Pain in the Gas!
Shortages Angering Residents
(Photos by Gary Quintal)
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 2- City Island was looking more like New Jersey with large gas lines snaking the island community. City Islanders had to wait in line for gas as the line stretched blocks from the Sunoco all the way to Carrol street (about 6 blocks).
Relief was nowhere in sight. In nearby Pelham Manor the gas station remained empty.
Baychester ave and 241st still without lights as pedestrians attempt to cross with dusk and dark looming upon them. As cars passed, pedestrians dodged and darted with no street lights. Cars whizzed by at or in excess of the speed limit despite poor visibility.

Helping Hurricane Victims
By Howard Goldin
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 1- Many millions of Americans living on the Atlantic coast had their lives disrupted, if not much worse, by the power of Hurricane Sandy during the past few days. Double figures of lives were lost, homes were demolished, large numbers of people were stranded in their homes, millions lost power, public transportation in the tri--state area could not run.
Those fortunate to have power have watched the mesmerizing story of the unwelcome visit on TV or look at the photos on this website or in this week’s Bronx News.
First responders who work in the metropolitan area, members of the National Guard and volunteers from other sections of the nation are working to better the lives of local residents and repair the damaged infrastructure.
Individuals and organizations make also being looking for ways to aid the relief effort. Those who do can follow the example of the New York Yankees. The Bronx sports franchise donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross, which is trying to assist the victims of the super storm.
The Yankees Managing Partner Hal Steinbrenner made a statement regarding the natural disaster, “The damage and destruction to the Tri-State area caused by Hurricane Sandy is daunting, but we have seen the great resiliency of this region before. As a neighbor and community member, the Yankees embrace our role of stepping forward and assisting the American Red Cross, which comes to the aid of so many people through their tireless efforts.”
This is not the first time the Yankees under the Steinbrenner ownership have become involved in charitable undertakings. The organization as a unit as well as individual players has formed foundations to aid a variety of causes. The organization today is setting an example that hopefully that hopefully will be followed by other sports organizations and businesses of all types.
The easiest way to donate $10 to the Red Cross is texting RedCross to 90999. The money will be used to benefit, family, friends and neighbors in a time of need.
