Klein returns to Dems; Koppell cash dries up Oliver Koppell’s comeback campaign seems to have hit a speed bump, in the form of lagging campaign donations. In the wake of the agreement that will bring Senator Jeff Klein’s Independent Democratic Caucus back into the mainstream Democratic fold, Senator Klein holds a 20 to one fundraising advantage over former Councilman Koppell. The Senator’s closing balance as of last filing was $2,058,518.78, while Mr. Koppell had only $101,035.72 on hand. Senator Klein thus had a $1,957,483.06 advantage. It now appears that Mr. Koppell will fall far short of the half-million dollar goal se set for himself as the necessary amount to beat Mr. Klein, an incredibly optimistic scenario at best. The Koppell campaign announced that it will file its second campaign finance report this week and will report more than $25,000 in contributions raised in just three weeks. This brings Koppell’s contributions to almost $200,000 with the monies that have come in even after the filing cut-off date. Meanwhile the parade of union endorsements

continues to march into the Klein camp. The International Operating Engineers Local 891 endorsed Senator Klein for reelection this past Wednesday. “Senator Klein has always been available to discuss meaningful labor issues that affect the men and women of Local 891. Having a voice in Albany is important to bringing our member’s issues and concerns to those that can make positive changes for all New Yorkers,” said President Robert Troeller. The century-old union’s membership maintains school buildings across New York City. “I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the International Union of Operating Engineers 891, whose members keep our school buildings in tiptop shape, and I’m proud to be a voice in the State Senate for them and all hardworking New Yorkers,” said Senator Klein. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 891 adds to the growing list of unions backing state Senator Klein. Labor endorsements include: the Transportation Workers Union Local 100, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union,

Plumbers Union Local 1, the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, Teamsters Joint Council 16, DC 9 IUPAT, Steamfitters Local 638, the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the National NYCPD 10-13 Organization, Port Authority PBA, the Uniformed Fire Officers Association, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union Local 338, the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, the Sergeants Benevolent Association, 32BJ SEIU, the Metallic Lathers and Iron Workers Local 46, the Bridge and Tunnel Officers Benevolent Association, the International Union of Elevator Constructors, the Uniformed Sanitationmen’s Association Local 831, the Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Local #2, the NYS Troopers Police Benevolent Association, TWU Local 106, CWA District One, the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association, the New York State Supreme Court Officers, the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York and the New York State Laborers’ Political Action Committee.

De Blasio’s Vision Zero after Nightmare on Jerome Avenue By DAVID GREENE Exactly 11 days after a driver was killed when his speeding and out-of-control vehicle struck a metal pillar for the overhead subway on Jerome Avenue, the city has begun to reduce the speed limit from 30 to 25 miles-per-hour along the dangerous stretch of roadway. As part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “Vision Zero” plan to reduce or eliminate traffic fatalities across the five boroughs, the city has begun implementing the reduced speed limit along 15 roadways, including Jerome Avenue, where Department of Transportation (DOT) workers began changing speed limit signs along Jerome Avenue between East 161 Street to Bainbridge Avenue. According to DOT statistics, five people have been killed along Jerome Avenue between 2010 and 2014. Other street’s headed for a slowdown in Manhattan include a 7-miles stretch of Broadway as well as Seventh Avenue. In Brooklyn include sections of Coney Island Avenue and Flatbush Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue in Queens and Victory Boulevard in Staten Island. The speed limit along Third Avenue in the Bronx is also targeted for a speed reduction. The DOT has identified 27 roads where slow zones would be implemented. During a press conference at Columbus Circle, DOT Com-

missioner Polly Trottenberg told reporters, “Slow Zones are a critical and widely endorsed element of Vision Zero.” Meanwhile, the NYPD has still

not identified the driver killed on July 24, when his vehicle was split in two after striking the subway pillar outside of Herbert H. Lehman College.

Plan to fix VC Park in Woodlawn

Surrounded by local families, community leaders and Little Leaguers, State Senate Coalition Co-Leader Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) and Council Member Andrew Cohen (D-Bronx) announced $3 million in capital grants secured in this year’s state and city budgets for a comprehensive renovation of the baseball fields in the Woodlawn area of the Bronx. The grant will be used to establish a new baseball field and completely reconstruct an existing turf area that suffered from chronic flooding, resulting in numerous rained out baseball games. Additionally, this flooding rendered portions of the park unusable to the community for periods of time. The announcement was held at Indian Field with members of the NYC Parks Department, Woodlean Boys and Girls Club and Woodlawn Taxpayers. Senate Majority Leader Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) said, “In recent years, Indian Field has had its share of challenges when it comes to giving our children the Little League season they deserve. The community has had to deal with flooded unusable fields for far too long. That’s why I am thrilled to announce that Councilman Cohen and I have secured $3 million in city and state funding to invest in a total renovation of the baseball fields here in Woodlawn. This investment will mean families will finally be able to fully utilize Indian Field for generations to come.” “In conjunctio with Senator Jeff Klein, I am pleased to allocate $3 million in city and state capital funds for the renovation of Indian Field, as well as the construction of a new field in Van Cortlandt Park. These improvements will bring an end to the frequent flooding issues that have caused cancellations to several community baseball games and allow residents to utilize the park to its full capacity. “As a member of the Parks committee, I know the importance of providing quality amenities in the community. I will continue to work with my colleagues in the City Council to ensure that parks projects will be completed on time and within their budget. This is a restoration project the residents of Woodlawn have needed for quite some time and I happy to help put the project in motion,” said Council Member Andrew Cohen (D-Bronx) Dinowitz (D-Bronx) said, “Indian Field in Van Cortlandt Park is an important athletic and recreational space for the residents of Woodlawn and other Bronxites. Unfortunately, the ballfields have fallen into disrepair in recent years, leaving Little Leaguers and many other sports teams without a place to play on account of poor drainage. I’d like to thank Senator Klein and Council Member Cohen for providing funding to restore this vitally important field space, and the Parks Department in advance for their efficient work on these much-needed renovations.” “NYC Parks is appreciative to the elected officials of Woodlawn for allocating the vital resources that will restore the recreational amenities of our neighborhood,” said Bronx Borough Commissioner Hector Aponte. “This worthy investment will provide a much needed restoration of Van Cortlandt Park’s Indian Field. Special thanks to Council Member Cohen, Senator Klein, and Assembly Member Dinowitz for their continued advocacy on behalf of parks and public spaces throughout the community.”

Margot Perron of Van Cortlandt Park said, “We are delighted that Council Member Cohen and Senator Klein are listening and acting on the requests of the community that are clearly documented in the new Van Cortlandt Park Master Plan 2034.” Sean Martin, President of the Woodlean Boys and Girls Club, said, “On behalf of the Woodlean Boys and Girls Club, we are thankful to Senator Klein and Council Member Cohen for securing the funding necessary to totally revamp Indian Field. For too long, Indian Field has suffered from flooding and the care needed to be the community resource it ought to. With the planned capital improvements, Indian Field will be fully restored to the people of our community.”

Educational Landmarks IV: Little Red Schoolhouse No trace is left of the earliest schoolhouses to serve the children of The Bronx. In the colonial period, a schoolmaster hired by the Anglican Church (now St. Peter’s Episcopal Church) near Westchester Square taught the basic “three R’s” to the boys (no girls) of local farmers. A tuition fee was charged each pupil to pay the salary of the schoolmaster. All children of all ages occupied the same room at the same time. In the early nineteenth century, New York State required each town to erect public schools. In the beginning, these, too, were typically one room schoolhouses. Because the schools were subsidized, in part, through state funds, quarterly reports had to be submitted with a tally of the number of pupils enrolled. Because farmers needed their children to help plant and reap crops and to tend the livestock, the greatest attendance occurred in the Winter when their work was no needed on the farm. In those days, The Bronx was the southern part of Westchester County. Much of the northern edge of today’s borough between the Bronx and Hutchinson rivers was then the southern part of the town of Eastchester. In

1877, that town authorized the construction of the Village of Eastchester School. Located at today’s Dyre Avenue between Lustre and Dark streets near the then densely populated section of the town, the new structure had two schoolrooms. Simon Williams was given the task of planning the new building, perhaps because he was also to be the first principal of the school. He designed it in the then popular Victorian Gothic style with red brick and wood trim and gingerbread decoration. In all, it imparted a cheerful atmosphere for pupils to learn. Amazingly, the structure survived the annexation of southern Eastchester to New York City in 1895. It continued to be used as a public school for decades. It was redesignated PS 146, Bronx, then renumbered PS 15 and continued as an annex to PS 148. But residents of the area often referred to it as the Little Red Schoolhouse. In the second half of the twentieth century, the city gave up this relic of nineteenth century public education, but it was saved when the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it as an official city landmark in 1976.

more than 15 years of experience in non-profit management, the majority of which has been in the Jewish communal field. Early in her career, Deann spent several years working at the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, a UJA-Federation of New York affiliated agency. Directing the continental benchmarking initiative at JCC Association of North America followed. Forman consulted with lay and professional leadership on business operations, directed mission impact and staff and member engagement. Most recently, Deann has served as Chief Operating Officer of the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly, NJ, where she oversaw the day-to-day operations of an $18 million Jewish Community Center. Although she now lives in Teaneck, NJ with her husband and three children, Deann is a former resident of Riverdale and is happy to be returning to the community in a professional capacity. When asked how she feels about joining

the team at the Riverdale Y!, Deann says, ‘Riverdale is an extremely special place, one that is home to a robust, diverse and vibrant Jewish community. I feel extremely fortunate to have been given the opportunity to join the Riverdale Y and to help the organization reclaim its rich legacy. To me, the magic of a Jewish community center is its ability to be home to every person who identifies in any way with the Jewish community, and its simultaneous ability to welcome and engage the larger community. My vision is that the Riverdale Y! will become the agency of choice for excellence in cultural, educational, recreational and physical wellness for everyone in the Bronx.’ The Riverdale Y is eager to introduce Forman to the community and invites everyone to come say hello at the Riverdale Y!’s Fall Open House Sunday, September 7th - when the community comes together after the Summer break, with the opportunity to preview many of the Y!’s Fall programs.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Eliot Engel, a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement after voting against the anti-DREAMers bill: “House Republicans voted to kill the American Dream for thousands of children who qualify for deferred action. Given that House leadership has failed to pass meaningful legislation to strengthen the economy or create new jobs, fund a longterm plan to fix our aging infrastructure, and tackle pay inequality then I guess it’s fair to say that they are trying to kill the American Dream for all of us.” The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) would authorize children who immigrated to the United States without legal authorization to stay in the country under certain conditions. Despite popular support for the DREAM Act and the President’s decision to defer deportations, House Republicans late Friday night passed H.R. 5272, the No New DREAMers Act to prevent federal authorities from expanding the number

of children eligible for deferred action. “Closing our doors to those in need is not the American way. We should give those who came here seeking a better life a chance to pursue their dreams, just as we have done for past generations.” Engel, a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement after voting against the Border Supplemental Appropriations bill: “There is a humanitarian crisis unfolding on our Southern border, and House Republicans refuse to acknowledge the urgency with which we must address it. “Thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America have risked their lives migrating to America, clinging to the hope that a better future awaits them once they cross the border. “There’s no doubt that this is a dangerous journey, aided by so-called ‘coyotes’ who profit from human smuggling. Some of these children have been separated from their parents or are orphans. Others are sent with their parents’ blessing, because so uncertain is the future and unyielding is the violence that anything seems better

than staying in their native country. “President Obama has asked Congress for $3.7 billion to resolve this crisis. Specifically, he has requested funding for additional immigration judges and programs that repatriate and reintegrate returning migrants into society in their home countries. Most importantly, the President requested $300 million in new foreign assistance to Central America to address the root causes of this migration. I wrote a letter to the President in June -- signed by 61 of my colleagues -- asking for precisely this. Without helping to lift up the most vulnerable communities in Central America, we will be unable to stop children from making the perilous trek to the United States. “Denying our government of the necessary resources to properly address this situation does nothing to resolve it. Let’s work with our neighbors to fix this problem, rather than wash our hands of it. “But that may be too much to ask of House Republicans. We have many unanswered problems facing our country that the House leadership has chosen to ignore. Their refusal to govern has brought immeasurable harm to our economy, our families and now to these children.

“The way in which we respond to the crisis at our border says more about who we are as a nation than any of our pledges to protect human rights. If we cannot abide by our own principles, then we have none.”

Hamas and Hiroshima:

The Last Man of Enola Gay  Knew What It Took to Win in a War

By SETH LIPSKY, New York Post | July 31, 2014 Theodore “Dutch” Van Kirk died last Monday at the age of 93. He was the last survivor of the crew of the Enola Gay, which on August 6, 1945, dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. It is one those tricks of history that he died amid a campaign by the left to convict Israel of “war crimes” for its action in Gaza. Van Kirk himself was not involved in that debate. He died at his home in Stone Mountain, Ga., having long since retired from the Army. With Col. Paul Tibbets Jr., the pilot, and Maj. Thomas Ferebee, the bombardier, Van Kirk had guided the B-29 Superfortress to Hiroshima from Tinian in the Marianas. He navigated with a hand-sextant. One account of the flight is in Stephen Coonts “War in the Air.” It was Van Kirk who called out the coordinates as the Enola Gay approached its target. He’d helped design the headrest from which Ferebee peered down to spot their aiming point, the Aioi Bridge. When the bomb was released, the plane banked away, only to be nearly shaken out of the sky by the atomic blast. Some estimates of the number who perished at Hiroshima range above 150,000, the vast majority of them civilians. As many as 80,000 died at Nagasaki. A debate has long sputtered as to whether America was within its rights to strike — though, as Van Kirk wrote years later in Time magazine, Hiroshima had “over 100 numbered military targets.” In that piece, Van Kirk also wrote that, at the time of the blast, “there was one thought that was uppermost on everyone’s mind. Somebody said, and I thought too, ‘This war is over.’ You didn’t see how anybody — even the most radical, militaristic, uncaring for their people — how anybody like that could stand up to something like this.” Yet it took more. We struck Nagasaki three days later, on Aug. 9, and only a week after that, on Aug. 15, did the enemy emperor, Hirohito, give his “Jewel Voice Broadcast,” announcing unconditional surrender. A vast land and sea campaign to invade Japan, sure to have cost countless lives on both sides, was no longer needed. The deadliest war in history was over in two fell swoops. There were no triumphalist displays for the Enola Gay crew. Gen. Carl Spaatz, our strategic commander in the Pacific, did, in a modest formation, award Tibbets the Distinguished Service Cross the moment he landed back at Tinian. In a more restrained sense, Van Kirk and his comrades were treated as heroes for the rest of their lives. This is what comes to mind with the news about Van Kirk’s death. How could we have possibly defeated Japan if we were subjected to the kind of propaganda campaign to which Israel is subjected over Gaza? It has killed in the entire Gaza campaign less than half a percent of the civilians we killed with the atomic bombs we unleashed on Japan. And all for a clearly moral purpose: to end Hamas’ campaign of terror, via rocket and tunnel, menacing small communities like Sderot on the edge of Gaza as well as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Yet throughout the fighting, organizations without loyalties, like Human Rights Watch, have had agents on the battlefield, watching out for war crimes. Its cadre then go on TV and retail their allegations of Israeli wrongdoing. How could we have waged World War II under such circumstances? The scale of the current fighting may be small. But the strategic situation, with a vast Arab region in turmoil and Russia and China expanding, is as precarious as in any world war. Yet today, President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are publicly campaigning for a halt to Israel’s action. Could either one have led us in World War II? Could they ever rank with the Greatest Generation? Could they ever have simply stood fast the way Van Kirk and the crew of the Enola Gay did for the rest of their years? “We were fighting an enemy that had a reputation for never surrendering, never accepting defeat,” Van Kirk said, according to his New York Times obituary. He said: “I believe that when you’re in a war, a nation must have the courage to do what it must to win the war with a minimum loss of lives.” “Where,” he asked, citing some of the horrors earlier in that war, “was the morality in the bombing of Coventry, or the bombing of Dresden, or the Bataan Death March, or the Rape of Nanking or the bombing of Pearl Harbor?” He could have added Sderot.

Is it anti-Zionism or really anti-Semitism? By BRENDAN O’NEILL Editor, Sp!ked Why are Western liberals always more offended by Israeli militarism than by any other kind of militarism? It’s extraordinary. France can invade Mali and there won’t be loud, rowdy protests by peaceniks in Paris. David Cameron, backed by a whopping 557 members of parliament, can order airstrikes on Libya and British leftists won’t give over their Twitterfeeds to publishing gruesome pics of the Libyan civilians killed as a consequence. President Obama can resume his drone attacks in Pakistan, killing 13 people in one strike last month, and Washington won’t be besieged by angry anti-war folk demanding ‘Hands off Pakistan’. But the minute Israel fires a rocket into Gaza, the second Israeli politicians say they’re at war again with Hamas, radicals in all these Western nations will take to the streets, wave hyperbolic placards, fulminate on Twitter, publish pictures of dead Palestinian children, publish the names and ages of everyone ‘MURDERED BY ISRAEL’, and generally scream about Israeli ‘bloodletting’. (When the West bombs another country, it’s ‘war’; when Israel does it, it’s ‘bloodletting’.) Anyone possessed of a critical faculty must at some point have wondered why there’s such a double standard in relation to

Israeli militarism, why missiles fired by the Jewish State are apparently more worthy of condemnation than missiles fired by Washington, London, Paris, the Turks, Assad, or just about anyone else on Earth. Parisians who have generally given a Gallic shrug as French troops have basically retaken Francophone Africa, stamping their boots everywhere from the Central African Republic to Mali to Cote d’Ivoire over the past two years, turned out in their thousands at the weekend to condemn Israeli imperialism and barbarism. Americans who didn’t create much fuss last month when the Obama administration announced the resumption of its drone attacks in Pakistan gathered at the Israeli Embassy in Washington to yell about Israeli murder. (Incredibly, they did this just a day after a US drone attack, the 375th such attack in 10 years, killed at least six people in Pakistan. But hey, Obama-led militarism isn’t as bad as Israeli militarism, and dead Pakistanis, unlike dead Palestinians, don’t deserve to have their photos, names and ages published by the concerned liberals of Twitter.) Meanwhile, hundreds of very angry Brits gathered at the Israeli Embassy in London, bringing traffic to a standstill, clambering on to buses, yelling about murder and savagery, in furious, colourful scenes that were nota-

ble by their absence three years ago when Britain sent planes to pummel Libya. Such are the double standards over Israel, so casually entrenched is the idea that Israeli militarism is more bloody and insane than any other kind of militarism, that many Western liberals now call on their own rulers to condemn or even impose sanctions against Israel. That is, they want the invaders and destroyers of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and elsewhere to rap Israel’s knuckles for bombing Gaza. It’s like asking a great white shark to tell off a seal for eating a fish. America must ‘rein in Israel’, we are told. ‘The international community should intervene to restrain Israel’s army’, says a columnist for the Guardian, and by ‘international community’ he means ‘a meeting of the UN Security Council’ – the Security Council whose permanent members are the US, UK and France, who have done so much to destabilise and devastate vast swathes of the Middle East and North Africa over the past decade; Russia, whose recent military interventions in Georgia and Chechnya suggest it is hardly a devotee of world peace; and China, which might not invade other countries but is pretty adept at brutally suppressing internal dissent. On what planet could nations whose warmongering makes the current assault on Gaza look like a tea party in comparison seriously be asked to ‘rein in’ Israel? On a planet on which Israel is seen as different, as worse than all others, as more criminal and rogue-like than any other state. The double standards were perfectly summed up last week in the response to an Israeli writer who said in the UK Independent that Israel’s attack on Gaza and Continued on Page 15

Anti-Semitism

Continued from Page 14 its ‘genocidal rhetoric’ made her want to burn her Israeli passport. She got a virtual pat on the back from virtually every British activist and commentator who thinks of him or herself as decent. She was hailed as brave. Her article was shared online thousands of times. This was ‘common sense from one Jew’, people tweeted. No one stopped to wonder if maybe they should have burned their British passports after Yugoslavia in 1999, or Afghanistan in 2001, or Iraq in 2003, where often more civilians were killed in one day than have been killed by Israel over the past week. Why should Israel’s bombing of Gaza induce such shame in Israeli citizens (or Jews, as some prefer) that burning their passports is seen as a perfectly sensible and even laudable course of action whereas it’s perfectly okay to continue bounding about the world on a British passport despite the mayhem unleashed by our military forces over the past decade? Because Israel is different; it’s worse; it’s more criminal. Of course, Western double standards on Israel have been around for a while now. They can be seen not only in the fact that Israeli militarism makes people get out of bed and get angry in a way that no other form of militarism does, but also in the ugly boycotting of everything Israeli, whether it’s academics or apples, in a way that the people or products of other militaristic or authoritarian regimes are never treated. But during this latest Israeli assault on Gaza, we haven’t only seen these double standards come back into play – we have also witnessed anti-Israel sentiment becoming more visceral, more emotional, more unhinged and even more prejudiced than it has ever been, to such an extent that, sadly, it is now becoming very difficult to tell where anti-Zionism ends and anti-Semitism begins.
