ASSEMBLYWOMAN MARKEY HAILS VOLUNTEERSFOR SUNNYSIDE GARDENS PARK CLEANUP PROJECT

Earth Day comes but once a year, butin Sunnyside cleaning up and beautifica-tion of the neighborhood is a year-roundeffort. Assemblywoman Marge Markeypraised the volunteers from the Friends ofSunnyside Gardens Park as they contin-ued their cleanup efforts outside the parkon April 10th.

“These neighbors love their commu-nity and their volunteer efforts set an out-standing example of how citizens are pre-pared to come forward in these tight eco-nomic times to pitch in and make theirneighborhood greener and cleaner,” saidAssemblywoman Markey.

“The Barnett Avenue frontage of thepark has been a major dumping ground foryears,” said Ciaran Staunton, the leader of

the organization. “We decided to clean itup and add plantings to help improve thearea as major renovation of the park isnow nearing completion.”

Staunton and his neighbors fromSunnyside Gardens and Phipps Houses areworking with the City Department of Trans-portation, which has jurisdiction over theBarnet Avenue area, and the City Sanita-tion Department, which arrived at the endof their Saturday clean-up session to haulaway several truckloads of debris whichhad been collected by the volunteers.

FOR ADULT EDUCATION AND LEGAL AID SERVICES

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND NEW YORK STATE AFL-CIOENDORSE CONGRESSWOMAN CAROLYN MALONEY FOR RE-ELECTION

United States of AmericaPresident, Barak Obama, stated“New Yorkers are extraordinar-ily lucky to have her fighting forthem in Congress,” endorsingCongresswoman CarolynMaloney for re-election.

“I’m proud to endorse CarolynMaloney for re-election and tohave her working with me for thechange America needs. NewYorkers are extraordinarily luckyto have her fighting for them inCongress— Carolyn has not onlydelivered again and again for NewYorkers, she’s writtengroundbreaking legislation that ismaking a lasting difference in thelives of millions of Americans,”said President Obama.

“Whether it’s expanding ac-cess to health care, protecting con-sumers from credit card abuses,or restructuring our intelligence

system, she’s crafted innovativesolutions to the problems our gov-ernment— and so many familiesface. Carolyn is tenacious, ener-getic, and reform-minded-some-one with good ideas and the know-how to get them done,” continuedthe President.

“I am thrilled to have the sup-port of President Obama,” saidCongresswoman Maloney. “Itwas an honor to work with Presi-dent Obama to achieve the his-toric healthcare reform bill, and Ilook forward to continuing to workwith him in securing healthcarefor 9/11 first responders, and cre-ating thousands of more jobs forNew Yorkers as we move for-ward with construction of a 2ndAvenue Subway and East SideConnector.”

Denis Hughes, President ofthe New York State AFL-CIO,

Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (www.carolynmaloney.com) was first elected to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District in1992. She was the first woman to represent the district - which includes Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Astoria and Long Island City inQueens, and Roosevelt Island - and is the first woman to Chair the Joint Economic Committee. She is a senior member of both the HouseFinancial Services Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. As co-founder of the House 9/11 CommissionCaucus, Carolyn helped author and pass legislation to implement all of the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations for improving intelligencegathering. Carolyn is a champion of domestic and international women’s issues, and has fought tirelessly for full federal assistance to helpNew York City rebuild from 9/11.

along with other New York laborleaders, gathered this week as well,to back Congresswoman CarolynMaloney for re-election. The New

York State AFL-CIO has 2.5 mil-lion members, 52,000 of whichare members in theCongresswoman’s district.

“The New York State AFL-CIO is pleased to announce itsendorsement of CongresswomanCarolyn Maloney for re-election.Her leadership on the 9/11 Healthand Compensation Act has notonly kept the bill alive, but willcertainly lead to final legislationallowing this country to finallyrepay its debt to our September11th heroes. Carolyn also had thecourage of her convictions fromthe very start in supporting thehistoric health care reform legis-lation which will expand cover-age for 32 million Americans,make prescription drugs more af-fordable for seniors, and stop in-surance companies from deny-ing health care due to consum-ers’ pre-existing conditions,” saidDenis Hughes.

“I am delighted to once againhave the support of New York

labor,” said CongresswomanMaloney. “I would like to thankPresident Denis Hughes and themembers of the AFL-CIO boardfor honoring me with their en-dorsement. And to their 2 millionhard working members, I willcontinue to fight to provide goodjobs and affordable, comprehen-sive healthcare.”

In the endorsement the AFL-CIO cited CongresswomanMaloney’s leadership in securinghealth care for first responders,residents and workers in LowerManhattan in the aftermath of 9/11, and the thousands of jobs cre-ated after she was able to get afederal commitment to build a fulllength Second Avenue Subway andthe East Side Connector. Membersof the AFL-CIO were also verysupportive of her efforts to pass therecent health care reform bill.

Congressman JosephCrowley (D-Queens, the Bronx)presented Make the Road with$300,000 in Federal funds to sup-port ongoing adult education pro-gramming and legal aid initia-tives. Make the Road, an organi-zation committed to ensuringeconomic equality for all, willuse the money for English-as-a-second language (ESL) and Gen-eral Education Development

(GED) high school equivalencyclasses, as well as to providelegal aid to low-income individu-als.

“Make the Road’s work toprotect the rights of all and fightfor economic equality is helpingto keep our community strong,”said Congressman JosephCrowley. “The $300,000 I se-cured for Make the Road will beput to good use by helping adults

get a GED, attend ESL classesand obtain important legal aid.”

Make the Road will use the$300,000 in Federal funding toprovide services to low-incomeand working families in NewYork City. Specifically, thesefunds will be used for:

· Adult education program-ming, including GED and En-glish-as-a-second language(ESL) classes; and

· Legal support to ensure therights of tenants, workers, immi-grant laborers and others are re-spected and upheld.

Congressman Crowley se-cured the funds from the Depart-ment of Health and Human Ser-vices through the Fiscal Year2010 federal appropriations pro-cess. This is the second time Con-gressman Crowley has obtainedmoney for Make the Road. In

Fiscal Year 2008, he got $15,000for Make the Road to supporttheir after-school youth program.

WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE GOODINVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES?

Finalists Chosen In Conceptual Design CompetitionFOR NEWARK VISITOR’S CENTER

ASSEMBLYWOMAN MARKEY WELCOMES CHANGE INGARBAGE PLAN THAT TAKES BIG TRUCKS OFF CITY STREETS

Back in first grade or so, youlearned that the U.S. territoryended where Mexico’s orCanada’s began. Geographicallyspeaking, that is still true. Butwhen it comes to investing youcan find investment opportunitiesanywhere in the world.

This fact shouldn’t surpriseyou. After all, we all buy a greatmany products produced outsidethe U.S. - and the companies mak-ing those items might be traded ona foreign stock exchange. But thereare a lot of foreign companies.How can you know which onesoffer the best investment poten-tial? And when you buy shares ofinternational stocks, is there any-thing special you need to know?

Before investing in global eq-uities, you may want to work withan investment professional - some-one with the experience and re-search capabilities necessary toevaluate investment opportunitiesand risks in an unfamiliar envi-ronment. But, whether you workwith someone or not, keep thesepoints in mind:

Special risks - Every invest-ment - no matter where it origi-nates - carries some type of risk.But if you’re evaluating a foreignstock, you have to consider theusual risk factors - strength of

management, competitiveness ofproducts, history of earnings -and then look at some specialrisks, including considerablechanges in market value, lack ofliquidity, political instability,currency fluctuations, economicclimate, foreign taxes and differ-ences in financial reporting stan-dards. (These risks are not meantto be inclusive of all risks associ-ated with international invest-ing. Talk to your financial advi-sor for more information.) Asyou’ll notice, most of these ele-ments share a high degree ofunpredictability, so you can’t“plan” for them in your assess-ment of a foreign stock’s overallrisk. But you should factor inthese uncertainties when mak-ing investment decisions.

Diversification - Some invest-ment principles are universal -and diversification is certainly oneof them. By investing in foreignstocks, you can help diversify aportfolio that may be exclusivelydevoted to U.S. companies. Buteven within your global stocks,you can diversify - by company,industry and country. This lastitem is particularly important; if acountry is going through sometype of turmoil, the effects candrag down the entire economy

and all industries.“Hot” regions - Every so of-

ten, a particular region grabs theattention of market watchers. ThePacific rim, Latin America, West-ern Europe - all have taken theirturns as “hot” regions in which toinvest. However, by the time youget around to investing in theseareas, they may already have be-gun to cool off. And, in any case,a “hot” region does not guaranteea sizzling investment. Evaluatethe special risks, diversificationand fundamentals before jump-ing on the bandwagon of a par-ticular country or region.

Limit foreign holdingsUltimately, you’ll probably

want to limit your foreign hold-ings to no more than 10 percent to15 percent of your overall portfo-lio. The U.S. represents only 30percent of the world’s economy,which means you could benefitfrom international investments.Exposure to these investmentsmay also provide additional di-versification benefits for yourportfolio.This article comes as courtesy ofyour local Edward Jones financialadvisor Vincent Renda, located at47-01 Queens Blvd. Suite 203Sunnyside NY 11104.

A garbage disposal plan thatthreatened to add hundreds ofadditional big trucks every weekto the streets of Maspeth has beenaltered, according to officials ofWaste Management, Inc., whichmade an advance presentationabout the proposal to public offi-cials and community board lead-ers last week.

This change in plans is a wel-come development,” said Assem-blywoman Margaret Markey,

“and I will be listening very care-fully to the responses of mem-bers of the two local communityboards when it is presented tothem over the coming weeks.”

Waste Management’s agree-ment with New York City callsfor the company to receive mu-nicipal waste from six commu-nity districts in Western Queensat its Review Avenue facility,containerize it and ship it to out-of-state landfills by rail. With no

direct rail connection at that loca-tion, Waste Management plannedto use city streets to transport thegarbage to the Maspeth Rail Yard,a mile and a half away, raisingsafety and environmental con-cerns.

At the April 9th presentation,Jim VanWort, the company’s se-nior district manager, said thatWaste Management had amendedits permit application to the StateDepartment of Environmental

Conservation to instead utilize a2000 foot long private roadwayalong the Long Island Rail Roadtracks to carry the garbage to anewly activated Blissville RailYard.

“There have been long-stand-ing concerns about what is al-ready excessive truck traffic inand thorough the commercial andresidential streets of Maspeth,”added Assemblywoman Markey.“No one was pleased about a plan

that would add hundreds moreadditional truck trips to our localstreets when the Review Avenuefacility of Waste Managementbegins to operate at full capacityover the coming years. Thischange will eliminate that threat.”

Also at the April 9 briefingwere City CouncilmembersElizabeth Crowley and JamesVanBramer as well as leadersfrom Community Boards Twoand Five.

SCHOOL FOR LANGUAGE AND

COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENTBY DR. ELLENMONIS TIEGEMAN, FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Asperger’s SyndromeAutism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) includes a range of developmental disabilities.

The children at the “higher end” of the autism spectrum continuum may have averageintelligence and language skills. In contrast, these children also present with aninability to socialize, communicate and read social cues such as facial expressions.Children with Asperger’s Syndrome, despite their significant delays in social andemotional development, may have some highly advanced skills and abilities. Thesechildren often acquire an extraordinary amount of detailed information on selectedtopics such as dinosaurs, cars, baseball, etc. The information retained is so exceptionalat times that these children are often described as “little encyclopedias.” These childrencan talk about some topics with a great deal of information, but these topics are oftenfew in number and difficult to integrate into ongoing conversations unless the otherchild or adult happens to be interested in that specific topic.

In dramatic contrast, children with Asperger’s Syndrome cannot socialize withother children easily. They may often stand on the sidelines either playing bythemselves or talking to themselves about their personal topics of interest even whenno one is listening. In social settings, these children may sing, make noises, or act ina socially inappropriate way. In school, these children have very few friends and areusually not invited to after-school parties and events by peers. As these children getolder, they often indicate how lonely they are. They want to make friends but don’tknow how. If your child has a “special friend” in school, think about inviting this childto a birthday party or after-school event.

A QUESTION AND ANSWER COLUMN

Q- Why if my vision is fine and Iam Diabetic do I have to get

A-One of my many challenges as an ophthalmologist is educating my Diabeticpatients as to why it is important to have annual eye exams with a full retinal exam -and that means a dilated exam. You know, the one where you are blurry for 4-6 hoursafter the exam? The people that don’t have good glycemic control (fasting blood sugarand Hemoglobin A1C too high) are more likely to go on to develop retinal problems.The very small blood vessels (capillaries) in the retina start leaking fluid and the samesmall vessels start getting tiny bulges (microaneurysms) in their walls. This earlychange in the eye occurs because Diabetes affects the walls of the blood vessels causingthem to lose their strength and integrity. When all this is beginning, your vision mayindeed be 20/20 - perfect!. This is because there may be leaks in vessels that are not inthe part of the retina that gives us central vision. I just can’t impress on you howimportant it is to closely monitor your eyes. If, when I examine you and there is thebeginning of some changes, I may ask you to be seen every six months. Once there arethese early changes the patient must become even more diligent on keeping theirophthalmology appointments. On future exams, there may be more leaking vessels. Itmay be necessary to do some early focal laser treatment. Early laser intervention hasbeen shown to stablize and SAVE VISION in the future. So next time you think, “myvision is fine, I am a Diabetic, do I really need an eye exam?” The answer I want to hearis “It’s time for my yearly eye exam again.”

CONGRESSMAN CROWLEY HOSTS CENSUS OUTREACH EVENT WITHSPECIAL GUEST U.S. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE GARY LOCKE

BOROUGH PRESIDENT MARSHALL AND COMMUNITYBOARDS RALLY AGAINST PROPOSED BUDGET CUTSTHAT THREATEN FUTURE OF THE BOARDS

Borough Hall, Tuesday, April13th to support the restoration ofproposed funding cuts in thecity’s $64 billion budget thatthreaten their future.

“The staffing at our 14 com-munity boards now is generallyonly one or two fulltime em-ployees with a small amount offunding for support services,”said Marshall, who served on herlocal community board for morethan a dozen years.

Each of the boards is cur-rently facing a reduction infunding of more than $17,000under Mayor MichaelBloomberg’s proposed $63.6billion budget for the fiscal yearbeginning July 1st.

“There is no question thatreducing the board to a fulltimedistrict manger and one part-timeindividual will limit the board’sability to perform their City-Charter-mandated functions,”stated Marshall.

At an all-day public hear-ing held in February, Marshalland members of her BoroughBoard heard numerous boardstestify about the dire effects ofadditional proposed cuts in the

Local leaders encouraged to make a “last call” for New Yorkers to participate in the 2010 Census

Congressman JosephCrowley (D-the Bronx, Queens)hosted a discussion on April 8th,with U.S. Secretary of CommerceGary Locke regarding the 2010Census. Secretary Locke andCongressman Crowley encour-aged community leaders from theBronx and Queens to make astrong push for all New Yorkersto participate in the 2010 Census.The Census is used to count ev-ery person living in the UnitedStates every ten years and is man-dated by the U.S. Constitution.Census data are used to deter-mine the number of congressionalseats each state receives, howstate legislative districts aredrawn and how more than $400

billion in Federal funds are allo-cated each year to local, state,and tribal governments.

“We cannot afford for NewYork to be undercounted in the2010 Census,” said CongressmanCrowley. “Secretary Locke and Istrategized with community lead-ers who will work to get theirfriends, family and neighbors tomail their 2010 Census due backyesterday, April 15th. They arethe trusted voices in their neigh-borhoods and, working together,we can reassure residents thatcompleting the census is bothimportant and safe. I thank Sec-retary Locke for coming toQueens and helping to ensurethat New York is accurately rep-

resented in the 2010 Census.”New York City, although

heavily populated, is an area thatis traditionally undercounted inthe Census, which causes the cityand state to lose out on importantFederal support. In 2000, only57% of New York City house-holds returned their census forms.And as of today, only 49% ofQueens households and 52% ofBronx households have returnedtheir forms.

“We are getting to crunch timefor mail-back responses to the2010 census, and we needeveryone’s help to get folks to fillout their forms and mail themback,” U.S. Commerce Secre-tary Gary Locke said today in

New York. “The success of the2010 Census does not rely onpeople in Washington like metalking about why the Census isimportant – it relies on the peoplewho are on the ground and cancommunicate directly with theirneighbors and friends about whythey should participate. I thankCongressman Crowley for hisleadership and for bringing to-gether the community leaders inthe Bronx and Queens who canhelp spread the word about theimportance of the census.”

Census forms need to becompleted and returned to theCensus Bureau by April 15th.The questionnaire is incrediblyeasy and safe as well. It has

only ten questions, does not askabout citizenship or legal sta-tus, and answers cannot be usedagainst respondents by any gov-ernment agency or court.

The Census Bureau’swebsite, 2010.census.gov, pro-vides important informationabout the 2010 Census. It alsofeatures a tool to see how localcommunities are progressing atreturning their forms.

Attending the meeting wererepresentatives from a varietyof local groups, including Makethe Road, Maspeth Town Hall,Food Bank for NYC, Safe Hori-zon, Dominico-American So-ciety, Elmcor, and Woodsideon the Move.

Mayor’s Preliminary Budget.Community Board 7, the larg-est of the city’s 59 boards with259,000 residents within itsborders, testified that reducedfunding would result in re-duced staffing.

Community board represen-tatives consistently testified thatthe cuts could dramatically ef-fect staffing and supplies. Theboards, which have suffered

from continuing reductions infunding in recent years, areslated for another five percentreduction starting July 1st.

Marshall has consistentlysaid that she will rigorously re-sist any effort to diminish therole of the boards in local gov-ernment. “These boards help usto perfect democracy by bring-ing City Hall to neighborhoodsdirectly affected by proposals

that affect land use, city ser-vices, parks and a multitude ofother issues,” she declared. Ather swearing-in last January,Marshall vowed to “oppose anyeffort to stifle their (communityboards) voices.

The former “CommunityPlanning Boards” and “LittleCity Halls” were strengthenedmore than three decades agowhen the 1975 City Charter was

adopted, giving the boards rolesin neighborhood land use, prepa-ration of the capital and expensebudgets and delivery of localcity services. The role of theboards was reaffirmed in theCharter adopted in 1989.

Each community board hasup to 50 members who servestaggered terms of two years.Members serve without com-pensation.

Standing behind BP Marshall is City Councilman Dan Halloran with Leroy Comrie, leader of Queens’ City Council Delegation. Also present is Councilman Eric Ulrich.

CORRECTION VS. CATARACTWhen you have your regular eye checkup and the doctor tells you stronger glasses are needed, this

does not mean that you are developing a cataract or that you have any other eye disease. It does indicate,however, that your eyes need further correction to see as clearly as possible. This is a natural consequenceof growing older, because with age, the strength of your focusing muscles tends to decrease. Your eyesneed more help to focus clearly.

If you have a cataract, however, this means that there is a clouding of the lens of your eye. Thiscondition, which can be detected in an eye examination, usually affects older people and comes on slowly.When it causes poor vision, surgery is usually recommended to remove the lens. This loss is compensatedby the implantation of a new lens, cataract glasses or contact lenses so you can see clearly again. If youthink you may be developing a cataract, have your eyes examined as soon as possible.

REAL ESTATE FACTSby RITA LOWRY

IT’S YOUR DECISIONBuying a new car is, for most people, a major purchase. First,

you compare features, design, mileage, and dependability. Youidentify several suitable makes and models, and then compareprice. With all features and benefits being equal, would you choosethe most expensive, or look to the one offering the best value?

You wouldn’t pay more than you have to, and homebuyersare no different. When selling your home, the asking pricedetermines your success. Although you and only you make thepricing decision, it is wise to approach your real estate represen-tative for advice.

The agent knows what buyers have been willing to pay for otherhomes similar to yours. Your price must be competitive againstthose. Buyers often pay full price when they recognize a goodvalue, yet rarely consider an overpriced home.

Really, it is the buyers who set the sale price. No matter whatyou ask, until a buyer is willing to pay your price, no sale will takeplace. How do you determine the right price? Look closely at eachsale that your agent has researched, comparing time on the market,features, financing offered, and then the final sale price.

Your home’s ideal price can be found in the maze of statisticsprovided by your agent. Price your home to sell, and buyers willcompete for it.
