Heavy Civil PenaltiesFor ‘Hit And Run’

Int-371, introduced by Major-ity Leader Van Bramer, will im-pose heavy civil penalties up to$5,000 on hit and run drivers inaccidents resulting in death.

“As we move forward towardsthe goal of achieving Vision Zero,one of the issues we must urgentlyaddress is that of people who fleethe scene of an accident,” said New

York City Council Majority LeaderJimmy Van Bramer, co-sponsor ofIntro. 371. “When someone in-volved in a hit-and-run collisionand leaves the scene without re-porting the incident, they are notonly breaking the law and evadingpotential prosecution for wrong-doing; they are also shirking theirmoral responsibility by blatantly

disregarding the wellbeing of oth-ers. When an injury occurs as aresult of a collision, the failure toreport the accident delays the re-sponse of emergency personal andcould be the difference betweenlife and death. With my bill I hopeto put an end to this serious crimein an effort to save lives and makeour streets safer for all.”

If It Would Help, I Can Bite The New Landlord!by Luke Adams

It took me almost 50 years tofind a dentist I could trust and didnot hurt me, and for the last 25 yearsI was more than content to be caredfor by doctors Arthur Kubikian andLouiza Puskulian. Now, the newproperty owner of their building, at43rd Street and Queens Boulevard,is not renewing the lease, resultingin our loss as grateful patients in oursmall town.

Prior to their care, I was wellknown and banned among dentistsof the tri-state area. One poor den-tist got a tooth imprint on his handand not the mold. One suggested Itry a veterinarian with proper re-straining equipment.

A quarter century ago, I firstslunk to his door, having been rec-ommended by Joe Sabba, of theWoodside Herald. The dental of-fice was then at 44-13 QueensBoulevard. On my second visit, Ihad not yet fully broken the gooddoctors in. As Dr. Kubikian ap-proached me, seated in the chair, Ilet out a yell, reportedly heard bythe people outside waiting at thebus stop. Dr. Kubikian was calm,

although slightly paler, and said,“Mr. Adams, I have not eventouched you.”

In another early visit, as I sat inthe chair, quietly, but twitching,with my eyes darting about look-ing for incoming drills and escapehatches, I finally got to him. Beinga wonderful doctor he did not yellat me or hit me with a mallet,which would have been justified,but he walked away from my chair.His wife, Dr. Puskilian, also awonderful dentist, took over.

These two dentists are two ofthe finest dentist. We all knowpeople from Manhattan and otherparts of the city who come to betreated by them. They are not onlygentle and cause no pain, but are themost skilled artistically in theirwork. They do not suggest treat-ments, which line their pockets, butalways suggest all options, which isin the patient’s best interest.

And to compound the loss ofthese two dentists, our small townin the big city seems to be losingour movie theatre, the Center Cin-ema, as well. The theater helpedbring business to our community.

Often you will see buses outside,because seniors on fixed budgetsthat travel here for the specials andchildren’s groups for parties. TheLions Club was treated well whenwe had our children parties. Thankyou, Center Cinema for having aheart as well as projectors.

And lastly, let me shed onemore tear for P.J. Horgan’s Pub,also a probable casualty, whichhas blessed this community formore over 50 years. Proprietor JohnMurphy is a gentleman, and al-ways kind and very generous tothis community. P.J. Horgan’s is agenuine Irish pub, with greatburgers, pub grub and beverages,is a draw to people from all overthe world. For many, it’s been formany our home away from home!We will lose a good friend!

I am not against landlords Ihave known many in the commu-nity that were and are still kind andrespected such as the landlord whenI had my travel agency across fromthe library, and the owners of thePhoenix House on the corner of 41Street & Queens Blvd. I will notforget their sadness when Butcher

Block and Bloom’s Restaurantburned down. I remember all thetenants going through the ashesand all the nice thing they saidabout their landlord.

I am sure there are other goodlandlords, but unfortunately highrents with the empty stores soonshow more of the other side of thestory. We are losing mom and popstores, and soon we will left withbig corporation pharmacies, banks,medical officers, discount storesand chain restaurants – businessesthat do enough business to affordthe big rents in new buildings. Ten-ants will move in because theycan’t afford anywhere else will notknow any better. If Queens’ his-tory is a guide, the residential partof the buildings will be apartmentswith low ceilings and small roomsas the developers fit as many apart-ments as they can into the building.The smaller adjacent businessesthat will do well at first from themany new people will soon begone, too, as property owners allcash out. Now people move toSunnyside because it is a “smalltown in the big city,” and those

qualities will soon be gone.As we lose these three trea-

sures, I am truly sad. I am afraid forour future. I understand everyoneowns property as a business, andhis or her payday has come. But aswe can see in other parts of Queens,many outsiders will make their mil-lions by ruining our community. Iguess I will be getting nasty lettersfrom landlords and commercial realestate people. Are any local realestate brokers making money, or isit all outsiders who live elsewhere?And to those buying and develop-ing your land, would you want thatbuilding right next to your house?Why not spend a few extra dollarsand build something YOU wouldwant to rent for your business orYOU would want to live in? Whynot build something that wouldwelcome back these same busi-nesses, but make use of the storiesabove to recoup your investment?

To Drs. Kubikian andPuskulian, to Center Cinema, andto John Murphy, thank you forrunning your businesses with loveand care and for being part ofSunnyside and enriching our lives.
