KIDS RALLY INLONG ISLAND CITY

(continued on page 5)

TO SAVE LIBRARY SERVICE, LIBRARY JOBS!Queens Library CEO Thomas W.

Galante; students from PS 111, PS 112 andVoice Charter School; and library loversfrom the community rallied outside QueensLibrary at Long Island City last weekend insupport of funding that would save libraryservice and library jobs.

“The estimated $25.3 million in fundingcuts proposed by the Mayor’s administra-tion would be devastating to the public li-braries that provide our communities with awealth of services,” said CM Jimmy VanBramer. “Public libraries improve academic

performance in our schools, provide adultliteracy courses and inspire young people tobecome lifelong readers. I applaud the ef-forts of these young advocates and willcontinue working with my colleagues toprotect our libraries.”

New York City’s Executive Budget callsfor a cut to Queens Library of $25.3 millionin FY ’12. It would mean reducing libraryservice to the lowest levels ever; lower thanthe fiscal crises of the 1970s and 1990s oreven the Great Depression.

Upcoming 7 LineService Diversion

There will be a service diversion affect-ing the 7 line on the weekend of June 25-27th.This service diversion, along with one whichoccurred on the May 21-23 weekend andone which is scheduled for the July 30-August 1 weekend, is necessary to addresscritical infrastructure issues in the SteinwayTunnel, which the 7 line uses to run betweenQueens and Manhattan.

There have been significant problems inproviding an adequate level of service onthe 7 line in recent months due to theseissues. Repair work will be focused oncorrecting the following problems thathave affected service reliability:-Signal circuits in the tunnel requiringrepairs.-Water intrusion in the tunnel.-Electrical power system problems.-Structural defects in the tunnel thatrequire repairs.

MTA New York City Transit beganemergency repair work in the Steinway Tun-

nel during the May 21-22nd weekend. Twoof the six signal circuits most in need ofrepair were completely rewired and are work-ing as designed. Over 1,000 track plateshave been installed and over 700 feet oftrack cleaned using the Vac-tron train. Over3,800 debris bags of muck and silt that wasin the tunnel due to water intrusion werebagged and removed.

Significant work remains to be donein the Steinway Tunnel to bring it to astate of good repair. In order to carry outthe needed work:

There will be no 7 line subway ser-vice between the Times Square-42ndStreet and Queensboro Plaza stationsfrom 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, June 25th

to 5 a.m. on Monday, June 27th. Aspecial ‘fare-free’ shuttle bus servicewill operate between the Vernon-Jack-son and Queensboro Plaza stations whilethe service diversion is in effect.

Announcement Of $2.9 MillionGrant To Serve NYC Schools

At Public School 112 in Long IslandCity, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Queens, Manhattan) announced that CityYear New York has received a $2,921,000AmeriCorps grant from the federal Corpo-ration for National and Community Service.$552,000 of this award will fund City Yearcorps members serving in Long Island Cityschools. Queens Borough President HelenMarshall, City Councilman Jimmy VanBramer, Susan Stern of the New York StateCommission on National & CommunityService, Itai Dinour of City Year New York,P.S. 112 Principal Rafael Campos, City YearCorps Members, and students joinedMaloney for the announcement.

This grant will support City Year NewYork’s service programs, which place young

adults in under-resourced public schools toserve full-time as tutors and mentors. Fromthe first bell until the last student leaves theafter-school program, City Year corps mem-bers focus on improving student attendancerates, behavior and course performance inmath and English - which research fromJohns Hopkins University confirms are in-dicators of a student’s likelihood of graduat-ing from high school.

The current year’s AmeriCorps grantcycle was highly competitive, due to thestrong and growing demand by organiza-tions seeking AmeriCorps resources. Orga-nizations requested nearly twice the numberof grant dollars and AmeriCorps positionsthan could be funded.

Gayle, himself a professional artist, instructor and framer duringthe opening ceremony highlighted the work of his various class groups separated into adultartists, young artists and the special portfolio class. Many of the students both adult andyouth only started formal instruction this year and the quality of the works were very goodespecially those of the adults. The hard work of the portfolio class students (middle schoolstudents currently in 8th grade) truly paid off as it was announced that all of the students madeone of their top high school choices with four of the students to matriculate at Art and DesignHigh School in Manhattan and the fifth to attend The Mary Lewis Academy in JamaicaEstates. Mr. Gayle beamed as he announced this as these schools and their art programs arevery competitive to get into and in high demand.

Also in attendance were the Southern Queens Park Association Director of OperationsPeter Richards and SQPA Cornerstone Program Director Louise Mercado who presentedCertificates of Appreciation to all the students for participation in the 9th annual SQPA artexhibition “Colors in Black” which was held in February at Roy Wilkins Park. Mr. Richardsstated that the participation of the Atelier was greatly appreciated as they met the call forneeded artists and helped fill a major gap in the exhibition this year. It was also announcedthat the Atelier will partnership with the SQPA to offer satellite classes at the Roy WilkinsRecreation Center starting in August to help expose a larger audience to and encourageparticipation in the arts, especially for older adults. The day was capped off by a beautifulpot luck spread in the yard area off the studio’s rear entrance where students, friends andguests enjoyed a beautiful spring day, lounging and eating and of course dipping inside toview the fruits of their artistic labor. For more information on the Atelier and its programs,including its intensive 2-week summer program for adolescents featuring an intensivedrawing program with introduction to museums, contact David Gayle at (917) 868-8022 or(718) 528-6959 or by e-mail at [email protected].

REAL ESTATE

REAL ESTATE FACTSby RITA LOWRY

PROCEED WITH CAUTIONMany sellers are tempted to list For Sale By Owner (FSBO) because

they feel home prices are down and they don’t want to lose one morepenny to paying a commission. But with fewer than ten percent of allhome sales falling into the FSBO category, it’s a challenging strategy.

In personal terms, you’ll have to safeguard yourself against prospectswho have not been screened and qualified by a professional. Whensomeone calls to request a showing, note their caller ID and keep a log ofvisitors. Stash away prescription medications and valuables before show-ings, and afterwards check that all your windows and doors are locked.

There are also legal considerations for your listing and hopefully,your eventual sales contract. Be sure your listing complies with the FairHousing Act, which prohibits discrimination against buyers. If you’reunfamiliar with escrow and title insurance, hire a real estate attorney todraft, review and record all documents.

This economy makes securing a loan difficult, so it’s wise to requirea loan pre-approval letter from buyers before accepting any offers. If youreally want to get attention, sweeten the pot by offering a two or threepercent commission to any agent who brings buyers to you. FSBO is notthe easiest route, and many impatient and frustrated sellers end up hiringan agent to make the sale happen.

Letters To

The EditorThe following letters are the opinionsof its author and not necessarily those

of the Woodside Herald.

Dear Editor,It seems like Albany has been

talking about clean energy and itspotential to create jobs for a verylong time. Fortunately, Assembly-woman Catherine Nolan is doingsomething about it, and we wouldlike to thank her for real leadershipon this issue.

Right now, the state Legisla-ture is examining a major initiativeto revitalize New York’s economyby adding an impressive 5,000megawatts of solar power capac-ity. As a co-sponsor of the so-called New York Solar IndustryDevelopment and Jobs Act, As-semblywoman Nolan is playing animportant role, helping blaze thetrail toward a greener, stronger NY.

The Solar Industry Develop-ment and Jobs Act is not only goodfor the environment it will helpreinvigorate New York’s economyin a very real way.

This legislation will generate$20 billion in economic activityfor the state and create at least22,000 jobs. These jobs will bediverse, ranging across a broadspectrum of salary levels, skill andeducation requirements and em-ployment fields. What’s more, theywill be local jobs, and difficult tooutsource, meaning they will trulybenefit New Yorkers.

Right now, New Jersey, wherea similar program is already inplace, has six times the solar capac-ity that we do. Clean energy hasbecome a major industry in NewJersey, and its rapidly growing so-lar industry companies say that thistype of program has been critical totheir success. It’s time to bringthose jobs and benefits to NewYork. This bill is currently movingthrough the Assembly’s Ways andMeans Committee with the sup-port of Assemblywoman Nolan,and it fits perfectly in with Gov.Andrew Cuomo’s vision to makeNew York a clean-energy leader.

All those years of talk aboutthe innovation economy comedown to this moment Albany mustact today for a better, more pros-perous tomorrow.

Raccoons In Sunnyside

Dear Editor,A family of raccoons has es-

tablished a home in Sunnyside,Queens, at 39th street and/or be-tween the Midtown Expressway.Rachel, Raquel, Ricky and Roehave been munching on wild ber-ries and taking nocturnal romps inthe backyards of our homes. Theyenter the neighborhood through theprivate common driveways and dis-appear during the days in the un-derbrush and trees. Perhaps theyhave some unknown hideaway?So far, no damages have been re-ported. No pets or children havebeen harmed. However, neighbors,be advised… these four leggedmammals are undomesticated anddangerous! They have Sharpe teeth,and razor Sharpe claws. They alsohave been known to be rabid!

Condolences To TheHuges Family

Dear Editor,Our deepest sympathy to the

family of Margaret (Margie)Hughes. We were very sad to readof her passing, on March 17th, inthe Woodside Herald.

Her son Jerry oftenstopped in the Woodside SteakHouse to sing a few songs with mybrother Joe (Flat-top) Fink. Againour deepest sympathy to the fam-ily.

Summer Concerts InWindmuller Park

Dear Editor,The people have save the con-

certs in the park. Power to thepeople. Woodside On The Movehas sponsored summer concerts inWindmuller Park for 40 years. Iremember my daughter Alison andother toddlers in the ‘70’s dancingspiritedly to the rock music (mygrown daughter now has 4 kids ofher own).

Woodsiders still enjoy the con-certs, the most popular involvingaudience participation, such asLindying to swing music, swayingto Do-Wop, Rock and more re-cently Slasa and Caribe rhythms.Nowadays, the dancing toddlersnumber Latinos and Tibetan kids.

The most popular concerts of

all were the Irish concerts, whichattracted over 2,000 attendees.Remember those beautiful Irishbaby boys.

From the beginning, the con-certs have been financed by ourelected politicians with moneyfrom constituent services. Re-cently, however, city and state aus-terity has squeezed that moneysource. I don’t know how WOTMExec. Director Rosa Reyes foundmoney for the concerts last year.We enjoyed only six concerts.

The prognosis for this year wasbleak. No money. Period. No con-certs. So we did a fundraiser lo-cally, raising over $5,000 for 5concerts. If some unresponsivemanagement companies camethrough, we may finance one ortwo more.

Special thanks to the boardsand shareholders of Berkeley Tow-ers II and III who were particularlygenerous during this financiallydepressing time.

Next year, we want to raiseenough to sponsor 8 concerts. It isup to the people. Power to thePeople.

Catholic Churches

Dear Editor,It has come to my attention that

one parish in our community is a“members only, word of mouth”establishment. I am sorry to saythat St. Teresa’s Parish is not openor forth coming about events.

A friend of mine told me thaton Saturday, June 11th, there is afair at St. Teresa’s. I looked in thatweeks Woodside Herald to checkabout upcoming fairs. I noticeQueen of Angels, St. Raphael’sand All Saints Church all haveadvertisements. Why not St.Teresa’s? I notice you photographthem (i.e., St. Teresa’s) after theevents, quite well. What good isthat? Catholic churches are thehome of everyone. In fact, the Pas-tor Msgr. Herran once said ‘whenyou mention Catholics, you areopening the door to everyone.’

But I pose this question… Don’tactions speak loader than words?

Don’t misunderstand; St.Teresa’s does a lot of good. Theyhost United 40’s and AA meet-

ings. But they have an “aloof, invi-tation only” mentality.

It does not fit in with the rest ofthe Woodside/ Sunnyside vibe.

Talk to the Pastor. Explain thatthe people of the community wantto know about them. Don’t hide.That’s what they are doing now!

We’re all in this together. If theywant free publicity in your paperthey should earn it. Please urgethem to reach out. It’s the Christianthing to do.

Sincerely,Scandi Khan.
