continued from page 5 five o’clock in the morning.” He noted that the partygoers come in from elsewhere.“These people are definitely not members of the synagogue, they’re definitely not from this area,” he said, adding that neighbors have attempted to reach out to the rabbi, but have gotten no response. The resident and another who lives on 83rd Street, identifying herself only as Anna, said the parties are predominantly on Saturday nights and patrons often leave broken beer and liquor bottles in the street near St. Helen Church. “They congregate in the parking lot at 3 a.m.,” Anna said. “When you have the windows open, you can hear them.” One of her neighbors said she has seen cars sit idle in the parking lot directly next to St. Helen school before and after parties at the synagogue. The resident of 85th Street said neighbors are especially concerned in the wake of Hurricane Sandy since the problem has only exacerbated the already-existing anxiety of the storm’s aftermath. “I guess we’re all just a little on edge since the stor m,” she said. “There have been reports of burglaries, break-ins and car thefts in the neighborhood. We don’t know who Q we’re dealing with.”
Mayor to veto sick days bill
Jamaica HS ‘History’ class New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission voted on Tuesday to have a public hearing on an application to designate Jamaica High School a city landmark. No date has been set for the hearing, according to a spokeswoman for the commission. JHS, located at 167-01 Gothic Drive, was the largest school building in the United States when it opened in 1925. Targeted for closure by the city for poor
academic performance, the building now hosts a number of specialized schools. Famous graduates include Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola, Olympian Bob Beamon, Pulitzer Prize winners Art Buchwald, Gunther Schuller (also a Grammy winner for jazz) and Alan Dugan, Nobel Prize for Medicine winner Gertrude Elion, former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley and infamous former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell.

The bill mandating that companies in the city with more than 15 employees eventually provide paid sick leave is awaiting a promised mayoral veto — and an expected override of that veto by the City Council. The bill passed last Wednesday 453, more than enough to nullify the veto promised by Mayor Bloomberg, if members stick to their positions. The bill is set to take effect next April 1. At that point it will require companies with 20 or more workers to provide five paid sick days a year. Then on Oct. 1, 2015, the law will be extended to f irms with 15 or more employees. The bill includes a provision, however, that says it will not go into effect if the city’s economy worsens, as measured by the Federal Reserve. Advocates say the law is necessary to promote the health of working people and prevent the spread of germs like the flu. Opponents say it is an undue burden on businesses at a time when the economy remains shaky, and raises the cost of hiring Q people. — Peter C. Mastrosimone
