Montefiore considers its next move By RIVERDALE REVIEW STAFF Montefiore Hospital’s proposal to build an ambulatory care center is seemingly on life support, at least for now. Because of the new law passed in this year’s budget by State Senator Jeff Klein and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, the hospital will have to undergo a lengthy review process that could take up to two years to complete, the legislators told a crowd of 100 residents at the Riverdale Y last Thursday. This gambit may have political implications, winning State Senator Jeff Klein many friends as he may be facing a challenge from former Councilman Oliver Koppell, who also opposes the construction, but has been unable to do much about it. The fact that Klein worked so closely with Dinowitz, was not lost on local political observers. “With this new law, the community will no longer be shut out of the approval process for health facilities,” Klein said. “On the contrary, they will have an important role in this decision, giving voice to real concerns on the impact of major health care developments like the Montefiore facility. And with over 100 local residents in attendance last Thursday evening for our Town Hall to discuss this law, I am confident that Montefiore’s plans for Oxford Avenue will be ground to a halt.” All proposed health facilities exceeding three stories, and over 30,000 square feet,

in the Bronx will go through rounds of review run by the State Commissioner of Health who can approve, modify or deny a project. Communities will be empowered by the new legislation, the electeds said. The law subjects projects like Montefiore’s to a lengthy community review process. For Montefiore, that process will enable community members to testify about the appropriateness of the facility at public hearings to be held in Riverdale. State regulators would be required to consider the community’s concerns before making a decision. Not everyone is happy with the new law. Not surprisingly the new legislation was criticized by the largest labor union representing hospital and health care workers and the Greater New York Hospital Association. In a joint statement, George Gresham, President, 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and Kenneth E. Raske, President, Greater New York Hospital Association said that they are “deeply concerned by the New York State budget provision that creates complicated, costly, and unnecessary requirements for the establishment of hospital-affiliated outpatient facilities in the Bronx. We are equally concerned that it applies only to health care facilities, and only to the Bronx. We fear that this provision will delay the development of vital health care facilities

Assemblyman Dinowitz. “The legislation that Senator Klein and I enacted into law Continued on Page 2

Politicians continue fight against view-killing Jersey building Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY-16), Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester), Senator Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights), Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz (D-Riverdale) and Councilmember Andrew Cohen (D-Riverdale) continued their fierce opposition to LG Electronic’s proposed 143-foot LG tower along the Palisades by filing a legal brief in support of environmentalists’ efforts to end the project. Senator Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) said: “The Palisades are a nationally recognized treasure that have been shared by the people of New York and New Jersey for over a century. Residents from both sides of the Hudson have voiced their opposition to LG’s plan and today Congressman Engel, Senator Espaillat, Assemblyman Dinowitz, Councilmember Cohen and I are continuing are fight alongside these residents in taking legal action to overturn this judge’s tragic decision. Together, we’ll continue to do everything possible to stop LG’s massive and unwanted overdevelopment.” The brief outlines “three independent and compelling cases” against the evaluation process used to allow the construction of the LG Electronics building. First, the elected officials argue in their brief that the Borough of Englewood Cliff’s Board of Adjustment, the body that granted a variance in the zoning law for LG Electronics to build above the 35 foot maximum height restriction, did not satisfy the condition for granting this variance. As the brief notes, a variance must only be granted for “special reasons” that do not cause “substantial detriment to the public good.” Given that the Palisades are a “universally recognized” landmark, the brief contends

that LG has clearly failed to meet such standards. Second, the elected officials argue that the sheer magnitude of the variance requires LG to present “specific and compelling” evidence demonstrating the need of the project’s scale and size. Such evidence, the brief outlines, simply does not exist. Finally, the legislators argue that the approval of the 143-foot building failed to properly apply basic standards of New Jersey’s Municipal Land Use Law. Under New jersey law, all variances must cause “no substantial detriment to the public good.” Given that New Jersey has a legal obligation to maintain the Palisades as a scenic resource for both New York and New Jersey, the legislators argue that the LG variance clearly violates that legal obligation and thus fails to meet the burdens of NJ Municipal Land Use Law. A variance in the zoning law along the Palisades authorized LG Electronics to build above the 35 foot maximum height restriction. Local New Jersey residents, the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs and the environmental group, and Scenic Hudson subsequently filed a lawsuit against LG Electronics and the Zoning Board of Adjustment, challenging the authority of the Zoning Board to grant LG Electronics the right to construct such a tall building. In early August of 2013, the Bergen County Superior Court upheld LG Electronics’ plan to construct a 143-foot building headquarters. With the plaintiffs filing an appeal in the hopes of overturning this decision, elected officials representing parts of the Bronx and Westchester that directly face the Palisades filed an amicus brief on behalf of this ap-

peal in the Appellate Division of New Jersey Superior Court. Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY-16) said, “I had hoped that LG would be a better corporate citizen by yielding to our communities’ concerns. LG has little to gain and should seriously consider alternative options, such as building a shorter, wider building that wouldn’t desecrate one of New York’s signature landscapes and cause undue harm to the environment. The Palisades are truly a unique treasure that must be preserved.” “This case will impact the future of our community, so New Yorkers need an advocate in New Jersey Superior Court,” said Senator Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights). “We’re filing this brief to make sure the Court takes a hard look at LG’s proposal, and prevents the damage their new headquarters will do on both sides of the Hudson.” Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz (D-Riverdale) said, “The breathtaking view and natural beauty of the Palisades has existed for eons. The construction of this huge tower by LG would forever spoil this incredible natural resource. It will also irrevocably open the door for future large scale construction on the palisades and it’s simply not necessary. They can easily build a facility of equal capacity by building shorter and wider. Shame on them. I am proud that all of our local elected officials have joined together to fight LG’s horrible plan.” “Today I file this amicus with Congressman Engel, Senator Klein, Senator Espaillat and Assemblyman Dinowitz to prevent the LG Corporation from constructing this unwanted development. Not only is this project detrimental to the integrity of the Palisades but it sets Continued on Page 2

Montefiore plots next move

Continued from Page 1 through the new state budget changes everything. Montefiore claimed all along that this was an ‘as-of-right’ project that they could build no matter what. Now that must follow a time-consuming and detailed procedure that involves giving very specific information to the community which then must go through a careful

review process. They no longer hold all of the cards. While I recognize the importance of Montefiore in the Bronx and have only praise for them as one of the premier medical facilities in the country, that does not relieve them of their responsibility to work with and consult with the community and its elected representatives when planning a facility or project.”

Pols continue protest on Jersey bldg. Continued from Page 1 a dangerous precedent for future developments along this National Natural Landmark. We will do everything we can to protect the beauty of this national treasure,” said Council Member Andrew Cohen (D-Riverdale). The amicus brief was filed by Bradley M. Campbell, Esq., a nationally recognized environmental lawyer based in New Jersey. His previous work includes serving as Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), regional administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Mid-Atlantic region and as a attorney at the United States Department of Justice. During his tenure as New Jersey DEP Commissioner, Mr. Campbell secured permanent statutory protection for New Jersey’s Highlands region, and worked closely with New York in establishing tougher standards on automobile, mercury, power plant and greenhouse gas emissions. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Mr. Campbell was the first public official in the nation to mandate increased safeguards for chemical plant security. Senator Klein and Assemblyman Dinowitz co-authored a letter to New Jersey Governor Christie on July 3, 2013, urging him to intervene on behalf of New Jersey and New York residents in the planned construction of a new 143 foot building for

LG Electronics Corporation in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, by the Palisades. On August 15, 2013, Senator Klein, Congressman Engel, Assemblyman Dinowitz and then Democratic nominee for City Council, Andrew Cohen, held a press conference with environmental leaders to call on LG Electronics to lower the height of their headquarters.

Though the law is not retroactive, it will apply to a project, like Montefiore, once a plan is filed and approved by the City’s Department of Buildings. Currently Montefiore’s plans are “disapproved.” Their 11-story ambulatory care center was criticized by virtually all of the community members attending last Thursdays meeting, but could have proceeded as an as-of-right project because the parcel of land it sits on Oxford Avenue and Tulfan Terrace was left out of the community’s re-zoning plan, which capped the height for most surrounding developments. Both Klein and Dinowitz said the legislation was borne out of a response from the Department of Health, which said that Montefiore didn’t require a certificate of need to build the facility. “A Certificate of Need just asks the question, does this facility service the community where it’s located? Does this facility take into account traffic, density,

other issues like that,” Klein said. “We received a letter back saying no, even though this facility looks like a hospital, walks like a hospital, talks like a hospital, it’s not and it’s not considered one, so it doesn’t have to go through the Certificate of Need process,” he added. The measure won praise from the 100 residents, including Protecting Riverdale’s Jim Grossman and Stu Gardener, residents of Tulfan Terrace and Constantine Pantazis. The lone voice of “cynicism” was former City Councilman G. Oliver Koppell’s sister, Olivia, who said she doubted the new law would do anything. “The community gets to respond, taking into consideration density, traffic, whether or not their actually serving the needs of the actual community, and in turn, the Department of Health has to take all of those factors into consideration,” Klein said. “On this specific project, this grinds it to a halt,” Klein added.

By CHRIS CIRILLO Manhattan College basketball coach Steve Masiello will be reinstated as the head coach of the men’s basketball team as soon as he completes his undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky. Masiello had participated in graduation ceremonies at UK, but enrolled in summer classes to complete his degree. He never followed up with the university to make sure he officially received his degree. “Based on an extensive review of the situation and extenuating circumstances, we determined that Mr. Masiello executed poor judgment but did not intentionally

misrepresent himself in applying to the College,” Manhattan College President Brennan O’Donnell said in a statement. Masiello will enroll in summer classes this summer to finish his degree and then resume his coaching duties. “While we do not condone Mr. Masiello’s mistake, we believe it was a genuine one and that he deserves a path to reinstatement. Since Manhattan College’s founding by the De La Salle Brothers in 1853, we have been an institution that strives always to strike the right balance of justice and mercy in matters such as this.” Masiello, who has been restrained from

talking to the media, spoke publically for the first time since it has been reported that he never received his bachelor’s degree. “I made a mistake that could have cost me my job at an institution I love,” Masiello said in a statement released by the school. “Details matter. Manhattan College has shown me a great deal of compassion and trust during this process, and I will do everything in my power to uphold that trust. I understand that I am very fortunate to have the chance to remain here at Manhattan.” Assistant coach Matt Grady will be the interim coach until Masiello finishes his undergraduate degree. Key players stood by their embattled coach Masiello last week, as reports surfaced that Manhattan College officials are split on whether to allow him to continue with the school Masiello met last week with several Manhattan officials, including representatives from human resources, retiring athletic director Bob Byrnes, incoming athletic director Noah LeFevre and school provost William Clyde, with administrators split on whether to retain him, according to the New York Post, which cited multiple sources. Meanwhile, Masiello, who led the Jaspers to their first NCAA tournament in a decade and nearly knocked off the defending champions in the second round of the tournament, was placed on administrative leave pending the resolution of allegations that he may have mislead Manhattan College by claiming to have graduated from the University of Kentucky when he had not. Masiello signed a contract to be the next head coach at the University of Florida on March 25, according to the contract obtained by Deadspin. Masiello followed

College of Mt. St. Vincent

The College of Mount Saint Vincent hosted Relay for Life on its Riverdale Campus, Friday, April 4, 2014 from 2:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. the next day, in the New Gym, Peter Jay Sharp Athletic and Recreation

Center. The event featured games and activities to provide entertainment and build camaraderie, including speeches by cancer survivors Diem Brown and student survivor Diana Famularo. Last year during the inaugural Relay for Life event at the College, more than 250 Mount students and their supporters who attended the event raised $21,000 for the American Cancer Society. Relay For Life is important because it brings together the community for one great charity cause, says Rema Sayed ,14, President of the CMSV Student Government. “We are bringing awareness to CMSV about cancer research, and cancer treatment. We are appreciating life, and those that have survived cancer, those we have lost, and those that were caregivers. Without the American Cancer Society, and without charity events such as Relay For Life, there would be less birthdays being celebrated around the United States. The Relay for Life event raises funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Organized by the American Cancer Society each year, it is attended by more than 4 million people in more than 20 countries. During a Relay event, participants and survivors celebrate what they’ve overcome during the Survivors Lap. During the Luminaria Ceremony, participants remember people lost to cancer, and honor people who have fought or are fighting cancer. The Fight Back Ceremony inspires Relay participants to take tangible action against a disease that has taken too much.

Founded in 1847 by the Sisters of Charity, the College of Mount Saint Vincent offers nationally recognized liberal arts education and a select array of professional fields of study on a landmark campus overlooking the Hudson River. Committed to the education of the whole person, and enriched by the unparalleled cultural, educational and career opportunities of New York City, the College equips students with the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary for lives of achievement, professional accomplishment and leadership in the 21st century.

Manhattan College

Brennan O’Donnell, president of Manhattan College and a scholar of 19th-century British literature, will receive the 2014 Robert Fitzgerald Prosody Award on June 4 at West Chester University’s Poetry Conference, the largest poetry-only conference in the country. The award is presented to recognize scholars who have made a lasting contribution to the art and science of versification, and is the only prosody prize in the world. Unique among literary and academic prizes, the Fitzgerald Award was established at West Chester University in 1999 in honor of the poet and critic Robert Stuart Fitzgerald, best known for his poetic translations of ancient Greek and Latin, in addition to several books of his own poetry. O’Donnell is the 19th president of Manhattan College and began the role on July 1, 2009. He is the author of two

studies of the poetic technique of William Wordsworth, entitled Numerous Verse and The Passion of Meter: A Study of Wordsworth’s Metrical Art. “His highly original scholarship has expanded our understanding of the English Romantics,” said Dana Gioia, a former Fitzgerald student, past chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, and a member of the selection committee since the inception of the Prosody Award. Co-editor of The Work of Andre Dubus, O’Donnell has written and lectured widely on poetry, religion and literature, and on issues in higher education. From 1993 to 2000, he was a member of the National Seminar on Jesuit Higher Education and for six years, edited the national magazine Conversations on Jesuit Higher Education. “I am honored and humbled to have my work acknowledged in the ranks of so many great scholars in this field,” said O’Donnell. “I’ve learned a great deal from them through the years, and it is gratifying to think that I may have contributed with them to our understanding.” Prior to working at Manhattan College, he was dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill, Fordham University’s oldest and largest school. O’Donnell also spent 17 years at Loyola University Maryland, where he was a professor of English and, from 1999-2004, director of the university-wide honors program. A graduate with the highest distinction and honors in English from Penn State in 1981, he earned his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in English and American Literature and Language. Past recipients of the Robert Fitzgerald Award include Derek Attridge, T. V. F. Brogan, Edward Weismiller, Paul Fussell, George T. Wright, Timothy Steele, Marina Tarlinskaya, John Hollander, Robert B. Shaw, Lewis Turco, Annie Finch, Thomas Cable and Charles Hartman.

NOW OPEN IN RIVERDALE!

Although the western half of The Bronx had been annexed to New York City in 1874, much of that vast territory remained filled with farms and suburban villages for decades. One of the suburban villages was Kingsbridge. This small settlement just north of Spuyten Duyvil Creek was connected to the rest of the city on Manhattan Island by the low wooden bridge at today’s Kingsbridge Avenue and West 230th Street that gave the village its name. Further to the east, at about the site of today’s Target store in the River Mall, was the similar Farmer’s Free Bridge that brought wagons, carriages and pedestrians down Kingsbridge Road to the northern reaches of the island. The streets were not yet paved. The village was a collection of frame single-family homes. Part of West 230th Street contained shops and other commercial establishments serving the residents. It also faced the railroad tracks of the Hudson Division of the New York Central System whose station was just east of Broadway. The shops were located west of today’s Kingsbridge Avenue. Close together, in a row, stood a butcher shop with a sawdust covered floor and sides of meat hanging on hooks, a bakery with fresh

baked bread, cakes and pies, a dry goods and notions store, a candy store with penny candy for the children, a grocery store with barrels, bins and boxes filled with flour, coffee, tea, and pickles, a druggist who mixed prescription medicines on site, a shoemaker who could make shoes to order, and a woodworking shop. Traveling vendors also served the residents. These included those who sold ice cream or fish, ground scissors and knives, collected rags and discarded clothing, and some entertainers, such as an organ grinder and monkey and a Punch and Judy show. Girls grew up playing with cloth dolls with china heads, jumping rope and jacks, while boys played around with spinning tops, marbles and kites. Together, they played games on the streets, including tag, red rover and a-tisket a-tasket. The most exciting day occurred after the Spanish-American War ended. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt led his Rough Riders across the King’s Bridge, up modern Kingsbridge Avenue to Van Cortlandt Park past cheering residents on porches waving flags and hats. Roosevelt acknowledged them by waving his hat in return.

Bronx Arts Ensemble to hold annual gala benefit

The Bronx Arts Ensemble will celebrate 41 years of acclaimed concerts and groundbreaking arts-in-education programs at a gala benefit Saturday, April 12 from 4 - 7 pm at the Riverdale Yacht Club in the Bronx. BAE’s Gala Chairman is Dr. E. Heidi Jerome and Benefit Committee members are Susan Baldwin and Vita Zambetti. The 41st Annual Gala honorees are Ben Waxman, Network Leader, Children First Network #534, The New York Community Trust and Norma Vega, Principal, ELLIS Prep Academy. The gala will feature legendary jazz pianist Valerie Capers and bassist John Robinson and a special dance performance by ELLIS Prep students. Gala honoree Ben Waxman has served New York City children as an educator for 40 years. Following teaching mathematics and serving as a teacher trainer in District 18, he joined the staff of New York City Teacher Center Consortium at UFT. For the next fourteen years he served

as a facilitator of school wide programs and coordinator of support for low performing schools. Following his positions of Director of Middle School Initiatives in District 4 and Restructuring Regional and Local Instructional Superintendent for Region 5, and after work at several colleges, Mr. Waxman was recruited by the UFT as Director of Operations for UFT Elementary Charter Schools. He currently serves as a PSO Network Leader for CEI-PEA CFN 534. In 2002 he received the Parent Empowerment Award for Distinguished Service to the Children and Parents of New York City Public Schools, awarded by the United Parent Associations. Thanks to his leadership, Mr. Waxman’s network of schools are currently participating in BAE’s Arts-in-Education programs for the duration of 2014. The New York Community Trust has been a crucial lifeline making New York City a vital and secure place since its founding in 1924. The Trust ended 2012 with assets of more than $2.1 billion in more than 2000 charitable funds, and made grants totaling $136 million. Attracting a multitude of donors who are committed to feeding the hungry, educating children, protecting the environment, nourishing the arts and revitalizing neighborhoods, The Trust has been actively involved in recovery efforts following Superstorm Sandy as well as establishing a September 11th Fund with The United Way of NYC. Committed to helping cultural groups integrate arts into needy public schools, and initiate programs in schools that lack arts, The Trust played a pivotal role in starting the Center for Arts Education. The New York Community Trust has provided a $60,000 grant, awarded in 2013, which supports BAE’s Arts-in-Education programs in Children First Network #534, led by Ben Waxman. ELLIS Prep Academy was founded by Principal Norma Vega in 2008, and

serves a 16 to 21-year old newly arrived immigrant English language learner student body, many with interrupted or limited formal education. Prior to her appointment as Principal at ELLIS Prep, Ms. Vega was Special Services Manager at Children’s First Network, as well as one of the founding members and former Principal of Bronx International High School, which opened in 2001. She joined that school as a social worker and held that position prior to becoming Principal in 2004. Ms. Vega was also a social worker at Brooklyn IHS and Legacy High School. She earned her undergraduate degree from Fordham University, MA in Social Work from Columbia University and an MA in Educational Administration from Bank Street College’s Principals Institute. The Bronx Arts Ensemble is one of several current cultural partners at ELLIS Academy.

Chabad to hold End of Passover Feast

Chabad of Riverdale invites the entire community to join us for an End-of-Passover-Feast known as ‘Moshiach’s Meal,’ on Tuesday night, April 22, from 7:15 pm. The 8th and final day of Passover is particularly associated with the Jewish Messiah and the future redemption. The Haftarah (reading from the Prophets) for this day is from Isaiah 11, which describes the promised future era of universal peace and divine perfection. Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Chassidic movement, instituted the custom of partaking of a “Moshiach’s meal” on the afternoon of the last day of Passover. In addition to the Matzah eaten at “Moshiach’s meal,” the Rebbes of Chabad added the custom of drinking four cups of wine, as in the Seder held on Passover’s first days. A free festive dinner complete with Matzah and wine will be served. There is no charge and the event is open to the public! For more information, and to view

Manhattan College coach stays

Continued from Page 3 ed from the University of Kentucky when he was a student from 1996-2000. Eastman & Beaudine, a Texas-based search firm that was paid $60,000 by USF, was performing its routine criminal and background check when it found the discrepancy. Jay Blanton, a spokesperson for the University of Kentucky, confirmed that Masiello never received his degree. Later that day, Manhattan College placed Masiello on leave. “…Manhattan College has learned there is a question of the validity of head men’s basketball coach Steve Masiello’s undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky,” the school said in a statement. “Masiello is currently in the process of reviewing his degree status with the University of Kentucky. Manhattan College has placed Masiello on leave while he completes this process with the University.” Masiello was unavailable for comment.

Joseph Staszewski, a reporter for the New York Post, tweeted that Manhattan commits Sampson Usilo and Samson Akilo will wait to see what happens with Masiello before deciding their future to play at Manhattan. Kurt Semder from News 12 in the Bronx tweeted that Jayvian Delacruz, a recruit from Bishop Loughlin who was considering Manhattan, also said he would wait on a decision from the school before deciding on his future. Recruits and members of the team can all breathe a sigh of relief now that Masiello is back. “While we do not condone Mr. Masiello’s mistake, we believe it was a genuine one and that he deserves a path to reinstatement,” O’Donnell said in the statement. “Since Manhattan College’s founding by the De La Salle Brothers in 1853, we have been an institution that strives always to strike the right balance of justice and mercy in matters such as this.”

Thursday, April 10, 2014 • The RIVERDALE REVIEW

Targeting the Specialized Schools The race baiters have again set their sights set on one of the few consistent success stories of the city educational scene, the specialized public high schools. Our new mayor, Bill DeBlasio, has made the specialized high schools a special target of his. You see, the racial makeup of these schools is not proportionately representative of the city’s diverse population. His solution is to water down admission standards Lawsuits filed over the years by various groups seemingly specializing in a mythical culture of victimization has alleged that the lack of success of minority applicants results from racism. They suggest that the test is not a measure of probable success at the schools, and thus is invalid. They maintain that test prep enjoyed by white and asian students gives them an unfair edge. This is poppycock. We have heard this all before. Here is the truth: test prep simply doesn’t work. A report issued by the Department of Education back in 2006 revealed that the proportion of blacks and Hispanics attending the city’s three most prestigious high schools, Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech, had been declining for a decade. Even the numbers of white students slipped as Asians, then representing just 15.3% of the total public school population, represented a majority at all three schools. Six years later, the proportion of blacks and Latinos has dropped even further. The characterization of Asians as “people of color” seemingly evaporates when it comes to their academic success. This came after a decade of intense efforts by local educrats to support the efforts of black and Latino students through test prep. This was so overt that white and Asian parents threatened a lawsuit asserting that their children were being discriminated against by being excluded from this program. This controversy is nothing new, but rather a cry that has been heard for decades. As Heather Mac Donald chronicled in her 1999 City Journal article, How Gotham’s Elite High Schools Escaped the Leveller’s Ax, it was only the action of two Bronx state legislators in 1971, Assemblyman Burton Hecht and State Senator John Calandra, that has guaranteed that admission to the three schools only be attained by competitive exam. To our mind, no better way has yet been proposed. It will take an act of the state legislature to reverse this, an eventuality that would become far more likely should mainstream Democrats win control of both houses of the legislature. If Andrew Cuomo becomes the last line of defense against political correctness run amok, then we are indeed in trouble. Both Senator Jeffrey Klein and his likely opponent, Oliver Koppell support maintaining the standards. Koppell actually voited for the Hecht-Calandra bill in 1971. But we fear that a Koppell victory this year would have negative implications for the retention of standards, by empowering the foes of the current law. This brings to mind a distressing conversation we held about a decade ago with former Comptroller John Liu, at the time the City Council’s only Asian American member, a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science. We assumed that as a Science alum and an acknowledged spokesperson for the city’s Asian population, Mr. Liu would be supportive of maintaining the testing standards that has served him and his constituents so remarkably well. We were wrong. Mr. Liu believed that the only reason that there is such a small contingent of blacks and Hispanics is due to “flaws in the test that result in a bias.” Since Asian students do so well on these exams, we asked him whether the tests were biased in their favor. Mr. Liu denied this. Of course you can’t have it both ways. There are only so many seats to go around. If you increase the number of black and Hispanic students by revising the admission policy, it will come at the expense of white and particularly Asian students. If someone like John Liu wants to scrap the current system, then it is indeed in as much trouble as the ethically-challenged Mr. Liu was in due to the campaign finance scandal that effectively ended his mayoral ambitions last year. We have a different take on this. Children do not achieve the ability to pass the tough test required for admission to these three schools by eleventh hour cramming programs such as the city’s Specialized High School Institute, formed in the 1990s to increase minority admissions. This clearly didn’t work. Rather the seeds of success are sown in kindergarten and even before. Continued on Page 19

Engel calls on GOP to drop Obamacare opposition

Targeting the specialized schools Continued from Page 18 We lay much of the blame for these distressing results on the systematic dismantling of self-contained gifted and talented programs that we have witnessed over the past quarter century, a process that continues and has even accelerated in many ways under the mayor’s stewardship of the schools. Last year, in the three most impoverished districts in the south Bronx (District 7, District 9 and District 12) only 38 kindergartners in total were found to qualify for gifted and talented programs. Since the city Department of Education requires 25 students in each district to form a class, these talented kids were denied access to the path that ultimately could have led them through the doors of Stuyvesant, eight or nine years up the road. This year, the exact same thing happened in the same three Bronx districts, as well as in

three other districts in Brooklyn. We need to do a much better job in identifying these kids, pump up gifted programs to provide far more enrichment and put them on a path to long term success. But as long as the powers at Tweed are willing to sacrifice the futures of these gifted “orphans” of the south Bronx, no one should be surprised if they fail years from now on this very tough but fair exam that could mean so much to them. Meanwhile misguided politicans and do-gooders should remember that proper G&T programs were eliminated here due to hyper-sensitivity on matters of race. The lower standards tolerated as a result is a clear manifestation of the subtle racism of low expectations and the real reason why blacks and Latinos are losing ground in the quest to take their places in our most competitive schools.

to the days when those with pre-existing conditions were denied coverage, and women paid higher premiums than men. That’s simply not going to happen.” The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has been successful in New York. As of March 31st, nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers have completed an application through NY State of Health, the Empire State’s health insurance marketplace, and an estimated 827,000 have fully enrolled in a health insurance plan offered through the exchange. New Yorkers have until April 15th, to sign up for a plan offered through the New York State exchange if they took steps to apply for coverage on or before the March 31st deadline. For more information about the health insurance plans being offered through NY State of Health, please visit their website, www. nystateofhealth.ny.gov.

Congressman Eliot Engel, a senior member on the House Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health, is calling on House Republicans to end their relentless assault on the Affordable Care Act, in light of new figures showing that over 7 million Americans have obtained health coverage through an exchange. “The Affordable Care Act has done exactly what its name suggests – it’s made health coverage more affordable for uninsured and underinsured Americans. Over 7 million Americans have signed up for insurance through one of the exchanges. There’s no reason to scrap the law.” “Unfortunately House Republicans are about to make their 52nd attempt to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act. They’ve even included a provision to repeal the law in their latest budget proposal. The GOP wants to take us back
