The more we know, the more unnecessary President Bush’s stent seems
October 16, 2013 By Steven E. Greer, MD
A recent short article in an obscure Washington, DC wonky journal triggered national media when it asserted that President George W. Bush’s (43rd President) coronary artery disease was far more dangerous than originally reported in August. NBC Nightly news picked up the story along with numerous other national outlets. The headline was “President Bush had a 95% blockage of the artery”.
When President Bush first received a coronary stent in August, Continue reading

Brookfield plans for a small ice rink this year
September 24, 2013- The ice rink of BPC was first located in 2010 on the ballfields and was hugely popular with TriBeCa and BPC families. It was not renewed for a year due to disputes with the contractor, then it was located for the 2012 winter far south on the Wagner Park lawn where far fewer families used it. It also killed the lawn. (The BPCA’s VP of Operations, Anne Fenton, arranged for the Wagner location).

Irish Memorial damaged for nearly a year, no repairs in sight
Update October 14, 2013- The Irish Memorial is finally being repaired.
July 4, 2013- By Steven E. Greer
On August 12th, 2012, a man in a stolen vehicle, confirmed to be intoxicated, crashed a car into the north wall of the Irish Memorial on River Terrace. The hole has never been repaired and is one of the many items of disrepair throughout the parks.
In response to BatteryPark.TV reporting, the communications team of the BPCA, Anne Fenton and Matt Monahan, appeared before the CB1 meeting on July 2nd to give updates on the repair projects. They failed to address the Irish Memorial, so we asked them.
Anne Fenton was unable to give any dates as to when the repairs would take place. In her usual manner, she was also unable to recall any specifics on the contractor chosen to do the work, (if there even is one), so she confabulated an excuse that the small hole in the wall cannot be repaired because the entire concrete floor to the museum is leaking and needs extensive repairs.
In fact, the concrete basin that holds the soil and plantings of the park had a crack and leaked from the early days of construction. The only Continue reading
