As Frank Camuso and his wife Christine get older, and see their kids begin to grow up too, and start families of their own, it makes them want to instill these ideas in their children – so that important family traditions can continue to live on. And hopefully stand the test of time, to be passed down for generations to come.

As a lifelong Staten Island resident, Frank Camuso has very fond memories of spending the holidays with family and friends, enjoying all that Staten Island has to offer. While the holidays are always a great time for Frank Camuso and his family, nothing beats the comradery of Thanksgiving on the island. As a kid, Thanksgiving break is always something you look forward to. Not having to wake up early in the morning, just to get on that crowded school bus with your fellow classmates, one louder than the next. Only to have been dropped off for a full day of school. Having the time off meant infinite playtime for Frank Camuso and his friends in their youth. They all look back on fond memories of playing stickball and pickup basketball games, with their neighborhood friends. But today Thanksgiving is all about the family. With such busy lives, Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, take as much time as possible to spend with their kids.

For Frank Camuso and others in his age group, Thanksgiving is way different now than it ever was. Rather than taking the ferry into the city and trying to see what type of trouble they can get into, Frank and his friends make sure to get their families together and spend more time reminiscing than anything else. At the Camuso house, everyone is welcome during this time of year. Old friends gather one by one, each with a group of kids in tow. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and distant relatives make their way in and out of the house throughout the days. Some staying for dinner and an after-dinner cocktail, while others just stop by to say hello, before moving onto their in-laws. Regardless of who stops by, the hallmark of Thanksgiving on Staten Island has always been family.

While things might be different these days, with new technology and an app for anything you could think of - Staten Island has always maintained its family roots. Much of Staten Island is made of mostly 2nd and 3rd generation Italians, and the Italian culture is one that places family above all else. For Frank Camuso, one of the most important parts of the Thanksgiving season is giving back to those less fortunate than he and his family. The Camuso family has made sure to take part in Staten Island's Family-to-Family, program for the past few years. The program is part of an initiative that helps families in need around the holidays. While Staten Island is mostly middle class, there has been a steady rise in poverty rates over the last few years. And much of those people living below the poverty line are families. So Frank Camuso, his wife Christine, and a number of their close friends donate much of their time and resources around the holidays to helping those in need. They have arranged food and clothing drives, helping those who simply can't afford to give their children a nice Thanksgiving dinner or a warm jacket to brave the fall and winter months. Having been a Staten Islander all his life, Frank Camuso has seen its ups and downs. And in the year 2012, seeing all the families that were left homeless or without anything after Hurricane Sandy, he and his family have vowed to do what they can to help those in need, especially around the holidays. For anyone looking to help out with the cause, and help families in need during the holidays, Staten Island's Family-to-Family is partnering with the Food Bank of New York to provide groceries and much more. This Thanksgiving be thankful for all that you have and help give back to those in need.

One of the most exciting things is hearing about the Frank Camuso one of their favorite Staten Island Yankees being 'called-up' and getting a chance to play for the major league team. For more information about his family visit www.frankcamuso.com

For Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso and his significant other Christine, such news is preposterous, as having children of their own they would be crushed to discover that their kids were being made to burn through at least 8 hours per day in a sweltering classroom, perspiring over their books and in a climate that is relatively difficult to learn in. "I can't envision spending my day in a classroom on multi-day like today, particularly without cooling? I don't know how that is conceivable.

Pet Rescue All Over NYC

Staten Island has experienced one of the biggest rejuvenations and resurgences of arts and culture of any other borough, in recent times. Besides the arts and culture scene, recent real estate, and industrial booms have seen a number of young professional flock to the borough. While some are resistant to such change, longtime native Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine are excited by all the influx in community activities and positive attractions now available all over the borough. One of the newest initiatives available on Staten Island is the Pet Rescue. For years some Staten Island neighborhoods were ravaged by crime and drugs, and to a lesser extent stray dogs and cats all over the streets.

Community organizers and animal advocacy groups have banded together to provide homes for dozens of homeless pets, who were either abandoned by their owners or were donated by individuals who could no longer care for them. Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso have long since been about family and creating a quality home environment for their children and relatives. With such ideals, Staten Island makes a great place for such initiatives, as it is families who often take the best care of pets. With pet's consistency is most important, and Frank Camuso and his wife Christine strive to keep a consistent, loving home; making them just one of the many families on Staten Island that would make the perfect home for such amazing creatures.

Like any other industry, pet rescue has taken to new forms of marketing their practice. They have begun to use the internet and chosen pets of the week, who have been around for a long time and just need the right family to take a chance on them. This coming weekend there are 18 pets of the week to adopt on Staten Island (not to mention countless others). The Bissel Pet Foundation is presenting the "Empty the Shelters" event on Saturday, May 5th, where patrons can adopt a new pet of their choice, making a homeless pet's dreams come true.

The group has chosen to wave any adoption fees for any pets adopted this weekend, giving families like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, even more incentive to adopt this weekend. Other local rescue groups participating include ACC of NYC, from 10am to 6pm at the Staten Island Care Center and Louie's Legacy, at PetSmart on Forest Avenue from 11am to 3pm. Join Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso as they help these pets find the home they deserve. For those not on Staten Island, another popular event taking place in NYC is Jackson Galaxy's Cat Camp event, at the Penn Plaza Pavillion in Manhattan, both Saturday and Sunday.

Almond drain is much lower in calories, and standard almond drain doesn't raise the glucose inside the body. Some almond drain is just around 40 calories, 3x not as much as a some dairy drain. Drain is given to youthful youngsters since it can enable them to put on weight in a period when they have to develop – while it's as yet unfortunate, I do see the benefits. For grown-ups like Frank Camuso and his significant other Christine, the exact opposite thing you have to pick up an additional 20-30 pounds for reasons unknown.

NYC locals like Frank Camuso and his significant other Christine have dependably had an extraordinary place in their heart for expressions of the human experience and culture. The period of November, November eighth to be correct, marks the 90th birthday celebration of a standout amongst the most cherished, and by a long shot the most famous, Disney characters ever, Mickey Mouse. Furthermore, to observe Disney has joined forces up with the city of New York, to convey an astonishing new show to the Chelsea neighborhood, called "Mickey: The True Original Exhibition".

 Most Haunted Places on Staten Island Frank camuso

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Despite being one of the more forgotten boroughs, Staten Island has quite a rich history - dating back all the way to the mid-1600's, before even our nation itself! Part of the rich history of Staten Island has been the presence of spirits, ghosts, and otherworldly creatures. Staten Island natives like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine have always had a bit a hidden quirkiness to them. And while Staten Islanders seemingly appear to be more family-oriented people these days, their history offers a lot of mystery and intrigue. In recent years as the summer days grow shorter, and begin to bleed into the fall, more and more Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso ready themselves for ghost tours, and haunted houses - indicating the fall is here, and Halloween is right around the corner. But where exactly did all this hoopla over ghosts come from? For years Staten Island's isolation from the other boroughs has caused many to assume much of Staten Island is haunted by more than just the fumes of the city's dump. Some of these so-called haunted sites are places that the natives frequent quite often as well. And it isn't just the kids, and teens that are in on the action. Many of the ghost stories of Staten Island have originated from years back, and the tradition of passing these tales down to the next generation seems to be alive and well. So if you're looking to get your fall frights in early this year, here is a list of the top haunted places to visit on Staten Island.

Richmond Town

While every town or city has their fair share of ghost stories, natives of Staten Island like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine claim the borough is home to some of the most truly spooky tales in US history. The first destination for any true ghost hunter has for to be the old historic town of Richmond. The Parsonage House, a former church and restaurant, the Parsonage House has been abandoned for some time. But passerby's claim that on random nights they can see what can only be described as candlelight flickering in many of the bedroom windows. This has been the site of a number of different ghost hunter explorations in years past.

The Conference House

Built towards Staten Island's inception in 1680, by an English Royal Navy officer Christopher Billop, the Tottenville Conference House is supposedly haunted by the ghost of a maid who once served the naval officer. Growing up Frank Camuso remembers the tale of the officer going mad one night and stabbing his maid to death. Many claim to hear her spirit and even see the maid's apparition perusing the halls by candlelight on random nights. Built over the outskirts of an ancient Indian burial ground, this was once called one of the most haunted places in America.

Snug Harbor

A favorite destination of Frank Camuso and his family, Snug Harbor has a long history of hauntings and ghost sightings. Explored by countless ghost hunting teams, Snug Harbor has been the subject of a number of paranormal documentaries. There is even a new Snug Harbor ghost tour running until October 27th of this year. Areas on the grounds are generally closed to the public and have been part of eerie news in the past - the Music Hall, the Matron's House, the Butcher's Cottage, and the Surgeon's House are the prime spots to try and catch a ghost.

Garibaldi-Meucci Museum

Located in Rosebank, this gothic-style home has been the sight of countless paranormal experiences - many of which were captured in some capacity by the former residents. Many say the home is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is angry that her kitchen was removed from the home. Others claim to hear the coughing of a woman Ester, a former resident, whose husband buried her in the front yard.

There's many more spots to see on Staten Island, and a number of different guided ghost tours to go on. Do your homework, and see what spots you'd like to visit this Halloween if you dare.

Are There Too Many Cars on Staten Island?

Aptly-named the borough of cars, Staten Island is by far the most car-dependent borough in all of New York City. With a constantly growing population, and the city's worst, most insufficient public transportation system - Staten Islanders, like Frank Camuso and his family, need their cars more than anybody else in the five boroughs. Staten Island has always been the black-sheep of the NYC family -getting the short end of the stick more often, than not, in more ways than you can count. From being home to the city dump, and being called the smelliest borough, to terrible roads, less frequent snow & trash removal - the history of Staten Island has been quite an unfair one to say the least.

However, in recent years the city has begun a bit of a reclamation project on Staten Island, in an effort to raise property values, and simply make life more livable for citizens like Frank Camuso and others in similar situations. Despite recent efforts, to bring more activities, engaging exhibits, industry, and more to Staten Island - the lack of efficient bus routes, and a single railway that ONLY services the Eastern Shore has forced residents like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, to rely solely on cars for their family's transportation. In other boroughs, like Manhattan and Brooklyn, it wouldn't be a surprise to find a family of 3 or 4 ride the subway to enjoy a fun-filled, family Saturday. But for Staten Islanders, such a trip besides being next to impossible, would make for a hellish day of delays and frustrations. And now with the public transportation issues, and more and more citizens driving - it has created major traffic issues across the borough on almost a daily basis. The borough president, James Oddo and his staff have looked into recent Staten Island vehicle statistics and some of the results were staggering. While Staten Island ranks 4th in terms of the number of total cars per borough, the small population makes these numbers a bit confusing. If you were to divide the cars by the number of households, Staten Island dwarfs every other borough by a wide margin.

On average, a Staten Island household like Frank Camuso and his family, has an average of over 1 and a half cars. The next closest is Queens, with just about 1 car per household. This is a very interesting number, as on average, the average number of cars per household for the entirety of NYC is far below 1! And when you divide up the stats even further, and break Staten Island into the Mid-Island, and North & South Shores - the South Shore averages almost 2 full cars per household! Well above the NYS state average, and even most national averages. And these statistics seem obvious when one is to look at the traffic on the south shore, as well as the lack of public transportation services. For car reliant natives of Staten Island like Frank Camuso there simply isn't another option, its either sit in traffic for an hour and a half or stay home. Even the north shore, that has more bus, and even a railway option averages about 1.32 cars per household - close to double the average for most of NYC.

While this problem will continue to worsen, as populations continue to rise, and Staten Island real estate has become a bit more in-demand. As more and more young professionals are starting families, they are trading in their rental apartments for the comforts of a Staten Island "starter-home". The problem has gotten to be so big that Mayor de Blasio is working alongside Staten Island officials to hopefully bolster the public transportation issues, and possibly even institute a special

tax-incentive for those families that can reduce their vehicle use - but of course, like everything else on Staten Island, this initiative is likely to take a long time to get in motion.

Staten Islanders Prepare for the After-Effects Hurricane Florence

This week citizens along the entire Eastern seaboard have been anxiously anticipating for Hurricane Florence to make landfall. Hurricane Florence is the latest in what seems to be almost a constant string of tropical storms to be hitting the shores of the United States and has already touched down near the famous coastal city of Cape Fear, North Carolina. While early reports had New Yorkers, like much of the east coast in fear for what was to come. Businesses everywhere were planning for the worst, shuttering their doors, and double barricading their windows for what was to come. Staten Island residents like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, have been stocking up on non-perishables, like water, and canned foods - so much so, that many of the grocery stores Frank Camuso and his family frequent are lined with barren shelves, and some aisles appearing completely bare.

Such is to be expected for a borough like Staten Island, as the residents here know all too well that Staten Island is less equipped than many other East Coast cities to handle even a sudden change in tides, let alone an entire tropical storm and a category 4 or 5 hurricane. The beaches on Staten Island were never in the best condition and the ranch style properties near the water, plus the lack of drainage on major roadways in Staten Island make it one of the worst places to be during a big storm such as this one. And for most, these issues seemed to cause a bit of hysteria. Frank Camuso remarked that besides the empty super market shelves, he could see neighbors boarding up their basement windows and some even planning trips or taking shelter amongst family members for the week.

Luckily, despite the hysteria that the storm caused upon making landfall in North Carolina, meteorologists say that they will be downgrading Hurricane Florence down to a Category 3 storm - a lot more manageable. Also changing winds and other weather conditions on land, should have New Yorkers breathing a bit easier - as the tropical force winds have shifted towards the Southeast and the brunt of the storm seems to be heading farther and farther away from New York City. So what exactly can we in Staten Island expect from what will be left of Florence? Pretty much the same as we would have otherwise, just on a much smaller scale. New Yorkers, and especially Staten Islanders are warned to be prepared for dangerous rip currents, violent and unpredictable waves or surf, and most notably for Staten Islanders, beach erosion - relieving Staten Island of an already diminished sandy coastline. While this may alter weekend plans for New Yorkers in the other 4 boroughs, Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso and his family are advised to simply stay home, and try their best to avoid areas near the coastal shores - difficult to ask when your borough is surrounded completely by water.

Earlier in the week, President Trump was briefed by FEMA reps in regard to the storm, and made the statement that he expects Florence to be the worst storm to ever make landfall in the US - and while this will no longer be the case, residents of the Carolinas, Virginia, and major cities near the coast will still experience some devastating effects. It is estimated that over 1 million people will be fleeing their homes as a result of the storm.

Staten Island is quite possibly New York's most forgotten borough. A place where there simply isn't too much to do, and even less to celebrate - and with so few activities, and attractions within the borough, local Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso become huge sports fans, and even find themselves rooting for one of many local high schools on the island. Sports has always been a big thing for the people of the borough, and practicing, rooting for, and playing sports has been a big release for many of us over the years. With so much time to focus on sports, its no wonder Staten Island is home to a huge number of professional athletes, in a wide range of sports. From NFL stars, Major Leaguers, basketball players, and even racquetball phenoms - Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso have been treated to a number of different local super stars getting their chance to play with some of the best in the world in their respective fields. When asked what he though about it Frank Camuso responded, "Staten Island is an interesting place to grow up. While there wasn't much to do here over the years, a few things were always the same. Growing up family was always important, and for a lot of us our family's influence is what kept us out of trouble. An idle mind is a bad thing, and playing sports provided a release for many of us growing up. The ones who focused on it the most became the stars, and it makes you proud that they come from the same place you did." So without further ado, here are a few of the most popular Staten Island natives to make it big in professional sports.
· Bobby Thomson
A favorite of Frank Camuso, despite being a few years before his time - baseball fans will always remember the famous highlights of Bobby Thomson's home run, "The Shot Heard 'Round the World". A member of the New York Giants in the 40's and 50's, Thomson had one of the best careers of any player who played post-WWII.
· Nicky Anosike
Nicky was an inspiration for women and girls in Staten Island for years, with her outstanding play for St. Peter's Highschool. She went on to be a superstar for the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers, wining two national championships in her four years! She also played in the WNBA for 5 seasons.
· Jason Marquis
One of the best pitchers to ever come out of Staten Island, the right handed phenom was the 35th overall draft pick immediately out of Tottenville HS in 1996. He went on to start in the World Series for the Cardinals, and made an All-Star team in his time. He was inducted into the SI Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
· Adewale Ogunleye
Another Tottenville HS alum, Ogunleye was a star defensive end in both the NFL and during his time at Indiana University. Frank Camuso was a huge fan during his years at Tottenville, as well as during his time on the Chicago Bears professional team. Was a Pro-Bowl selection in 2003, and helped the Bears make the Super Bowl in 2007.
· Joe Andruzzi
And a 3rdTottenville alum, Andruzzi was a star offensive lineman for the Huguenots and entered the NFL as a free agent, after spending time at the division II college football level, at Southern Connecticut State. Andruzzi was a part of 3 Super Bowl winning teams with the New England Patriots during their amazing run in the early 2000's.

Paint and Sip Events Becoming a Big Hit on Staten Island

More than anything else, Staten Island needs more activities to bring the community together. For years on end, Staten Island was thought to be the forgotten borough. Left out of most development, or reclamation projects - Staten Island has always been in desperate need of the makeover boroughs like Brooklyn and Manhattan have been able to receive. From stadiums, water-front parks, and interesting pop-up or exhibits, NYC has been home to constant advancement. Something that has been beneficial to the residents of these areas, caused property values to rise, and turned much of NYC's outer boroughs into popular destinations for tourism. Staten Island natives like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine are tired of Staten Island being forgotten about and are happy to see some of these interesting development projects slowly making their way across the Verrazano. Frank Camuso and his family, having lived here their entire lives, have traditionally had to venture to Brooklyn or Manhattan to enjoy an evening out or Sunday afternoon of high-end shopping. But recently Staten Islanders themselves have tried their best to bring the fun back to the island. Every weekend it seems more and more family activities are making a bigger and bigger splash on Staten Island - and those who have been here the longest hope that the recent forays into the arts, and culture persuade developers to bring larger-scale projects, and increased property values to their home soon.

One of the most interesting new trends to have taken over Staten Island and much of New York City has been coined as paint and sip events. A popular date-night activity for Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, enjoying a few glasses (or bottles!) of wine, while they try their hand at painting on an actual easel, using actual paint, and brushes - who knew bringing back a childhood favorite activity, and adding a few glasses of wine could be so fun! not just for couples looking for a date, Frank Camuso has introduced much of his family to the pain and sip craze, bringing along siblings, cousins, parents, aunts, and uncles along for the fun.

While the activity might be new for most, the concept behind it isn't. individuals all over, of almost any age, love flexing their artistic muscles. And while few of us truly have the talent it takes to make a living in the cutthroat world of art, we all would love to give it a try. Considering the fear of failure seems to hold most of us back, bringing in a few glasses of wine to loosen you up doesn't seem to the be the worst idea! The fact is that whether you are able to paint something that resembles a Picasso or something that looks like it came from the desk of a second grader, it doesn't really matter it's all about doing something fun, with people you enjoy being around. And most people know they aren't very good - Frank Camuso considers himself to be terrible, but with the right glass of wine, any painting looks like it belongs at the MOMA. If you are looking for a paint and sip event for you and your friends & family to enjoy, there are plenty popping up all over the island and other parts of NYC. One of the most popular though is Staten Island Paint Nite - the licensee is SI native, Renee Sarno. She also offers events that are for all ages, including children's Paint With Me events.

Every March Catholics around the world, and pretty much every Italian man, woman, and child will be celebrating one of the most important days in Italian culture - St. Joseph's Day. As in Italian man, Frank Camuso has grown up looking forward to St. Joseph's day, and the feast that generally accompanies it. Especially growing up in the mostly Italian borough of Staten Island, Frank Camuso and pretty much every kid on his block were anxiously awaiting what their mother would be making for St. Joseph's Day.

San Giuseppe, as Sicilians know him, is the Patron Saint of Workers and during a time of immense drought, crop devastation, and overall widespread hunger - peasants lined the streets of Sicily praying to St. Joseph hoping that it would rain - a tradition that dates all the way back to middle ages. Frank Camuso can remember hearing his mother growing up, praying that it would rain - probably to get out of a trip to her in-laws.

So as the story goes, the peasants promised that if indeed the droughts ended, and the crops came back, they would throw an incredible feast in honor of both God, and St. Joseph. And therein started the tradition of a tremendous Italian feast marking St. Joseph's Day. St. Joseph's Day like smaller Catholic holidays associated with the saints, has a number of little quirks and interesting traditions associated with it, especially when it comes to food! As Frank Camuso says, "St. Joseph's Day is the most Italian day of the year, full of food, family, the church, and random superstitions." So here are 6 important food items to know for St. Joseph's Day this year, and pretty much every other year as well!

Fava Beans - Superstition to the Max
One of the most interesting superstitions Frank Camuso was referring to be the use of "lucky" Fava beans, ironically blessed by the Father or Priest. The blessing makes them lucky, so Italians, especially on St. Joseph's Day should carry them around - granting them the overall good fortune and to never go broke.

Breadcrumbs
Italians breadcrumbs thought breadcrumbs resemble sawdust, so for good luck, and as a nod to Joseph's job as a carpenter, on St. Joseph's Day you put breadcrumbs everywhere. (again....because they are supposed to resemble sawdust)

Pasta ConSarde
The traditional meal for St. Joseph's Day and Frank Camuso and his family's favorite pasta coarse. Every Italian should at least order some in for the day. Sardines, pine nuts, raising, currants - traditional Sicilian fare at its best.

Citrus Fruits Galore
Make sure to brighten up your family feast with as many citrus fruits as possible. Includes St. Joseph's Day and Frank Camuso favorites like oranges, limes, lemons, and even the blood orange!

San Giuseppe Bread
A specialty loaf designed just for this day. Most bakeries on Staten Island and other Italians areas will have it. Includes a cross or shepherds staff emblazoned on the top.

SFINCI
Keeping with the Italian bakery theme. Sfinci is an Italian specialty pastry made for St. Joseph's Day. Also a favorite of Frank Camuso and his family, the pastry includes fried zeppole piped with the rich custard or cannoli cream sprinkled generously with powdered sugar. It is pronounced SU-FEEN-GEE for those who didn't know.

St. Joseph's Day might be a long way away, but its never to early to get ready for a close family, Italian or not! Find out more about all the amazing feasts in Italian culture.

Amazon's Newest Fulfillment Center in Staten Island

In the past few years, before our very eyes, Amazon has all but taken over the world! Going from what was a fledgling e-commerce platform, to the world's largest, and probably most convenient marketplace - in only a matter of years, Amazon has recently opened up its newest fulfillment center in NYC - located right on Staten Island. And Staten Island natives like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine are excited about what this could mean for the future of their borough. Growing up, Frank Camuso had to always deal with the negative stereotypes that seemed to follow around anyone from Staten Island. The NYC's garbage dump (technically true), the forgotten borough, and a host of other nicknames were given to Staten Island. And what probably hurt Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso the most, was the fact that it was all based in truth. Staten Island is actually home to the city dump, and a smell can often hit drivers as they pass certain exits on the Staten Island Expressway.

All in all, Staten Island often got the short end of the NYC stick - living for years as the "red-heated stepchild" of one of the richest cities in the world. However, a lot has begun to change, and Staten Island, once the forgotten borough - is seeing a ton of new expansion, and the state has begun to pour tons of money into reclaiming the borough as a strong part of New York. Frank Camuso and his neighbors couldn't be happier. "It's really nice to see things coming to Staten Island. Every weekend there's something fun, and family-oriented to do now. It wasn't always like that...growing up my parents took me to Brooklyn or even New Jersey to have fun. Now, my neighbors are always telling me about a new fair or new art exhibit, or new city project happening downtown. I love it - and the fact that Amazon chose SI to build this giant warehouse means something. SI is up and coming, and hopefully, it means more money and more jobs for the next generation." Frank Camuso was quoted as saying.

Amazon has spent over $100 million on the 855,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Bloomfield, at the Global Matrix Logistics Park. And like Frank Camuso had hoped, the Amazon fulfillment center will be bringing with it an estimated 2,250 new jobs to the area - exactly what many on Staten Island needed. And the Amazon fulfillment center isn't just another dead-end factory job. It truly can be a stepping stone into learning a business that's poised to take over soon. Warehouse workers will earn accreditations and will be certified to use certain machinery - allowing them to use these skills in other factory settings if they choose to leave or once their opportunity with Amazon is over.

The fulfillment center will also be a place where Amazon will be testing their newest revolutionary robotic machinery. Much of the work will be done by specially programmed robots - in almost every step of the process, picking, packing, and shipping od the packages. The robots are the most interest aspect of the warehouse, as they can lift over 1000 pounds easily and pack and unpack certain products. While most of the employees will be working in the warehouse capacity for packing and unpacking and fulfilling customer orders - Amazon also will be hiring an entire HR department, accounting, financing, and management roles as well. With Amazon slowly inserting itself into every aspect of our lives from our products, to our TV's, music, and at-home AI like Alexa - it's nice to see them help local economies out at the same time.

Disney's Mickey Mouse Exhibit Coming to NYC

New York City residents are some of the biggest consumers of art in the entire world. While there are of course museums and art installations in countless cities around the world, NYC natives like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine have always had a special place in their heart for the arts and culture. The month of November, November 8th to be exact marks the 90th birthday of one of the most beloved, and by far the most iconic, Disney characters ever, Mickey Mouse. And to celebrate Disney has partnered up with the city of New York, to bring an amazing new exhibition to the Chelsea neighborhood, called "Mickey: The True Original Exhibition". For longtime New Yorkers, and Disney fans, Frank Camuso and his family, the exhibit will be an exciting event in which they will be able to get an immersive, interactive look into one of the most influential characters in the history of entertainment, Mickey Mouse.

Mickey's influence is vast, from countless movies, and cartoon spin-offs, to clothing, action figures, and merchandise from all over the world. The historic exhibition will take place in a 16,000 square foot space, showing off amazing works in multiple different mediums, all inspired by Mickey Mouse himself. Sculptor and painter, Shinique Smith, was asked to create a sculpture to honor Mickey, made of plush toys and "all the things that you want to hug." And another artist Amanda Ross-Ho will be using old Mickey t-shirts to create an art installation of her own - she is famous for her use of found objects, and even trash in her many art installations.

One of the biggest highlights of the experience will be a black-light, walkthrough called the Cosmic Cavern. Created by artist Kenny Scharf, the exhibit was inspired by a Mickey Mouse watch sold by the Ingersoll-Waterbury Company in 1933. One of the first pieces of merchandise that carried the iconic image of Mickey Mouse on it. In the 2 years that followed, Mickey Mouse appeared on over 2.5 million different similar pieces. The character Mickey Mouse means a lot to a lot of people. Parents like Frank Camuso are happy to be able to share an iconic piece of their childhood with their children and the next generation of fans. Kids today might have other characters, cartoons, toys, and figures they look up to more, however, Mickey Mouse will always hold a special place in the consciousness for Americans and even people around the world. Adults like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, who grew up with all the Disney characters are sure to be in attendance, and much of the NYC art fans are anxiously awaiting the exhibit. One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibit is sure to be the entire history of Mickey Mouse and the highlighting of different chapters in Mickey's 90-year history.

Over the years the Mickey Mouse character has been used in everything from government-sponsored, war campaigns and voting initiatives, to potty-training videos, and anti-bullying advertisements. While most fans like Frank Camuso weren't around for the inception of Mickey, who was first created by Walt Disney in 1928, however, his first film appearance will be played for the people during the exhibit. Mickey first appeared in the Disney animated short film, "Plane Crazy". The exhibit will remain on display from November 8th until February 10th 2019 - on 10th Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

5 Things to Do This Labor Day Weekend in NYC

Labor Day Weekend is a special time for Americans, and especially New Yorkers. While Memorial Day and Memorial Day Weekend, marks the beginning of the summer, for New Yorkers like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, Labor Day is celebrated marking an end to another summer in NYC. While it might be the last weekend to enjoy your summer, there is still always plenty of fun to be had. Staten Island native, Frank Camuso remembers years of endless Labor Day weekend enjoyment. From trips to the beach, barbeques with friends and family, to an outdoor show or a trip to a ballgame, Frank Camuso is planning to enjoy whatever summer is left, before the kids go back to school. So if you are in NYC to enjoy the culmination of one of the warmest and most humid summers to date - here are 5 of our favorite ways to say goodbye to the summer of 2018.
A Picnic in the Park
One of the best summer or spring activities in NYC has always been a picnic in the park. Whether you bring your significant other and make it a romantic afternoon, a group of friends to throw around the Frisbee, or choose to get some quality alone time with your favorite book - NYC has a number of amazing free parks to choose from.

o Central Park - The biggest park in NYC, includes an area known as the Ramble - 38 acres of pure wilderness within the heart of the busiest city on the world. Full of trails, hiking areas, rocks, and streams. Take a boat ride or get some shade under a tree.

o Brooklyn Bridge Park - A favorite of Frank Camuso and his family, Brooklyn Bridge Park has beautiful East River views and serene woodlands. Even includes ball fields, a 1920's merry-go-round, skating rink and more. Offers a ferry to Governors Island nearby.

o Bryant Park - Tons of free entertainment, right behind the NY Public Library. Perfect spot for a picnic and an outdoor movie.

o Flushing Meadow Park - Located in Queens, home to the former World's Fair and the iconic Unisphere - the giant steel globe made famous from that scene in Men In Black.
Take a Day Trip
NYC is close to a number of different day trip choices. Fire Island, Cape May, NJ; and the culture of Beacon, NY are all within a few hours of the city. Atlantic City, Montauk, are also popular nearby destinations.
Electric Zoo
E-Zoo is one of the biggest festivals in the country, held annually on Randall's Island, it has become a Labor Day weekend mainstay. The 3 day event begins Friday and ends Sunday. Dance your heart out all weekend and use Labor Day to recover, sounds perfect. Might not be the family destination Frank Camuso and his wife Christine have in mind, but definitely a great spot for electronic music fans.
The US Open
Whether you're a fan of tennis or not, the US Open definitely a must at least once in life for any New Yorker. Takes place at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, it's a fun experience of children and adults.
Labor Day/West-Indian Day Parade
Experience some of NYC's most vibrant cultures on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Men and women dress up in colorful costumes, decked out with feathers, and stones, celebrating their Caribbean heritage. Party all the way down Eastern Parkway and try some island delicacies on your way.

Fireworks Hit the Peak of Popularity this Independence Day

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As the 4th of July came and went, it was a day for fun, family, friends, barbecues, parades, and more so than any other time of the year, fireworks! For the country the tradition of celebrating our independence with fireworks dates back all the way to the Declaration of Independence. As the day after adopting the declaration, then President John Adams, declared that Independence Day should be celebrated with parades, games, sports, guns, bonfires, and extra bright fireworks in the sky!

For New York natives like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, fireworks hold a fond memory for them, dating back to their childhoods growing up on Staten Island. In his youth, Frank Camuso can remember his father, and family friends gathering children at the family barbecue at the end of the night on July 4th to let off some fireworks and illuminate the sky! The truth of the matter is that despite being illegal for some time, for years many New Yorkers like Frank Camuso can remember having local police officers, and authorities on their side for the festivities! And despite their continued ban in NYC and the state of New York itself pretty much, firework use within the state is growing every year.

In the past decade things seemed to have cooled down, with officials really seeming to crack down on firework use, however in the last few years years more and more adults are taking part and authorities have seemed to loosened up on the crackdown. This 4th of July American adults as a whole, shot off approximately over a pound of fireworks for each and every adult in the country, counting citizens and non-citizens alike! This figure has reached a steady increase over the past decade as well, while the early 2000's saw only about one half pound of fireworks for every fully grown adult in the US. And even more indicative of the growth in 1976, only about 1/6th of a pound of fireworks was used for each adult in the country.

For individuals like Frank Camuso remembering the good old days may not always mean reliving them. "As much as I might have enjoyed the fireworks as a kid, it doesn't mean I wanna make it an every year thing for my own kids - fireworks are dangerous, for each pretty sparkler you see there could be someone burning their hands or worse, blowing off a pinky!" Frank Camuso was quoted as saying.

One big reason for the boom in fireworks is definitely the drop in pricing. In 1996 the cost to import one pound of fireworks was $1.37 while in 2017 the price has dropped to only $1.13. As much fun as they may be to look at during the independence day festivities, for many NYC parents like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, they may be happier to leave the performances to Macys and avoid shooting off roman candles on the residencial block.

Frank Camuso — CUNY’s Citizenship Now Changing NYC’s Landscape

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Frank Camuso - Despite being a native New Yorker, and thus a citizen, Staten Islander Frank Camuso is a huge fan of the City University of New York (CUNY)'s newest initiative, known as Citizenship Now. CUNY Citizenship Now is a revolutionary new plan of action put in place by families of recently inducted citizens, judges &amp; lawyers, as well as CUNY officials. The plan provides those illegal students attending college within the CUNY system a FREE access to legal services in order to help themselves and their families become
registered citizens of the US.

While natives like Frank Camuso have always been citizens it doesn't prevent them from realizing the hardships felt by those considered "illegals". In an interview Frank Camuso was quotes as saying, "regardless what you do, how good of a person you are, and valuable you are to the community - as
long as you're not a citizen you'll always have that working against you, which I think is one of the most unfair parts of our country." Within the CUNY system, NYC's own city university system, there are a number of different school in each borough and each and every one of those schools probably has
hundreds or thousands of students without citizenships. And while there are a number of perks provided to those who are citizens, despite taking the same classes, living in the same communities, and even being close friends - those without those papers simply are prevented access to so much. The
CUNY Citizenship Now program provides high-quality, lawyers and paralegals to offer one-on-one consultations with each and every eligible participant. They are walked through the entire system and how it works, taken along a step-by-step guide with specific instructions that will help them handle their
own specific issues whenever they might arise. With children of his own, and living in one of the most diverse cities in the world Frank Camuso is proud to see that such an initiative has been created.

All any and everyone wants is the freedom that is country was built upon, the opportunity afforded to each and every one of us. And by helping NYC's best and brightest and their families to acquire the means to achieve that freedom and opportunity is one of the most forward-thinking things the city has
done in years. Such an initiative is aptly timed as well, with a White House regime currently in place, who has made it a point to take a stand against "illegal immigration", and simply immigration as a whole; its great that New Yorkers, like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, have banded together to
show the world that we are a nation built of freedom and ideals of inclusion. In order to participate, students and even non-students are told to visit the CUNY website and learn more about Citizenship Now. Once you apply online, you will schedule a consultation with a legal professional who will assess
your eligibility for legal benefits and help you through the sometimes-arduous application process. The website also has a number of helpful details and is complete with a Naturalization Guide that explains exactly what you will need for your application.

Snug Harbor or Sailors Snug Harbor as it is also known as, is a famous historical part of Staten Island. Snug Harbor is a collection of well-architected, 19th-century buildings within an 83-acre park along the north shore of Staten Island. It was formerly a home for sailors in their old age, but has undergone an amazing renaissance as a historical site, as well as a home for the arts on Staten Island. Staten Island natives like Frank Camuso are happy to see the site being used to celebrate the history of Staten Island, and to allow future generations to have a place to remember the past.

Snug Harbor is not only just a collection of buildings, but is also home to the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, and the Botanical Gardens. Locals like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine are pleased that Staten Island is taking an interest in its own beautification and has sites they may attract people from other boroughs. This can help create a more stable economy in Staten Island. Snug Harbor also includes 26 historic buildings, using different styles of architecture. From Greek Revivalist, Beaux Arts, Italianate, to Victorian style buildings are all represented in Snug Harbor. And it is thought of as a landmark that pays homage to Staten Island's seafaring past.

Due to its eclectic architecture, blending a number of different styles in one well kept 83-acre park, Snug Harbor has done well to attract much of the NYC arts culture. Buildings like the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Arts houses some of the most interesting artistic exhibits in all of NYC, despite this, the arts center is relatively unknown and rarely ever mentioned with museums like MOMA or the Museum of Natural History. Some Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso, appreciate having a center for the arts so close to home, and makes sure to bring his children to the newest exhibitions and to check out the newest events. Other places of interest include the Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, a home for amazing performances such as No More Dances, a play that explores motherhood and a woman's role, especially as an immigrant. Pieces of art and culture have often been avoided by Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso, but the current internet generation has reinvigorated a love for the arts, and given young people a place to positively enjoy take part in culture.

Pet Rescue All Over NYC

Staten Island has experienced one of the biggest rejuvenations and resurgences of arts and culture of any other borough, in recent times. Besides the arts and culture scene, recent real estate, and industrial booms have seen a number of young professional flock to the borough. While some are resistant to such change, longtime native Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine are excited by all the influx in community activities and positive attractions now available all over the borough. One of the newest initiatives available on Staten Island is the Pet Rescue. For years some Staten Island neighborhoods were ravaged by crime and drugs, and to a lesser extent stray dogs and cats all over the streets.

Community organizers and animal advocacy groups have banded together to provide homes for dozens of homeless pets, who were either abandoned by their owners or were donated by individuals who could no longer care for them. Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso have long since been about family and creating a quality home environment for their children and relatives. With such ideals, Staten Island makes a great place for such initiatives, as it is families who often take the best care of pets. With pet's consistency is most important, and Frank Camuso and his wife Christine strive to keep a consistent, loving home; making them just one of the many families on Staten Island that would make the perfect home for such amazing creatures.

Like any other industry, pet rescue has taken to new forms of marketing their practice. They have begun to use the internet and chosen pets of the week, who have been around for a long time and just need the right family to take a chance on them. This coming weekend there are 18 pets of the week to adopt on Staten Island (not to mention countless others). The Bissel Pet Foundation is presenting the "Empty the Shelters" event on Saturday, May 5th, where patrons can adopt a new pet of their choice, making a homeless pet's dreams come true.

The group has chosen to wave any adoption fees for any pets adopted this weekend, giving families like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, even more incentive to adopt this weekend. Other local rescue groups participating include ACC of NYC, from 10am to 6pm at the Staten Island Care Center and Louie's Legacy, at PetSmart on Forest Avenue from 11am to 3pm. Join Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso as they help these pets find the home they deserve. For those not on Staten Island, another popular event taking place in NYC is Jackson Galaxy's Cat Camp event, at the Penn Plaza Pavillion in Manhattan, both Saturday and Sunday.

Record Heat Wave Hits Staten Islanders Hard

This week New Yorkers are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures, with record highs, and waves of humidity that have many staying indoors to avoid the heat. It seems most of us New Yorkers weren't ready for such record highs, considering the last few weeks have still hovered around the 40s and 50s. And of the city's 8 million citizens none were affected more than those living on Staten Island. Often characterized as "the forgotten borough", Staten Island seems to end up with the short end of the stick more often that not. Natives like Frank Camuso, and his wife Christine, have lived on Staten Island for many years, and have seen it time and time again with municipal issues such as snow removal, garbage collection, and public transportation.

This time however, Staten Islanders like Frank Camuso and his family are suffering from huge, rolling power outages, thanks in large part to the city's ineffective management of the current heat wave. On Staten Island alone, more than 1500 Con Edison customers are currently without electricity and have been since approximately 4 pm Thursday afternoon, Frank Camuso and his family included. While the majority of these outages are concentrated in the Park Hill and Clifton areas, there appear to be large pockets of customers without power in areas like Grymes Hill, St. George, Arrochar, New Dorp and Tottenville as well. Frank Camuso and his family are making the best of things, since this isn't the first time they've been without power, and they are sure it won't be the last.

Con Ed officials have admitted that the heat wave is the culprit, having caused downed power lines, as well created a huge demand for electricity (with air conditioning) hey just were not prepared for. After assessing the situation, Con Ed crews are uncertain as to when the power will be returning and advise Staten Islanders to take certain precautions. Citizens are advised to unplug all appliances for the time being, avoid downed power lines and keep the fridge and freezers closed as food spoilage is common during blackouts. Frank Camuso and his family are hopeful that the blackouts will end soon, and the city pays more attention to issues on Staten Island. In recent years the borough has seen amazing rejuvenation, with growth in a number of industries, a real estate boom, and an injection of fresh culture with a sudden migration of many young professionals and young married couples.

Lucky Bronx Man Plans to Sue NY Gaming Commission Over Privacy Concerns

Most of us have played the lotto in some form or fashion in our lifetimes, whether it be filling our spouse's birth date in a nightly-Win4 or receiving a scratch-off from our semi-friendly coworker. No matter how many of us have played in these cash prize games, few of us are lucky to even win a couple of dollars back. New Yorkers like Frank Camuso who don't necessarily believe in luck, still can't help themselves and purchase a ticket every week. "The funny thing is that I know I'm not going to win a thing....but every time I get a few too many singles back at the grocery store, I buy a scratch off or two and put in my numbers for the week!...its an addiction!" Frank Camuso a business owner from Staten Island.

But that begs the question, what does happen to those select few lucky individuals who may actually end up with a winning ticket? An unemployed father, from the Norwood section of the Bronx, found out just that recently. On April 24th, he purchased a $20 scratch-off at his local liquor store, as he usually would. And to his surprise, he was the winner of a $5 Million Jackpot prize. The process of an NY lottery winner of such magnitude is relatively the same, as the rules on the back stimulate. All winners of over $1 million prizes must be apart of a press conference, in which they will receive a giant "ceremonial" check. This, of course, will reveal the identity of the winner to the entire world, including any greedy family members, and those with malicious intent.

So the Bronx man and his lawyers are planning to argue that in order to protect the man's safety from those with any harmful intentions his identity must be kept secret. He has stated to us that he knows for a fact that many of his family members will aggressively try to cash in on his windfall and will stop at nothing to get a BIG piece for themselves. He would love to help out those family members truly in need, but being a native New Yorker his whole life he knows that after taxes that $5 million will not last him and his son for too long, especially with everyone trying to get their piece. "I mean yea who wouldn't want $5 million dropped on their doorstep, but after taxes, after whatever fees...and the cost of living in this city? Forget it, that's nowhere near enough. The very least they could do is protect the guy, and his safety, there's a lot of people who are starving and would do anything to get their hands on him for even a fraction of that money." Said local New Yorker, Frank Camuso. Frank Camuso has been playing the lottery for most of his adult life, and never really thought about what he'd do if he won. But seeing someone else in those shoes has him thinking that, the worst thing that could happen would be for everyone to be made aware of such a windfall.

The Bronx winner, says he is planning on purchasing a home for his family and to pay for expenses for his 4-year old daughter. And as for the legal case, he and his lawyer are planning to file it in the coming days at Bronx Supreme Court. They are hopeful that the NY gaming commission will see fit to make an exception for them in this case as he is concerned for his safety and for that of his daughters. In recent years, a number of lottery winners have been hurt or worse, killed for their winnings. And we are hopeful that nothing close happens to him, and the lucky mystery man from the Bronx is able to remain a mystery.

In recent memory scientists and weatherman alike have been predicting warmer and warmer temperatures for the US as well as the world. With Global Warming all but proven, the inhabitants of the Earth must be prepared for record temperatures in the coming years. For New Yorkers like Frank Camuso and his wife Christine, their home city for their entire lives is experiencing record highs and a summer forecast that predicts even more record highs in store. Growing up on Staten Island Frank Camuso has fond memories of spending summers at the beach and weekends at the family pool in order to cool off. Or the relief of finding some nice shade under a tree playing a baseball game in the park with friends. Unfortunately for Frank Camuso and other New Yorkers, the biggest heat wave in the past 3 years is coming to NYC and if Junes departing 90+ degree days were any indication, then NYC is in for a lot more than they might be ready for.

This almost triple digit stretch is predicted to be over a week long assault on the community and will be marked by this fourth of July weekend. In parts of NYC and New Jersey the week is supposed to be ending on a day in the low 90's, a gentle reprieve from whats to come. With a calm Friday, Saturday is likely to hover into the mid-90's all day and night. Nothing too bad, nothing New Yorkers aren't already used to, and just when you think thats the peak, here comes Sunday - where the fun really begins. As per most forecast, Sunday is likely to hover close to 100 degrees, surpassing it a number of parts of the city and New Jersey. This would be the perfect day to spend glued to the couch with the AC blasting, and no doubt many New Yorkers will be. But for some New Yorkers, like Frank Camuso and his family, Sunday marks the NYC triathlon. Luckily for Frank Camuso he is playing the role of spectator and not competitor. "Triple digit temperatures are tough to deal with at a barbecue, or taking out the trash....I can't imagine those guys taking part in the triathlon during that kinda heat wave - they've got all my respect..." Frank Camuso was quoted as saying.

By far heatwaves, especially within the crowded confines of NYC, are the worst weather hazards. An average of 134 fatalities per year can be attributed to specifically heat exhaustion over the past 30 years. The second most inclement weather condition is flooding, accounting for 85 fatalities averaged over the last 30 years. The city officials are advising the young and elderly to stay indoors, use air conditioning and stay hydrated.

Cooling centers and NYC pools with all be opened and available to all in need of a cool down. With the extreme heat advisory warning, meaning 100+ degree temperatures, extending from Saturday afternoon until Monday. NYC officials expect it to drop back into the low to mid 90's from Monday on, thankfully the 4th of July will be a slight reprieve with temperatures only in the high 80's to low 90's. For New Yorkers like Frank Camuso we recommend taking every precaution possible, and keeping a close eye on pets, children, and the elderly. With Global Warming on our heels, its puzzling to think what our world will feel like in the next 100 years, or even less.
