Over the past few years, municipal retirees have had to anxiously grapple with the prospect that they may have to switch health care plans from the Medigap plan promised to them, to a Medicare Advantage plan. I know that promise — I was made the same promise when I began my career as a public school special education teacher more than years ago. more
Of all the stories that have come out of the Israel-Hamas war, one in particular epitomizes the atrocity, hatred and sadness of such a conflict. That is the story of Yossi Hershkovitz, a former SAR Academy teacher, father of five and husband to Hadas, also a former SAR teacher. more
(Re: “Time to retire, Mr. Dinowitz,” Dec. 21) To the Editor: Adam Stoler’s letter, published in the Dec. 21 issue of The Riverdale Press says, in my opinion, more about Adam Stoler than it does about Assemblyman Dinowitz’s laudatory support of Israel’s right to defend itself against the savage assaults of Hamas, evil beings bent on terror. Hamas’ butchery and rape of infants, women and the elderly on Oct. 7 is indefensible; their slaughter of some 1400 innocent civilians, including the beheading of babies and the proud videotaping by Hamas of their barbarism, marks them as the descendants of Amalek, the Biblical embodiment of evil. And, as called for in the Bible (or Torah), such evil must be eradicated. more
(Re: “Time For Honest Redistricting,” Dec. 21). To the Editor: If Mr. Larry Penner were to engage in “research” (a word foreign to his vocabulary) as opposed to “speaking off the top of his head” (words very familiar to him), he would discover the League of Women Voters has a 256-page policy paper.

To the Editor: “All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes.” more
If anyone had any remaining questions about whether or not climate change exists, all they had to do was look outside last Wednesday and Thursday. That amber smog was not an impending thunderstorm. more
To the Editor: Who is Benjamin F. Jackson, and why would he be trying to unseat Democratic Party District Leader Ramdat Singh? Ramdat is a founding member of the largest and most active Democratic political club in our community — the Unity Democrats. more
To the Editor: We are deeply disappointed by The Riverdale Press’ coverage of the Israel-Hamas War.  We too grieve for those whose lives have been devastated in Israel, as well as for our many Riverdale neighbors who mourn the tragic deaths and displacement of their family and friends.  more
It was only seven months ago when the administration of the International Leadership Charter School broke ground on its middle school one block away from its West 231st Street campus. Evelyn Velez, the school curriculum and instruction director for the new school at the time boasted about how supportive the community was. more
