Saying good-bye to a family who never set out to lead - The Riverdale Press

Jun 28, 2024 | riverdalepress.staging2.communityq.com | Michael Hinman

You might say that, at one point, I became obsessed with flagpoles. Not any old flagpole, mind you. One in particular next to the Riverdale Monument that had decades of history behind it. And if someone didn’t do something about it soon, the flagpole itself would be history.

Watching life move too fast

I never really thought of myself as being the product of a large family until much later in life. When I was growing up, most knew only of my younger sister, Renee. Maybe an older brother or an older sister. But in reality, I have six brothers and sisters, which is hard to fathom — especially since I didn’t grow up with most of them. And we only have time to blame for that.
Trends come and go, and then come right back again - The Riverdale Press

Apr 8, 2024 | riverdalepress.com | Michael Hinman

All I had to do was pick up a package that had been left at the wrong door. I knocked. My neighbor let me in. Nothing felt out of the ordinary. But then it happened. It was like raindrops hitting a tin roof, but it wasn’t raining, and we weren’t under a tin roof. I followed the sound, and set my sights on something that hasn’t been in front of my eyes for at least a couple decades. It was a typewriter. An electric one, to be exact.

'George was a character, to say the least' - The Riverdale Press

Mar 15, 2024 | riverdalepress.com | Michael Hinman

Posted Friday, March 15, 2024 11:12 pm A U.S. Marine shares a rare moment of vulnerability during Memorial Day services in 1991 in front of a nursing home on Cannon Place in Kingsbridge Heights — a moment George Gutierrez, then a staff photographer for The Riverdale Press, was sure to capture. George M. Gutierrez/file It was art that brought Romina Carrillo and George Gutierrez together for the first time, but it almost didn’t happen. Romi had attended a function with her brother, who George...
Giving the gift of life, one synagogue at a time - The Riverdale Press

Posted Friday, March 15, 2024 10:56 pm It was a busy day at Hebrew Institute of Riverdale recently as the New York Blood Center came to town looking for donors. And there were plenty who gave and even volunteered like, from left, top donor Rabbi Moshe Edelman, Magen David Adom overseas volunteers Daniel Kopstick and Rachel Orloff, blood center account manager Natasha Chattar, Rabbi Steven Exler, top donor Daniel Padwa, and in front, Orloff’s therapy dog Charlie.

Phil Graham — likely known more as the husband to legendary Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham than his own work — once famously described newspapers as a “rough draft of history.”But, in what has become a far too common refrain, newspapers themselves are becoming history. More than 3,000 newspapers have disappeared from communities since 2004, according to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, and more will surely follow.

Keeping the mystery in love worth the price - The Riverdale Press

Feb 19, 2024 | riverdalepress.staging2.communityq.com | Michael Hinman

Forget scary movies or the end of the world — what scares almost all of us the most, by far, is getting a voicemail from a family member, telling you to call back right away because “it’s important.”My 90-year-old father did that earlier this month, a message I got on my phone as I was walking from what had been an enlightening and productive meeting with a school superintendent. The last several months had been filled with difficult calls like this. My mother’s cancer. My stepmother’s passing.
