Ghanshyam Bhambhani practiced medicine out of this office on Liberty Avenue.

By Forum Staff Disgraced Ozone Park cardiologist Ghanshyam Bhambhani will pay a total of $2 million to settle civil claims that he paid kickbacks to other physicians for referrals of patients insured

by Medicare, Medicaid, and the Federal Employees’ Health Benefits Program, prosecutors announced Friday.

Under the terms of the settlement, Bhambhani will pay the U.S. $1,370,294.50. In addition, he will pay New York $629,705.50.

According to the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s Office, a joint investigation revealed that, from 2010 through 2017, Bhambhani paid other doctors compensation disguised as rent for patient referrals in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. The investigation also revealed that Bhambhani falsified records to justify cardiac procedures. Bhambhani admitted engaging in this conduct and has agreed to cooperate with the government.

Federal authorities also noted that the agreement resolves a lawsuit originally brought by

In 2018, Bhambhani surrendered his medical license after pleading guilty in Brooklyn federal court to one count of conspiracy to pay healthcare kickbacks.

He was sentenced to 34 months in prison, three years’ supervised release and ordered to pay $217,364.83 in criminal restitution and $1,080,000 in criminal forfeiture.

This year’s altered Veterans BBQ will be at the Howard Beach Motor Club in Hamilton Beach.

By Forum Staff Since taking office back in 2008, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) has held an end-of-the-summer BBQ to honor area veterans and thank them for their service. The senator has indicated that he did not want to surrender this year’s BBQ to the COVID-19 crisis; so therefore, Addabbo recently announced that he has altered the annual event to be a grab-and-go lunch for vets this year.

On Saturday, Sept. 26, veterans are invited to come out to the Howard Beach Motor Club, located at 59 Russell St. in Hamilton Beach, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. to drive by and pick up a free lunch provided by Russo’s on the Bay. Veterans will be asked to take their lunch and leave the Motor Club as an indoor gathering goes against State social-distancing guidelines.

“This year is unlike any other that we have faced in recent memory. As we struggle to Addabbo serves food at a past BBQ.

“Together We Rise” is a signature summer celebration.

By Michael V. Cusenza Hundreds gathered at 86th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard on Friday for some summer drinks, food, fun—and a serious conversation on how to truly bridge the gap and move forward as one World’s Borough—at the Far Rockaway Colts flag football team’s “Together We Rise” community event.

The Colts are funded by the Neighborhood Community Schools Initiative, which works in conjunction with the NYPD and the City Department of Education; the DOE recommends students to work and be mentored by NYPD officers.

According to Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Howard Beach), the NCSI began three years ago in the 23rd Assembly District and has been hugely successful in helping troubled students get on a better path both in school

and in their social lives. Friday’s “Together We Rise” event served as an opportunity for Rockaway’s youth and officers to come together to speak to one another and have a real discussion on how to move forward… together.

Pheffer Amato attended the event and donated food.

“The NCSI program offers a tremendous resource to families and children within my district who are struggling, and I commend the NYPD for their work in strengthening community ties,” the assemblywoman added. “Programs like this are so vital in fostering trust between our youngest members of society and the police and I am proud to support any opportunity to build those bridges, especially at the ‘Together We Rise’ event this past week! I want to thank Detective Blanc, Sergeant Bowen, Lieutenant Moody, and all of the officers from the 101st Precinct who volunteer their time to help these families.”

EDITORIAL A DOE IN THE HEADLIGHTS Amidst the lull of the Covid-19 outbreak, many casualties have emerged which illustrate the fractured society and the chaos of daily life left in the wake of a worldwide pandemic.

In our opinion, the NYC DOE is the hallmark of the multi-faceted devastation now branded into our existence.

Before we discuss students, let’s take a brief look at what parents are facing due to the abandonment of government and the ineptness of Bill de Blasio and Richard Carranza, at the helm on the ship of fools planning out our kids future and education.

Parents are nearly ripping their hair out over making decisions as to what’s best for their children. They desperately want their kids to return to some degree of normalcy, which starts with going to school everyday both to learn and to socialize with their peers. But many cannot shed the anxiety and the guilt of potentially leading their lambs to a slaughter by turning them out into classrooms and school buildings that absolutely cannot be deemed safe. We’re pretty comfortable with Justice being blind but when school administration can’t see a thing, comfort turns to panic.

We have monitored the DOE’s correspondence with administrators, staff and parents since announcing their plans to reopen. If we could add one zero to our bank accounts for ev-

ery ten changes they have introduced we could all afford private instruction under optimal sanitary conditions.

Now, less than two weeks before the scheduled reopening, they are no closer to establishing a sound plan for a return to the classroom then

they were when they started. Let us not forget the amount of time and supplies– which have not been adequately provided–that it would take to implement said plan.

And what about the people who devote their daily lives to making a difference in children and

their education? You know them as teachers.

They are faced with pressure from a union that knows it’s not right to go back to work and is consequentially calling for a strike. This time it’s not for a contract, this time it’s to potentially save their lives.

The DOE’s answer to a teachers strike is to immediately take away their tenure, take two sick days from their bank for every day they strike, and oh, did we mention that they would also lose their health benefits and be forced to acquire coverage from the union’s Cobra plan.

And now the most serious consideration of all: the more than one million school children that comprise the largest school district in the United States, currently at the mercy of morons.

The testing ground as to the effectiveness of remote learning utilized since the initial school closure is a good indicator to illustrate the level of incompetence with which DOE administrators have led the fight thus far. They are now asking us to gamble on the safety of anyone and everyone who steps into school buildings.

We prefer to roll the dice on a green felt table at a casino.

Not until a qualified opinion clarifies safe conditions, and provides a surplus supply of PPE and all other materials and equipment needed to guarantee our kids’ utmost safety, should we even consider reopening schools.

MTA: $10K for Info on Train Vandals

A vandalized 7-Line car at the MTA Corona Maintenance Facility.

By Forum Staff A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to arrest and indictment of a person or persons responsible for a recent wave of window vandalism on subway cars, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced Monday.

According to the agency, since April there have been more than 70 incidents of smashed windows across four subway lines, with the majority of incidents occurring on the 7, and the remainder on the 2, 3 and A lines. The repair and replacement cost for the windows has thus far been more than $300,000. Since Friday evening, 25 windows have been smashed on three 7-Line trains.

“This person has caused over $300,000 in damages, and has caused our customers on the 7 Line—working people in Woodside and Sunnyside and Corona and Jackson Heights and Elmhurst—delays. And there have been scores of incidents,” MTA Chairman and CEO Patrick Foye said. “I want to call upon our criminal justice partners in the City’s district attorney offices to prosecute this person and others who are damaging subway or bus property to the fullest extent of the law.”

According to the MTA, the announcement follows a high-level meeting with MTA and NYPD officials on Monday to discuss strategies to stop the vandalism.

The reward is being paid for by the MTA and tips will be processed by NYPD Crime Stoppers. Anyone with information should

call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).

City Police officials also noted that Crime Stoppers is offering an additional $2,500, for a total reward of up to $12,500.

“It’s important that we have the public’s assistance,” NYPD Transit Bureau Chief Edward Delatorre said. “We know that our history in Transit is that most of our major crimes do get solved with the help of the public. We have a great ridership in Transit.

And there has to have been some witnesses to this vandalism, over the course of the last couple of months. I’m calling on the public to pick up their phones, call Crime Stoppers and give us some help with this case; it’s important to everybody that we close this case soon and stop this vandalism.”

According to the MTA, the windows are made of a specialized ballistic safety glass designed to keep people safe by not shattering. The MTA keeps a stockpile of replacement glass, but that has been exhausted, causing a need for glass vendors to keep up with the wave of vandalism with new production in real-time, and threatening to require service adjustments due to trains being out of service should the vandalism continue. These challenges come at a time when the MTA can ill-afford additional costs due to the fiscal crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Agency officials also indicated that the MTA will pursue civil litigation to reclaim funds spent on window repair in the event that the responsible parties are identified.

Schumer Demands Full Report from USPS Outlining how Election Mail will be Delivered on Time

By Michael V. Cusenza Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday announced that he is pushing the chairman of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors new Election Mail Committee to hand him a report in two weeks that outlines how November election mail will be delivered on time—without question.

Schumer revealed the independent subcommittee of the postal board is headed by a Democrat, Gov. Lee Moak, whom he appointed and that this will help address what Schumer characterized as the ongoing lack of credibility with Postmaster Louis DeJoy. “In the past several days, Postmaster DeJoy has had to walk back some of his efforts to undermine and dismantle the post office ahead of the November election, but today we are here to say: Actions speak louder than words and that those actions will come from sharp oversight,” Schumer said. “There will be no rubber stamp on the postmaster’s talking points, because, quite frankly, he has lost credibility in Congress and with the American people. That is why I am demanding a report be handed The Postal Service recently launched a new election mail website.

“We have to protect the election, the mail itself, and hold this postmaster accountable,” Sen. Schumer said.

to Congress in two weeks that outlines just how election mail will be delivered on time.

We have to protect the election, the mail itself, and hold this postmaster accountable, which is what I told the Chairman of the new Election Mail Committee must be accomplished.”

According to the USPS Board of Governors, the establishment of a bipartisan Election Mail Committee will actively oversee the United States Postal Service’s support of the mail-in voting process. The committee will be chaired by Moak, whom Schumer appointed. Moak will be joined on the committee by Gov. Ron Bloom and Gov. John Barger. Schumer said this just-created postal unit will have the ability to investigate changes, and that this is very important, because it acts as a check

on DeJoy. Schumer also announced he has spoken with Moak on his request for a report and that with the USPS still enveloped in crisis, independent oversight will be key to repairing the damage that has been done. Schumer says Moak will heed his request for the report and deliver it in two weeks.

“I spoke with Governor Moak yesterday on my request for a report—we’ll get one,” Schumer added. “Congress will use that report to ensure that the postal service has every resource it needs to protect and deliver election mail and hold DeJoy and the board accountable. The bottom line here is that with the Postal Service still enveloped in crisis and oversight will be key to repairing the damage DeJoy has already done.”

Schumer noted that DeJoy testified Friday in the Senate; according to that tes-

timony, he said that his “No. 1 priority” is to ensure election mail arrives on time.

Schumer said his statements largely ring hollow and require constant monitoring up until the election. In his testimony, DeJoy also told lawmakers that he would not restore the cuts to mailboxes and sorting equipment that have already been made, concerns Schumer has raised across New York where mail was being slowed, delayed or not delivered at all in some cases. Moreover, DeJoy could not provide lawmakers with a plan for handling the cascade of ballots heading for the USPS, which concerns Schumer and is part of why continuous oversight is required. DeJoy is slated to return Monday to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

In other USPS news, the Postal Service on Friday launched a new election mail

website. USPS officials said that the agency recognizes that many states are choosing to expand mail-in voting options in the upcoming elections and that there will likely be a significant increase in demand among postal customers to participate in those elections by using the mail. In response, the Postal Service has updated its website to serve both voting customers seeking information on how to use the mail to vote and election officials seeking resources to help make their administration of the upcoming elections a success.

For domestic voters, the website provides direct links to federal election resources as well as links to state-specific resources. For overseas and military voters, the new site provides additional information, including links to resources supporting their election participation.

The site also highlights what the Postal Service views as the most critical information for voters who opt to vote through the U.S. mail: that, in requesting or casting a mail-in ballot, they not only must comply with their local jurisdictions’ requirements, but also should start the process early. To allow sufficient time for voters to receive, complete and return ballots via the mail, the Postal Service strongly recommends that voters request ballots at the earliest point allowable, but no later than 15 days prior to the election date. The Postal Service also recommends that voters mail their ballots at least one week prior to their states’ due dates to allow for timely receipt by election officials. Voters should contact their local election officials for further information about deadlines and other requirements.

The site provides information about voting by mail and is available 24/7 by logging on to: usps.com/votinginfo.

Woodhaven Works Together to Help Beautify the Community

By Michael V. Cusenza Proud area residents, civic leaders, elected officials, and weekend Woodhaven warriors rolled up their sleeves Saturday to tackle trash and erase urban “art” along Jamaica Avenue from Woodhaven Boulevard to Forest Parkway in a collective effort to beautify their part of The World’s Borough.

“With budget cuts, it’s nice to see the community take matters into their own hands and keep their streets clean!” City Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) said after acknowledging the efforts of the Woodhaven Business Improvement District and Woodhaven Residents’ Block Association.

“With Sanitation budget cuts, we decided to take matters into our own hands,” Woodhaven BID Executive Director Raquel Olivares added. “We are so humbled by the turnout we had to clean up our community. A little help does go a long way! Thank you to everyone who came!”

Dirty Dozen Years for Sunnyside Rapist

Luna admitted to following the victim when she exited the bus near 54th Street and Skillman Avenue.

By Forum Staff A Long Island City man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for pursuing and raping a woman shortly after she exited a bus in Sunnyside in February 2019, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Thursday.

Matthew Luna, 27, pleaded guilty in January to first-degree rape. He was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison to be followed by 10 years’ post-release supervision. Luna is also required to register as a sex offender, Katz noted.

According to court documents, on Feb. 15, 2019, Luna boarded a City bus where he first spotted the 20-year-old woman. He then followed her when she exited the bus near 54th Street and Skillman Avenue. Moments later,

Luna approached her and asked for directions to a nearby subway station. He continued talking to the woman, telling her she was pretty and asking for a hug. Startled by Luna’s request, the victim backed away from him. Luna then grabbed her arms and said, “Just give me what I want so I don’t have to kill you.”

According to the charges, Luna then struck the woman, shoved her against a parked vehicle, ripped off her clothes from the waist down and sexually assaulted her. He continued the attack by throwing the victim to the ground and raping her.

The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was treated for her injuries. Three days after the attack, as photos and a video were circulating across social media platforms, Luna walked into a borough precinct and surrendered to police.

Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Last month, Hector Quinchi, 37, pleaded guilty to rape in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child. Quinchi was sentenced Tuesday morning to seven years in prison, to be followed by 10 years’ post-release supervision.

He will also be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

He touched her intimately, kissed her and in October 2019, had sexual intercourse with her.

The defendant turned himself in to police soon after learning that the girl had told her parents about the abuse, Katz noted.

Quinchi “was supposed to teach this youngster how to defend herself, but he was the one from whom she needed protection,” Katz added.

“He manipulated a child too young to consent to sex. The Court has sentenced him to prison for his reprehensible actions. My Office will not tolerate adults who abuse their positions of trust to victimize children.”

Mayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carranza tour the Village Academy in Far Rockaway.

By Forum Staff Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza on Thursday announced the City’s Back to School Pledge which outlines the administration’s safety and health commitments to students, parents, and the school community prior to the start of the academic year.

“With our record-low infection rate, New York City is the safest major city in America,” de Blasio said. “Our plan to reopen our schools is the most rigorous in the country, and I want parents to know that we are taking absolutely every precaution to keep their children healthy and safe.”

The pledge: Health and safety always come first: • PPE and cleaning supplies will be supplied to all schools, and DOE will have a 30-day supply on hand at all times—with a hotline for principals to call for immediate resupply for their schools • There will be a full-time nurse in every public school building • Any school building or room found to have inadequate ventilation will not be used by students or staff • Students and staff will practice physical distancing in all school buildings • Students and staff will wear face coverings throughout the school day; if they do not have them, they will be provided for free • Students will remain in pods for as much of the day as possible • We will place hand sanitizer in every classroom • City-run testing sites will prioritize free COVID testing and expedited results for school staff; free testing is also available to all students, families, and New Yorkers citywide • We are encouraging all DOE employees to be tested monthly • NYC Department of Health and Test + Trace Corps will immediately investigate

confirmed cases to prevent spread of the virus • Schools will communicate with all students and families when there are confirmed cases in schools • When necessary, classrooms or school buildings will temporarily close to maintain safety of school communities and prevent spread of the virus • School buildings will close if the percentage of positive COVID-19 tests in New York City is 3 percent or more using a seven-day average—the most aggressive threshold in the nation NYC Public Schools will be cleaned and disinfected, day and night: • All school buildings will be disinfected overnight, every night • High-touch zones will be cleaned multiple times throughout each day • Electrostatic disinfectors will clean surfaces daily with zero physical contact Students will be learning five days a week, no matter what: • Whether in-person or online, students will study in supportive environments with rigorous academic standards • Remote students will interact with their teachers every day • Student schedules—both remote and in-person—will be preset and consistent to allow families to plan • Academic instruction will integrate social-emotional learning and trauma-informed care to support students holistically • Teachers will have time each day to engage one-on-one with students and families “We’re a few weeks away from the first day of school, and PPE deliveries are happening every day, families are getting their schedules, and schools are organizing their classrooms,” Carranza added. “Parents deserve to know our commitment to them, and that means health, safety, and a highquality education, no matter what.”

The Pharmacist’s Corner Presented by Frank Pantina, R.Ph

ADVANCES IN DIABETES LETTING TECHNOLOGY HELP Pharmacists share the same responsibility as doctors who need to keep reading and studying to keep up with medical advances for the good of their patients. On of the most prominent diseases that face a majority of our patients is diabetes.

The monitoring of glucose is a critical component for these patients and as diabetes technology continues to advance, more and more tools are becoming available to patients to help them manage their disease. Glucose monitors, insulin pens or pumps are all available on the market and advances in these devices are helping patients deal with the stresses of keeping diabetes under control.

One such device introduced by Abbott in 2017 was the FreeStyle Libre Glucose Monitoring System, a cutting edge device that uses a sensor placed on the upper arm allowing patients to trace their blood glucose levels throughout the day. Market executives expect that more patch pumps will hit the shelves over the next few years as well.

Another innovative technology is the ability to electronically track patient data. Patients and health professionals can keep diaries and logs for insulin, diet, activity and blood glucose levels through the use of wireless glucose meters which are compatible with their Smartphone’s.

Patients will be able to keep better records through the use of smart insulin pens that track time, date and insulin doses delivered.

The role of pharmacists is expected to increase

with the advent of these new technologies, helping patients navigate their way through a bevy of treatment options that can make their lives much more livable while providing safe, effective and cost conscious options for living with diabetes.

In the future medical experts expect that their industry will advance toward what are known as closed loop systems or artificial pancreas systems whose goal is to copy the activity of a normal, healthy body.

Technologists are working on non invasive ways to monitor glucose and tech giant Apple is at the forefront of advances in the field The Apple Watch now uses an app that can monitor blood glucose. In conjunction with a system created by Dexcom, patients need only look at the Apple watch to monitor their levels around the clock.

The system features a small sensor placed underneath the skin is connected to a transmitter that sends data. It sits on top of the skin and is fastened to the sensor. Data is then transmitted wirelessly to the system receiver–– the Apple Watch.

If you have questions on any of these technologies and would like to find out how one or more of them may fit into your lifestyle, you are welcome to bring your questions to us. Counting on your local pharmacist for management of your diabetes is something you should not be afraid to take advantage of.

Until next week…

Teachers Union Calls for Mandatory COVID-19 Tests for Anyone Entering Schools before They Open

By Forum Staff United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew, joined by medical experts, elected officials, and parent and community representatives, recently announced a sweeping program of safety reviews, testing protocols and other features designed to protect the health of students and staff in reopening school buildings.

The UFT urges all parents to opt for remote learning until the City Department of Education notifies them their children’s schools meet the procedural and testing standards that are part of the union’s School Safety Report—even if it means delays in the opening of some schools.

“While our members want to be back in their classrooms, the safety of our students, their families and our staff comes first,” Mulgrew said. “Working with medical experts, we have created a set of health and safety standards we will apply to every building.

Any school that fails to meet these guidelines should be off-limits to children, parents and teachers until the problems are corrected.”

According to the UFT, more than 100 union investigators will check every school for health and safety measures that include the presence of a school nurse, a six-foot separation between student desks, sufficient masks and other protective equip-

ment, working ventilation systems to reduce the concentration of air-borne virus particles, and an isolation/quarantine room for students who develop symptoms of infection.

Because many students and staff will remain home for fulltime remote learning, UFT officials said the union believes

a maximum of about 750,000 children and adults will need testing before school resumes. NYC has about 1.1 million school children in the system.

The union also urged both teachers and children, when possible, to immediately get a COVID-19 antibody test. According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, the presence of COVID antibodies provides temporary immunity to re-acquiring the virus.

Those who cannot get such a test or test negative for antibodies will need to get a test for the active coronavirus in the 10 days before their school reopens. Those who test positive will attend school remotely, Mulgrew noted.

The pre-entry testing will also establish a baseline for New York City to create a robust program of intermittent, random testing of school communities to detect asymptomatic spread.

Under the current city plan, classrooms will be closed and teachers and students quarantined and transition to remote learning if an individual case of coronavirus in that group is confirmed. If two cases are found from different classrooms, the school will be closed and all its staff and students quarantined and go to remote learning.

“The only way we are going to get through the coronavirus crisis is by working together to keep each other safe. The best safeguards for the health of our children, their families and our staff are strong procedures and protections, enough supplies and equipment, and rigid enforcement of testing and tracing measures,” Mulgrew said. “We will do what we have to do to keep our kids and our families safe.”
