The P.O. Michael Buczek Little League is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Franklin Díaz made it to the minor leagues, and played in the Dominican Republic for a Royals affiliate team before a torn ligament sent him back to New York.
Díaz is one of 10 police officers that coach the Police Officer Michael J. Buczek Little League.
This past Sat., Apr. 13th marked the 25th anniversary of the league, started by Michael Buczek’s father and Sgt. Johnny Moynihan after Buczek was killed in the line of duty serving the 34th Precinct in 1988.
Although it is covered in Astroturf now, the baseball diamond at Highbridge Park was a veritable sandlot filled with rocks when the league first started.

"Recuerdo cuando era todo tierra", dijo el oficial de policía Franklin Díaz, quien jugó en la liga siendo un niño y ahora es un entrenador.
Franklin Díaz llegó a las ligas menores y jugó en la República Dominicana por el equipo afiliado Royals, antes de que una rotura de ligamentos lo enviara de vuelta a Nueva York.
Díaz es uno de los 10 agentes de la policía que entrenan la liga infantil oficial de policía Michael J. Buczek.
El pasado sábado 13 de abril se cumplieron 25 años de la liga, iniciada por el padre de Michael Buczek y el sargento Johnny Moynihan, después que Buczek muriera en la línea del deber sirviendo a la Precinto Policial 34, en 1988.
A pesar de que está cubierto de césped artificial ahora, el diamante de béisbol en Highbridge Park era un auténtico solar lleno de rocas cuando la liga comenzó.

“Este es un llamado a la acción para explorar las atracciones del Norte de Manhattan”, dijo Angelina Ramírez, directora del Distrito de Mejoramiento Comercial de Washington Heights.
Ven – y Explora.
Como cada enclave de la ciudad, el Norte de Manhattan es un lugar lleno de favoritos. Todo el mundo tiene su parque, panadería y lounge preferido.
Y este pasado lunes, 2 de abril el Distrito de Mejoramiento Comercial de Washington Heights (BID, por sus siglas en inglés) celebró el lanzamiento de Explora, una campaña de mercadeo que busca que los neoyorquinos y residentes del área disfruten de los muchos placeres que ofrece el Norte de Manhattan.
Entre algunos de los lugares favoritos para explorar de Rey Polanco está Baker’s Field y los Cloisters, y especialmente el Parque Fort Tryon.

April 8 – April 12
Did you know that “deaths from cancer and heart disease are lower in Washington Heights than in New York City” overall? We started the week with a re-posting of a provocative article about what is referred to as the “barrio advantage” via the news analysis site PRI The World. The piece posits that “there seems to be something about living in a largely Latino area that is at least partly helpful for health.”
Hip-Hop Uptown is shaping up to be quite a force. Our Monday Mood Music column featured the latest song from Andy Mineo entitled You Will. We also posted an infectious tune named The WHIN from the one and only Charlie Cruz featuring an ill verse from my brother Tellie Floyd. Speaking of Uptown Hip-Hop, the homie Kid Glory celebrated his birthday in grand style at the soft opening of Dyckman’s newest hot spot, Uptown Social (186 Dyckman). Our very own Emil Baez was there and captured some awesome images of the brand spanking new establishment.

This coming Sun., Apr. 21st, Councilmember Ydanis Rodríguez will give a State of Northern Manhattan address at 2:30 pm at Yeshiva University. The Manhattan Times spoke to Rodríguez ahead of the event.
Councilmember Rodríguez said education, economic development and housing are the key elements of a sweeping new plan he plans to unveil at his address.
“We have to move in a direction where northern Manhattan should have more economic development,” he said. “We will have a blueprint for the next 30 years.”
He said economic development is long overdue uptown and northern Manhattan has not received its share of major capital investments.

Este próximo domingo, 21 de abril, el concejal Ydanis Rodríguez ofrecerá un discurso del estado del Norte de Manhattan a las 2:30 pm en la Universidad Yeshiva. The Manhattan Times habló con Rodríguez antes del evento.
El concejal Rodríguez dijo que la educación, el desarrollo económico y la vivienda son los elementos clave de un nuevo plan de gran alcance que planea dar a conocer en su discurso.
"Tenemos que movernos en una dirección en la que el norte de Manhattan tenga más desarrollo económico", dijo. "Vamos a tener un plan de acción para el norte de Manhattan para los próximos 30 años".
Dijo que el desarrollo económico del norte de la ciudad está atrasado y el norte de Manhattan no ha recibido su parte de las inversiones de capital importantes.

A group of medical researchers, staff, patients and advocates from Columbia University Medical Center traveled to Washington D.C. to protest funding cuts.
Standing tall in northern Manhattan, the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) is an institution whose presence has long been felt.
Beyond its renown as a center of care, it is widely regarded for medical research work, which takes place across several schools.
The fruits of its labor in medical research are felt in the study of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, emphysema, and strokes.
The work at the center regularly makes headlines at medical and scientific publications; the most recent were a study linking cognitive issues to higher levels of infection in the blood and the discovery of a gene linking to Alzheimer’s in African-Americans.

Terapista Travlos “combina el Shiatsu oriental con el Sueco occidental para crear un estilo único de trabajo en el cuerpo suyo propio.”
Si usted es como yo y su idea del cielo incluye un divino masaje terapéutico, estamos con suerte.
Y si usted nunca se ha dado un masaje, pero ha estado considerando darse uno, mejor aun. ‘New Heights Chiropractic’, una de nuestras oficinas quiroprácticas del vecindario, ha añadido los servicios de masajes de Demetri Travlos. Travlos es un terapista del masaje licenciado de Washington Heights que fue entrenado en el renombrado Instituto suizo. Ya que me encanta la actividad física, y enseño varias clases a la semana, algunas veces mis músculos se ponen un poco apretados. Y ya que soy una ocupada neoyorquina, con algunas carreras, estoy bajo un poco de estrés. Algunos dias, se siente como si mis hombros estuviera pegados a mis orejas, o que mi espina dorsal nunca se estirara. Aunque la yoga y el estiramiento ayudan, no hay nada tan relajante como el tener a alguien entrenado que te de un masaje.
