Awards, Elections, and Good News Volume 27, No. 10 D November 2014 www.daytonsbluff.org “The Voice of the Community” Beautiful day in the “neigh”-borhood Awards, elections, and good news Carla Riehle, Forum staff About 80 community members turned out on Monday, October 20, for the annual Dayton's Bluff community meeting. Held at the Dayton's Bluff Recre- ation Center, the event included a free dinner by Plaza del Sol, followed by re- marks from St. Paul City Council President Kathy Lantry, the presentation of the annual Roger Tetu award and election of new members of the Community Council Board of Directors. The event was chaired by Chilli Lor, award-win- ning East Side artist and activist. Greg Cosimini The St. Paul Police Mounted Patrol were spotted all over Dayton's Bluff on October 15 from Mounds Park to East 7th Street. Here they are in the alley at Euclid Street near Forest Street. Officer Jennifer Mink, left, rides Jett and Officer Hank Price rides Cowboy. They were a big hit everywhere as they – the officers, not the horses – stopped to talk with local residents. Brad Griffith From left, candidates for the board of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council: Henry STEM center breaks ground Garnica, Jennifer Johnson, Bridget Merkt, Sai Vue, Tong Thao, Jacob Lambert, and Breann Trestle. In her State of Dayton's Bluff message, Council President Lantry said that the word “groundbreaking” capsulizes the whirlwind of activity currently un- derway in the community. She pointed to the new projects that have literally broken ground in the last few weeks: the new Mississippi Market store on East 7th Street and the new Metropolitan State Science Building, as well as other enterprises that are taking off, like the Dancing Goat coffee shop and the East Side Enterprise Center at 804 Margaret Street, set for its grand opening on October 30. Dayton's Bluff artist Diane May presented the annual Roger Tetu award to a surprised Eric Zidlicky, who has earned the admiration and respect of his neighbors by daily acts of goodwill and generosity ranging from fixing neigh- bors lawnmowers and cleaning up the nearby park to delivering fresh eggs from a local source. The award celebrates “community members who offer kindness without hesita- tion on a daily basis” and is named in honor of a Dayton's Bluff neighbor who did exactly that for many years, before his tragic death in 2011 resulting from a hit-and-run accident next to his house. Culminating the program was the election Tom Cook of board members for the Dayton's Bluff Metro State University broke ground on their new Science Center at Mounds Boulevard and Community Council.

In addition to the verified fights in the linked record, he began his career in Texas while in the army, supposedly fighting Bob French (W Pts 20) and Battling Hansen (W ko 9), among others. Of course his army service gave him his nickname of "Soldier." According to the record posted on BoxRec, Bartfield had fifty-four fights against recognized world champions or title claimants. He fought generally recognized champions Harry Greb five times, Benny Leonard three times, Jack Britton seven times, Ted "Kid" Lewis six times, Mike O'Dowd four times, Mickey Walker three times, Dave Rosenberg twice, Al McCoy seven times, Mike Glover once, Billy Papke once, Jimmy Jones once, Johnny Wilson once, and Jimmy Slattery once; as well as title claimants like Mike Gibbons three times, Mick King once, Bryan Downey three times, "Kid" Graves four times, and Jock Malone once. He defeated Greb, Lewis, Britton, O'Dowd, Graves, McCoy, Downey, King and Papke. The Bridgeport Telegram 21 June 1921 Lou Bogash welterweight champion of New England and one of the leading contenders for Jack Britton's crown, won on a technical knockout from Soldier Bartfield in the third -round of their scheduled fifteen round bout at the Arena last night.

  • Can Murphy Break the Curse?
    This issue brought to you by New Jersey Governor: Can Murphy Break The Curse? By Jacob Rubashkin FEBRUARY 5, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 3 Not long ago, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was riding the wave of a re-election win into a top-tier presidential bid. A few years later, politics on the ground have shifted, and Garden State Republicans are grasping 2022 Senate Ratings for power, just hoping to stay competitive in this year’s gubernatorial contest. BATTLEGROUND New Jersey is one of two states (Virginia is the other) that will elect a Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) governor this year, posing as the appetizer for 2022, when 36 states will Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)

    Tommy Gibbons Written by Rob Snell Thursday, 03 May 2007 Thomas J. Gibbons Name: Tommy Gibbons Career Record: click Nationality: US American Birthplace: St. Paul, MN Hometown: Saint Paul, MN Born: 1891-03-22 Died: 1960-11-19 Age at Death: 69 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6' 0? Reach: 74 inches (born March 22, 1891 in St. Paul, Minnesota, died November 19, 1960) was a boxer who lost the Heavyweight Championship to Jack Dempsey in 15 rounds. The brother of Mike Gibbons, Tommy started boxing professionally in 1911 as a middleweight. Like his brother he was a master scientific boxer who chose to outbox his opponents. In time, he advanced to the Heavyweight class and developed a respectable punch. His biggest fight came near the end of his career when he met heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey on July 4, 1923 in Shelby, Montana. The local backers and the town of Shelby went broke putting on the fight. The great Dempsey battled through the full fifteen rounds before winning by decision. Dempsey was awarded $200,000, whereas Gibbons received expense money. Tommy Gibbons record was 56-4-1 with 44 no decisions, and 1 no contest. He scored 48 knockouts, and was stopped only once by Gene Tunney on June 5, 1925. The names dotting his record read like boxing's hall of fame. Tommy recorded wins over George Chip, Willie Meehan, Billy Miske, Chuck Wiggins, Jack Bloomfield, and Kid Norfolk. Tommy had no decision matches with George "K.O." Brown, Billy Miske, Harry Greb, Battling Levinsky, Bob Roper, Chuck Wiggins, Georges Carpentier, and others.
