Lincoln High School Valedictorian Jennifer Yang and Salutatorian Lianka GarciaTejada took some time out of their busy academic schedules to speak to Yonkers Rising
about what it means to be an upcoming LHS
graduate. The students spoke about how helpful the teachers at their school are and how they
sincerely want to help the students become successful in their lives.
Jennifer will be graduating this year with
a 97.91 grade-point average, and Lianka will
be graduating with a 96.26 GPA. When asked
about the teachers they admire most, Jennifer
expressed her appreciation for Dr. Kumari JoContinued on Page 9
Sacred Heart Players
Present ‘In the Heights’
By Dan Murphy
As the details of the state budget passed
earlier this month reverberate in City Hall and at
the Board of Education in Yonkers, stakeholders,
educators and city leaders agree there is one piece
missing that Yonkers needs to avoid cuts to the
Yonkers Public Schools – $28 million.
Yonkers received $28 million in additional
state funding last year from New York State as
part of an inter-municipal agreement to help close
a budget hole in YPS created by overspending and
overestimating state aid. The city was hopeful of
receiving that $28 million again, and YPS Superintendent Dr. Michael Yarzulo included it in his
bare bones proposed budget.
The question now becomes whether Gov.
Andrew Cuomo and the State Budget Office, who
worked with Mayor Mike Spano and city officials
last year to provide YPS with the $28 million last
year, will agree to provide additional funds again
this year.
Under this year’s state budget, YPS received
about $22 million in additional funding from the
state, which came from an increase in the aid formula, an elimination of part of the Gap Elimination Adjustment, bullet aid and $20 million for
capital projects for YPS.
Even with the $22 million, YPS needs $28
million more – and the call has begun across the
city to try and push for the additional funds.
Spano presented his proposed budget for the
City of Yonkers on Wednesday. The mayor’s budget includes a $28 million hole for YPS, in hopes
that the state will provide the funding before a fi-
nal city budget is due July 1.
“At this point, New York State has yet to reauthorize $28 million in funding it provided to the
school district last year,” said Spano. “The State
Legislature is in session for two more months so it
is my hope we will continue to work in unison as
a city as we head back to Albany to support our local delegation. I ask all parties for a reset – our administrators and teachers, our parents and PTAs,
all our unions and other education stakeholders – so they can join in our fight for additional
funding that is so essential to our school district’s
budget and in providing our students equal, if not
better education opportunities than our neighboring communities. We have work to do, let’s do it
together.”
Yarzulo has led the charge in demanding the
$28 million more in state aid.
“In every meeting and correspondence with
the governor’s staff from last fall through March,
Mayor Spano and I have made it perfectly clear
that Yonkers must continue to receive the $28 million that the governor provided this year for the
implementation of the IMA with the City of Yonkers,” he said. “I informed them that the impact
would be devastating for our students. The $28
million must become reoccurring revenue. The
governor disappointed me, as he did not recognize
that the $28 million is an essential part of our budget.”
The Republican majority on the City Council
blamed the $28 million budget hole on the state
delegation from Yonkers.

Sacred Heart High School’s Drama Club, Sacred Heart Players, will present “In the Heights,”
the universal story of a vibrant community in New
York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – a
place where the coffee from the corner bodega is
light and sweet, the windows are always open and
the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations
of music.
Conceived by, and with music and lyrics by
Lin-Manuel Miranda, “In the Heights” is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for best musical, best
score, best choreography and best orchestrations.
Director Rose Ann Di Gennaro said not only
is this show a favorite of hers, but that these young
actors have been loving the story, dance and music
since they first saw and/or heard the music.
“They were so eager for a chance to perform
in this production, we ran song and dance classes
last summer to prepare,” she said. “In the stifling
July heat, we were in the hall, dancing and singing
our hearts out, getting ready for auditions. They
knew all the lyrics before we started in July.”
“In the Heights” will be performed Friday and

Teresa Mautone Tortora
Teresa Mautone Tortora celebrates her 103rd birthday celebrates at Rory Dolan’s on McLean
Avenue.
Rising Newspapers wishes 103-year-old
Teresa Mautone Tortora a happy birthday!
A lifelong resident of Westchester, and
Yonkers, Teresa remains forever young with a
captivating smile and a cheerful attitude. Family and friends of Teresa celebrated her birthday
at Rory Dolan’s on McLean Avenue in Yonkers.
Teresa has loved music and the opera
since she was a little girl. She worked at Farand, a bomb-sights factory in Mount Vernon,
during WWII and went back to her job during
the Korean War – a “Rosy the Riveter” of her
own.
She confesses that there are no good rea-
Children enjoy activities on the Science Barge.
No amount of wind (and there was plenty!) could curb the enthusiasm of the cheerful
throngs on hand to celebrate the start of the
season for the Science Barge last Saturday afternoon. Nearly 250 people joined in the festivities, with Mayor Mike Spano doing the honors
of opening the gangplank alongside barge skipper Bob Walters.
Youth from toddlers to young teens tried out
the boot toss, courtesy of LL Bean; potted basil
plants; pet a floppy-eared bunny and a huge turtle brought by Greg Wechgelaer of Greenburgh
Nature Center; had their faces painted by Gorton
High senior Samantha Robinson; and flew kites
high in the sky with Flyin’ Brian Cavallaro.
The Nepperhan Community Drum Band
added pomp to the occasion, with its usual
energetic, well-choreographed performance;
New York Power Authority gave away drawstring bags with school supplies and reusable
totes; and InteROBbang Productions’ Jahni Rae
played pop classics on deck, while children sat
elbow-to-elbow building Legos, or trying their
stamina on the ConEdison Energy Bike.
The Science Barge is always a destination
for visitors far and wide, and Saturday was no
exception. People from throughout Westchester, Rockland and Dutchess counties, as well as
the four boroughs, Connecticut and Long Island
journeyed to the Yonkers waterfront for opening day.
In addition to weekend visitors, the barge
hosts school groups, offering programs that support science curriculum for grades one through
12. This year, Education Director Jennifer Sloan
has hired three new educators and added two
new STEM programs to the spring schedule.
Another new feature is the Education Pavilion, an enclosure to be built late spring on the
south end of the barge. The pavilion will provide
a protected space for school and camp groups,
and free up precious greenhouse space, allowing
room for additional innovative growing systems.
The Science Barge is a program of Groundwork Hudson Valley. Next up for Groundwork is
the April 18 Great Saw Mill River Cleanup, with
multiple sites throughout Yonkers, from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. For details and locations, visit http://
groundworkhv.eventbrite.com.
From May 1 to 3 will be Yonkers Arts
Weekend, produced with the City of Yonkers.
This is a city-wide celebration of the arts, with
hundreds of visual and performing artists and
arts workshops for all ages – all free and open
to the public. For regular updates, visit: www.

sons for her longevity, genetics apart, since she
lived a normal life; certainly it helped a bit not
to be a drinker or a smoker.
Teresa said she believes that American
ingenuity in improving products is what made
our country competitive – and that is the direction we have to take again, since relying on
China for just about everything is destroying
the texture of this country.

Yonkers On the Move
Walk Season Steps Oﬀ
Walkers depart City Hall and begin another Yonkers On the Move campaign.
Yonkers Deputy Mayor Steve Levy welcomed participants and cut the start ribbon for the
April 9 Yonkers On the Move walk season kickoff at City Hall plaza. YOM is a citywide initiative and campaign promoting a healthier active
lifestyle, with walking as the core activity.
With a marked chill in the air, the kick-off
ceremony and walk was well attended and included community leaders and residents, and was followed by a walk from City Hall to the Riverfront
Library and back (about 1 mile).
Participants learned about this year’s 2015
Yonkers On the Move WALK 20 Challenge. It
consists of three walk challenge phases extending from April through October. Everyone can
take part – it’s intergenerational, at no cost and
individuals and organizations can tap into Yonkers
WALK 20 to foster their health and exercise goals.
Levy noted that the city was just named one
of the top 10 healthiest cities in the U.S. by Livability.com. Additionally, he praised YOM for motivating individuals to have fun and exercise via
regular walks, and said challenge miles reported
are tabulated and YOM hopes to top the 9,002
city-wide miles contributed last year by surpassing 12,000 in 2015.
“Collaboration and the brisk walk kept everyone warm and energized despite the chilly
weather,” said YOM Chairperson Brunilda Fernandez of the event.
“If occasionally included in a business agenda, a walk such as today’s provides a stress free
environment to talk in an open and non-postured
way that delivers positive results,” added Yonkers
YMCA CEO Shawyn Paterson-Howard.
City Councilman Chris Johnson of District
One, who participated in the kick-off walk and
concurrent YMCA REACH meeting, said: “When
community organizations come together for a
common cause, good things can and will happen.”
Dan Lipka, Yonkers Downtown Waterfront
BID also participated in the walk and has invited
YOM to host two walks during the April 22 Yonkers Earth Day celebration (www.YonkersDowntown.com). The YOM historic walk starts at Philipse Manor at noon and the environmental walk at
3:30 p.m., starting at the Riverfront Library. More
details will be available on the YOM website calendar.
YOM Project Manager Carl Gessman explained that the land area of Yonkers is approximately 20 square miles, and those who record
walking a total of 20 miles or more on the YOM
Mile Card – available at the Riverfront or Will libraries or online at www.walkyom.org – during
Challenge phase one, April 9 through May 31,
will be invited to attend the phase one recognition
event (date to be determined).
For more information, e-mail [email protected], visit www.walkyom.org or
call 914-441-2078.
YOM is sponsored by the Community Planning Council Yonkers in partnership with the City
of Yonkers, 55 plus and Family Service Society
Yonkers (Community For All Ages and United
Way of Westchester and Putnam).

Op-Ed: Bring Our Police &
Communities Closer Together
By frank Spotorno
As all Americans watch with sadness at the
recent events in North Charleston, Ferguson and
Staten Island, we should understand and realize
that our police officers and the people in the communities they serve need to come closer together.
When I was young, we use to have Police
Athletic League picnics and barbeques, and occasions where we can interact with our policemen and women, and learn that the police officer
is our friend.
In my hometown Yonkers,
Mayor Mike Spano has created a “Stop and
Shake” initiative, which encourages this type of
positive interaction, and the Yonkers PAL does a
great job with their programs and services.
But due to budget cuts, these types of programs are too few in our nation.
What we need is a national day of celebration for our first responders in communities
across the country, and a true celebration of the
overwhelming number of good police officers
and the diverse communities they serve – which
makes our country great.
We are no longer investing in the povertystricken communities that now see a rash of police shootings, and the real underlying cause for
the troubles in many of our cities, towns and villages exist in the high rates of poverty and unemployment. With 42 percent of Americans living
in poverty, something must be done to address
the hopes and dreams of those who cannot find a
job and who now occupy the new soup kitchens
of America in the form of an EBT card to pay for
their groceries.
And the underlying cause of poverty is the
loss of millions of manufacturing American jobs
over three decades of outsourcing by American
corporations and from free trade agreements
that have allowed these jobs to leave our shores.
A lack of jobs in many communities has led to
crime and despair.
Congress is to blame for our loss of jobs and
for our national struggle to bring the police and
Frank Spotorno
the community together. By not properly funding our nation’s inner cities and small communities, the resulting poverty and decay has resulted
in police officers choosing to live outside the
communities they serve.
If our leaders in Washington can’t sit down
and work out a “grand bargain” that raises the
minimum wage, taxes billionaire hedge fund
owners at the same tax rate all of us pay, and
stops giving tax breaks to corporations that move
jobs overseas, then they haven’t done their job.
Congress also needs to take a serious look
at our defense budget and our funding of overseas nations that are no longer an ally of the U.S.
Those dollars need to be used here at home to
invest to repair the fears a growing majority of
our people have with law enforcement.
If a family lives on a minimum wage salary, they are living in poverty, and the American taxpayers foot the bill. Increasing funding
to welfare and food stamps isn’t the answer. The

Bella is a friendly pup.
The Yonkers Animal Shelter has many pets available for adoption.
Bella is such a beautiful girl, and smart as they come; a volunteer
was offering her a treat and asked her to sit, and the next thing you
know, she was offering paw in several different ways.
She is 3 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. Bella has been
at YAS for about two weeks and every day staff learn something new
about this young lady. She was already dog tested and, yes, Bella is dog
friendly and loves to play with her canine companions. However, she
is not a cat fan.
Bella has pretty good leash manners and listens when asked to do
something. She will make a fine family dog and would love a place
with a yard for some exercise.
Visit Bella at the Yonkers Animal Shelter, 1000 Ridge Hill Blvd.,
between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays and noon and 4 p.m. weekends.
For more information, call 914-377-6730 during business hours or
201-981-3215 at any time, or email [email protected].
Yonkers Historical
Society Announces
Book Launch Party
The Yonkers Historical Society is celebrating the release of its
latest book, “Yonkers in the Twentieth Century,” on Thursday, April
23 at 6 p.m. at the Yonkers Brewery, 92 Main St. The event is chaired
by Trustees Andrew Romano and Terry Hennelly.
The Yonkers Brewery is based in the Yonkers Trolley Barn, listed
on the National Register of Historic Places as the last trolley barn in
Westchester. This outstanding example of the renaissance revival style
has soaring 20-foot ceilings, wood paneling and exposed brick.
This event will be an evening of good conversation, light fare and
craft beer brewed at Yonkers’ newest and hottest historical landmark.
“Yonkers in the Twentieth Century” chronicles the rebirth of the
fourth-largest city in New York State. Once an industrial powerhouse,
the city’s factories turned out essential goods that helped the United
States win two world wars. Following World War II, the industrial base
of Yonkers eroded as companies moved away. Its later years witnessed
the striving to once again become the pre-eminent city on the Hudson
River.
Yonkers began its rebuilding and regeneration with the historic
waterfront.
Marilyn Weigold is professor of history at Pace University and
author of several books, including “The Long Island Sound: A History of Its People, Places and Environment.” Several members of the
society assisted in the research and preparation of her latest book, truly
making it a work of love of Yonkers history.
“‘Yonkers in the Twentieth Century’ provides readers an in-depth
perspective of our city that has not yet been told,” said Mayor Mike
Spano. “From the glory days at the dawn of the 20th century to its later
turbulent decades, Marilyn Weigold thoughtfully takes us through the
vibrant history of our city, affording us the knowledge needed to appreciate our past so to best plan for our future. I encourage those who
have an insatiable interest and pride in Yonkers to explore Weigold’s
comprehensive narrative and take a step back in time.”
James Landy, chairman of Hudson Valley Bank, commented after
reading the book: “Yonkers has such an interesting and vibrant history
that it needs to be preserved and told. This book is a major accomplishment providing a comprehensive look at the life of the city and will
leave a lasting legacy for residents, historians and all those who appreciate and value knowing how we got to where we are today.”
There will be a limited number of books for sale that evening.

Yonkers United
Continued from Page 1
“Once again, Yonkers has been sold a false bill of goods, and by
cutting $28 million from our funding, our Albany delegation has all but
put the nail in the school budget’s coffin for 2015,” said Council President Liam McLaughlin. “Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the alleged Democratic leader of the Senate, George Latimer and our delegation have
failed to deliver for the City of Yonkers. Forget pre-kindergarten, forget
sports, librarians, guidance counselors, arts and music. According to our
own duly-elected state delegation, in Yonkers, everything must go.”
The governor’s proposed budget for this year did not contain any
language to address this massive hole in the YPS budget, even though
the State Constitution mandates Albany must provide each child with a
sound basic education. The final state budget, adopted late and after the
April 1 deadline, did not re-appropriate the $28 million, which council
members say is a failure on the part of Yonkers’ state legislative delegation.
“Once again it becomes a smoke and mirrors act by our state delegation, who on the one hand will state they have increased school funding while on the other hand failed miserably to totally address the needs
of Yonkers students,” said Majority Leader John Larkin. “Andrea Stewart Cousins, who holds the position as the Democratic Senate minority
conference leader, stated she did not have a seat at the table. We would
have expected that as the Senate minority leader she would have addressed the needs of Yonkers schools directly to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“How unbelievable that a state spokesperson for the governor
would say that they cannot be expected to financially bail out Yonkers
each year,” he continued. “We are not asking for a bailout; we are asking
for what is rightfully ours as taxpayers. Our state delegation – both Senate and Assembly members, along with the governor – should provide
what is our constitutional right: a fair and equitable education for all our
students. Anything less is not acceptable.”
Thanks to Senate Republicans, Yonkers did receive a base $13 million increase in foundation aid, plus $6 million restored through a partial
restoration of the GEA, a 5-percent take back of school funding implemented by Stewart-Cousins and the Senate Democrats when that party
had full control of all three houses in 2010. But without the $28 million
from last year, this means school funding has been cut in Yonkers by
$8.4 million this year.
“Last year, our Albany representatives failed to close the gap, while
putting our budget in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, and we heard
we should be ‘thankful’ for the great job they did,” said Councilmember
Mike Breen. :Yet this time around, again, they couldn’t deliver. They
left us holding a $28 million dollar bill and it is our children who will
suffer.”
Councilmember Dennis Shepherd added: “The abject failure by
Sen. George Latimer, Assemblywoman Shelley Mayer and our fearless
leader Sen. Stewart-Cousins would almost be comical, were it not that
the blood of Yonkers Public Schools is on their hands. When will we
learn our lesson that we can’t expect a different result if we keep sending the same people to Albany?”
The Yonkers state delegation has sine responded to what it calls a
partisan attack from council Republicans.
“Yonkers continues to be poorly served by Republican council
members who sat on the sidelines during the recent state budget battles,”
said Latimer. “Never once did I hear from them about the budget. Now
they show energy and drive when it comes time to attack Democrats. I
work closely with Republicans and Democrats in 14 other municipalities in Westchester in a cooperative fashion; only with the Republican
City Council members in Yonkers does the theater of politics come first.
It’s always politics above people.”
The four members of the state delegation blasted back after a release appeared on the City Council Majority’s website, laying blame
for Yonkers’ shortfall on state Democrats, and avoiding any mention of
the GOP Senate’s unwillingness to lift a finger for Yonkers – New York
State’s fourth-largest city.
Assemblyman Pretlow explained: “The Assembly Democrats
fought to secure Yonkers Public Schools as much funding as possible.
It is completely disingenuous of the Yonkers Republican City Council
members to suggest we did otherwise. Their shill partisan attacks do not
serve the city or its residents.”
“It was our delegation, both senators and Assembly members, that
helped deliver $19 million more in state school aid (an increase of 8.9
percent, over last year and the greatest percentage of the ‘Big Five’ cities) with more than 50 percent of the GEA restored, as well as increased
foundation aid,” added Mayer. “In addition, the Assembly Democrats
added $20 million in capital funding and $2 million in bullet aid for the
Yonkers Public Schools. Further, two of our schools – Roosevelt and
Cross Hill Academy – will be eligible for additional funding based on a
$75 million add for struggling schools.
“I utterly reject the unjustified and ugly tone of the Republicans’
release and know that the Yonkers community expects better from its
elected officials,” she said.
City Council Democrats also issued a statement rebutting the council Republicans’ comments.
“As the city begins its own budget deliberations, we, the Democratic minority on the Yonkers City Council, want to make sure we remain focused on one of our most important fiduciary responsibilities –
ensuring our public school district has the resources it needs to educate
our children,” they stated. “The council minority feels name calling and
finger pointing at the Yonkers state delegation is not going to solve the
projected budget gap for Yonkers schools. The Yonkers schools face a
massive budget shortfall due to last year’s discovery of a $55 million
accounting error.”
Sabatino added: “In February, I corresponded with my Republican
colleagues on the Yonkers City Council, asking them to join me to meet
with the state delegation, but received no response. Now they have decided to engage in an unprofessional tone with partisan attacks against
our state delegation, instead of trying to find solutions for our children.
If they were truly interested in advocating on behalf of Yonkers children, they could have done their part by going to Albany and working
with the state legislators who heard the pleas and spoke up on behalf of
Yonkers students.”
This year’s state budget garnered $19 million in state school aid, an
8.9 percent increase, $2 million in bullet aid and $20 million for capital
improvements in the city’s schools.
“Our Republican counterparts on the City Council have done nothing to work with our state delegation on behalf of Yonkers,” said Councilman Johnson. “They didn’t even meet with their fellow Republicans
in the State Senate to stress the needs of our children. None of them met
with anyone in Albany. Instead, the blame game is played, which we
know benefits no one – especially the children we should be fighting to
educate.”
Councilwoman Pineda added: “We do need more funding from the
governor, but the press release by our Republican colleagues did not
help us achieve that goal. It only made matters worse and lessened our
chances of obtaining additional funds by further alienating Albany.”
“Any conversation that deviates from our children takes attention
away from the real issues,” stated Karen Beltran, Yonkers Council of
PTA/PTSAs president. “The New York State Delegation in the Senate and Assembly were supportive and communicative with parents
throughout the budget process, however, others in Albany were not supportive of additional funding – including the $28 million we desperately
need. Shifting of blame has never resulted in positive results and all
must work collaboratively in the best interest of the children.”
A rally to “Save Our Schools” in being held April 22 at 4 p.m. at
the Riverfront Library.

Bethenny Frankel &
Skinnygirl Cocktails
at Stew Leonard’s
Cocktail “fixologist,” New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur and television personality Bethenny Frankel will visit
Stew Leonard’s Wines in Yonkers to sign bottles from her Skinnygirl Cocktails line Saturday, April 25 from noon to 2 p.m. during the
store’s spring grand tasting event.
During the event, Stew Leonard’s wine specialists will provide samples of select labels from Skinnygirl Cocktails, including
Sweet’arita ($11.99/750ml or $15.99/1.75l). This is the margarita
to complement your sweeter side! Skinnygirl® Sweet’arita is made
with blue agave silver tequila that makes for the perfect blend of
sweet and citrus. It’s a slightly sweeter taste in a low-cal margarita
that will keep glasses rising for more.
The Skinnygirl Margarita ($10.99) is the one that started it all.
Made from the same premium blue agave silver tequila and lightly
sweetened with agave nectar, the original Skinnygirl Margarita is still
delicious and low-calorie.
The Spicy Lime Margarita ($11.99) is like the classic margarita,
but with a little kick. Some great zesty lime flavors and a tangy finish
makes this a wonderful poolside sipper!
The Pinot Noir ($9.99) has notes of juicy fruits and toasted oaks.
Each sip is like a bite of dark cherry and a kiss of warm vanilla, with
a long silky finish.
The Pinot Grigio ($9.99) is lightly sweet and perfectly crisp.
This Pinot Grigio speaks for herself – she’s the perfect complement
to your party, sure to please even the pickiest palate with her bright,
delicately sweet flavor combination.
The Cabernet Sauvignon ($9.99) is a warm, full-bodied wine.
Flavored with notes of dark fruit, this sophisticated cabernet is complemented by every lady’s most irresistible indulgence – chocolate.
The Moscato ($9.99) is a bronzed Italian beauty that can spruce
up any soiree with her sweet and chic style. Lightly effervescent, this
low-cal wine slightly sparkles with notes of pear, peach and mango
for a refreshing, yet delicate sip.
The White Cranberry Cosmo ($11.99/750ml or $18.99/1.75l) is
a sassy take on a classic, combining hints of orange essence, subtle
lime, berry fruit notes and cranberry into a natural, agave-sweetened
wonder.
The second hour of Bethenny’s bottle signing will coincide with
Stew’s wines spring grand tasting event, which will run from 1 to 5
p.m. that day. More than 50 wines from around the world will be
tasted alongside a menu of specialty foods prepared by Stew Leonard’s chefs.
Customers are asked to purchase at least one bottle of Skinnygirl® Cocktails in order to get in line to meet Bethenny (up to a
maximum of six bottles per customer). Due to time constraints, she is
unable to sign other memorabilia at this event.
Stew Leonard’s Wines is located at 1 Stew Leonard Dr., Yonkers. For more information, call 914-375-4713 or visit www.stewleonards.com.
Yonkers’ Bravest
neck.
As Clarke held the head of the baby, Quintano put his finger
between the baby’s neck and the umbilical cord and immediately
the baby started to cry. They then suctioned the baby’s nose and
mouth, un-wrapped the umbilical cord from her neck, and the baby
was then fully delivered.
Empress medics arrived 10 minutes later and patient care was
turned over.
Engine 304 was originally dispatched on an activated alarm
seconds before this call, and Chief John Flynn redirected E-304 to
take on the maternity call, and those precious few minutes likely
resulted in the positive outcome of this story.
The woman and baby were rushed to the hospital, where both
are doing well.
Proudly serving the City of Yonkers

Yonkers’ Best
hal, who teaches advanced placement chemistry, and Lianka expressed her appreciation for Dr. Angela Arias, who teaches Spanish
literature.
Jennifer and Lianka spoke about their mutual love for science,
specifically for chemistry and biology, and said some of the best
things about science at LHS is that it is interactive and hands-on,
and the science teachers encourage students to think and figure
things out for themselves.
Jennifer has taken a number of college credit classes throughout her four years at LHS, including Century Honors English, geometry, global history and geography, SAT II biology and SAT II
chemistry, AP U.S. history, world history, chemistry, English language, physics, English literature, statistics and classes with the
Academy of Finance.
Lianka has taken Century Honors chemistry and economics
and government, AP English literature, Spanish literature and Spanish language, and a psychology class at Monroe College during the
academic semester from February to April.
With such busy academic schedules, Yonkers Rising was impressed to see how both Jennifer and Lianka managed to partake
in a number of extracurricular activities, and is proud to see them
carried out quite successfully.
When she is not studying for her classes, Jennifer plays the role
of president of the National Honors Society, president of the Business Honor Society, president of Youth-to-Youth, vice president of
Crafts and Confections and vice president of the Latino-Americano
Club. She is the founder of “Tutors to the Rescue” and a member of
student government and Habitat for Humanity.
Outside of the school, Jennifer is a volunteer at the Lanza
Learning Center and the Young People’s day camp, as well as a
tutor for Yonkers Academy (an online program) and a member of
the Her Honor program, where she works at Yonkers Partners In
Education and AVON during the school week from 3 to 5 p.m. daily.
Lianka also showcases her achievements and extracurricular
activities as a member of the National Honors Society, the Latino
Americano Club, the Prom Committee and the Ambassador Club,
in addition to being a tutor for peer mentoring and a volunteer and
facilitator for the parent-teacher association. When she is not participating in activities at school, Lianka spends her time volunteering at the local public library back in the Dominican Republic, as
part of a Hispanic dance group and the Youth Ministry group at her
local church.
Jennifer has applied and been accepted to Drexel, St. Johns,
Rochester Institute of Technology New York Institute of Technology, the University of Hartford, Mercy College, Long Island University Post, LIU Brooklyn, Canisius College, Hofstra, Desales University, Drew College, College of Mount Saint Vincent’s, SUNY
Geneseo and SUNY Oswego. She is planning on attending St.
John’s University and will enter the physician’s assistant program,
working toward a PA degree.
She would eventually like to work her way up toward a medical degree and owning her own practice, as well as running a free
medical clinic.
Lianka, who is interested in obtaining a master’s degree in
Spanish literature and education, and eventually a Ph.D. in Spanish
literature, has applied to Binghamton, St. John’s University, Manhattan College, SUNY Old Westbury, SUNY Plattsburgh, SUNY
Potsdam, CUNY City College, Lehman College, Hunter College,
Baruch College, the College of St. Rose and Mercy College. Upon
receiving acceptance, she would like to attend Manhattan College
this fall.
When asked what they love most about their high school, Jennifer spoke about a number of aspects that appealed strongly to her.
She explained that the Academy of Finance Program was filled with
people that ultimately became her second family, a “home away
from home.” At LHS, she said she felt as though she had truly made
a name for herself, and that everyone – from the staff and the teachers, to the administrative staff and the principal – cared deeply for
her and her colleagues and classmates.
It is because of their attention, helping hands and sense of caring that Jennifer had decided to enter the medical field, which will
allow her to live on the idea of helping people, and can’t imagine
herself simply in a teaching field.
Linaka spoke about similar aspects about the environment at
LHS. She reminisced how the teachers always took the time to explain themselves, and ensured that the curriculum was well understood by everyone in each class.
“You can tell that they have a lot of passion for what they do,”
she said, adding that the activities the school hosts – along with the
staff that help to make each day a productive one – ensure a feeling of belonging and safety, which is extremely important to many
students embarking on a new journey.
The two leave their fellow classmates and friends with a few
words of advice.
“First and foremost, you must believe in yourselves,” said Jennifer. “When others are putting you down and you don’t believe that
you will be able to make it, believe instead that you can and you
will, and in this manner, you will make it.”
Lianka added: “Never give up, even though the circumstances
may be against you, and believe that if something happens, no matter it be good or bad, believe that you can pursue what you really
want from life. Remember to be happy, and to make those who surround you just as happy as you are.”
Congratulations to Jennifer and Lianka, and best of luck toward your futures!
Op-Ed:
answer is to encourage American corporations to bring our jobs home.
Just like our police and first responders need to reach out more to
the people they serve, our leaders in Washington need to sit down and
work out a way to stand up for the American who hasn’t seen any of
the economic recovery since 2008.
In the movie “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” Jimmy Stewart
(Smith) tried to fight for a bill that would have funded the Boy Rangers program so that any child, regardless of gender or race, can enjoy
a summer camp every year. The bill went down with 96 senators opposed.
That movie was in 1939, but do we see the same story playing in
Washington today?
Remember, while our police and first responders must be held
accountable for their actions, so should our elected officials in Washington. We need congress to set aside it squabbles and rebuild our
communities with jobs and respect for young adults and our first responders. We can’t allow a large portion of Americans to be fearful of
those sworn to protect them.
Let us vow to find a way to bring our police and community together, and lets also find a way to make sure every American has what
I had – a chance at a job and the American dream.
Join me in this effort by visiting www.bringourjobshome.com,
and help us find someone who will go to Washington and fight for us.
Frank Spotorno is a small businessman and an American manufacturer of elevator cabs. He is the founder of Bringourjobshome.com.

Yonkers Historical Society Awards Mangold Scholarships
The Yonkers Historical Society’s Scholarship Committee recently announced the winners of the 2015 Patricia Mangold Scholarship
Awards, which will be presented at the society’s
annual meeting Sunday, April 19 at 1 p.m. at the
Will Library, 1500 Central Park Ave., Yonkers.
The Patricia Mangold Scholarship will be
presented to Fordham Prep senior Michael Lyons, son of Michael and Maureen Lyons, and
the Patricia Mangold Merit Award will be presented to Andrew Mrose, son of Ulrich Mrose
and Midori Fukishima. Andrew is a senior at
Yonkers High School.
These awards are presented annually to
high school seniors residing in Yonkers who
have demonstrated both an educational and a
significant personal interest in Yonkers history.
Award recipients are selected by the Education
Committee, of which Darryl Mack is chairman.
Additional committee members include Gerard
Colaio, Mina Crasson, Eddie Dee, Peg Murphy
and Deirdre Rylander.
After a brief business meeting, historian
and genealogist Joe Santacroce will premiere
the file “The Hudson-Fulton Celebration of
1909.”
Santacroce’s love for history, his family
history in the Hudson Valley, and then learning
there were very few films and videos documenting the Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909, led
Joe to decide this should be corrected.
And he wanted to be the one to do it.
He began to search locally and nationally
for images and resources on the 1909 celebration, and put together the materials gathered
into this inaugural presentation on what arguably was the biggest and best celebration the
Hudson Valley has ever experienced. “The
Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909” truly is
the culmination of his passion for local history.
For more information, call the Yonkers
Historical Society at 914-961-8940. The annual membership meeting is free and open to
the public.

Girl-Up is a UN Foundation program that
envisions a world where all girls, no matter
where they live, will have the opportunity to
become educated, healthy, safe, counted and
positioned to be the next generation of leaders.
Sayidana Brannan Douglas, a senior at YHS,
was inspired to start this club after participating in UN activities with STSI, over the years,
along with the Eleanor Legacy Girls Leadership Worldwide Camp.
Reynoso, a Spanish teacher at YHS, serves
as the Girl Up Club’s faculty liaison.
Members from both groups were “junior
ambassadors” for the day, learning about the
Beijing Platform for Action, and gaining valuable insight on critical issues affecting the girl
child globally, including education, especially
related to STEM; the elimination of trafficking
and all forms of violence against girls; poverty
reduction; and gender equality – to name a few.
The afternoon workshop, which included
area students, was titled “Beijing+20: Intergenerational Voices of Women and Girls in the African Diaspora and Beyond.” Cheryl Brannan,
STSI’s founder and CEO, acted as moderator.

and girls in the U.S. She said black women
have made significant strides in education, as
the gap in high school graduation rates has
dropped significantly. Black women constitute
66 percent of all African-Americans receiving
a bachelor of science degree and 65 percent
of all blacks obtaining a PhD. However, black
women constitute only 2 percent of all scientists and engineers.
Black women, who have the highest workforce participation rates, receive the lowest
wages and represent a major portion of the
working poor; senior black women have the
lowest household income of any demographic
group and are five times more likely to suffer
poverty than a white male.
Sirmans also suggested various remedies,
including amending the Voting Rights Act,
Section 4 and 5; increase the federal minimum
wage to $10.10 per hour; increasing funding
and support for STEM girls around the world,
and demanding responsible and comprehensive
public educational systems; full utilization of
the Lilly Ledbetter Act in the U.S. and support for universal equal employment policies
and income equality; passing an immigration
reform that will assist African, Caribbean and
Hispanic women immigrants obtain citizenship
for themselves and their families; and supporting and disseminating information about the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act, signed by
President Barack Obama last year, which aims
to identify potential victims, support victims,
and prosecute perpetrators.
One of the student survey testimonials
from the day stated: “I loved how informational the day was and, of course, inspiring to
students and adults, as well.”
“STSI holds special consultative status
and is an official partner with the UN Economic and Social Council and the Department of Public Information, which is why we
host events during this session annually,” said
Cheryl Brannan, STAI founder and CEO. “We
were pleased to sponsor local student ‘junior
ambassadors’ as part of our conference delegation again this year. We feel it is important for
students to understand there is a much bigger
world out there and that they should think globally and act locally.”

exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women. It is the principal global policy-making body. Every year, representatives of
member states gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York to evaluate progress on
gender equality, identify challenges, set global
standards and formulate concrete policies to
promote gender equality and advancement of
women worldwide.

Yonkers Arts Weekend
Hits the Streets May 1-3
Firefighters Honored at
Annual Dinner-Dance
Black Taxi
The city will host its second annual Yonkers
Arts Weekend, a celebration of the thriving and diverse arts community in the City of Yonkers, from
Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3.
Throughout the weekend, more than 150 local, regional and international artists, painters,
photographers, sculptors and musicians will converge on Yonkers to showcase their work, making
it the largest arts festival in Westchester County.
“Yonkers is quickly being noticed as a destination city for artists to live, work and exhibit,”
said Mayor Mike Spano. “From renowned artists
such as Daniel Wolf, Maya Lin and David Hammons, to the artistic institutions that built Yonkers’
arts community to those now just emerging on the
arts scene, Yonkers has a great story to tell – and
we’re telling it at Yonkers Arts Weekend.”
As part of this year’s Yonkers Arts Weekend,
the city will feature artists including grit-pop recording artists Black Taxi; acclaimed graffiti artist Crash; the Color Run; world-famous Naomi
Shelton and the Gospel Queens; as well as electric
dance under the pier, live street art, pop-up galleries and free art workshops.
“We are proud to have been asked by the City
of Yonkers to participate in this event,” said John
Crash Matos, co-owner of the Bronx-based art
gallery WallWorks New York. “The opportunity
to showcase local and international artists is what
WallWorks is all about. We honor the tradition of
doing site-specific projects and engaging with the
community, especially local youth. As a new gallery, it is an honor to be included in this event!”
“I believe Yonkers is the next art Mecca
where creatives alike will flock!,” added Roddy
Wildeman of Torché Galerie. “There’s a progressive artist community here with a movement that is
rapidly growing and I’m excited to be invited back
to the second Yonkers Art Weekend!”
There will be art venues throughout the
downtown waterfront area and Van der Donck
Park, as well as at Untermyer Gardens, YoHo Artist Studios, the Hudson River Museum and Sarah
Lawrence College.
Performances, workshops and other activities will run continuously throughout the weekend
and are all free for children, teens and adults. The
city will provide free bus transportation that will
shuttle visitors to each venue.
Yonkers Arts Weekend is produced by the
City of Yonkers with Groundwork Hudson Valley.
“This year’s Yonkers Arts Weekend will
be one the largest and most exciting Urban Arts
Festivals that Westchester County has ever seen,”
said Haifa Bint-Kadi, event producer/manager at
Groundwork Hudson Valley. “We have been inundated with artists and performers who all want to
be a part of this arts festival. Major street artists,
international performers and an electric dance under the pier are all happening on the Hudson and
Saw Mill Rivers in the heart of downtown. The
city has made all of this free to the entire community. It doesn’t get better or more dynamic than
this!”
“Yonkers Arts Weekend is emblematic of the
fact that the City of Yonkers is the place where the
arts are on the move,” added Janet Langsam, CEO
of ArtsWestchester.
“The 12th annual Open Studio and YOHO,
where more than 80 artists have studios, have both
grown and are now bigger and more vibrant than
ever,” said George Huang, owner of 540/578 Nepperhan Avenue (YoHo Studios). “The public will
be very interested to see the expansion of the arts
in Yonkers with many more of the neighboring
buildings in the up-and-coming Carpet Mills Arts
District, being occupied by artists, artisans and
creative industrial users.”
To date, Yonkers Arts Weekend events include
a kickoff at YoHo Galleries on Tuesday, April 28
from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at 578 & 540 Nepperhan
Ave.; and an artist showcase at the Riverfront Art
Gallery in the Riverfront Library, 1 Larkin Center
on Thursday, April 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
On Friday, May 1 from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Mayor
Mike Spano will host an “opening night party” at
28 Wells Ave.; and on Saturday, May 2 from 10
a.m. to noon there will be performances, workshops and pop-up galleries throughout the city.
A YOFI “after party” will take place Sunday,

Yonkers Boy Scout Troop 4, the city’s oldest Boy Scout Troop, proudly marches up McLean
Avenue.
For the first time in its 105-year history,
the “First and Finest” Boy Scout Troop 4
stepped off in the 60th St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 21 in Yonkers. As the troop
followed the PEARLS Hawthorne School up
McLean Avenue, it was supported by Scoutmaster Douglas Cummings, himself an Eagle
Scout, as well as parents and troop committee
members.
Carrying the American flag was Assistant
Scoutmaster Paul Szumny, an Eagle Scout and
freshman at SUNY Albany. Bearing the Troop
4 flag was Scout First Class Brandon Willingham, and representing the troop were Life
Scout Brendan McPartlan and Star Scout John
Sheridan.
Firefighters, family, friends and elected officials joined together to attend Yonkers Firefighters Local 628’s 76th annual dinner-dance
April 10 at the Tarrytown Doubletree.
Honoree’s included:
Firefighter Angelo Roxas was named
Union Man of the Year for 2014 for his efforts
to help and assist his fellow firefighters.
The EMS Award for 2014 was presented
to the crew of Engine Company 314, consisting
of Lt. Anthony Nigro and firefighters Ronald
Figarella, Daniel Colon and Julio Carrero for
actions taken on Ridgeland Road on the afternoon of June 26.
Firefighter of the Year Award for 2014 was
presented to Ladder Company 71, consisting
of Capt. Gregory Coyle and firefighters Tim
Sullivan, Jerry Thompson and Sean Faughnan.
On the bitter cold night of Jan. 7, this truck
company rescued a total of seven victims from
the second and third floor windows who were
trapped by heavy fire and smoke. If not for the
immediate, heroic actions of these firefighters,
they most certainly would have lost their lives
and/or been severely injured by being forced to
jump out of their windows.
Rescue of the Year Award for 2014 was
presented to Lt. Anthony Nigro; firefighters
Ronald Figarella, Anthony Picani and Michael
Hanigan of Engine 314; Capt. Joseph Citrone;
firefighters Joe Luciano, John DeVito and Nick
Bonnano of Ladder 70; Capt. Anthony Girardi;
firefighters Anthony Perez, Vinny Christoforo
and JT Ennis of Squad 11; and Battalion 2 aide
firefighter Edward Delgado.
These men worked tirelessly to rescue and
revive a woman trapped and submerged underwater in her car, who was not breathing and had
no pulse when pulled from the vehicle. Each
and every one of these men helped facilitate the
successful rescue and CPR/defibrillation of the
young lady who is alive and well today.
The first Jef Campion Humanitarian
Award, which was established to honor Jef’s
memory for a firefighter who commits himself
to both the charitable endeavors of Local 628,
as well as to his community, was presented to
Kendrick Geiger.
