“May the Force be with you” was perhaps the underlying message from New York City Mayor Eric Adams to the City’s worst-hit bodega owners when he visited the Tremont section of The Bronx on Sunday He was there to announce $1.6 million in funding to equip an estimated 500 bodegas across the five boroughs with new panic buttons which bodega staff can use to immediately call the NYPD in cases of emergency Distributed through an emergency grant to the United Bodega Association (UBA) City officials said the panic buttons will be installed in bodegas with the highest levels of crime to improve staff and customer safety They said the described “SilentShields” will be directly connected to cameras in the bodega and to the NYPD allowing officers to see crimes unfold in real time They said they will work in direct coordination with another program the Adams administration launched last year to help local businesses voluntarily share information in real time with the NYPD through existing closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) 2026 fiscal year executive budget (and as if taken directly from a Trump playbook) dubbed the “Best Budget Ever” by the Adams administration City officials said this latest public safety investment in bodega safety will help build a safer city and ensure that critical small businesses that support every neighborhood across the city have the security and support they need to keep both their staff and customers safe “Bodegas are part of the heart and soul of New York City,” Adams said in part “They are on every corner; they are there for us at all hours This program will bring peace of mind to our bodega owners while protecting the working-class New Yorkers who work and frequent bodegas Our bodegas are essential to New York City we’re telling these small businesses: Your city has your back.” SilentShields will give our workers a lifeline directly to the NYPD and making it clear: New York will no longer abandon its essential bodega workers.” “We thank Mayor Adams for taking real action We came to the mayor and he didn’t hesitate to offer his support because our blue-collar mayor knows just how important bodegas are to their communities.” Following the brutal murder of 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz inside a bodega in Belmont in July 2018, former Bronx City Councilman for District 13 Mark Gjonaj introduced a similar bill proposing the installation of panic buttons in bodegas the same year We later asked both City Hall and the council if the latest initiative announced by the mayor was duplicating the city council bill A spokesperson for the Office of the Mayor “I’m not familiar with such legislation but this is a $1.6 million dollar investment in protecting 500 bodegas across the city It’s the difference between real action and just talk.” We will share any feedback we receive from the council The 48th Precinct broadly covers the neighborhoods of Belmont while Fordham University’s Bronx campus is nestled in the precinct’s northern corner the famous Arthur Avenue runs down the center and the Cross Bronx Expressway and Crotona Park form the southern border The latest available crime statistics for the 48th Precinct are attached further below we asked City Hall if the new initiative just covers bodegas or all small businesses in high crime areas since many other small businesses particularly those operating late at night like food outlets and even some tax service businesses have been the target of sometimes very violent crime in the north Bronx See links further below to some previous stories in this regard City officials said UBA will solicit competitive bids for SilentShield technology and aims to begin installation in the coming months Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch later said in a statement that bodegas were essential to life in New York City and that the people who run them deserve real protection we’re giving them a direct link to the NYPD so we can see what’s happening in real time and respond immediately,” she said “This is what smart policing looks like: precise and built on the trust of the communities we serve we’re protecting New Yorkers where they live and work.” The announcement comes on the heels of “Budget Week,” where investments were announced in housing “after-school for all,” and thanks to expanded eligibility requirements and continued close to 35,000 uniformed NYPD officers by fall of 2026 and support for a record 100,000 summer job opportunities annually for young people The mayor’s Bronx visit on Sunday follows an prior visit to Norwood on Friday Belated Happy Star Wars Day to all who celebrate Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Ours is not that way at all,” said Jeremy Lloyd, Tremont’s manager of field and college programs, who creates each annual event in partnership with Smokies Life Creative Services Director Frances Figart It takes place in the outrageously beautiful Smoky Mountains relationship-building is one of the key ingredients Writers come away with a group of peers who continue to elevate one another's writing long after the conference ends.” Conference participants will spend their mornings in small-group writing workshops and optional one-on-one mentoring sessions with their cohort leaders Zacharias looks forward to opportunities to spark creativity in her cohort something she finds “every bit as thrilling” as receiving compliments on her own work “You don’t know what that thing is that will light in another person,” she said “but unless we expose ourselves to those opportunities for creativity Following morning workshop, writers will spend their afternoons accompanying Tremont naturalists on excursions exploring the region’s natural history. Evenings will be occupied by group dinners, fellowship, and readings from cohort leaders — an intentional cultivation of community “I think that there’s value in the solitude that we often have as writers but there’s an equal amount of value exploring your ideas with like-minded people people who love and value words and want to make their words better,” said Wilkinson “I wouldn’t be the writer I am without my various writing communities.” Wilkinson, a recent Kentucky poet laureate who is also the author of multiple books, short stories, poems, and essays — including her 2024 culinary memoir "Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts" — is excited to see the “magic that can happen” with the convergence of place and purpose she expects to find at Tremont Wilkinson will encourage her cohort members to explore the tools available to them across genres and the “wild possibilities” these diverse forms offer As a writer of fiction and poetry as well as nonfiction Wilkinson has a deep appreciation for the depth these disciplines can offer when drawn on together “I used to put my poet self in one compartment and my novelist/fiction writing self in another one,” she said “One of the things I’ve learned lately is that it is possible to have them all present you can have access to details and storytelling and you can have access to the facts and archival research.” presenting writers with real-time writing exercises to complete is an effective way to help develop these skills because that’s exactly what it is,” she said “It’s almost like stretching a muscle you didn’t even know you had.” Wilkinson can’t imagine a better place to stretch those muscles than the Tremont campus, nestled within the dazzlingly diverse landscape of Great Smoky Mountains National Park “I think even if you don’t have an inclination toward nature suddenly there are myriad possibilities that you can add to your work,” she said Wilkinson has always paid close attention to the natural world These insights have frequently inspired and illuminated the narratives arcing through her work “You can understand a sense of place through exploring animal life and the natural world,” she said “I think that one of the things that comes up in my work is nature’s propensity to heal.” This tendency is often evident in "Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts." A tribute to the five generations of Black women who came before her in the corner of rural Appalachia where she was raised exploring the lessons Wilkinson’s grandmother taught her about nature and how to live harmoniously within it “There are moments where I’m even thinking about what enslavement would have been like for my fourth great-grandmother and also thinking about being out there in the woods and having those moments of respite depending on nature to fortify after a hard winter in Appalachia,” she said feels a strong connection to the mountains and valleys flowing from Tremont returning to East Tennessee “always feels like coming home.” That’s true even when she’s writing about a place as far away as Scotland “That connection across the pond carries from that place in East Tennessee all the way to that place in west Scotland The storytelling that I heard from my aunt about her neighbors then becomes the storytelling I do about the people I met in Scotland.” The first thing Zacharias did after receiving her advance for "After the Flag Has Been Folded," her first book deal with Harper-Collins nearly 20 years ago and purchase a headstone for her great-aunt Cil It was inscribed with the phrase “words rise up out of the country.” and I don’t think we talk enough about how it’s the geography of a place and the personality of a place that shapes us and shapes our stories and shapes our worldview,” she said is that you get out of the one-mindset worldview.” Whether they’re traveling from Townsend or Tucson writers receive an opportunity to experience a new type of wildness at Tremont an abrupt shift in context capable of knocking loose new forms of creativity — allowing each writer to leave better equipped to express their own unique voice “There’s a renewing in the spirit when you’re around other writers,” Wilkinson said “and you can’t help but be anxious to get back to that solitude Boston Police report they are looking for a group of five guys one of whom they say opened a gash in somebody's head by smashing him with a bottle outside the Cathedral Church of St Anybody with info can call detectives at 617-343-4571 or contact the anonymous tip line by calling 800-494-TIPS or texting TIP to CRIME (27463) WFXT interviewed the victim a Suffolk University student who was walking back to his dorm when attacked Like the job UHub is doing?

Top 6 high school baseball teams around Peoria in 2025 The Journal Star all-area player knows there will be naysayers about the path he’s taking “It’s a big opportunity I’m kind of throwing away,” Williams said you got to do what you’re pushing to do in life so that’s what really what I want to pursue so everybody is very appreciative of that.” This news was initially surprising to Tremont coach Eddie Betson “It’s obviously going to be what’s best for him,” said Betson who is in his first season after coaching the Metamora sophomore team “I think that he embodies everything that the military would ever ask for because he’s about the toughest son-of-a-gun I’ve ever had the opportunity to coach.” And this also means that Williams is making the most of his last time playing America’s pastime he’d been hyper-focused on prepping for the next season and the next level All of his energy and effort will go into the 2025 campaign “The only thought in my mind is to win,” Williams said “There’s never been a time more when I’ve enjoyed the game Tremont is off to a 4-0 start through Tuesday’s 7-2 win over Brimfield/Elmwood The Turks pitching staff has been a big key to that early success Griffin Meeker and Hunter Smith have combined to keep opposing hitters off-balance with Williams catching IHSA baseball: The top 12 players to watch in the Peoria area for 2025 “I love being behind the plate for those guys,” he said noting he’s caught a lot of his teammate since junior high “I know exactly what they’re feeling each day when they’re on the mound so it’s just really having that connection with my pitchers really just dominating when they’re on the mound.” Tremont is also having very little trouble at the plate 44-3 including 30 runs scored in two games over the weekend but an offseason spent in the batting cage has helped him keep his hand movement minimal be on a straight path to the ball and find the gaps This mentality has helped Williams become an example everyone seems to be following “From Day 1 when I first met him,” Betson said “he’s been absolutely rock-solid in every way for being a leader for us.” There’s optimism that Tremont can end a seven-year regional title drought “We got a lot of talent this year … as long as we keep the bats rolling,” Williams said and we’ll have a pretty good year this year this is going to be our year if we’re going to make a run.” if the Turks do win a regional championship His deployment to basic training is May 28 — the same day Class 2A sectional semifinals begin The position will likely be turned over to Williams’ freshman brother “He’ll take over the reins from there,” the elder Williams said Adam Duvall is a Journal Star sports reporter By Chris Vetter, ProWrestling.net Contributor (@chrisvetter73) and other notable live events or television tapings you are encouraged to send a report or even basic results to dotnetjason@gmail.com The lights were on and it was easy to see the action Jordan Castle and Emil Jay provided commentary * Emil Jay introduced Matt Cardona;

Galveston at the newly renovated rooftop at The Tremont House on Tuesday Staff at The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House serve guests TuesdayFeb reopened Sunday after extensive renovations reopened this week after a 2 1/2-year remodel The iconic and historic Tremont House Hotel in downtown is sporting a new crown just in time for Mardi Gras who for his entire tenure at the hotel has been answering Galveston’s most-burning question “When are you going to open The Rooftop Bar?,” can now offer something more certain than “soon.” was beaming with pride Tuesday at the finished project The Rooftop Bar had a soft opening for a few hours Sunday to make sure its systems and equipment were running smoothly Its hours are noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday and noon to 1 a.m Various Galveston-related social media pages were buzzing with excitement Monday night as word began to spread In a space that used to live up to its simple moniker as an open-air bar perched on a roof a new four-seasons facility has taken shape The Rooftop Bar’s primary footprint is enclosed in a structure that features accordion glass doors on three sides allowing for pleasant gulf breezes when the weather cooperates or keeping those breezes and the oft-accompanying rains outside when the conditions aren’t so nice winds and poor weather would force the former bar to be closed at times The bar still has several outside-only seating options for when weather allows The views remain as spectacular as those the original bar offered Timmons was among those enthralled by the activity at the port but due to the safety setbacks from the roof’s edge The Rooftop Bar may not be the best spot from which to watch the Mardi Gras parades The Daily News reported hotel officials hoped for a fall 2023 reopening But the reality of the logistics of building an entirely new structure atop a historic building and maintaining its character and integrity was a bigger undertaking than anyone could have imagined “We would have liked to be open a long time before now,” Timmons said “But we’re absolutely thrilled to be open for Mardi Gras.” The Rooftop Bar remodel was part of a multimillion dollar makeover of the iconic hotel that started in 2022 Today all that work is done and the final T to be crossed is an elevator inspection for the Belmont Building portion of the Tremont House which recently had its 11 rooms completely remodeled Timmons isn’t allowed to give specifics on the costs to rebuild The Rooftop Bar The Rooftop Bar is more than just a place for libations including signature cocktails such as Girl Named Violet Some of Timmons’ favorites include the Waygu beef sliders which he described as “incredible,” pork belly bao bao and duck wings The Tremont House Hotel added 20 employees for The Rooftop Bar some of whom came from other parts of the property has been sold out for four of the past seven days even though the island is in its winter season “We get a lot of business from the cruises,” Timmons said The Rooftop Bar will be available for private parties to rent but Timmons’ staff is waiting a few months to offer that option because there’s been such a pent-up demand to access the space “”We’re thrilled and excited and ready to show off,” he said Jeff Robinson: 409-683-5226: jeff.robinson@galvnews.com there are no recent results for popular videos

race looks out for each other Isn't it time white people do the same?," asks a poster found at Clark Field That flier is just one of several Tremont residents who are outraged over finding this week Megan Jones-Turner told me she was walking her dogs at the Clark Field trail that begins at West 11th Street and Clark Avenue this weekend "We are approximately 4% of the world's population which stands for 'Only White Lives Matter.' [It's] very disappointing that people feel this way making it into something that is about race 'people will look out for one another,' I feel like just because that's the right thing to do [that] you're actually making more division by pointing out differences rather than finding the things that unite you and make you the same," Jones-Turner said Jones-Turner said she wasn't planning on sharing what she saw but another Tremont local shared a poster taped to the outside of Dante on social media What appears to be the father in the photo has a swastika on his arm When Jones-Turner saw the social media post she shared her experience and said she was glad to see so many sharing the same feelings she had "I take heart in the fact that there are other people who are going to be fighting this just as hard like taking these signs down and bringing awareness to it," she said Both Jones-Turner and the woman who shared the sign outside of Dante said they ripped the signs down and disposed of them A photographer and I went to both locations on Sunday afternoon While we confirmed neither flier was still posted a mere 20 feet away from where Jones-Turner found that one poster my photographer and I found another sticking out of the trash can It promotes "white unity" and defending "your race." Sunday night was the first time Jones-Turner had seen the sign we did It's very disturbing to imagine that people still think and feel that way While Jones-Turner doesn't feel unsafe and doesn't believe this is the work of someone who lives in Tremont "It'd be nice to see these people brought in and kind of questioned if they can find out who did it What's your objective here?," Jones-Turner stated "Educate yourselves on what it is that you are pushing because there's no reason to hate other people because you don't know anything about them I reached out to the City of Cleveland Ward 3 Councilperson Kerry McCormack for comment since these areas fall within his district but we reached out via social media for a response regarding the sign taped to the outside of the restaurant I haven't heard back from the business either Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInCLEVELAND Ohio (WOIO) - Cleveland Police are looking for a missing and endangered man last seen in the Tremont area Kevin Hufford was last seen in the area of Scranton Road and Clark Avenue on Wednesday Police said Hufford is 6′0″ tall and weighs around 185 pounds Anyone with information is encouraged to reach out to police at 216-621-1234 or Detective Zola at 216-623-2755 2025The NYPD is investigating the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man in the Tremont section of the Bronx.TREMONT Bronx (WABC) -- Police are searching for the suspect who shot and killed an 18-year-old man overnight in the Bronx The fatal shooting happened around 1:30 a.m on Sunday near East Tremont Avenue and Park Avenue officers found the 18-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds to his body First responders transported the victim to Saint Barnabas Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead Authorities are trying to determine a motive for the shooting * Get Eyewitness News Delivered * More Manhattan news * Send us a news tip * Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts * Follow us on YouTube Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?

Maurice Manning has led countless writing workshops over the course of his career, but the Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet experienced something special at the Tremont Writers Conference last October is jointly created and coordinated by Smokies Life and the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont and it takes place on Tremont’s campus nestled inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park “The thing that stands out to me about the Tremont conference is that the Great Smoky Mountains is not simply a setting for the program,” Manning said “It is an integrated feature of the program I've long been a believer that the landscape and Tremont’s location makes that immensely possible.” Manning led the poetry cohort during the 2024 conference and enjoyed the experience so much he’s filling the same role in 2025. This year’s conference, slated for Oct. 22-26, is accepting applications from writers of poetry Attendees will participate in small-group writing workshops led by Manning for poetry fellow Kentuckian Crystal Wilkinson for nonfiction and two cohort leaders for fiction: journalist-turned-novelist Karen Spears Zacharias and David Joy a novelist whose work is firmly rooted in the mountains of Western North Carolina “It’s a highlight of my year to help organize this conference, and I get just as much out of it as the participants,” said Frances Figart, creative services director for Smokies Life, who creates each annual event in partnership with Tremont’s manager of field and college programs Jeremy Lloyd “I’m so thrilled that we have Maurice Manning returning as he is just the epitome of a great teacher of poetry with knowledge that easily extends to all genres I also know it will be exhilarating to get to work with Wilkinson the whole experience designed around the idea that everyone involved is working together toward the same goal: continual improvement of craft as they tweak lines and storylines “to where it’s just right He teaches at Transylvania University in Lexington as well as at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa where he is a faculty member for the MFA Program for Writers But he says the poems he writes “feel given to me” by the woods and hills of his Kentucky farm “I feel like I’m in a way living in a musical instrument,” he said “and I just have to find the song for that particular moment and put it into words.” The natural world also looms large in Joy’s work He draws inspiration from the woods surrounding his home in mountainous Jackson County just south of Great Smoky Mountains National Park “I think that a lot of people try to create a fictional world but it winds up being a distorted mirror of a real place,” he said I knew Jackson County so well that it felt disingenuous to try to fictionalize it so I just chose to hold very specifically to the place.” Growing up along the Catawba River in North Carolina Joy was “never cut out to be inside” and has been “obsessed” with fishing “since I could hold a fishing rod.” He moved to Jackson County at the age of 18 becoming closely attuned to the subtleties of the region’s natural landscape through countless hours spent hunting fishing and growing his summer vegetable garden Joy is the author of five novels as well as short stories and creative nonfiction pieces that have appeared in publications such as Garden & Gun and The New York Times Magazine His 2024 novel "Those We Thought We Knew" won the 2023 Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award the 2023 Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction and the 2024 Sir Walter Raleigh Award His 2016 novel "Where All Light Tends to Go" was an Edgar finalist for Best First Novel and adapted into a film starring Billy Bob Thornton and Robin Wright and landmarks familiar to those who know Jackson County well but they also encounter precise descriptions of the natural rhythms that mark time in the mountains - the “thistle-colored flower” of a pink lady’s slipper “hanging from a thin green stem like a human heart,” in 2018’s "The Line that Held Us," mountains that “took on the look of water” as seen from the top of a fire tower at nighttime in 2020’s "When These Mountains Burn." In considering the importance of accurately rendering such details Joy referenced a piece of advice his mentor and fellow award-winning novelist Ron Rash once gave him: “You have to get the details right in order for the reader to believe the big lie.” “Regardless of the place that you’re writing about or the people that you’re writing about or the situation that you’re writing about Not all writers root their work in the settings that surround them each day but doing the work to understand the people and places being portrayed is vital to the success of any work Manning consistently finds that ring of truth in the streams and ever-changing angles of light that fall across his Kentucky farm But he believes that the rhythms of nature exert a universal pull on the human heart and that writers can only benefit by better understanding them The suffix “graphy” in the word “geography,” he points out means “to write.” He thinks of the word as translating to “the written earth.” “I often think that going out into the woods if we’re paying attention with all of our senses “It’s a great wonder that human beings have known about for centuries and centuries we’ve lost our knowledge of that book and lost our sense of belonging to it The Tremont program is a way to get that back.” This Turkish Ottoman sword dated 1807 was the top lot slicing through its $1,5/2,500 estimate to achieve $31,750 — Tremont Auctions’ annual fall Asian arts and antiques sale on December 8 was successful in achieving strong prices for a variety of Asian antiques and decorative arts with some items significantly exceeding their estimated value if they were rare or in superb condition The auction house has a strong expertise in the Asian art market especially with Asian specialist James Callahan at the helm Callahan has a prodigious Rolodex of trade and private sources and always gets a good selection of items across different periods and regions This particular sale featured choice pieces from an old Boston collection among the 505 lots offered Chinese porcelain vases from this collection achieved significantly higher prices than their estimated value totaled $385,825 with a sell-through rate around 80 percent There were 162 successful buyers and about 30 live in the audience Leading it all was a Turkish Ottoman sword dated 1807 which sliced through its $1,5/2,500 estimate to achieve $31,750 Featuring a wavy watered steel inlaid with a gold inscription and jade hilt the weapon was further inlaid with Ottoman trophies in gold It measured 36½ inches long and the blade inscription deciphered and translated by researchers at the Erevan Institute of Archaeology in effect] Melkon Agha the son of Amir Gaspar 1256 AD 1807.” It sold to a private European collector known to Tremont An old Boston collection surfaced in an estate cleanout contributing this large Chinese Kangxi blue and white porcelain jar/vase With allover phoenix and floral decoration it stood 24 inches high by 17½ inches wide It rose to $25,400 against a $1,5/2,000 estimate The overall sale offered a diverse selection of Asian art The old Boston collection contributed a large Chinese Kangxi blue and white porcelain jar or vase it stood 24 inches high and was 17½ inches wide Its condition reported two tight hairlines on the rim; still it rose to $25,400 against a $1,5/2,000 estimate “This collection was from a couple of fellows who do cleanouts and know that we do well with Asian things they brought them by and they were very good things,” said Buckley A similarly strong performance was witnessed when a collection of approximately 40 Chinese antique coins crossed the block A loss of objects in its hand and a sword that was bent at its tip caused a Chinese gilt bronze figure of Manjushri Namasangiti from the Yung Lo period (1402-1424) to miss its $20/30,000 estimate and finish at $12,200 Faring better was a Buddhist icon from the Korean Koryo period (Fourteenth Century) which soared above its $800-$1,200 estimate It depicted a standing guardian figure holding a sheathed sword With an inscription upper right and framed under glass This Korean Buddhist icon from the Fourteenth Century soared above its $800-$1,200 estimate More of the old Boston collection came to the fore with Chinese porcelain vases A pair of baluster vases from the early Twentieth Century featured an underglaze blue decoration of the immortals They stood 23 inches high and commanded $8,540 A pair of Chinese Nineteenth or Twentieth Century examples with Hundred Deer decoration and deer-head handles took $7,930 A Ming period (1368-1644) Chinese cloisonné ewer in monk’s hat form was richly decorated with Buddhist stylized lotus scrolls and the “eight precious symbols,” as noted in the catalog With heavy gilding and double vajra on the base the 9½-by-8-inch ewer from a local collector realized $7,320 Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as stated by the auction house.
