After missing the Giants 20-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills at Super Bowl XXV in 1991, Cox attended two more Giant Super Bowls: Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida which the Giants lost 34-7 to the Baltimore Ravens and Super Bowl XLII in 2008 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Several months ago a student from Ursuline threatened my daughter. She continued bullying my child to the point where i considered reporting it to the authorities. I was able to get the phone number of the bully's mother & called her with the hope that as a parent she would have a conversation with her daughter & help to resolve the issue. That mother's response was that she doesn't get involved in her daughter's affairs! my next plan of action was to write a letter to Ursuline's principal, but i was discouraged by others to do so for fear of repercussions on my daughter. Now i feel remorseful that i did not go through with my intentions to request that Ursuline strongly enforce a policy against bullying. I might have made a positive difference. I don't know all the details surrounding Eira's death, but i do know that as parents we need to stop making excuses for our children. as parents we need to support one another regardless of race, class or creed, so that our children will feel supported. It is so sad what our society has come to. Such a beautiful soul lost at such a tender age. May God Bless Eira's family with strength to get through this horrible tragedy.

A recent traffic incident in which New Rochelle High School swim coach Edward "Kip" Fierro caused a three car collision landing a local elementary school teacher in the hospital and him into police custody has brought to light a lucrative deal Fierro and his family have enjoyed for many years at the expense of New Rochelle taxpayers.

The staggering amounts of money involved raises serious questions as to the motivation of school officials involved.

Talk of the Sound spoke with a number of current and former employees of the New Rochelle Board of Education, parents, students and others familiar with the New Rochelle swimming pool and swim programs. They tell us that Kip Fierro has worked for the New Rochelle Board of Education as a Teaching Assistant and Swim Coach as far back as 1997, and possibly longer. He is paid a salary, benefits and accrues a pension. His school day responsibilities largely entail serving as a life guard at the pool. He coaches the boys and girls swim team. His pay and benefits are a pittance to what he makes running the Badger Swim Club out of New Rochelle High School.

The Ursuline School in Mourning, Feb 1, 2012

"The Ursuline School is deeply saddened by the loss of a fine young member of our school community. Our hearts and prayers are with our student's family in their grief. We have visited the family and offered comfort. We have held special assemblies for all of our students, who are in mourning. We have made available extra counselors to students and staff. We appreciate prayers of support."

Highly Dense Housing Proposed for New Rochelle's Downtown by Peggy Godfrey

Russell Albanese, chairman of the Albanese company, and George Andrus presented their vision for a highly dense housing development in New Rochelle. An initial set of apartments along with a five deck parking garage would be build on a downtown city parking lot in the southern section of the City. Eventually these buildings could be followed by another seven story garage at the present Church-Division site along with an 23-24 story apartment building with 550 housing units. The project would be developed in several phases.
