Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s fourteenth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of great community news stories to dive into and share. There’s plenty of news to report in this corner of the Bronx, and we’ve captured a good chunk of it. And as usual, we’ll start with page one!

Our front-page story focuses on the results of the latest Community Board 7 elections, with board members going a different direction in voting for a new chair. Read about the new agenda for Emmanuel Martinez, the newly installed chair of Community Board 7 by myself and Síle Moloney.

Inside the cover you’ll find a piece on the city Campaign Finance Board and how its new 8-to-1 matching funds program pose serious implications for future races, especially the 11th Council District race. We also have a sweet story from Christy Rae Ammons on the neighborhood’s centenarians. Meantime, Sile Moloney has a piece delving into the ongoing saga that is the Croton Water Filtration Plan.

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!
