In the article “Big Bellies, Big Environmental Boost” (June 17-30, 2010, p. 9), we failed to mention that a substantial amount of reporting in the story was taken from an article written by Peter Jackson in the Hunts Point Express, one of Norwood News’ sister papers and a member of the Bronx News Network.
In the article “Gustavo Rivera Get Anti-Espada Backing” (July 15–28, 2010, p. 2), we wrongly stated that U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is running for “re-election.” In fact, Gillibrand was appointed by Gov. David Paterson to replace Hillary Clinton in 2009. She is now running for the office of U.S. Senator for the first time.
The Norwood News apologizes for the errors.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
