There is now word that in July, we'll all find out how he dies. Did you know he was from The Bronx?

Whether you are already an ecology activist, or perhaps you're still struggling to sort recyclables, we all have a prime responsibility and opportunity during the week of April 22 to renew our individual and collective pledge to love the earth and tread more lightly on our planet.
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. As the urban population grows and the effects of climate change worsen, our cities must evolve.
It’s time for us to invest in efficiency and renewable energy, rebuild our cities and towns, and begin to solve our climate crisis.
SOUNDVIEW FERRY?
History clearly attributes the profound success of New York City to its ports and waterways. Rediscovering and reinventing how these same assets can be used today is what I believe this ferry service proposal represents. This proposal deserves to be tested, and it is my hope that, in partnership with your office, we can make this pilot program a reality, writes Borough President Diaz in his letter to Mayor de Blasio. Some other elected officials and organizations are joining Diaz to support the three-year pilot proposal.

RIP MICKEY ROONEY
Images
From Los Angeles, we learn about the death of 93 year old Mickey Rooney. The child actor enjoyed an extremely long career.
He was one of MGM’s biggest stars in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The show biz legend is best known for playing the boy-next-door, Andy Hardy, teaming up with Judy Garland for musicals, and starring in “National Velvet” with Elizabeth Taylor.
Rooney was married eight times, first to actress Ava Gardner. A few years ago, Rooney alleged elder abuse by his step-kids and testified at a Senate committee.
NEW YORK YANKEES

The NY Yankees excelled at home plate at their home opener by winning 4-2 against The Orioles. Baseball has officially returned to The Bronx. Opening Day happens to be an annual ritual in all major league baseball-parks. This is the reason why they call America's favorite past time. As a result, there is a petition circulated to make opening day a national holiday.
