New York State Unclaimed Funds
You might be owed money…and not even know it! Banks, insurance companies, utilities, investment companies, and many other businesses are required by State law to surrender inactive accounts to the State. These accounts are known as “lost,” “abandoned,” or “unclaimed” funds.
The Office of the State Comptroller serves as custodian of this money. If you can prove you are entitled to the money, they will return it to you, at any time, without charge. Visit their easy-to-use website at www.osc.state.ny.us/ouf to search your name and find out if you are owed money…and how to claim it if you are! For any questions, call them at 1-800-221-9311.

Thousands expected for the Bronx Columbus Day Parade
As reported in the Bronx Times by David Cruz with additional reporting by Patrick Rocchio
It’s that time of year for everyone to be Italian for the day!
The annual Bronx Columbus Day Parade is set to step off at noon on Sunday, October 7, with thousands expected to line Morris Park Avenue.
Special guests include her highness, Miss Bronx Columbus, known to many as Christina Iannarino of Throggs Neck. Lead organizer Tony Signorile plans to officially crown the 16-year-old, who will receive a $10,000 scholarship from the Generoso Pope Foundation, one of the heavy financial backers for the parade.
An independent panel vetted Iannarino, a Preston High School junior with dreams of entering the field of medicine.
Grand Marshal Phil Foglia and Honorary Marshal Patricia Cassano will also be recognized.
Local restauranteur Joseph Giordano, owner of Riviera Ravioli on Arthur Avenue, will be honored with the Citizen Award for his contributions to the neighborhood.
“He does a lot for the community,” said Signorile. “He’s always there.”
Signorile’s journey in organizing New York State’s 2nd largest Columbus Day parade proved just as treacherous as Christopher Columbus’ journey to the undiscovered country.
“To be number two is getting harder and harder,” admitted Signorile.
Putting it all together
Leading the effort for the past seven years, Signorile’s been working the phones even as he balances a full-time job in Westchester.
Coordinating marching bands is often the toughest aspect of the parade, according to Signorile, mainly since the bands are committed to other parades.
Signorile, a native of Italy, boasts his heritage proudly. The longtime Morris Park resident immigrated to the states when he was 12, settling in Arthur Avenue.
“Italians have provided a lot to the world,” said Signorile, a fond lover of Italian artists Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci.
On top of four floats committed to the parade, NYPD bagpipers along with 16 music bands will lay the soundtrack for the parade.
The Bronx Trolley, a throwback to the days of pre-1930s travel, will also snail along Morris Park Avenue.
The parade steps off at noon from Morris Park Avenue and White Plains Road, and marches to a reviewing stand at Williamsbridge Road.
Prior to the parade, there will be a mass and a parade breakfast for the marchers sponsored by Mary Queen of Peace Council of the Knights of Columbus at St. Dominic Church.
