SHELTER THANKSGIVING DINNER

On November 25th, New York City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer, Thea Romano, President of theDutch Kills Civic Association, and members of the Girl Scouts of America served Thanksgiving meals to over 100women living at the Department of Homeless Service’s Pamela’s Settlement shelter in Long Island City. The 126women at the recently opened Long Island City shelter enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast, generously donated by CouncilMember Van Bramer’s office, and shared time with members of the community in celebration of the upcoming holiday.

STRENGTHENING PENALITIESFOR REPEAT HIT & RUN OFFENDERS

On December 1st, the New YorkCity Council’s Transportation Com-mittee considered two pieces of leg-islation (Intros. 603 and 604) intro-duced by Majority Leader JimmyVan Bramer which seek to for thefirst time in the City of New Yorkpenalize repeat offenders who arefound guilty of hit-and-run crashesas well as require the New York CityPolice Department to expand its ex-isting hit-and-run reporting to theCouncil by including data on civilpenalties which are levied in hit-and-run crashes and the amount paid.

During Majority Leader VanBramer’s questioning of the NYPD,Inspector Dennis Fulton of theTransportation Bureau for theNYPD revealed so far in 2015 therehave been 38,000 hit-and-runcrashes that occurred in the City ofNew York. 4,000 of those hit-and-run crashes involved injuries; 31resulted in death. Only 28 arrestswere made, an increase over lastyear but still not enough.

“The NYPD’s shocking sta-tistics really show just how im-portant it is for our City to punishthe 4,000 people who hit anotherhuman being with their vehiclethis year, left them to die on thestreet and thought they could getaway with it,” said Majority LeaderVan Bramer. “This legislation isnot meant to measure the value ofthe lives lost, but to act as a force-

ful deterrent to our city’s mostdangerous drivers. We are send-ing a message directly to hit-and-run drivers: if you hit someoneand leave the scene of the crash,we will find you and punish you tothe fullest extent of the law.”

In 2014, the Council enacted the“Justice for Hit-and-Run VictimsAct”, instituting civil penalties forleaving the scene of an incident with-out reporting. Majority Leader VanBramer introduced the “Justice forHit-and-Run Victims Act” follow-ing several hit-and-run crashes thatoccurred in his district and claimedthe lives of Luis Bravo, 19, KumarRagunath, 64, and Karen Pheras, 20.Currently under this law those wholeave the scene of hit-and-run colli-sion without taking action requiredby law would be subject to pay acivil penalty of up to $500 if prop-erty damage results from the inci-dent; $1,000 to $2,000 if a person isinjured; $2,000 to $10,000 if there isserious injury; and $5,000 to $10,000if death results.

Intro. 603 would increase thecivil penalties for those leaving thescene of an incident without report-ing more than once. Repeat hit-and-run offenders would be subject topay a civil penalty of up to $1,000 ifproperty damage results from theincident; $2,000 to $5,000 if a per-son is injured; $5,000 to $10,000 ifthere is a serious injury; and $10,000

if death results.Intro. 604 seeks to require that

information about any civil penal-ties imposed be included in the quar-terly “hit-and-run” report alreadyrequired by Local Law 50 of 2014.At the hearing, transportation safetyadvocates spoke in favor of Intros.603 and 604.

“Transportation Alternativessupports Majority Leader VanBramer’s legislation because it willlead to a uniform, predictable appli-cation of existing penalties for leav-ing the scene of a crash,” said PaulSteely White, Executive Directorfor Transportation Alternatives. “Itwill also give the public compre-hensive data about the scale of thehit-and-run problem in New YorkCity, which is essential for develop-ing evidence-based policies to re-duce traffic deaths and serious inju-ries.” The NYPD does supportenacting Intro. 603 and submittedtestimony stating the bill wouldstrengthen existing laws which pe-nalize hit-and-run drivers.

“Intro. 603 would strengthen [Lo-cal Law 50] by increasing civil pen-alties for repeat offenders,” said In-spector Dennis Fulton of the Trans-portation Bureau for the NYPD. “Thebill would hold the most irrespon-sible drivers accountable for the ba-sic decency that one would expectfrom those operating motor vehicleson our crowded streets.”



SECOND ANNUALVETERANS DAY ESSAY CONTEST

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx), Vice Chair of the Democratic Cau-cus, announced the winner of the secondannual Veterans Day essay competition forstudents in New York’s 14th CongressionalDistrict. Krushi Patel, an 8th grader at I.S.61 in Corona, placed first out of nearly 500students who participated. Crowley pre-sented Krushi with a statement that wasentered into the Congressional Record andrequested an American flag be flown overthe U.S. Capitol in honor of her essay.

“This competition has become a won-derful way for the youth in our communityto reflect on and express their gratitude forthe sacrifices our service members makeeach and every day,” said Rep Crowley. “Inher essay, Krushi writes about her personalexperiences with some of our veteran he-roes and how inspired she is by their self-lessness and courage. It is equally inspiringto see our youngest generation value andunderstand the great service our veterans

have lent to our country.”“We should tell them that we deeply

appreciate the sacrifices they took to keepus and our country safe; that they willalways have a special place in our hearts,”wrote Krushi in her essay. “It’s not easy tobe away from your family, for months andyears at a time.”

Krushi’s winning essay marks the sec-ond consecutive year a student at I.S. 61 hastaken top honors.

“These people do what may seem un-imaginable for most people,” Krushi contin-ued. “These people volunteer themselvesfor the nation they were born in. That is whywe salute them.”

Crowley’s essay competition was opento students in grades 5-8 who live in the 14thCongressional District. Second place hon-ors went to Khadiza Sultana from I.S. 141Qwhile the third place finisher was Jason R.Eng, also from I.S. 141Q. Both runners upalso received congressional recognition.

Rep. Joe Crowley is joined by (l. to r.) I.S. 61 Assistant Principals MichelleVelázquez and Andrew Rocco, contest winner Krushi Patel, her mother KrishnaPatel and social studies teacher Mary Dawber.



Ethel has lived in her house inSunnyside Gardens for 75 years,arriving with her husband Maurice,and toddler, Sylvia. They had twomore children here; in 1943, Henry,and Janet in 1944.. Ethel was wid-owed over 40 years ago, but haskept up an active life, working fulltime until she was 94, her last jobas an administrative assistant atMarymount in Manhattan.

Surprisingly, she got there bytaking public transportation byherself, which is also how shereached her dancing classes, andevery day swimming., which shecontinued until she was 99.

Plimack still keeps busy,watching the news and speaking toher children and grandchildren. Herchildren visit often. She enjoysthree meals a day, knits with skilland works crossword puzzles withfriend Donald Williams. In betterweather, she sits on her porch andenjoys interacting with passingneighbors. Josie Ellis, who livesfulltime with Ethel as a caretaker,takes obvious good care of her andis now known and popular in the

ETHEL SHOWS ‘EMneighborhood herself.

The Plimack children are oneobvious secret of her longevity,because despite their worry, theyhave gone along with her strongwish to live an independent lifeand stay in her home. All over 70themselves, they too look surpris-ingly young.

There have been four womenon Ethel’s block who reached 100,so word is there is something in thewater on 46th Street, but Ethel hasoutlived them all, has all hermarbles, and enjoys life. “I thankyou all for coming to do this,” shesaid to the assembled birthday sing-ers, “You have made me veryhappy.” She seemed to brightenmost of all upon seeing childrenarrive, some with flowers for her.“Hello, there,” she said, not forc-ing conversation but gently lettingthem take her in.

Another secret of Ethel’s longlife, which has been evident foryears, is her strong preference toconcentrate on the “living” side oflife rather than aging. She ap-proaches each day with cheerfulgusto, and continues to be a valu-able and loved neighbor, friend,example and resource for her com-munity. Happy Birthday, Ethel.Keep up the good work.

HOW IT’S DONE

Thanksgiving Weekend/Sun-day at 6 PM saw the Woodsidecommunity gather at the MantonFamily House and gardens on 58thStreet. The celebration started witha rendition of Feliz Navidad onvocals and guitar by Manny Perez.This was followed by the GoliardCarolers singing several holidayfavorites, featuring CathySchramm alto, Liz Thorne soprano,Kevin Courtemarche bass and Vic-tor Khodadad tenor.

Closing with ‘Silent Night’,our hosts John and Rita Mantonarose, the lights were dimmed,and the countdown to the treelighting began.

With a roar from the crowd, the40 foot blue spruce came to life.The crowd joined the carolers with‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’,followed by a blessing by ReverendHollmann of Christ LutheranChurch. The crowd was directed tothe intersection of Broadway and

58th Street for the dedication of our‘Welcome to Woodside’ illuminatedstreet sign, with the carolers singing‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’.

The ceremony was concludedwith a reception for all at the ChristLutheran Church Parish Hall, at thesame intersection, for holiday cheer.

WOODSIDE YOUTH TRAVEL ZIP CODE

by David Rosasco

Near the end of a most productive week-end for the youth of this community whoagain completed multiple projects acrossthe entire Woodside zip code, in the midst ofa final cleaning operation under 61 Streetand Roosevelt Avenue station on Sunday,November 29, Tommy Lehnert, local resi-dent who led the effort to restore the locationto pristine condition revealed “I see why theyouth love doing all the work they do, asthere’s a real sense of accomplishment aftereverything is completed”.

These are sentiments long established bythe youth who gathered as they ordinarily doon Saturday, November 28, to conduct awide-ranging cleaning operation that beganearly in the day for the fourth time in as many

weeks at 38th Avenue from 54th Street, re-trieving more of the garbage that has divertedmuch of the energy of the youth, then movingeast onto 39th Avenue at 57th Street, anotherlocation where the littering has tormented theyouth and this community, with MichaelMaye, 8th grade student at St. Sebastian Schooland one of the leaders, observed “We havebeen to these locations so many times, andthere is so much garbage here again, butwe’re here and we’ll handle it.”

The devotion to duty carried on throughthe day and into the evening, as the youthcontinued cleaning all the way to the east-ern border with Jackson Heights after mov-ing along 39th Avenue to Roosevelt Av-enue at 65th Street, then proceeding onto

72nd Street, thus completing the largestcleaning project in over 5 years across 20continuous blocks.

Sunday brought further travels through-out Woodside as more youth gathered toclean and remove graffiti along an ellipticalcircuit that began at 70th Street and 41st

Avenue towards 71St Street where the treesthey planted in prior work are location, thenheading south to 67th Street on the north sideof Queens Boulevard where another group-ing of trees they planted are location, bothareas cleaned of garbage and any graffiti inthe surrounding environment removed.

Incidentally, the youth have in essence,eliminated all graffiti at ground levelthroughout the entire Woodside zip code,

no small accomplishment and one whichtormented so many others in the years pre-ceding, but in the anticlimactic way theyouth have responded even when theyachieved multiple triumphs.

The youth ultimately reached 65th Placeand Laurel Hill Boulevard to restore fix-tures that were previously painted but hadfaded over time surrounding Winfield Me-morial Park while simultaneously cleaningthe park itself, retiring from the field havingsucceeded in so many projects, with DarrenWang, 9th grade student at Bronx HighSchool of Science stating “It never seemslike we did that much until the moment webegin heading back, and we see all the workdone behind us.”

The drizzling rain got the hair wetof fabulous Sunnyside Drum Corpsled by Tony Lana, but it also madethe streets glow with beautiful light.Many missed Luke Adams whowas the event engine, and GertMcDonald worried about DonMcCallian going in to the surgery,but good news was also abroad –that Sherilyn Jo Sabba’s son,Brayden, was born ThanksgivingDay at 5 lbs. 5 oz., a month prema-ture, but all family members, in-cluding his older brother Brody,happy and relieved.The younger Chamber Board mem-bers, VP Manny Gomez who madecocoa, and Secretary Melissa Or-lando who jumped in to organizethe event, stayed behind after car-oling at Bliss Plaza to hand out thecocoa and candy canes for twohours to kids, also assisted by JamesWilson, while others went to dineat Dazies for a prix fixe dinner withsinging from Mario Barreiro in-vited by Angel Gill Orrios, a glassof wine, cake and coffee.

President Rigo Cardoso ar-ranged the white-lit tree and snow-flake this year, and added a thirdcolorful new hanging decoration.Majority Leader Jimmy VanBramer words about the impor-tance of keeping our local tradi-tions were greeted warmly, as were

was the holiday welcome of As-semblywoman Marge Markey.

Father Joseph Jerome of AllSaints Church was the holy man,and he blessed all present and thosein need all over the world. Animmediate blessing was the arrivalof the 108 Community Affairs LuisDiaz and P.O. Peattie, accompa-nied by a police van so all couldnavigate the crisscross of streets

from Sabba to 46th. Tony Lana, oneof four former Chamber presidentsin attendance, including LilyGavin, Ira Greenberg, and BeckyBarker, had the Drum Corps leadthe crowd like a Pied Piper underthe elevated.

A delightful sight was FrancesSchmidt sipping wine, with friendOna Whitman. Marie Koneckotreated her grown children Rich-

ard and Debra to dinner, MarcLeavitt was his usual effervescentself, and Deirdre Feerick was look-ing glamorous. Braving the rainearlier were Joe and Mary AnnGurrado, Joe Conley, DebraMarkell Kleinert, KrisCzerniachowicz, ChristianMurray, Christina Amez, DonnaLawlor and James Ballek.

Local actor Joseph Pagano

was able to persuade SantaClaus to make an appearance.Before Mr. Claus commentedone way or the other on thelikelihood of wishes, he checkedhis book to see who had beennice. Luckily all children in-vestigated were mainly nice, aswas the wonderful 2015 holi-day celebration in this wonder-ful small town in the big city.
