Last night close to 300 residents turned out for the pre-election meet the candidates meeting in Lubavitcher Yeshiva on Crown Street last night. As the event progressed the hall gradually filled, giving hope that the community is giving this election some serious consideration.

Among the usual flare-ups of emotions, and the need to quiet everyone down, meeting moderator Dr. Tuvia Tatik did a commendable job keeping things moving and giving candidates the opportunity to speak.

Miguel Cotto, of Puerto Rico, left punches Yuri Foreman during the third round of a WBA light middleweight title match Saturday, June 5, 2010, at Yankee Stadium in New York. Cotto stopped Israel's Yuri Foreman in the ninth round Saturday night to win the junior middleweight title in the first fight at Yankee Stadium in more than three decades.

Fighting for his father, who died in January, and for his legion of Puerto Rican fans, Miguel Cotto won the first boxing match at the new Yankee Stadium on Saturday.

His victory came in bizarre fashion, after Yuri Foreman slipped in the seventh round and limped through the rest of the bout. Cotto won the fight twice, taking it for good 42 seconds into the ninth round. While Foreman carried on courageously, fighting and limping simultaneously, it was Cotto who left with the World Boxing Association super welterweight title belt.
