GIANARIS BLASTS 2006CON EDISON SETTLEMENT DEALPace University Report Proves Community Under Compensated

Statement by Assembly Member Mike Gianaris, regarding a recent study by Pace University thatfound Consolidated Edison paid for less than a tenth of damages to residents and business that wereaffected by the July 2006 blackout in Western Queens.

The power outage affected 174,000 people and created about $188 million in damages, according tothe study. Gianaris is the leading advocate for the reform of Con Edison and was one of the first electedofficials to oppose the settlement as inadequate.

“This study proves what our community has known for the last four years. The deal made with ConEdison severely under compensated us for damages caused by the blackout,” stated AssemblymanMichael Gianaris (D-Queens). “The only way to avoid continuing abuses in the future is to dramaticallyreform Con Edison once and for all.”

“STOP AND FRISK” LEGISLATIONCity Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following in re-

sponse to questions about A.11177-A/S.7945-A, or the “Stopand Frisk” legislation.

“In our free society, there is simply no justification for the policeto keep such a massive database of millions of individuals who haven’tdone anything wrong. The shame of it is that 90 percent of the innocentpeople in this database are people of color.”

Comptroller Liu commended Governor David Paterson for sign-ing the bill into law and thanked Assemblymember Hakeem Jeffriesand Senator Eric Adams for passing the legislation.

New scanning system will replace oldlever voting machines at all polling placesstarting with September Primary Election Day.

When citizens go to the polls on thenext Election Day in September, they willfind that the clunky old lever machines aregone and they will instead mark their voteson a paper ballot that is run through ascanner to be recorded.

It’s a new era for voting in New YorkCity so to familiarize Queens voters with thenew system, Assemblywoman MargaretMarkey has arranged for the New York CityBoard of Elections to conduct an open pub-lic demonstration of the new system at sev-eral Queens Public Library branches overthe next few weeks.

Voters will have a new way to cast theirballot this fall and I invite everyone to stop by their local library branch to try out this newsystem said Assemblywoman Markey.

The demonstrations will take place between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. at the followinglocations: Wednesday, July 28, Broadway Branch Library, 40-20 Broadway, Long IslandCity; Wednesday, August 11, Maspeth Branch Library, 69-61 Grand Avenue; and Wednes-day, August 18, Woodside Branch Library, 54-22 Skillman Avenue.

The change is a result of the federal Help American Vote Act which mandated thatvoters in New York State must have new voting machines this year. The new systemelectronically records your vote from a paper ballot that you mark. Take this opportunityto see and use the new voting system that will be the new standard for all future electionsin New York City, and be sure to exertcise your right to vote this fall, added Assembly-woman Markey.

Margaret Markey and visitor try out new votescanner at New York City Board of Elections crewdemonstrated the new system that will replace theold lever machines that will be in use throughoutNew York state for all future elections startingwith the upcoming September 14th primary day.

LaGuardia Community College dietetictechnician students are doing their part toeducate low-income residents in Queens onthe importance of good nutrition by con-ducting food demonstrations and nutritionworkshops at three farmers markets inAstoria, Elmhurst and Jamaica.

Throughout the summer, some 14 stu-dents will set up shop at the AstoriaGreenmarket on 14th Street between 31stAvenue and 31st Road on Wednesdays; theJamaica Farmers’ Market on 160th Street onFridays; and the Elmhurst Greenmarket on80th Street and 41st Avenue on Tuesdays.There they will show neighborhood shop-pers how they can improve their diets bybuying fresh fruits and vegetables that havebeen grown by local farmers. For the kidswho are in tow, the students lead them ingames and exercises.

The program also answers First LadyMichelle Obama’s call to eliminate urbanfood deserts, those low-income neighbor-hoods that do not provide residents withcheaper, healthier food options. Queens’farmers market managers have noted thatthey have seen increased sales of fruits andvegetables that were featured in the stu-dents’ demonstrations and recipes.

Sponsoring the students’ service-basedlearning fieldwork is the Cornell University

Cooperative Extension’s Farmers MarketNutrition Education Program. The missionof the program is to provide education thatpromotes, strengthens and guides the adop-tion of healthy behaviors to enhance thewellness of individuals, families and com-munities. This is the tenth year thatLaGuardia students are participating in thesummer program.

On a typical day at the markets, thestudents will be busy putting on hot and coldfood demonstrations that show curious shop-pers how to prepare the just-picked fruitsand vegetables that were donated by thefarmers. Shoppers observe the students pre-paring the food, get a chance to sample thedish and take home the recipe.

Also conducted are mini-nutrition les-sons where the students encourage partici-pants to share their thoughts on the benefitsof consuming fresh, seasonal produce. “Wedo not want the students to lecture to theresidents,” said Professor Cohen who addedthat the free and easy dialogue leads todiscussions on weight loss, diabetes andhigh blood pressure, and how eating freshfruits and vegetables can alleviate theseproblems.”

CONSOLIDATED EDISON SUPPORTS WOODSIDE ON THE MOVE

Navigating Your Way through the Investment WorldYou may not realize it, but July

24 is Amelia Earhart Day. July 24was chosen because it’s the birthdayof perhaps the most famous femaleaviator in history. Earhart’s storyended tragically when she becamelost in the Pacific Ocean in 1937 onher voyage around the world, butshe is still celebrated for her braveryand pioneer spirit.

As an investor, you can learn alot from Earhart’s career. Here are afew lessons to consider:

Plan ahead. After a lengthyanalysis of Earhart’s final flight,decades after it occurred, a notedaviation expert came to one succinctconclusion: “poor planning, worseexecution.” Yet on her successfulflights, Earhart was known to haveproduced, and followed, detailedflight plans. As an investor, you,too, must plan your journey towardyour financial goals. First, you needto identify your destination, such asa comfortable retirement. Next, youmust create a “map” to reach yourgoal, in the form of a detailed finan-cial strategy based on an investmentportfolio tailored to your risk toler-ance and time horizon. And alongthe way, you must chart yourprogress via regular reviews of your

investments’ performance.Use the right “tools.” Some

sources have noted that, on the fate-ful flight, Earhart did not appear tofully understand how to use herplane’s direction-finding loop an-tenna, which at the time was a newtechnology. If you don’t fully un-derstand the “tools” — that is, theinvestments — you need to helpachieve your goals, you may runinto difficulties. Always know ex-actly what you’re investing in andwhy you’ve chosen those specificinvestments. Without this informa-tion, you could end up with invest-ments that are either too risky foryour comfort or too conservative foryour goals.

Follow your vision. On the daythey disappeared, Earhart and hernavigator, Fred Noonan, were sched-uled to land on Howland Island.Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day;some researchers speculate that theclouds’ dark shadows on the oceansurface may have camouflagedHowland and confused the aviators.As an investor, you need a clearview of what you want to accom-plish in the long term — and youneed to avoid having your vision“clouded over” by short-term events

such as price drops and recessions.Put sufficient “power” in your

portfolio. Many aviation scholarsand researchers believe Earhart’splane simply ran out of gas beforeshe could land on Howland Island.Does you portfolio have sufficient“fuel” to help you go the distance?Specifically, do you have the rightmix of growth- and income-ori-ented vehicles to power you to-ward college for your kids, a com-fortable retirement and your othergoals? If you’re not sure, you maywant to work with a professionalfinancial advisor to get the assis-tance you need.

You probably will never try tocircumnavigate the globe in a smallplane. But if you can emulate thebest features of Amelia Earhart —such as her courage, perseveranceand faith in the future — while tak-ing steps to help focus on what youcan control, your investment jour-ney may be rewarding.

CLOSED WEDNESDAY

WE NOW ACCEPT MOST UNION PLANS & INSURANCE

recognition bestowed by individual Districts annually, was presented to Laurie AliceHandler, the Pathfinder Assistant District Commissioner, for outstanding service at theDistrict level for many years.

The first award of the night was presented to one of Sunnyside / Woodside’s own.Scoutmaster Eduardo Avila of the recently resurrected Boy Scout Troop 390, which ischartered by Saint Teresa’s R.C. Church in connection with the John V. Daniels VFW Post# 2813, received the District’s Unit Leader Award. Eduardo, a 19-year veteran with the BoyScouts (as a youth and adult leader- all with the former and restarted Troop 390), re-startedthe Troop several years ago with a few friends and colleagues. At the time the Eastern LIC/ Sunnyside / Western Woodside areas were without any Boy Scout/Cub pack units foraround 5 years following the closing of Troop 172 after 72 years in 2001 (Troop 390 hadfolded a year or two earlier). Scoutmaster Avila and his staff have since (over the last 3 Ωyears) created a vibrant traditional Scouting unit with current enrollment at about 30 youthmembers, a majority of which are of Latino/Hispanic and lower income backgrounds,strong year to year retention, and took the challenge of planning and running this past year’sDistrict Camp-O-Ree, a week-end long competitive event traditionally serving over 100boys, despite the Troop members younger ages and inexperience. The Troop is beinglooked at as well in an attempt to ascertain its success with the current population it serveswith the hope of modeling best practices for use in other areas. On hand to congratulate“Eddie” or “Mr. Avila” as he is alternately known by the staff and boys, were his motherMaria, and several members of the Troop/Pack staff and friends.

A wonderful night of fellowship and camaraderie was completed by a delicious buffetdinner, a 100th Anniversary cake (from the bakery of one of the volunteer leaders), dancing,and raffle prizes.

LOCAL SCOUT LEADER HONOREDBy Peter Ross

Gordon Bennett threatens not to give Eduardo Avila his Unit Leader award unless Edruns next year’s Camp-O-Ree again (Just kiddling!) as Bill Kiernan looks on.

YOU CAN’T GO WRONGWant to see homes that are exactly what you can afford? Want

the best possible terms for your mortgage? Want to show sellersthat you’re serious and capable? Then start with pre-approval, fromseveral lenders.

Forget about “pre-qualification” – that’s just a quick ballpark figurethe banks will offer without even checking your credit history. “Pre-approval,” on the other hand, produces a Good Faith Estimate, whichspells out the terms of your loan, like interest rate, loan type (fixed rate,adjustable, etc.), and closing costs.

You’ll have to provide documentation (bank statements,paystubs, W-2’s, ect) and the lender will check your credit report,but this extra work will give you a much firmer idea of what you canafford, as well as give you a powerful tool for making an offer andnegotiating your purchase.

If you’re serious about maximizing your investment, don’t get justone letter of pre-approval. Apply with several lenders, because littlethings like the interest rate can make a huge difference when it comesto such a large amount. Don’t just accept the first offer. Make the bankscompete, and you could save thousands by comparing their terms.

Banks won’t guarantee the loan until you’ve made an offer and theappraisal and title work have been approved, but you can’t go wrong bydoing your loan search before your home search.
