Bronxites Walk to Find Cure for Breast Cancer

By Patricia McDow

BRONX, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 24- Marie Barbarto, along with her Mom Dorothy are breast cancer survivors. On October 20^th, Marie joined thousands of local breast cancer survivors, volunteers, business and community members at Orchard Beach as they united to fight breast cancer and save lives at the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 3K walk. This noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and funds to fight breast cancer and provides hope to all people facing the disease.

More than 229,060 women and men in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year, and more than 39,920 will die from the disease. Funds raised through Making Strides will help the American Cancer Society save lives and create more birthdays by helping people stay well by taking steps to prevent cancer or find it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking research; and by fighting back by encouraging lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

Many of the participants are already looking forward to next year October 19, 2014, hope you can join. If interested visit their website http://makingstrides.acsevents.org to join, donate or create your own team.

Pissed Senior Biker Convicted of Shooting Man in Throggs Neck

BRONX, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 14- District Attorney Robert T. Johnson announced the conviction of 63-year-old Elvio Feola, aka Spike, on charges of attempted murder and other offenses stemming from a shooting during an altercation outside a bar in Throggs Neck.

Feola, of Hollywood Avenue, the Bronx, was found guilty on one count of attempted murder in the second degree, one count of assault in the first degree, and one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree for shooting David Butler, who was 25-years-old when the incident occurred  on August 6, 2011.

Acting State Supreme Court Justice Peter Benitez set sentencing for Friday, November 15, 2013 in Part T-15. Feola is facing maximum concurrent sentences of up to 25 years imprisonment on the attempted murder and assault charges, and up to 15 years imprisonment on the illegal gun possession charge.

The jury found Feola guilty of shooting Butler once in the right side of his chest at close range with a .32-caliber revolver during a heated argument in front of the Fiddler’s Elbow Bar at 3718 East Tremont Avenue. The gun was recovered and Feola’s DNA was found on the weapon.

Butler was taken to Jacobi Hospital where he was treated for two broken ribs, a lacerated liver and a collapsed lung. The bullet fired by Feola lodged in Butler’s spine between two vertebrae and remains there because of the high risk of complications and paralysis associated with the surgery to remove it.

Feola, the longtime President of the Bronx Chapter of the Satan Soldiers Motorcycle Club, shot Butler when an argument escalated after Butler urinated too close to a motorcycle that belonged to one of Feola’s acquaintances.
