I can assure the victims feel differently.” Local 983 president and former Parks Enforce- ment patrol offi cer Joe Puleo said he was also sur- prised by the city’s response. “If crime went up 23 percent in a precinct, they would replace the whole administration of that police department,” Puleo said. Puleo said that parks enforcement patrol offi - cer numbers simply weren’t enough to adequately patrol all the city’s parks, especially in the sum- mer when city pools and beaches are open. “You basically have nobody out there covering the parks in the summertime because of the high priority like Rockaway and Orchard beaches and Coney Island,” Puleo said. The parks enforrcement patrol is also essen- tial in responding to injuries or accidents in large parks where NYPD and FDNY are not familiar with the terrain and trails, he added. “The Police Department’s primary function is patrolling the streets of New York, not 28,000 acres of parkland,” Puleo said. “If they were to patrol that, they would take resources away from the streets. You need a collaborative effort.” According to data provided by the NYC Parks Department, the city employed 81 parks patrol members in 2005, 110 in 2010 and employed 258 in 2016. They projected 292 would be employed for the 2017 fi scal year. Calls to the parks commissioner’s offi ce for comment were not returned. Twenty-four hour patrol of city parks was scrapped years ago, Puleo said, and most parks have, at most, two patrols per day. He said the department had approximately 450 offi cers in the 1990s, but that numbers decreased dramatically under former parks administra- tions. Those numbers have not kept up with popu- lation and tourist growth, he added. “Tourism each year is reaching all-time highs,”Puleo said. “Some of these parks are be- yond capacity. They never compensated for the numbers of people who use our parks. We should have 2,000, not 200.” Councilman Rafael Salamanca, whose district includes Crotona Park, said he allocated funding to the parks in this year’s budget to help make the parks safer. “I Allocated two patrol cars as part of my capital funding, and I gave $70,000 for two Argus (brand) cameras - one in Crotona Park and one in Rainey Park - for better surveillance,” he said. “The NYPD has the money, they just need to buy the equipment.” Friends of Williamsbridge Oval president Sheila Sanchez said her group had been con- cerned in recent months over the spike in crime, but that things had seemed to improve after mem- bers met with members of the 52nd Precinct a few months ago. “There was someone who was starting fi res in the park, and that was resolved,” Sanchez said. “We had some kids snatching bags, and that too is under control.” BTR BRONX TIMES REPORTER, OCTOBER 7-13, 2016 49 BY CHRYS NAPOLITANO ing the summer and I gave best to put it through the dish- and top it with a plastic funnel I’m always looking for ways bottles away to friends and washer or in the sink with the and insert a clean coffee fi lter. to reduce waste and utilize as relatives.

BTR BRONX TIMES REPORTER, OCTOBER 7-13, 2016 81 Bronx Science girls soccer dominates on front line BY BENJAMIN LEIBOWITZ The Bronx Science girls soccer team is ready to get offensive. The Wolverines – the reigning PSAL champions – have been nothing short of unstoppable this season and the squad’s matchup against Truman on Sept. 29 was no different. Bronx Science showcased just how deep its roster was in the lopsided 11-0 victory, cruising to an- other win and, once again, getting a bit offensive. “One of the great things about this team is that the upperclassmen really make space for the incoming freshmen to be a part of the team, which takes away the pressure of being new and not knowing everyone else,” said Bronx Science coach Annie Eckstein. “[It] has really made for an effective transition.” Although there’s plenty of experience on this Wol- verines roster, there’s also a good amount of fi rst-year varsity talent and the un- derclassmen made a big- time statement in the vic- tory. Junior Meleni Rahaman opened up the scoring by converting a penalty kick just four minutes into the game. She went on to fi n- ish with three goals in the game. Melina Asteriadis then blasted a beautiful pass to freshman Sofi a Ma- heras who put it in the net in the 17th minute into the game. Maheras was every- where on offense, racking up three assists in addition to her goal. Her offensive mindset – which extends to the whole Wolverines squad – was, relatively simple.
