Pancakes and a Parade: The Tradition Continues The History of the Jews in 9 New Rochelle Chronicled 15 com December 2013 -- Volume 9 -- Issue 12 Complimentary Special City 325th Anniversary Float Highlights Thanksgiving Parade By Stephen E. Lipken A special float, commemorating the 325th An- niversary of the City of New Rochelle highlighted the November 23 Valenti-New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. The Grand Marshal was Domenic Procopio, Chairman of New Rochelle’s Civil Service Commission But that was only a small part of the floats, bands, antique vehicles and new to the parade, Peruvian Dancers, demonstrating the rich cultural heritage of New Rochelle. Iona College fielded a huge “Mayflow- er” display, running on bulldozer treads and sounding a horn reminiscent of a diesel locomotive whistle, as well as a giant inflatable “Killian the Gael” mascot on a float incorporating all Iona athletic teams plus the college’s renowned Bagpipe Band. Monroe College presented an elaborate float with the Statue of Liberty and two bright blue “Mustang” mascots. Chamber of Commerce featured a giant turkey; “Boss Tone” and “Sass Transit” (roller derby names) from Suburbia Roller Derby sported helmets with Chanukah dreidels and royal blue menorah. Some marchers promoted social awareness and responsibility, such as New Rochelle Humane Society, Salvation Army, American Red Cross and drum corps from Habitat for Humanity. Clowns joined the festivities, as well as midget fire truck, “Little Squirt, Engine Company 273.” Before the parade, a Pancake Breakfast was served in New Rochelle High School cafeteria. Seen outside the cafeteria was New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence, (www.nredfund.org) supporting projects that school budget cannot fund, from kindergarten to 12th grade. -

THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10Th Street, Brooklyn
Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12, 1988; Designation List 206 LP-1636 THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10th Street, Brooklyn. Built 1927. Inventor Harry c. Baker. Engineer Vernon Keenan. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 8697, Lot 4 in part consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 15, 1987, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the cyclone and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 12). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Six witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the ride's owner, whose support was given dependant upon his ability to perform routine repair and maintenance. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary Descended from the ice slides enjoyed in eighteenth-century Russia, through the many changes incorporated by French and American inventors, the Cyclone has been one of our country's premier roller coasters since its construction in 1927. Designed by engineer Vernon Keenan and built by noted amusement ride inventor Harry C. Baker for Jack and Irving Rosenthal, the Cyclone belongs to an increasingly rare group of wood-track coasters; modern building codes make it irreplaceable. The design of its twister-type circuit and the enormous weight of the cars allow the trains to travel on their own momentum after being carried up to the first plunge by mechanical means. Now part of Astroland amusement park, the Cyclone is not only a well recognized feature of Coney Island, where the first "modern" coaster was built in 1884, but, sadly, is the only roller coaster still operating there. -
Westchester County and New Rochelle Background
5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS New Rochelle’s location on Westchester’s Long Island Sound shore places it within one of the state’s wealthiest counties. According to 1995 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, Westchester has New York’s fourth- highest median income, at $53,043. Only Putnam, Nassau, and Rockland, also New York City suburbs, and all much smaller in size than Westchester’s 443 square miles, has a greater median income. 5.1.1 WESTCHESTER COUNTY: HISTORY As shown in the map at left, Westchester County borders, on its south, the New York City borough of the Bronx. According to historian Frank E. Sanchis, this location at New York City’s doorstep has “always put it in the center of activity relative to the balance of the nation.” Indeed, Westchester’s development has historically been fueled by its proximity to what has been, since 1820, America’s largest city. Before the days of railroads or highways, Westchester had the trade routes of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. In the 18th century, the primitive post roads to Albany and Boston were cut through Westchester’s rolling, wooded hills. When New York City’s population boomed after the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, Westchester furnished many of the city’s raw and finished goods. Iron foundries were located throughout the county, and Westchester’s numerous brickyards and marble quarries provided the materials for the thousands of row houses and monumental new institutional buildings spreading across Manhattan. When Newgate Prison in Greenwich Village was no longer adequate, it was replaced in 1828 by Sing Sing, “up the river” in Westchester County. -
An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety. -
