According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Black and Latino residents now make up nearly 30% of the borough's population, up from a bit more than 10% in 1980. These residents are raising families, building businesses, and contributing significantly to the social and economic life of the borough. Yet, when it comes to congressional representation, they are denied a meaningful voice.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - All this talk of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday has me hungry for them, so here is my handy‑dandy list of pancake how‑to enjoy pancakes on Staten Island.

Christopher T. Hewitt, a lifelong Staten Islander who fed, cared for, and quietly held up his community through decades in the food business, died suddenly at his home in Sunnyside. He was 50.

He went on to spend years on the East Shore at Delfini's and Top Tomato, gaining the hands-on experience that shaped his career, particularly at Delfini's. In the early 2000s, he owned The Misty Lounge, a Grant City neighborhood bar he ran with friends.

It's a familiar scene at a youth sports event: a parent disagrees with a call or is unhappy with their child's time on the field, or perhaps they are unhappy with another player, and they loudly voice their opinion to the coach or the referee, or even another parent. Things turn heated quickly, interrupting the game, embarrassing the children, and generally causing discomfort all around.

"I believe an event like that would be a great idea, as it allows the Port Richmond area an opportunity to showcase all the wonderful businesses that call it home," Lopez said. "We've had street closures on Port Richmond Avenue in the past-for the Mexican Independence Day parade and for a Summer Streets event-and they went off without a hitch. The only thing I would suggest is that they give us ample time to prepare."

The new trains replaced the older R44 cars, which were in service in the borough since 1973. It was the oldest fleet in all of New York City Transit, Crichlow noted.
