While overjoyed at the historic victory of Barack Obama, I am concerned that the change we need has not come to the 33rd Senate District. Voters should have questioned Pedro Espada’s commitment to this district. We need an agent of change. We need someone who will truly represent this district, someone like Margaret Groarke. This past election, I voted for Margaret as a write-in candidate. I hope she will run in 2010. Like Barack Obama, she can go from community organizer to politically astute professor to state senator. Can Margaret Groarke be the change we need? Yes, she can.

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.
