Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s nineteenth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of interesting community news stories to read and share. We have 28 pages packed full of news from this corner of the Bronx, so let’s start with page one!

Our top story focuses on two more Legionnaires’ cases popping up at Tracey Towers. The New York City Health Department is now collecting water samples as part of the city Health Department’s investigation. Reporter Jose A. Giralt continued his coverage with a meeting urging residents to heed the city’s advice. 

Inside the cover you’ll read Michael Turay’s piece on a dramatic rescue of a five-year-old girl who survived nearly getting crushed by a train that killed her father in Kingsbridge. The little girl’s saviors have now been hailed heroes. We then head to the other side of Kingsbridge for a ribbon cutting of a refurbished Lehman Center for the Performing Arts. The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About. We hope these features make you the smartest person in the Bronx.

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News. Comments are always welcome. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org or tweet directly to me at @CWEBCRUZER. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them! And don’t forget to vote!

Keep reading!
