Surviving Heat Wave Tips

Tips for Surviving Heat Wave
                            
BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- With high temperatures and humidity expected to stick with New Yorkers the next few days, Con Edison reminds customers to stay safe, stay comfortable and watch their energy usage. Here are some simple tips.
1. Set your AC to the highest comfortable temperature. Every degree you lower the thermostat drives up your bill by 6 percent.
2. To reduce heat and moisture in your home, run appliances such as ovens, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers in the early morning or late at night when it’s cooler outside.
3. Cook with a microwave, or barbecue.
4. When the AC is running, close doors to keep cool air in and hot air out. Shop owners are reminded not to keep front doors open while running air conditioning inside.  This wastes energy and puts a strain on the grid.
5. Keep shades, blinds and curtains closed. About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows.
6. Use ceiling fans instead of your AC, if possible. Ceiling fans use less energy.
7. Turn off AC units, lights and other appliances when not at home and use a timer or smart technology to turn on your AC before arriving home.
8. Replace old appliances with new energy efficient Energy Star appliances.
Con Edison offers a variety of energy-efficiency programs for this summer. The coolNYC program connects customers with smart technology to control their room air conditioners from their computer or mobile device. Customers whose air conditioners are not Wi-Fi-enabled can buy a smart AC kit or borrow one for free and keep it if they participate in at least three heat events. Customers with Wi-Fi-connected Friedrich Kühl or Frigidaire Cool-Connect units can enroll these Energy Star ACs and earn up to $125 in rewards. Learn more by visiting:www.coolnycprogram.com
Replacing an old air conditioner with a new Energy Star unit can reduce energy usage by 15 percent. Con Edison will pay a $20 rebate to customers who buy a new Energy Star air conditioner.
Customers can report outages and check service restoration status atwww.conEd.com or by calling 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633).  When reporting an outage, customers should have their Con Edison account number available, if possible, and report whether their neighbors also have lost power.
Customers who report outages will be called by Con Edison with their estimated restoration times as they become available.

Protest Haiti at Maestro’s

Protest Haiti at Maestro’s
Haiti Immigration Crisis Comes to the Bronx
Angry Demonstrators Protest Visit by Dominican Republic Foreign Minister
By David Greene

BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- A pair of very vocal and infuriated demonstrators protesting the Dominican Republic's new and controversial policy towards migrant workers of Haiti, came to the Bronx to heckle the Dominican Republic's Foreign Minister, who was invited to speak at breakfast hosted by a local group in Morris Park.

Dahoud Andre of Brooklyn and Bronxite Vilcere Romulus stood on the sidewalk outside of Meastro's catering hall on Bronxdale Avenue on August 7, to protest the visit by Andres Navarro Garcia, who spoke at the breakfast hosted by the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization (NYHCO.)

In a brief statement announcing the breakfast, Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr., a Reverend and President of the NYHCO, explained, "It is a great opportunity for us Hispanic ministers, evangelists and missionaries to hear directly from the Foreign Minister of the Dominican Republic and about the new plan of immigration affecting the Haitian community and other communities that have been established by the administration of President Danilo Medina."

With Haitian flags draped across their shoulders, Andre and Romulus each held up signs, one read, "Boycott Tourism in the Dominican Republic," another demanded, "Full citizenship for Dominicans of Haitian descent," as they chanted slogans about racism to guests as they arrived.

Calling the new policy of the Dominican government, a form of ethnic cleansing, Andre, a host of a local Haitian radio program and a member of the International Campaign to End Apartheid in the Dominican Republic claimed, "It's a very serious issue. It's very sad that you have black politicians in New York who we believe are taking money from the Dominican government to be given this platform to spew lies." 

"From it's inception," Andre continued, "The Dominican Republic has sought to distance itself from it's neighbor in Haiti and blackness."

Andres claims the revolt began when the new legislation was passed, legislation that they claim will affect hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Haiti and the unrest has escalated after several incidents including the revocation of Citizenship of a Haitian-born Dominican who had been practicing law in the Dominican Republic for 30-years, and the February lynching of a Haitian man in Santiago, the Dominican Republic's second largest city.

Pointing out similarities with the current atmosphere in the United States, Andre explained, "It's the same reality that Dominicans are taking rickety boats to Puerto Rico to eventually get to the U.S., you would have a policy where the children of undocumented immigrants would be thrown out, the Dominican community here would rise up against this."

Asked what he would say to the NYHCO, Ardre added, "As Hispanics they understand the reality of undocumented migrants, like Hispanic migrants in this country and the same way that they would like to see undocumented migrants from the Dominican Republic treated in the United States, is the same way we would like them to treat Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic."

Senator Ruben Diaz declined to make a statement on the event or the protest, but his Chief of Staff Ann Noonan stated, "I'm not sure about that... I would just say in regard to the protesters is that everybody has a right to freedom of speech and everyone has a right to do that."

Attempts to reach the Manhattan office of the Consulate of the Dominican Republic were unsuccessful.

Let #PuertoRico File for Bankruptcy- BP, Pols Say 

BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. has issued a letter, in conjunction with over 100 elected officials from across the nation, demanding immediate action from Congress to enact legislation that will allow the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to enter bankruptcy.

The letter can be read here:http://on.nyc.gov/1Wh8Vdz.

“The interests of the Puerto Rican community, whether they are in Puerto Rico, New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida or anywhere else are American interests. Congress has an obligation to act and pass legislation that seeks to amend the Federal bankruptcy code and provide Puerto Rico, and its related power authorities and municipalities, access to Chapter Nine Bankruptcy protections,” states the letter.

The magnitude of debt owed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its associated debt issuing authorities is at a critical juncture. Congress’ failure to address this crisis presents a substantial threat not only to the economy of Puerto Rico, but the United States economy as a whole.

“I am appreciative that so many elected officials from across the United States understand the need for federal action to address Puerto Rico’s ongoing debt crisis and were willing to join forces with my office to push Congress on this issue,” said Borough President Diaz. “I will continue to work with my colleagues to advocate for a remedy to the crushing fiscal crisis facing the commonwealth.”

Pol Hands Out Backpacks, Fun to Kids



BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Northeast Bronx residents came by the hundreds to celebrate with New York City Council Member Andy King on Saturday at the second annual Community Engagement Service Day outside his District Office in the Bronx.
All the ingredients for a beautiful summer day were in place: Clear skies, street games for youngsters, face-painting, music, dancing, health and wellness screenings and lots of food. 

“It’s a fun and informational day for everyone. We bring government and resource information directly to residents, and at the same time everyone comes out and gets to meet their neighbors,” explained King, who, along with his wife Neva Shillingford-King, an executive vice president at 1199 SEIU, had purchased and donated nearly 100 backpacks to the youngsters in attendance.

Initiated and sponsored by Council Member King, the event has grown tremendously in a year. Stretched from the middle of the 900 block of East Gun Hill Road and around the corner onto Colden Avenue to the intersection of Colden and Magenta were more than 50 government agencies and non-profit organizations, ranging from firefighters giving away children-size firefighter hats and coloring books along with fire safety information and CPR demonstrations, New York University Dental vans with free oral screenings, Rite Aid giving free flu shots to the U.S. Army Reserve passing out information on college scholarships.

Impromptu street games sprang up and demonstrations by members of the New York Yo-Yo Club, headed by Council Member King’s Special Assistant Brian Melford, an international yo-yo champion who will be traveling to Japan on Tuesday.
Many of the senior residents sat on chairs along Colden Avenue and watched the line dancing, Zumba exercises and other entertainment on stage.  

The barbecue grill was a big hit, manned by Council Member King’s Staffers and volunteers and food was donated by the local eateries Spices, Golden Krust, Ultimate Grill and RK Super Heroes.

Political Shenanigans?

Political Shenanigans?
Mailer was a Mistake or Intentional?


By Robert Press

BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- That is the question that Mr. John Perez wants answered as both the Board of Elections and Stanley 'King' Schlein (the man who helped write the book on election law) sent out a mailing to contact person John Perez without an apartment number resulting in the mail not being delivered. 

On July 9thMr. John Perez clocked in four petitions at the Board of Elections at 32 Broadway. I was able to get copies of all four petitions with the first BX 1500668 for the 78th A.D. with the Board of Elections time stamp July 9th10:59 p.m. over one hour before the deadline. Petition BX 1500669 for the 78th A.D., Petition BX 1500670 for the 85th A.D., and Petition BX 1500671 for the 79th A.D. All four petitions were clocked in by the Board of Elections at 10:59 PM July 9th 2015 well ahead of the deadline. 

Since he was an insurgent all four of Mr. Perez's petitions were challenged, and the challengers represented by election lawyer Stanley Schlein who is also the lawyer for the Bronx Democratic County organization. At the hearings Mr. Perez, a proud former Army NCO, came in uniform to show his character. I was not at the hearings held on Tuesday, July 28th, but the result was that the commissioners of the Board of Elections refused to accept Mr. Perez's argument that he was not properly served by the Board of Elections and election lawyer Stanley Schlein. It seems that both the Board of Elections and Mr. Schlein did not put Mr. Perez's apartment number on their correspondences to Mr. Perez. You see Mr. Perez lives in an apartment building of over 150 units, and told me there are at least three other families with the same last name. 

On July 30th I went to the post office that delivers the mail Mr. Perez gets. You can go to my blog at www.100percentbronx.blogspot.comarchive section on the lower left side to the month of July posting “ I Found the Missing Specs for the 78th, 79th, and 85thA.D.” to see photos of the four envelopes sent to Mr. Perez by election lawyer Stanley Schlein. You will notice that on none of the four envelopes sent by Mr. Sclein is there an apartment number. You also see markings by the carrier that the envelopes were undeliverable due to lack of apartment number. I was told that if the apartment number was left off intentionally that it could be taken as Mail Fraud which is a federal crime. I also asked where the envelopes sent by the Board of Elections were, and was told they were already sent back to the sender.

Not happy with what I was told at the post office I went the next day to the Board of Elections to see the executive Director Mr. Mike Ryan. I was told Mr. Ryan was unavailable, and then asked for Ms. I then asked for Ms. Valarie Vazquez who I worked with three years ago when I was investigating a similar problem. Ms. Vazquez was not in the building I was told, and her assistant Mr. Joshua Giaramita came out to talk to me. He assured me that Mr. Perez had left out his apartment number on all four petitions, and that was the reason that he did not receive any notice from the Board of Elections, and the reason all 4 petitions were thrown off by the commissioners. 

I was able to obtain copies of all four of Mr. Perez's petition cover sheets, with BX 1500668 the first one handed in pictured in the July 31st blog posting UPDATE. As you see there is clearly an apartment number listed, and I went back to Mr. Giaramita with this information since he was sure that no petition had an apartment number on it. I then asked Mr. Giaramita if the Board of Elections had gotten the returned mail from the post office since it could not be delivered. He could not answer that question, and said that he would have to get back to me. I informed him that I was told it could be interpreted as mail fraud by the postal service if leaving off the apartment number was done intentionally so the packages could not be delivered. I said that both the Board of Elections and Mr. Stanley K. Schlein (the other contact person) had not placed the apartment number on any correspondence to Mr. Perez. I had earlier showed Mr. Giaramita the photos of Mr. Schlein's packages with the postal carrier's comments that it was undeliverable.

I suggested that there be a second call on all four petitions since there had been an apartment number on the first petition which should have been the one gone by for an address, and said that the objections should be voided since there was no proof of service since Mr. Schlein had left off the apartment number either by mistake or on purpose. It will be up to Mr. Perez as to what to do if his petitions are not placed back in good standing, and his candidates not placed back on the ballot. A lawsuit of a conspiracy theory by both Mr. Schlein and the Board of Elections, or to make a federal case out of it.

Since I am on deadline and have not gotten any further comments from Mr. Giaramita, Ms. Vazquez, Mr. Ryan or anyone else from the Board of Elections I will have to say that there was 'NO COMMENT' from the Board of Elections.

Halloween Mask Wearing Crook Sticks up Laundromat By Dan Gesslein BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Was it Halloween's Michael Myers or Leatherface who stuck up an Edenwald laundromat? A surveillance video captured a Halloween mask wearing bandit as he robbed the clerk at gunpoint. At around 9 p.m. on August 6, the suspect burst into the laundromat at 3960 Laconia Avenue. Wearing a horror mask and brandishing what looked like a semiautomatic weapon, the perp demanded cash. He pushed the clerk behind the counter and rummaged through the till making off with $246 cash. The robber then fled in a grey Jeep Liberty SUV. Anyone with information is urged to call CRIMESTOPPERS at (800) 577-TIPS.
