Congressman Crowley Hosts Annual
Italian Heritage Month Celebration
(Continued from page 1)
On Monday, October 5, Rep.
Joe Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx),
Vice Chair of the Democratic
Caucus, along with special guest
NYS Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr.
(D-Howard Beach), celebrated
Italian Heritage Month with the
Bronx-Queens community at F &
J Pine Restaurant in Morris Park.
Addabbo delivered the evening’s
keynote address during the annual reception which brings the
community together to celebrate
the extraordinary contributions
of Italian-Americans to our history and culture. Crowley also
recognized two local leaders who
have dedicated their lives to public service. This year’s honorees
included retired NYPD Detective
Victor DiPierro, of the Bronx and
Leonardo da Vinci Intermediate
School 61 Principal Joseph Lisa,
of Queens.
“As we pause each year to
reflect upon the important role
Italian-Americans have played
in our history, it gives me great
pleasure to recognize a few leaders in our own community who
have made and continue to make
a significant difference in the lives
of our family, friends and neighbors,” said Rep. Crowley. “Senator
Addabbo is a great example of how
Italian-Americans have strengthened our society and I applaud his
commitment to public service. I’m
especially proud to have him as
this year’s special guest.”
“As a proud Italian-American, I
appreciate the efforts of my friend,
Congressman Joe Crowley, for
taking the time each year to acknowledge the contributions and
work of other Italian-Americans
and their culture,” said Senator
Addabbo.
“I would like to express my
gratitude to Congressman Crowley for this special acknowledgement,” said Detective DiPierro.
“And I would like to dedicate this
recognition to my late parents.
Because of them, I grew up a
very proud Italian-American and
carried that pride with me during
my 20-year career in the NYPD.
Now as a father, I pass along to
my son the traditions and values
I had growing up in an Italian
household.”
“It is an honor that Congressman Crowley has recognized my-
self and the great things we have
achieved at our school,” said Mr.
Lisa. “Congressman Crowley has
been an advocate for our children
and receiving this award complements all the hard work that our
students, teachers and parents
have put into our school to support
the Corona community.”
“The work of tonight’s honorees
demonstrate how Italian-Americans, many of whom immigrated
here over a century ago seeking
better opportunities for themselves and their families, have become woven into our rich cultural
fabric,” continued Crowley.
NYS Assemblymen Mark
Gjonaj, Michael Benedetto and
Michael DenDekker, and NYC
Council Member James Vacca,
also joined Crowley at the event
which drew over 200 guests.
Congressman Crowley is the
nine-term representative from
the 14th Congressional District
of New York, which includes sections of Queens and the Bronx. He
is a member of the powerful Ways
and Means Committee and serves
as Vice Chair of the Democratic
Caucus in the House of Representatives.

State Senator Jose Peralta (DEast Elmhurst) today recognized
the first annual Organ Donor
Enrollment Day organized by
LiveOnNY and unveiled a bill to
expand public medical assistance
for kidney transplants to include
undocumented New Yorkers. The
bill, S.6056A, was introduced in
the State Senate. Currently, some
undocumented New Yorkers receive biweekly emergency dialysis treatment at medical facilities
across the State, as is mandated
for hospitals that receive Medicare
funding. However, undocumented
New Yorkers with end-stage renal
disease are not eligible for public
coverage for kidney transplants.
At the present time, only Illinois extends this care to undocumented immigrants. “It is time
for New York State to become a
national leader on this issue,” said
Senator Peralta. “Morally, this is
the right thing to do, and financially this is the right thing to
do,” he added. “After the first year
following a kidney transplant, its
annual cost is only a third of the
cost of regular dialysis treatment.”
The bill would require that
an undocumented New Yorker
undergo two years of emergency
dialysis treatment in New York
in order to qualify for the kidney
transplant.
According to a study statistics
by the Division of Nephrology
of Elmhurst Hospital, a medical
facility located in the Senator’s
district, paying for a kidney transplant could translate into savings
of $321,000 for each patient,
based on a typical life expectancy
of eight years for a person undergoing dialysis treatment. The
study “Kidney Transplantation
in Undocumented Immigrants
with ESR D (end-stage renal
disease): A Policy Whose Time
has Come?” notes that Medicare
spends about $110,000 for a kidney transplant and the first year of
follow-up care. The study further
states that after the first year following transplantation, Medicare
typically spends $27,000 per year,
per patient for medication that
prevents the body’s rejection of
a new organ. According to the
United States Renal Data System,
Medicare spends an average of
$72,000 per patient receiving
dialysis.
“LiveOnNY commends State
Senator Jose Peralta’s efforts
to advance organ donation and
transplantation efforts that address the health needs of all state
residents, including equal access
to transplant services in order
to save more lives,” said Helen
Irving, President and CEO of

Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito & CM Jimmy Van Bramer
Announce $3.2 Million Cultural Immigrant Initiative
Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito
and Majority Leader Jimmy Van
Bramer announced $3,187,500
in funding for over 77 cultural
groups across the city through the
New York City Council Cultural
Immigrant Initiative.
“Immigrant experiences are
central to the fabric and history
of New York City and today, over
three million foreign-born New
Yorkers from all over the world
call this city home,” said New
York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. “Cultural
expression through art, music,
dance, and more celebrates this
vibrant diversity of experiences
and stories – and allows us to share
and appreciate that diversity together. The New York City Council Cultural Immigrant Initiative
will provide local organizations
the resources they need to keep
these traditions alive in our communities.”
“This year we have literally
doubled down on the success of
the Cultural Immigrant Initiative,”
said Majority Leader and Cultural
Affairs Chair Jimmy Van Bramer.
“By increasing funding streams
to immigrant organizations and
cultural groups that are often
overlooked in the cultural funding
process we are empowering more
New Yorkers and increasing access to the arts in every neighborhood. Everyone in every corner
of our City, regardless of their
economic or ethnic background
is entitled to world class culture
that makes our City great. This
$3.2 million is a commitment to
our City’s immigrant communities and the renowned cultural
groups that make New York City
the Cultural Capital of the World.”
The New York City Council
allocated $3,187,500 in the Fiscal Year 2016 budget to support
cultural organizations providing
programming focused on the cultural history and traditions of immigrant communities in New York
City, and to increase access to
unique cultural offerings centered
on immigrant heritages. A list of
organizations funded through the
Cultural Immigrant Initiative can
be viewed here.
“This Council recognizes the
integral role immigrants play in
the vibrancy and success of New
York City, and we are committed
to providing them with valuable
experiences that allow them to
identify as New Yorkers. The
Immigrant Cultural Initiative provides residents of this City, regardless of their ethnic background,
with an opportunity to enjoy and
understand the full range of arts
and culture this city has to offer,”
said Finance Committee Chair
Julissa Ferreras.

Planning That Affordable Holiday Trip By Nathaniel Sillin
Are you an advance planner or
an improviser? Your travel planning style might save you money
during the busy winter holiday
travel season.
Generally, families with children
and a need for specific seating and
direct flights may need to plan
earlier to secure such reservations.
More flexible travelers can roll the
dice on last-minute deals.
Here are some ideas to explore:
Be open-minded about scheduling. Most people know red-eye
and dawn f lights are typically
cheaper. However, holiday travel
presents its own set of opportunities for pricing and availability
if you don’t follow the crowd.
For example, with Thanksgiving
always on a Thursday, most travelers choose Tuesday or Wednesday
for arrival and Sunday for departure. Choosing a different scheduling window, including travel
on the actual holiday, may not
only save money but considerable
stress getting to and from clogged
airport, train and bus stations.
Drive smart or leave the keys
at home. If you’re using your
own automobile, make sure your
collision and liability coverage
are adequate to cover potential
medical and repair costs for other
motorists if you’re in an accident
out of town. If you’re planning to
rent a vehicle, speak with your
auto insurance agent before you
go. Many personal policies do
extend domestic collision and liability coverage to rentals, but it’s
particularly important to confirm
coverage if you’re traveling out-
side the United States. Of course,
if you’re visiting a place with
excellent public transportation or
safe bike routes, check pricing. An
affordable bike rental (pack a helmet) or multi-day city or regional
bus-and-rail pass might eliminate
the need for a car altogether.
Sleep cheap. Saving money on
accommodations is another area
where you can save significant
dollars by either planning significantly ahead or trolling for
last-minute bargains. Top family
destinations generally require reservations months in advance, but
see how full they are closest to the
actual holiday dates. Many family members may travel a week
before or a week after the actual
holiday but won’t stay over the
holiday. That leaves more rooms
and activities available. The same
goes for stays in other popular
tourist locations around the world.
Check destination hotels closer to
the date to see if they’re offering
special rates or packages.
Put your membership dollars
to work. If you belong to an auto
club or have credit cards with
particular travel benefits, see
whether any of those benefits
– from actual mileage points to
coupon discounts – can be used
to save money.
Check your home, health and
business insurance. If you are
traveling domestically or globally,
see if your personal health insurance extends to your destination.
The same goes for home/rental
and business insurance. Many
people don’t realize that some or
all of their personal insurance coverage may cover medical, theft,
liability, injury and other risks at
their destination. Read your policy
and confirm your assumptions
with your agent.
Consider travel insurance to fill
any gaps. Once you’ve confirmed
the limits of your personal coverage, research travel insurance
policy sites (http://www.insuremytrip.com) and recent articles
on travel insurance so you can
make sure common risks like
trip cancellation and lost luggage
are covered as well as specialized
risks like advanced medical care
and medical transportation at your
destination.
Watch those bags. Many airlines charge ascending fees for
every checked bag, so packing
light has never made more sense.
However, major air and ground
shipping companies are now offering luggage-shipping services
for domestic and overseas travelers with pickup options at their
ground facilities. Make a call and
see if this option makes sense,
particularly if you take extra
clothes or gifts with you at the
holidays.
Bottom line: Holiday travel
bargains can be found months
in advance and sometimes at the
last minute. Your flexibility will
determine the deals you can get.

Vice Chair Crowley Statement on September Jobs Report
Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,
the Bronx), Vice Chair of the
Democratic Caucus, issued the
following statement on the Department of Labor’s September
jobs report, which found that the
economy added 142,000 jobs and
the unemployment rate remained
at 5.1 percent, its lowest level since
early 2008:
“While we see positive signs
in our economy, including September marking the 67th consecutive month of private sector job
growth, the fact remains that we
can – and must – do more to make
sure our country is operating on
all cylinders.
“What doesn’t strengthen the
economy are continuous threats
by Republicans to shut down the
government. Neither does bringing us to the brink of defaulting
on our nation’s debts, like Republicans have done in the past and
could possibly do yet again this
November.
“We need to work together
to enact an agenda that creates
jobs, boosts our economy, and
makes life better for all American
families. That is the Congress this
country needs and deserves.”

Whirl With Merle
HEADING FOR READING by Merle Exit
I chose the city of Reading, in
Berks County, PA for this road trip
as there appeared to be much to do.
A goal of this trip was to explore
the accessibility in regards to accommodations, restaurants, and
attractions. I brought a rollator
and one cane.
Laurie and I hit the road on an
early Saturday morning with the
city of Ashland as the first stop,
more than half way to Reading.
After a long drive, lunch was in
order. Since the Pioneer Tunnel
Coal Mine and Steam Train topped
the beginning of our itinerary, the
Mine Shaft Café seemed the perfect dining spot. Corey Machese is
the owner of this multi-room café.
Two front rooms are devoted to
chomping the Americana cuisine.
There is another huge room with
a long bar as well as tables and
chairs. This place looks like the
neighborhood family friendly
nightspot. Bands, sports and even
an event like a Murder Mystery
Dinner.
Our waitress made fresh lemonade. I ordered the soup of the day:
Stuffed Cabbage Soup. It was like
having a deconstructed stuffed
cabbage. Needed a salad. Then
had one of their various flavored
chicken wings. I chose the sweet
Thai Chili sauce, less spicy than
Buffalo and still able to dip into
bleu cheese with celery stalks.
www.mineshaftcafe.com
I noticed a large statue as we
came into town and inquired
about what is called the Mother’s
Memorial. Here is a bit of the history. Erected in 1938, the Mother’s
Memorial is situated prominently in the town of Ashland, PA,
in the anthracite coal region of
Schuylkill County. The Ashland
Boys’ Association (A.B.A.), an
organization of men and boys
born in Ashland, raised the funds
for the fabrication and erection of
this monument in 1938.
At an A.B.A. reunion in 1933, it
was proposed to honor all Ashland
mothers by erecting a monument
or memorial. Members felt that
such a memorial would represent the very foundation of the
organization, because their motto
was, “Come on home” and home
evoked thoughts of one’s mother.
A committee was formed in 1936
to investigate and plan the memorial. The memorial is based upon
the painting, “Whistler’s Mother”
and reads, “A mother is the holiest
thing alive.”
On to the Pioneer Tunnel Coal
Mine and Steam Train that has two
tours. The train ride, “The Lokie”,
which is an extreme “rickety” ride
along the side of the mountain
stops at 2 points. At one point, you
stay in the car and the operator gets
out and talks about the history of
the town of Ashland giving a good

view. At the 2nd stop, everyone
can get off and take pictures of the
surrounding mountains and hear
more about the history of the area
including the mining industry and
about the still burning mine fire
under the
Centralia Mountain.
You can see it from this spot.
Boarding the non-accessible train
was not easy with the high step
and not good for someone with
back problems.
The tunnel portion is a ride
down into an actual mine that
was used back in the early 1900’s.
There was only enough time for
the one tour. www.pioneertunnel.
com
We then traveled from Ashland
to the town of Barto where we
checked into the Landhaven Bed
and Breakfast, located at 1194
Huffs Church Rd and owned by
Donna and Ed Land.
The building was formerly an
1870s general store. You can see
some of the history in “the event
room”. The first floor has the
kitchen, dining room, “gathering
room” and one bedroom. I was
given one that had a roll in shower
and shower bench. This is very
unusual for a BandB. There are 4
rooms on the second floor and the
living quarters on the third floor
with an extra bedroom and private
bath if necessary.
Headed for Reading for dinner
at Judy’s on Cherry Street. Oy! Did
not know that the restaurant was
non-accessible and had to climb a
flight of stairs. It was worth it. Although the restaurant looks casual,
there were many people dressed up
for a Saturday night on the town.
Think of it as “fine dining”. Judy
has an open kitchen in the middle
of one of the rooms. If you choose
to, you can sit there. Big oven (and
staff) takes up much of the space
while owner and executive chef
Judy Henry cooks up a storm at
the stove top area.
Bill of fare features a Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Focaccia
bread is brought to the table. They
are in triangular shapes with herbs
baked in. Appetizers: Roasted Italian Sweet Peppers, fresh figs and
prosciutto; Butternut Squash Soup
with Crab and Curry. Forgot to
ask about cumin content. Otherwise, it was delish. The Casuela
Roast of Diver Scallops sat in a
pool of caramelized onions all
cooked with sherry, vinegar and
butter. I was oh so tempted to eat
the onions but realized that they
may not like me later on. It came
with whipped potatoes and a green
vegetable.
For dessert (I saved a bit of
room) there was a gluten-free
chocolate cake. She uses Wilbur
chocolate, a company located in
Lititz, Pa. They are not closed but
no longer give tours.
Judy owns another restaurant
just around the corner called
Speckled Hen, a cottage pub and
alehouse. There’s local live music
on Friday evenings at this authentically restored 18th century log
house modeled after the country
cottage pubs of the British Isles.
www.judysoncherry.com
Back to Landhaven, Friday
night called for entertainment. It
was a country-rock-bluegrass sort
of local group called Frog Holler.
The room was packed with what
appeared to be mostly followers
of the band. We all loved the
music. Some of the women in the
audience couldn’t help but get up
and dance. Concerts tend to be on
both Friday and Saturday evenings
with a BYOB.
The pillows on the bed were
like the best ever! Would have
slept longer if it weren’t for a full
day of featured fun to look forward
to. Breakfast was a deconstructed
blintz. Bake casserole with the
cheese filling. Then you get
to scoop on fresh cooked apple
pieces, nuts and a vanilla sour
cream. Donna and Ed maintain
an extremely friendly atmosphere.

Thanks to families, volunteers,
and vendors for joining us for our
2nd Annual Touch-A-Truck Fall
Festival on Saturday, September
26th at the Cross Island YMCA.
This event gave kids a chance to
encounter working trucks and vehicles they see in everyday life up
close and personal. Kids climbed
inside, touched and explored the
trucks they see every day! (Plus
other cool vehicles). All the proceeds of this event went to benefit the YMCA Annual Support
Campaign. The YMCA Annual
Support Campaign allows children to take part in our Summer
Camp, Early Childhood Classes
and many other YMCA programs.
In 2015, we will provide over
$265,000 in financial assistance
to more than 250 local youth and
families in need of YMCA programs and services.
Vehicles included FDNY
Fire Truck, NYPD patrol car,
Glen Oaks Volunteer Ambulance, Long Island Jewish Ambulance, Emblem Health RV, Game
Truck, NYCB Bucket truck, Con
Ed Cable Truck, Department of
Sanitation and US Army Humvee.
This event wouldn’t have been
possible without the sponsorship
from our top sponsor The Answer
Group. And a big thank you to
New York Community Bank, for
their sponsorship, volunteers and
their truck!
Thanks to ConEd for their
Cable Truck and volunteers. With
the support of outstanding staff
and volunteers from the community including our board of managers and fund development team,
NYCB and ConEd the event was
a huge success. A special thanks
to all the owners of the vehicles.
“It was really great to see all
the kids and families enjoying the
trucks and activities,” shared Jamé
Krauter, Director of Fund Development and Communications “it is

First Dispenser of Free Feminine Hygiene
Products Graces Public High School in Corona
Council Member Julissa
Ferreras-Copeland, the New York
City Department of Education and
HOSPECO® unveiled the City’s
first dispenser of free feminine
hygiene products at the High
School for Arts and Business in
Corona. The girls’ restroom will
be outfitted with a dispenser and
free Maxithins sanitary napkins
and Tampax tampons for the entire
school year.
This van guard pilot, the only
government initiative of its kind
in the nation, comes as Council
Member Ferreras-Copeland and
the New York City Council are
pushing to make feminine hygiene products available for free
in middle schools, high schools
and other public buildings across
the City, including hospitals, parks
and cultural institutions.
“Offering free menstrual care
supplies as we do toilet paper and
condoms is a matter of avoiding health risks, eliminating the
stigma that surrounds a natural
part of a women’s life, and for
girls in school, not having to skip
class because they got their period. Feminine hygiene products
allow women and girls to carry
out their daily responsibilities
uninterrupted and they should
always be easily accessible,” said
Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-
Copeland, who in July began offering feminine hygiene products
for free in her district office’s
bathroom, “New York City is a
known forerunner in women’s
equality and this groundbreaking
initiative further proves our commitment and respect for women’s
bodies.”
High School Students to Get First-Hand Veterinary Training
A group of 30 New York
high school students will get the
opportunity to learn first-hand
about the different experiences a
veterinarian can have – from caring for zoo animals to examining
a dog’s teeth.
The students were selected
to participate in the High School
Veterinary Career Exploration
program, a series of four classes
held every Thursday in the month
of October by the Veterinary
Medic al Association of New York
City (VMANYC).
The classes are from 7-8:30
p.m. starting Thursday, Oct. 8
and continuing throughout the
month of October at the BluePearl
Veterinary Partners hospital at 410
W. 55th Street in Manhattan. The
classes will feature a variety of
different veterinarians, and some
will offer live demonstrations on
animals.
Among the speakers:
• A board-certified veterinary
surgeon
• A veterinary technician from
the Bronx Zoo
• A board-certified veterinary
dentist
• The owner of a small-animal
house call practice
• A forensic veterinarian
• An ER veterinarian
“Our goal is to illustrate in a very
hands-on way the diverse array of
career options that come from getting a degree as a veterinarian,”
said Dr. David Wohlstadter, a
senior clinician at BluePearl and a
VMANYC board member. “We’re
hoping to inspire the next generation of veterinarians.”

McCray, Dromm Attend Parent Family Night at
Pan American International High School
Recently, September 30, 2015
Council Member Daniel Dromm
joined First Lady of NYC Chirlane
McCray at Pan American International High School’s Parent Family
Night in Elmhurst, Queens.
Pan American International High
School is now a community school,
meaning that the school now takes
a more holistic approach to meeting
students’ needs than the traditional
public school model. Community
Schools offer support groups and
lessons for parents, access to physical and mental healthcare, mentors
and child daycare for students and
other valuable services.
“I congratulate Parent Coordinator Juana Adames and Principal
George Badia on the tremendous
job they did organizing over 200
parents to come out for the school’s
Family Night,” said NYC Council
Education Committee Chairperson Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson
Heights, Elmhurst). “Having First
Lady Chirlane McCray at the
event made it an even more special occasion. Her emphasis on
parental involvement is so very
important. Anytime parents get involved in their kid’s education, they
improve.”
by making no real attempt to decrease the excessive aircraft noise
over the area. I believe that the
Environmental Protection Agency
is better suited to handle the problem, and this bill is the best way
for the agency to take control of
it. Noise is an environmental issue
and the EPA has handled mitigation efforts in the past. It’s time
to take noise control away from
the FAA, and give the EPA a try.”
Meng’s legislation, the Quiet
Communities Act of 2015, would
restore the EPA’s Office of Noise
Abatement and Control, which
previously oversaw the nation’s
noise control activities until it
was defunded by the Reagan Administration in 1981 due to budget
cuts. The measure would also
require the EPA Administrator to
conduct a study of airport noise
and examine the FAA’s selection
of noise measurement methodologies, health impact thresholds, and
abatement program effectiveness.
Although airplane noise has long
existed over Queens due to the
proximity of New York’s airports,
the blistering sounds of jets sig-
nificantly increased in 2012 when
the FAA implemented new flight
patterns over the borough. These
new routes, which are for airplanes departing LaGuardia, have
increased the frequency of flights
over residential neighborhoods in
Queens, and the substantial rise
in aircraft noise has negatively
impacted the quality of life for
borough residents.
Meng, who has secured additional noise monitors for Queens
and played a role in creating the
new airplane noise community
roundtable, is a founder and CoChair of the Congressional Quiet
Skies Caucus. Established last
year, the Caucus works to mitigate excessive airplane noise that
adversely affects communities.
The Congresswoman’s bill is
cosponsored by Reps. Joe Crowley
(D-Queens/Bronx), Steve Israel
(D-Queens/L.I.), Kathleen Rice
(D-L.I.), Nita Lowey (D-Westchester), Katherine Clark (D-MA),
Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Raul
Grijalva (D-AZ), Ann Kirkpatrick

Cong. Meng Introduces Legislation
Requiring EPA to Take Over Efforts to
Combat Airplane Noise Over Queens
With the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) doing virtually nothing to mitigate the barrage
of increased airplane noise over
Queens, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng
(D-Queens) introduced legislation
that would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to take the lead in combatting
aircraft noise over the borough,
as well as in affected communities
across the country.
“The FAA has failed the residents of Queens,” said Meng. “It
continues to ignore the borough

THE QUEENS TIMES
Queens Sports
Mets Move Another Step in
After the New York Mets failed
to make the National League
playoffs in 2014, they turned the
whole ‘thing’ around in 2015 and
captured the East Division title.
Nobody thought that they would
make such a strong turn performance during their time on the
baseball diamond.
For the most part, their pitching held up especially with the
starters in Jacob DeGrom, Matt
Harvey Noah Syndergaar and
veteran Barton Colon and veteran
Jonathan Niese to go along with
excellent relief pitching at times
as they had depth in that bull pen.
Then to help on the field with
their offense was newcomers
Yoenis Cesepedes with his bat in
August a September, who tried to
make a name for himself as did
Tyler Clippard for the same result
and the same period of time, and
Michael Conforto, who is in the
major leagues in his first year. The
first two mentioned came to the
Mets in trades. They tried to all
give a hand with their bat.
The new faces along with veterans Dave Wright, who continued
to swing away with the ball,as
did Dan Murphy, Lucas Duda and
Cutis Granderson helped with the
offense to help make the team a
tremendous success.
After clinching their division
title, Manager Terry Collins,
rested some of his starters to
give the new faces some additional work in preparation for
the whole team’s second season
which actually stars against the
Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday
night with their first of two games
on the road.
This organization had some
down years as over recent years
failed to make the playoffs, Therefore, the Met fans felt very disappointed. But this was the year for
them as now they must show their
capabilities in the playoffs.
On the mound Colon is a veteran and just how long will he last
as a relief or starting pitcher. However, Syndergaard is strong on the
mound and times is outstanding
and has shown signs of brilliance.
“He has command of his curve
ball,” said Collins. “And (overall)
these guys throw so hard. I’m very
impressed.”
“Colon’s pitching was tremendous,” said Manager Collins during the latter part of the season.
By Robert Elkin
“I haven’t looked (ahead into the
playoffs). We didn’t play very
good (against Washington, the last
week of the regular season) and
lately). However, we played very
well on our road trip. (In order to
win you (a team) has to play well
(all the time).”
For the most part as a team the
Mets put in a very good year but
previously turned in some down
years. Last September management told the fans that this time
they will get better and improve
on the field. And they sure did and
won the division title, thanks to
some trades, and signing of other
players and of course the veterans
as they all came through.
It means a lot in what this team
accomplished. And to see the
emergence of some of the young
players especially the pitchers was
just incredible. Harvey, who made
a terrific comeback, was just an
example. And for the veterans
Niese throws strikes, Releaving is
different than starting, according
to the Manager.
At press time, Collins hasn’t
made up his mind whether Niese
will be a starter or reliever during
the playoffs.
LiveOnNY, the , the premier notfor-profit organ donor organization in New York City, has helped
save 20,000 lives through organ
donation over the past 37 years.
“We are trying our best to sign
up as many New Yorkers as possible for the Donate Life Registry,
as our City and State are in a dire
need for organ donors,” said Senator Peralta. “LiveOnNY’s Organ
Donor Enrollment Day will save
lives by signing up more New
Yorkers to be registered organ
donors. When it comes to organ
donation, New York is in a state
of emergency.”
“All New Yorkers, regardless of
their immigration status, should
have access to life-saving kidney
transplants, if medically necessary,” said Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights).
“Your immigration status should
not determine whether you live or
die. It’s the moral thing to do and
the economical thing to do. I commend Senator Jose Peralta for his
commitment to this critical issue.”
Today, Senator Jose Peralta, Assemblymember Moya and
Councilmember Constantinides
recognized the first annual Organ Donor Enrollment Day with
the common goal of enrolling as
many New Yorkers as possible as
registered organ donors.
Councilmember Costa Constantinides said, “We are in a public health crisis as New York State
ranks in last place nationwide in
percent of residents who are registered organ donors. Every 18
hours, someone in New York State
dies waiting for an organ. LiveOnNY’s Organ Donor Enrollment
Day will help us spread the word
about the need for more organ donors and recruit people to register.
I commend Senator Peralta and
LiveOnNY for their dedication
to this important issue.”
“The Salvadoran Renal Foundation is committed to educating
and helping prevent Chronic Kidney Disease among the Hispanic
population in the US. We have
observed the increasing number
of patients who need a kidney
transplant and extended waiting
list for a calaveric donor organ.
We are delighted to join LiveOnNY and Senator Peralta efforts
to raise awareness in increasing
the organ donor registry in New
York,” said Juan Guerra, Public
Relations Coordinator of the Salvadoran Renal Foundation.
In his efforts to increase the
number of eligible New Yorkers to
become registered organ donors,
Senator Peralta introduced legislation in July (S. 6022) that would
require certain state forms and
applications to include a space
allowing New Yorkers to sign up
for the Donate Life Registry. This
particular bill would increase
opportunities for New Yorkers
to register as organ donors in the
state that ranks last nationwide
per capita.

day,” said CEO Todd Davis. “Our
goal is to stop distracted driving
in its tracks with the DriveAlertNow device. By installing the
DriveAlertNow device, the driver
cannot answer the phone, text, or
email while they are in a car,” he
explained. “We all know there is
a problem and the fact that the
automobile and insurance industry
are taking notice serves as confirmation of that. This is an absolute
game changer to a problem we
know has been increasingly growing. No longer.”
“I am ecstatic to be a part of
the DriveAlertNow product,”
comments Managing Partner of
CityWorld Automotive Group,
Bruce Bendell. City World Auto-
motiveGroup is the premier dealer
in the New York area to offer this
life saving technology in an effort

and driving. Our participation is
a testament to the value we place
not only on our customers, but on
our children.”
The DriveAlertNow device
holds all texts while the car is moving sending a custom auto-reply
to incoming texts. Phone usage,
browsing the internet, and whether
the seat belt is engaged arms
the administrator with tangible
evidence of responsible driving.By
installing this password-protected
app on their children’s phones,
they’ll make their children better
drivers and more cognizant of
the devastating consequences it
presents.

Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito &
CM Jimmy Van Bramer Announce $3.2
Million Cultural Immigrant Initiative
“New York draws its strength
from the diverse cultures from
across the world that call our city
home,” said Cultural Affairs Acting Commissioner Edwin Torres.
“Our city is made stronger when
we more fully understand and
celebrate our fellow New Yorkers.
We are proud to support cultural
organizations that explore the
immigrant communities that help
make New York the vital, inclusive place it is. We look forward
to working with City Council to
provide additional opportunities
to support programming that
ref lects the neighborhoods we
serve.”
“Since the economic crisis,
small organizations like ours have
been struggling with funding cuts
from private corporations and
foundations. That’s why for us the
creation of the Cultural Immigrant
Initiative by the City Council has
been so important in order to be
able to continue serving our community, specially the Hispanics
in Queens, after 37 years. It has
allowed us to program FREE performances in our local Park and
bilingual theatre/dance workshops
for children, youth and seniors,”
said Angel Gil Orrios, Artistic/
Executive Director of Thalia
Spanish Theatre.
“I can’t underscore enough the
value of a grant like the cultural
initiative to a growing cultural
organization like Braata Productions. With funding being cut for
arts in many areas, it is encouraging to see that the city council
and particularly Councilman Van
Bramer saw the importance of
cultural programming to the arts
landscape of New York so he/
they saw it fit to earmark funds
specifically for this purpose.
With the funds from the Cultural
Initiative we were able to have
the an inaugural staging of a Folk
Festival which is the only festival
of its kind showcasing the range of
folk traditions from across many
islands of the Caribbean,” said Andrew Clarke, Founder and Artistic
Director of Braata Productions.
“The funds received through
the Cultural Immigrant Initiative helped us to accelerate our
growth and reach a broader audience, especially in areas where
our community is artistically and
culturally underserved. The value
of this fund goes beyond just monetary; it shows that this city, this
Council, our local representative
care about the arts, our cultures
and immigrants. They have gone
beyond mere promises and delivered something that allows immigrants to preserve and celebrate
their heritage,” said Esau Chauca,
Founder of Ayazamana.
“On behalf of TOPAZ ARTS
and Co-Founding Director Todd
Richmond, we are enlightened and

Queens Library To Begin
Expanded Library Service
Queens Library will
expand its hours of service beginning the week of
November 15, 2015. It will
give library-users across the
borough increased access to
the library’s computers, free
books and other materials,
help with school work and
provide more opportunity
to take advantage of Queens
Library’s wide range of
programs. Programs include computer workshops,
ready-to-read programs,
world class music a nd
dance performances, English Classes for Speakers
of Other Languages, adult
education and community
health programs. The expanded schedule was made
possible when the City
budget included additional
operating expenses of $43
million citywide ($12 million in Queens).
The new schedule
includes every library in
every neighborhood open at
least one day on the weekend. The Central Library in
Jamaica and the Flushing
Library will retain hours
seven days a week and will
now open at 9 am on Tuesdays. Libraries will be holding special programs during
the first weeks. More information will be announced.
In addition to expanded
hours of service, the additional funding provided
for hiring approximately
100 new employees to serve
the public, and 30% more
funding to purchase books,
e-books, videos and other
library materials. Additional funding was also
allocated to create more robust programs, such as early
literacy programs for the
youngest library customers
and more structured after
school programs.
“Parents across our city
know libraries can help develop their child’s lifelong
love of reading—and New
Yorkers in every neighborhood know the importance
of having a local library
where they can bor row
books, take classes, and
bring their families. That’s
why our administration
invested an additional $316
million in capital funding
to improve our city’s libraries—and why we invested
an additional $21.9 million
in operating funds this year
to allow for extended hours
at our city’s libraries,” said
Mayor Bill de Blasio.
“When New Yorkers
have improved access to all
the valuable services and
programs offered by our
libraries, they have a better
quality of life,” said Council Speaker Melissa MarkViverito. “The Council is
proud to provide funding
to the Queens Library for
Fiscal Year 2016 to enable
extended hours so more
New Yorkers can take full
advantage of library services. More than ever before,
this is a library system for
everyone.”
Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, Chair of the City
Council Finance Committee said, “The City Council is very proud to have
advocated for and secured
funding to expand library
service across New York
City. The wide array of resources the Queens Library
offers children, seniors,
immigrants and professionals is invaluable and a
democratizing force in our
borough. To have our libraries open on the weekends
and provide greater access
to them is a great victory
for us all.”

RESCUE SCAMS Be careful
of people who approach you
with offers to “save” your home.
There are individuals who watch
for notices of foreclosure actions
in order to unfairly profit from
a homeowner’s distress. You
should be extremely careful
about any such promises and
any suggestions that you pay
them a fee or sign over your
deed. State law requires anyone
offering such services for profit
to enter into a contract which
fully describes the services they
will perform and fees they will
charge, and which prohibits them
from taking any money from you
until they have completed all
such promised services. §1303
