New Public Space In Sunnyside!

Ribbon Cutting On Queensbridge Park Seawall

On July 8th, New York City Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver, numerous elected officials, including New York City Council Majority LeaderJimmy Van Bramer and community members cut the ribbon on newly reconstructed Queensbridge Seawall.

Get ready for summerlunches out in the plazas! Con-struction on the new Bliss Plazaat 46th Street and Queens Bou-levard is coming along well, andthere is expected to be two pub-lic plazas open in Sunnyside laterthis month.

As reported earlier, the twoplazas, the Lowery Plaza (at40th Street) and the Bliss Plaza(at 46th Street) are being im-proved with the installation ofseveral planters as well asmoveable tables and chairs asa part of NYC DOT’s NYCPlaza Program.

In the Bliss Plaza, DOT willlevel the surface to create oneeven space, similar to the levelspace currently in the LoweryPlaza. Sunnyside Shines will beresponsible for maintaining thespace, including the tables, chairs,plants and planters.

We are very excited aboutthese public space improvementscoming to Sunnyside, and areextremely grateful to the com-munity leaders who supportedour application. Thank you toCouncil Majority Leader JimmyVan Bramer, Community Board2 Chair Joe Conley, Queens Bor-ough President Melinda Katz,Senator Michael Gianaris, Con-gressman Joe Crowley and sev-eral community organizations,residents, businesses and prop-erty owners who have supportedthis idea over the last year.

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,the Bronx), Vice Chair of theDemocratic Caucus, issued thestatement below regarding the de-cision by the United States PostalService (USPS) to downsize theQueens Processing and Distribu-tion Center in Whitestone, NY:

“I am truly disappointed by thePostal Service’s decision todownsize its Queens Processingand Distribution Center,” said Rep.Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx). “These cuts will be devas-tating for so many families alreadystruggling to get by and it is uncon-scionable for the USPS to balancetheir books on the backs of work-ing class New Yorkers while com-promising their service for Queensresidents. We need to find an alter-native solution to the financial hard-ships of the Postal Service and it istime for my Republican colleaguesin Congress to stop dragging theirfeet on real reforms that can re-sponsibly address the issue.”

Crowley has long protested thepotential closure of the QueensProcessing and Distribution Cen-ter. He’s held a rally with postalemployees and community mem-bers, written a letter calling on theUSPS to keep the facility open,and held multiple meetings withUSPS officials.

Crowley is a co-sponsor ofthe Postal Service Protection Act(H.R. 630), legislation that willfree the Postal Service from anunprecedented requirement thatit pre-pay $11 billion in futurepension obligations in an effortto alleviate the financial burdenfacing the USPS.

Progress on the Bliss Plazaconstruction!

Paid Family Leaveby Assemblywoman Nolan

At the most critical momentsof our lives, far too many of usNew Yorkers face an impossibledecision: “Do I choose my familyor do I choose my job?” There aretimes when our families as well asour jobs need us. We have a new-born, a child is seriously ill or anaging parent is hospitalized andwe need to take time from work.

Yet only 12 percent of all pri-vate sector workers have paid fam-ily leave. The Federal Family andMedical Leave Act (FMLA) doesoffer some help but its coverage islimited. Forty percent of theworkforce is left out. Even thosewho do qualify for family leaveunder the FMLA often cannot af-ford to take it because it is unpaid.

Paid family leave is out of reachfor too many in our city and ourborough. The loss of income or ajob can take a huge financial toll

and puts families at risk. No oneshould have to choose between afamily’s health and its ability tomake ends meet.

There is a solution: common-sense legislation to provide paid fam-ily leave for New Yorkers. That iswhy I have sponsored A.1793-B. Itprovides paid family leave and away to pay for it. The bill has al-ready passed in the Assembly. Sena-tor Addabbo has introduced the samebill, S.4742-B, in the Senate but ithas not yet passed. We are urgingthe Governor and our colleagues inthe Senate to lend their support.

My legislation will provideworkers in New York State with upto 12 weeks of paid leave a year tocare for a new child or a seriously illfamily member. It will also helpmilitary families. Knowing paidfamily leave will be there if andwhen they need it will provide everyworker with peace of mind. More-

over, it will bring greater financialstability to 50,000 to 77,000 NewYorkers each year as well as thefamilies who rely on their earnings.

Family leave insurance will notburden small businesses. The pro-gram will build on New York’sexisting Temporary Disability In-surance program to which bothemployers and employees contrib-ute. In fact, eight out of ten smallbusiness owners support expandingthe state disability insurance pro-gram to provide paid family leave.

Times and attitudes havechanged. It is time for workplacesto change too. All New Yorkersshould have the ability to care fortheir families in times of need. Wecannot afford to wait. We mustpass A.1793-B (Nolan) /S.4742-B(Addabbo) now. Please contactyour New York State Senators andthe Governor and ask them to sup-port these bills.

Queensbridge ParkSeawall

“The completion of the QueensbridgePark Seawall restores access to the water-front, access that has been denied for far toolong,” said New York City Council MajorityLeader Jimmy Van Bramer. “QueensbridgePark is a jewel in Western Queens and restor-ing the Seawall and rebuilding its esplanadewas my top priority when I was elected. I amproud to have secured $3.65 million to helpachieve this goal. The reopening of the sea-wall after years of closure is a huge win for thepeople of Western Queens and is a promisethat I am proud to have delivered on. Nolonger do Queensbridge residents need tolook at the seawall as it crumbles into the EastRiver. Instead, residents will be able to enjoya park and waterfront just as lovely as any inNew York City.”

The renovation of the Queensbridge ParkSeawall now brings a beautiful 6-foot widepromenade with benches and plantings, aswell as a small wharf at its northern end backto residents of both Western Queens and theQueensbridge Houses.

“This project ensures that Long IslandCity residents are better protected and betterable to enjoy full access to their waterfront”said New York City Parks CommissionerMitchell J. Silver. “It also reflects the com-mitment of the de Blasio administration andNew York City Parks to building resilientparks that integrate with our shorelines andhelp reduce the effects of climate change.”

The renovation process was jumpstartedlast year after CM Van Bramer allocated$3.65 million to launch the project. Afterdecades of deterioration the restoration of the

seawall will give Queensbridge residents andNew York City park goers the opportunity tofully experience one of Queens’ most heavilyutilized parks and to reconnect to the EastRiver waterfront.

Since being elected to represent the 26thDistrict, Van Bramer has delivered on hispromise to restore Queensbridge Park to itsoriginal state for local residents. During hisfirst term in office Van Bramer has securedover $6 million to overhaul the popular West-ern Queens park.

Last year, the Council Member secured$2.5 million in funding to also completelyrenovate and restore the Queensbridge parkhouse. According to the Parks Departmentseveral amenities within the renovated parkhouse could include a modern comfort sta-tion, storage space for the athletic teams thatuse the playfields year round, and office spacefor Parks Department staff.

Over the past four years, in addition toinvesting into the park’s infrastructural im-provements, the Council Member’s office hasalso allocated over $250,000 to LIC YMCA,which provides Western Queens children withsports leagues that utilize Queensbridge Park.

The restoration of the Queensbridge Parkseawall was funded with $3.65 million allo-cated by Council Member Van Bramer, $1million allocated by Borough PresidentMarshall, $1 million allocated by MayorBloomberg, and $1 million from the Metro-politan Transportation Authority.

This renovation of the seawall was man-aged by New York City Economic Develop-ment Corporation and included the recon-struction of the seawall using rip-rap revet-ment. Rip-rap, made up of large rocks, wereused to protect the shoreline and will absorband deflect waves while lessening the effectsof erosion.

New Alternative VisualArts Venue In Sunnyside

by Alyssa Bonilla

Sunnyside has a new alternative visual arts venue, called the White Space Project,located inside the White Cake Bakery & Café, 48-11 43rd Avenue. The inauguralexhibition, called “Spacescapes,” features the beautiful, abstract landscape paintings ofSunnyside fine artist Tony Buczko. The art is will be on display for the entire month of July.

The White Cake Bakery & Café owner, Yoon Chung says he plans to feature the workof a different artist every month. “We remove the tables from the front part of the café tocreate a mini-art gallery to highlight the artwork during the opening reception. For the restof the month, customers can enjoy the art while they enjoy our food.”

Yoon explained that in the beginning he wanted white walls and a minimal décor to keepthe focus on the food. “The customers kept saying to me that the walls were too white. That’swhen I asked my friend, Sooyeun Ahn, who is a curator, to begin the White Space Project.”

Tony Buczko and Yoon are neighbors who live on 46th St.,” said Sooyeun. “Yooninvited Tony to submit images for review. When I saw Tony’s work, I thought how luckywe were to find him.”

When asked about the meaning of his work, Buczko replied, “People ask me that all thetime. I explain that abstract painting is about feeling. If, when you look at a yellow painting,you feel happy, that is fine. If you feel peaceful when you look at a blue one, that is enough.Those are the same kind of feelings I have when I paint, and those are the feelings I wantto share with the audience.”

Artists are invited to submit images of their work for review through the White SpaceProject’s Facebook page. Tony Buczko can be reached at [email protected]

WalterMcCaffrey

Dear Editor,Woodside witnessed an inspir-

ing tribute to deceased Council-man ‘Walter McCaffrey, led byCouncilman Van Bremer and Com-munity Board 2 Pres. Joe Conley.Woodside Avenue at 61 St. has aproud new name: WalterMcCaffrey Place.

I would like to add a few itemsabout Walter. People were com-plaining about dogs running arounddisturbing Doughboy Park. 1 sug-gested a dog run. Three months

later Doughboy Park had a dogrun.

When the NYC Co-op Federa-tion went to City Hall in the early’90s to plead for distressed co-opssuffering co-op conversion, Walterwas there to support us, strongly.

Walter frustrated MayorBloomberg’s congestion pricing totax Queens cars entering Manhat-tan. 400,000 Queens car ownersbenefitted.

On his staff, community lead-ers Ed Fowley and Ro DaRaio ‘goteverything done.‘

Walter’s greatest accomplish-ment: Against strip clubs. Whenthe strip clubs were banished fromTimes Square, they came here andproliferated; it seemed like theywere on every block. Most notori-ous was Naked City, on QueensBlvd at 56th St., with flashingsearchlight beams. Customerscame by the busload, wreakinghavoc on the quiet Woodside 50’s.

Fighting for years, Walter finallypassed legislation to limit stripclubs with a 500-foot rule, whichhe personally measured in somecases. A bunch of clubs wereclosed; new clubs were not opened,and existing clubs were forced toobserve the restrictions. Quietblocks remained quiet, and ourquality of life was preserved.

Walter, we have not praisedyou enough. You deserve a statue.

Al Volpe,Woodside



Woodside Teen’sSocial Enterprise

Student and socialentrepreneurKashfia Zaman

Kashfia Zaman of Woodside is asophomore at Young Women’sLeadership School of Astoria. She isalso a social entrepreneur of amaz-ing skill. She started a communityservice project that improves theenvironment, raises money forQueens Library and raises social con-sciousness in the business commu-nity, all at the same time. She col-lects discarded bottles and cans,cashes in the deposit, donates themoney to the library and has askedlocal businesses to match what shecollects. To date, more than $120has gone to the purchase of newbooks for tweens at the library.

The project began after a teachersuggested that students start a vol-unteer project. “I thought to dosomething concerning the environ-ment because of global warming.,”said Kashfia, 14 years old, whoaspires to be a software engineer orcomputer programmer. “So Ithought about recycling bottles andcans. And I remembered in my el-ementary school there was a teacherwho, when she recycled bottles andcans, she would cash them in tohelp her sister whose house felldown in a tornado. So I got all thismoney, and I decided to do some-thing for the community.”

“I decided to give it to the librarybecause the library has always beena very important thing to me. It wasalways there for me. I could alwaysgo to the library and request as manybooks as I want.” Then, it occurredto her to go to local businesses andask them to match whatever fundsshe raised herself. With the help ofher teacher, Kashfia drafted a writ-ten pledge and asked the businessesto sign. So far, Kashfia has receivedmatching funds from ImaginationUnisex Hair Designer, AnthiaDigenakis of Function EnhancingPhysical Therapy and GuillermoHung of Pao & Cha Cha.

Kashfia chose John Green’s TheFault in Our Stars as one of her

donated titles. It is very popularamong tweens (10-12 year olds).When asked why she chose booksfor people younger than herself,she said, “Little kids, if you startgiving them something to do as ahabit, they pick it up quicker thanolder kids. I’ve seen that in mysister and myself. So if we could getlittle kids in the habit of reading, asthey get older, they would still havethat habit. I hope [the readers] wouldsee that an average child boughtthem the book and they would alsofeel more inspired to do more vol-unteer work and help out in theircommunity. And they should knowthey don’t have to be anything spe-cial in order to do this. And also justlove the book and love reading—use it as a hobby.” Tienya Smith,the community Library Manager atQueens Library at Long Island Citysaid, “I was completely blown awayby the vastness of her project and Iwas excited to buy books for ourchildren—especially the JohnGreen books.”

She has bigger plans, still. “Myteam and I are also constructing awebsite where we talk about keep-ing more libraries open during theweekends. That way, students canhave access to libraries on theweekend to do their homework orhave access to the internet. On thewebsite we have letters and pic-tures explaining why we wouldwant to keep the libraries open onweekends. My friend and I are alsowriting a letter to the Mayor Billde Blasio asking him if he couldmake a little more space in thebudget for libraries. The website isstill under construction.”

Kashfia says she has learned alot in interfacing with local busi-nesses. She has learned “to be verypatient with everything becausewhen I went to local businesses, youmeet a lot of different personalities,and sometimes you have to be pa-tient with them, you can’t lash out.”
