Hi Neighbor,Never forget. Two very powerful words most associated with anyone – especially those of the Jewish faith – who know anything about the horrors of the Holocaust. Six million Jews died horrible deaths in gas chambers, mass shootings and brutal treatment. Never forget. Those two words should be uttered about a lot of other atrocities that have gripped America over the years. And ones that have gripped Staten Island. The atrocity of September 11, 2001.

Hi Neighbor,I wonder how many Staten Island Catholics are mourning the death of Pope Francis. By no means do I suggest some are glad to see him pass. But Francis, “The People’s Pope,” might not have been the pope many of the people of our conservative-leaning borough saw as the religious leader who shared their values. After all, the Catholic Church hasn’t been accused of being progressive – there’s that dirty word again – since John XXIII in the early ’60s. And then there was Francis.

Hi Neighbor,I want to talk with you today about the attack on a female jogger in Silver Lake Park the other week, and the subsequent calls to reopen the road that runs through it. But the Malliotakis Town Hall Advocates from Brooklyn and Staten Island just won’t let it go. We’ll address them later. First, let’s get to Silver Lake . . . I loved driving through the park when the road was open. It felt like motoring through California’s Santa Monica Mountains. Thank the pandemic for shutting it down.

Hi Neighbor,Maybe I should be flattered. After all, how often does a representative in the hallowed halls of Congress take my advice? We refer to a town hall held last Saturday at All Saints Episcopal Church in Willowbrook. The “Empty Chair Town Hall,” they called it. The vacant seat was for no-show Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis. Our Republican representative in Washington has decided to eschew town hall invites.
