I was intrigued to find that many of the first baptisms were performed by Jesuit priests with French names: Jouin, Daubresse, Doucet, Bienvenue. The pastor was Irish, Fr. John Ryan, which was expected in a congregation that was almost all Irish. But why were French priests here? The short answer is that they were from St. John's College (now Fordham University) and they were mostly French because Archbishop Hughes wanted Jesuits from the Province of France not the American Province to teach at St.

  • Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application
    DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION INITIATIVE APPLICATION BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Mid‐Hudson Region Municipality Name: The City of Yonkers Downtown Name: Yonkers Downtown County Name: Westchester County VISION FOR DOWNTOWN The City of Yonkers seeks Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) funds to build on the recent redevelopment momentum in our compact downtown by investing in local assets to attract jobs, private investment and continue to transform the distressed downtown area into a vibrant, diverse and economically active transit‐oriented hub. Yonkers will develop a Strategic Investment Plan which considers these crucial developments: the continuation of the Saw Mill River Daylighting through a Phase 4, the redevelopment of Chicken Island, a property that has been vacant for decades and is the gateway to the downtown, and finally the Yonkers Greenway, which is the repurposing of an abandoned rail line into a trail through downtown. These are vital pieces of Yonkers’ revitalization efforts that will be major catalysts in the City’s economic renaissance for years to come. JUSTIFICATION Yonkers still faces severe economic challenges & the DRI funding is sorely needed, despite its many successes & building of momentum. Downtown Yonkers urgently needs to create & sustain long‐term recovery of this distressed target area (see photos). According to the 2010 Census, there are 12 contiguous Census Tracts within the downtown & the surrounding neighborhoods where 25% or more of the population lives below the national poverty level. More than half the target area earns less than 30% of the area median income, which is $107,400 within Westchester County. These areas suffer from higher unemployment rates than the City, state and national average.

  • Three Rivers of Yonkers a Curriculum for 4Th and 5Th Grades
    Three Rivers of Yonkers A Curriculum for 4th and 5th Grades Lesson plans, resources and maps: An interdisciplinary approach to urban environmental education in the classroom focusing on the Hudson River, Bronx River, and Saw Mill River. © Produced by: Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak in partnership with Yonkers Public Schools (2015) Introduction The “Three Rivers” curriculum was designed and developed in partnership between the Yonkers Public Schools (www.yonkerspublicschools.org) and the Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) www.centerfortheurbanriver.org . The Three Rivers of Yonkers curriculum offers six interdisciplinary units of study that align with the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. This curriculum was created Tby a team of teachers from Yonkers Public Schools with support and guidance from the District’s administration, and staff from the former Beczak Environmental Education Center and the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak. This new curriculum will help stimulate students’ interest in science at an early age and will encourage students to become stewards of the Hudson, Bronx, and Saw Mill Rivers. It is hoped that it will also motivate students to develop life-long habits of environmental citizenship. Of the six units, three are designed to be taught at the end of grade four and three at the beginning of grade five. Each unit is composed of four lessons connected to one another through an “essential question” that directs the themed investigation of the topic. Each lesson integrates English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as the usage of technology and art.

  • THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies
    SPRING 2019 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors While perhaps not at first apparent, the articles in this issue share a common theme—struggle. The Dutch colonists had to carve a home out of the New World wilderness. Two centuries later, descendants of the original inhabitants of a part of that world (which wasn’t entirely wilderness after all) tried to reclaim their sovereignty. Just fifty years after that, women undertook a march from New York City to Albany to assert their right to vote and gain adherents for their cause. Finally, while the rise and fall of Albany’s lumber district perhaps doesn’t readily seem to fit the theme, here, too, a struggle took place to establish and maintain a community on and around it. This latter essay underscores the essential role of technological innovation, a concept that leads us to a second underlying theme of this issue—progress. Sometimes welcome, sometimes not, for better or worse it is always unstoppable. Call for Essays The Hudson River Valley Review will consider essays on all aspects of the Hudson River Valley — its intellectual, political, economic, social, and cultural history, its prehistory, architecture, literature, art, and music — as well as essays on the ideas and ideologies of regionalism itself.

  • Yonkers in the Twentieth Century
    1 “Queen City of the Hudson” Yonkers in the Early Twentieth Century Theodore Roosevelt and the Visiting Firemen hortly before the dawn of the twentieth century, the City of Yonkers Srolled out the red carpet for a very distinguished visitor: Governor Theodore Roosevelt. The occasion was the twenty‑seventh annual con‑ vention of the New York State Firemen’s Association. The selection of Yonkers to host this important gathering marked the coming of age of a municipality long overshadowed by its gigantic neighbor to the south. Perhaps no one was more keenly aware of this than Mayor Leslie Suther‑ land who declared that the firemen’s convention signaled the start of a new era for the “Queen City of the Hudson.” In preparation for the arrival of more than three hundred conven‑ tion delegates the city went all out. Flags were everywhere, and not just American flags. Flying side by side with the Stars and Stripes were the flags of Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, and France. Colorful bunting adorned shops and private homes. Huge pieces of canvas bearing paintings of uniformed firefighters hung from the facades of buildings. Although the quality of these brightly colored artworks varied, the messages they bore were consistently positive. “Welcome to the Gallant Firemen,” “The Town is Yours,” and “Honor the Brave” were some of the memorable sayings that enlivened the banners.1 As if this weren’t enough to convince the visitors that Yonkers welcomed them with open arms, the city erected what The New York Times dubbed “Yonkers’s crowning glory, the pride of Yonkers’s heart.”2 What the Times described so effusively was actually a triumphal arch in Getty Square.

  • Direct Technical Mentoring Lawrence Street Brownfield Area-Wide Planning Grant Groundwork Hudson Valley Yonkers, New York
    Direct Technical Mentoring Lawrence Street Brownfield Area-wide Planning Grant Groundwork Hudson Valley Yonkers, New York Groundwork Hudson Valley (HV) is an organization that engages local businesses, residents and government officials to revitalize neighborhoods and transform community liabilities into community assets. Groundwork HV was awarded an EPA Area-wide Brownfields Planning Grant for one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in the New York region. The area known locally as the Lawrence Street Neighborhood in Yonkers, NY has the highest crime rate in the City of Yonkers, the second highest rate of poverty, thousands of under-skilled youth that make up nearly half of the population, and among the highest percentage of people born outside of the United States in the region. Running directly through the Lawrence Street neighborhood is the abandoned Getty Square branch railroad right of way (ROW), a contiguous series of vacant and contaminated properties. These constitute the catalyst brownfield sites for the area-wide planning. The railroad ROW’s reuse as a trail is the central idea around which neighborhood revitalization would be planned. Getty Square Branch RR ROW, Yonkers, NY Groundwork HV requested NJIT TAB assistance for a number of tasks in support of the Lawrence Street area-wide brownfield planning grant. NJIT TAB conducted preliminary grant activities that provided a foundation for advancing the grant requirements. Development of Mapping NJIT TAB prepared a series of maps for Groundwork HV that they could use for stakeholder meetings, community workshops, grant applications, and requests for proposals. The maps included: a base map of the entire rail ROW area; a map indicating the location of the rail ROW; a base map of the Lawrence Street Neighborhood; and a map depicting the Lawrence Street Neighborhood land uses.
