Coach “Pudgy” WalshBreaks 600-Win Milestone

In the annals of American Football, only two coaches have surpassed the 600-win milestone at the high school, college, professional or semi-pro levels. Coach John McKissick of Summerville High School in South Carolina did it in 2012 and Coach Robert “Pudgy” Walsh of the Brooklyn Mariners semi-pro team did it in 2014. Technically, Pudgy Walsh reached 600 wins in the Fall of 2013, however, he surpassed

that mark this year by adding wins 601 thru 609. Each coach has set a record for coaching tenure at their respective levels, with Coach McKissick having 63 years and Coach Walsh having 58 seasons. The picture here shows Pudgy in the middle with Billy Ahern (Kings Point 1966 longtime Mariner 1972 MVP) and Pat Nilsen. Pudgy, by the way, has been head coach of the Brooklyn Mariners since their found-ing in 1957, and his accomplishment of reaching and surpassing 600 wins has been completely overlooked by the press. The Pointer, therefore, has an exclusive story to publish on this amazing accomplishment.

In the case of Pudgy Walsh, he is

fi ve years younger than John McKissick being born in Marine Park, Brooklyn in 1934, so technically, he is the fastest coach ever to reach 600 wins! He is also a long-time member of the Breezy Point community as his family rented a cabana at the Surf Club for many years going back to the 1960’s. There is no doubt, given his 38-year career as a FDNY fi reman, that his teams were populated with many players

from Breezy Point over the years. In fact, Coach John Kelly of Xavier High School mentioned to me that he played for Pudgy years ago. Well, there are now three more players on Pudgy’s current team that have Breezy Point ties and those guys include Michael O’Shea #67 (Xaverian HS and Catholic University), Michael Potter #58 (Xavier HS and WPI) and Patrick Nilsen #47 (Xavier HS and Catholic University). These players were recruited by Pudgy during a long series of phone conversations that Pudgy had with Mike O’Shea during his senior year at CUA. Mike enlisted Patrick, Patrick encouraged Mike Pot-ter and a few more guys came along

Graybeards Elect New President

Monday evening, November 3rd 2014, at their regularly scheduled Fall meeting the philanthropic group known as the Graybeards unani-mously elected Joe Keenan as their new President. Joe takes over for longtime President Steve “Poppa” Stathis who has held the position from the inception of the Graybeards

Outgoing Graybeard President Steve Stathis passes the gavel onto new President Joe Keenan.

in 2001. Joe’s twelve years of experi-ence as a Graybeard Board member will serve him well as he leads the 250+ members to fulfill their goals of fostering the good and welfare of the Rockaway community while caring for community members and neighbors in their time of need.

Coach Walsh(Continued from Page 1)

to enhance a team already brimming with talent. Pudgy, who turned 80 this year, went to school with Mike O’Shea’s grandfather. The Walsh O’Shea connection is strong, espe-cially since the O’Shea family also had a cabana at the Surf Club going back to the 60’s!

Currently, the Brooklyn Mariners are 9-3 and have just won their second playoff game over the New Jersey Somerset Bears 14 to 10 in a nail-biter that ended with one second on the clock and the ball on the Mariners 1 yard line. Fortunately, the Mariners stopped them and the victory avenged a 14-7 loss earlier in the year and a 30-0 loss last year in the playoffs. What is interesting about the current team is that the complexion of the team has definitely changed from the past, but the winning tradition has not changed at all. Pudgy still per-sonally recruits guys and motivates them regardless of their background or heritage. He is completely color blind and serves as a father figure who dishes out praise and punish-ment, whenever the situation calls for leadership. He loves football and is always looking for talented guys who love it as well.

The team picture shown above, with Coach Pudgy Walsh in the center, was taken shortly after the Brooklyn Mariners beat the NJ Wolves, who were 8-1 coming into

the final game of the regular season. The victory was a closely contested battle, with a 15-14 score, against a long-time rival. At halftime, Brian McGee’s number 33 was retired in a ceremony announced by Pudgy. Brian played for the Mariners for 21 years, set the all-time record for touchdowns with 165 and was MVP in 1997 & 1998. He is also only 1 of 2 guys who played on all four national championship teams for the Mariners. The link for the game and halftime presentation can be found

on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga8eiqKxQIg

Some of the current players who have been on the team for many years include starting center Ed Christie (Kings Point 1992), running back Mike Cerone (1999 MVP), Sean McGlynn #42 (1996 MVP) who showed up for the reunion and decided to play, Coach Buzz, Coach Jimmy Ford. Other people like assistants Eugene, Ed, Bill have helped the team for years. Chris Jones (member of 3 national championship teams) helped

at the presentation ceremony.With such a long history of suc-

cess, there is no way I can do justice in this article to the many players and coaches who have helped Pudgy over the years. What I can say though is that the current team has given Pudgy a lot of enjoyment, as they improved upon a 6-4 team in 2013 and turned it into a 9-3 team this year battling for the MLF American Conference Championship on Sunday.

The Mariners are now in the (Continued on Page 7)

Where Do We Go From HereSo the election is over and Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo won

re-election. No surprise there; however, if you consider that there are almost 12 million registered voters in New York, only a mere 2.3 million chose to vote. Three-quarters of those entitled to vote chose to stay home. And that, dear readers, is a disgrace that begs the question why?

Perhaps we should look at the system. First of all, New York City alone can sway the outcome Statewide with its overwhelming majority of regis-tered voters who consistently vote Democratic regardless of who is running. Jokingly it has been said that the Democrats could run an idiot and that person would still get elected. It’s all well and good to vote along party lines but at some point intelligent choice over party affiliations needs to be recognized.

Secondly with the Democrats firmly in place, they don’t need to do anything for the people they represent. There is no real opposition to their inertia and we the public suffer from their indifference. The only time we average citizens seem to matter to these politicians is when election time draws round. Then we see and hear from them. After the election they return to their lairs to wait for the next contest when once again they will court our votes.

But folks do you honestly believe that our elected representatives should be decided by only a quarter of those entitled to vote? In terms of politi-cal clout that speaks volumes. And what do you think about the amount of money spent in negative ads that filled the airways in this election. Don’t you think it is time that these ads should be a positive list of what they can do to better our lives, rather than flinging dirt on their opponents. Also, unless you are a millionaire with unlimited resources, forget about running for anything more than dog catcher. Politics has become the bastion of the rich and super rich meaning that unless you catch the eye of a super rich backer, none of us stands a chance of running for any office.

When all is said and done on the morning after an election we have to ask “where do we go from here.” Most likely it will be business as usual with no real agenda to offer us and even less likelihood that real change of

Letters To The Editor

The following letters are the opinions of its author and not necessarily those of the Rockaway Point News.

Thank You!Dear Editor,

On Sunday, October 26th, the Rock-away Point Association hosted its an-nual Children’s Halloween Party at the Colony Theater. Hundreds of children attended and enjoyed an afternoon of games, prizes and treats. Thank you to the RPA Board of Directors and Offi cers who volunteered their time and efforts to make the day a success. A very special thank you to our young volunteers who helped with set up, clean up, and running the games: Matthew

Thorsen, Eamon Buckley, Kelly Foley, Timothy Foley, Charlotte Hogan, Mal-lory Hogan, Caitlin Ganci, Peter Ganci, Jillian Ganci, Caitlin Clifford, Brianna Esturo, Jessica Nicholsen, Timothy Fischer, Billy Reyes, Kevin Kanning, Stephanie O’Connor, Maggie Tobin, Grace Butler, Catherine Young, and Lauren Valdemira. Thank you to all of the parents who donated baked goods. We look forward to seeing all of you next year!

Sincerely,Nancy Foley

What A Ball!Dear Editor,

The Century Club had its last dance of the year on Saturday, October 25th in the new and beautiful Catholic Club. In keeping with the spirit of Halloween the dance was a “Costume Ball”. We had angels with colorful wings, devils with pitchforks, Cowboys and Indians, Cartoon characters, Daddy Warbucks and Red Haired Annie and three real leprechauns from Wexford and Dublin, Ireland. Show stopping singers were in from Las Vegas, a special guest appearance from Patsy Cline, spooky vampires, a fortune teller (working) an absent minded Professor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor showed up with a beautiful uni-formed Sergeant Major for Security.

President Tom Concannon in a “you’ll never guess who I am costume” gave away $1200 in cash prizes. The chairladies PJ Darby and Judy Maurer, a coven of energy and ideas, put it all together. We closed the evening with a grand march, the Stars and Stripes up front followed by the most patriotic Monsters and Goblins you have ever seen. We all had a ball! Come join us next year.

Sincerely,Dick Mahon

An Update OnThe Roxbury Store

Dear Roxbury Residents,I want to give you an update on the

situation involving “Kate’s Market”. After our last People’s Association meeting the Roxbury board met with representatives from the co-op. We expressed to them the wishes of our community to have the market repaired

and opened for our residents. The main focus was to underscore our need for a facility that would supply the basic needs for our residents.

During our meeting the co-op representatives stated many negative facts that have clouded their decision to even move forward to repair or reopen a market in our little community. The fact that the last two owners never made money because residents didn’t support the market was an issue of monumental concern. The mere cost to repair or rebuild was another.

The Roxbury board members mentioned the fact that residents don’t require a gourmet store. They just want a facility where they can buy the basic items. As for the statement about the last two owners losing money, I remember a resident named John S. who ran the store productively for almost 20 years before he retired.

This is also true in this situation. The building that now has stood dormant for over two years and has a commercial license is not making the cooperative any revenue. Solution…Rebuild. The area that was once Kate’s Market is a large space that has under-utilized potential. Perhaps the co-op can erect a two story building there. Open a market on the main fl oor with rental space upstairs for income. Or just repair the building and leave it the same footage. Open a market with offi ce space in rear for rental.

There has to be a solution to this problem. The people of Roxbury de-serve a store. We are a mixed community with many elderly and young parents who don’t always have the means or op-portunity to travel outside of the area to purchase the bare necessities. We have

WHISPERING BREEZES“Heard around town that…”

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served our great nation. Thank you for your service and sacrifi ce, without you and your comrades that gave their lives for our freedoms our country would be drastically different.

Had a great Halloween weekend, despite the wet weather. The Coop-erative’s haunted house was spookily good and the crew ought to be proud of themselves; many screams and shrieks could be heard coming from the Colony as the thrill seekers went through the gauntlet. Good Job!

Don’t forget the Breezy Point Cooperative’s Fall Sale is coming up tomorrow from 10am to 4pm in the Colony Theater. The sale will be a perfect chance to get a jump on your Christmas shopping as well as gear up for Thanksgiving coming in just over two weeks.

Congratulations to Graybeard Joe Keenan who was elected President of the philanthropic group this past week replacing the legendary Steve Stathis. Joe, who has served on the Graybeard Board of Directors for the past 12 years, is well suited to lead the group having the temperament, patience and humil-ity needed to get the most out of over 250 members.

Speaking of the Graybeards they have announced the honorees of their 14th Annual Dinner Dance. The re-cipient of the Don DH Hart Memorial Award will be Breezy Point resident Steve Greenberg. Steve, who has given so much of himself to not just the Breezy Community as a former Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Breezy Point Disaster Relief Fund, but to the whole of Rockaway having served on the local school, community and hospital boards, is a great choice for the award. This year’s Graybeard special recognition award will go to the Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 21 of Rockaway Beach and Breezy Point. The AOH is being honored for their great charitable work in the com-munity including bringing back the Rockaway Irish Fest and their support of the Saint Camillus Special Olym-pics. Great work Graybeards as your honorees are truly deserving!

Hope everyone has made plans to attend the upcoming Queens County Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Commit-tee’s Hearts and Shamrocks dance on Saturday, November 15th. The Hearts and Shamrocks dance is the fi rst fund-raiser for the Rockaway Saint Patrick’s Day Parade and will be held in Saint Camillus’ Springman Hall. The event will run from 7-11pm, and will have the Celtic Justice Band as the musi-cal entertainment. Tickets are $40 per person and can be reserved by calling the Parade Committee at 718-318-4749. See you there!

So the Rockaway Ferry is now gone thanks to Mayor DeBlasio’s lack of funding and apathy towards the

Rockaway’s needs. Really hope the Rockaway’s remember this when the next mayoral election comes around; we need to make sure this disastrous admin-istration is held to one term only.

Also on the transportation topic, was traveling back from Rockaway on Beach Channel Drive a few nights this week and can’t believe the street lights from Beach 145th Street to the Marine Parkway Bridge were turned off or not working.

After all the work the city performed to make the lights more resilient to another storm and they aren’t working. It truly is a recipe for disaster when you throw in the many fi shermen crossing the road to get to the seawall.

While on the bashing the city topic, our friendly Mayor has directed the Po-lice to start enforcing his cockamamie Vision Zero initiative which has lowered the speed limit to 25 miles per hour throughout the city. Heard that the speed camera by Beach 108th/105th Streets in Rockaway has already been recalibrated to start ticketing at 36 miles per hour this past week. Said it before and I’ll say it again, 25 mph in Manhattan or heavily

congested neighborhoods might be a good idea, but in the outer boroughs it is not needed and will only succeed in rais-ing more revenue for the city in speeding tickets. Anyone think the Mayor and his cronies will adhere to the speed limit? Yeah didn’t think so…

We extend our sincere sympathies to the family of Helen Greco who passed away on October 28, 2014. May she rest in peace.

To the O’Neill family of Rockaway Point we extend our deepest sympathies on the passing of their mother Kathleen Neuer on November 5, 2014. May she rest in peace.

been patient waiting for action.It is frustrating to always hear terms

like: The issue will be discussed by the long range planning committee. How long do we have to wait? It is especially upset-ting to know that our number one priority (to get our store repaired) is obviously not given the consideration it deserves from our cooperative board of directors!

Roxbury residents if you want your store call and demand action. Stop complaining to your neighbors! Call the co-op and voice your opinion!

I am happy to note that all the other establishments in the Breezy Point Cooperative have been repaired and opened and work is now in progress for the Security Barracks. I wish them all luck and prosperity.

Sincerely,Mary Colleran

Adam And Eve AndThe Election

Dear Editor:I purposely waited until the midterm

election was over to pen this letter because my intent is not to change the minds of the readers, but to change their hearts. As a devout Christian I give great reverence to the Genesis account of the fall of mankind. Eve, as you hopefully will recall was tempted by, “...the ser-pent (who) was more subtle than any beast of the fi eld which the Lord God had made.” Genesis 3:1

What has this to do with our recent election you might wonder?

Well in the Genesis account we dis-cover that the devil is real, and cunning and deceitful, and of great persuasion, and I suggest that he is just as real today, and just as persuasive now as then.

How so you might wonder?Well, in the original temptation this

cunning liar convinced Eve that God had

lied to her, and that He was deliberately denying her the knowledge that she had a right to know. Amazing in that Eve was living in the Garden of Eden - a paradise, she had full knowledge of all that was good, and she had the word of God spoken directly from his lips. Yet this subtle snake convinced her to deny the truth and believe a lie, just as he is doing to us this very day.

And in what way is the devil doing that to us you might wonder?

Well this devil, whom the Bible describes as the father of lies and a murderer, just relies on the same strategy that has worked so well for him since man fi rst appeared: I will convince women that God’s word is not true, and that He is denying them their “reproductive rights!!!”

God’s word clearly teaches that conception begins long before even fertilization. No I’m not deluded. Wasn’t Abraham promised a son long before he and Sarah knew each other in the Biblical sense? Wasn’t Hannah given a man child before she knew her husband? How else can we interpret Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee...” And what about the birth of John the Baptist, foretold, again, before conception?

Scripture is very clear that children are a blessing from God, and he knows us before we are conceived - why is that so strange from a God who is eternal?

Yet, that crafty liar has assembled a host of detractors to deny the clear truth of scripture. Doctors, politicians, and the uninformed will debate with great zeal and fervor that a zygote becomes an “undeveloped fetus” which is not yet a person. Surely, knowing full well that every time you allow time this

undeveloped fetus becomes a beauti-ful child - a treasured gift from Our Loving Father, please, I beg you, don’t believe the lie.

Accepting God’s word on the mat-ter of conception, a believing woman has no right to kill her unborn child, and every woman has a reproductive responsibility - not an unconditional right.

Just a few summary comments:1. Why in all the debate about a

woman’s “reproductive rights,” (which we all know is just code for abortion on demand) is there never, never a mention made of a woman’s responsibility?

2. Why is it the categorical impera-tive of the Democratic party that you be “Pro Choice?”

Sincerely,Ted Feimer

Editorial(Continued from Page 2)anything will come about. So until we are prepared to demand account-ability from our public officials, little will get done.

One further thought though – if Gov. Cuomo is planning on further-ing his future political life, we would strongly suggest that he put together an agenda aimed to foster and improve the lives of the middle class of the great State of New York.

BREEZY FIRE LINESBy BIG JACK

POINT BREEZE FIRE HOUSE DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE

In his rush the beat the deadline for last week’s column, Big Jack’s editor forgot to mention that the De-fensive Driving Course is scheduled for Thursday Nov. 20 at 7:00 PM. Big Jack apologizes for any inconve-nience caused by this oversight. For a $35 per person donation you can complete this course, which will make you a safer driver, take points off your N.Y. State driver’s license and reduce your auto insurance premium.

CONGRATULATIONSCHIEF KILDUFF

We all thank Chief Edward Kilduff for his many years of dedicated ser-vice to the F.D.N.Y. and congratulate

him on his recent retirement. He is one of the true legends of the F.D.N.Y. He visited our Firehouse on several occasions and made very informa-tive presentations on the F.D.N.Y. responses to 9/11 and Superstorm Sandy. All of Breezy Point joins Big Jack in wishing Chief Kilduff the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.

FIRE SAFETY TIPDon’t let your thanksgiving din-

ner be ruined by an oven fire. Take a few minutes to purchase an oven cleaner. Read and follow carefully the instructions on the oven cleaner. Also, put newspapers on the floor by the oven and wear long rubber gloves while using the oven cleaner.

If you encounter an oven grease fire, immediately close the oven door, shut off the oven and call Security at 718 634-2727 so that the officer can dispatch us and call the F.D.N.Y. to respond and correct this very danger-ous condition.

VFW ANNUAL MASS AND BRUNCH TOMORROW

Big Jack hopes to see our entire Breezy Point family at the VFW’s annual Mass and Brunch tomorrow starting at 9am in Saint Genevieve’s and Father Hession Hall respectively. Please call Kevin McCann at 718 634-2157 or Tom Mitchell at 718 474-2959 to make your reservations.

If you have a worn American flag, please bring it to the brunch, so that the VFW can properly dispose of the flag after the brunch.

A GREAT BOOK“Going Back to Move Forward”

a member of the St. Vincent Ferrer Class of 61. John in his book recounts a 64-year old baby boomer’s travel back in time to St. Vincent Ferrer Parish in 1960. If you’re from St. Vincent’s reading this book will bring back many memories of growing up in Flatbush.

John is donating the proceeds of his book to the Wounded War-riors Project. You can purchase a copy of this great book by sending a check for $11.95 to John Sponcia at N49W18382 Wildlife Court Menom-onee Falls Wi. 53051.

Coach Walsh(Continued from Page 7)

Major League Football (MLF) Final Four and key players that have also helped them get there include Dave Legree (South Shore HS, Syracuse/Hampton Univ., signed with NFL Colts ‘12), Jeff Legree (Fort Hamilton HS, Palomar College, NFL Europe), Justin Graham (South Shore HS, C.W. Post), Shavaun White (ASA), Terrence Turner (captain Marist, academic all-star), Davaughn West (Canarsie HS, USMC), Jim Schmidt, Westley Augusto, Brian Argilagos, Mike Thompson (Globe Institute), Oneil Haynes (Canarsie HS, NYC all-star), Tye Battle (South Shore HS), Mike James, Eric Picardo, Anthony Prophete, Joe Stagliano (Springfi eld College), Darius Drew, Tamil Pickard, Joel Buchanan, Kadeem Jonas, Mike Zhenilenko, Raynaldo Pagan, Valerio Auguste (Xaverian HS), Isiah Labato, Suli Suliman, Phil Smalls, and others. These guys don’t have a connection to Breezy Point other than to say they play for the most successful coach in college, professional and semi-pro history and that’s good enough.

Pudgy has a tradition he follows after every game win or lose. He gets both teams together at mid field tells them how heroic they played this great game of football and then has every-one say a prayer, an Our Father, as a blessing. Coming from a family that said rosaries regularly, when I grew up, I find the traditional to be refresh-ing. He is not saying prayers before the game asking for victory, instead, he is bringing everyone together and adding a special quality to end the game. There is another football coach, who I learned this year, followed a tradition of attending mass every day and saying prayers for his team. He was on track to become a priest, but was a bit grumpy at times and decided to become a football coach instead – his name was Vince Lombardi. I guess Pudgy has some good company with his demeanor, his traditions and his winning record.

TEEN NEWS& PRE-TEENS TOO!

By Gert Hendry

Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2014 we cel-ebrate Veteran’s Day in honor of all the men and women who were in the wars to keep America free. It was their dedication, determination, strength and courage that brought about the Independence we now have. To honor, respect and give recognition to these heroes, our veterans fl y our beautiful fl ag on their special day. Also bow your head in prayer for them and for the men and women who are now in our armed forces protecting us from harm and helping those in need of help. God Bless our Veterans, our men and women in service, God Bless America.

In April, more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls ages 15-18 were kidnapped and recently it was thought they would be released. Instead, a video was re-leased and the head of the extremist group said, “If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might lead some of you to die from grief”. I have long ago married them off”. There was a worldwide demand for their safe return. How blessed we are to live in a country where we are all treated equal? As in past writings, not like the women and girls in Iraq and other countries, are

inferior (lower, less important). First “Lady Michele Obama and Angelina Jolie, have joined the worldwide social media campaign to free “the teenagers” according to reports.

Twenty-fi ve years ago on Nov. 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall dividing East and West Germany fell. Germany is celebrating with a temporary wall of 8,000 helium balloons stretching 8 miles. The balloons will rise in celebra-tion of 25 years of freedom and the wall came down giving freedom and unifi cation to those who were separated from their families and divided their neighborhoods. The wall was erected by “The East German Government to keep its citizens from defecting (for-saking a course). Consisting of 12 ft. of concrete, topped with barbed wire, with 302 watch towers and 20 bunkers, equipped with a 100 alarms protected by thousands of armed soldiers with guard dogs. “More than 5,000 people managed to escape from the German Democratic Republic in the East to the Freedom of the West”. They did this traveling through tunnels, hidden in cars, and even in hot air balloons. There are 3 watchtowers remaining (of 302).

There is a museum called The Berlin Wall Memorial, which portrays the trials of people involved in this Cold War. A bit of History celebrated Nov. 9, 2014-25 years later.

If you plan to go to Family Bingo on Nov. 14, 2014 at the Colony Theater from 7:00-9:00 p.m. contact Theresa Flanigan at 718-945-2300 x115 for reservations.

Reading the Business section of the news – “Reefer Madness” – A probe is being done in Wall Street. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Com-mission) is investigating “allegations that a coterie (an intimate exclusive group) have been minting millions as they pump the shares of many losing pot companies”. These include sup-pliers to Pot farmers, and a consulting outfi t that trains people how to market Marijuana”. Also under watchful eyes “are makers of pot vaporization gear, and climate controlled light chambers to grow green glistening dope buds”. Just something to be aware of. Mari-juana is the fi rst step to Doing Drugs. Not worth trying – the chemistry of your body may require stronger drugs and eventually you become addicted. Addiction is hard to lose so don’t be tempted to do any drugs. “Be true to yourself at all times” a quote from 1911 (103 years ago and still “true” today.)

Be Well & God Bless

Graybeards(Continued from Page 1)

Steve Stathis, in his last address to the membership as President, re-marked on how far the group had come from a bunch of guys who enjoyed playing basketball and were called to action by the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the crash of Flight 587 into their neighborhood. He expressed astonishment at the transformation of the group from well-meaning neigh-bors to the go to folks when people need help in the Rockaways and Broad Channel, which helped them distribute over 1.4 million dollars of Superstorm Sandy relief donations. Steve thanked his fellow Graybeards for their dedication and service to the community and said in 14 years, whenever he needed anything and asked, he never heard the word no from anyone.

Steve also announced that the honorees at the 14th Annual Gray-beard Dinner Dance will be Steve Greenberg accepting the Don DH Hart Memorial Award, and the Special Recognition Award will go to the Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 21 of Rockaway Beach and Breezy Point. The Graybeard Dinner Dance will be held at the El Caribe Country Club in Brooklyn on Janu-ary 24, 2015.

Putting Your Garden To Bed

Breezy Point Gardener

PULL UP DYING PLANTS First, pull up any plants that have

had insect or disease problems. You don’t want pests or diseases wintering in your patch. Burn or bag any diseased plants — don’t toss them onto your compost pile.

PARE YOUR PERENNIALSCut back your perennials, leaving

them four to six inches tall, but don’t do this before the fi rst killing frost. The energy in the upper plant fl ows to the root systems, where it’s stored for the winter. If you cut back too early, energy stores don’t get to the roots. Wait until the plant is dead, and then cut it back.

REMOVE SLIMY LEAVESWhile you’re cutting, make sure that

any plant that has become slimy and matty after a hard frost gets removed. Get those slimy leaves out of your garden so diseases and bugs cannot winter there. Pests love slime. Hostas and Solomon’s Seal, for example, can both get pretty slimy. Also, make sure you dig out all of the weeds and give your garden enough water to keep plants moist in the winter.KEEP PRETTY PLANTS STAND-

INGLeave plants that look pretty, stand

up straight and have interesting seed heads, such as sunfl owers, conefl owers, thistles and blackberry lily. They are beautiful in the winter. If you cut all of your plants back to the ground level you may be eliminating next season’s crop of butterfl ies.

COVER UP WITH COMPOSTSpreading one to six inches of com-

post or composted manure over your garden enriches your soil with nutrients and keeps it from becoming depleted. Compost can be made up of many things, including everything you have cut back throughout the year, food waste from the kitchen and manure. Shoot for a balance of brown and green materials. Think straw, leaves and grass.

DON’T JUMP THE GUN WITH WINTER PROTECTION

Don’t put protective mulch (pine branches, salt marsh hay or chopped leaves) down too early.

PLANT YOURSPRING-FLOWERING BULBS

Daffodils, tulips, crocuses, hya-cinths and even garlic get planted in the fall. Remember that each bulb should be planted at a depth that is three times the height of the bulb. So a one-inch bulb gets planted about three inches down. The bulbs themselves don’t need water, but it’s a good idea to water the soil as watered soil is harder for animals to dig up.CONSERVE YOUR GREENERY

When you rake up all of the leaves from deciduous plants on your property, make sure you add them to your com-post rather than getting rid of them. They contain vital nutrients for your soil.

POLISH YOURGARDENING GEAR

The super extra-organized gardener can wind up the season by cleaning all of their garden tools and putting them away in the shed. And after that? Get yourself a new gardening book and a nice cup of tea and sit down and enjoy it

GaNun Named to HVIAC Women’s Volleyball All-Conference

Saint Joseph’s College Junior Lauren Ganun (Breezy Point, N.Y./Fontbonne Hall) was named to the All-HVIAC Team follow-ing the conclusion of the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) Championships last Sunday.

This is the third consecutive season she has won the All-Conference honors.

The two-time HVIAC Player of the Week and three-time Association of Division III Independents (AD3I) Player of the Week was an offensive powerhouse for the Lady Bears, leading the conference this season with 308 kills. She also averaged a conference-best 4.60 kills per set that helped St. Joseph’s to the HVIAC semifi nals. The junior was third

in the HVIAC in hitting percentage with .279.In addition, GaNun had four double-doubles and 14 matches with double-

digit kills, including fi ve times slamming over 20. She also set a new career-high with 40 kills in a fi ve-set win over Culinary, a mark that still stands as the most kills in an NCAA volleyball match this season.


St. Camillus Observes Sandy Plus 2 With Prayer Service

On the second Anniversary of Superstorm Sandy Saint Camillus Catholic Academy held a beautiful prayer service that included music, a candle lighting, sharing of petitions and communal prayer. The students and staff offered words of thanks to those who helped rebuild and words of blessing and perseverance for those who are still displaced. The school’s theme for the day was Rockaway Strong, Light the Shore at Saint Camillus Catholic Academy.

Fontbonne Students Attend Techweek

Pictured are students from Fontbonne Hall Academy who attended Techweek in New York City.

Fontbonne Hall Academy students never pass up an opportunity to learn more about technology. On October 2, a group of students attended Techweek’s LAUNCH Start Up Competition in New York City. They met the next generation of technical inventors and professionals who were there to compete for $50,000 in cash and prizes. Accompanied by Mark Surdyka, director of technol-ogy, and Rosemarie Ganser, computer science teacher, students were able to talk to the competitors and learn about their products. They learned that tech-nology has a broad reach and can be found in many fi elds from fashion to music to laundry pickup services. They experienced virtual reality devices and

programmable robots. To provide even more opportunities

for its students to learn about comput-ers and technology, Fontbonne began a Girls Who Code Club this year. The mission of Girls Who Code is to inspire and educate girls and equip them with the computing skills to pursue 21st cen-tury opportunities. The members of the club learn valuable coding skills. They wrote programs on their very fi rst day and recently used coding to complete an art design project. In October, stu-dents from Visitation Academy joined the students at Fontbonne to create a combined club between the two schools. Next up: the girls will learn how to code their own video game!

VFW NewsBy Kevin McCann, Commander

Ninety-six years ago this Wednes-day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 all went quiet on the Western Front.

The day November 11 would be-come known as Armistice Day and later as Veterans Day. The Armistice with Germany was signed at 5:10 a.m. but not effective until 11:00 to allow the information to travel to the front lines. Technology allowed the news to go to capital cities by 5:40 am and celebrations began before many soldiers knew about the Armistice. In London, Big Ben was rung for the first time since the start of the war in August 1914. In Paris, gas lamps were lit for the first time in four years. But on the Western Front, many tens of thousands of soldiers assumed that it was just another day in the war and officers ordered their men into combat.

However the eleven o’clock timetable was one minute too late for Pvt. Henry Gunter a solider of German -American descent from Baltimore, Maryland. Pvt. Gunter would be listed as the final casualty of the nearly 8.4 million other victims (113,000 American) of WWI. But

Gunther was in a distinct minority. He had died of a wound while more than half of the rest had died of the flu or other illnesses.

There had been rumors of an Armi-stice for several weeks. Back in Sep-tember, Belgian Radio had announced a cease fire only to have to retract it several hours later. On November 7th, 1918 reports hit the streets that an Armistice had been signed. In New York City people poured into the streets shouting joyously, blowing horns or banging pots and pans. On Wall Street they had a spontaneous ticker tape parade. The Department of Sanitation maintained that 155 tons of ticker tape and torn paper floated from windows. Fifth Avenue became so crowded that police closed it to all traffic and the New York Stock Exchange closed half an hour early “in view of the momentous occur-rence and the triumph of the Allied Cause.” The next morning they would discover there was no Armistice. Four days later on November 11th, trans-atlantic telegrams arrived in New York revealing that an Armistice had indeed been signed.

Although Gunter was listed as the last official causality over 10,000 men (British, French and American) were killed, wounded or went missing on November 11th, 1918. The Americans alone suffered over 3,000 casualties that day. When these losses became public knowledge, Congress held a hearing regarding the matter. In November 1919, Gen. John Persh-

ing faced a House of Representa-tives Committee on Military Affairs that examined whether senior Army commanders had acted accordingly in the last few days of the WWI. He testified that although he knew about the timing of the Armistice, he simply did not trust the Germans to carry out their obligations. He therefore, as commander in chief, ordered the army to carry on as it would normally do as any “judicious commander” would have done. In the end, Congress found no one culpable for the deaths that had occurred during the last hours of World War I. Among those Army

officers who fought up until the final hour was a young artillery officer by the name of Harry S. Truman.

Tomorrow our Post will be observ-ing Veterans Day beginning with a 9:00 a.m. mass at St. Genevieve’s followed by a brunch at Fr. Hession Hall and the dignified disposal of unserviceable American Flags. Please bring any unserviceable flags to Fr. Hession Hall tomorrow. Ben “Big Ben” Thompson” a Past State Com-mander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be the guest speaker and awards will be made to some very special people.

JETSTREAM

Ok, what can we take out of Sun-day’s game. We run the ball extremely well just not extremely often. We have a great punter. We have 3 quar-terbacks who do not function well and we didn’t lose our spot in next year’s draft. Sounds like another day in Jetsville.

If the game would have just been played on Saturday it could have been Mudville. So what does our beleaguered secondary have coming

into town, oh yes, Big Ben who threw for 500 yards 2 weeks ago and then 6 touchdowns on Sunday. You won’t need a scorecard you’ll see every Jet player’s number as they chase after Steeler receivers. So what can we do about all this?

Have a Jet tailgate party of course to be held at Pebbles 12pm starts the fun. Free drinks till 1pm, game time. Then cash bar. Food at half time. All Welcome, Non Members $20.

Veterans’ Day: Local Hero PassesVeteran’s Day is November 11th.

This year it is important to bring to the attention of locals one of Rock-away’s most honored veterans and my neighbor, George. After marrying Gloria, George moved from Brooklyn to Rockaway where he raised his two boys, Glen and Gary. Sadly, George passed away last month. However, make no mistake about it, this column is no simple memorial to George and his life in Rockaway. It is a tribute to him for his outstanding bravery and contribution to our country’s victory in the Second World War.

Those veterans old enough to have served in WWII have dwindled to a precious few. If any of those survi-vors can remember the Air Forces’ 381st Bombardment Squadron, they might remember George Potolsky, his name until Gloria got his entire family to change it to Post. George served in the Air Force in the North African campaign for a period of nine months during which he flew

as waist gunner on a B-25. His mis-sions included raids over Salerno, Panteleria, Naples, Gela, Capua and Sardinia. He went to Africa in 1943 and took part in the entire Tunisian Campaign. He flew on 50 missions. For this he was awarded the air medal and 9 oak leaf clusters. George was wounded slightly in the lip on his 49th mission. But, the wound did not stop him from completing his 50th mission. He related stories to his son Glen of how on two missions, when the landing gear was stuck, he had to crank it down by hand. He was also required to adjust the flaps which he did manually when mechanics failed.

George was a pitcher on the base hardball team playing games against major leaguers. He particularly remembered playing against Wes Westrum, former manager of the Mets. He further recalled while in North Africa how he was entertained by Bob Hope who was WWII’s best

ambassador from the entertainment field to our soldiers. While George was in the Air Force, his brother was in the army, both fulfilling their service obligation to this great country.

Up until 4 years ago George was still playing tennis in Hewlett a few times per week and driving. After giv-ing up his car, George would travel to a gym in the five towns by bus to meet and workout with buddies of many decades. George was an executive in the book publishing field and, after working out, would spend countless hours on his porch facing the ocean, reading. As a dog lover, he could be seen walking his terriers a few times a day up and down the block.

George’s active air missions, timed out at between two and a half and four and a half hours totaling one hundred ninety two hours and forty minutes between April 11th and Sep-tember 22nd in 1943 and were impres-sive. Some of his more recognizable targets were in Italy: Naples, Rome, Salerno, Catanzaro, Angitola, Lit-torio railroad yards, Monti Corvini, Crotone, Anfitola, Vallefiorita, Baat-

tapaglia, Givatovecchio, Grazzanise, Trebisacce, Potenza, Castelnuova Road Junction, Torre Annunziata Road Junction, San Cipriano, Torre Annunaiata, Sluneri (bridge and road switchback). He also flew missions over Sicily, Sciacca and Enna Road Junction.

World War II had many heroes. When George, a recognized hero, was interviewed for a news article about this late flight that held up a Bob Hope USO performance, his reply was typical understatement: “I don’t think we had any particular feelings about the flight.” “It was part of our job.”

A major salute to American vet-erans of all wars on their day! Here’s hoping our Congress wakes up and treats our vets with the respect and dignity these veterans earned while defending our country. Congress must put partisan politics aside and provide the finances and personnel to tend to the medical and social adjustment needs of our veterans. That congress needs a reminder, in this regard, is disgraceful.

Blessed Trinity 5TH Grade BoysBasketball Team Wins Home Opener

By: Sean McCarthy-CoyneThe Blessed Trinity Fifth Grade

Boys Division II Basketball Team opened up its long awaited season against Nativity at home on Saturday, November 1, 2014. Last year’s season was at times frustrating, as some of the boys had never played organized ball before, and two of their teammates were only in the second grade. To make matters worse, the team was placed in CYO’s highest division, where teams had experienced players with high qual-ity talent. This year the team has been properly placed in a division that has slightly less experience and talented players.

This year’s team is again coached by Ed Coyne, with his son, Sean, being on the bench as his assistant coach. The guards are Lakym Lowman, Taiwan Bilbo, Owen Singleton, and Damian Stathis; forwards are Patrick Kelly, Aidan McCormack, Jack and Owen Ryan, with Eddie Coyne rotating at all positions.

Blessed Trinity got off to a sluggish start, seemingly nervous, and not sure if last year’s season was being carried over to this season. Turnovers and missed opportunities had the boys trailing 6-1 at the end of the fi rst quarter, and down 6-4 at the half. Nativity com-mitted seven fouls in the fi rst half, all committed against Eddie Coyne, who was frustrated at being double teamed

and hammered often by the Nativity players.

During halftime, Coach Coyne gave the boys a pep talk and reminded them of their hard work leading up to this game, that last season is now a distant memory, and that they have the opportunity to once and for all bury last season and start this season off with a win!

The boys took the court to start the third quarter with more energy and optimism. The team’s defense and of-fense improved, and suddenly the boys were in the game, hustling all over the court. Eddie Coyne chipped in three points and the team trailed 9-7 at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter saw Nativity still double and triple teaming Eddie Coyne, making it diffi cult for the offense to get in sync. Coach Coyne called a time out, and set up a few plays to move the ball away from Eddie Coyne (11 points) hoping to get additional contributions on offense from other players. Guard Lakym Lowman took a pass from Aidan McCormack, who had just pulled down a big rebound, and showed his speed, going the length of the court, past three defenders and pulling up for a short jumper, that swished through the net, cutting the Nativity lead to 12-11. The crowd was now into the game, and the boys defensively were all over the Na-tivty players. Patrick Kelly gathered in a

rebound, threw an outlet pass to Lakym Lowman who brought the ball up court, seeing Damian Stathis breaking down the left side free. Lakym hit Damian with a pass, who drove to the basket putting in a layup to give the boys their fi rst lead of the game 13-12. The boys ran down the court on defense jumping up and down, the bench howling and the fans screaming encouragement. Coach Coyne was yelling with what

Sadly, the Rockaway Ferry is no more. Once again, City Hall has turned its back on Rockaway.

Just one day after the second an-niversary of Superstorm Sandy, Mayor DiBlasio ignored our pleas, and make it perfectly clear that there was no hope for continued ferry service past Friday, October 31, 2014. To make the point abundantly clear, fi rst thing Monday morning, November 3rd, the ferry dock at Beach 108th Street was completely removed.

The Seastreak Rockaway Ferry was serving the entire Peninsula, from Beach 6th Street to Beach 222nd Street. At Beach 108th Street, it was centrally located. There was free parking and convenient access by public bus for non-drivers. The fare was affordable.

The travel time was convenient, and the trip was safe. The ferry was also “green,” keeping hundreds of cars off the roads every day.

But City Hall decided that we don’t deserve it. And somehow, none of our city, state, or federal elected offi cials could fi nd a way for us to keep the ferry.

The politicians came up short for Rockaway again, just like they did with Sandy Recovery in general. Re-member that the next time you vote. There are consequences when you pull that lever.

Be well. Our recovery will not be complete until all 2,837 of our homes are back. God bless Breezy Point.

voice he had left at the boys that the game was not over. During a Nativ-ity timeout, Coach Coyne put in his defensive specialist, Owen Singleton, instructing Owen to get up on whoever had the ball. Nativity inbounded the ball looking to take the lead with 32 seconds left in the game. The move paid off as Owen stole a Nativity pass and was off on a breakaway, but he

Being Prepared For Rain, Snow And Storms This Winter

By Marilyn Harvey

If you have a medical or other emergency you should call Breezy Point Security at 718 634-2727 or 911. The phone number for security for a non-emergency is 718 634-5902 which will connect you to the control booth. Based on this last weekend’s cold and rainy days, PSEG and I have come up with some tips to keep you safe this winter season.

DOWNED WIRES Stay away from any downed wire.

Assume that any downed wire is a live electric wire. Do not approach or drive over a downed wire. If a wire falls on a vehicle, occupants should stay in the vehicle until help arrives. Additionally, parents are urged to check for downed wires in areas where their children might play. To report a downed wire, call 1-800-490-0075 anytime and let PSEG know the nearest cross street. If you lose power, fi rst check your neighborhood. If you are the only one without power, check your fuse box for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. If that’s not the problem, look outside at the wire between your house and the utility pole. If it is down, report it immediately to PSEG Long Island by phone. Report a power outage using any of the following methods:

- Phone: 1-800-490-0075- Mobile devices: Text “OUT” to

PSEGLI (773454). You’ll receive on-going updates about the status of your outage. If you’re not registered, text REG to PSEGLI (773454) or visit My Account.

stormcenterIf you call and receive an automated

response, please follow the prompts, as it is designed to route your call to the right destination. If you have specifi c information regarding damage to wires, transformers or poles, please stay on the line to speak with a representative to provide that information.

General outage activity throughout the service territory is also available from your computer or mobile device at www.psegliny.com/stormcenter, where we also post updates during severe weather. In addition, if outages are widespread, the utility will activate its social media pages to keep the public informed about restoration progress. Customers can follow PSE&G at http://twitter.com/PSEGLI and http://www.facebook.com/PSEGLI.

Customers with life-sustaining equipment who rely on electricity to operate life-sustaining electronic equip-ment, such as a respirator or dialysis machine, should notify PSEG Long Island at 1-800-490-0025. They should also inform their rescue squads and fi re departments of their needs, in case of emergency. Customers with life-sustaining equipment should also have emergency back-up equipment on hand, since immediate power restoration can-not be guaranteed. Consider a generator- remember to get gas to power it.

If driving please slow down and be alert when driving past a PSEG Long Island worksite/construction crews and other vehicles like school buses, security vehicles or coop work

trucks. Driving too fast can endanger you and other employees and hamper their ability to perform important work. PSEG Long Island crews use work area protection — traffi c cones, utility work signs and fl aggers — to allow them to do their jobs safely. Follow safe driving techniques to prevent fender-benders or more serious collisions that could delay emergency vehicles and service technicians as they respond to customer calls or emergencies.

GENERAL STORMPREPAREDNESS TIPS

Mother Nature can be unpredictable. It’s wise to have an emergency kit on hand year-round. Things to include: a battery powered radio, a corded tele-phone (Cordless phones will not work if the power is out), fl ashlights and extra fresh batteries, Car charger for mobile devices, a fi rst-aid kit, bottled water and an adequate supply of non-perishable food, a non-electric can opener, matches and candles with holders, extra blankets and sleeping bags, a list of emergency phone numbers, including PSEG Long Island’s 24/7 Electric Emergency line: 1-800-490-0075. Call this number to re-

port power outages or downed wires.Other items to consider is sanitation/

baby wipes, large bottles of water (fi ll up old 2 liter soda bottles and put in a closet. This helped me during hurricane sandy I had 20 put aside as a back-up) to fl ush toilets if plumbing goes. Multi tool with pliers, Others to consider: In-fant/baby needs, those with disabilities, special needs and pets.

Medical Considerations: Doc-tors phone numbers, health cards, medications, prescriptions, medical documents, hearing aid batteries, ensure walkers, canes, oxygen tanks are fi lled and accessible.

Important documents: Social Secu-rity Card, immunization records, cash and bank account info, safe deposit info, credit card account info including 800 number and inventory of valuable household goods.

Copies of: insurance policies, wills, family records, passports, deeds, stocks/bond certifi cates, phone numbers and e-mails of important contacts.

These are just a few of the sugges-tions to keep you prepared and safe this winter.

was fouled from behind before he had a chance to shoot. Blessed Trinity ran the in-bounds play they had been practicing for weeks, Patrick Kelly passing the ball in to Lakym, who passed quickly to Damian, who found Eddie breaking down the lane with a terrifi c pass who was knocked to the ground with a hard foul before he could get a shot off. With 12 seconds left in the game, and hold-ing on to a one point lead, Eddie got off the fl oor, went to the foul line, shooting

1-and-1. Eddie made the fi rst shot, boys up by two! Eddie looked at the basket second shot... swish! Blessed Trinity leads 15-12. Nativity inbounds the ball with 12 seconds on the clock, as the BT coaches yell to their players “no fouls”, the Nativity player drives the length of the court putting in an uncontested layup as the buzzer sounded. Final score 15-14 Blessed Trinity. The coaches and the boys looked up at the scoreboard, and after having no regular season wins last year, they all smiled, as their hard work, perseverance and teamwork paid off. This season will be different.

Goldfeder Fights Beach 116th Street Parking Nightmare

After receiving numerous com-plaints from customers and business owners on Beach 116th Street about broken parking meters, Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder wrote a letter the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) calling on the agency to immediately repair and replace broken meters along the busy Rockaway Park com-mercial district.

“As long as these meters are broken, we risk scaring away much-needed economic activity in the Rockaways,” said Assemblyman Goldfeder. “I urge the Department of Transportation to act immediately and ensure that resi-dents and visitors can again legally park on Beach 116th Street without fear of being ticketed.”

According to residents, the city dispatched a crew three weeks ago to remove a faulty muni meter on the 200 block of Beach 116th Street, but never returned to replace it. Ad-ditionally, business owners report that many other meters on the street don’t accept change or frequently run out of paper for printing receipts. These problems have been discouraging customers from shopping in the area for many weeks now, business own-ers report.

“Our customers come into the store terrifi ed of getting a ticket after trying four different meters with no

luck,” said Elizabeth Hanna, owner of Brown’s Hardware Store on Beach 116th Street. “We’ve been here on Beach 116th Street for 43 years and this could potentially put us out of business.”

In his letter to DOT Queens Bor-ough Commissioner Dalila Hall, the Assemblyman requested that missing meters be replaced and that DOT take immediate steps to repair malfunc-tioning meters. The Assemblyman emphasized the importance of stores on Beach 116th Street to the economy on the Rockaway Peninsula, espe-cially as the community continues to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

“Customers on Beach 116th Street depend on convenient street parking when they visit, and the businesses on Beach 116th Street depend on the support of local customers,” said Krzysztof Sadlej, Executive Director of the Beach 116th Street Partnership. “Broken or malfunctioning meters, combined with aggressive enforce-ment, have led to frequent fi nes and a loss of customers. When locals can’t do their daily shopping with ease, everyone loses; the customers and all of the hard working small-business owners.”

“Our local businesses and com-mercial districts like Beach 116th Street are essential to our economic

development and recovery after Sandy,” concluded Goldfeder. “For the city to leave these meters broken

down or missing hurts our local busi-ness owners when they most need our help.”

Comptroller Stringer Announces Charter School Audits

Last week New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer announced that his offi ce had commenced audits of the fi nancial and operating practices of four New York City charter school entities.

“Nothing is more important than the education of our kids,” Comptroller Stringer said. “My offi ce is going to make sure that taxpayer dollars are being used appropriately and that proper controls are in place to ensure that all young New Yorkers are getting the quality education they deserve.”

Merrick Academy in Queens, Bedford Stuyvesant New Beginnings Charter School, South Bronx Charter for International Cultures and the Arts, and Suc-cess Academy Charter Schools-NYC were selected based on objective criteria, including geography, size and publicly available fi nancial data.

Goldfeder Calls For End of Rat Plague at Sandy-Abandoned Properties

In effort to combat growing ro-dent infestations in the community, particularly around Sandy-damaged properties, Assemblyman Phil Gold-feder has called on the NYC Depart-ment of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to do a comprehensive inspection of abandoned properties and other problem areas in the com-munity; and to place rat traps and rodenticides to curb the growing health emergency.

“Our families have suffered long enough from rats breeding in neigh-boring abandoned properties and invading their homes and yards,” said Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder. “That’s why I’m calling on the De-partment of Health to step in and take the necessary actions to keep

this situation from growing out of control.”

In his letter to DOHMH, the As-semblyman provided a comprehen-sive list of abandoned properties in his district for the agency to inspect and place rat traps and rodenticides. Additionally, Goldfeder encouraged the agency to work with local com-munity groups to locate and respond to other areas with frequent rat in-festations.

“One of the most rat-infested areas in our community is 84th street and Shore Parkway in Howard Beach,” said Joann Ariola, President of the Howard Beach Lindenwood Civic. “The Department of Health needs to make this location a priority for

cleanup because it is not only a health hazard, but it is a public safety haz-ard to the residents.”

The Assemblyman’s efforts co-incide with a recent audit by city Comptroller Scott Stringer of DO-HMH’s handling of rodent complaints city-wide. The audit found that while rat complaints by residents had skyrocketed to 25,000 in the last year, DOHMH and its Pest Control Services Department were not taking sufficient steps to address infesta-tions. Constituents reaching out to the Assemblyman came to similar conclusions, with many experiencing

unsanitary conditions and property damage as a result of the problem.

“Rats coming from the abandoned property next door recently got into my garage and chewed up the seats and wiring in my brand new car,” said Sonia Cassata, a Neponsit Resident. “I want to know that the city is on top of this situation and will do something to correct it.”

Last June, Assemblyman Gold-feder unveiled a three-point plan in response to growing concerns over va-cant properties following Superstorm Sandy. In response, the Assemblyman received dozens of calls from residents concerned with vacant properties in their neighborhood. From these calls, the Assemblyman was able to compile

a list of all known vacant properties in the community for referral to the NYPD and other city agencies for treatment. The Assemblyman noted in his letter that pest control at these properties is one more step in return-ing to normal after Sandy.

“These are the quality of life issues that prevent our communities from returning to normal as we recover from Sandy,” concluded Goldfeder. “By curbing this alarming rat infesta-tion, we will go a long way in putting residents at ease.”

Commander Ferry Set To Sail OffTo A Salvage Yard!

Breezy Point to lose a piece of our history, if she isn’t saved

By Marilyn Harvey

October 23, 2014 Just got off the phone with Kathi, owner of the M/V Commander and after 32 years of successful operation on the Hudson River, the ship is retiring. It would be nice if Commander remained in the Hudson River or found a new home in another port, but at this point the next home maybe a salvage yard if we cannot find a new home for the ship.

Some of the specs on the ship: Length: 60.6’ - Beam: 24.4’ - Draft: 4.9’ - Gross Tons: 14 (calc. by old method) - Fuel: Diesel - Engine: Single Detroit Diesel 6-71NA, 228 HP (3 gal. per hour)– Generator: 8KW – USCG inspected for 150 Pas-sengers plus crew of 3. 5 Year C.O.I. as of 2012 as well as credit dry dock in 2013. Lower enclosed deck: En-closed Pilot House, Service Bar, Buf-fet Serving Area, Men’s & Women’s Heads & seating 60 for dinner, and up to 100 for cocktails. Upper deck: Canopy covers 2/3 of Upper deck with bench seating for 150. Room

for DJ & dancing on either deck. No restrictions to upper deck.

Hudson Highlands Cruises oper-ated the historical M/V Commander, built in 1917. The M/V Commander is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. She was a commissioned US Naval boat during War World I (SP-1247). In 1982 the M/V Commander began to cruise on the Hudson River after a 60 year career in the Jamaica Bay/New York harbor area. Since then she had been operating sightseeing cruises and doing private party charters from her home port at Haverstraw Marina in Rockland County, NY. The Com-mander was also docked at Peek-skill Riverfront Park in Westchester County, NY and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in Orange County, NY.

Breezy Tour & Travel ran a trip to the Commander Ferry and West Point a few years back and we had a great time. The Ferry also made an appear-ance at the Breezy Point Cooperative

Anniversary a few years ago to the delight of many in our community that were able to take a ride down memory lane on the ship. If anyone has any ideas on how we can save and repurpose the ship into a restaurant

The Commander Ferry as she passed West Point Military Academy, NY.

or get it back up and running with a new home, please reach out to me at [email protected].

We were not be able to save the Rockaway Ferry, but maybe we can save this one.
