Business and Labor group targets Stanton over strip club campaign contributions By RIVERDALE REVIEW STAFF The campaign of City Council candidate Clifford Stanton is reeling from a series of mailings made by an independent business and labor group unaffiliated with local politicians. The first of these mailings hit mailboxes last week, another is said to be on its way. Both attack Stanton – in separate English and Spanish versions – for his ties with kingpins of the strip club industry, who have made contributions that have resulted in thousands of dollars finding their way into Stanton’s campaign coffers. The mailings came from the lobbying organization, Jobs for New York, supported by a coalition of labor unions and real estate interests. The tough tone of the mailings has upset candidate Andrew Cohen, who vowed to run a positive campaign. But others are somewhat less upset. Andrew Wolf, the publisher of the Riverdale Review, which weighed in by endorsing Cohen in this week’s editorial, aid that Stanton has nothing to complain about. “What do you expect,” he asked. “You take so much money from strip club interests, you have to understand that there will be a negative

reaction. I see no reason for Mr. Cohen to be so skittish about this effort to defeat his opponent. When unaffiliated third parties provide accurate information, this is not a negative campaign. It is an independent effort to get truthful information to voters. If the truth is harmful to the Stanton campaign, that’s the price one pays for taking money from strip club owners.” Ironically, Stanton bitterly attacked Mr. Cohen for accepting a $250 contribution from Daniel Reingold, the CEO of the Hebrew Home for the Aged in Riverdale. “This is a wonderful organization, that does magnificent work for our seniors. How dare Stanton criticize Cohen for taking a measly $250 contribution when he has been so remarkably compromised by strip club interests. Can’t Stanton see the difference?” For his part Cohen said, “I am committed to running a positive campaign; dealing with real issues that have a real impact on us, such as overcrowding in our schools and cleaning up our parks while discussing my record of service… I received a mailer from Jobs for New York. It has been reported in the New York Times that Jobs for New York is a political action committee

made up of labor unions and members of the real estate industry. My campaign has had no contact with this group and the mail they send out has absolutely nothing to do with my campaign. Cohen noted that the mail he received, “while factually correct, does not represent the kind of discussion I want to have with the community. While I am aware that the other candidate in this race has been stuffing flyers under doors attacking my record, I will continue the positive, issue-oriented campaign I have run from the beginning. I am proud to be recognized as an independent leader by a broad cross section of groups interested in the future of our city; from Planned Parenthood Action and the NY League of Conservation Voters to the United Federation of Teachers and 1199 SEIU.” But Mr. Wolf was less concerned. “The negative tone was set initially by Mr. Stanton, going back years to his preemptive jihad against the Riverdale Review. He now is reaping what he has sown, and nobody should feel sorry for him. No one forced him to take this money from strip club interests.

Dionne Warwick draws huge crowd to Seton Park

By PAULETTE SCHNEIDER At dusk last Tuesday, Seton Park was a patchwork of blankets, lawn chairs, picnics, kids and dogs as hundreds of mostly graying Dionne Warwick fans enjoyed the waning summer evening, waiting for the legendary singer to appear on the portable stage. Campaigning politicians, including those running against each other, staked out separate areas and took the opportunity to work the crowd—a perfect captive audience. The free event was part of state Senator Jeff Klein’s annual summertime concert series. People shlepped coolers from

parking spots blocks away, some having driven all the way from Queens to hear the awardwinning diva of contemporary pop and R&B. Warwick finally arrived to great applause, struck up her band and launched into what she called a “walk down memory lane,” treating aging baby boomers to one hit after another from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. “If you see me walking down the street” she began, to no one’s surprise, launching a spontaneous sing-along. “And I start to cry each time we meet, walk on by, walk on by,” the Continued on Page 2

Engel applauds Pentagon’s care for same-sex couples

Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY-16) issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Defense announced it plans to extend full personnel benefits to same-sex military and civilian couples. The benefits will become available by September 3, and are retroactive to the June U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). With the repeal of the DOMA, a law which Rep. Engel opposed in 1996, same-sex families cannot be excluded from federal benefits. ‘This move by the Pentagon is a victory for those families who have long had to suffer from inequality. This step is symbolic of the great strides the fight for equality for same-sex families have taken over time, as it was not long ago that DOMA was the law of the land and the military employed the punitive Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. Currently, 12 states (including New York) and Washington D.C. recognize same-sex marriage, and more are surely to follow. The momentum is on the side of equal rights in this battle. With DOMA gone into the waste bin of history, I hope more steps will continue to be taken in the months and years ahead to finally end discriminatory practices against same-sex couples. It is about time.’

The High Holy Days, 1934 In 1934, almost half the population of The Bronx was Jewish. Because of this, the major religious celebration, the ten days between Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) every Fall was an important event. Since everyone wanted a place in the local synagogue for the services, the Holy Days became a major fund raising opportunity. Seats were sold, and the proceeds went toward paying for the operation of the synagogue for the rest of the year. Synagogue organizations tried to attract more congregants in several ways. The Bronx Jewish Center at 178th Street and Marmion Avenue had Leon Resnick, a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory of Music, act as cantor (who sang the ritual prayers) backed by an augmented choir. The Hebrew Institute of University Heights on University Avenue near Burnside Avenue held special services for children in its social hall conducted by its teaching staff. This shul is now located in Riverdale There were some special causes of concern for the rabbis that year. The country was in the depths of the economic crisis known as the Great Depression. During the High Holy Days, some people tried to make a quick buck by renting catering halls or empty stores to conduct services.

They, too, charged for seats, but then pocketed the profits. The Bronx rabbis labeled these operations “mushroom” synagogues. They popped up during the High Holy Days and then disappeared. The rabbis were afraid that the funds needed to continue the operation of the permanent synagogues would be siphoned off to enrich scam artists. They issued joint warnings to Bronx Jews not to patronize them. Another concern were German Jewish refugees fleeing from the persecution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime established a year and a half earlier. To help them, the United Jewish Appeal mobilized the show business industries to present “A Night of Stars” at Yankee Stadium on the day after Yom Kippur. The Yankees donated the use of the Stadium, and performers, stagehands and construction workers did likewise. It was billed as a non-sectarian effort. Leopold Stokowski and Edwin Franko Goldman led the 1,000-man orchestra. The entertainers included Jackie Cooper, George Burns and Gracie Allen, the Cotton Club Revue, Kate Smith, Jack Benny and Bob Hope. George M. Cohan sang a song he composed for the event and there was a parade of prominent composers and orchestra leaders. The event raised $100,000 for the cause.

Coleman is the Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy in the art history and communication studies department at McGill University in Montreal. She is the author of “Coding Freedom: The Aesthetics and the Ethics of Hacking” and is currently working on a new book on the hackers network Anonymous and digital media. She earned her doctoral and master’s degrees from the University of Chicago in socio-cultural anthropology and her bachelor’s degree in religious studies from Columbia University. “Gabriella Coleman’s visit to campus will serve to highlight and clarify current debates on the ethics of hacking and free and open source software,” Center for Ethics co-director Dr. Mitchell Aboulafia said. “As our inaugural speaker, Professor Coleman will address an important and pressing issue, and set the stage for future events and academic discussions provided by the Center

for Ethics.” The cross-disciplinary center’s mission is to address social justice issues and to encourage dialogue that includes theorists, practitioners, the Manhattan College community and the surrounding communities.

Today, most pupils walk short distances to the local neighborhood school. If the school is located farther away, the city does provide school bus service for them. Thus, going back to school each September is fairly easy for most of them. In the largely suburban and rural Bronx of the 1890s, things were not as easy. Then, the town of Westchester occupied most of the modern Bronx east of the Bronx River. At the center of the town near today’s Westchester Square was District School Number 1, often called the Village School. District School Number 2 was located at the northwest junction of Pelham Parkway and White Plains Road. It was popularly called the Bear Swamp School. District School Number 3 was often called the Throggs Neck School. District School Number 4, on Westchester Avenue near Beach Avenue, was in a small gray stone building with only one teacher and a principal who often had to teach the class herself. These four schools served all of the children in the wide expanse of the town. District School Number 3 (the Throggs Neck School) stood among grass and spruce trees protected by high wooden fences. A retaining wall was in front. The front of the building itself had three

separate entrances, each leading to a classroom. Arriving children put their coats in a cloakroom inside the entrance. Another entrance on the left side of the building led to another classroom. A slightly more elaborate entrance on the right side led to a small hall, off of which were another classroom and the principal’s office. An addition erected at the back of the original structure held playrooms on the lower level and four more classrooms on the top floor. Outside were two playgrounds, one for boys and the other for girls. Covered with cement, each also had trees planted in dirt along the edges. Children used the space to eat their boxed lunches on nice days. On cold days, a coal burning stove in each room stoked by the teacher provided heat. Many children lived far from the school. Three horse drawn stages were provided for them. One came from Baychester. Another came from the Buhre Avenue area, then called the Haight Estate. The third came from Pennyfield and Fort Schuyler at the end of Throggs Neck. Others had to walk, even from such long distances away as Ferry Point and St. Joseph’s Institute for the Deaf. Getting back to school took effort.

House Work explores Lynch's concern and interest in feminine identity and the home, much like the domestic craft work created by 18th and 19th century housewives. Going beyond simple ornamentation, her intensely hand-worked woodcuts clearly illustrate her belief in the purification of self through meditative labor-quietly expressing frustration, instability and

Koppell bill assists vulnerable and homebound individuals

Among the package of bills to improve disaster planning signed into law by Mayor Bloomberg on Monday, August 12, 2013, was a measure sponsored by Council Member Oliver Koppell that will assist vulnerable and homebound individuals in the event of an emergency. It became apparent after Hurricane Sandy that there had not been a coordinated effort on the part of the city to reach individuals who may have been trapped in their homes or who were unable to safely

prepare and evacuate in the days leading up to, during and following the storm. It was only through volunteers that some people were reached. Under this legislation, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) must develop an outreach and recovery procedure to assist vulnerable and homebound individuals before, during and after a storm. The plan must include a description of how OEM will coordinate with relevant agencies, community-based organizations and service providers to provide information, supplies and transportation to these individuals. Furthermore, the legislation requires OEM to describe how it will utilize existing lists of homebound and vulnerable individuals maintained by the above organizations, as well as to describe the process that will inform these individuals about how they can be included on these lists. In addition, the legislation requires OEM to create a door-to-door task force to develop a strategy for locating vulnerable and homebound people in need of assistance and to consult with community groups in developing the outreach plan. 'I have long advocated for procedures that would enable the city to locate people with disabilities and other defenseless and homebound individuals in the event of an emergency such as Hurricane Sandy. Lacking such procedures, many such individuals were overlooked in this dire situation. By signing my bill into law, the Mayor has put into place a mechanism that will go a long way to prevent this happening again,' Koppell said. The package of legislation signed by the Mayor further requires OEM to develop

Thursday, September 5, 2013 • The RIVERDALE REVIEW

Riverdale Review Endorses This year’s election is the most important in years. A new

mayor for our city and a new City Council Member for our community will be elected. Term limits will force City Councilman Oliver Koppell from office, presumably kicking and screaming. The twelve years of his tenure in the City Council have been, to say the least, disappointing. The candidates who have come forward to replace him are not exactly the scintillating types we would have hoped for from a community as intellectually diverse as ours. Three candidates initially presented themselves. One of whom, Cheryl Keeling, was outrageously eliminated by a characteristically undemocratic maneuver from another candidate, Clifford Stanton. We hadn’t seen such shenanigans since the dark old days of the anti-Riverdale Democratic boss, Roberto Ramirez. Ms. Keeling was a fresh face who was contributing new perspective to the discussion. Open discussion and free exchange of ideas are an anathema to Mr. Stanton, who has devoted the past four years and thousands of dollars into preventing you from reading this editorial by putting us out of business. He doesn’t trust you and with good reason. We have yet to meet a single voter who is comfortable with the our revelations about Mr. Stanton accepting thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from one of the nation’s most notorious strip club operators, Robert Gans, of Scores. Somehow, Mr. Stanton has the chutzpah to blame us for revealing this information, implying that somehow we made it up. Stanton has called Gans a philanthropist and characterized his strip clubs as cabarets. Make no mistake about it. They are strip clubs, Gans is their public face, and he is Clifford Stanton’s biggest contributor. It is a part of the public record, it cannot be denied. Other media, such as the New York Daily News, confirm the accuracy of our reporting. Stanton’s misleading charges against us is the reason we have reprinted that article so many times in the past few weeks. Should you fear a strip club magnate with your councilman so deeply beholden to him? We trust your judgment. We gave you the facts Stanton didn’t want you to know. Mr. Stanton has been a divisive and often, to our lights, a dishonest figure. He is against democracy, as he proved with his treatment of Ms. Keeling, and his four-year jihad against us This leaves us with the final candidate in the race, attorney Andrew Cohen. Anyone who has followed these pages can attest that we are not overly enthusiastic with him. We would have preferred a more experienced leader such as Dan Padernacht or Ari Hoffnung. But both men withdrew and have endorsed Mr. Cohen. Andrew Cohen has a smart, solid record of integrity. He has the potential to emerge as his own man from the shadow of other public officials. We have faith that this will be the case. That Mr. Cohen will give us the creative full-time leadership we so desperately need. The words “full time” are critical here. Councilman Koppell has a lucrative law practice presumably takes up much of his time. Mr. Stanton run a business, Nuts4Nuts, that he has said he will continue to manage. Mr. Cohen does pledge to work at his public office full time, which weighs heavily with us, and should with you. We strongly urge you to vote for the best man in the race, Democrat Andrew Cohen, who will e a City Councilmember you can be proud of, one who isn’t afraid of the truth or simple, honest criticism.

For Mayor: Bill Thompson.

For months voters have been exposed to dozens of forums and debates, hundreds of commercials, tons of mail stuffing our mailboxes. Continued on Page 19

Finally: Good Jobs for The Bronx By LENNY CARO Business in the Bronx is booming and private sector job growth here is actually outpacing the rest of the City. The Bronx has been able to achieve this progress – thanks to Borough President Diaz’s leadership – by encouraging investment by private sector companies looking to do business here. The jobs and tax revenue they bring directly benefit the people of the borough and help build a solid foundation for future economic growth in our borough. It is more good news, then, that Mayor Bloomberg officially signed off last week on online grocer FreshDirect’s plan to relocate and bring thousands of jobs to the Bronx. His support confirms what numerous Bronx groups – including the Bronx Chamber of Commerce – have been saying for some time: that FreshDirect will be an economic engine for the borough and help continue the community’s trend of commercial growth. FreshDirect is now moving forward with plans to start construction on its new 500,000-square-foot facility in spring 2014, with an expected

completion in 2016. Clearly, the entire community will feel the economic benefits of the project. During construction, FreshDirect will create nearly 700 construction jobs. Once the project is complete, the company will relocate its entire 2,400-member workforce into our borough. These workers will shop at local businesses, buy coffee from our cafes, and get lunch at our local food venues. This money spent by FreshDirect employees will create even more jobs and opportunities for local businesses. Most importantly, FreshDirect plans to keep expanding its business while ensuring that its growth supports the residents of its new home. Over the next 10 years, FreshDirect will add at least 1,000 new jobs – 30 percent of which will go to Bronx residents. Considering the number of people still struggling to obtain stable employment in a tough economy, these jobs cannot come soon enough. Residents should not to be swayed by unfounded criticisms of FreshDirect.BronxCommunity Board 1 voted overwhelmingly to support FreshDirect’s relocation, Borough President Diaz has

supported the company from the beginning, and numerous civic leaders have expressed their support as well. As CEO and President of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, I have supported the company’s move to the Bronx since Day One. FreshDirect joins a number of other businesses that are expanding or making similar moves to the Bronx. K r i n o s F o o d s , F a i r w a y, Manhattan Beer, The Chefs’ Warehouse and others are planningmajor investments in our neighborhoods. These new businesses will result in more jobs and economic stimulus for a borough that had long been considered forgotten. These are exciting times in the Bronx, and we all have reason to be optimistic about our borough’s future. To ensure continued success, we must support and embrace companies like FreshDirect. In the end, I am confident residents will witness and take part in our borough’s economic renaissance. Together, we can remove the stigmas of the past and show people that the Bronx is booming. Lenny Caro is the President and CEO of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce.

Our endorsements When you finally wade through this glut of information, one man stands tall as honest and consistent, someone strong enough to lean on and sensitive enough to offer compassion when needed. That man is Bill Thompson of Brooklyn. He is a man who understands our outer boroughs, something we were never quite sure of with Mayor Bloomberg. His story and accomplishments are legendary among those who follow government. His mother was a schoolteacher of some renown, his father a trailblazing judge. His appeal transcends race. No matter where you come from, you can identify with his special vision of a New York where all of us can thrive and prosper. He is a liberal, but one that reminds us a bit of Ed Koch. He is unafraid to tell us “no,” when circumstances dictate that we must address the reality on the ground. Unlike Bloomberg, who flew off to Bermuda nearly every weekend, Bill Thompson’s life is much more like yours or mine. This gives him perspective and us the confidence that he can do the job. He will take some criticism for being the choice of the city’s teachers union. But we ae confident that when the answer must be “no,” he will have the strength to give even the teachers the bad news. But is important if we are to fix our broken school system, to have a mayor who respects teacher, who have been so unfairly maligned in recent years. We know him, we trust him, and we are proud to urge our neighbors to join us in voting for Bill Thompson for mayor.

For Public AdvocateDaniel Squadron

Here’s a little known fact: Daniel Squadron, who now represents Brooklyn in the State Senate was brought up in and educated in The Bronx. Her is a bright, thoughtful young man, who stands out among the pack of Democrats seeking the job of Public Advocate. He are happy to support him as a local boy made good.

For ComptrollerScott Stringer

We are sickened by the deceptive advertising of former Governor Eliot Spitzer, for failing to reveal the depth of failure of his administration. Spitzer, who was forced to resign in disgrace after it was revealed he was patronizing prostitutes as he led our state, now seeks a comeback by challenging Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer who seeks promotion to city comptroller. Is there anyone who can truly brush aside the sorry picture of Spitzer, with his black socks, cavorting with the hookers as his state police protective detail waited outside? Stringer has been a sterling public official. We have known him for years, and we are impressed by his real accomplishments. To us Spitzer will always be “Client Number 9,” and not fit for public office. A vote for Scott Stringer is a vote for decency and integrity in public office.

19 The RIVERDALE REVIEW • Thursday, September 5, 2013

Continued from Page 18

Diaz, who faces a token race from and unknown “annoyance” candidate. The weakness of his opponent doesn’t outweigh the need to be cautious, and insure that Mr. Diaz is returned to office. He has become the irreplaceable man in Bronx County, who single-handedly has turned around the local economy and is giving our borough, once again, a growing and vibrant economy. We shudder to think where we would be without him. He has overcome the moral malaise and outright corruption of the Adolfo Carrion administration. He is taking our economy to new heights and he deserves another term to keep working his magic and restoring our borough to the greatness is once enjoyed. We urge everyone to vote for Ruben Diaz, Jr. for reelection as borough president.
