Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s sixth edition of the Norwood News with plenty of community news you can use. We’ve packed 20 pages full of great stories impacting the Bronx. As usual, we’ll begin with page one!

Our front-page story brings you to Williamsbridge Oval Park where the Bronx Buccaneers have reclaimed their practice spot just in time for spring. The Bucs nearly lost their spot after the team parted ways with the permit holder. Martika Ornella reports on who the team is tipping its helmet for the good news.

Inside the cover you’ll find a follow-up piece what exactly Bronx elected officials and residents want of their newly elected Public Advocate. Reporter Joseph Konig gets a list of issues Public Advocate Jumaane Williams should tackle.

This edition also continues our “Bronx Connections: The Health Impact” collaborative series with WFUV Radio and BronxNet. Read Marina Kopf’s piece that examines benefits on dental work that aren’t always embraced.

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!
