decision. Any other choice would have been completely untenable in her eyes. Looking back, I realize she knew unwed motherhood would be hard, and she wanted a better life for me. All I heard was the negative, not the love behind her harsh words. I watch as women’s rights are being slowly chipped away. This country has a terrible longing for the mores of the 1950s. A return to the so-called family values of shame, zero choice, female subjugation, and all the fallout of such patriarchal tyranny. These mores include one rule for the wealthy, and a whole other set of rules for the poor. Racism and all its terrible judgments sadly tend to go hand-in-hand with such tyranny. The rich will always have access to abortion, and the power to bend the rules to their will. This, after all, is America. Land of the dollar. The poor will, of course, take the brunt of the Draconian new abortion restrictions. The wealthy will travel with ease to states with looser restrictions. They will have access to discreet women’s services that will continue to flourish for those with the deepest of pockets. Women of color will suffer the most. There is no figure more openly scorned than a brown, unwed mother. Abortion is a horrible choice that no woman ever wants to make. Every woman’s abortion story is an intensely personal one. No two stories are ever the same. Mine was probably very familiar to the abortion providers: An unsupported young woman who felt she had no other choice. I was 23 when I made my decision. I saw a problem, never a child. Because facing the reality that this was a child I was not allowing to live, was too much to bear. On what should have been my first child’s due date, I sat in an empty church in Manhattan and howled for forgiveness. Knowing deep in my heart that this was a child — a real growing baby — did
not change my mind for one second. I could not have this baby. I cannot imagine the horror a younger woman — or child — must go through upon coming to the realization that this is not something that will go away on its own. Especially when the father is someone this child, or young woman, has trusted implicitly their entire life. Such as a popular trusted uncle. Or, God forbid, even their own father. Abortion rights are an essential part of womanhood. I will never judge any woman or child for making what is one of the most difficult decisions she will ever have to make in her lifetime. The religious mania fueling the new restrictions continues to astonish. I spent every Sunday in the basement of a church, attending Sunday school, learning the teachings of Christ. We moved to a new parish when I was 8, and my mother never found another church that she felt comfortable in. The basis of those lessons has remained with me my entire life. The extremism on display in the United States makes a mockery of those teachings. The Jesus of my childhood was a forgiving soul, who never judged no matter my circumstances. He was warm, filled with love for all, and willing to accept everyone regardless of behavior, race or sex. I do not recognize this judgmental, spiteful, hate-filled Jesus who is worshipped by the religious right. Extremism is fueling this war on women. Women are not the property of men. We are not brood sows. While a lot of us have the biology that enables us to produce offspring, many, many women would prefer to never exercise that option. Others would prefer to delay motherhood, for myriad reasons. We are responsible for our own choices. No one has the right to remove that choice, especially a man who will never be pregnant. No woman ever became pregnant alone. But countless women deal with an unwanted pregnancy alone. I did. This will not change if abortion becomes illegal. These same women will be completely unsupported as single mothers. We all know the conservative agenda when it comes to a safety net for such families: Unborn babies become hungry children. The same conservatives screaming to protect all unborn children will be the first to judge a struggling unwed mother asking for assistance, whether it be through food stamps, housing, or an adequate education. Mothers are the first to be judged harshly if a child appears to be in need. There is rarely a mention of the deadbeat father who walked away the moment he heard he was about to have a lifetime’s responsibility for a child he never planned on. Women are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t. I know from experience all that holier-thanthou judgment is purely background noise to any woman post-abortion. A woman who has had an abortion has to seek the hardest forgiveness there is to grant: Her own.
Planning in advance is more important than ever. These are difficult times and more families are realizing the many advantages of making their cemetery plans in advance. Having to make those arrangements at the time of a loved one’s death is heartbreaking enough.
