Glendale factory eyed again as a homeless shelter

PAGE 24

It’s been five years since the city first considered using the vacant factory at 78-16 Cooper Ave. in Glendale as a homeless shelter, a plan that eventually was shelved. Come 2018, the administration has circled back to the location. According to Councilman Bob Holden, the administration is in negotiations with a provider to turn the site into a shelter for up to 200 homeless men.

State revokes Charter merger approval Telecom, which will fight decision, told to not disrupt service for customers

by Ryan Brady Associate Editor

N

ew York State dealt a colossal blow to Charter Communications last Friday, with its Public Service Commission rescinding its approval of the company’s 2016 merger with Time Warner Cable of New York.

In its decision, the commission cited Charter’s “attempts to skirt obligations to rural communities,” “unsafe working conditions in the field” and the company’s failure to meet deadlines for network expansion.

Since the 2016 merger, Charter has provided cable service under the name Spectrum.

The PSC directed Charter — New York State’s biggest cable provider — to give it a plan within 60 days “to ensure an orderly transition to a successor provider(s)” and sell Time Warner Cable.

The commission has also ordered Charter to ensure that the process does not result in any service disruptions.

When the PSC OK’d the merger in 2016, the company had agreed to expand its network to 145,000 additional homes in parts of the state that lack dense populations within four years.

The company missed a June deadline for expansion buildout by more than 40 percent, the commission said. Charter was ordered to pay the state $1 million for missing the deadline.

Also in June, the PSC hit the telecom with a $2 million fine for not meeting a deadline from months earlier.

When it announced its decision to revoke approval of the merger, the commission accused Charter of making false advertising claims that it was on course to meet its network expansion goals.

It has referred the matter to the state Attorney General’s Office.

Charter said it plans to fight the merger approval recision.

“In the weeks leading up to an election, rhetoric often becomes

The state has rescinded its approval of Charter Communications’ merger with Time Warner Cable. Vehicles from Charter, which has operated Spectrum since 2016, like this one on Springfield Boulevard in Jamaica, are commonly seen on city PHOTO BY MICHAEL GANNON streets. politically charged,” Charter spokeswoman Shelley Loo said in an emailed statement. “But the fact is that Spectrum has extended the reach of our advanced broadband network to more than 86,000 New York homes and businesses since our merger agreement with the PSC.” For more than a year, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3 has been on strike against Charter. The union says the company is trying to get rid of its pensions and healthcare plans; the telecom says it’s offering a competitive compensation package.

“They’re bad people, they’re bad actors and the City of New

LIMITS ARE AN ILLUSION!

York should rescind the franchise agreement for all they’re doing,” Local 3 Assistant Business Manager Lance Van Arsdale told the Chronicle.

In a statement, Charter said it is continuing to meet the obligations of the franchise agreement with the city.

Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows), who represents many of the striking workers, also has called on the de Blasio administration to revoke the franchise agreement between the city and the telecom, which expires in 2020.

He is pleased with the news of the merger approval being rescinded. “Charter has cheated its customers and its workers and should not operate in New York State,” Lancman said in a tweet.

The councilman is a member of the Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises, which spoke to Spectrum representatives at a contentious June hearing.

The committee oversees franchise agreements. Its chairman, Councilman Francisco Moya (D-Corona), issued a statement blasting the cable provider after the state’s move.

“Spectrum’s fate ought to be a warning: New York will not be held hostage by a company acting in bad faith,” Moya said.

“When you fill your coffers with tax dollars while short-changing customers and denying your employees a fair contract, you will be held to account.”

Along with Councilman Rafael Espinal (D-Brooklyn), Moya spearheaded the writing of an open letter to Charter that 21 other Council members, including Lancman, signed on to.

The letter says the city “should no longer consider Charter to be a viable provider for new broadband services such as the 5G citywide contract it is currently bidding on.”

In response to the letter, the telecom once again said “rhetoric continued on page 20

Holes patched up in Ozone Park bus lanes Drivers were avoiding a one-block section; DEP investigating cause

by Michael Gannon

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Editor

The city has patched a pair of sinkholes that had been diverting buses out of dedicated bus lanes along a one-block stretch of Cross Bay Boulevard in Ozone Park.

Both holes extend from manhole covers — one in the bus lane at the northwest corner of the intersection with Chicot Road, the other one block south at the northwest corner of Cross Bay and 133rd Avenue.

The northwest corner of Cross Bay Boulevard and Chicot Road last week.

The city’s Department of Environmental Protection investigates and remediates sinkholes. While potholes, the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation, have their origins at the surface, sinkholes originate from below the pavement, often because of leaking, running or upwelling water.

The Chronicle on July 26 visited the site during the morning rush hour and found that the DEP already had investigated both sites, with agency-marked cones at both holes, as well as a DEP sawhorse at the Cross Bay-Chicot aperture.

City bus drivers appeared to be well aware of the condition. Of the dozens of southbound buses observed for more than an hour, all but two or three drivers pulled out of the bus lane into regular traffic well before reaching Chicot Road.

Most drivers did not want to cross into the bus lane even a little, though the holes were nearer to the curb than the travel lane.

A DEP spokesman said in an

email to the Chronicle on Monday the holes would be patched until a cause is diagnosed and permanent repairs can be made.

Raymond Hackinson, a resident of Ozone Park, brought the holes to the Chronicle’s attention. He said he first noticed them two to three moths ago.

“They started out small, then kept growing like mushrooms,” Hackinson told the Chronicle on Tuesday. “I came out of my house this morning and they were filled with asphalt.”

Hackinson said his initial fear was that buses were damaging the pavement, which the city paints red in order to demark bus lanes.

He also thought people entering the lanes to make right turns — permitted under city statutes — might be placing their tires and car suspensions at risk if they were not aware the holes were there.

In Hackinson’s observation, the buses did not cause that much of a traffic problem by swinging out

But the city has patched the PHOTOS BY MICHAEL GANNON holes pending a permanent fix. into regular lanes a block or more to the north.

“I think there were more traffic problems when they put in the bus lanes because drivers couldn’t use

Community mourns loss of Paul Russo Realtor, 33, remembered as a kind man who devoted his life to God

by Anna Sackel Associate Editor

B

eloved son and member of the Richmond Hill and Howard Beach communities Paul Russo passed away on Sunday at the age of 33 after a long battle with cancer.

A devout Roman Catholic, Russo dedicated much of his life to his faith and his family.

Paul’s father, George Russo, who owns the Villa Russo catering hall in Richmond Hill, shared the news of his son’s passing on Facebook.

“My son Paul has gone to be with his Heavenly Father and is now at peace by his side,” said George. “He has finished his work here and will certainly continue from that special place.

“He has truly been an amazing inspiration though his difficult journey touching many of those who have had the opportunity to be around him. I’m truly proud & honored to have been blessed to be chosen as his earthly Dad.” George’s Facebook post received nearly 1,000 comments, offering condolences and, in many cases, expressing how much he was loved and cared for.

“My heart hurts for the loss of this young

“Soon after the deal was signed, we found out Paul had cancer. He never let on about it during the process. Lisa and I offer our condolences to the Russo family.”

Paul often organized his church’s Holy Rosary prayer meetings at his home and took trips to help those less fortunate than himself. He was known in the community as a man of faith who loved his neighbors and loved God. His wake was set to be held at Villa Russo, at 101-12 Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 1 and 2 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A funeral Mass is being held at St. Helen RC Church in Howard Beach on Friday, Aug. 3 at 10:45 a.m.

Paul is survived by his parents, George and Antha, and his siblings George, Arianna, Nicolette and Giovana.

“He was a very loved man and will be missed,” said George Russo. “He gave so Q much love and received it in kind.”

NFIP is extended for An old organization another 4 months is set to be revived

After the announcement that the Department of Homeless Services plans to put a homeless shelter for 113 mentally ill men in Ozone Park, Sam Esposito, longtime resident and community activist, decided to revive an old group.

The Ozone Park Residents’ Block Association was disbanded years ago, but is now making its comeback.

Ozone Park does have its own civic association, but Esposito says this group is not meant to compete with it.

“This group is for news, information, current events, and obituaries of current and past Ozone Park residents, news and information,” said Esposito on the OZPRBA Facebook Page. “We are not in competition with any other group nor do we want to be.”

Until recently the OZPRBA served solely as a social media page to get the word out about the meetings and rallies against the DHS and the proposed homeless shelter.

According to the Facebook page, the first official meeting was supposed to happen sometime this past week, but at press time one had not been held.

“We are having a meeting next week to reform and rewrite the bylaws and constitution

With about 12 hours to spare, the U.S. Senate voted 86-12 Tuesday to extend the National Flood Insurance Program for another four months.

The NFIP was created under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to counteract the lack of availability of private insurance and continued increases in federal disaster assistance due to floods.

The House voted to pass the extension last week. Once the Senate passed it, it was sent to President Trump, who has said previously he would support an ext e n sion , a nd he sig ned it soon thereafter.

This is the seventh time since September 2017 that the program has been extended.

“Millions of Americans woke up this morning not knowing whether congressional inaction would leave the f lood insurance program they rely on hobbled in the height of hurricane season,” Professional Insurance Agents National Vice President of Government Relations Jon Gentile said in a press release before the

Senate vote. “Congress now has four months to work to find a way to provide a long-term reauthorization of the program.

That work should begin today.”

Although the program will stay in place through hurricane season, many people are hoping for a more long-term solution.

Last November the House passed a measure titled the 21st Century Flood Reform Act, which proposes increased premiums for certain homeowners and renews the NFIP for five years.

for the Ozone Park Residents Block association,” said a post in the Facebook group.

“We need people who want to serve on the board. We are going to break Ozone Park up into sections to make deciphering information easier for the residents.”

Now, in Howard Beach, NY, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives.

Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience.

Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as you used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to.

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knees hurt and the pain just won’t go away!

My name is Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, D.C., owner of Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center.

Since we opened seventeen years ago, I’ve seen hundreds of people with knee problems leave the office pain free.

If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees.

Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions?

• Arthritis • Knee pain • Cartilage damage • ‘Bone-on-bone’ • Tendonitis • Bursitis • Crunching and popping sounds Finally, You Have an Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery

Before the FDA would clear the Class IV laser for human use, they wanted to see proof that it worked.

This lead to two landmark studies.

The first study showed that patients who had laser therapy had 53 percent better improvement than those who had a placebo. The second study showed patients who used the laser therapy had less pain and more range of motion days after treatment. If the Class IV Laser can help these patients, it can help you too.

Could This Noninvasive, Natural Treatment Be the Answer to Your Knee Pain?

For 10 days only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for cold laser therapy.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation.” Just call before August 19, 2018 and here’s what you’ll get…

• An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen … really listen … to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A full set of specialized X-rays to determine if arthritis is contributing to your pain (if necessary).

(If you have films please bring them for evaluation).

• A thorough analysis of your exam and X-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• You’ll see everything firsthand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, as it has been for so many other patients.

Until August 19th, you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $37. The normal price for this type of evaluation including X-rays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer.

Sincerely, Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, D.C. P.S. Now you might be wondering…

“Is this safe? Are there any side effects or dangers to this?”

The FDA cleared the first Class IV Laser in 2002.

This was after their study found 76 percent improvement in patients with severe pain. Their only warning – don’t shine it in your eyes.

Of course at our office, the laser is never anywhere near your eyes and we’ll give you a comfortable pair of goggles for safety.

Don’t wait and let your knee problems get worse, disabling you for life. Take me up on my offer and call today (718) 845-2323. For more information go to www.drgucciardo.com and click on the laser therapy tab.

New research in a treatment called Class IV Laser Therapy is having a profound effect on patients suffering with knee pain. Unlike the cutting type of laser seen in movies and used in medical procedures, the Class IV therapeutic laser penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect or damage.

Laser Therapy has been tested for 40 years, had over 2000 papers published on it, and has been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system. This means that there is a good chance cold laser therapy could be your knee pain solution, allowing you to live a more active lifestyle.

Professional athletes like The New York Yankees and team members of the New England Patriots rely upon cold laser therapy to treat their sports-related injuries. These guys use the cold laser for one reason only…

It Promotes Rapid Healing of the Injured Tissues.

P Pot: OK there, not here (yet) EDITORIAL

F

or at least the remainder of August, residents of Queens and the other outer boroughs may be subject to unequal treatment under the law — those who choose to smoke marijuana outdoors, that is.

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, ever eager to legalize minor infractions while looking the other way for years when it comes to Harvey Weinstein’s alleged crimes against women, is no longer prosecuting people for toking up in public.

He wants police only to arrest pot smokers who’ve also committed a violent crime or sell the stuff. This follows Vance’s doing the same for turnstile jumpers in New York County.

Have state lawmakers rewritten the law on public smoking of pot? No, it remains a misdemeanor. But Vance, with Mayor de Blasio’s support, can’t wait for silly things like the legislative process to address such a pressing issue.

The office of Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, however, will continue to prosecute, just as it has been doing with fare-beating cases.

AGE

It will evaluate marijuana arrests and proceed with valid cases, a spokesperson said, noting that the vast majority are eligible for adjournment in contemplation of dismissal anyway. In other words, show up to court, keep your nose clean for a period of time, and the charge goes away.

Queens Councilman Rory Lancman would prefer the Vance method, saying in a Wednesday statement that all DAs should follow his lead.

Then the justice system would be more fair and less pricey, since fewer people would be jailed.

“The police can’t police what prosecutors won’t prosecute,” Lancman said.

The Queens DA’s office and the NYPD alike declined to comment on that assertion. But the cops said a new pot policy will take effect Sept. 1.

Those of a certain age may wonder why they watched “How a Bill Becomes a Law” on “Schoolhouse Rock.” But they also may follow Wayne and Garth’s admonition to “Party on!”

Meanwhile de Blasio’s right: New York is a “tale of two cities” — though not as he meant it.

Tighter tests for older drivers

O

n April 28, Juan Jimenez, 86, ran over 9-year-old Giovanni Ampuero as he crossed Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights, killing him. On June 25, Sheila Kahn-Prager, 88, slammed into Madeline Sershen, 17, as she crossed Utopia Parkway in Whitestone, killing her.

Both victims had the right of way: Giovanni and his mother were in the crosswalk when Jimenez turned into them, and Madeline had a green light when Kahn-Prager blew through the red into her. Both drivers were charged.

But should they have been driving at all? Were they reckless, or at their advanced age, are they simply no longer able to be safe behind the wheel?

These are questions the Department of Motor Vehicles should take a much closer look at than it does now. All anyone of any age needs to do to renew a driver’s license is fill out a form and pass an eye exam every eight years.

More than 200 people rallied at the site of Madeline’s death on Monday calling for more stringent testing of elderly drivers. That would require a bill changing the Vehicle and Traffic Law, a measure Assemblyman Ed Braunstein and state Sen. Tony Avella are planning to introduce. Avella was to have met with AAA this week about the issue and plans to speak with the AARP too.

Exactly what form tighter testing should take is undecided. Maybe starting at age 75, drivers should be required to take the eye test every three years — along with a road test. That sounds reasonable. Something has to be done to help prevent future horrors like the deaths of Giovanni and Madeline.

Koz vs. a high-rise Dear Editor: I am not a big fan of Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz. I feel that she let Rego Park down when she supported these bike lanes coming through here and now, seeing what a mess they made of the businesses and traffic on Queens Boulevard, she is fighting for Forest Hills.

That being said, I have to give her kudos for standing up about that 23-story building that they are proposing to build in Rego Park (“Rego development worries Koslowitz,” July 26, multiple editions).

I hope she stands her ground on this one and doesn’t let the people in the adjacent Saunders Street apartment building or the other people in Rego Park down again. I also hope that she does not let a “school” influence her decision in any way. The impact of that size building will be devastating on the whole community.

medical care. I believe quite strongly that anyone who wears a military uniform and is “honorably discharged” should be able to receive medical treatment regardless of how his or her physical or mental conditions were caused while in service. Those veterans who served their country, oftentimes putting their lives at risk, should be part and parcel of the military’s purview until the day they die.

Mr. Reif should be cognizant of the fact that my particular VA requires a means report (stating family income) before one can be enrolled in the system. I am strongly opposed to this regulation. After expressing my discontent at the VA, I was told that since I was injured while serving and received a 10 percent disability, the means report would be canceled. After filing the necessary papers, I had a service officer loaded with documentation submit my request to be enrolled in the system.

It should be noted that four eye specialists substantiated the fact that I suffered an eye injury while firing a grenade launcher attached to an M-14 rifle. Despite their statements it

took in the neighborhood of two and a half years, including an appeal, to hear that my request was denied. Even an ID badge at the St. Albans VA center was denied me.

At this point I can hope that the new administrator whom the president appointed can go through Congress to review the concept of “Primary Universal Care,” allowing all honorably discharged veterans to get medical treatment regardless of how their physical or mental conditions were caused.

Trump, Carson vs. the poor Dear Editor: Millions of low-income Americans are paying 70 percent or more of their income for shelter, while rents continue to rise and construction of affordable rental apartments lags behind the need. The appointment of Ben Carson as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a man who hasn’t the slightest knowledge or understanding about housing, is consistent with Trump’s appointments of cabinet officials not only unfit for the job, but out to destroy a department.

Trump’s response to the above is to triple the rents of about 712,000 of the poorest tenants receiving federal housing aid and to loosen the cap on rents for 4.5 million households enrolled in federal voucher and public housing programs nationwide. Trump’s goal, with Carson’s support, is to reduce assistance to the poor. When bipartisan congressional members sought to save the HUD budget and rescue an endangered tax credit that accounts for nine out of 10 affordable housing developments in the country, Mr. Carson ignored the attempt and sat silently on the sidelines.

Congratulations are in order for all those Trump supporters who couldn’t care less whether people have a bed to sleep in and a loaf of bread on the kitchen table. Shame, shame, shame.

Go easy on Russian gal Dear Editor: On July 15, 2018, the FBI arrested the Russian citizen Maria Butina, claiming that she had failed to register as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice. It seems to me that her activities in the USA were not illegal. The only problem was the lack of registration.

Probably Ms. Butina did not know about that or maybe the rules are not written very clearly.

Anyway, I think that it would have been much better (and cheaper for taxpayers) to just give her a warning before making an arrest. Or fine and deport Butina — she is not the Russian Mata Hari.

Truman trumps Trump Dear Editor: “No president ever has been as tough on Russia as I have.” Donald Trump, you need to spend less time on your golf courses and more time reading presidential history.

After World War II the Soviet Union began to make threatening moves on Europe. President Harry Truman took three bold steps to challenge their intentions.

1) The Truman Doctrine, enunciated by the president, called for the containment of Soviet

OPEN TO ALL

expansion and pledged the employment of U.S. economic and military resources to aid Greece and Turkey.

2) When the USSR clamped a total blockade on all land traffic between Berlin and West Germany, Truman ordered a 321-day Berlin airlift to supply two million residents of the blockaded areas.

3) Truman called for a western military alliance. This led to the creation of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO has protected our allies from Russian and Soviet threats from 1949 till this day.

It should be noted that our current commander-in-chief considers NATO to be obsolete. Bravo to 97 senators for their “Sense of the Senate” resolution rebuking Trump and extending solid support to NATO. Anthony G. Pilla Forest Hills

Hey, big spender is Nixon Dear Editor: In Assemblyman Hevesi’s endorsement of Cynthia Nixon, he states that Governor Cuomo has burdened New York State with debt (“Hevesi backs Nixon, calls Cuomo a liar,” July 26, multiple editions). Has he read Ms. Nixon’s program? If she were elected and her program were passed, new spending would be massive, and our debt would skyrocket. She would be known as the Queen of Debt.

If Assemblyman Hevesi is serious about debt, he should back a candidate for governor who is not interested in increasing the welfare state, but in limiting state spending in all areas.

12 daily newspapers sold at thousands of neighborhood newsstands and street corner vendors.

Prior to the 1962 newspaper strike, which lasted for 114 days before ending on March. 31, 1963, New York’s newspapers included the New York Post, New York Daily News, New York Journal American, New York World Telegram & Sun, New York Mirror, The New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Long Island Star Journal, Long Island Press and Staten Island Advance. The strike resulted in the closing or consolidation of several newspapers including the New York Journal American, New York World Telegram & Sun, New York Mirror and New York Herald Tribune. Later the Long Island Star Journal, Long Island Press and Suffolk Sun ended publication.

It was an era when a majority of citizens received their news from newspapers, as opposed to television news. These broadcasts would be primarily local news, sports and weather, seldom more than 30 minutes. Technology and budgets were not readily available to send out reporters for remote coverage for national or international stories. But readers could select from morning, midday and late afternoon editions, available at thousands of newsstands.

Today there are fewer newspapers, newsstands and individual street corner news vendors left. Residents can select from The Times, Daily News, Post, Newsday, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Staten Island Advance, along with freebies such as AM New York and Metro New York.

City considers cap on ride hail licenses Bills would impose one-year freeze on new permits; set driver pay scales

by Michael Gannon Editor

The City Council is preparing to vote on a series of bills that would temporarily cap the number of licenses for app-based vehicles, such as Uber and Lyft vehicles, for one year while the city studies the impact of the vehicles on traffic congestion and other matters.

The Council also is expected to address legislation that would require minimum incomes for drivers working with large operations.

Crain’s New York Business reports that the votes could take place as early as Aug. 8.

“I think everyone knows that something needed to be done to address the disruption we’ve seen over the last several years in the taxi and for-hire vehicle industry,” Council Speaker Corey Johnson (D-Manhattan) said in an email to the Chronicle. “It’s a complicated industry with a lot of moving parts that intersect, so we spent a lot of time talking to stakeholders, including drivers. This is the plan that we came up with and in my heart I believe it’s the best path forward. Our goal has always been to protect drivers, bring fairness to the industry, and reduce congestion.”

Tens of thousands of ride hail cars have been added to the streets of New York City since Mayor de Blasio tried and failed to cap their numbers back in 2015.

Ride share companies such as Uber could be facing a one-year moratorium on the issuance of new licenses for its drivers if the City Council approves a bill that authorizes the Taxi & LimouFILE PHOTO sine Commission to conduct a year-long study of the effects of the industry.

The proliferation of the app-based vehicles is being blamed for the plummeting values of taxi medallions. In recent months six taxi drivers have committed suicide due at least in part to their desperate financial situations.

Supporters of the bills include the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, the Independent Drivers Guild, 32BJ Service Employees International Union and, not surprisingly,

Mayor de Blasio.

“Uber has been allowed to operate unfettered for over five years and the result is a crushing race to the bottom and economic despair among a workforce of over 100,000 drivers,” said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the NYTWA, in a statement emailed to the Chronicle.

Ryan Price, executive director of the IDG,

also praised Johnson and Council members Brad Lander (D-Brooklyn) and Steve Lander (D-Brooklyn) for removing items such as a $2,000-per-driver tax and other measures from the original bill.

A spokesman for Lyft, in an email to the Chronicle, had a decidedly different view.

“This would take New Yorkers back to an era of standing on the corner and hoping to get a ride,” the statement said. “Wait times would increase significantly and driver earnings and job opportunities would shrink.

Worst of all, the proposal prioritizes corporate medallion owners above the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers.”

Critics also fear that drivers may decide to focus on Manhattan, leaving residents of the outer boroughs with fewer available cars; and that the Taxi & Limousine Commission, as a result of its study, may decide to push for a permanent cap.

Johnson and two other Council sources pointed out that the legislation does not cap licenses for anyone who wants to enter the fray with a handicappd-accessible vehicle; and that the bill specifically authorizes the TLC to free up licenses for outer borough services should there be a need.

“We aren’t taking away any service that is currently being offered,” Johnson said in continued on page 18

Cuomo welcomes LGA traffic advance ‘Flyover’ from GCP to alleviate tie-ups; governor announces jobs partnership

by Michael Gannon

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Editor

An exit ramp from the Grand Central Parkway usually wouldn’t be enough to bring Gov. Cuomo, U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx) and the head of the Port Authority out to swelter in the sun.

But when the stretch of road in question is a key component to clearing up traff ic congestion inside and around LaGuardia Airport, exceptions can be made.

The new structure, called a flyover, gives eastbound vehicles the ability to exit and cross over the GCP at Exit 7 for faster, easier access to the eastern portion of the airport where Delta Air Line’s gates are located.

It eliminates a circuitous route that doubled back on itself before allowing drivers to turn eastward.

Cuomo, in a statement issued by his office, called the f lyover’s completion a significant step in the ongoing $8 billion revitalization of the airport.

“Now LaGuardia is the epitome of hard and that’s why for many years all you saw, as [PA Executive Director Rick Cotton] said

using those technical, professional ter ms, band-aids and a hodge podge,” Cuomo said in a text of his talk provided by his office. “Why? Because rather than do it right, just patch it, just patch it, just fix it. And you wound up with a spaghetti bowl of roads at LaGuardia, all different terminals. You needed an interpreter to read the signs. It was hellacious.”

Cuomo said the largest reconstruction project at an American airport in the last quarter-century also has been the hardest.

“It’s a very small site, it’s basically a postage stamp,” he said.

“You have to build it while you’re operating it. It was already over max. We’re now seeing record number of flights in the midst of the construction. So everybody said it can’t be done and we said it can be. And it is being done.

This f lyover is going to make a dramatic improvement already on the traffic. This road configuration, as soon as you got off the Grand Central Parkway, made no sense. It was all workarounds from day one. And this is going to make a difference. As we

Cuomo, on hand for the formal opening, also announced a $1.4 million agreement for area job PHOTO COURTESY NYS training and development. promised, you would see a difference, and the difference is going to start today.”

The state also announced that it has formed a $1.4 million partnership with the Council for Airport Opportunity and some area nonprofits to help train and prepare residents to find jobs with airportrelated businesses.

Crowley, in the joint statement, said travelers and the community

both come away with huge benefits.

“This new f lyover will offer travelers a more direct route into LaGuardia, which will alleviate traffic congestion surrounding the airport, a top priority for Queens residents like myself,” he said.

“The CAO’s expansion will create new, high-quality jobs right here in Queens, which will ensure that LaGuardia’s redevelopment continues to elevate families living in

our communities.”

Councilman Francisco Moya (D-Corona),said the noninfrastr uct ure spending will be invaluable.

“Since its inception, LaGuardia Airport has directly affected the well-being of its neighbors in East Elmhurst and Corona,” he said.

“This investment is an acknowledgment that we can all grow Q together.”

MTA to lengthen two train platforms Preliminary work underway at the Forest Hills, Kew Gardens stations

by Christopher Barca Editor

The MTA has announced it plans to extend the passenger platforms at the Forest Hills and Kew Gardens Long Island Rail Road stations by 50 percent to accommodate more train cars and commuters.

The platfor ms will be extended by approximately 200 feet, the agency said, with steel scaffolding supporting fiberglass structures.

“We’re committed to improving conditions for our Queens customers, and this will make boarding and exiting trains less congested, faster, and more pleasant at both stations,” LIRR President Phillip Eng said in a statement. “We’re taking a new, expedited approach, making improvements quickly to current needs with lower cost yet sturdy materials, while we evaluate a longer-term, permanent solution.

“With the high ridership at these stations, we are experiencing train delays as customers must walk from car to car to be able to reach a door at a platform,” he added.

“Because these two stations are at a busy section of the railroad, those delays can cause trains behind to be delayed as well.

Longer platforms should speed up our main line service for all customers traveling between Penn Station and Jamaica.”

The Long Island Rail Road stations in Kew Gardens, above, and Forest Hills will be lengthened by about 200 feet each to accommodate more train cars and commuters, the MTA announced, PHOTO BY CHRISTOPHER BARCA thrilling area lawmakers and leaders.

LIRR trains can be up to 12 cars in length, but normally run half that. At the Kew Gardens and Forest Hills stations, only the front four cars fit in the station.

The longer platforms will allow passengers to exit whichever car they choose.

Assembly man Dan iel Rosenthal

(D-Flushing) called the move “a step in the r ight direction,” while Assembly man Andrew Hevesi (D-Forest Hills) thanked Eng for better serving his constituents.

“Extending the platforms at Forest Hills and Kew Gardens train stations will benefit commuters by enabling more comfortable,

efficient and dependable LIRR service, and reduce delays that affect the system as a whole,” Hevesi said.

In an email sent out to members earlier this month — before the MTA announced the extensions — the Kew Gardens Civic Association expressed its excitement in just one word.

“Hallelujah!”

The MTA said preparation work got underway at the two locations last week and that staffers are in the midst of analyzing the project to “identify a completion date and cost.”

All work will be done in-house, the agency added, and any temporary constructionrelated service changes at either station will be announced closer to the undetermined start of construction.

Forest Hills and Kew Gardens are the 51st and 56th busiest of the LIRR’s 124 stations, respectively.

Average weekday ridership at the former station is 1,967 passengers, while the latter stop sees an average of 1,778 people get on the train on a daily basis.

The MTA said ridership at Forest Hills during the summer months has grown thanks to the resurgence of concerts at the Forest Hills Stadium, located just a few Q blocks away from the station.

A call for term limits at charter hearing Most community board members who spoke say a decade is enough

by Christopher Barca

“How can such a community board be the eyes and ears of the community when they hat’s more important for commu- don’t even speak the language?” he asked.

“There’s a real need for new voices on nity board members to have, institutional knowledge of the city or community boards — more diverse voices — and a greater representation and reflecnew perspectives?

“Having term limits would do a lot to ensure that some of the kingdoms that develop — the regional factions that are grounded in, say, pro-business or pro-car — would be mitigated.”

Even Clive Williams, the chairman of CB 13 and a tepid supporter of term limits, said he’s seen such attitudes on his board.

“I

Term limits for community board members was the hot topic of discussion at last Thursday’s New York City Charter Review Commission public hearing. Most who testified supported them, but CB PHOTO BY CHRISTOPHER BARCA 4’s Lucy Schilero, speaking, was ardently against them. said serving on a community board for life “smacks of hubris and self-interest.”

“We are not the Supreme Court. We are not the pope. Yet we can serve forever,” Stiller said. “I wonder how many local social issues encountered over the last 50 years may have been partially or significantly helped by term limits at the community board level.”

“It shouldn’t be about defending or serving a certain group of people,” added CB 6 member Peter Beadle. “It should be about opening this process to as many people as possible.”

When asked by CRC members how long someone should be allowed to serve on a board, the most common answers were eight to 12 years.

There was, however, some disagreement in a few areas, including whether people already on an advisory council should be subjected to term limits and if those who have been term limited could be allowed to again seek appointment in the future.

Of the six board members who testified against term limits, none were as passionate as CB 4 Public Safety Committee Chairwoman Lucy Schilero.

She pointed out how those who serve do so on a voluntary basis, adding that many spend countless hours away from their families in order to make their communities better places to live for all.

“You cannot put a price on volunteerism and you cannot put a price on the time we give to the people of our community,” the 32-year board member said. “Build the community boards up. Leave the seniors who have great knowledge and put at least another five or six more [people] on the board.”

Where there could be improvement, Schilero added, is in more city-sponsored training for members, especially when it comes to zoning and land use issues.

“Still today, I’m trying to figure out all

the laws with the State Liquor Authority, [Uniform Land Use Review Procedure], Department of Buildings, you name it,” she said. “We get fairly quick training lessons on zoning. We don’t even know what we’re doing when we make our vote.”

CB 10 Chairwoman Betty Braton said term limits already exist in a way, as the borough president and City Council member can choose not to reappoint someone when his or her term ends.

Speaking specifically about the value of institutional knowledge, she said HWQ411B — the sewer and water main installation project in Centreville that was first proposed nearly four decades ago — might never have gotten started if it weren’t for the persistence of well-connected community board members.

“Without the institutional knowledge of my colleagues who have been there from the beginning,” Braton said, “that project would still be sitting out there in limbo waiting to get started.”

A pair of community board district managers were blunt in their assessments of term limits, beginning with CB 11’s Joseph Marziliano, whose group voted against them.

While he acknowledged the panels both need more city assistance and have members who “should be outright dismissed,” instituting limits on how long one can serve would be a detriment.

“On my community board, we would lose 19 members if eight- to 10-year term limits were implemented, leaving us with 26,” Marziliano said. “This would eviscerate our institution.”

“This is my own opinion, but I think it’s very dangerous to have term limits just for the sake of having term limits or having turnover,” CB 5’s Gary Giordano added.

“We have community board members who Q would be very hard to replace.”

What Robert Moses did for Jamaica Bay Event examines the controversial planner’s multifaceted NYC legacy

by Neglah Sharma Chronicle Contributor

Robert Moses’s contentious, yet inescapable legacy continues to ripple across the city’s landscape.

“Before Moses, New York State had almost no parkland, but the state had 2,567,256 acres of parkland, 658 playgrounds in the city, 13 bridges and 416 miles of parkways after his tenure as chief of the state parks system,” said Jamaica Bay Park Ranger Audrey Barton, citing a 1981 New York Times obituary on the master planner.

“He also pursued certain avenues, like convincing the United Nations to bring their headquarters here, as well as two World’s Fairs which happened here,” Barton said.

She was speaking at an event held last Sunday at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Center, a gathering billed as examining “the contoversial legacy” of the man and held on the 37th anniversary of his death.

Moses, who had gained notoriety as one of the more polarizing figures in New York’s history, partly for his contempt for public transportation, creating, for example, the Southern State Parkway, dubbed by CityLab.com as a “racist parkway,” while commandeering the development of Flushing Meadows Corona Park

St. John’s Episcopal to host a BTS wellness fair St. John’s Episcopal hospital will be hosting a community and back-to-school wellness fair this Friday, August 3 from 12-7 p.m.

The event will include free health and blood pressure screenings, health information, pharmacy brown bag review, in which people bring all their medicines so experts can see if there are any problems such as hidden double dosages, and much more.

At 2 p.m. all children present will receive a free backpack. A live DJ, other entertainment, fitness and fire safety demonstrations are also part of this family fun day. The event will be held rain or shine in the BOCES parking lot, located at 327 Beach 19 St., Far Rockaway.

FF charged with DWI A firefighter was charged for allegedly driving drunk in Bayside on Sunday night, according to the NYPD. Daniel McDougall, 28, was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired and refusal to take a breath exam.

Cops said the man drove his car into a parked one at 221st Street and 43rd Avenue. Q

and what became the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge during his seemingly autonomous incumbency.

It was naturally the latter that was the focus of the event held Sunday.

Barton believes that the inception of two nonindigenous freshwater ponds, which act as vital migratory paths for wildlife, was one of the most interesting parts of Moses’ tenure.

“His vision was to create freshwater ponds on each side, and also still have saltwater marshland from the bay, which could potentially attract even more animals while bringing back wildlife that had been using this place prior to this development,” Barton said.

She added that the importance of a salt marsh is that it acts as a “nursery,” where many animals start their lives.

“These are animals that are sometimes traveling thousands and thousands of miles, and his idea was, if we have fresh water, they will stop here to eat and to bathe,” Barton added, while pointing out that this stemmed from the redevelopment of the “crumbling A train.”

Within five years, Barton explained, 208 species of birds were identified within the park, with a total of 365 species there now.

Ride hail caps continued from page 10 his email. “We are pausing the issuing of new licenses in an industry that has been allowed to proliferate without any appropriate check. And if Uber wants to put a new wheelchair accessible vehicle on the road, they can do that. In fact, we encourage them to do that.

This is about careful deliberation — TLC is going to study the issue. And this is about supporting and uplifting drivers — making sure they are paid enough to support their families.”

Sources also said the city could limit time in and access to Manhattan, thus encouraging drivers to head to the outer boroughs; and set up stands or dispatch centers in places like eastern Queens.

But neither they nor Johnson’s office responded to questions as to just how drivers cold be forced out of Manhattan or compelled to work from a stand or dispatch area.

The Chronicle contacted all Queens Council members’ staffs, but had only two responses as of its Wednesday deadline.

A spokesman for Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) said she is a co-sponsor of the cap bill. A spokesman for Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) said he is still examining the bills and seeing input from Q both sides.

Attendees at a presentation on Robert Moses’ legacy gather around a display table giving a bird’s-eye view of Jamaica Bay’s sprawling 9,155 acres. Later, Rangers Audrey Barton and John Tebbetts led them on a tour of the area around the event’s location, the Wildlife Refuge Center in Broad Channel. PHOTOS BY NEGLAH SHARMA “We are second in bird population out of 417 USA parks, we have more birds than Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite Park,” Barton noted.

In the area’s early years, Barton said, wolves, coyotes, black bears and elk were prevalent.

Today, snipers at J FK Air por t are tasked with “managing” birds, including ones that are federally protected endangered species. The reason is the chance of collisions with planes, such as the one that brought down Flight 1549 out of LaGuardia nearly 10 years ago.

Today, Jamaica Bay is being restored, with a new $400 million, multifaceted project announced in July. Things were different in Moses’ time.

“Many of [Moses’] projects were funded by private loans,” Barton said, explaining that his works were “considered necessary to the rebuilding of New York City following the Great Depression.”

As a result of private funding, New York State has the highest land debt, Barton said.

The development of Jamaica Bay utilized approximately 84,000 laborers.

“West Pond Trail, our most used trail, was created several years after opening, and in 1953, you would need a permit to access the facility,” Bar ton said. The work “was meant to create recreational opportunities with people,” which it did.

Most of Moses’ projects and reputation transpired between 1930 and 1960, and wh ile t he over all i mpact of Rober t Moses’ development projects is debatable, it is difficult to envision New York

without his impact.

He mainly restructured Jamaica Bay between the 1930s and 1940s, and Ranger John Tebbetts explained that while he never learned to drive, “In 1938, Moses’ driver took him along Crossbay Boulevard, Fort Tilden and Howard Beach” to scope out future alterations.

“All of this was salt marsh,” Tebbetts said, while pointing at a 1935 map depicting “military grounds, natural resources,” and what later became John F. Kennedy International Air port, originally Idlewild Airport.

According to Tebbetts, it took about 12 years to initiate changes in Jamaica Bay under then-Gov. Al Smith.

Moses, a former whaler, envisioned a wildlife refuge for 12 years before breaking ground in 1950, Tebbetts said.

“Rebuilding the Crossbay Bridge in 1971 was his last official project because the wood bridge was falling apart,” Tebbetts said.

Mos e s wa s or ig i n a l ly f rom New Haven, Conn., and came to New York City as a boy in 1897.

Among the challenges faced by Jamaica Bay — which the new restoration project is meant to help overcome — are marsh erosion, pollution, maritime debris, the threat to endangered species such as the horseshoe crab, and remaining storm Q damage from Hurricane Sandy.

Queens lends a hand after Greek wildfires More than 90 people died, entire neighborhoods were obliterated

by Christopher Barca Editor

Entire towns have been reduced to ash.

More than 90 people have been killed.

The blazes that raged across the scenic, coastal Attica region of southern Greece last week have proved to be one of the nation’s worst disasters in decades — in addition to being the second-deadliest set of wildfires in the world this century.

But many in Queens are stepping up and lending a helping hand to those impacted by the infernos halfway across the globe.

That includes the Astoria volunteers of 9 HUGS — an acronym for help us give and share — a Merrick, LI-based nonprofit that has organized a relief drive to help the victims of the wildfires.

“Everyone is pulling together,” group President Lu Argyris, herself an Astoria native, told the Chronicle on Tuesday.

“We’ve gotten deliveries from Pennsylvania even. Everyone is pitching in.”

Two main fires — one about 10 miles northeast of Athens and one 30 miles west of the historic city — caused the vast majority of the damage, with abnormally hot, dry and windy conditions helping to fuel them.

Of the 92 people who were confirmed to have been killed as of Tuesday, 26 were found dead last Tuesday just feet from the gated entrance to a staircase leading to a beach in the resort town of Mati.

Officials believe the victims — some were found clinging to one another — couldn’t find the gate through the smoke that had killed them a day earlier.

Other residents escaped the flames by jumping into the sea.

Most were picked up by passing government and private boats but a handful of others drowned while waiting to be rescued.

The exact causes of the two main fires are unclear, but Greek officials have speculated that one was caused by a faulty power pole while the other was arson-related.

Argyris’ friends and family members who live in Greece

are all safe, she said, but some live in the impacted area.

The Merrick resident added that once news of the fires made its way to the United States, she knew she and her organization had to do something to help.

“It just hit close to home. We all have a lot of friends from that area,” she said. “We put this drive together just last week and we’re completely overwhelmed.”

The fires were mostly extinguished late last week, but that hasn’t stopped people across Queens from donating everything from flashlights and batteries to diapers and underwear.

In fact, Argyris said, 9 HUGS is no longer accepting physical donations because it has run out of space to put them.

Instead, anyone interested in giving is asked to email them at 9hugsorganization@gmail.com, as the group is making a list of people to contact when it restarts its wildfire relief drive in September.

Late this week, a number of 9 HUGS members, including Argyris, are traveling to Greece to visit an orphanage that was heavily damaged by the flames — half of the items donated will be given to that organization.

The other half, she said, will be distributed to about 10 different families who lost everything in the fires.

According to Argyris, a relief center in the Attica region has been putting together a list of families whose possessions were destroyed — she and her colleagues plan to meet with those individuals while in Greece.

“When we return to the U.S., we’re going to start separating and labeling everything and figure out where everything is going to go,” she said. “It’s easy to throw things at an organization, but we’re going to visit ourselves, get lists of families continued on page 22

PSC rescinds Charter merger

Community thanks veterans Veterans and community members were honored at the 118th Annual Woodhaven Post American Legion Family Homestyle barbecue on July 28.

continued from page 2 often becomes politically charged” when an election is weeks away.

City officials, however, are not up for election this year.

“We are hopeful we can work this out, but believe we are in a strong legal position to defend ourselves against these actions and we will continue to serve our customers in the city and throughout New York state,” company spokesman John Bonomo said.

Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications spokeswoman Kate Blumm told the Chronicle that the agency’s lawyers are still evaluating the legal implications of the commission’s move as related to the franchise agreement.

“Federal law sets the bar for revocation very high,” she explained.

The agency approves of the commission’s decision.

“Any corporation doing business with New York City comes under the strictest scrutiny to make sure they’re delivering on their promises to New Yorkers, which is why we have consistently and vigilantly monitored Charter’s compliance with their City franchise agreement,” Blumm said in an emailed statement. “We’re glad to see the Public Service Commission adopt a similar approach, and take action based on what they have found to be noncompliance with the State’s merger approval.”

The DOITT recently gave Charter a notice

of default letter in response to the National Labor Relations Board recently determining that the company “coercively interrogated” four employees over a 2014 protest they engaged in while on the job.

Additionally, the agency earlier this year released an audit into the company’s use of vendors it claimed were in the city. The franchise agreement requires the usage of vendors based in the city whenever possible. Charter had maintained that if a company merely had a storage unit within the five boroughs, it qualified as a city vendor.

In the audit, the DOITT announced new guidelines for what it believes qualifies as a city vendor. Among the guidelines are the number of people who regularly report for work at the company’s facility in the city, how many of its workers live in the city and where the vendor is registered with the New York Department of State.

Blumm said the DOITT has a new probe into whether Charter is complying with its guidelines for vendor usage. If the agency finds the telecom is not following them, a notice of default would be issued to Charter.

The spokeswoman explained that while a notice of default letter would not have any immediate effect on the company and the franchise agreement, it is significant for a different reason.

“It’s a letter that goes in their file, which is meaningful now because we’re in the franQ chise renewal process,” she said.

Aiding Greek wildfire victims

TWITTER PHOTO /NYPD

Rookie cop saves child NYPD Officer Osvaldo Nunez, second from left, was honored at the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights on Tuesday for saving a 20-month-old girl who had stopped breathing.

According to the NYPD and published repor ts, Rebeca Alarcon, holding her daughter, Leah, was trying to get help for her child when she saw she was near the

precinct and ran to Nunez and Officer Robert Worsthorn, a neighborhood coordination officer in the precinct, left.

Nunez, four weeks out of the Police Academy, immediately began CPR and kept going until Leah regained consciousness.

Big sister Naomi, 6, and Deputy Inspector Carlos Ortiz, the precinct’s commanding officer, far right, also were on hand.

continued from page 20 and donate directly to them.”

A number of other Queens and city entities are planning relief efforts of their own, including the Manhattan-based Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

On July 24, Archbishop Demetrios Trakatellis called on every Greek Orthodox church in the country to both hold a memorial service for wildfire victims last Sunday and donate the money parishoners place in collection plates on Aug. 5 to the archdiocese’s relief fund.

A number of Queens churches made worshipers aware of the archbishop’s request in their weekly bulletins.

The Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, based in Astoria, has started a monetary relief fund of its own.

For more information about the drive, log on to hellenicsocieties.org or call 1 (718) 204-6500.

In a statement issued last Friday, Councilman Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria), who is Greek, encouraged his constituents to donate to relief funds set up by the Hellenic American Leadership Council and the Order of the American Hellenic Education Progressive Association.

“My heart is with the people of Greece, where scores of lives have been lost to the devastating wildfires,” the lawmaker said.

“Parts of Europe are burning amid a historic heatwave, and the wildfire season in

Europe is only getting longer. We must fight the effects of climate change around the globe, before natural disasters become even deadlier.

“Those looking to help the people impacted by the Greece fires, you can do so through the Hellenic American Leadership Council.”

More than $180,000 had been raised by the HALC as of Tuesday evening, with the group saying 100 percent of the money will go to the Hellenic Red Cross and social services organization SOS Children’s Village.

To donate to the f u nd, log onto gofundme.com/greecewildfirerelief.

To give to the AHEPA’s effort, log onto ahepa.org/donate.

Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) is also directing constituents to the HALC’s relief fund, in addition to running a supply drive in her Flushing office, located at 40-13 159 St., Room C. From 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, the lawmaker’s staff will be accepting baby items such as formula, food, bottles and diapers, feminine hygiene products, bandages and gauze.

“I am deeply saddened over the death and destruction caused by the deadly wildfires in Greece,” Meng said in a statement. “My office stands ready to help constituents who may have loved ones affected by these fires Q and I will do all I can to assist them.”

Glendale shelter plan is alive and kicking Holden, Addabbo blast the city and warn of possible community uprising

Five years after the city first explored using the defunct factory at 78-16 Cooper Ave. as a homeless shelter, another plan to house 200 undomiciled men at the Glendale facility is in the works, PHOTOS BY DERRELL BOUKNIGHT according to Councilman Bob Holden. be renovated into an office building.

However, the document was amended at an undetermined time to include the construction of 85 residential units there, and a partial work permit was issued last Friday.

City records show the property is owned by the Cooper Avenue Group. Contacted by the Chronicle last Friday, Daniel Rabinowitz, who is listed as Cooper Avenue Group’s agent, declined to comment.

“I can’t say anything,” Rabinowitz said repeatedly before hanging up.

A phone message left for George Berger, the applicant of record listed on the DOB paperwork, had yet to be returned by press time on Wednesday.

“These guys are not to be trusted,” Holden said. “They’re in the homeless business.

It is disgusting how much big money is going around and how much these guys are profiting.”

In a Wednesday interview, Addabbo blasted Mayor de Blasio’s administration for making what he called a “panic move” in Glendale to address the homeless crisis.

“No, because the city had already rejected this site for whatever reason,” Addabbo said when asked if he ever thought the shelter plan would be revived. “Because the administration couldn’t handle the crisis and panicked, in my opinion, they reconsidered Glendale.

“You also have a property owner who sees dollar signs and here lies the issue.”

When the city first broached the shelter plan in 2012, area residents held rallies and showed up in force to a testy DHS-hosted town hall.

Area civic leaders even banded together in 2014 to form the Glendale/Middle Village Coalition in an effort to raise money and take legal action.

In just a few months, the group raised nearly $100,000 and sued the city on the grounds that an environmental assessment of 78-16 Cooper Ave. — conducted by the prestigious engineering firm AECOM —

was deeply flawed and riddled with obvious inaccuracies.

Addabbo said he wouldn’t be surprised if the community takes similar action this time around.

“I foresee rallies and protests and anger,” he said. “I’ll keep saying it — all of this could have been avoided if we were given an opportunity to work with the city here.”

Going forward, Holden said he’s contacted Cou nci l Sp ea ke r Corey Joh n son (D-Manhattan) about potentially introducing legislation that would mandate City Council members be included in negotiations between the city and an interested shelter provider in some way.

Current protocol only calls for the notification of an elected official when a deal has been finalized.

“It can’t let us just kill a deal, because we would never get a shelter built if that were the case,” he said of such a bill. “But it has to let us at least have something to say.”

“Of course. Transparency in government is always good,” Addabbo added when asked if he agreed with Holden’s idea. “The lack of transparency, the lack of dialogue, is a trademark of this administration.”

In terms of working with the city, Holden was expected to meet with the mayor at some point this week to discuss the Glendale proposal.

On Monday, Holden told the Chronicle that his initial conversation with de Blasio over the weekend was positive, as was one he had with Banks.

The councilman added he will try his best to negotiate an acceptable solution for his constituents. But if diplomacy fails, the city could have a proverbial war on its hands in short order.

“If I feel they’re not reasonable, then we go to plan B, which is protests,” he said.

“It’s not going to be pretty, but we will do that if we have to.

“They have to know Bob Holden is at his Q best in a fight.”

What seniors need to watch for in the eyes

by Anna Sackel Associate Editor

Oftentimes many people take their vision for granted, since glasses are so readily available and eye drops are sold anywhere.

When a person’s vision starts to falter, it can be a scary time, and as you age these problems may arise quicker than expected.

According to Dr. Andrea Zimmerman, a low vision expert at Lighthouse Guild, there are four major diseases that affect people’s eyes as they age: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Cataracts are the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Most cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue that makes up your eye’s lens.

Although there is no definitive way to fully stop cataracts, there are preventative measures you can take. As with many other diseases, having regular eye exams is the best way to help detect cataracts.

If you smoke, quitting will also drastically improve your chances of avoiding cataracts. You are three times more likely to develop cataracts if you smoke.

Glaucoma is when there is an increase in pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve, which transmits images to your brain.

Glaucoma is oftentimes hereditary and does

As you age your risk for eye diseases increases. While some of these issues are hereditary, there are steps you can take to help prevent future issues. not present itself until later in life.

Without treatment, glaucoma can cause permanent and sometime total vision loss.

This disease often comes on quick, showing little to no early signs or symptoms. The best way to prevent possible permanent visioon loss from

glaucoma is to have your eyes checked regularly.

If you’re over age 40 and have a family history of the disease, you should have an eye exam every one to two years.

Macular degeneration effects the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye, and

is caused by the deterioration of the retina and can severely impair vision.

There is no cure for macular degeneration, but it can be treated with vitamins, laser therapy, medications and vision aids.

Diabetic retinopothy is a complication that can occur from long-standing diabetes. It’s caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina.

When diabetic retinopathy is mild or moderate, good blood sugar control can usually slow the progression, so it is important to see your eye doctor and your endocrinologist regularly if you already have diabetes.

“There are treatments and medications for most of these diseases but early action is the most important,” said Dr. Zimmerman. “People should be getting eye exams at least once a year if your doctor thinks it’s necessary.”

Other things you can do to help prevent various eye diseases is watch what you eat.

Eat foods like dark green leafy vegetables, fatty fish, legumes, eggs and carrots. Reduce salt and sugar intake and maintain a healthy weight, as obesity can negatively impact your eye health.

See a doctor before taking any medications or treatments for eye problems and if you notice any change in vision contact an eye care P professional.

New Medicare cards coming your way

by Seema Verma Did you know that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is sending new cards with new Medicare numbers to everyone with Medicare? Instead of your Social Security number, your new Medicare card will include a new number unique to you. This will help to protect you against identity theft and protect Medicare from fraud. Medicare will automatically mail your new card to the address you have on file with Social Security. As long as your address is up to date, there’s nothing you need to do! If you need to update your address, use your personal my Social Security account.

Mailing millions of Medicare cards takes some time, so you might get your card at a different time than friends or neighbors in your area. Want to know when to expect your new card? Visit Medicare.gov/NewCard and sign up to get email alerts from Medicare. Medicare will send you an email when cards start mailing in your state, and also email you about other important Medicare topics.

You can also sign in to your MyMedicare. gov account and see when your card is mailed.

(If you don’t have a MyMedicare.gov account yet, visit MyMedicare.gov to create one.) Once your new card has been mailed, you can sign in anytime to see your new Medicare number or print a copy of your card.

When you’ve received your new Medicare card, take these steps to protect your information and identity:

• Destroy your old Medicare card right away. Make sure you destroy your old card to help protect your SSN and other personal information.

• Start using your new Medicare card.

Doctors, other healthcare providers and plans approved by Medicare know that Medicare is replacing the old cards, so carry the new card with you. They are ready to accept your new card when you need care. Your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay the same.

• Keep your Medicare Advantage Plan card. If you’re in a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO), keep using your Medicare Advantage Plan ID card whenever you need care.

However, you should also carry your new Medicare card—you may be asked to show it.

• Protect your Medicare Number like you would your credit cards. Only give your new Medicare number to doctors, pharmacists, other health care providers, your insurer or people you trust to work with Medicare on your behalf.

Beware of people contacting you about your new Medicare card and asking you for your Medicare Number, personal information, or to pay a fee for your new card. Medicare will never contact you uninvited to ask for your personal information.

Protecting your vision According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eye diseases related to aging are the primary cause of vision impairment in the United States. Many people consider vision loss a natural side effect of aging, but there are ways men and women can protect their vision and reduce their risk of vision loss as they age.

• Quit smoking. According to the National Eye Institute, smoking doubles a person’s risk for age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in men and women over the age of 50. It causes damage to the macula, which is the part of the eye needed for sharp, central vision.

• Protect eyes from ultraviolet light. The American Optometric Association notes that UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse effects on a person’s vision. A short-term effect of excessive exposure to UV radiation can lead to red eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Long-term effects of such exposure

include a higher risk of developing cataracts and damage to the retina.

• Maintain a healthy blood pressure.

High blood pressure can contribute to vision loss as a person ages. HBP also can cause the optic nerve to swell, compromising a person’s vision as a result.

• Take breaks from work. Computer vision syndrome, or CVS, is a legitimate condition that can develop when a person spends ample time staring at a computer screen. Adults and kids alike are susceptible to CVS, which can cause symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, eye irritation and headaches. One way to reduce risk of developing CVS is to take frequent breaks from staring at the screen. A handful of 20-second breaks over the course of an hour can help prevent CVS. In addition, change lighting in the room where you work so you can reduce glare P on the computer screen.

Vision changes as you age As a person gets older certain bodily changes are to be expected. For example, muscle tone may diminish and bones can become more fragile as we age. Exercise and healthy eating may be able to stave off some of the effects of aging, but avoiding vision problems may require some additional effort.

Vision naturally diminishes as we age, but not all vision changes are related to aging. Many natural changes are not severe and may only require a minor adjustment in prescription glasses or contact lenses. Improved lighting or bigger print may help remedy other issues, including blurry text.

However, certain conditions that people blame on getting older really may be hereditary or a byproduct of an illness. There’s a difference between changes that are the result of aging and those that are not. Recognizing the differences can help individuals get the treatment necessary to prevent permanent eye damage.

Age-related changes Difficulty seeing clearly for reading and close work is one of the most common age-related vision issues. This condition can begin as early as age 40 and worsen as a person gets older. Variation in the eyes’ ability to focus properly is called presbyopia, and it will worsen over time.

Other normal signs of aging include problems with glare from headlights or the sun. Lens changes in the eye can cause light to be scattered rather than focused on the retina. This leads to more glare. In dim conditions, a person may find he or she needs more light to see well. That’s because muscles that control pupil size and reaction to light lose some strength.

Changes in color perception also may begin. The normally

clear lens of the eye can discolor, making it difficult to distinguish between certain hues.

Conditions not directly tied to aging Certain eye disorders may become more prevalent as a person gets older, but that does not mean they are a byproduct of aging.

Macular degeneration, which causes spotty loss of detail or sudden and severe loss of central vision, may occur. This condition is a result of damage to the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detail, color and daylight vision.

Risk factors for macular degeneration include high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and untreated high blood pressure. Poor circulation to the retina is the most common cause of macular degeneration.

Glaucoma is another condition linked to aging. Glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve by fluid pressure inside the eye.

Patients with glaucoma typically do not exhibit early symptoms.

Glaucoma is only detectable through routine vision examinations.

According to the Mayo Clinic, about half of all 65-year-old Americans have some degree of cataract formation in their eyes.

People who have cataracts may think they’re an unavoidable part of getting older. While aging may increase the risk of getting cataracts, according to Lighthouse International the true cause is unknown. Other risks include long-term exposure to the sun’s rays, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and eye injury.

Illnesses like diabetes can affect eyesight in many different ways. Proper treatment for diabetes and management of the condition can prevent a number of eye disorders.

Adults should not assume all vision changes are a direct result

Not all vision problems are directly correlated to aging. Adults should speak with their eye doctors about any problems they may be having. of getting older. Annual vision examinations by qualified eye doctors can pinpoint the cause of problems and find treatment P options that are successful.

The candidate said the Queens GOP is refusing to have a “fair and square primary.”

Ariola shot back, calling the endorsement practice “standard operating procedure for a county organization.”

It is a common practice. The Queens County Democratic Party also picks favorites in primaries.

Ariola also brought up how Paladino was interviewed by the Queens County Republican and Conservative parties like Minching was.

“I went for their vetting because it was the right thing to do,” Paladino said in a sitdown with the Chronicle’s editorial board last month about the interviews.

Ultimately, none of the district leaders in the Queens GOP voted for Paladino when making the endorsement decision. Her primary foe got all votes in favor, but one of the Simon Minching says Paladino has “morphed district leaders, Queens Village Republican into a nihilist.”

State Senate candidate Vickie Paladino, left, says the Queens County Republican Party has unfairly undermined her. Councilman Eric Ulrich and party Chairwoman Joann Ariola, right, who FILE PHOTOS are supporting her primary opponent, beg to differ.

“Vickie did not interview well with the district leaders from the 11th Senate District and interviewed poorly with the leadership at large with the county,” Ariola said. “And that’s why she did not get the endorsement.”

Before abandoning the effort, the Queens GOP was planning on getting Paladino kicked off the ballot by challenging her petition signatures.

The party had filed general objections to Paladino’s signatures, which would be followed by the filing of specific objections were it to move forward with an attempt to kick her off the ballot.

The Paladino campaign categorically dismisses the idea of any petition collection fraud.

“It was the smartest move they ever made not to challenge me,” the candidate said.

“Let’s do it the American way, the fair way, and that’s a primary.”

Ariola told the Chronicle that the decision to not proceed with the petition signature challenge was not made because of a lack of “fraud” in the Paladino camp.

“Her campaign is as corrupt as she accuses others of being,” Ariola said of the candidate, who dismissed the comment.

Among the malfeasance alleged by Ariola are 900 signatures she says were collected

by Paladino’s son, Thomas Paladino Jr., over a period of seven days. Gathering so many signatures over such a short period, she said, would be “impossible.”

She said it would be extremely challenging to invalidate the signatures, though.

“We would have to subpoena all 900 of those voters,” Ariola explained.

The candidate’s son said the Queens GOP head’s accusation is a “complete fabrication,” and claimed the party is “simply shocked at the number of signatures we were able to gather without” its backing.

The Queens Republican Party leader also said Paladino’s campaign was operating “almost like a slush fund” because of its payments to Thomas Paladino Jr. The Whit-

estone resident’s campaign has raised $13,930; of that, $1,800 has been paid to her son in consulting fees.

Ariola also pointed out that the son’s place of residence in state records is recorded as his mother’s house, though he told the Chronicle that he has “an apartment in Manhattan but I’ve always maintained my residence in Whitestone as well.”

Thomas Paladino Jr. rebutted the Queens GOP chief’s remarks about the payment, pointing out that he has extensively worked in brand strategy and saying he is being compensated “modestly” relative to the work he has put in to his mother’s campaign. He handles all of her social media pages.

Ariola also accuses the insurgent state Senate hopeful of “threatening” her and Ulrich when Paladino was speaking at an event earlier this year. The candidate was being filmed while she gave the remarks.

“Bring on a fair and square primary or face the consequences, Joann Ariola. Face the consequences, Eric. Face the consequences,” she said in the video. “Anybody, anybody who wants to dare do this to me, realize this fair and square, I will go for your throat. It’s not a threat, it’s a fact.”

In an interview, Paladino insisted that she wasn’t threatening Ariola and Ulrich with physical harm. “I would never want to hurt them in any way, shape or form,” she said.

But the candidate doubled down on the idea of a “clean” primary, one she defines as a race in which county party organizations do not anoint a candidate.

If Paladino won the primary, support from the party would be unlikely.

Asked if he would support her in the event of her defeating Minching, Ulrich said, “I would really have to think about that.”

Ariola also would not be rushing to endorse the candidate in the event of her winning.

“Ms. Paladino has stated that she’s not interested in my endorsement, even though she sought it previously,” the party leader Q said in an email.

Hear the lullabies of Broadway Teen troupe staging show biz classic

“42nd Street,” the venerable backstage show business musical that first delighted audiences as a motion picture back in 1933, remains as relevant today as it must have been then, according to Christine Breviario, who is directing the stage adaptation as this summer’s attraction from the Holy Child Jesus Teen Drama Group. The show runs four performances in Richmond Hill beginning Aug. 9.

“We have big, bright-eyed Broadway dreamers who can relate to Peggy, hoping their dreams come to fruition,” Breviario said during a break in a recent rehearsal.

Peggy, of course, is the show’s ingenue from Allentown, Pa., fresh off the bus in New York City who, almost overnight, becomes a star.

In this production, she is played by Jessica Wasiak, 19, of Glendale, marking not only her HCJ debut but her first appearance in a musical.

“It’s really exciting,” she said.

But her debut will also mark her final performance with the group, which accepts performers from ages 13 to 19, though some go on to take other positions with the troupe.

“I wish I had come here sooner. It’s such a wonderful company,” Wasiak said.

Among those who have chosen to stick around is Liam MacLarty, 27, an alumnus of the HCJ stage who has been serving as assistant director for the past four years.

The current production is so large and demanding that Breviario took MacLarty on as her co-direc tor, while she handles the heav y choreographic demands.

“If you come here as a 13-year-old, you’ll learn how a show is put together,” MacLarty said. “If you stick with the program, maybe you’ll get a part. It’s more about the learning process and celebrating that process.”

Participation in the group, which MacLarty said was founded as a way of getting kids off the streets during their summer vacations, is open to the community; everyone is guaranteed a spot in the ensemble. “We don’t turn anyone away,” MacLarty said. continued on page 35

As the summer continues to wind on and with it the heat, if you’re not at the beach or a summer concert, indoors may be the place to be. However, being indoors does not mean being short on options to explore and enjoy, and the Queens Library’s “New Deal Art” exhibit may be just the thing to see. On display at the Central Library in Jamaica, the exhibit features pieces from the Works Progress Administration collection.

The pieces on display were created by artists working for the Federal Art Project, a part of the New Deal’s WPA program, launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 to help revive the American econo-

my and spirit by creating jobs during the Great Depression. The works were initially created to spur public interest in art by focusing on things that the everyday person could relate to and value.

“At a time when photography was not commonly used to capture an everyday reality, artists throughout the country applied their works in various mediums and styles — including murals, paintings, lithographs, and monuments — to document their surroundings, but also to beautify public spaces across the United States,” the library said in an announcement of the exhibit.

The 27 pieces on display were curated by Kasey Doherty, a graduate student at Queens College whose fellowship in the last school year inspired the exhibit.

“I’m a grad student at Queens College, and over the last school year I did a fellowship with Citi Center for Culture, as well as the Queens Library and this exhibit was a part of the fellowship,” Doherty said.

“When it ended the Queens Library decided to pick up the exhibit and display it.”

According to Doherty, a lot of research was done on the history of the WPA before the exhibit. “We also tried to focus on pieces

20TH CENTURY FOX, LEFT, AND UNITED ARTISTS

Maria vs. Maria!

by Michael Gannon Editor

In the 1961 musical “Wes t Side Story,” Natalie Wood played Maria, a young girl from Puerto Rico who finds forbidden love amid racial hatred and gang turf battles in 1950s New York City. Four years later, Julie Andrews’ Maria reintroduces love and laughter into the home of a widower Austrian aristocrat with seven children in “The Sound of Music.”

You can meet and fall in love with both girls named Maria in August at “See it Big!”, the fourth annual 70mm film festival hosted by the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. “2001: A Space Odyssey” once again is the headliner of a list of films that includes drama, science fiction and the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton epic “Cleopatra.”

Maria von Trapp and Maria — the playwrights of “West Side Story” give her no last name — are both supposed to be in their late teens or early 20s when we meet them on the silver screen. They share other similarities but also have many differences: • based on: Maria — Shakespeare’s Juliet; Maria von Trapp — Baroness Maria von Trapp; • love interest: Maria v.T. — Baron Georg von Trapp, decorated naval officer; Maria — Tony, former gang member/soda jerk; • originally betrothed to: Maria — Chino, member of the Sharks gang; Maria v.T. — a convent in the Austrian Alps; • sewing skills: Maria — seamstress in a dress shop; Maria v.T. — makes children’s play clothes out of window drapes; • favorite things: Maria v.T. — rain-

drops on roses and whiskers on kittens; Maria — Tony.

• villains to overcome: Maria — the Jets and Sharks; Maria v.T. — the Nazis; • happily ever after? Maria — see the movie; Maria v.T. — see the movie.

“West Side Story” won 10 Academy Awards, while “The Sound of Music” with 10 nominations, won five. Andrews, the defending Best Actress for “Mary Poppins,” lost this time around to Julie Christie for her role in “Darling.” Wood, who would be nominated twice in the following three years and have three nominations before her 25th birthday, didn’t make the cut in 1962.

Robert Wise won best director for both films, sharing “West Side Story” honors with choreographer Jerome Robbins.

Other films featured during MoMI’s festival include the musical “Hello, Dolly!” (1969), “Lifeforce” (1985), “The Master” (2012) and “Phantom Thread” Q (2017).

Broadway classic gives actors more than a role continued from page 31 This year, rehearsals began on July 2, according to MacLarty, allowing for only five weeks before opening night, a relatively short period in community theater.

But the production team comes with plenty of experience, including the ubiquitous musical director Paul Johnson, who likes the particular challenges posed by an allteenage cast.

“They have different abilities,” he said of the current group. “They’re extremely talented in dance, but a lot of them are afraid of the vocals.”

The availability of those dancers was, in fact, a primary consideration in the selection of this summer’s show.

“I knew we had quite a few talented tappers,” Breviario said. And the show’s many familiar songs didn’t hurt ... ”The Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” the title tune and more.

Johnson appreciates the tremendous energy the young performers bring, adding, “It’s a thrill when they discover the sounds they can make” when they open their mouths to sing. He was particularly excited to find four young men who could meet the demands of singing harmony in a quartet.

He feels very much at home. “Everyone here is a kid,” he said. “No one is judging you.

Kamprath admitted, however, that understanding the show’s many antiquated refer-

Breviario agreed, saying, “We have to do a lot of explaining.” But, she said, thanks to the magic of musical theater, “They seem to Q be digging their teeth into it.”

Oh no, say it ain’t so, Yo

by Lloyd Carroll Chronicle Contributor

You can’t blame Mets fans for wanting to put their fists through the wall after learning that Yoenis Cespedes would miss the rest of the 2018 season — and a chunk of 2019 — to undergo surgeries to correct bone spurs and calcified Achilles tendons in both feet.

What has to be frustrating for Mets executives is that Cespedes was coming off a lengthy stint on the disabled list for an ailing hip. Following his first game back — in which he homered to lead the Mets past the Yankees in a rare win at Yankee Stadium — he announced to the media without consulting Mets management that needed the two significant surgeries.

Cespedes admitted that his feet had long bothered him and the pain had gotten worse with age. So then why didn’t he report this to team physicians during his stint on the DL? It’s no secret that Cespedes has long marched to the beat of his own drum and that the Mets have let him do it. There was apparently no oversight of his offseason conditioning program in 2017, when he went into an intense and unsupervised weight training program.

And when the Mets were in Miami last month to play the Marlins, manager Mickey Callaway expected Cespedes to take the twohour ride south on I-95 from Port St. Lucie where he was rehabbing to meet with him and

the team. He proved to be a no-show.

John Ricco, one of the triumvirate (along with JP Ricciardi and Omar Minaya) who have assumed the general manager’s role after Sandy Alderson took a leave of absence after a recurrence of cancer, defended the Mets’ seemingly paltry return for longtime closer Jeurys Familia, who was dealt to the Oakland Athletics.

“We knew what we wanted our return to be especially if a team was willing to pick up salary. Sometimes if you wait for a better offer, the team that offered the best deal may start losing a few games and quickly decide that they are no longer in a playoff race. There is risk when you wait,” he stated in a Citi Field press conference a week before the July 31 trade deadline.

On Friday, Ricco and company traded infielder Asdrubal Cabrera to the Phillies for minor league pitcher Franklyn Kilome.

At least this year the Mets are making deals before the trade deadline. Last year, they basically got names out of a phone book in post-July 31 deals for Curtis Granderson and Neil Walker.

Mets rookie pitcher Corey Oswalt was thrilled to get his first major league win last week. Making it extra special was that it came against the Padres. Oswalt grew up in the North Park section of San Diego and could walk to Q Petco Park to see the Padres play.

Homes named for his mother in Fresh Meadows

by Ron Marzlock Chronicle Contributor

Giovanni (John) Ingrassia was born in Trapani, Sicily, Italy on May 14, 1879. He immigrated to America in 1903 with the trade of master carpenter. He married Leonarda Marino in 1908 and quickly rose from carpenter to contractor and builder, and was well-known and respected in Corona for his skills.

John and his wife had two sons, Robert and Joseph, and a daughter, Gloria. After World War II, with a massive housing shortage for returning soldiers, his eldest son, Robert, formed Robert Ingrassia and Associates.

A crooked road running parallel with Francis Lewis Boulevard, that was previously overlooked by builders, called Weeks Lane, was now desirable to the Ingrassia family. They purchased as many empty lots they could find and constructed a dozen one-story homes. They called them “Lana Homes” in honor of their mother, Leonarda, who was known by all as Lena or Lana.

These one-story ranch-style houses

49-16 Weeks Lane, Fresh Meadows, summer 1950. Model home, $16,500, looking for a buyer. called “The Texan” were on 40-by-100foot lots, priced at $16,500, and sold out.

Robert now had his seed money and went on to future successes as a quality home builder. Sadly, in 1977, while on vacation at The San Domenico Palace hotel in Taormina, Italy, he suffered a heart attack and died at age 67.

Today these homes, now 68 years old, are offered and sold in excess of $850,000 to $900,000, proving they were a very Q wise investment.

According to Milbrodt, who is also the library’s coordinator of metadata services, the students found some of the materials that the library had in storage and they pulled them out, and the library then digitised and catalogued the 282 works.

“Putting up an exhibit like this is using the art and fulfilling the purpose that the art was commissioned for, and it gives people a chance to see the art as it was originally intended,” said Doherty. Those sentiments were echoed by Milbrodt.

avenue for people to learn more about the WPA, and see pieces that were created by artists in the program that reflected life not just in New York City but localized to Queens.

An average of 4,000 people visit the library per day, and this exhibit offers a look into the past at a time when cautious optimism was exercised and life was slowly returning to normal for many.
