SCS 43-31 39th Street, Sunnyside

On September 23rd, New York City Council Majority Leader JimmyVan Bramer, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Transportation Commit-tee Chair Ydanis Rodriguez were joined by the mother of Luis Bravo – whowas killed by a hit-and-run driver – and members of Make Queens Saferto announce the passage of the “Justice for Hit-and-Run Victims Act.”

“I am proud to have sponsored Intro 371, the Justice for Hit and RunVictims Act,” said Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer. “This bill willestablish civil penalties of up to $10,000 for fleeing the scene of acollision. I was moved to introduce this bill in response to the death ofthree people who were killed in my district by drivers who fled the scene.Luis Bravo, 19, Kumar Ragunath, 64, and Karen Pheras, 20, all lost theirlives because of the unconscionable actions of reckless drivers whoshowed no concern for lives of these three people. We will never knowif one or all of them could have been saved had the drivers done the rightthing: stopped their car and called 911.”

The civil penalties set forth in this bill will not bring back the life ofLuis Bravo, or Karen Pheras, or Kumar Ragunath, but they will punish thecrass actions of those who commit these crimes. This bill will save livesby deterring those who would even think of fleeing the scene of a collisionand leave a fellow New Yorker to die in the street. We will not rest untilwe achieve vision zero. This law brings us one step closer to that day.

Martha Puruncajas, Mr. Bravo’s mother, spoke about her personalexperiences since losing her only son as well as enlisted the public’s helpin finding her son’s killer. The passage of the groundbreaking legislationout of committee comes five days before the one-year anniversary ofLuis Bravo’s death on September 28th, 2013. Ms. Puruncajas andCouncil Member Van Bramer will be available to speak after the Pre-Stated press conference.

The Justice for Hit-and-Run Victims Act, sponsored by CouncilMembers Van Bramer and Rodriguez, will establish civil penalties to beissued when a driver violates the provisions of State law. Under the bill,those who leave the scene of an incident without taking action required bylaw would be subject to pay a civil penalty of up to $500 if property damageresults from the incident; $1,000 to $2,000 if a person is injured; $2,000 to$10,000 if there is serious injury; and $5,000 to $10,000 if death results.

Healthy Relationships,Healthy Families

The past couple of weeks I havebeen deeply troubled and heartbro-ken by the news of Domestic Vio-lence that has occurred from our topathletes in the National FootballLeague. Violence has no place in ourcommunity, but when violence entersour home it contributes to the break-down of the relationship, safety, com-fort and a healthy family. I give mydeepest sympathies to the recentwomen of the NFL and to the millionsof women whose struggles lie in dark-ness and endure violence at the handsof their husbands and boyfriends.

Over 20 years ago, Congresspassed the Violence Against WomenAct. While much progress has beenmade towards reducing violenceagainst women, today 1 in 3 womenhave experienced physical violenceby an intimate partner. Womenshould not have to live in fear. It isimportant for women to recognizethe signs of abuse early which caninclude emotional abuse, intimida-tion and isolation from friends andfamily and of course physical. Do-mestic Violence wreaks havoc notonly on the lives of women, but causesproblems for the children and canunfortunately lead to violent behav-ior being mimicked later in life. Asyour New York State Senator, I along

with my colleagues are fighting toensure the passage of the Women’sEquality Act as well as numerousbills to provide increased protectionto abused and battered women.

As a husband, father and son, Iknow the importance of family. Thetopic of Domestic Violence is espe-cially important to me because I knowloved ones who have struggled in anabusive relationship. Whether ornot we are in an abusive relationshipourselves, domestic violence affectsall of our lives. Every family isaffected by the epidemic of domes-tic violence or a hardship that weneed to battle and overcome. Do-mestic Violence is a very sensitivesubject and many women may fearfor their own safety as well as thesafety of their children. DomesticViolence and the cycle of abuse mayalienate a woman and make her feeluncomfortable talking about her lifeto friends and loved ones. If you orsomeone you love is in an abusiverelationship, I encourage you to gethelp. There are many great localresources, as well as resourcesthroughout the state of New Yorkthat work to provide counseling andsupport services to women and chil-dren that I have included below. Totruly end Domestic Violence, I en-

courage all men and women to takea stand together to teach our sons anddaughters that violence is never ananswer when resolving conflicts.

Long Island City Business Women

LIC Business Women held their monthly meeting last week todiscuss issues related to Western Queens.

Special thanks to Captain Hennessy and Officer Luis Santiago ofthe 108th Police Precinct in leading a self-defense class to discusstechniques on how women can better protect themselves.

Charter School Tour

Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan and Chancellor Carmen Fa-rina recently toured Voice Charter School in Long Island City,Queens. They met with students, teachers and staff to see the wonder-ful programs the school has to offer.

Astoria Library In Full Bloom

Queens Library at Astoria has one of the nicest gardens around,thanks to student volunteers from Young Women’s Leadership Schoolof Astoria. Under the leadership of Marlena Nadler, about a dozenstudents gave back to the community by helping to care for andbeautify the library and the neighborhood.

Students planted seeds, trees, plants, and weeded. Students alsowatered the already existing plants and newly planted ones. Whenthey noticed that the tomatoes and other plants needed support in theelevated beds of the Shakespeare Garden, they constructed little plantsupports using the materials found in the garden shed.

Students worked 2 hours a week every week this summer, beginningJune 30 and ending August 28, about 20 hours each. They are hoping tomake it a school club so they can continue the great work they did here.It probably was around 20 hours of work that they put in this summer.

Ms. Nadler volunteered her time this summer to supervise theproject. A handful of students were interested in the opportunity tospend some summer time outside, with friends and giving back to thecommunity in a fun and relaxing way. The students in other grades orfrom other schools heard about it through word-of-mouth and joinedfor the same reasons. She says, “They’re really an excellent group ofnature-loving individuals who recognize community responsibilityand have strong spirits of volunteerism.”

The law would take effectninety days after the Mayor signsthe bill into law. The passage ofthis much-needed legislation outof committee comes six days be-fore the one-year anniversary ofLuis Bravo’s death on September28th, 2013. Council Member VanBramer introduced the legislationafter Mr. Bravo was killed onBroadway in Woodside, Queensby a hit-and-run driver.

“Today the City Council took afirm stand against hit and run driv-ers by adding civil penalties to thishorrific crime,” said Council Mem-ber Ydanis Rodriguez. “The ‘Jus-tice for Hit and Run Victims Act’will undoubtedly save hundreds oflives per year by forcing drivers tothink twice before they coldheart-edly leave the scene of an accident.I vote today in memory of my fallenfriend Josbel Rivera who died onMosholu Parkway in 2012 and allvictims of this inhumane crime.”

“Council Member VanBramer’s “Justice for Hit and RunVictims Act” will help bring an-swers and resolution to peopleimpacted by traffic crashes. In thestrongest ways, it compels driversto stay at the scene of a collisionand provide information to lawenforcement officials. In the Vi-sion Zero era, this level of coop-eration is a moral necessity in ourcollective effort to eliminate traf-fic deaths and serious injuries inNew York City,” says Paul SteelyWhite, Executive Director ofTransportation Alternatives. “Hit-ting someone with a car and thenfleeing the scene is one of the mostheinous crimes. Hit-and-run driv-ers leave victims exposed and with-out treatment in the street, theyleave investigators without key

information, and they leave fami-lies feeling that they have beendenied closure. This bill will helpdeliver aid and justice to crashvictims as quickly as possible, anddeter reckless driving and preventcrashes in the first place.”

Council Member Van Brameralso honored representatives fromMake Queens Safer with a Procla-mation on behalf of the New YorkCity Council during the monthlyStated Meeting. Working with

Council Member Van Bramer’sofficer the Queens based transpor-tation advocacy group has helpraised awareness by effectivelyencouraging increased enforce-ment of traffic laws, safety-mindedstreet design, and deterring the ac-tions of reckless drivers.

Make Queens Safer was foundedin response to the plight of injuriesand fatalities which have befallenfar too many victims of automobilecollisions and reckless driving.

Snowday Food Truck

The Snowday Food Truck served delicious, maple-themed lunches —everything from maple grilled cheese sandwiches, seasonal salads, beer-battedmaple onion rings, and maple apple cupcakes outside the Clock Tower Buildingin Long Island City on Thursday, September 18th.

Snowday is a farm-to-truck experience which is often called “a vehicle for socialjustice.” About 90 percent of the delectables are made with ingredients sourced fromNew York State and local urban farms. Second, the truck is operated by Drive Change,a nonprofit that trains and employs formerly incarcerated youth.

New Title For FormerBoxing Showground

A Sunnyside street corner now recallsthe former site of a storied sports venue thatonce hosted boxing matches, wrestling com-petitions, roller derbies, proms, and even apresidential rally. Last Saturday, 45th Streetand Queens Boulevard was officially co-named “Sunnyside Garden Arena Way” in aceremony led by City Council MemberJimmy Van Bramer, Ring 8 President BobDuffy, Barclays Center announcer DaveDiamante and local residents.

It is believed that the 2,000-seat, redbrick arena was originally built as aprivate tennis club or the carriage housefor millionaire Jay Gould II in the 1920s.

The venue became a boxing arena in1945, and hosted Golden Gloves tourna-ments and fights with such big names asFloyd Patterson and Gerry Cooney. In1960, Senator John F. Kennedy gave astump speech there during his successfulrun for the president of the United States.The arena also hosted wrestling cardsuntil it was sold in 1977 and torn down.Currently, a Wendy’s restaurant oper-ates on the property.

This is actually the second honor forthe arena, as a monument to it was in-stalled on the property near the Wendy’sin October 2012.

Council Member Van Bramer stands with Duffy and Diamante after the unveiling.

The Editor

Former District Manager, Com-munity Board 2 dies from cancer.Dolores Rizzotto, the former Dis-trict Manager for Community Board2 was an amazing woman. Shefought the good fight against can-cer and sadly passed away in thepresence of her son, Robert, and hercompanion, Daniel Grayson, at herside. Dolores served the City ofNew York in many capacities butnone so important as her role in ourcommunity as district manager ofCommunity Board # 2 (Sunnyside -Woodside). She worked tirelesslyto improve the quality of life for somany. Dolores confronted every is-sue with a sense of fairness andalways did what was best for hercommunity, even when it seemedunpopular. She will be sorely missedfor her wisdom, compassion, fair-ness, sense of humor and leader-ship. Dolores was a true friend to alland an expert in helping so many.She made many friends during herover 30 year career with the cityand considered all that she workedwith an extension of her family.And we were lucky to be part of heramazing family.

She was a life-long resident ofCorona, NY and retired to WestPalm Beach eight years ago andloved every minute of it. Althoughshe retired, she did not retire hercommunity organizational andleadership skills. Dolores was veryactive in her new community andvolunteered for many projects, in-cluding volunteer work in localpolitician’s office and when shewas offered a job there, she re-plied: “I’m retired. I will come inwhen I feel like it.” That was herspirit. She is the loving mother ofMichael & Robert and dearmother-in-law of Vivian. Adoringnana of Anthony and Thomas –her Mushies - that could do nowrong. Beloved sister and sister-in-law of Aniceto John andMaureen Serrone of Flemington,NJ. Dolores is also survived bymany loving nieces, nephews,cousins, god-child and her dearcompanion, Daniel Grayson.

Do not be sad but take greatcomfort that Dolores is amongstthe angels in heaven, most likelysetting up committees and finding abetter way of doing things!

HelicoptersOverhead

Dear Editor,I am writing this letter to call

attention to a long-standing prob-lem in the Woodside community.All too often the residents of 48thand 50th Avenues, along 44th to47th streets are awakened to thesounds of helicopters hoveringoverhead. This noise starts at about5:00 A.M. and continues for anhour. I understand they are prob-ably compiling traffic reports butthere is no need to wake up anentire neighborhood while doingso. A few weeks ago you printedan article about the need to sound-proof a school in Astoria where thestudents were bothered by the el-

Regarding 43rd StDear Editor:

I have great respect for Coun-cil Majority Leader Van Bramer aswell as all members of the FNDY,who risk their lives every day forthe citizens of NYC. My knee-jerkreaction is to rubber stamp anyrequest these everyday heroesmake. However, Council MemberVan Bramer has more knowledgeof this matter than I do, so I’ll deferto his opinion. However, I’m notso sure about the “community lead-ers” who expressed concerns about

letting the FDNY purchase the fa-cility. I’ll bet I know more aboutthis neighborhood than the “com-munity leaders,” whoever they are.I’ve lived in Woodside most of mylife, and even watched the play-ground being built in the mid1950’s. If the FDNY would agreeto have the vehicles they plan tostore at the facility approach from,and leave to, the North (thinkNorthern Blvd) there would zeropossibility of endangering any chil-dren or senior citizens. I can assureyou, no child, no senior citizen, noranyone else for that matter, has aneed to be in the street north ofSkillman Avenue. People cross43rd Street at the corner at SkillmanAvenue. There are absolutely noprivate residences on the West sideof 43rd Street, and the FDNY ve-hicles would only be passing oneprivate residence on the East side.If the FDNY has not found a suit-able site yet, I hope everyone willreconsider.

Thank you.Paul Slapikas

evated subway line nearby.We all own alarm clocks, and

therefore do not need to be awak-ened by these helicopters at suchan early hour of the morning. Letus by all means work at sound-proofing our schools, but at thesame time, work to preserve thepeace and quiet of our neighbor-hoods.

Although they are looking forward to thestart of the fall season, the Scouts have notbeen idle this summer. Coming off their firstplace victory in April at the 2014 EmergencyPreparedness Camp-O-Ree at Camp WilliamPouch in Staten Island (hosted by Scoutmas-ter Jorge Yengle of Troop 349 and his staffErnie Walter, Fred Pagan, and James Maxim),which was Troop 390’s first official overallfirst place finish at a District competitiveweek-end event since it re-chartered in 2006,the Troop has been “outdoor active”. At thebeginning of June the boys, their leaders andeven one parent humped all their gear on thesubway and ferry then began a five mile trekfrom the St. George’s Ferry Terminal over toCamp Pouch. Neither rain nor the temptationof the city buses running along Victory Bou-levard were enough to stop these hikers fromtheir trek and the activities awaiting them ontheir arrival. In July, after a successful yearend Parents Night/Awards Ceremony, the

(continued from front page)

Summer Successboys and a few select friends and familymembers traveled for a third time to theCounty of Richmond this time to watch theStaten Island Yankees succeed in securingvictory (7-1) over the Jamestown Jammersduring the SI Yankees first of two ScoutNights this summer. After running the basesand watching a fireworks show the boys (anda few girls) then either watched the LegoMovie, played wiffle ball (with Cub Pack 390who also attended the game) or soccer into thewee hours of the morning (literally!). A fewstalwarts even stayed up through the night towatch the sunrise come up over Brooklyn andManhattan and light up the cityscape andHudson River, truly a wonderful sight to see.After the SI Yankee trip it was all aboutpreparing for summer camp at the GreaterNew York Councils Ten Mile River ScoutReservation. For 10 of the boys, half of whichwere attending long-term camp for the firsttime, it was one to two weeks of cooking onshepherd stoves, swimming at six AM (forthose who dared), merit badge classes ineverything from Pottery and Art to Wilder-ness Survival and Pioneering as well as at-tending ice cream socials (hosted by the Or-der of the Arrow Service Society), Bar-Be-Ques and campfire events. Many of the firsttime scouts were the most enthusiastic as theweek progressed and four completed the NewCamper Orientation Program and earned theirnew camper’s beads (Donovan W., TenzingW., Dean H., and Chris Min.). In all the boyscompleted 25 merit badges and earned par-tials in almost 50 others. Now that they havehad the initial experience the newer scoutscan’t wait until next year to refine their camp-ing skills and accomplish even more.

When will you come and join Troop 390(or a Troop local to you) in all the fun andexcitement of Scouting? It’s all waiting foryou Friday nights in the auditorium at St.Teresa RC Church. Be Prepared (to have agreat time)!

The members of Troop and Pack 390 and a few select special friends (“32” in the house!) posebefore the 390 foot marker in the outfield of Richmond County Bank Stadium after another funfilled Staten Island Yankees Scout Overnight Event.

The Troop 390 stands before their site gateway prior the start of Pathfinder District EmergencyPreparedness Camp-O-Ree at Camp William Pouch in Staten Island. The Flaming Griffins, evenwith a number of relatively new members, were able to place in six of the nine events and tookfirst place overall in the competition (L to R- Eddie A., Sean L., Chanapon T., Daniel L., ChrisMin., Tenzing W., PL Hongying H., APL Kevin F., ASM Chris F., SPL Rennie S., SM Ed Avila Sr.).

Not even a mid-day rain would stop the hikers of Troop 390 from getting to their campgroundduring their 5-mile trek through Staten Island to Camp Pouch (with their gear!- well at least twothirds of the way; thanks Greg for saving the equipment from a soaking).
