KERHONSKSON, NY [CHI] — A Bar Mitzvah Bochur is supposed to display his maturing at the age of 13. “Now you become a man” he is told by guests at his Simcha. His parents buy him a hat and jacket and he falls in with the adults. It is the day the father makes the blessing “Boruch Sheportrani” and the Bochur says a Ma’amar by heart. He is the center of attention with all his friends dancing around him in the joy of his Simcha. Physically
Yesterday though, the Bar Mitzvah Bochur Hatomim Menachem Mendel Mintz made a different display of ability, as he was assisted up onto the stage in his small wheelchair. Mendy suffers from Ostogen Imperfecta (a disease which causes bones to fracture easily) and he is assisted by those around him in order to function.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A school bus driver dropping off children from day camp was involved in an altercation stemming from an escalated road rage incident. The incident took place on Eastern Parkway in the service lane between Kingston and Albany at around 4:00pm where a car that was parked blocking a fire hydrant and obstructing traffic claimed the bus hit his car.
The bus driver stepped off the bus to inspect the ‘damage’ then got back on the bus to turn on his stop signals. The driver of the illegally parked car took that as an attempt of the bus driver to ‘flee’ the scene and a heated argument and scuffling ensued, leaving the driver of the bus with bloody toes.
