Youth Continue TheirContributions To The

Communityby David Rosasco

Each passing week brings the youth in largenumbers together to work and make friends, anobservation made by Ryan Kim, 8th grade student atPS119 “I’m here with more of the people I go toschool with, and I can see the progress, going allacross Woodside.”

The fact that youth in the Woodside communityunderstand the enormous contribution they are mak-ing to restoring confidence in many of our residents,it appears, is built on being able to visualize notnecessarily the what and where, but the who and whythis project is occurring.

March To End Gun ViolenceCongresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12) joined the advocacy group Moms Demand Action for Gun

Sense in America for their third annual Brooklyn Bridge March and Rally to end gun violence. Maloney, alongwith hundreds of people fighting to eliminate gun violence from our country, marched from Cadman PlazaPark in Brooklyn Heights to City Hall. Prior to the march Congresswoman Maloney made remarks to thegathered crowd. Below are her remarks:

“For the third time in three years we’re here, together, in New York to show our support for sensible gunsafety laws. And yet for three years the gun lobby and its allies in Congress have blocked even the most modestof efforts, like keeping more cop-killing bullets off the streets. This year alone, more than 4,000 Americanshave been killed with a gun, including over 950 children and teenagers. These aren’t just statistics; they areour brothers, our sisters, our sons and daughters. Gun deaths now outpace traffic fatalities in our country. Goodthing the gun lobby doesn’t sell cars, because if it did we probably wouldn’t have seat belts.

We have more gun-related deaths than any other developed country. We have four times the death rate ofCanada. It’s time we started cherishing the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Lives, literally, dependon it. Let’s invest in public health research to study gun violence. It’s an epidemic when more children die fromgunshot wounds than cancer. Let’s close the gun show loophole and require universal background checks!

Let’s take action to keep guns out of the hands of stalkers and abusive dating partners! Let’s maketrafficking in guns a federal felony! Let’s be smarter about keeping guns out of the hands of children andprevent unintentional shootings by investing in technology and gun safety! We know who stands in our way:it’s the NRA, it’s the manufacturers who profit from the sale of guns, and it’s the right-wing politicians whoput their interests before public safety. Today we march together and speak with one voice to let them know:we will not back down from this fight. It may take years, it may take decades, but the tens of thousands whosenselessly lost their lives at the barrel of a gun will not be forgotten.”

George Onorato Honored

Senator Michael Gianaris hon-ored his predecessor GeorgeOnorato in Albany, adopting aresolution in his memory that rec-ognized his many accomplish-ments and celebrated the life of theformer New York State Senatorand Astoria icon. Onorato, whorecently passed away after a life-time of serving his country, hiscity and his borough, was remem-bered by Senators throughout the

state as members of his familyobserved from a place of honor inthe Senate chamber.

Family members in attendancewere Senator Onorato’s daughterJanice Onorato, his daughter-in-lawMoreen Fried, his niece ValerieOnorato, and his niece MariaOnorato-Filacamo.

“It is impossible to walk down astreet in Astoria without bearing wit-ness to something George Onorato

did to make our neighborhood a bet-ter place to live,” said Gianaris.“George dedicated his long andhappy life to serving others. Heserved our country, our state and allof western Queens in a way thatmade a positive difference in people’slives. I was proud to call him myfriend, and I am grateful for the op-portunity to celebrate his accom-plishments and his life.”

The resolution adopted by theSenate states that in light of all GeorgeOnorato did for the people of NYand western Queens, it is resolvedthat “this Legislative Body pause inits deliberations to honor the accom-plishments and celebrate the life andextraordinary achievements offormer Senator George Onorato, rec-ognizing the significance of his ex-emplary record of public serviceand dedicating ourselves anew to thecauses and people he served.”

On April 6, a distraught 44-year old woman was persuaded byNYPD officers to choose life in-stead of suicide, which she waspoised to do by jumping intoNewtown Creek from theKosciuszko Bridge, approximately150 feet above the water.

Det. Meghan Kinsella, 15 yearsin the 108 Precinct, and Det. StevenStefanakos, 24 years in the NYPDand 20 years with the EmergencyServices Unit, eventually pulledthe would-be suicide to safety af-ter which she was taken to ElmhurstHospital for psychological care.The two spoke openly about theirown lives with the suicidal womanfor two hours. The woman is re-portedly going through a divorce,and the officers managed to makea real connection with her. Alsoassisting in the rescue were theirpartners, P.O. Richard Neumann,12 years in the NYPD and 11 withthe 108, and Det. Brian Hirsch, 18years on the job, and 11 in Emer-gency Service.

Det. Kinsella worked in Domes-tic Violence most of her career, hadparticipated in another such inci-dent in the past, and said she was“euphoric” at being able to help thewoman have another chance at be-ing a mother to her two children.Kinsella is a mother herself.

The mood was festive at the108 Precinct Community CouncilMeeting April 28 where the roomwas filled with police brass, andwell wishers on and off the force,there to honor the work of therescuers. Assistant Chief Pizzuti

and Det. Kinsella are both with theDragonboat Rowing Team, andtheir members as well as AuxiliaryNYPD officers all attended.

The four officers, three in at-tendance, were named by 108 Com-manding Officer John Travaglia as“Cops of the Month,” awards spon-sored by the Times Newsweekly.Councilman Jimmy Van Bramerattended the Council meeting, hon-ored each one, and spoke of theirheroism. AssemblywomanCatherine Nolan also honored theofficers, with awards handed outby Council President and NolanAide Diane Ballek.

Also giving complimentaryremarks were Assistant ChiefPizzuti, Commanding Officer ofPatrol Borough Queens North, andDeputy Chief Vincent Giordano,Commanding Officer of Emer-gency Service Unit. Kinsella hadto be persuaded by Capt. Travagliato speak a moment to those inattendance at the 108 public meet-ing which amused attendees.

It is clea,r that in addition to themedia interest, social networkingmentions, and many awards, thatthe officers who did such a good jobare just beginning their having toallow themselves to be in the spot-light – an incident which ended withthe possibility of better solution forone New Yorker in crisis, a Polishimmigrant, is one pleasing to theNYPD and the public. To be able tostop the self-violence of a fellowhuman being with patience, wis-dom, courage, engagement, sharedvulnerability, skill, and strength hasa name: professionalism.



On two beautiful back-to-backweekends in April, the SunnysideDrum Corps lead the parades forboth the Kings Bay Youth Organi-zation Little League (KBYO) inSheepshead Bay, Brookyn (on April12th) and the ICYP Immaculate Con-ception Youth Program (ICYP)Little League in Astoria, Queens(on April 18th). Dozens of young-sters, their coaches, family andfriends marched past the Drum CorpsReview Line in each parade to theirrespective fields where opening cer-emonies were held officially start-ing their seasons. It was great to seeall the enthusiastic players in uni-forms of all colors gleefully walk-ing past as the Drum Corps thun-dered their “New Beat” (which ac-tually is many years old at this pointbut the name has since stuck) en-couraging the participants to give ittheir all once the games commenced.The locals of each community alsocame out to cheer as the paradeswound past some of the businessdistricts where patrons, store own-ers and passers-by gave accolades

Pitchers and Catchers Report, Please!

According to its website,#SaveNYC “is a grassroots, crowd-sourced, DIY movement to protectand preserve the diversity anduniqueness of the urban fabric inNew York City.” The organizationseeks to raise awareness on theirwebsite by encouraging people togather testimonials through photosand videos from people who loveNYC and want to protect the smallbusinesses which are the backboneof the community. They have aFacebook group, Instagram and tweetwith the hashtag #SaveNYC.

At the Chamber of CommerceElections Luncheon on April 22nd,Chamber Director and SunnysideArtists founder Patricia Dorfmanannounced that the Chamber waslooking into supporting #SAVENYCand its bill seeking to give 12-monthnotices to small businesses to relo-cate which have a 15% hike in rent.Dentist Dr. Kubikian, the SunnysideCentre Cinema, and more neighbor-hood small businesses have closeddown recently, in part, due to risingrent and planned demolitions. “Weneed this so much here before we areall thrown out or paved over, barelyan exaggeration,” said Dorfman. “Ifa mom & pop rent, things are stackedin favor of commercial owners.”

Gary O’Neill from AubergineCafe, stated, “There’s no more im-portant story to than saving smallbusiness. Small business is whatsaves the neighborhood”

There are more than 2 millionsmall businesses in New York –7.2% of the national total. But theproblems of rising rents,suburbanization, rampant develop-ment, and a flood of chain busi-nesses are harming the cultural fab-ric of the city. “I think small busi-ness is struggling in New York City.It’s a fantastic market, it’s a veryappealing market, there’s lots ofopportunity, at the same time it’s avery difficult place to build a smallbusiness,” said Mayor Bill de Blasioin an article with the Times.

San Francisco, New Jersey, Lon-don and Barcelona all have proce-dures in place to protect small busi-nesses. New Jersey is taking awaythe million dollar tax breaks andgiving them to the small businesses.In Barcelona and San Francisco, rentcontrol is being given to businessesthat qualify for CulturalLandmarking and local communi-ties can nominate the businesses they

Trying To Survive(continued from front page) want to protect.

Also in San Francisco the citycontrols “formula retail,” which al-lows some retail business but regu-lates their vicinity to small busi-nesses and does not allow enoughof the big chain stores to urbanize alandscape to so much as to takeaway what makes each communityin NYC unique.

In London to keep small busi-nesses in use and rent downs, taxreliefs were taken from businesseswhich keep properties and build-ings empty for over 6 months, asthis keeps out small businesses. InNYC, landlords could be fined wholeaving commercial spaces vacantwhile they are waiting seeking somebig business chain store, which arethe only types of businesses whichcan afford the sky-rocket placesaround here.

To sign the petition for SBJSA,go to www.savenyc.nyc. Call, writeand tweet your local council mem-bers about this issue and any othersthat are important to you. Theseofficials are here to represent YOUand what you want to see happen inyour community. Local councilmembers and how to reach them arealso located on SMJSA website.#SaveNYC founder Jeremiah Mossstates, “You have a real opportunitynow to do what’s right for your Cityand our local community. On behalfof NYC’s single largest employer,revenue generator, and backbone ofour neighborhoods, we ask that yousupport the Small Business JobsSurvival Act. By doing so you willsave our jobs, save our small busi-nesses, and save our economy.”

And why should you join yourlocal Chamber of Commerce if youown a small business or arebusinessperson in this community?In order to keep this neighborhoodthe “small town in the big city” it iscritical to promote your own busi-ness, the other businesses in the area,and the general health of the com-munity. “All the shops in our townsand cities, the restaurants, cleaners,gyms, hair salons, hardware stores -these didn’t come out of nowhere.Behind every small business, there’sa story worth knowing,” Chairmanof the House Budget Committee PaulRyan publicly stated.

Newly re-elected Chamber Presi-dent Rigoberto Cardoso said, “Wewill formally reach out to Council-man Jimmy Van Bramer, also Ma-jority Leader, for his support to getthis measure passed. It would helpsmall business here immediately.”

Traffic LightDear Editor,Many thanks to Councilman

Jimmy Van Bramer for getting thetraffic light at Skillman Ave and51 Street. Special thanks to ArtieFerguson for getting signatures ofthe firefighters on 51 Street.

Facetiously, the biggest dangerwill be when I drive down SkillmanAve with a green light and firetruck comes down 51 Street. Don’tbe surprised to read the Volpeknocked over the fire truck.

Seriously, community board 2is recommending a plan to have thefire truck control the light whenthey are coming, as is done by Res-cue 4 at Queens Blvd and 65 Street.

Al Volpe,Woodside

The 7 TrainDear Editor,

Remember former MayorMichael Bloomberg’s ceremonialride on the No. 7 train. to the line’sfuture stop at 34th Street and 11thAvenue? This was in December2013 and was clearly just anotherfeel good photo op for a lame duckMayor and other politicians. Somebelieve that it was premature until

either NYC or the MTA found$500 million more to build thepromised intermediate station at10th Avenue & 41st Street. Thisstation was deleted from the origi-nal scope of work in 2007 as a costsaving measure to complete the #7line extension within the availableproject budget. The original bud-get grew from $2.1 billion to $2.4billion. Since that time, the antici-pated December 2014 opening dayhas slipped by several times. Sub-

Don’t be surprised if it willend up as a Christmas/HanukkahDecember 2015 gift of openingday service for riders.
