Police seek identity of driver that caused fatality

I-95 CRASHKILLS COACH

US Attorney joins IRT 6 elevator suit

BY ALEX MITCHELLPolice continue to search

for a hit and run driver that took the life of a Cardinal Spellman High School cheer-leading coach and mother of three from Pelham Bay.

Michelle Muccio, 44, was driving south on I-95 near Gun Hill Road with her 16-year-old daughter Fran-cesca, around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 17 when a speeding vehicle abruptly cut in front of her.

The erratic maneuver sent Muccio’s 2004 GMC Envoy to spin out, fl ipping over the road’s metal guardrail, and continuing to roll over sev-eral times.

Michelle was partially ejected from the vehicle and did not survive the impact.

Francesca escaped with

only minor injuries. She was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and has now returned to her family.

Her last words to her mother were “Mom be care-ful” just before the crash.

“It was bad and they knew it,” said Domenick Muccio, Michelle’s father-in-law.

“Her mother had fallen on top of her and my grand-daughter had to crawl out of the window,” he added.

Michelle and Francesca were returning from a fund-raiser at Cardinal Spellman, where Michelle often dedi-cated much of her time as a cheerleading coach.

“The kids thought of her as their other mother. She helped the school when-ever she was needed,” said Spellman’s principal Dan-

iel O’Keefe. “This is a loss for Spellman, for the Bronx and all of New York City,” he added.

The school held a special Mass on Monday commemo-rating Michelle’s life.

Domenick recalled that when the Spellman cheer squad had qualifi ed for na-tionals in Florida, their fl ights had been cancelled due to a blizzard.

“She had two buses there in no time, she wasn’t going to let anything stop them, just like that, they drove down to Florida in a blizzard,” said Domenick.

Earlier in the day, Mi-chelle was in midtown Man-hattan for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, where the Spell

BY SARAH VALENZUELAThe MTA was under fi re

for an item it left out of its ren-ovation of a train station in Pelham Bay.

On Tuesday, March 13, U.S. Attorney, Geoffrey S. Ber-man announced the fi ling of an offi cial complaint in a law-suit against the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the New York City Transit Au-thority.

The complaint, fi led in Manhattan Federal Court, un-der an existing class action that disability rights advo-cates fi led against the MTA in 2016, charges that the agency

failed to install an elevator.The US Department of Jus-

tice alleged the MTA violatied Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act for failure to install an elevator at the Mid-dletown Road station after its renovations were completed in May 2014.

Cosmetic updates and up-grades to the IRT 6 train sta-tion started in October 2013.

The renovations received praise by the community and the MTA and included re-placement of everything from fl oors and walls to stairs and lighting, but did not include a device for the handicapped.

As it stands, there are only two IRT 6 train stations in the Bronx with elevators, Pelham Bay Park and Hunts Point Av-enue.

“There is no justifi cation for public entities to ignore the requirements of the ADA 28 years after its passage,” said Berman in a statement.

According to the suit, the U.S. Department of Transpor-tation and Federal Transit Au-thority corresponded with the MTA and NYCTA.

The agreement stood that MTA and NYCTA would in

BRONX TIMES REPORTER, MARCH 23-29, 2018 3 BTR

BY PATRICK ROCCHIOThe plan to redevelop the

site of a former juvenile de-tention center in Hunts Point cleared an important hurdle.

The sale and development of the shuttered Spofford Ju-venile Detention Center into a housing and multi-purpose complex called The Peninsula was recently approved by the NYC City Council’s Land Use Committee and should come to the full council for a vote shortly after press time.

The project includes 740 units of affordable housing, including some four-bedroom units and 120 three-bedroom units, as well as several food production businesses, a fi lm studio space, a bank, a large grocery store, art space and a wellness center.

Councilman Rafael Sal-amanca, who represents the district and is Land Use Committee chair, said he was a part of the initial dis-cussions on the project when he was Community Board 2’s district manager.

A Request for Expressions of Interest and a Request for Proposals followed, and now the councilman said he is de-

Spofford redevelopment plan approved by council committeelighted to be in the Council to give his stamp of approval on the fi nal project.

“This project is very spe-cial to me,” said Salamanca, adding that he is hopeful that construction will begin soon because currently the fi ve-acre site is sitting vacant, a reminder the site housed a detention center for half a century.

The project will include apartments for families earning 30 to 90 percent of Area Median Income, with five income tiers of afford-able housing, including apartments that are un-der $1,000 a month, said the councilman.

Salamanca began holding Housing Forums in March that he hopes will insure that local residents can both ben-efi t from and reside in The Peninsula, he said.

“One of my major con-cerns…is how do I make sure that my residents get into these units,” said Sala-manca, who said that some of his residents are not apply-ing properly on line, while others have credit scores that are barriers.

The ongoing forums help residents apply properly and provides general informa-tion about how credit scores can improve.

A spokeswoman for the NYC Economic Development Corporation said that it was recently announced that a ‘kitchen incubator’ for small-scale food production would be included in The Peninsula for residents who may want to start food businesses.

The center will provide

them with a professional workspace where they can produce and cook the food items, she said.

Salamanca said that he in-cluded the kitchen incubator after he noticed that many of his constituents have home-based food businesses.

Senator Jeff Klein, who represents the area, said he is looking forward to seeing the project come to fruition.

“It’s encouraging to see this project move forward af-

ter years of neglect at the site of the former detention cen-ter,’ said Klein.

The sale of the site had been under the jurisdiction of the Administration for Children’s Services

The project is being devel-oped by Hudson Company, Mutual Housing of New York, and Gilbane Development.

It is located on a super-block in the vicinity of Spof-ford Avenue and Tiffany Street.

BY ALEX MITCHELLZero’s Cab Company, a cornerstone

private car service in the Throggs Neck area, sold its property on East Tremont and Lafayette avenues and merged its operations with its sister outfi t, Crosby Cabs, a half mile away.

Crosby Cabs is on 1733 Edison Av-enue and Westchester Avenue in Pel-ham Bay.

The new Zero’s-Crosby consortium has also ushered a new ownership era that is dedicated to give the company a ‘facelift,’ starting with an entirely new fl eet of cars.

“We’ve bought a large number of 2015 Nissan Altima’s for our service. Other cab companies lease cars, but we’ve invested in our business and customers,” said Frank Bellezza, one of the company’s most experienced dis-patchers.

“With changes in TLC laws, consol-idating the business was the smartest option,” he added.

The new cars are being temporarily stored on Zero’s former parking lot.

The new Zero’s-Crosby ownership transition team believes its recent pur-chase of cars will bolster its commit-ment to quality service .

“This company has been part of the east Bronx since 1975, and we plan to still serve all of our customers with the same, excellent service,” Bellezza said.

Bellezza recounted the cab compa-ny’s community involvement over its many years in business.

“There have been times that we helped the police fi nd lost people. The community has known us and trusted us,” said Bellezza.

The new team is confi dent that the company’s relationship with the com-munity will propel the business for-ward.

“You don’t know who’s car you’re getting into with other companies. Our customers know our drivers and have trusted them over the years. Safety is our priority,” said Bellezza.

Zero’s-Crosby also works along side United Cerebral Palsy for all of its transportation needs. The company plans to acquire more medical con-tracts in the upcoming months.

The new owners expressed ea-gerness to continue working closely with all of the Bronx communities it serves.

“We take our customers anywhere, from Montauk to Atlantic City. If you want to go there we will take you as long as we also pick you up,” said the dispatcher.

He recalled one customer that was driven to the Catskills each summer by Zero’s.

According to Bobby Jaen, presi-dent of the Throgs Neck Merchants Association, the new owner of Zero’s East Tremont property is John Zheng, who also owns Quality Chef, a Chi-nese food restaurant located across the street.

Jaen said Zheng plans to contruct a 3,000 square foot laundromat in the current building, offering offi cers on the second fl oor and will build several 1,000 square foot stores on the vacant parking lot portion of the property.

The smaller stores have not been pre-rented, but Jaen said they will be leased to upstanding individuals and be in good taste.

BY ALEX MITCHELLA dangerous heroin and fentanyl

pipeline has been broken up in Balti-more that has its roots in the Bronx.

The suspected supplier is a Parkchester man is the suspected supplier of the drug pipeline in addi-tion to transporting the drugs from the Bronx to Maryland dealers.

After a two year, covert investi-gation, Maryland police conducted a raid, and indicted alleged heroin and fentanyl supplier Kereem Thomp-son of 1515 Metropolitan Avenue in Parkchester in addition to 18 others.

During the raid, police also recov-ered 1,075 grams of heroin, 66 grams of fentanyl, more than 200 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine.

They had recovered one hand-gun, three vehicles used in drug traf-fi cking, several thousand dollars in drug-related cash and scales, gel caps and plastic bags used for drug sales.

Thompson is being charged with distribution of heroin, distribution of fentanyl, conspiracy to distribute her-oin and conspiracy to distribute fenta-nyl.

He was apprehended previously for peddling lethal drugs during a traffi c stop late last October.

According to Maryland State district attorney Marilyn J. Mosby “Thompson attempted to make a her-oin and fentanyl delivery to (another suspect). Thompson’s vehicle was in-tercepted and authorities recovered 167 grams of Heroin/Fentanyl mixed and packaged into a white plastic bag. A separate plastic bag of 50 grams of Fentanyl was also found.”

It was only at the time of the raid that he had been connected to the pipeline.

Usually, fentanyl is produced in Chinese labs, shipped to Mexico and then smuggled into the United States.

It’s also fi fty times more potent than heroin, it has correlated with a rising number of overdoses in Mary-land and the Bronx.

Thompson’s involvement in the pipeline occurred at a time when fentanyl overdoses in Maryland had been skyrocketing.

Police are still uncertain of why Thompson had been supplying to Bal-timore.

The drug pipeline was discovered through a police investigation of tips and overdoses in the Baltimore sur-rounding area.

Fentanyl and heroin dealing has plagued the Bronx.

Just over a month ago, Queens Narcotics Major Case Squad recov-ered close to $10 million worth of the highly addictive fentanyl, cloaked in packaged fi sh, from a car they were trailing, less than half a mile from Thompson’s apartment.

NYPD arrested Johnny De Los Santos Martinez after the drugs were found concealed in his 2017 white Acura MDX.

De Los Santos Martinez was under surveillance in an investigation into drug traffi cking in New York City.

He faced two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Police would not confi rm that the two had been working together at this time.

BY ALICIA SCHWARTZ, R.N. AND CARE COORDINATOR, VNSNY

CHOICE HEALTH PLANSPicture this: Your elderly

father lives alone and sees a doctor for several chronic con-ditions, but his latest checkup has you troubled. His high blood pressure has been creep-ing up again, chronic pain seems unmanageable and, con-cerned about keeping diabetes under control, the doctor has prescribed new medications. When you stop by for a visit with your dad, you encounter unopened prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, half-empty containers of out-dated drugs and an assortment of loose pills you cannot even begin to decipher.

For many caring for an older loved one with several chronic conditions, this scenario may be heart-breaking and famil-iar. With more than 83 percent of people over the age of 65 tak-ing prescription medications, the possibility of mismanage-ment - including overdose or under dose - is a growing con-cern for family caregivers. While balancing several medi-cations can prove diffi cult for anyone, risks for the elderly can be complicated by memory

loss as well as vision and hear-ing impairments.

The average senior takes more than fi ve different pills daily, not including over-the-counter drugs or supplements, which can leave them more vul-nerable to adverse reactions. In fact, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention found that senior citi-zens are twice more likely to visit the emergency room due to adverse drug reactions than their younger counterparts.

At VNSNY CHOICE Health Plans, my colleagues and I work closely with those in our care and their family caregiv-ers to reconcile all medications following a doctor’s appoint-ment or trip to a specialist. We use new electronic medical re-cord systems that send remind-ers and alerts to keep patients on schedule. You can help your loved one manage their medi-cations safely, too. Here are a few guidelines to help navigate medication adherence with family members and their doc-tors or pharmacist:

1. Make a List. Keep a per-sonal record of all the meds your loved one is taking, includ-ing the name of the medication, the dosage instructions, the

reason it was prescribed and the name and number of the doctor who prescribed it. Don’t forget to include over-the-coun-ter meds and herbal supple-ments, too. If your loved one’s medication regimen is too com-plex to keep track of, ask your doctor if a service like Med-Minder, which sends caregiver alerts when a dosage is missed, might be something to try.

2. Take All Medications to All of Your Doctors. An es-timated 100,000 older Ameri-cans are hospitalized for ad-verse drug reactions yearly, and three of the most com-monly prescribed drugs – insu-lin, the blood thinner warfarin (aka Coumadin) and the heart drug digoxin – are most often the cause, according to a study by researchers at the CDC pub-lished in the New England Journal of Medicine. If you or your loved one is unsure about any prescriptions, put every-thing in a bag and take them to your doctor. Ask for help fi gur-ing out what you are taking and why to avoid taking medica-tions incorrectly. Being knowl-edgeable about your meds is the fi rst step in preventing medica-tion errors. Most importantly, don’t leave the doctor’s offi ce

without an updated list of all your meds. The doctor may have changed or discontinued a prescription and it is easy to forget such changes by the time you get home. For added assur-ance, share the list with your pharmacist who can help keep track of and adjust medications too.

3. Ask Questions. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Every time a new med is recommended or prescribed, ask the physician and pharmacist these key ques-tions: Why has this been pre-scribed? How does it work? How can I tell if the drug is working? What are the possi-ble side effects? Is this safe to take with other prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs? I also recommend asking about the risk of taking medications with different foods and drinks. Something that seems innocent may cause an adverse reaction. Grapefruit juice, licorice, choc-olate, alcohol and other food and beverages are known to increase side-effect risks with certain medications.

4. Change Dosage. Over-whelmed? Ask your prescrib-ing physicians about possibly lowering the number of dif-ferent pills taken throughout the day. Studies show that the more pills a person takes, the less likely they are to adhere to the schedule and dosage.

5. Store Smart. Don’t keep your meds in the bathroom or the kitchen. Many people are unaware that moisture and heat in these areas can impact medication potency. Knowing how to properly take and store your medications not only helps them work more effec-tively, it could save your life.

And remember, It’s Okay to Ask for Help! According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, family caregivers spend an av-erage of over 24 hours per week solely providing care! It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help. Speak with your doctor if managing medications is becoming a problem. In addi-tion to the solutions mentioned here, you may be eligible for as-sistance from a licensed home care provider such as VNSNY or Partners in Care. Even a home health aide who comes once a week can provide help-ful reminders for forgetful loved ones—and that can bring everyone peace of mind.

The right lane now allows cars to go straight ahead or turn right as cars approach Macdonough Place on Country Club Road. Photo courtesy of Country Club Civic Association

BY PATRICK ROCCHIOA local community got the

traffi c change they had re-quested.

Members of the Country Club Civic Association, along with Community Board 10, convinced the NYC Depart-ment of Transportation to change the turning options on Country Club Road as it approaches MacDonough Place.

Previously, a vehicle in the right lane on the Country Club community’s main thor-oughfare had to turn right.

This caused a tremen-dous traffi s back up on Coun-try Club Road during the morning rush when most of the traffi c crosses over the Bruckner Expressway, at Jarvis Avenue, going straight towards Pelham Bay or left to access the I-95 South ser-vice road, according to the group’s leadership.

After years of advocating for this change, the DOT re-studied the intersection traf-fi c and now allows both lanes to travel over the overpass, with the right lane also offer-ing the turn option said Mi-chael McNerney, CCCA pres-

CCCA gets DOT to relieve Country Club bottleneckident.

“We are very pleased with the Department of Transpor-tation’s decision,” said Mc-Nerney, adding “We feel that this will improve traffi c fl ow around Country Club.”

McNerney asked the inter-section be revaluated based on feedback received from members at monthly meet-ings, and he tasked the orga-nization’s vice president, Ar-lene Grauer, with achieving the traffi c remediation.

“This was a pet peeve of mine because I just knew it was dangerous and saw many accidents,” she said, adding that she was happy that DOT decided to take action.

Grauer said that several years before, the DOT was asked to study the intersec-tion but did so during the July 4th weekend when people were away and traffi c was light.

The recent change will allow traffi c to fl ow better, Grauer believes, because during the busy periods traf-fi c going over the overpass to-wards Pelham Bay can stay in the right lane, while those looking to travel south along-side I-95 can bear left to turn

onto Bruckner Boulevard. This will prevent lane

changes on the overpass, which Grauer said resulted in accidents and many close calls.

“To me it was always a safety issue,” said Grauer, adding it was also about in-convenience.

The DOT has already changed the road mark-ings, said McNerney, adding that there are still two older metal traffi c signs, indicat-ing the right lane is for right turns only, that need to be re-moved.

Now the public needs to be educated and notifi ed about the change, he said.

Matt Cruz, CB 10 district manger, said that the change is an example of how the com-munity can receive what they request, even if it did take some time.

Cruz’s predecessor, Ken Kearns, also worked on the project, said the district manager.

“The Country Club Civic Association is ecstatic and the board is pleased that CCCA got what they wanted,” said Cruz.

BY SARAH VALENZUELAWhen someone suffers

from a stroke, they often question why.

Why them, why now, why here?

After the initial shock and trip to the hospital, the next step is to get better.

Some of the effects of a stroke are usually muscle weakness or paralysis and slurred speech.

The way your brain com-putes thoughts are challeng-ing.

So you go to physical ther-apy and depending on how bad your condition is, you could be looking at an esti-mated recovery of one year, maybe even longer.

Advances in modern med-icine and technology are certainly changing the way stroke victims, and many others who require physi-cal therapy, go through their treatments.

Centers Health Care’s Tri-boro Center on Teller Ave-nue in the south Bronx, as of 2018, joined the future of these physical therapy treat-ments.

Implementing a computer

New tech improves physical therapy in the south Bronx

program called Jintronix, residents and physical ther-apists can more accurately track muscular imbalances and disabilities, match and correct movements, and have fun while exercising.

“You think you’re playing a game, but you’re exercis-

ing,” said Rafael Crichlow, a resident at the Triboro Cen-ter.

Seven months ago, Crichlow suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed on the right side of his body.

He started traditional physical therapy at the facil-

ity four months ago that was replaced by the Jintronix program in February.

He started the program still wheelchair bound, but only one month later he was able to walk and move around without any assistance.

“With regular exercise, you’re always thinking about something else,” con-tinued Crichlow. “With this program you have to focus on doing the exercise on the screen.”

One of the physical thera-pists at the facility, Jeanette Calara, said Crichlow’s pro-gression would have taken him almost a year to achieve using traditional treatments.

“This program puts us on par with Manhattan facili-ties,” said Calara who has been a physical therapist for almost 27 years. “To have something like that in the Bronx has put this facility on the upper echelon of the south Bronx facilities.”

The computer program looks like a Nintendo Wii or Xbox Kinect game.

A camera links patients to the program and tracks

their movements as partici-pants interact with objects on the screen, doing things like walking around the fl oor to touch lit up markers on the screen or moving their arms in the air to catch balls that approach from the screen.

“People take little things for granted, like holding a glass of water, but I can do that now,” said another pa-tient at Triboro Center, James Galberth, who suffered from a stroke in 2013.

Galberth’s stroke left him completely paralyzed on his left side and has been in physical therapy since. Gal-berth also started using Jin-tronix.

“When you have a stroke your mind and vision are on two different levels,” contin-ued Galberth. “This program helps with your depth percep-tion and trains your mind to coordinate with your body.”

The facility has been on a three month trial with Jin-tronix, but plans to keep the program after it’s trial phase is fi nished, according to the director of Rehabilitation at the Triboro Center, April Ann James.

BY PATRICK ROCCHIOAn annual event that brings to-

gether the community is once again paying homage to outstanding neigh-borhood volunteers.

The 45th Precinct Community Council recently announced that it would honor several civilians, along with police personnel, at its annual breakfast on Wednesday, May 9.

The gala will take place at 8:30 a.m. at Villa Barone Manor with tick-ets costing $15 dollars and sponsor-ships available.

“What makes this a great event is that we get everyone from every part of our community,” said Bob Bieder the 45th Precinct Council’s presi-dent.

Michael McNerney, Country Club Civic Association president; Michelle Torrioni, Pelham Bay Taxpayers and Community Association presi-dent; Fred Ramftl, City Island Civic Association vice-president; Junius Williams, Riverbay Public Safety Committee director; former Council-man James Vacca and Bill Mahoney, Edgewater Park Security Committee chairman will all be recognized, said Bieder.

The precinct council president said that while elected offi cials are not honored generally, an exception was made in Vacca’s case since he is now out of offi ce.

45th Council honors leaders at May 9 breakfastVacca’s been serving his commu-

nity since he was a 13-year old fi ght-ing for better bus service, said Bie-der.

Fellow council board member John Doyle has said that he was im-pressed by how Vacca has mentored so many people who came out of his offi ce to have fantastic careers in public service.

Torrioni is someone who has done a phenomenal job leading her com-munity’s association, and is some-one who’s committed herself to her neighborhood, cares what is going on and is a fi ghter for their concerns, said Bieder.

Annie Boller, a council board member, said Torrioni was able to look at both sides of an issue.

McNerney said the honor was the fi rst he was ever contacted on in ten years of community volunteer work, and that he is thrilled to be recog-nized.

Doyle said that many of the 45th Precinct’s police offi cers hold Mc-Nerney in high regard.

Award recipient Fred Ramftl said that the award was very unexpected and that he appreciated being recog-nized.

Ramftl recalled that he got his start in the 1990s when he was not even in his teens. He was riding on a bicycle and hit a pothole on Carroll

Street, damaging the bicycle chain. He then corresponded with the city to get it fi xed.

“It is the little things that can im-prove a community,” he said.

Mahoney was honored, said Doyle, because he was a stalwart in attend-ing 45th council meetings and often brings a contingent from his Edgewa-ter Park community.

According a published report, the committee Williams leads recently

received a grant from Assemblyman Michael Benedetto’s offi ce for the in-stallation of security cameras in Co-op City. Williams is a Riverbay board member and he’s been an activist for safety and security for years, said board member Joe Boiko.

BY PATRICK ROCCHIOTwo public hospitals in the

borough are celebrating an achievement in childhood and adolescent dental care.

Jacobi Medical Center and North Central Bronx Hospi-tal announced that they had reached a milestone of provid-ing preventative and restor-ative dental care to 2,500 high-risk young people as part of a fi ve-year, $2.5 million grant from the federal government.

The grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Ser-vices Administration allowed for the expansion of the NYC Health + Hospitals programs geared towards children, im-proved access for young peo-ple and helped to train addi-tional resident doctors who will learn to integrate den-tistry and medicine together for their entire careers, said hospital offi cials.

“The (focus) of this grant was specifi cally in the area of pediatric dentistry, because obviously if you start out with poor dental health you essen-tially become a dental cripple for the rest of your life,” said Dr. Victor Badner, chairman of both hospitals’ dentistry de-partment.

Pediatric dental care milestones at NCB, Jacobi hospitals

The allocation allowed the hospitals to be “more up-stream” and allow children to prevent entirely preventable oral diseases by providing ac-cess to dental services as early as possible in their lives, re-

ducing disparities in care and reinforcing good hygiene prac-tices, said Badner.

The grant coincided with a proactive approach to reach-ing parents, as the dentistry department used additional

resources to outreach to a Women’s Infants and Chil-dren program, pediatric units at the hospitals and the Illyria Clinic for the Albanian com-munity, said Badner.

The stepped up efforts also includes the hiring of addi-tional dental assistants and hygienists, equipping two new operatories and expanded den-tal clinic hours, he said.

The $2.5 million dollar grant covers July 2015 to July 2020, he said, adding that the hospitals are already looking at possible grants for the fu-ture.

It has helped bring the De-partment of Dentistry further along in facilitating public health, while being more cul-turally sensitive and reaching patients they wouldn’t other-wise reach, according to hos-pital offi cials.

Dr. Nadia Laniado, author of the 60-page grant and direc-tor of community dentistry and population health, said re-ceiving this type of funding is a highly competitive process with only roughly a dozen awarded out of a multitude of applications.

The allocation, known as a Title 7 grant, is a residency

training program grant with a component improving access to care, she said, in what is a win-win situation for all.

“We have been able to in-crease the number of pediat-ric dental residents from eight to ten,” she said, adding the additions amounted to a 25% growth in the pediatric dental program.

A lot of parents, especially many immigrant and fi rst-time parents, may not realize how important it is to estab-lish a ‘dental home’ for chil-dren within the fi rst years of their lives, said Laniado.

“We can provide them with education, and teach them about proper feeding, nutri-tion and oral hygiene…before the child may be doing dam-age that can be harmful to their health,” she said.

Badner said that while it is often possible to repair dental damage, it is also typi-cally costly and out of reach to many patients.

The grant and the work done by the dental team rep-resents a commitment to pro-viding world-class outpatient care, said Christopher Mas-tromano, Jacobi’s executive director, in a statement.

Message from Councilman Mark Gjonaj

COUNCILMAN MARK GJONAJ

BY FRANK V. VERNUCCIO, JR., J.D.

The disreputable practice of forcing voters and taxpayers to pay for political and ideolog-ical causes they disagree with is fi nally under attack.

The most blatant part of this abuse ended in June, when the Department of Jus-tice (DOJ) ended the Obama-era policy that diverted about $3 billion in third-party set-tlements to left-wing causes. A DOJ statement noted that: “When the federal govern-ment settles a case against a corporate wrongdoer, any settlement funds should go fi rst to the victims and then to the American people— not to bankroll third-party spe-cial interest groups or the po-litical friends of whoever is in power,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “Unfortunately, in recent years the Depart-ment of Justice has sometimes required or encouraged defen-dants to make these payments to third parties as a condition of settlement. With this direc-tive, we are ending this prac-tice and ensuring that settle-ment funds are only used to compensate victims, redress harm, and punish and deter unlawful conduct.”

Under the last Administra-tion, the Department repeat-edly required settling par-ties to pay settlement funds to third party community organizations that were not directly involved in the liti-gation or harmed by the defen-dant’s conduct. Pursuant to the Attorney General’s memo-randum, this practice will im-mediately stop.”

A Competitive Enterprise Institute study by Hans Bader noted that “By enabling gov-ernment offi cials to reward and fi nancially strengthen their political allies, diver-sions of settlement funds cre-ated a political imbalance that undermined democracy. State attorneys general have also diverted government settle-ment funds to political allies. ‘With control over big money fl ows,’ [the CATO Institute’s Walter] Olson noted in 2015, ‘smart AGs can populate a po-litical landscape with grateful allies.’ The Obama adminis-tration similarly ‘came under justifi ed criticism for using the mortgage settlement to funnel tens of millions of dol-lars’ to predominantly ‘left-leaning community-organiz-ing groups.’

“As [CEI] noted in 2011, the Obama administration sued many banks for discrimina-tion (including banks accused of “racially disparate im-pact” for using commonplace, colorblind lending policies), and then diverted settlement funds to left-wing groups al-lied with it: Fearing bad pub-licity from being accused of ‘racism’, banks have paid out millions in settlements after being sued by the Justice De-partment, even though they would probably prevail before most judges if they aggres-sively fought such charges (al-though doing so would proba-bly cost them millions in legal fees). A Michigan judge called one proposed settlement ‘ex-tortion.’ These settlements provide cash for ‘politically favored ‘community groups’

allied with the Obama Admin-istration, and the [Wall Street] Journal’s Mary Kissel pre-dicts that ‘many’ of the loans mandated by these settlements ‘will eventually go bad.’”

The forced contributions weren’t restricted to the fed-eral government. A salient example comes from Maine, as reported by Mainewire in 2012. “Effi ciency Maine, the quasi-governmental agency that pushes to increase the use of ‘alternative energy,’ has used taxpayer funds to buy advertising on Maine In-sights, the ultra-liberal web-site…that regularly advocates for extreme liberal positions and causes …[the website] also regularly features inter-views and profi les of promi-nent Democrat leaders…[it] does not publish profi les of Re-publicans, but criticizes them regularly.

Current examples abound. An Independent Journal Re-view report earlier this month disclosed that “Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh [has] announced the city will be pro-viding free buses to students who wish to attend the March For Our Lives [a gun control event] rally in Washington, D.C., that is scheduled to take place March 24. In addition to the buses, the city will provide T-shirts and lunches for the students.”

One prominent current

arena in which taxpayer dol-lars are misused for partisan political purposes is in public-fi nanced state universities. A signifi cant number of these in-stitutions have a track record of both advocating for left-wing candidates and causes while harassing and censor-ing moderate and conserva-tive students and faculty. This becomes particularly acute during presidential election years.

Peter Wood, in a 2012 Chronicle of Higher Educa-tion article, reported: “A se-nior [Ohio State] English pro-fessor invited his colleagues to open their classrooms…to organizers in the Obama cam-paign. They would fi rst en-courage students to register to vote and then, if the instruc-tors were willing, encourage students to volunteer for the Obama campaign…My hunch that there is more to this is based on what happened in 2008, when the Obama cam-paign rather openly pitched the idea that colleges and uni-versities should award aca-demic credit to students who volunteered for the campaign. I blew the whistle on an in-stance of that at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, which abruptly canceled a campaign-for-credit offer by some academics at the college. But it turned out that the same thing was going on at other universities.”

Advocating for a particu-lar leftist cause or candidate is only half the problem. The other part concerns the cen-sorship of centrists and con-servative students, who are

frequently confi ned to small ‘free speech zones’ while left-wing ideas are openly advo-cated within classrooms.

There is movement on this front, as well. Andrew Blake reported in the March 6 Wash-ington Times that “Florida lawmakers have passed a bill that eliminates ‘free speech zones’ at public universities and allows schools to be sued for restricting campus pro-tests, a practice predominately employed against conservative students. The Florida Excel-lence in Higher Education Act of 2018 passed in the House and Senate by votes of 84-28 and 33-5, respectively, sending it to Governor Rick Scott’s desk where it awaits his approval… Last-minute efforts waged by Democrats in both the House and Senate on Monday failed to strip Mr. Rommel’s language from the bill.”

Not content with inappro-priately using taxpayer dol-lars for partisan politics at home, Fox Newsreports that “Republican lawmakers in Washington started asking questions about whether U.S. tax dollars also were being used to fund Soros projects in the small, conservative-led country of Macedonia. Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., led a group of House lawmak-ers in writing to Ambassa-dor Jess Baily — an Obama appointee — demanding an-swers. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, also expressed concerns about USAID money going to Soros’ Open Society Foundations as part of a broader concern that the U.S. Embassy has been tak-ing sides in party politics.”

Last week I spearheaded an ef-fort to prevent the City Landmarks Preservation Commission from des-ignating two single family homes on City Island against the wishes of the home owners. While I appreciate and champion the need to preserve loca-tions and properties that embody the values and principles that have made New York City a symbol of hope and determination to so many around the world, I don’t believe that a compel-ling case has been made to why these properties should be designated as landmarks over the wishes of the property owners.

While government must act to pre-serve and protect the common good, it is important that its authority doesn’t needlessly trample on the rights on the very people it’s meant to serve – whether it be land marking, over-bur-densome fees on small businesses and ‘road-dieting’ that seeks to solve one

problem but creates others.I recognize that the two proper-

ties are representative of architec-tural styles that are no longer com-monly seen throughout the city, but the homeowners also recognize this on their own and, as the LPC pointed out, they are doing a great job of maintaining their property. These are both diligent homeowners who do not need the government to tell them that they should preserve the quality of their homes.

In addition to being responsible property owners who have assured the LPC they will continue to pre-serve their homes, there are other le-gitimate reasons to oppose the land-mark designation.

One of the homes was a mass-pro-duced catalog home. While it may not be so common anymore and does have certain historical value, it is not worth putting a homeowner through

all of the additional burdens that come with the landmark designation.

Landmark designations require multiple approvals for alterations and enlargements that could make it very diffi cult for home improve-ments. It is understood that land-mark designations are intended to preserve history and deter irrespon-sible changes, but for the two homes on City Island these burdens are not outweighed by the relatively minor historical value that the property has to New York City.

BY MARY JANE MUSANOHave you ever wondered

where the best hospitals are lo-cated? I have, and according to the annual IBM Watson Health report, they are not here. Not only are they not in our com-munity, they are not even in New York.

Every year since 1993, IBM Watson Health has been con-ducting their 100 Top Hospi-tals report which is based on overall organizational perfor-mance. The 100 top hospitals showed the most signifi cant performance on these impor-tant measures: best survival rates, fewer complications and

infections, shorter length of stay, shorter emergency de-partment wait times, lower in-patient expenses, higher profi t overall margins and higher pa-tient satisfactions.

It’s important to note that unlike some other top hospi-tals reports, no hospitals paid to market this very distinctive honor. Jean Chenoweth, senior vice-president of 100 Top Hospi-tals Programs for IBM Watson Health, said that the country’s best hospitals have proven that an unrelenting focus on qual-ity, supported by constant mea-surement against peer perfor-mance benchmarks, can drive

improved outcomes while re-ducing costs and growing profi t margins.

IBM Watson Health notes that if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those treated in the award winning hospitals more than 102,000 additional lives could be saved, more than 43,000 ad-ditional patients could be com-

plication free, more than $4.4 billion in inpatient costs could be saved and approximately 200,000 fewer discharged pa-tients would be readmitted within 30 days.

So, why don’t we have great hospitals in our community? The top 100 hospitals were made up of small hospitals, large hos-pitals, teaching hospitals and major teaching hospitals. They were in small towns and big cit-ies. Every hospital can be an excellent hospital. We must not accept anything less.

So, you are probably won-dering where the closest IBM Watson Health award winning

hospitals are. Pennsylvania has six. There are 15 in Ohio. Sadly, our local hospitals are one star rated. That must change.

Next Meeting

Our next membership meet-ing is on Tuesday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the First Lutheran Church on Baisley and Holly-wood avenues. We have asked staff from the NYC Department of Planning to be our guest speakers. DCP creates the zon-ing laws that the NYC Depart-ment of Buildings enforces. If you have concerns regarding required parking or housing density, you should attend this meeting.

From Nowhere is the story of three undocumented Bronx high school seniors and the ob-stacles they face while trying to pursue the American dream. A Q&A with Kate Ballen, the fi lm’s co-producer and screen-writer, will follow.

From Nowhere marks Kate Ballen’s producing debut. An author, journalist and play-

Film screening at Lehman Collegewright, From Nowhere is in-spired by Ballen’s decade-long experience working at a Bronx high school, where she helped dozens of undocumented stu-dents navigate the immigra-tion and college process. The fi lm is based on a play she wrote that was performed at Soho Theatre/Fringe Encore, and that she and director Mat-

thew Newton transformed into the feature. The Northwest Bronx Indivisible Group in col-laboration with the Lehman D.R.E.A.M. Team, the Lehman College Offi ce of Campus Life, and the Latin American and the Latino & Puerto Rican Studies Program will be hosting a fi lm screening of From Nowhere on Wednesday, April 18, at 7 p.m.

at the Lovinger Theatre, Leh-man Campus, 250 Bedford Park Boulevard. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Aissetou Cisse Scholarship Fund, which awards scholar-ships to undocumented Leh-man students, helping to pro-vide fi nancial support while they pursue their degrees.

Tickets can be purchased at

the door at Lovinger Theatre on the Lehman College Cam-pus. Donations can be made at the door as well. Students with a student ID will be admitted free. (A donation of $5 is sug-gested). The fee for the general public is $10. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7:00 p.m. For more information-call (718) 960-8535.

At every step of the way as we age, we need to refl ect on and enhance our habits that keep us healthy, and we need to fi nd ways to improve upon those that do not.

I started exercising six times per week, 30 minutes per day, four years ago when I was 51 years old. Before that, I went to the gym or jogged outside a couple times per week. What

made me increase my weekly workout regimen to an almost daily rou-tine? The benefi ts that I obtained once I started exercising almost every day.

From an enhanced mood, to an amazing feeling of well-being, to more energy and pep in my step, it did not mat-ter what type of activity I chose (from walking/running outside, riding

a bike, taking a class at the gym, to doing the elliptical machine or treadmill) in regards to the rewards that I got.

I could not have got-ten to the place of doing this six days per week if I had not had a “eureka” moment in 2014. Almost every morning before then, I struggled to de-cide if I would exercise. But one day, while out-side running, I realized

that I needed to put ex-ercise into my life and think about it the same way that I did about something like brushing my teeth.

There was no doubt in my mind that I would brush and fl oss my teeth every morning before leaving my apartment; I had to begin thinking about my exercise rou-tine that way, too. That way, there was no wres-

tling with the decision on a daily basis, instead the decision was already made for me. Exercise then became another daily habit that I followed to keep myself healthy and feeling good. I had to get up earlier, sometimes before anyone else was moving about, but the payoff was worth it.

It is never too late for any of us as older adults to start moving more, to start being more active, to start an exercise rou-

tine that we like. The key is to choosing something that works for you and that feels good to you, whether it’s for fi ve min-utes per day or 30. Then you can make it a perma-nent part of your life like other healthy habits that you would never think of giving up.

Weekly tax tips from The Bronx Tax Man

John Cerini, Enrolled Agent

St. Helena Catholic Church, 1315 Olmstead Avenue, will host its annual Passover Seder Supper on Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium. This year, Karl De Souza, who is on staff with Jews for Jesus, will be fl ying over to St. Hel-ena’s from Paris, France, to

conduct the model Seder. He will discuss and demonstrate how Passover was celebrated originally in the Old Testa-ment, at the time of Jesus, and by Jews today.

The term seder, which is a festive holiday meal, actually means ‘order.’ It is called this

because the meal is done in a certain order which takes us from slavery to freedom. The Haggadah - which means ‘the telling’ - is the book used at the Passover seder. The Hag-gadah explains the foods on the seder plate, recounts the highlights of the Exodus, and

includes songs, prayers, ques-tions and vignettes. Seders are meant to be low-key and fun.

Questions are welcome and a lighthearted spirit is in order. After all, we are cel-ebrating that we are not slaves anymore. At the seder rejoice, take your time, and ponder the

questions of freedom and ser-vice to God. Many people re-cline at the seder to celebrate being free. This is a very spe-cial celebration, one you will not want to miss. Everyone is welcome.

For more information, call (718) 892-3233.

Annual Seder Supper at St. Helena Church

BY JOHN CERINIENROLLED AGENT

This week we will be covering a few things you may need to know as we approach the last few weeks of tax season. This year the deadline is April 17. You may not be able to com-plete your taxes for a few reasons. Let’s run through a few reasons you may be at a crossroads and how you can overcome them. At the end of this article, there will be a special bonus tip.

1. You cannot locate all your docu-mentation or have yet to receive all your documentation from employers, banks, brokerage houses, and others to complete your taxes.

2. You owe a large sum which you cannot afford to pay the balance.

3. Your spouse or loved one may have passed away and you don’t know how to complete the return without them.

4. You have withdrawn money from an individual retirement plan to pay for college and were told you will have a penalty to calculate.

5. You must fi le your business re-turn before you can fi le your per-sonal taxes and you have not been able to do so.

6. You don’t want to fi le your re-turn because you know the refunds will be taken from the state or govern-ment due to a debt of your spouse.

These and many more reasons may be holding up your taxes. There are some basic solutions that exist to help you.

For example:1. File for an extension of your per-

sonal taxes by simply doing your best estimate of your tax return and fi le forms 4868 for Internal Revenue Ser-vice and IT-370 for New York State. By doing this you will give yourself an additional time of six months to com-plete your taxes. However, beware that the extension will only give you time to fi le your paperwork. If you in-fact owe taxes, you must pay the bal-ance by April 15 or penalty and inter-est will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full. If your prob-lem is not fi ling the taxes, however paying your balance is a problem then your solution may be answer number 2 below.

2. Make a Payment plan with the

Internal Revenue Service. This is possible by completing the federal tax form known as Form 9465. This form will allow you to request an offi -cial payment plan. You will be asked to send a down payment, choose an amount you wish to pay monthly and you will be given the freedom to choose what day of the month you prefer to make your payment each month if it falls within the fi rst to the twenty eighth. The government is very fl exible and will usually accept your request if your total bill will be paid of in six years or less. This means you can divide your balance into 72 equal installments. However, you should try to get it paid off as fast as possible. Don’t think for a second that this is a free service the govern-ment offers us. The I.R.S. charges a standard user fee of $225 to set up a payment plan, then will charge you a hefty interest rate until you are paid in full. Therefore, you should only use this method as a last resort. If you have a large balance and would like to pay it in full using your home equity line of credit, note that you are not allowed to deduct the interest paid on your HELOC Loan. You are only allowed to deduct interest on these loans if the funds were used to purchase or improve your home.

3. If you have a dilemma because your spouse or loved one has passed away and you do not know how you will complete the taxes now that they are no longer here to sign the taxes. This can be overcome by fi ling Fed-eral Tax Form 1310. Certain restric-tions apply, but should be able to com-plete the return on their behalf and pay the taxes or claim the refunds on this tax return. You must agree to fol-low government and state laws to pay the debt of the deceased tax payer if you are claiming any refunds. You should seek the advice of your tax professional to make sure the form is being fi led correctly.

4. If you have not received your W-2 from your employer yet and you have made many attempts to get a re-placement copy, don’t go crazy. You can complete form 4852 which is a substitute W-2 form. You will need your last paystub of 2017 so that you can transfer the information of your income year to date. You will need to

explain your attempts to get the ac-tual W-2 from your employer. In some cases, the Paystubs will not be easy to understand due to many tax de-ferred deductions you may be having deducted from your paycheck. Once again you should seek the help of a tax professional.

5. If you pulled money out of an in-dividual retirement account so that you could pay for yourself or your de-pendents college tuition, you may be able to waive the penalty for the early withdrawal of the funds by complet-ing federal tax form 5329. This form will allow you to list certain exclu-sions for 10% early withdrawal pen-alty.

6. If you needed money to pay for higher education and you decided to instead cash in EE Savings bonds to do so, there is good news for you as well. The earnings on this bond may be excluded from your income by fi l-ing form 8815. You will need to ex-plain which of your dependents was the college student and how much they paid for tuition. However, be-ware, you cannot apply for any of the educational tax credits if you claim tax exemption on 8815. The same rule applies if you withdraw funds from your child’s 529 plan. The govern-ment will not let you double dip and get multiple tax credits or exemp-tions for the same funds used to pay for the tuition.

7. If your spouse owes money for any reason to the government or state for which you must fi le, there is a way around losing your refund. Sim-ply fi le form 8379 (Federal Injured Spouse Form) or IT-280 (NYS Injured Spouse Form) These forms will pro-tect your share of your refund. The return will take longer to process; however, you will eventually be able to obtain your rightful share of the joint tax refund. This form basically tells the tax authority that you know your spouse owes money for some-thing he/she has done in the past, however that you do not want that past debt to be applied against your share of the refund.

Bonus tip. Did you know that you only have three years from the origi-nal due date of the return to go back and request a refund for a previous year’s tax return? For example, if the

tax return for 2014 was due on April 15, 2015, that means you could claim your refund for 2014 until the fi nal day of April 15. If you attempt to fi le that tax return as of April 16, you will not qualify to obtain that refund and will lose the opportunity. There-fore, beware if you have not com-pleted your tax return for 2014, you have less than one month to complete this tax return or your refund will be lost forever.

These and many other forms are available to be fi led and save you money and obtain your maximum re-fund allowed. However, they may be complicated to understand. There-fore, you should always seek the ad-vice of your professional tax pre-parer. We at Bronx Tax Man are here to help you all year round. If you need our help reviewing or complet-ing your taxes, please feel free to call us at (718) 829-1040. As an Enrolled Agent of the Internal Revenue Ser-vice we are proud to be here when you need us all year. We do not close after-tax season like the many sea-sonal tax franchise offi ces you may see commercials for this time of year. Please do not be fooled by the catchy commercials they run on TV. Make sure your tax professional has the ex-perience and qualifi cations to work on your taxes. Many preparers out there only have a few weeks train-ing. We are located at 3600 E. Trem-ont Avenue.

The story of the Bronx members of a brotherhood formed by Irish set-tlers in America is coming to light in the BronxNet produced documentary The Ancient Order of Hibernians in the Bronx. Produced with input from Ancient Order of Hibernians’ Bronx County Board president Bob Nolan, the documentary tells the story of how the order shares Irish culture and music, encourages charitable service and community involvement by the church, and provides educational and other support for all people in chapter communities. The Ancient Order of Hi-bernians has several Bronx chapters, Kingsbridge/Riverdale in the west, Woodlawn/Wakefi eld in the north, Throggs Neck in the east and another east Bronx chapter covering Morris Park, Pelham Bay, Allerton and Coun-try Club.

“When I approached BronxNet with the idea of a documentary on the Irish

Ancient Order of Hibernians on BronxNetcoming to America and settling in the Bronx and joining the Hibernians, Michael Max Knobbe, Marisa White and their team were immediately re-ceptive and produced a high quality video which detailed the struggles of the Irish who were overcome with hard work and a strong faith. Bronx-Net brought their journeys to life, said Nolan.

“We thank Bob Nolan and every-one from the Bronx chapters of the An-cient Order of Hibernians for giving us the opportunity to tell the story of this amazing organization. It was fascinat-ing hearing about their history, ser-vice and culture and I’m sure the sto-ries will resonate with the people who make up our diverse Bronx cultures,” said BronxNet executive director Mi-chael Max Knobbe.

“We are pleased to bring you the experiences of members of the Bronx Chapter of the Ancient Order Of Hi-

bernians, told in their own voices, as they describe their early lives in Ire-land, immigrating to the Bronx, and how they keep their Irish roots alive from generation to generation through their charitable work with the Ancient Order of Hibernians,” said BronxNet director of Creative Services Marisa who produced the documentary to-gether with Director/Videographer Walter Garaicoa.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians in the Bronx documentary will be broad-cast on Friday, March 23 at noon; Sat-urday, March 24 at 6:45 p.m.; Sunday, March 25 at 5:57 p.m.; Monday, March 26 at 8:15 p.m.; Tuesday, March 27 at 12:30 p.m.; Wednesday, March 28 at

11:15 a.m.; and Thursday, March 29 at 9 a.m.

Bronx-Net programs six channels – 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 on the Verizon Fios sys-tem and six channels – 67, 68, 69, 70, 951 and 952 – on the Optimum system in the Bronx.

NYC Health + Hospitals today announced that 17 of its sites are now certifi ed Opi-oid Overdose Prevention Pro-grams. The certifi cation by the New York State Depart-ment of Health enables the 11 public hospitals and six large Gotham Health centers to routinely dispense nalox-one based on best practices, including overdose preven-tion training of patients and community members. Cer-tifi ed Opioid Overdose Pre-vention Programs are part of the health system’s efforts to transform care for New York-ers overcoming substance misuse.

“Simply stated, increasing naloxone availability saves lives,” said Mitchell Katz, MD, president and chief executive offi cer of NYC Health + Hos-pitals. “Making naloxone eas-ily accessible to our patients and members of the commu-nity who may have friends or family struggling with opioid use is an important part of

NYS certifi es 17 Opiod Overdose Prevention ProgramsNew York City’s response to the opioid epidemic. And our pursuit of State certifi cation at all these sites underscores how important a priority this is for us.”

Since the city launched HealingNYC in March 2017, NYC Health + Hospitals has distributed more than 2,100 naloxone kits and imple-mented the following initia-tives to make naloxone avail-able throughout the health system:

Emergency department protocols related to nonfa-tal overdoses have been stan-dardized in all 11 health sys-tem emergency departments. Free naloxone distribution to at-risk patients is one focus of these protocols.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in the South Bronx, an area with some of the high-est rates of overdose in the city, has expanded naloxone distribution to make naloxone kits more readily accessible to patients and family or friends

who may know someone ef-fected by opioid use. Naloxone kits are distributed broadly by the hospital’s pharmacy, beyond its substance use dis-order program, to include the emergency department and behavioral health and chemi-cal dependency services.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln also became the fi rst hospital to open a hospital-based naloxone kit distribu-tion center to make the drug available free of charge to the community at large, without the need for a prescription. Kits are available to anyone 12 and older, and everyone who receives a kit will also be trained by hospital staff, which takes approximately fi ve minutes. Training in-cludes how to identify some-one who is suffering from an overdose and how to properly administer the naloxone nasal spray.

Plans are underway to add similar naloxone kit distri-bution centers to the 10 other

public hospitals, as well.In addition, in 2014, New

York City established one of the country’s fi rst jail-based naloxone distribution pro-grams at the Rikers Island Visitor Center. Through this program, Correctional Health Services, a part of NYC Health + Hospitals, distributes nalox-one once a week to the visitors of inmates who are at high risk of overdose upon release from jail.

Annually, approximately 20,000 NYC Health + Hospitals patients suffer from opioid use disorder, of which approxi-mately 14,000 visit NYC Health + Hospitals emergency depart-ments. According to the NYC Department of Health, drug overdose deaths in 2016 in-creased 46 percent from 2015, and in 2016 more New Yorkers died from opioid-related over-dose than from car crashes and homicides combined. In 2017, New York City announced its goal to reduce opioid overdose deaths by 35 percent over the

next fi ve years.The State’s Opioid Over-

dose Prevention Program cer-tifi cation is valid for two years and requires monthly report-ing related to kit distribution.

Naloxone is used to prevent an overdose of opioids, includ-ing prescription painkillers, heroin and fentanyl by revers-ing the drug’s toxic effects. Administered by nasal spray, the medication is used when someone is showing signs of opioid overdose, which include when a person is unrespon-sive, breathing slows or stops, or lips and/or fi ngernails turn blue, pale, or gray.

NYC Health + Hospitals’ Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs in the Bronx in-clude: NYC Health + Hospi-tals/Lincoln; NYC Health + Hospitals//Jacobi; NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx; NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health, Morrisania; and NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health, Belvis.

RHYMESWITH CRAZY

Lenore Skenazy

“I always thought if I lost a child, I wouldn’t be able to stop screaming,” Liz Alder-man, a Westchester mom of three, told journalist Mark Miller. But then one of her children, Peter, age 25, was killed in the 9-11 terror at-tacks — he was on the 106th fl oor of the North Tower — and she found out what really happens.

At least to her.“The reality is, you can’t

keep screaming — your throat closes up; you give yourself a headache. You have two choices — either you kill yourself literally or fi guratively, by crawling into bed and never getting out, or you put one foot in front of the other.”

Keep doing that and you can end up someplace com-pletely new. And meaning-ful.

It is this surprising jour-ney that Miller illuminates in his new book, “Jolt: Sto-ries of Trauma and Transfor-mation.” Time and again he fi nds people who suffered not Post Traumatic Stress Dis-order — but it’s sort of good-witch twin: Post Traumatic Growth, or “PTG.”

PTG is not a Pollyanna-ish way of looking at misery. People who grow in new and important ways after trauma suffer, too. It’s not that the pain gets replaced by meaning. It’s that along with the pain there is meaning, often great meaning, and some com-fort in it.

For Alderman and her hus-band, Steve, it was stumbling toward a way to make Peter’s life, and death, have a posi-tive impact on the world, the way Peter had. Eventually the couple co-founded the Peter C. Alderman Foundation, which provides short-term therapy to others impacted by trauma, even halfway around the world, in Africa, Cambodia, and Haiti. People who have lived through war, natural disasters, and sometimes the murder of their families in front of their eyes get the help they need to get back to functioning.

Returning to “normal life” after a trauma is what we deem resilience. But Miller’s book is about something else: coming back from trauma with such an expanded sense of empathy and purpose that simply going to back to everyday existence is not enough.

What happens is this: “We

walk around with a self-con-structed sense of our world,” Miller writes. This includes who we are, what matters to us, and how we expect to spend our time. But when a trauma hits, it can “blow these self-constructed world views to pieces.” Priorities get questioned. For instance, one man Miller interviewed, New York Times writer Andrew Revkin, suffered a stroke that temporarily paralyzed his right hand. When he got better, his old hobby — making music — didn’t seem like it could wait anymore. After all, the ability to play gui-tar and mandolin had just al-most been taken from him. So

since his stroke, he has released an album and now plays gigs around the city.

The mother of child mur-dered by a serial killer found an even less predictable pur-pose. A self-described “country bumpkin with a high-school education,” Marietta Jaeger has devoted much of her life since the crime to fi ghting for an end to the death penalty. This drive was born after she had a revela-tion of faith to forgive the killer.

Clearly, no one can tell where trauma may lead. But the idea that it could lead someplace good is not a new one. In reli-gion, the path from pain to en-lightenment is a common one. In mythology, it is called “the hero’s journey, in which heroes achieve great good as a result of great suffering,” Miller writes. You can see this journey again and again in the bible, and on the screen. “These heroic strug-gles resonate deeply in Ameri-can culture,” writes Miller, “es-pecially when there is a happy ending (think Star Wars!).”

So why do we associate post-traumatic existence only with disorder and never-ending pain? My guess is it’s because as much as we love the hero’s jour-

ney, we have been taught a much grimmer narrative about real-life trauma: That no one ever recovers. Even to suggest that they might is considered insensitive.

That’s why Miller takes pains to explain that not ev-eryone “grows” or should be expected to. He is very sensi-tive to ongoing sorrow, and doesn’t want to exacerbate anyone’s misery by suggest-ing that the “best” trauma victims march forth with a huge and wonderful new purpose. Not at all. No one says trauma victims must grow. And no one knows who will and who won’t.

All we know is that trauma is part of the hu-man condition. No one gets through life without some-thing (or, sigh, many things) shaking them to the core and forcing a reckoning. The po-tential for growth has been “hiding in plain sight,” says Miller.

It’s time for hope to come out of the shadows.

tried to leave his store with

a bag of clothing and Sol suf-

forearm and a dislocated right

shoulder during a confronta-

Square store, Sol recalled how

the shoplifter had on previous

occasions been a paying cus-

tomer. “He spent money here,

it’s not like I never saw him

before,” Sol said. “He came

around two or three months

ago and bought a pair of

shoes.”But the Sunday of the as-

and tried to leave, according

to Sol. “I told him, ‘No, you can’t

he “went to the ground with

him. I hurt my shoulder. He

took a big bite in my arm. I was

Simple steps for business success in the bronx

BY STEVEN GLOSSERThe Pelham Parkway

Neighborhood Association held its monthly meeting at Bronx House on Tuesday March 13 before a packed crowd of over 50 commu-nity residents. Our special guests were from the NYPD., our new Neighborhood Coor-dination Offi cers or NCO’s for short, for each sector of our community. Before each NCO offi cer spoke there were announcements from our elected offi cials.

The Safety Meeting/Town Hall hosted by our new Coun-cilman Mark Gjonaj will now be on Friday, April 13 at P.S. 105 starting at 6 p.m. This meeting was previously scheduled in March but was postponed due to inclement weather.

The Pelham Parkway Neighborhood Association is proud to announce our 10th Anniversary Fundraiser. Please join us as we honor various individuals who help make our community great. The event will take place at Maestro’s Caterers on Thurs-

day April 26 from 6 to 10 p.m. Join us for an evening of fun and a show of support for our honorees who have done so much for our neighborhood. If you are interested in at-tending please email us @[email protected] or call us at (718) 863-8552.

The way the NCO program works is like this - the 49th Precinct has been split into three sectors that are more indicative of the neighbor-hood that the offi cers will be patrolling. Each sector will be assigned two NCO offi cers and two offi cers to each NY-CHA housing development in the 49th Precinct of which there are four. There will be one NCO sergeant oversee-ing the offi cers. The primary responsibilities of the NCOs will be to address quality of life complaints, noise com-plaints, issue vehicle sum-mons for cars blocking drive-ways, panhandling, assist in planning of crime reduction strategies, conduct street enforcement, stress commu-nity involvement. Like the ‘beat’cop of years ago these

offi cers want to know each and everyone in their sec-tor and want the community to feel comfortable engaging with them. Many of the NCO offi cers are local born and bred and in fact grew up in the sector they are respon-sible for.They all stress com-munity involvement is vi-tal for this program to work correctly. Many of residents attending the meeting in-formed the offi cers of ‘trou-ble spots’ in their sector and each offi cer was attentive and will follow up on each issue. There are instances where two sectors of offi cers will partner up and work to-gether to resolve a problem.

This program will bridge gaps,build trust,and create an open dialogue with the community. All the NCO of-fi cers have promised there

will be strict confi dential-ity in anything that is told to them in confi dence. The com-munity are the eyes and ears of the NCO offi cers and they are solely responsible for all the cases that they are work-ing on from start to fi nish. Even if you may think the is-sue is minor please contact them before it snowballs into something major.

Here is a breakdown of each neighborhood and each sector with your NCO offi -cer:

Sector A, which is Van Nest, Morris Park, Hutchinson Metro Center and surround-ing medical facilities, the NCO offi cers are PO Janine Varela, cell (917) 244-9372 and email [email protected]., PO Giuseppe Cannova cell (917) 767-8192 and email [email protected].

Sector B, is Pelham Park-way, Bronxdale (Bronx Park East) and Williamsbridge. The NCO offi cers are PO Butrint Mujaj cell (929) 364-8600 and email [email protected]., PO Daisy San-chez cell (929) 273-9685.

Sector C, which is Aller-ton, Pelham Gardens and La-conia, the NCO offi cers are PO Jonya McDowell, cell (917) 834-8170 and email [email protected]., PO Greg-ory Hernandez cell (929) 364-6498 and email [email protected].

Housing: NCO offi cers are PO Juan Sanchez cell (929) 364-6498, and email [email protected] and PO James Graham cell (929) 287-6498, and [email protected].

Jack Sauter pens travel Odyssey

Jack Sauter’s new book is titled “All the Points of the Compass” and that it is. It will keep you enthralled and stir up some wander lust.

When Jack Sauter left the comfort of his Bronx home to join the navy, he hoped to sail the oceans of the world but never dreamed that it would be-gin a travel odyssey that would last 60 years.

His initial sailing aboard the carriers USS Midway and the USS Lake Champlain took him across more than one ocean and to over twenty na-tions when he served in the Ko-rean War but that was only a beginning.

In the meantime, his sweet-heart back in Throggs Neck was anxiously awaiting his return and when he did come home, wedding plans were made and the happy couple was soon wed. It wasn’t long before the plans were made for a protracted voyage across the Atlantic. It included shipping their car to Europe and then spending seven weeks travel-ing the back roads of the conti-nent in their 1957 Dodge.

Since they only had a short time to spend in Italy, they re-turned the following year for another fi ve week odyssey in that country and, after sixty years, they haven’t stopped traveling yet other than to

raise their three children who joined Jack and Marianne on many of their trips.

Whether sleeping in a tree house in Africa or traveling through China when private cars were a rarity, many ad-ventures awaited the Sauters as they leisurely traversed the back roads of the world.

There was the time armed Gypsy pirates took over their train to Prague and then the close encounter when their ship was berthed adjacent to the Achile Lauro in Tunis in October of 1985 which, later that same day, was boarded by the PLO and one passenger killed and his body thrown overboard.

Then there was the time when their car with all their possessions was broken into in Italy or the time in 1971 when their brakes failed on the back roads of Normandy while on their way from Limoges to Lourdes enroute to Spain in

their 1969 Chrysler New Yorker which they brought over for this trip with their three chil-dren.

Excitement and adventure came far more frequently than in the planned tour-guided excursions so popular today. Many of their trips took place before credit cards and when borders not only meant pass-port checks but also currency changes. The convenient euro was a long way from being cre-ated and they’re one couple who can certainly appreciate the change.

One trip took them along the by-ways and highways of Europe with their three chil-dren for nine weeks. I’ve trav-eled widely with my children but still can’t imagine navigat-ing the back roads of unknown countries with some unfamil-iar languages with two teenag-ers and one pre-teen.

Caught in Europe after the 9-ll attack was just another

cruel turn of fate interrupting what should have been a pleas-ant vacation.

Their adventures by auto, train and ocean liners will bring back many memories for seasoned travelers. Just the names of some of the ocean-going vessels will enkindle fl ames of remembrance or long-ing for many.

Among the many ships that carried them around the world were the Queen Mary, Oceanic, Queen Mary II, Michaelangelo, QE II, and so many others. The less traveled might re-think their quiet lives and consider

the voyage of a lifetime. Some trips, however, can

never be made again now that steam trains, for the most part, have been retired and many of the storied cruise ships exist only in old scrapbooks or fast fading memories.

This book is not a chronol-ogy but rather a fascinating col-lection of travel stories and can be ordered from J and M Pub-lishing at 235 Robby Lane, New Hyde Park, New York 11040 and the cost, including postage, is only $28.95.

Be sure to ask for an in-scribed copy.

TOP DRIVER DISTRACTIONSADVERTORIAL

Using mobile phonesLeading the list of the

top distractions behind the wheel are mobile phones. Phones now do more than just place calls, and driv-ers often cannot pull away from their phones, even when driving. According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, studies have shown that driving performance is lowered and the level of distraction is higher for drivers who are heavily engaged in cell

phone conversations. The use of a hands-free device does not lower distraction levels. The percentage of vehicle crashes and near-crashes attributed to di-aling is nearly identical to the number associated with talking or listening.

DaydreamingMany people will admit

to daydreaming behind the wheel or looking at a person or object outside of the car for too long. Per-

haps they’re checking out a house in a new neighbor-hood or thought they saw someone they knew on the street corner. It can be easy to veer into the direction your eyes are focused, caus-ing an accident. In addition to trying to stay focused on the road, some drivers pre-fer the help of lane depar-ture warning systems.

EatingThose who haven’t quite

mastered walking and

chewing gum at the same time may want to avoid eating while driving. The majority of foods require a person’s hands to be taken off of the wheel and their eyes to be diverted from the road. Reaching in the back seat to share some French fries with the kids is also distracting.

Try to eat meals before getting in the car. For those who must snack while en route, take a moment to pull over at

a rest area and spend 10minutes snacking there before resuming thetrip.

ReadingGlancing at an adver-

tisement, updating a Fa-cebook status or readinga book are all activities that should be avoided when driving. Even pour-ing over a traffic map or consulting the digital display of a GPS system can be distracting.

“She was the core of our family, a person that everyone should have in their lives,” said Domenick. “She did everything for everyone,” he added.

The Muccio family is now left with

stall an elevator unless they could prove it was technically not possible or probable.

“The subways system is a vital part of New York City’s transportation sys-tem,” continued Berman. “When a sta-tion undergoes a complete renovation, MTA and NYCTA must comply with its obligations to make such stations accessible to the maximum extent fea-sible.”

The FTA determined NYCTA’s analysis of the station was insuffi cient and there was no excuse not to install one or even two elevators at Middle-town Road.

The MTA and NYCTA also asked the FTA for reimbursement for the more than $27 million renovation after completing the work without the eleva-tors, according to the lawsuit.

“The MTA and New York City Transit are committed to adding and maintaining accessibility for the cen-tury-old subway system, and working hard to do so by investing more than a billion dollars over the current fi ve-year capital plan alone,” said the MTA

in a statement. “While we can’t comment on spe-

cifi c litigation, the pending civil law-suit that the US Attorney joined is nearly two years old and concerns a single station,” continued the MTA statement. “We are defending the case on the merits.”

The Middletown Road station was completed alongside renovations at the Castle Hill Avenue IRT 6 train sta-tion, which also did not include instal-lation of an elevator.

“This court case has raised the alarm and got the community’s atten-tion to look at the other stations being renovated or were renovated,” said Community Board 10 district man-ager, Matt Cruz.

Cruz said he also had been look-ing into whether the 6 train stations at Westchester Square and Castle Hill are required to have ADA compliance, as well.

There are 118 stations citywide that are ADA-accessible with 25 more stations being made accessible under funding already approved, according to an MTA spokesperson.

a huge unanswered question: who was the driver that is responsible for tearing apart their family.

Francesca isn’t able to recall much from the accident, but remem-bers the car as a dark, SUV similar to her mother’s.

According to Domenick, several social media postings claim the same driver had dangerously cut around them just moments before the acci-dent, helping to reconstruct the ve-hicle’s movements prior to the acci-dent.

He believes this information will

help the police catch the driver.“That person broke a family, they

should turn themselves in,” said Do-menick. “That’s what my girls want to know, who killed their mother,” he added.

Michelle is survived by her hus-band of 22 years, Christopher; her three daughters Nikki Marie, Fran-cesca and Daniella Muccio.

A GoFundMe page was created to defer the costs of her funeral and has raised over $12,000 in just over two days from all of the people and lives Michelle touched.Site of the hit and run accident that killed Michelle Muccio By Edwin Soto
