of volunteer community members and civic organizations that beautify Riverdale streets and aim to grow the neighborhood economically. “Being a strong neighbor also means welcoming institutions and partners that are committed to doing their work well and being a part of the community in a constructive way,” Quart said. “And I’m seeing that here.” Westhab and architects followed a purposebuilt shelter model, meaning the space is designed to serve those experiencing homelessness. Nightingale told The Press in July reducing homelessness starts with a dignified shelter system. He said again at the ceremony that the better the environment Westhab creates, the better the building’s culture is, and the more motivated clients will be to move onto
The New York City Council announced the allocation of roughly $280,000 toward training the next generation of young journalists, further funding a program that has already helped one Marble Hill School launch its first student newsroom. The investment for fiscal year 2027 will expand Journalism for All, run by nonprofit NYC Youth Journalism Coalition, which helps schools launch credit-bearing journalism courses and student publications. It also marks the second round of funding for United Charter High School for the Humanities, located on the John F. Kennedy Campus at 99 Terrace View Ave. in Marble Hill, which was part of a pilot cohort when Journalism for All kicked off last year. The investment includes $150,000 for all 30 schools that participated in the pilot, with each receiving a $5,000 grant. A sum of $90,000 will also go to New York City Public Schools and $40,000 was allocated for The Bell, the nonprofit that houses the NYC Youth Journalism Coalition. Council member Eric Dinowitz, a former teacher who chairs the council’s education committee, said journalism offers students an opportunity to demonstrate skills that cannot always be captured on a standardized test. “I’ve long spoken about how our kids are more than just a test score, and initiatives like this really allow our students to do the rigorous work we expect of all of our students,” Dinowitz said, pointing to the program as a chance to investigate complex subjects, consider different perspectives and produce work students can be proud of. The investment comes as journalism offerings are expanding notably across the school system. During the 2025-26 school year, 135 schools offered at least one journalism course — up 50% from the previous year. A reported 5,685 students completed those courses — a 76% jump from the previous year, according to data from the New York City Department of

Van Cortlandt Rapid Rehousing Center, a men’s transitional housing shelter on West 262nd Street and Broadway that will house up to 130 clients, is open and accepting clients after three years in the making. The news was announced by Westhab, the New York City and Westchester-based nonprofit that runs the site, at a Sept. 25 ceremony attended by staff, real estate and architectural partners, Westhab board members, and Bronx Community Board 8 members, among others. Dozens gathered in the shelter’s dining room as speakers lauded combined efforts, and emphasized Westhab’s willingness to be a good neighbor and part of the community.

The shelter will provide job training, counseling, mental health services and life-skills workshops. Staff will also help connect clients with healthcare, substance abuse treatment and resources to help them earn their GED. Westhab President and CEO Richard Nightingale told The Press ahead of ceremony remarks Westhab was eager to accept its first clients at the site and start serving New Yorkers. “We’re really proud of the work we do,” Nightingale said. “We can’t wait to show the community that, and we’ll be as communicative as possible.” David Quart, a Riverdale Main Streets Alliance board member, said at the ceremony the alliance was looking forward to continuing a positive relationship with Westhab.

Riverdale-area business owners learned how to reverse an opioid overdose at a naloxone training hosted Sept. 22 by the Kingsbridge-Riverdale-Van Cortlandt Development Corporation. The training took place at Home BX Steakhouse, located at 224 W. 238th St., and was part of an effort to prepare local merchants for emergencies — some of which could be fatal without proper intervention. Naloxone is a life-saving medication capable of rapidly reversing an opioid overdose by blocking opioid receptors in the brain. It restores normal breathing within minutes if a person is suffering from an overdose caused by opiates, including prescription painkillers and fentanyl, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is also commonly known as Narcan, which is one brand of readyto-use naloxone, administered as a nasal spray. Lillian Neuman, director of community outreach and prevention education at St. Vincent’s Westchester, led the session. Neuman has spent about 30 years helping people get sober. She became a New York state-registered trainer in 2015 and has since trained about 7,000 people in life-saving knowledge, including at TRAINING on page A4

Crop Diversity Day 2026 was hosted by the New York Botanical Garden on Sept 22., with guests taking a tour of the garden’s Edible Academy at the end.
The New York Botanical Garden gathered leading researchers and diet-science experts for Crop Diversity Day 2026 on Sept. 22, part of the garden’s Climate Week NYC programming. The event explored how global crop diversity can contribute to healthier diets and a more dependable food supply with the goal of adapting to the agricultural impacts of a changing climate. The program celebrated the launch of the World Food Map, marked the first anniversary of the Global Conservation Consortium for Food Plants and shared findings on underutilized food species. The garden’s president, Jennifer Bernstein, opened the day with the notion that food belongs at the heart of conversations about the planet’s future. “Crop Diversity Day brings us together around a vital idea,” she said, adding that the diversity of plants people grow, eat and conserve is key to building more resilient food systems and adapting to climate change. Bernstein tied the global discussion to the botanical garden’s work closer to home, pointing to initiatives like Bronx Green-Up, the garden’s community gardening outreach program, and the garden’s Edible Academy, which teaches children and families about food and plants. “The relationship between people and plants, the plants that they eat, is of course foundational, whether you’re in the Bronx or anywhere else in the world,” she said. Crop Trust, an international nonprofit based in Germany working to ensure global food security through conservation and advocacy, was among event’s central organizers, with its executive director Stefan Schmitz taking to the microphone in celebration of the anniversary of the Global Conservation Consortium for Food Plants.

The bill is an authorization of the same expansion passed in the state budget in the spring, necessary to implement the expansion on a city level, The Press previously reported.

What Riverdale should know about Bronx Legionnaires’ cluster By Olivia Young oyoung@riverdalepress.com A second person died in connection with the Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in the South Bronx, as announced by the city Sept. 17. The outbreak has sparked discussion throughout the borough, and while there is currently little threat to the northwest Bronx, it is important for residents to understand the disease. There is currently no indication that there is a community cluster in Bronx Community District 8 — which includes Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill, Van Cortlandt Village and part of Kingsbridge Heights — a spokesperson from the city’s department of health and mental hygiene told The Press. There are also no open building investigations, according to the spokesperson. Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia, or lung infection, caused by Legionella bacteria that grow in warm water, according to the health department. It is important to note that it is not contagious between individuals. It is also not spread by drinking water, cooking or using air conditioning. As of Sept. 28 at 4:45 p.m., 23 people tested positive for Legionnaires’ disease in the South Bronx, the health department said. Sixteen have been discharged from the hospital, two were still hospitalized, three were not hospitalized and two had died, according to the health department. The Upper East Side outbreak earlier this year led to 82 cases and five deaths, according to a July 21 report from the department, bringing the 2026 total to 105 cases and seven deaths. People who breathe in mist that contains the bacteria can get sick, but most people exposed to the bacteria do not develop Legionnaires’, the health department said. Illness usually occurs after high or repeated exposure. Common sources of exposure are cooling towers, hot

The city sees between 200 and 600 Legionnaires’ cases each year, according to the city’s health department. tubs and spray fountains, according to the health department. The illness causes flulike symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches and cough, according to the health department. Some may also experience headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, confusion or diarrhea, the department said. People who are at an increased risk include people aged 50 and older, smokers or vapers, those with diabetes or chronic heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, and those with medical conditions that weaken their immune systems, the department said. The health department also said there is no vaccine or medicine to prevent Legionnaires’, but it can be treated with antibiotics. Maintaining water systems where Legionella might grow is the best way to prevent the disease, according
to the department. A week before the second South Bronx death, the health department announced it was launching an investigation into a likely community cluster of Legionnaires’ disease in parts of Melrose and Morrisania, citing 10 cooling towers in the area that were found to have traces of living or dead Legionella bacteria, including at Yankee Stadium. The state department of health’s Cooling Tower Registr y Weekly Extract Map — which provides the location, Legionella sampling results and operational status of cooling towers — previously showed five sites with cooling towers in the northwest Bronx. However, the department said some city cooling towers were erroneously included in the database and were being removed. The New York City portion of the map remained largely blank by press time, and the
department did not respond to clarify how many towers were in the area by press time. The Press confirmed several cooling tower sites in the area, including The Conser vative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale, Lehman College and apartment building River Terrace. Zef Redzaj, a handyman at River Terrace, explained that sites are required to test monthly, and that third-party chemical companies come in to take a sample. River Terrace was last tested Sept. 8, he said. Lehman College’s communication team said the school’s tower is in full compliance with rules and regulations for maintenance, testing and cleaning. A spokesperson for the city’s department of health and mental hygiene told The Press aside from the monthly testing, the department does unannounced, routine
inspections for cooling tower systems citywide. Legionella bacteria is naturally occurring in our environment, the spokesperson said, and grows in stagnant, warm water. The city sees between 200 to 600 cases of Legionnaires’ each year. Last year, a Central Harlem cluster led to 114 cases and seven deaths, according to an Aug. 9, 2025 release from the department. The year before that, there were 258 cases, according to department data. “At the health department, we do ever ything we can to prevent Legionnaires’ disease clusters from happening in the first place — and to respond urgently when they do,” the spokesperson said in a statement to The Press. Dr. Gregor y Weston, an associate hospital epidemiologist at Montefiore Medical Center, told The Press that since the symptoms for Le-
gionnaires’ disease are similar to a lot of other diseases, it can be difficult to pinpoint if an illness is Legionnaires’. Any person with symptoms that are affecting their daily living — shortness of breath, chest pain, weakness, diarrhea — or who is simply concerned, should seek care, Weston said. This could mean calling their physician for advice, or visiting urgent care if symptoms are severe. Considering how many people live on a city block, Weston said, the number of those who are a part of the South Bronx outbreak is relatively small. Still, awareness is crucial. “It’s not that there’s a huge risk for ever ybody, but there is a risk that is important to know about,” Weston said. “If they start to feel sick, it’s important to see a doctor.”

Van Cortlandt Rapid Rehousing Center accepting clients CONTINUED from page A1 permanent housing and employment. Amenities include a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Van Cortlandt Park, a recreation room with foosball, air hockey and ping-pong tables, a computer room, a library and several other multipurpose rooms. There is also an outdoor terrace on the rooftop with picnic tables and greenery. There is also 24/7 security and Westhab doesn’t allow people to congregate or loiter in front of its buildings, according to the nonprofit. Westhab and the city’s department of social services are also building a community advisory board, which is a group of residents and neighborhood leaders that will meet periodically to provide feedback on the shelter. A few Bronx Community Board 8 members included on this board are district manager Farrah Rubin, vice chair Bob Bender, public safety committee member Debra Harris and public safety committee vice chair Laura Spalter. Community members have voiced
opposition to the shelter since it was proposed in 2021 by a different nonprofit, citing public safety concerns. Specifically, concerns arose around the screening process for clients. Westhab bought the site in December 2023 for $4.75 million, and community discussions about the shelter were renewed several times this year as its completion date neared. After reports in recent months of incidents near the park’s northern edge, including police reports of the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in June, residents worried an influx of single men at the shelter could lead to an increase in crime. Nightingale disagreed with this belief when speaking to The Press in July, explaining that in an average Westhab shelter, half of the residents are employed and just unable to keep up with the cost of living. Clients with severe mental illnesses — defined by the city as a depression, schizophrenia or bipolar diagnosis that substantially interferes with major life activities — would go to a specialized mental health shelter, not Westhab, he said.
A spokesperson for the city’s department of social services told The Press placements are determined based on the needs of the individual. In accordance with the city’s right to shelter mandate, no one is denied housing, but the department complies with the state’s laws for residency restrictions. Homelessness shouldn’t be conflated with criminality, the spokesperson said, and the department hopes the community will see this shelter not as a potential danger, but as a place for neighbors to get back on their feet. The department serves mostly New Yorkers who are just in a tough spot and need a temporary place to stay, the spokesperson said. Despite the contentious history between the community and the idea of a men’s shelter, Bronx Community Board 8 members on the community advisory board were cautiously optimistic at the opening ceremony. Bender said he wants the shelter to be a success, and he believes it’s good for the community and for the clients who are able to obtain permanent housing.

From right to left: Laura Spalter, Bob Bender and Farrah Rubin are among the Bronx Community Board 8 members on the shelter’s community advisory board. After touring the building and talking with Westhab, Rubin said, the board members were encouraged to know the nonprofit wants to be an asset to the community. She said she and others are planning to work with Westhab in fulfilling that goal.
Maintaining communication with residents to address any issues that may arise will be key, Spalter said. “I see our role as liaison to the community,” Spalter said. “I’m hoping for the best. Time will tell.”
New York City expands student journalism initiative CONTINUED from page A1 Education. The goal of the student journalism initiative, said CJ Sanchez, the youth journalism coalition’s director, is not simply to create more extracurricular newspapers. Journalism for All is designed with a full-year high school curriculum developed with the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, and training for educators who may have little or no professional journalism experience. Participating schools then receive support building student publications, along with access to internships and startup money for equipment, reporting trips and other newsroom expenses. Making journalism part of the school day, Sanchez said, also opens the opportunity to students who may be unable to stay for an after-school club because they work or care for younger siblings. Sanchez said journalism programs can often be difficult to sustain because of funding constraints. But creating an actual course, Sanchez said, gives the program “staying power” when schools are making budget decisions.
At United Charter High School for the Humanities, journalism teacher Aaron Pinnix helped students publish the school’s first newspaper last school year. Students wrote articles, conducted interviews and took photographs for the publication, called “Highlighting Unique Minds,” a play on the school’s humanities focus. The first issue, published in June, featured stories like “Preparing for Regents Exams: Why Improvement Matters” and “When Help Becomes Harm: AI’s Impact on Student Learning.” This year, Pinnix hopes to publish four issues and begin developing a student video news program. “It’s giving the whole school a feeling of community,” Pinnix said. Students pitch stories and work through reporting, writing, revision and photography while learning concepts including verification, independence, accountability and bias. Principal Lillian Lopez said the program fits the school’s effort to expose students to careers they may not otherwise encounter while encouraging them to become more inquisitive about their surroundings. She also sees value beyond students who eventually enter journalism.
“We’re functioning in this world where news kind of flows super quickly, and they’re on all these social media platforms, and they’re getting this stream of media all the time,” Lopez said. She wants students to understand both how reporting works and “the ethics behind journalism.” The investment also arrives as New York State moves toward a new graduation system built around its “Portrait of a Graduate” framework, which will replace Regents exams as a graduation requirement. Instead of passing a set of tests, students will be required to demonstrate skills such as critical thinking, communication and creativity through projects, internships and other hands-on work. Each district will decide how to put the framework into practice, and the city has not yet announced implementation plans. However, supporters of Journalism for All argue reporting naturally requires many of those skills. Dinowitz said that shift could change what schools prioritize. “Whatever gets assessed gets investment,” he said, arguing that schools have historically been incentivized to devote resources to Regents preparation.

The New York City Council invested roughly $280,000 in helping train student journalists in city schools. If the system begins putting greater weight on portfolio-based work, journalism, speech and debate, and arts programs, he said, schools may have more reason to invest in them. For Sanchez, the council funding represents another step toward making those op-
portunities less dependent on which high school a student happens to attend. “It took teachers standing up and saying ‘I want this in my school,’” Sanchez said. “It took students demanding this and making clear that this was something that they are seeking and something that they deserve.”

events like this one, she said. “I want everyone to have a kit. I really do, because you can save someone’s life, and it’s so easy,” Neuman said. Businesses are a natural fit for the training because they serve the public every day, according to Neuman. “Anywhere the public is, I want them to have knowledge,” she said. “If you didn’t have any customers and you were here by yourself, you don’t need a kit.” Laura Levine-Pinedo, executive director of KRVC, said the training was especially important for the neighborhood’s restaurants and bars. Several more merchants wanted to attend the training but could not, Levine-Pinedo said, and KRVC hopes to reach them in the future. “I think it’s very important for our hospitality and nightlife industry to be prepared in an emergency,” Levine-Pinedo said. “It’s just the reality of it. People are drinking, and they may have these addictions.” Norman Martinez, owner of Home BX Steakhouse and a member of the KRVC board, hosted the event and also took the training himself. “I think everybody should know how to use Narcan,” Martinez said. “A lot of peo-
ple are scared to do something, because in the city you can get sued for everything. It’s free to use, and you can use it. That’s what’s important.” Neuman addressed some of the common fears people have about administering the life-saving medication at the training. “If they’re having a heart attack, it’s not going to hurt them,” Neuman said. “And if there’s opiates on board, it will save their life.” She also addressed the fear of being sued. “People say to me, ‘Lil, am I protected?’ The answer is yes,” Neuman said. “The New York Public Health Law protects you when you’re using Narcan to save someone’s life.” New York Public Health Law provides liability protection for qualifying naloxone responders acting reasonably and in good faith. Separately, the state’s 911 Good Samaritan Law provides certain protections against criminal charges and prosecution when someone seeks emergency assistance during an overdose. The most important sign of an overdose is unresponsiveness, Neuman said. Other signs include bluish lips and fingernails, gurgling breathing and pinpoint
pupils. “If they’re unconscious, I’m getting this,” she said, holding up a kit. Neuman advised bystanders to point to a specific person and tell them to call 911, then administer the nasal spray. “You peel the back, you place it, and you plunge it,” she said. The person should then be rolled onto their side because reversal can cause vomiting. If there is no response in two to three minutes, a second dose should go in the other nostril. With fentanyl in the drug supply, two doses may not be enough. “Sometimes six, sometimes eight,” Neuman said. “You don’t know how much they’re taking.” Because naloxone lasts only 30 to 90 minutes, a person can overdose again after waking up, which is why calling for emergency responders is essential. Neuman urged businesses to install naloxone boxes and encouraged people to carry kits openly. “It’s not a secret. It’s not illegal,” she said. “I take mine on the plane with me.” Shame still keeps many people away from training, Neuman said, because they fear others will assume someone in their home uses drugs. But overdoses can happen to anyone, including young people

Several merchants from around the Riverdale area attended a training session where they learned how to use naloxone. who take counterfeit pills unknowingly. “Your kid could be at a party and someone gives them something,” Neuman said. “Why not have it?” Neuman also runs a support group for families affected by addiction and said too few people attend.
“They’re suffering in silence,” she said. “That’s why I want you to go out and talk about it, so that you break the silence and the stigma. You have to be my ambassador. To the world, we’re only one person. But to one person, you are their world, and that’s why I do this.”
NY Botanical Garden hosts climate week event CONTINUED from page A1 Launched at the garden last year, the consortium brings botanical gardens and gene banks — facilities that preserve seeds and other plant genetic material to protect crop diversity for future research, breeding and food production — together to protect the world’s food plants. Schmitz likened the launch to a wedding between the two. Gene banks and botanical gardens hold plant genetic resources that Schmitz called “one of the most precious resources we have on Earth.” Protecting crop wild relatives and underutilized species, he said, can help agriculture respond to climate change, pests and diseases. Crop wild relatives are the wild cousins of domesticated crops and often carry traits such as drought or disease resistance, while neglected and underutilized species are food plants that matter locally but get little research or commercial attention. More than 26,000 plant species are used as food worldwide, according to Mauricio Diazgranados, the botanical garden’s chief science officer and dean of science, but only a small share are widely cultivated. Many cultivated plants, their wild relatives and wild edible species face growing societal, agricultural and environmental threats. In its first year, Diazgranados said, the consortium established its steering committee, began publishing a global food plant checklist and launched projects involving wild cassava and cowpeas. Colin Khoury, the Crop Trust’s global
conservation lead, spoke to the scale of the challenge. Thousands of botanical gardens safeguard more than 100,000 plant species and curate more than 150 million herbarium specimens, he said. Nearly 1,000 gene banks maintain more than 6 million samples of crops and their wild relatives and distribute more than half a million samples annually to scientists and breeders. “Yet these efforts are really not nearly sufficient,” Khoury said, adding that most plant species, including many food plants, are not conserved in either system. By working together, he said, gene banks can gain botanical knowledge and partners, while botanical gardens can gain conservation infrastructure and a more direct role in crop research and breeding. Khoury pointed to Texas tapioca, a rare, endangered wild relative of cassava found only in Texas and northern Mexico. It carries a trait that keeps roots from deteriorating after harvest, which he said could help cassava last two to three times as long. Also in the spotlight was the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture — a 2001 agreement under the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization that lets member countries share seeds and genetic material of key crops for research and breeding, and recognizes farmers’ rights as stewards of crop diversity. Its deputy secretary, Álvaro Toledo, illustrated the effects of climate change, recalling a conversation with a Mediterranean olive oil producer. Heat had damaged olive flowers during
blooming, Toledo was told, and while temperatures reduced existing pest problems, storms could still threaten the crop before harvest. “It’s not only one impact of climate change,” Toledo said. “It’s several impacts of climate change in the same harvesting season.” New plant varieties with traits adapted to changing conditions are one potential response, he said, but only a handful of plant breeders worldwide work on olives. Those breeders need access to genetic diversity, quality data and policies that facilitate research, he said. The day’s centerpiece was the launch of the World Food Map, which co-lead Anna Herforth called “an atlas of edible biodiversity.” The map grew out of more than 1,000 interviews across 140 countries by the Global Diet Quality Project, a research effort Herforth leads, which produced a systematic list of commonly consumed foods. It now covers 165 countries, 1,700 foods and 905 species. Users can find local names for species, where they are eaten, where they can grow under current and future climates, and whether they are held in gene banks or botanical gardens. Herforth used the cowpea to demonstrate the importance of understanding how individual species are named and consumed differently across cultures. The same species is eaten as dried seed called a pulse across much of Africa and as a leafy green in East and Southern Africa. “If we can’t talk about them, how can we conserve them?” Herforth asked. The data also pointed to dietary gaps.
Michelle Mullen
As part of Crop Diversity Day 2026, 12 attendees told stories of how food crops intersect with cultural traditions. Herforth said low dietary diversity is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, while diverse plant foods in many middle-income countries are being displaced by ultra-processed foods made from a relatively small number of species. The goal, she said, is to connect plant diversity with gaps in diets, offering “a menu of foods that are culturally resonant, nutritionally rich and climate resilient.” World Food Map co-lead Chris Vogliano, a registered dietitian and postdoctoral researcher at Wageningen University & Research, a Dutch university known for agriculture and food science and another of the event’s organizers, explained how the map could also help food systems prepare for climate change.
In Ethiopia, growing zones for Ethiopian kale, a commonly consumed dark leafy vegetable, are projected to shrink as the climate changes, while areas suitable for jute mallow, another culturally familiar green, are expected to expand, according to the map. Vogliano also previewed findings from a study analyzing 21 global priority food lists that identified 683 “opportunity crops,” which are being added to the map. The current phase of the World Food Map project is ending, but Herforth and Vogliano envision it continuing to grow, with tens of thousands of edible plant species still waiting to be added.

Residents who took the bus downtown got off a few blocks away and walked to meet up with other ralliers. Bella Spektor, middle, said she feels “the whole world is blaming Israel, and they don’t see that Israel is trying to survive.” Jackie Binstock, left, said that she doesn’t necessarily agree with Netanyahu’s policies, but supports Israel as a Jewish state, and feels international sympathy was short-lived after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. “It’s important to stand up against antisemitism, to stand up for Israel, because if we don’t do it, nobody else is going to,” she said.
Riverdalians join hundreds in UN protest against antisemitism By Olivia Young oyoung@riverdalepress.com Riverdale residents joined the ranks as hundreds of people gathered near the United Nations headquarters Sept. 23 in a rally organizers hoped would urge world leaders to put a stop to rising antisemitism. Most of the local participants traveled together by bus from the Riverdale Y to Manhattan, where attendees gathered at East 47th Street between 1st and 2nd avenues during the United Nations’ General Assembly High-Level Week, the annual gathering of global leaders. Starting at 5 p.m., ralliers bore signs that read “End global antisemitism now,” “Enough is enough” and “The world must act,” while listening to speakers and music performances. Among the speakers were executives of major Jewish organizations, religious leaders and survivors of antisemitic attacks, such as Arsen Ostrovsky, who survived a shooting last December at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach, in Australia, that took 15 lives. Rally organizers included philanthropic nonprofit United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York, public affairs nonprofit Jewish Community Relations Council of New York and advocacy nonprofits Anti-Defamation League New York/New
Jersey and American Jewish Committee New York. Riverdale resident Janet Steinberg, who works in schools helping teachers instruct on literacy, said she feels that incidents of antisemitism in schools are rising. She said she does not personally feel unsafe, but others do. She also disagreed with positions such as Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s call to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes. “I think it’s about making sure people know that Jews are not gonna back down,” Steinberg said. “We’re allowed to live in New York City like everyone else.” The United Nations represents all people, and in the last couple of years the representation does not feel equally distributed, she said. Steinberg believes that nations “forgot how to collaborate.” Another attendee from Riverdale, Marilyn Wolff Diamond, said the rally intended to show world leaders that people are outraged about rising antisemitism. She said she feels that others confuse the Israeli government’s military action in Gaza with Judaism, and are “taking their anger out on Jewish people locally.” Wolff Diamond had similar motivations for attending as Steinberg, namely “reinforcing the idea that people aren’t going to let this happen without a fight.”

The rally included nonprofits, members of the Jewish community and fellow New Yorkers, according to the organizers’ description.
Local attendee Merritt Claude said for her, support for the Jewish community involves countering misinformation.

The first speaker of the rally was Eric Goldstein, CEO of UJA Federation of New York. “We call on world leaders at a minimum to adopt serious national action plans to counter antisemitism,” Goldstein said. “With special envoys with real authority to monitor those plans, to provide robust security funding for Jewish communal institutions, to urgently work with social media platforms to root out misinformation, create transparent moderation standards and strictly enforce them,” Goldstein said.

Participants from Riverdale who spoke to The Press said they were concerned about antisemitism, international support for Israel and positions taken by Mamdani.
A group of counterprotesters from Neturei Karta, an anti-Zionist Orthodox Jewish organization, stood nearby holding signs and chanting “Judaism yes, Zionism no, the state of Israel must go,” among other things. Some of their signs included a photo of Netanyahu with captions such as “Wanted for crimes against humanity,” “The occupation of Palestine is a violation of Judaism” and “The state of Israel and its actions are not the solution, but the main causes of antisemitism.”

Local Jewish leaders were also present, including Senior Rabbi Steven Exler from the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale, not pictured. “We’re here because antisemitism and antisemitic rhetoric continues to be on the rise in this city and beyond, and we have to raise a voice,” Exler said.

THE RIVERDALE PRESS - Thursday, October 1, 2026 - A7
Where whimsy meets function: Riverdale resident finds new calling By Olivia Young oyoung@riverdalepress.com A few neighbors strolled through Shannon Lindgren Murtha’s Fieldston home Sept. 25, feeling the texture of silk dresses, sequin tops and vintage paintings as part of a pop-up for Last Stop Antiques Shop — one of the few places to buy secondhand in the Riverdale area, and a new venture for Lindgren Murtha after 12 years in corporate consulting. Lindgren Murtha founded Last Stop Antiques Shop last year. She sells online and hosts private pop-ups from an extra room in her house, dealing clothes, furniture, home goods and accessories that she sources from rummage sales hosted by churches in the Bronx and Westchester. She also vended at the Cravings and Crafts Farmer’s Market in June and plans to conduct more appearances in the future. Lindgren Murtha has deep roots in Riverdale stretching back three generations, but she grew up in the suburbs outside Boston with thrifty parents who frequented yard sales. After her undergraduate education and completing a master of business administration degree, she moved to the Upper West Side to help companies improve by implementing new technologies or changing their workplace culture. The core of her work was tailoring strategies based on the company, something Lindgren Murtha said she’s quite good at. More than a decade later, she would use a similar approach to building Last Stop Antiques Shop. Staying plugged into the community’s needs is a priority, Lindgren Murtha said. “The more that we are shopping for people, and the more in touch we get with what people are looking for and what their problems are, the better solutions we can offer,” she said. Lindgren Murtha moved to a townhouse in Riverdale with her husband in 2016. They moved again in 2024, and in the midst of that move, the couple found that a lot of their furniture didn’t fit in the new house. Murtha started using “Buy Nothing” Facebook groups, where neighbors give away items or services for free. Wanting to list furniture to sell, she created the Last Stop Antique Shop site in September 2025, and soon started buying items she thought others would like with the purpose of reselling. But the urge to launch Last Stop Antiques Shop ran deeper than just a business venture. A mom of two young kids, Lindgren Murtha said she reached a point a few years ago where it was time to decide whether she wanted to keep moving up the corporate ladder, or if she wanted to spend more time with her kids. Extensive travel made her miss a lot of moments, she said, and she ultimately made the choice to pour herself into her kids and the community. Lindgren Murtha got involved with the parents association at P.S. 81, and also the Community Education Council for District 10. Her house was always filled

Shannon Lindgren Murtha and her dog, Dunkin’ Donuts, awaited customers’ arrivals. with antique and thrifted items, but during this time, Lindgren Murtha started to notice a gap in the neighborhood when it came to finding secondhand items. In her own home, she wanted basic, quality furniture that she could source sustainability, and she had to go out of the city to find it. Maybe other neighbors felt the same lack of local options, she thought. Lindgren Murtha described her taste as “where whimsy meets function.” Before leaving her job, she found herself in either professional clothes or leggings, without a middle ground. Once she did leave, Lindgren Murtha had to ask “What’s my style?” Now, she’s passionate about helping others answer that question, with the added benefit of conscious consumerism. “It’s the idea that you can look good … and still be an awesome, functional mom,” Lindgren Murtha said. Fast-fashion production has been widely documented as contributing to environmental damage, clothing waste and labor exploitation. Lindgren Murtha said she’s horrified by the widespread practice. She also noted the difference in quality between a clothing item from 25 years ago versus today. The fabric feel, look and longevity is always better in the older garments, she said. There have been setbacks since she started her venture — namely, rising costs.

Based on conversations with neighbors, Lindgren Murtha said, people weren’t looking to shop. She hopes that will change with the approaching holiday season. Lindgren Murtha said she doesn’t miss the corporate world, as both the shop and her role with the education council allow her to use the same skills she did at work — but without having to be a filtered version of herself. It allows her to empower other women too, she said. “One of the beauties of doing your own thing is you get to be as unapologetically you as you want to be,” Lindgren Murtha said.

Bronx Community Board 8 Parks and Recreation Committee Chair Deb Travis, right, and community board vice chair Bob Bender, left.
5 takeaways from the community board parks committee By Olivia Young oyoung@riverdalepress.com Bronx Community Board 8 is back in session after its summer break, and the parks and recreation committee held its first meeting Sept. 23. The committee reviews capital projects in local parks, advocates on behalf of parks for budget requests, represents the community’s interests and acts as a liaison between residents and the city, according to the board’s site. Here are five takeaways from the meeting residents should know about.
City crews accidentally mowing planted areas
The main topic of discussion at the Sept. 23 meeting was how to improve communication between the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and local steward groups when it comes to grass and perennial care. Perennials are plants that die and grow back on their own for multiple seasons. Bronx Community Board 8 Parks and Recreation Committee Chair Deb Travis, who also founded Jerome Park Friends and Neighbors, said the topic arose over the summer when a cutting crew from the city mowed over New York-native yew bushes in Fort Independence Park. Stewards of Brust Park cofounder Jacqueline Hosford said Brust Park has had similar issues over a number of years. Joe Magneri, district manager with the New York City Department of Parks
and Recreation, said he understands how much work goes into the planted areas. He said the department gets seasonal employees during the summer who have less experience and district-specific knowledge of what to mow and what to avoid. Magneri proposed implementing an eight-inch corrugated galvanized steel fence — which is a wavy, metal sheet — around plant beds, with a parks department sign that reads “Do not mow,” and underneath, “Planted Area.” Magneri said he would want to include the fences and sign in employee training.
Ewen park stair construction ongoing
Reconstruction on the Ewen Park stairs — which connect Johnson Avenue to Riverdale Avenue through Ewen Park — has begun. The $4 million project launched in August. The new steps and their rebuilt entrance will include handrails, new lighting and plantings, and ways to control soil erosion. Johnson Avenue between West 231st Street and West 232nd Street will be down to two travel lanes with no parking, in order to accommodate the construction equipment, Travis said. This is expected to last about a year.
Stewards urge Brust Park repairs
Lower Brust Park — located at Manhattan College Pkwy and Dash Place — is in need of maintenance, said Hosford, cofounder of the Stewards of Brust Park. Travis said over the summer, a section of the park was blocked off due to unsafe
conditions, as the bluestone paved surface around the benches near the entrance is uneven. She also said the park has been a capital budget priority for the committee for the last several years. According to the stewards’ social media, a portion is still blocked off, and the group is tr ying to get Council member Eric Dinowitz to fast-track restoration efforts. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation told The Press the department will be repairing the bluestone, and will start as soon as crews are available.
New vice chair
Travis noted in her chair’s report that Miriam Filer is the new vice chair of the committee. According to Filer’s LinkedIn, she has been a community board member since last August, as well as a Van Cortlandt Park Alliance board member for a year. She currently works at Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy as a middle school learning specialist.

The next parks and recreation committee meeting will be held Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. in the community board’s office at 5676 Riverdale Avenue, Suite 100. Residents can also join via Zoom. The board can be reached by calling 718-884-3959 or emailing bx08@cb.nyc.gov. All meetings are open to the public, and a part of each meeting is reser ved for public comments.

A10 - THE RIVERDALE PRESS - Thursday, October 1, 2026
Opinion Editorial
Press freedom is your freedom
A
bout two weeks ago, Trump announced that he was banning reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House grounds, limiting their coverage of his administration as he accused them of publishing “fake news.” While a court order has temporarily allowed the reporters access to the White House once more, this move by a sitting U.S. president to limit what he views as unflattering coverage of his administration is not one to look past. The Riverdale Press has, of late, published a flurry of editorials keeping readers abreast of developments in this fraught media landscape and sharing our stances on these matters. The phrase “unprecedented times” seems to hang in the air over much of modern life today, and the world of journalism is certainly no exception. This recent move by the president occurs amid concerning increases in animosity toward the free press not only from public officials across the globe, but from the public as well. The ban of these White House press pool members led to a great deal of pushback, and a great deal of headlines. Even members of the White House press pool who were not subject to the ban suspended pool coverage in solidarity with their fellow journalists. The moment created a rare instance where news outlets of varying kinds banded together, and members of the public expressed distress online on these journalists’ behalf. What many of these journalists and other individuals were really rallying behind, though, was the First Amendment. And while this moment of solidarity and attention on the importance of the media is in some ways hopeful, it was brought about by an action that has dangerous implications for the right of the American public to remain informed on what their government is doing. The First Amendment of our country’s constitution is often something American citizens read once, usually when prompted to do so in a classroom. Revisiting the constitution is a good practice
however — especially when political powers continue to run up against, or through, the guardrails it put in place. The First Amendment protects five foundational freedoms: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, petition, and, of course, press. News outlets and commentators alike have noted that it appears the president banned only outlets whose coverage he believes paints him and his administration in an unflattering light. Outlets whose coverage he often criticized and called “fake” or “lies.” Though the administration cited national security justifications for the ban, critics have pointed to the flimsiness of those justifications. The fight for the right of these news outlets to cover the Trump administration from the White House grounds is not over. And this fight is just one symptom of a larger, national and global trend of discrediting and stifling the press. It is important to remain painfully aware that these battles are not only important for journalists seeking access. They are important for the everyday people to whom political officials are accountable. No matter which end of the political spectrum one falls toward, any move by any official to limit press access to their operations should be regarded with a great deal of not only scrutiny, but alarm. Each news outlet that loses inside access to a political space is a point of view, a perspective that is lost to the public they serve. Whether one consumes news from the outlets in question or not, it must be acknowledged that these outlets provide essential information about the inner workings of American government. They are staffed by journalists — individuals who are typically called to pick up the pen or microphone because they are passionate about transparency and justice, because they take the truth seriously. A sudden ban of such journalists has worrying implications. It limits the number of voices who are able to tell the stories that shape people’s lives. That is a dangerous game for our country to play.

Letters to the editor
In appreciation of story recognizing local artist To the Editor:
I really loved the article on Marble Hill Houses, its annual community tradition since the 2009 tragic
death of Cedric Gadsen and artist Corey Fields’ work. I found his art to be superb and looked up to order his available comic books online and suggest
others do the same. Thank you, Riverdale Press, for showcasing another great artist among us! ERIK WEBER
In appreciation of native flora planting To the Editor:
Just a word of thanks and sending much admiration for all the beautiful native flowers and vegetation planted by the Spuyten Duyvil Library branch
across the street from P.S. 24. My spirits are lifted up every time I walk into the library. The gift of such natural beauty is a pure pleasure, and a testament to the devotion of the library staff
and community partners that have created a place of beauty and reflection with their devotion to the neighborhood. Many thanks! TED MIESZCZANSKI
Let’s save lives on subways To the Editor:
The tragic deaths and injuries on the subway tracks that seem to happen almost every day can be stopped with a simple fix:
Most major stations in Japan feature automated platform screen doors or gates that open only when a train has completely stopped, virtually eliminating accidental falls or riders being pushed off plat-
forms. Gov. Hochul must authorize New York City to install these gates despite budgetary concerns. The gates will save lives. STEPHEN REICH
What is your biggest community concern? By Alexa Lewis alewis@riverdalepress.com
The Riverdale Press is asking for reader input on local community issues — now through our new opinion polls. The Press has a long tradition of providing a forum for community discussion on its opinion page, and while we continue to accept and encourage letters to the editor and Point of View columns, we are excited to introduce these polls as a new, additional way for community voices to be heard. Polls will be made available on the Riverdale Press website as well as its Instagram and Facebook pages. They are conducted through Google Forms, and are intended to gauge public opinion on issues impacting local residents. These polls are an opportunity not only to ex-
press valuable opinions, but also to influence The Press’ coverage. Our team takes poll results into account when planning future investigations and poll topics. Participants may also fill out an optional box at the bottom of each poll letting us know what they would like to see us examine next. For those who do not wish to take the polls, but would still like to submit the opinions or tips, our inboxes at letters@riverdalepress.com and newsroom@riverdalepress.com are always open as well. We thank all of the readers who participated in our inaugural opinion poll, which asked residents to share their biggest community concerns. We received a wide array of responses, with development, parking and various quality-of-life concerns emerging as top responses.
Among those who picked “other” on the poll, respondents also raised concerns about noise, rats, local business availability, HOA fees and the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the city.
Participate in the next poll
There is still time to submit responses to our next opinion poll, which will close at noon on Friday, Oct. 2. Taking into account responses to the previous poll and other community input, this week’s poll asks locals what quality-of-life issue impacts them the most. The poll can be accessed at riverdalepress.com, or via The Riverdale Press on Facebook and @riverdalepress on Instagram.
