MO’ BETTER BLUES: ACCESSQUEENS.ORGby Patricia Dorfman

The #7Train Blues group, acoalition of local residents, hasgrown into an organization witha larger aim than just the amelio-ration of the daily woes of ridersof the MTA line, which runsthrough Sunnyside, and haslaunched AccessQueens.org.The organization’s mission is“We Advocate for better trans-

portation and infrastructure inthe World’s Borough.”

The group realized that theproject amassing contemporane-ous data online from actual ridersrevealed more of a Queens-wideproblem for them to tackle longterm in order to do some good.#7Train Blues is going full tilteven if the #7 train is not. Theover 1200-member group on

Facebook, and the rider data mapnow on AccessQueens.org, aregiving riders a place to blow offsteam, and give each other im-mediate information of use –when the MTA is not or is notable to do so. Riders complainthat that “the bulletins issued bythe MTA are not accurate,” andthat compounds their frustration.

And more attention is paidthat there is that there is a real andgrowing problem. Founder anddirector Melissa Orlando andsteering committee memberBrandon Mosley were guests ofJose Martinez on his “In Transit”program on NY1. The programcovered the infrastructure prob-lems of Queens’s transit, whichgo beyond the delays caused byinstallation of the new signal sys-tems. The two pointed out thatthe population growth of Queensis going to make a deterioratingtrain service much worse, andthe proposed Sunnyside Yardsdevelopment would be devastat-ing to already strained transit.But all is not doom and gloom.

PRE-K FOR ALL65,504 children registered for opening day of pre-K –

more students than in the entire school district of Boston

On September 9th, Mayor Billde Blasio and Schools ChancellorCarmen Fariña joined students,families, and educators to celebratethe culmination of the Pre-K forAll expansion, starting off the dayat PS 59 in Staten Island. This year,the City is providing a free, full-day, high-quality pre-K seat forevery child that applied. In total,65,504 children are now registeredto attend free, full-day, high-qual-ity pre-K – a number more thantriple the 20,000 children who at-tended before the Pre-K for Allexpansion and larger than the en-tire school population of major cit-ies like Boston.

A large and growing body ofresearch has decisively demon-strated that children enrolled inhigh-quality, full-day pre-K arebetter prepared to learn and besuccessful in later grades. NewYork City parents with childrenenrolled save an average of $10,000in childcare costs and are betterable to work and support a family.

“Today represents the fulfill-ment of a promise we made to thepeople of this city: that every child,regardless of their family’s meansor the zip code they call home, willhave access to a life-changing earlyeducation. Because of Pre-K forAll, tens of thousands of childrenwill do better in school, be morelikely to graduate high school, andbe better prepared for college andbeyond,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio.“And we are taking that same com-mitment to raising achievement atmore than 100 CommunitySchools, to greater parental en-gagement, and to provide moreprofessional development for oureducators. Let’s take this energyand momentum and make this aphenomenal school year for all 1.1million students in our city.”

“It’s my 50th first-day-of-school, and I’m more excited thanever to see our students and fami-lies back in our school buildingsand our teachers back in the frontof the classroom, working tirelesslyto make a difference,” said SchoolsChancellor Carmen Fariña.“School doesn’t start and stop withthe school year – educators across

this City have been working hardthis summer to plan and improvetheir instruction, and students haveparticipated in jobs, camps, andsummer school as part of theirongoing education – but it’s stillso special to be back. I wish every-one a wonderful year of learning –let’s get to work!”

As the Mayor and Chancellortoured schools in all five boroughs,they focused on major reforms toraise achievement, of which Pre-K for All is just one component.

Also, this marks the

Opening Day for:

130 new Community Schools,which provide wraparound ser-vices like counseling, free eye-glasses, and additional tutoringto eliminate barriers to learningfor at-risk students. This in-cludes 94 Renewal Schools,which also all have extra aca-demic support for strugglingstudents, including an extrahour of time in class each day.80 minutes each week of profes-sional development to improveteacher quality.40 minutes each week for teachersto meet and call parents, and keepthem involved in their child’s edu-cation. In advance of the first dayof school, organizers knocked onthe doors of more than 35,000 par-ents whose children attend strug-gling schools, encouraging themto get involved.Approximately 40 new Dual Lan-guage programs to educate studentsto become bilingual and bicultural.126 PROSE Schools, which em-ploy innovations like small-grouplearning or flexibility in schedul-ing. The program has nearly doubledin size and is now serving roughly48,500 students at all grade levels.

“I am happy that Mayor DeBlasio is recognizing the great pre-K program at the YMCA in myLong Island City district,” said StateAssembly Education ChairwomanCatherine Nolan. “Expansion ofpre-K is very important and neededin western Queens.”

“We are off to the start of an-other great school year,” said CityCouncil Education CommitteeChairperson Daniel Dromm. “Wehave much to look forward to in-cluding 65,000 new Pre-K for Allstudents coming into the systemwho will benefit from an earlychildhood education. I look for-ward to working closely with theadministration on its RenewalSchools/Community Schools pro-gram. Together we can have a tre-mendous, positive impact on thelives of all New York City public-school students.”

To kick off the school year, theMayor and Chancellor will con-tinue visiting schools on five-bor-ough tours. The Mayor will visitpre-K classrooms at Get Set Kin-dergarten in Brooklyn and the LongIsland City YMCA in Queens be-fore joining principals to tour theJohn F. Kennedy Educational Cam-pus in the Bronx, where all studentsare starting their first day withoutany disruption to instruction. TheMayor will wrap up the day withdismissal at PS 9 in Manhattan.

(continued from front page)Without congressional action, the World

Trade Center Health Program and the Vic-tim Compensation Fund will expire nextyear, leaving over 70,000 9/11 respondersand survivors in all 50 states without thecare and support they need to recover from9/11 related illnesses.

“The heroes of 9/11 who fought theflames and inhaled the dust are being forcedto wage a battle on two fronts: a fight tosurvive the illnesses related to their serviceat Ground Zero, and a fight on Capitol Hillto ensure the health and compensation theyrely on don’t disappear,” said Congress-woman Carolyn B. Maloney. “They’ve en-dured chemotherapy, daily asthma attacks,permanent disabilities, post-traumatic stress,and other terrible illnesses. They live theconsequences of 9/11 daily. It’s not enoughto praise their heroism. It’s time for politi-cians in Washington to honor their sacrificeby permanently extending the Zadroga Act.”

“Fourteen years after the attacks of 9/11,we must remember the sacrifices of firstresponders and survivors and continue tosupport the World Trade Center Health Pro-gram and the Victim Compensation Fund,”said Congressman Jerrold Nadler. “TheJames Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensa-tion Act cannot be allowed to expire. It is notright that the victims and those who riskedtheir own lives to save others on 9/11 may beforgotten if Congress does not act. I urge mycolleagues to take action in order to ensurethat these men and women continue to haveaccess to the health coverage and compensa-tion they so desperately need and deserve.”

“To this day too many of our 9/11 re-sponders and survivors continue to fightserious illnesses, including more than 60types of cancer caused by 9/11 toxins,” said

Congressman Peter King. “This reauthori-zation is critical for these individuals andtheir families. We have come too far and wemust continue to ensure that our 9/11 heroesreceive the care they deserve.”

Nearly 14 years after September 11th,first responders and survivors are battlingserious health conditions resulting from ex-posure to toxins at Ground Zero. More than33,000 9/11 responders, as well as survivorsof the attacks, including area residents, work-ers and children, have an illness or injurycaused by the attacks or their aftermath, andover two-thirds of those have more than oneillness. So far, 4,385 cancers have beenfound among 9/11 responders and survi-vors, according to data from the Centers forDisease Control. Many first responders aredisabled and can no longer work, and sufferfrom a host of chronic diseases: asthma,obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesoph-ageal reflux disease, cancer and many more,caused by exposure to toxins and carcino-gens at Ground Zero.

Responders came from all over the coun-try to aid in the response to the attacks. Andsome area survivors, including area residents,workers and children harmed by the disaster,have since moved and are currently receivingcare in cities and states across the country.Participants enrolled in the World Trade Cen-ter Health Program for treatment currentlyreside in all 50 states and in 429 of the 435Congressional Districts in the country.Dozens of 9/11 First Responders and

The in-flammation in my lungs inter-feres with my breathing and de-stroys the tissues that get oxygento my blood. My lungs are per-manently scarred. I cannot movearound my home without wheez-ing or gasping for breath. I takelarge doses of steroids that add tomy weight.
