BRONX // BROOKLYN JOURNAL 2

I am originally from the Bronx, when my mom migrated from Mexico to the United States she decided to live with my fathers oldest sister. I was born at the Jacobi Hospital at Pelham Parkway. I was living in the Bronx for about 4 years of my life. I was to young to really remember how it was living their but my mom always tells me stories on how it was living there. She said it was full of Hispanic people and Albanian’s. My moms family all lived in Brooklyn and it was really hard for her not being able to really see them because they were far from each other. She finally decided it was time to move to Brooklyn when I was 4 years old so we did. We moved into an apartment by ourselves it was just my father my mother and I. We moved into an apartment in the area by Prospect Park South.

Prospect Park South was always full of Muslim people and Hispanics. As a grew older my moms mother offered her to move in with her in an apartment two blocks away from where we were already living. I remember us moving in I was about 6 years old and we moved into my grandmas apartment which only consisted of 1 room and a living room, bathroom and kitchen. My father, mother and I took the room and my Grandmother, Grandfather and two aunts took the living room because it was bigger for all of them. The more I got older I started asking my mom why didn’t we just stay in our own apartment it was a lot better to be on our own and she told me it was cheaper to pay for a room only instead of the whole apartment and not only that but because she felt bad for my Grandmother she knew she was going to feel a way if we didn’t accept to live with her.

I was 10 years old still going to Jacobi Hospital and I didn’t know why when we had other hospitals in Brooklyn. I started to tell my mom to change my hospital because it was a very long commute to the Bronx from Brooklyn she then started to realize it was so I finally stopped going and changed hospitals. The very last time I went to the Bronx I remember everything was different from when I was younger. It looked so much more dirty and I would see a lot of homeless people around. I felt sad because I was like 10 years old thinking this ain’t right people don’t deserve to be outside in the streets through cold or very hot weathers.

The transitions from living in the Bronx to then living in Brooklyn weren’t drastic because I was very young when I lived at the Bronx. My whole life revolves around Brooklyn it’s what I know more of and where I have been raised for about 17 years. I have not moved from my Grandma’s house I still currently live in Prospect Park South and a lot has changed I didn’t know what “Gentrification” was until about 3 years ago when new buildings were being built and the rent started going up for us. My building was full of Hispanic and Muslim people now you see a lot of white people. We went from having a bodega at the corner of the block to having a fancy restaurant across the street. It’s crazy how things change and become for the worse for people with lower incomes who can’t afford these changes. Who knows where we will migrate to next when we can’t pay these high rents anymore. .. .

LaMarcus Aldridge is on the market and makes sense for the Warriors If the Golden State Warriors want to compete, they’ll have the opportunity to do just that. The buyout market is one that should be heating up over the next several days with a few big names already parting ways with their former teams.

On July 28, 2020, Brett Pelham was sentenced to 15 years in the Department of Corrections for Vehicular Homicide stemming from a fatal traffic crash that occurred on October 25, 2018 at the intersection of Nelson Road and Diplomat Parkway W. Pelham has been in custody since his arrest on 24 February, 2019.

Pelham pled guilty to Vehicular Homicide and Driving Without a Driver’s License Causing Death on January 30, 2020, as part of a plea agreement. On July 28 2020, the charge for No Driver’s License Causing Death was reduced to Driving with No Driver’s License after defense motion that the original two charges represented double jeopardy.

The original press release is included below.

TIME: 8:28 AM

LOCATION: Diplomat Parkway W/Nelson Road

CR#: 18-020632

ASSIGNED THI: Officer D. Gray

VEHICLE 1: Beige 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, Florida tag.

DRIVER 1: Brett Dwight Pelham, W/M, 05/02/2002.

SYNOPSIS:

Vehicle 1 was traveling west on Diplomat Parkway W, approaching the intersection with Nelson Road N, in the outside lane. Vehicle 2 was traveling south on Nelson Road N, approaching the intersection with Diplomat Parkway W, and in the inside lane and at a high speed. Vehicle 2 stopped at the stop sign and then began to proceed south across the intersection. Vehicle 1 failed to stop at the stop sign and skidded into the intersection. The front of Vehicle 1 collided with the driver’s door of Vehicle 2. The impact with Vehicle 1 forced Vehicle 2 west for approximately 90 feet where it came to final rest facing to the southwest across both westbound lanes of Diplomat Parkway. After the impact, Vehicle 1 continued traveling to the west along Diplomat Parkway while rotating nearly 180 degrees. Vehicle 1 came to final rest facing to the Southeast in the westbound outside lane of Diplomat Parkway.

The driver of Vehicle 2 suffered fatal injuries in the crash. The driver and passengers of Vehicle 1 suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries, and all were transported by ambulance to Lee Memorial Hospital. None of the occupants in Vehicle 1 were wearing seatbelts. The driver of Vehicle 1 does not have a driver’s license. The investigation is on-going and charges are pending.

THI Ofc D. Gray and DRE H. Esterle responded. CCPD Forensic Technician L. Lansky and VA C. Seymour also responded.

Alcohol/drugs ARE a factor in the traffic crash. Next-of-kin HAVE BEEN notified.

This was a great job by the Cape Coral Police Department’s Traffic Homicide Investigators that led to a thorough investigation that resulted in a 15 year sentence.

The Most Expensive Zip Codes in The Bronx in 2020

These four zip codes have the highest median sales price in The #Bronx during the first half of 2020.

Despite many New York City boroughs and zip codes experiencing a drop in median sales price, the top four most expensive in The Bronx all showed an increase year over year for the first half of 2020 and it seemed the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t impacted Bronx real estate at least for now.

Pretty much as expected, 10471 which covers most of Riverdale, including Fieldston, was the most expensive…

Russell B. Aitken Sea Bird Aviary, Bronx Zoo (No. 4)

In the late nineteenth century William Temple Hornaday, then director of the New York Zoological Park (now the Bronx Zoo), carried out a direct-mail survey of wildlife conditions through the United States, and publicized the decline of birds and mammals in the organization's annual reports. In 1897 Hornaday also hired field researcher Andrew J. Stone to survey the condition of wildlife in the territory of Alaska. On the basis of these studies, Hornaday led the campaign for new laws to protect the wildlife there and the United States as a whole. In 1901, a small herd of American Bison were gathered in a 20-acre meadow just off what is now the Pelham Parkway roadway. Starting in 1905, Hornaday led a national campaign to reintroduce the almost extinct bison to government sponsored refuges. Hornaday, Theodore Roosevelt and others formed the American Bison Society in 1905. The Bronx Zoo sent 15 bison to Wichita Reserve in 1907 and additional bison in later years. The saving of this uniquely American symbol is one of the great success stories in the history of wildlife conservation. Hornaday campaigned for wildlife protection throughout his thirty years as director of the Bronx Zoo. Beginning in 1906, Hornaday featured Ota Benga, a member of the Mbuti from the Congo, in a zoo exhibit. In July 2020, the Wildlife Conservation Society apologized.

William Beebe, the first curator of birds at the Bronx Zoo, began a program of field research soon after the Bronx Zoo opened. His research on wild pheasants took him to Asia from 1908 to 1911 and resulted in a series of books on pheasants. Beebe's field work also resulted in the creation of the Society’s Department of Tropical Research, which Beebe directed from 1922 until his retirement in 1948. Beebe’s research in an undersea vessel called the bathysphere took him half a mile under the ocean floor off Bermuda in 1934 to record for the first time human observations of the bottom of the deep sea. The bathysphere is currently displayed at the New York Aquarium.

The war years marked the arrival of Henry Fairfield Osborn, Jr as NYZS president and Laurance Rockefeller as executive committee chairman. A best selling writer on conservation and son of WCS founder Henry Fairfield Osborn, Osborn soon embraced changes that signaled new thinking in the organization. Guests were allowed to bring their own cameras into the Bronx Zoo, while animals were grouped by continents and ecosystems rather than genetic orders and families, beginning with the African Plains exhibit in 1941.

After World War II, under the leadership of Osborn, the organization extended its programs in field biology and conservation. In 1946 WCS helped found the Jackson Hole Wildlife Park, which became part of Grand Teton National Park in 1962. In the late 1950s WCS began a series of wildlife surveys and projects in Kenya, Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burma, and the Malay peninsula. In 1959 it sponsored George Schaller’s seminal study of mountain gorillas in Congo. Since that expedition, Schaller has gone on to become the world's preeminent field biologist, studying wildlife throughout Africa, Asia and South America. Conservation activities continued to expand under the leadership of William G. Conway, who became director of the Bronx Zoo in 1962 and President of WCS in 1992. Active as a field biologist in Patagonia, Conway promoted a new vision of zoos as conservation organizations, which cooperated in breeding endangered species. He also designed new types of zoo exhibits aimed at teaching visitors about habitats that support wildlife, and encouraged the expansion of WCS's field programs.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the WCS took a leadership role in pioneering zoological exhibitions by seeking to recreate natural environments for the animals on display. Under the leadership of WCS director William G. Conway, the Bronx Zoo opened its World of Darkness for nocturnal species in 1969 and its World of Birds for avian displays in 1974. Eventually New York City turned to WCS to renew and manage three city-run facilities in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. The redesigned Central Park Zoo opened in 1988, followed by the Queens Zoo in 1992 and the Prospect Park Zoo in 1993. From 1994 through 1996 Archie Carr III of WCS helped establish the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, a reserve for endangered jaguar.

Today WCS is at work on some 500 projects in more than 60 nations around the world that are intended to help protect both wildlife and the wild places in which they live. The organization endeavors to protect 25 percent of the world's biodiversity—from the gorillas of Africa and the tigers of Asia to macaws in South America and the sharks, whales and turtles traveling through the planet's seas. In recent years WCS has actively worked in conflict areas like Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar, where agreements on wildlife resource have contributed to peace and stability. More than 4 million people visit WCS's wildlife parks in New York City each year.
