Meng Proposes The EPA Regulate Airplane Noise
By Trone DowD
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens)
is drawing the line when it comes to the
noisy air traffic that has long disturbed
the airport-bordering neighborhoods
of Queens with the introduction of
new legislation last Friday.
The new legislation, which Meng
is calling the Quiet Communities Act
of 2015, will hand the responsibility
of controlling and limiting noise pollution in neighborhoods like Jackson
Heights and Springfield Gardens to
the Environmental Protection Agency. Previously, that responsibility belonged to the Federal Aviation Agency. However, according to Meng, the
FAA produced little to no results.
“The FAA has failed the residents
of Queens,” Meng said. “It continues
to ignore the borough 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
decades, Meng is making an effort “to give
the EPA a try.”
If the legislation
was passed, the EPA
would have to conduct studies of airport
noise as soon as possible. The EPA would
also have to review the
FAA’s previous procedures and study results
making sure that they
are up to the EPA’s

Queens Library Will
Expand Weekend Hours
By DomeniCk rafTer,
Editor in Chief
Only a few years after being threatened with branch closures and a little
more than a year after a spending
scandal threatened its public funding
commitments, the Queens Library
announced Monday its hours will be
expanding.
Owing to an increase in the City
budget’s allocation to the library system, each of the library’s branches
will be open at least one day during
the weekend. The Central Branch in
Jamaica and the Flushing branch will
be open seven days a week and will
now open at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, instead of the current 1 p.m.
The expanded schedule was made
possible when the City budget included additional operating expenses
of $43 million citywide, including $12
million in Queens.
Additional funding provided for
hiring approximately 100 new employees to serve the public, and 30
percent more funding to purchase
books, e-books, videos and other library materials. Additional funding
was also allocated to create programs,
such as early literacy programs and
more structured after school programs.
Julissa Ferreras-Copeland (D-East
Elmhurst), Chair of the City Council
Finance Committee said, “To have
Airport runway repairs saw completion after nearly a year of construction. Next year, a new hotel is slated
to begin construction near the historic
Eero Saarinen TWA terminal next to
JetBlue’s Terminal 5.
Councilman Donovan Richards
(D-Laurelton) told the Queens Tribune that he was very much behind
the switch proposed by Meng.
“We can’t wait another year, we
can’t another day,” Richards said.
“Our children have to deal with this
in particular. You can’t even enjoy
a concert in the park without airplanes flying over your head every
minute.”
Richards specifically referred to
Brookville Park which suffers severely
from noisy, low flying planes, often
huge 747’s, overhead.
“If this will push the envelope in
ensuring that we get justice, then we
definitely support this,” he said.
But while he was interested to see
the results, Richards pointed out that
it was important that air pollution
not get lost in the shuffle as the EPA
moves to alleviate the noise problem
in the affiliated neighborhoods.
The EPA told the Queens Tribune
that they are not yet ready to officially
comment on the piece of legislation.

city buses.” They are three times the
size of a city bus and will have life
spans over four times as long. Crowley anticipates the light rail cars to cost
about three million each, which she
claims is similar to the cost of a city
bus. Since a bus needs to be replaced
every 13 years, it would make the light
rail more cost efficient during its life.
Gary Giordano, district manager
for CB 5, said some of the board members would also like to see the light rail
move east to Jamaica where the freight
line joins with the LIRR’s main line.
He noted, “We have also been proponents of the re-institution of the
Rockaway Line.” He added, “because
of the congestion at the current trend,
it’s just gonna get worse and worse
and worse.”
He agrees that they need to, “transport people in an effective way as
convenient as possible through mass
transit, preferably by train.” Giordano
is grateful bus riders are not in their
individual cars, but, “buses are still in
the same traffic.”
Hayes said, “residents every day
deal with unreliable bus service and or
very congested streets.”

Coachella May Be Coming To Queens
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
One of the most popular music festivals in America may be coming to
Queens.
One of the nation’s biggest concert promoters is talking about bringing Coachella to Flushing Meadows
Corona Park next June, reported The
Daily News. AEG Live, the entertainment company behind Coachella,
explained that they are specifically
thinking about rocking out under the
Unisphere.
This would be one of the biggest
events in Queens since the 1964-65
World’s Fair and there’s a possibility
that it could draw fans and acts away
from another popular festival known
as Governors Ball on Randalls Island.
Julissa Ferreras-Copeland (D-East
Elmhurst) has had preliminary conversations with AEG about bringing a
festival to Flushing Meadows Corona
Park.
“As with any major project in her
district, she will work in the best interest of the community and the longterm future of the park,” said Lillian
Zepeda, director of communications
at Ferreras-Copeland’s office.
A source confirms that there have
been talks with AEG, but Parks Department rules say that no final pro-
posals may be submitted until November.
AEG is talking about scheduling the event for two weeks after the
Governors Ball and possibly draining
headlines from the city’s only major
three-day music festival.
“Borough President [Melinda] Katz
has expressed her significant concerns
to the administration about the type of
precedent it would set to rent public
parkland for paid-admission events,
especially when it has never been done
before in Queens,” said Sharon Lee,
the communications director for Katz.
“In lieu of official policy on the matter,
Borough President Katz is in ongoing
discussions with the administration to
develop a policy that includes public
input and that makes sense for Queens
and for the City.”
Coachella wouldn’t be AEG’s first
foray in the East Coast, they also conducted the All Points West which was
held in Liberty State Park in Jersey
City in 2008 and 2009.
Last week Katz’s office told the
press that, “Queens is increasingly
becoming a premier destination for
entertainment, culture and tourism.
While we encourage public events of
any scale that enhance our borough,
this proposal appears to raise significant concerns, especially the precedent
it would potentially set. If the applica-

music festival.
tion is granted, this would be the first
time ever for Queens to lend its treasured public parkland to a for-profit
company for a charged-admission
event. We welcome the opportunity to
learn more about the proposal.”

WHY SHOULD WE?
Pols: Rethink Redesign Of 111th Street
By Jon Cronin
Staff Writer
In response to Corona residents
upset at the proposed redesign of
111th Street, Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) presented his own redesign at a town
hall meeting in Corona at St. Leo’s
Parish.
The current street design has parking on the east and west sides with two
lanes going north and three headed
south. The DOT redesign reduces it
to one lane each way and includes the
addition of bike lanes.
Moya believes that this would
bring, “more congestion and more
accidents,” adding that during large
events at CitiField, Flushing Meadows
Corona Park, the US Open or Terrace
On The Park “it would be a parking
lot.”
He said during the conception of
DOT’s design, “111th Street residents
were not significantly consulted.”
Moya’s design will keep current
traffic lanes, but gives the option
of either putting the bike paths in
the median strip or on the side walk
on the park side of the street. He
notes, “The median is sufficient for
two-way bike lanes.” Moya not only
believes it is more practical to the
flow of traffic, but safer for the bicyclists.
State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East
Elmhurst) said he and Moya have met
with DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg to explain the proposal and
the conversation is on-going.
Moya said The DOT’s plan is not
cemented and they intend to continue
having a dialogue with the community
before anything solidifies.
The packed basement at St. Leo’s
Church had support on both sides of
the DOT design. Supporters and detractors yelled out during the presentation while Moya did his best to calm
the overzealous audience members,
asking them to please write down their
questions and pass them up front for a
Q&A at the end of the session.
To illustrate community concerns,
Moya, Peralta and Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-Bronx) penned a letter to Trottenberg stating that they are for the
expansion of bike lanes, but, as their
letter states, “Placement decisions
must take a host of factors into account, including pre-existing traffic
patterns, congestion, safety, and suitability for the local area.”
Borough President Melinda Katz
wrote in a similar letter regarding the
DOT proposed bike lanes, “many of
the proposed bike lanes do not connect
with existing lanes or have a clear and
obvious goal and create more dangerous road conditions rather than safer
passage.” She added that all bike lanes
should be part of the borough-wide
plan.
She further criticized the plan by
asking, “Where are the turns and intersections onto side streets and into
Flushing Meadows Corona Park, how
will NYCDOT’s new plan address
pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist safety?”

which was proposed by local historian
Jason Antos and promoted by Paul
DiBenedetto of the Bayside Historical
Society, through the City Council.
In addition to being a part of the
Matinecock’s ancestral home and the
location of the last battle, the intersection is near the site of Matinecock
graves that were dug up in the 1930s
when the city widened Northern Boulevard – also originally a Matinecock
thoroughfare.
The remains were moved to a mass
grave at the Zion Episcopal Church
with an inscription that says “here lie
the last of the Matinecock.”
But the Matinecock Nation had a
message at Monday’s street naming
ceremony: we’re still here.
“This has been a struggle for the
present day Matinocock to receive
some level of recognition,” Chief of the
Matinecock Nation Osceola Townsend
said.
Harry Wallace, Chief of Unkechaug
Nation, echoed the sentiment.
“When we talk about history here,
to us it is a living history,” he said, “We
have more history yet to make.”

A Right At Matinecock Way
A street in Douglaston was renamed
for the Matinecock Nation, the Native
American tribe that called the area
home for centuries before it was settled
by the Dutch.
The intersection of Matinecock
Way, previously Marathon Parkway,
and Northern Boulevard carries a special significance as the site of the last
battle between the Matinecock and settlers in 1656.
Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) shepherded the street re-naming,

Quiet! Listen To Rep. Meng Faith-Based Rehabilitation
For decades, Queens has bore the brunt of airplane
noise. It’s a trade off we make for the millions upon
millions of dollars JFK and LaGuardia pump into the
local economy, and the jobs the airports provide. We’re
happy to make that trade, but in recent years, the noise
of jets coming to and from the borough’s two airports
have made some communities almost unlivable.
Frustrated by the Federal Aviation Administration’s
inability, or apathy, in alleviating the problem, Rep.
Grace Meng is pushing a bill to allow the Environmental
Protection Agency to regulate airplane noise.
It’s an intriguing idea.
Looking at airplane noise through an environmental
lens is something civic activists have long called for.
Noise pollution is that just…pollution. The FAA’s primary
responsibility is the safety and efficiency of air travel.
It’s hard to do that and control noise. Further, the EPA
has experience doing this. As Meng noted, the agency
had an Office of Noise Abatement and Control, which
was defunded during the Reagan administration.
This problem isn’t isolated to Queens. Since the arrival
of NextGen, which allows for more frequent landings and
takeoffs, communities near airports around the country
have been dealing with noise issues. Notably, Meng’s bill
is cosponsored by representatives of communities near
airports in Chicago, Boston and Phoenix, Ariz.
We praise Meng for her leadership and call on Congress to pass her legislation. Give the EPA back a toll
that they are already experienced in using to give us
the better quality of life we deserve.
I
To The Editor:
am writing in response
to the Op-Ed of Council
Member Lancman (DFresh Meadows), The Fight
Against Substance Abuse (Oct.
1-7, 2015), in which he got
more free advertisement space
for his next plan to waste taxpayer dollars for an Office of
Drug Strategy, as proposed by
Manhattan Councilman Corey
Johnson. The present system
of criminal and rehabilitative
services in New York City
already protects public safety
by criminal prosecution of
all drug-related crimes (drug
and drug paraphernalia possession, larceny, robbery and
burglary), and ensure rehabilitative programs (“rehab”)
for abusers. However, Lancman essentially endeavors to
decriminalize drug-related
misdemeanors beyond the
present “Get Out of Jail Free”
cards, which characterize the
criminal justice system pertinent to these and other social
miscreants. In addition, the
fact of the matter is that standard “rehab” of medical and
psychotherapeutic modalities
is a dismal failure with a high
rate of recidivism in both drug
abuse and drug--associated
crimes.
Therefore, I would like
to recommend a mandatory
for anyone who identifies as
Christian one-year residential
holistic alcohol and drug treatment program at Teen Challenge, which is for both teens
and adults. Teen Challenge is
the only effective substance
abuse set of programs of Christian faith-based principles and
applications to regenerate (not
“rehabilitate”) persons with
substance abuse problems.
No other substance abuse programs are as effective as Teen
Challenge in a holistic - bodily,
emotionally, and spiritually program of healing.
Teen Challenge programs
target the root of the physical
and emotional problems of
substance abuse - the human
spirit, since the grace of Jesus
Christ is the only power which
heals the causative existential
despair. Despair - a spiritual
sickness - is sin, according to
the Christian theologian and
existentialist, Soren Kierkegaard: : “Qualified despair is
synonymous with sin for sin
is precisely a determinant of
spirit” (The Sickness Unto
Death, 1849). And, “Whatever is not from faith is sin”
(Romans 14: 23). Therefore,
from a Christian psychological
exposition of all human behaviors, we must recognize three
elements in all counseling: the
principle of human autonomy
(free-will), the ontology of sin
in the degenerate soul, and the
efficacy of the Divine grace
through Jesus Christ in any
healing process.
Mere judicial reform and
secular “rehab” programs
financed by the City as promoted in City Council legislation as per Council Members
Johnson, Lancman and their
“progressive” caucus shall be
useless to prevent and cure the
drug and alcohol epidemic in
New York City. All I am saying,
to paraphrase John Lennon, is
Give Faith A Chance.

In YOur OpInIOn
Businessmen Make Bad Presidents
R
To The Editor:
ecent polls are saying
that most of the Republican’s surveyed like
Donald Trump and Ben Carson
because they’re business people.
History has shown us that
those who are good at business make failed presidents.
In fact, no highly successful
businessman has ever become
a successful president, and no
highly successful president
has been a highly successful
businessman.
George Dubya Bush’s 20 years
in business shows he failed as an
oilman, but made millions for
himself by investing in the
Texas Rangers. During his
term, we saw some of the biggest corporate scandals and
bankruptcies since the great
depression. He got us into two
wars that weren’t paid for, our
economy tanked, and millions
lost their jobs. Surveys rank
him in the bottom fourth of
the successful presidents.
By definition, the objectives for being in business and
government are diabolically
opposed. A business is in
business to make money, and
employees oftentimes get fired
to meet that end. A CEO’s world
is dictated by hard facts, not
emotions or people.
Contrast that with the objective of government which
is to provide services on a
collective basis, services for
the general good of the people.
They are constrained by budgets, yes, but their goal is to
provide a service, not to make
a profit by providing stat less
service.
The president has to work
with members of Congress,
and other leaders who are all
elected and he can’t fire them.
To be effective, he or she requires a very different skill set
from a CEO.

Whitestone
Firehouse Celebrates
It’s Centennial
BY lYnn EdMonds
Staff Writer
A Whitestone fire station celebrated its 100th anniversary on Thursday,
bringing in Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro, Chief of Department James
Leonard, and Assemblyman Ed Braunstein (D-Bayside), as well as bagpipers
and drummers, to commemorate the
occasion.
The FDNY as a whole, which is the
largest fire department in the country,
celebrated its 150th anniversary this
year.
Members of Engine Company 295
and Ladder Company 144, past and
present, as well as their families and
friends, spilled out of the clean-swept
fire station and onto the sidewalk as
they listened to the commemorative
addresses.
While celebrating the occasion, the
officers took time to remember three
members of Ladder 144 that lost their
lives in service to the city.
Among them, Firefighter Walter
Voight, who recently passed away due
to World Trade Center related illness.
Firefighters Frederick Zeigler and
William Austin were killed in 1947
while responding to a boat fire in the
East River.
But the event, which culminated
in the dramatic unveiling of a special
plaque, also emphasized the joy and satisfaction involved in the work.
Captain of Engine 295 Ken Ruggerio
reflected on what drove him to the profession.
“I remember being a kid and seeing
fire trucks come down the block, and
everybody would stop and we would
look at the fire trucks. And to me that
was like, ‘wow, that’s a pretty cool job, I
think I want to do that when I grow up,’”
he said. “If there was a firefighter there,
they could take care of any problem that
might arise. They could do it.”
“Nothing has changed. It’s that commitment, that dedication, that bravery,
that draws one to want to be a firefighter,” he added.
Residence For
Disabled To Open In
Lindenwood

Staff Writer
Services for the Underserved,
a non-for-profit that aids 25,000
developmentally disabled people
in the city, will be opening a location on South Conduit Avenue in
the Lindenwood section of Howard
Beach.
Doris Figorora, Judith Jackson and
Carmen Lopez, of Services for the Underserved presented to Community
Board 10 last Thursday night at the
Knights of Columbus Hall in South
Ozone Park.
“We consider ourselves to be good
neighbors,” said Figorora. Jackson
noted that over 240 individuals supported by their program live in Queens
and so far 10 of them live within the
perimeter of CB 10.
Figorora stated this will be a kind
of on-site service for two elderly physically and mentally disabled individuals who will be living in a ground floor
apartment at 89-14 South Conduit
Ave. She said the new residents will
be commuting to a day rehabilitation
center Monday through Friday and
there will be round the clock aids, as
well as visits from physicians and psychiatrists.
CB 10 Member and Howard Beach
Civic Association President Joann
Ariola, said, “When you say you want
to be good neighbors, I hope you
mean it.” She advised them to keep an
open dialogue with both the community board and the civic association in
order to
Jackson said the purview of the
program is to “help individuals prepare for life outside the Services for
the Underserved.” Their website states
their 37 year-old program is there
“to provide services and supports for
individuals with special needs to live
with dignity in the community, direct
their own lives and attain personal fulfillment.”
According to their website, “SUS
employs a staff of over 100 in Queens,
and has close to 200 staff members who
live in the borough. We launched our
first program in Queens in 1992 and
since then, SUS’ presence in Queens
has grown to be an integral part of the
communities that host our programs
and services.”
Big Changes For Big
Bush Park
BY lYnn EdMonds
Staff Writer
Big Bush Park in Woodside will
undergo major renovations in the upcoming year, to the tune of $1.8 million.
The park serves the almost 1,000
families that reside in the Big Six Towers Cooperative housing, as well as
other neighboring residents, and it offers far more recreational opportunities than other parks in the area.
As such, Councilman Jimmy Van
Bramer (D-Sunnyside) said the renovations were crucial.
“It’s the right thing to do for the big
six and for this portion of Woodside,”
Van Bramer said.
Updates will include additional
planting areas, activities for a variety
of park users, play swings for toddlers, a new spray shower in a sunny
location, a new drinking fountain, upgraded seating and game tables, adult
exercise equipment, rejuvenated lighting, and tree maintenance.
“It hadn’t been done in a while,
it’s starting to look a little gray in the
tooth, and I want all the parks in my
district to be state of the art, brand
new; and for the people in those communities to have the best, the absolute
best,” Van Bramer said.
Project goals are increasing opportunities for active as well as passive
recreation, as well as the amount of
green space.
Funding for the renovation was
provided through a $1 million capital allocation from Borough President
Melinda Katz, and an $800,000 allocation from Van Bramer.
Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2016.

LPC May Expand Douglaston Historic District
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
The Landmark Preservation Commission is holding a meeting Thursday to discuss whether the Douglaston
Historic District in Douglas Manor
should be extended.
The public hearing is part of an
effort to clear the commission’s 95property backlog, which has left some
homeowners in limbo when it come to
renovating their house.
On Monday, the New York Times
drew attention to the local issue with
an article describing conflict – that became ugly – among area residents over
whether the designation would be a
boon to their neighborhood.
The Douglaston Historic District
was created in 1997 and includes over
600 homes. The proposed extension
includes about 22 buildings, immediately south of the present historic
district.
The commission says that the area
is historic for the buildings’ architectural quality and because they “recall
the transformation of the community
from the large farms and estates to
smaller farms and later to the suburban-style community that it is today.”
Paul Graziano, urban planner and
proponent of the Historic District extension, said that the area under consideration should have been part of
the historic district all along.
“This was never supposed to have
been left out in the first place,” he said.
“The fact that this was left out was extremely arbitrary.”
At the time of the original designation, the landmark status had both
popular and political support, he added.
Now some say the majority of residents are against it, and Councilman
Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) did not support landmark status on that basis,
Graziano said.
Graziano argued, however, that if
one counted household by household,
rather than building by building, most
were for the designation.
Because the “limbo” of awaiting
historic designation from the LPC can
put stress on homeowners, Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) sponsored a bill to establish a maximum
period of time that a site could be under consideration by the commission.
That bill is currently under consideration by the Land Use Committee.
The public hearing on the historic
district extension will take place from
12:30 to 3:00 p.m. at the commission’s
office, located at 1 Centre St., 9th
Floor, in Manhattan. Other Queens
items include the Old Calvary Cemetery Gatehouse, the Fairway Apartments, Spanish Towers, Lydia Ann
Bell and J. Williams Ahles House, the
Pepsi Cola Sign, the First Reformed
Church and Sunday School of College
Point, and the Bowne Street Community Church.
One Dead in Richmond Hill Wreck
By domEnick RaftER
Editor in Chief
A woman was killed and four others, including a two-year-old girl, were
injured in a car accident in Richmond
Hill Tuesday.
The crash occurred at 5:53 p.m. on
Tuesday when a 43-year-old female
traveling westbound on Atlantic Avenue jumped the red light, crashing
into a black Kia driven by a 23-yearold female that was traveling northbound on 108th Street. The white SUV
mounted the sidewalk hitting three
people including a 2-year-old infant,
waiting at a bus top. Meena Mahabir,
52, of Richmond Hill was pronounced
dead at Jamaica Hospital Medical
Center a short time
later. Both drivers,
the second woman
and the infant were
both taken to the
same hospital, all
in stable condition.
According
to
several sources, the
driver of the white
SUV who ran the
red light blamed
the glare of the sun
and noted that the
traffic light at 108th
Street was tilted so
the red light could
not be seen to oncoming traffic.

Energy Conservation Bill Passes Council
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
The City Council passed a bill on
Sept. 17, sponsored by Councilman
Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria) and
Mayor Bill de Blasio, aimed at conserving energy throughout the city.
The bill mandates that all stores
keep their doors closed while the air
conditioning is running. This will
limit power demands during the peak
periods of the summer, and it will also
help decrease pollution.
“Shutting the front doors of businesses so that air-conditioning doesn’t
escape can help reduce carbon emissions by thousands of tons,” said Constantinides. “There is no evidence that
shows leaving doors open during hot
days helps business owners increase
sales. In fact, this practice of saving
power will see business owners reap
real savings in their energy bills. This
commonsense policy will help us reach
our goal of reducing carbon emissions
by 80 percent by 2050. It will take the
cooperation of everyone to make our
city greener and save energy.”
The bill is an expansion of a 2008
law, Local Law 38, sponsored by thenCouncil member and now Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.
Under that law, all chain stores and
commercial establishments over 4,000
square feet were mandated to keep
their doors closed while air conditioners are operating.
“We passed Local Law 38 to protect
both our environment and everyone
who has to pay an electric bill,” said
Brewer. “Over the course of this summer, too many stores were still blasting cold air into the streets, and it became clear increased enforcement and
a broader law were necessary.”
The new bill removes the exemption for stores and other establishments under 4,000 square feet and
raises the penalty for repeat offenders.
Any sidewalk cafe or sidewalk business that leaves their doors open are
exempt from this bill.
With this bill, 10,000 businesses
would be affected and this would result in the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions by 22,000 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to removing
close to 3,600 cars from the road, according to the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability.
Leaving the doors or windows open
while the air conditioner is running
can increase electricity by 25 percent.
“Throughout New York City, many
businesses open their doors during the
hot summer months to lure customers
inside with cool air,” said Department
of Consumer Affairs Commissioner
Julie Menin. “This practice should
never be seen as a cost of doing business, but a harmful cost to our city’s
environment and a waste of money for
the business. This is why, over the past
summer, DCA increased enforcement
and outreach to educate businesses
about the environmental and financial
impacts.
The bill would impact the city’s
power grid, where most of the city’s
plants are over 40 years old and have
been equipped with technology that
has a lower efficiency and larger air
emissions impact than the more modern plants. More than half of the city’s
power is generated from plants in Astoria and Long Island City.
“Cooling the outdoors on a hot
muggy day by leaving doors open
makes no sense. By requiring businesses to close their doors, this bill
also closes a loophole, and in doing so
will improve air quality while bringing down greenhouse gas emissions,”
said Nilda Mesa, director of the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability. “This bill
marks yet another step forward as we
implement Mayor de Blasio’s sweeping sustainability plan, including an
80 percent reduction in emissions by
2050.”

Borough Hall Lot Will Open in 2017
With the need for parking still
great around Borough Hall, the city
plans to turn the former parking garage behind the hall into a flat parking area.
The crumbling garage was demolished this past July. Sharon Lee, a
spokesperson for Borough President
Melinda Katz, stated there will be an
“at grade (flat, not elevated) street
level municipal parking lot.”
“They are working on the parking
lot design now,” said Lee, adding that
there will be a January 2016 procurement, bid and anticipated construction completion is first quarter of
2017.”
The project was initially slated to
finish this fall, but has been extended
for one year.
The parking garage was shut down
in September of 2014 after the city
engineers realized it was too dangerous to stay open. Borough Hall lost
500 parking spaces in the demolition.
The lot was mainly used by jurors and
employees who needed all day parking, a need the city has yet to fill.
At the time of the demolition the garage had 20 violations still open, which
dated back to 1989. The garage had
falling concrete throughout and was in
general poor structural condition.

Commercial Gentrification?
Astoria’s
Businesses
Reinforce
A Changing
Community
BY LYNN EDMONDS
Staff Writer
When people think gentrification,
they usually think housing.
But changes in the commercial
sector can be felt just as powerfully.
In the past couple months, the Ditmars neighborhood in the heart of Astoria has seen a swath of shops open
and close. Popular Greek Café Lefkos
Pirgos on 23rd Avenue and 31st
Street was replaced by Time Warner Cable; On Ditmars Boulevard the
Greek seafood restaurant Okeanos
shut up shop; Francis café is to be replaced with another restaurant; right
next door restaurant The Blvd is under
construction, gastropub The Pomeroy
is near complete; Create, serving Quinoa bowls and “slamwiches,” opened;
Friends Hair Salon was replaced by
Coif; and while the pink awning of “The
Candy Bar” next to PS 122 still promises candy and balloons, the window
advertises boot camp classes.
One might wonder if new businesses catering toward young professionals might be edging out some
of the older, and often Greek-themed
establishments.
But others, like local real estate
agent Thiago Pinto from Zikos Realty, believe its mainly underperforming businesses that are getting
pushed out.
Okeanos, for instance? Some locals said it just wasn’t good enough
to compete with the famous seafood
restaurant across the street – Taverna Kyklades.
As for Lefkos Pirgos, the neighborhood mainstay named after the
iconic white tower of Thessaloniki,
simply moved down the block to 33rd
Street and Ditmars Boulevard.
“Coming Soon”
Regardless of the individual circumstances, however, it’s undeniable that plenty of commercial tenants are leaving, while others are
moving in.
And that sparked some interesting reactions.
Photo by Lynn Edmonds
Café Lefkos Pyrgos moved from 31st Street to Ditmars Boulevard.
Someone posted a Burger King
“coming soon” sign in empty storefront where Okeanos once stood,
as well as a Home Depot sign in
a closed hardware shop just two
blocks over.
Other signs pasted on empty
storefronts included a fake Donald Trump campaign sign, a poster
advertising a concert by a mythical
Greek vocalist, Tony Kliftonopoulis,
and a sign for an “Astoria Needle Exchange.”
Reports and community leaders
were not able to determine who was
behind the spoofs, and what their intended message was.
In an interview with the Astoria
Post, Community Board member Antonio Meloni said the signs were a
“commentary on something – we don’t
know quite what.”
Waves of Newcomers
This isn’t the first time the neighborhood has undergone changes in
recent history. While the Greek immigrants from the 1960s and 1970s
define Astoria for many, the neighborhood had a strong Italian flavor
before that. It isn’t just Europeans
that call the neighborhood home.
Steinway houses “Little Egypt,” and
many Latinos live in the neighborhood as well.
Michael Falsetta, a new development analyst and Executive Vice
President at Miller Cicero, said the
current wave of real estate interest
and development in Astoria is the
third, following one in the early 1990s
and one in the 2000s.
Rising Rents
Accompanying that interest is an
increase in rents.
“I know for a fact that they are up
significantly in the last three years,”
Falsetta said.
He said the housing boom was a
factor.
‘The retail in this neighborhood
is being pulled along by the fact that
there has been a lot of development,”
Falsetta said.
Development, both retail and residential, under the N/Q “el” train on 31st
Street “is a symbol of the pressure and
lack of available land in the heart of the
neighborhood,” he added.
Pinto agreed.
“It’s very expensive. Five years
ago it wasn’t that expensive,” he
said.
Fillipides Prodromos, from the
Pontion Society Komninoi, said he
heard a rumor that the corner once
occupied by Lefkos Pirgos – and
replaced by Time Warner Cable
– would be rented for $38,000 a
month. That price would include the
three additional storefronts adjacent
to the old Lefkos Pirgos, which are
owned by the same landlord as the
former cafe. The rumored price was
not confirmed.
The anecdote raises the question
as to whether the neighborhood’s
small businesses might be at risk.
National chains are typically the only
kind of businesses that can afford to
pay such high rents. At some point,
even those businesses can tap out,
as Tim Wu, Professor and former
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
reported for the New Yorker in May.
In May, Wu wrote about how
“High-rent blight,” the New Yorker
investigated why the thriving, expensive neighborhoods like Manhattan’s
West Village can become plagued by
empty storefronts, that may stay that
way for years at a time.
“If you’re a landlord, why would
you keep renting to a local café or
restaurant at five thousand or ten
thousand dollars a month when you
might get twenty thousand or even
forty thousand dollars a month from
Chase?” Wu wrote.
Wu said that when corporate
chains are able to outbid small businesses, the local economy suffers.
“The area may become merely an
importer of goods and services supplied by CVS or Dunkin’ Donuts,” he
wrote, “local wealth isn’t created.”
Supporting Small Business
At the moment, Astoria doesn’t
seem to be overwhelmed by either
empty storefronts or national chains
–despite the high turnover. But that
is not to say that local small businesses don’t need support.
Councilman Costa Constantinides
(D-Astoria) said that he was focused
on keeping rents affordable for small
business owners and residents. So
far, residential rents rather than com-
mercial rents have been the overwhelming concern.
“It’s the number one call that I
get in my district – by far – not even
close,” he stressed.
But Constantinides said rising
rents affect small businesses too.
“The issue of commercial rents,
the issue of affordability is widespread, it’s about commercial rent,
and about residential,” he said, adding that his office would be focusing
on the issue.
The Councilman said he allocated $22,000 from the City Council’s
Neighborhood Development Grant
initiative toward maintaining and
supporting businesses on the Steinway Street strip, which runs perpendicular to Ditmars, about ten blocks
east of the N/Q subway line.
He said that that despite affordability issues, it was a great time for
small businesses on Ditmars.
“Small businesses are growing at a very rapid pace,” Constantinides said, citing the examples of
local businesses that took off like 60
Beans, Bare Burger, Brooklyn Bagel,
The Bonnie, The Thirsty Koala and
Tru.
“We’re seeing a lot of really interesting restaurants popping up on
Ditmars,” he said, “It’s just a matter
of making sure we have the services
to support them.”
Constantinides even noted that
some of the chains, like CVS and
Fabco, had closed or been replaced
with local shops.
Falsetta noted that Ditmars Boulevard businesses are still heterogenous. “There’s a real mixed bag
of stuff there,” he said. But he predicted upstart businesses might end
up concentrating under the train, or
in less commercially developed parts
of Astoria, like 14th Street, or 21st
street, if rents keep rising.
Embracing Change
Florence Koulouris, district manager at Community Board 1, echoed
the sentiment that small businesses
were thriving in the neighborhood.
“Right now Astoria’s the hottest place; it’s the center of the universe,” she said. “Ditmars is growing
by leaps and bounds, and has a lot
to offer someone who is interested
in coming into Astoria, because it’s
fresh, it’s new, and it’s reinventing
itself.”
Koulouris said the changes benefited both residents and business
owners looking for a new location.
“Astoria right now is a win-win,”
she said.
Asked about the danger of older
businesses being priced out, she
said she wanted to focus on the positive. She also dismissed concerns
that the neighborhood was losing its
authentic Greek character.
“We have every single ethnic
group here. It’s not like the 60s and
the 70s when you have groups of
one. You see a co-mingling of everyone, and we like it that way,” Koulouris said.

ritvik taneja, who was the
valedictorian of the class of 2015
and is attending cornell University, reflected on his experience at
xaverian, saying, “at xaverian, we
found no limits. no barriers. no
obstacles. xaverian taught us that
the greatest restriction we can
place on ourselves is what we expect of ourselves. as we grew and
matured, we saw these expectations begin to parallel our desires
for achievement. the timid and
apprehensive boys we once were
became outgoing and determined
men. Whether it be men that play
it out on the field, convey their
own messages through music, or
work to coach and mentor the under and upperclassmen of today,
we all have grown to embody what
it means to be a part of xaverian.
and what that means is to be fearless but respectful, to be altruistic
and givers of hope in a world that
is in need of such light.”

Rethinking Breast Cancer Treatment
In the United States, one in five
new breast cancer cases is stage
0 disease, but for Amy Thigpen, a
mother of three who works in an oncology clinic, breast cancer is not a
statistic; it is personal. After all, her
mother is a breast cancer survivor,
and later she too faced-off with a
similar diagnosis.
After Thigpen’s mother was diagnosed with early-stage invasive breast cancer, Thigpen was
determined to be proactive about
her breast health. She had a feeling something was not right and
requested a mammogram from
her doctors at the age of 34, even
though clinical practice guidelines
do not recommend screening before
the age of 50. The mammogram
found a small tumor that was confined to the milk ducts; fortunately,
it had not spread to the surrounding
tissue. At that point, Thigpen faced
her diagnosis - stage 0 breast cancer, known as ductal carcinoma in
situ, or DCIS.
An oncology nurse, Thigpen
worked alongside a breast cancer
specialist and had seen many patients battle the disease and struggle
with the many decisions that had to
be made - including whether or not to
pursue post-surgery treatment. After
caring for so many cancer patients
over the years, Thigpen now was speaking with her doctors
about a difficult decision of her own, as it
was not clear whether her cancer would
come back and if
she needed radiation
therapy.
Thigpen was familiar with genomic testing and
a tool doctors
sometimes used
to guide treatment decisions.
Her mother had
received the Oncotype DX test for
her invasive breast
cancer and used the
test
results to help inform her decision of
whether she needed chemotherapy.
Inspired by her mother’s experience,
Thigpen talked to her doctor about
genomic testing, and since the Oncotype DX test was now available and
validated to provide the 10-year risk
of an invasive or a DCIS local recurrence in DCIS patients, they decided
to move forward. The Oncotype DX
DCIS Score result has been shown
to change treatment recommendations in 30 percent of patients and
Breast Cancer survivor Amy Thigpen.
doctors rank it as the most important
factor in treatment planning for DCIS
patients.
When Thigpen received her Oncotype DX test results, her DCIS
Score result was zero. “ The test
probably saved me from having to
go through six weeks of radiation
that my body really did not need, as
well as the side effects that it can
cause.”
“When a woman is diagnosed with
DCIS, my goal as a physician is to
accurately assess her individual risk
for cancer returning so we can define and personalize an appropriate
treatment plan with greater confidence,” said Michael Alvarado, M.D.,
breast cancer surgeon, the University of California, San Francisco Helen
Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer
Center. Reflecting on a UCSF-led
study of the clinical utility of the Oncotype DX test for DCIS, Alvarado
added that that test was “an objective
biomarker that provides independent
information beyond what has been
available to physicians before, which
can be seen as the biggest advancement in the management of DCIS in
more than a decade.”
To encourage other women to
pursue personalized treatment,
Thigpen decided to share her story
on MyBreastCancerTreatment.org,
a patient education resource providing information around breast
cancer and the benefits of genomic
testing. The tools, resources and eligibility quiz offered on this website
enable patients and their loved ones
to empower themselves with information about their specific cancer
and work with their doctor to confidently select a treatment plan that
can guide personalized treatment
decisions based on their individual
tumor.

Four Foods To Ease Stiffness and Chronic Pain
By Joanne Barry
Did you know that millions of
Americans suffer from chronic pain
related to headaches, back pain,
foot pain, shoulder pain, joint pain
and arthritis
Research shows that by getting
a good night sleep, stretching daily,
participating in daily strengthening
exercises for upper and lower extremities and eating a healthy low fat
diet that is low in sugar, white flour
and avoiding processed foods may
help decrease stiffness and chronic
pain.
As a Certified Personal Trainer for
more than 25 years and specializing
in Nutrition Coaching, I know firsthand the benefits of a well-balanced
low fat diet. I recommend the following four foods to help decrease stiffness and chronic pain.
Olive Oil
Studies revealed that a compound
in the oil called oleocanthal prevents
the production of inflammatory COX-1
and COX-2 enzymes, the same way
ibuprofen works. Extra- virgin olive
oil has additional benefits for heart
health, bone loss and neurological
diseases affecting the brain, spine,
muscles and connecting nerves. A
serving of 3 1/2 Tbsp of oil is equal
to a 200-mg tablet of ibuprofen. Be
aware that this serving of olive oil is
equal to 400 calories. So, it’s a good
idea to use in moderation.
Ginger
Ginger has been used for thousands of years to help treat colds,
nausea, migraines, hypertension,
digestive issues and stiffness and
chronic pain. What makes ginger
so helpful? Ginger has
anti-inflammatory, antiulcer and antioxidants
activities, as well as a
small amount of analgesic property. I recommend boiling one cup
of water and using pure
ginger root and chop- Ginger
ping up in small pieces.
root
For additional flavor,
add one small cube of
brown sugar and make a soothing
tea. For best result, drink first thing
in the morning on a empty stomach.
Onions and Garlic
Research shows that onions and
garlic are among the richest source
of flavonoids – plant chemicals and
fight inflammation in rheumatic con-
ditions. Garlic cloves contain plant
chemicals that shut down inflammatory pathways in ways similar to
ibuprofen. Onions have a wealth of
health benefits they are anti-allergic,
anti-histaminic,
anti-inflammatory,
and antioxidants.
Onions are also beneficial for the
following:
• Lower Risk of Cancer
• Heart Health
• Bones, Digestive Tract, Diabetes Prevention and more
Water
Has it occurred to you that you are
thirsty? By time you get the desire
to drink water, you are already dehydrated. That thirst is your body calling for re-hydration.
Your body is composed of 60 percent
water. How important
is drinking water?
• Without drinking
water you will die. We
can live a few days
without water, maybe
a week. We can live
much longer without
food.
• Prevents cancer: staying hydrated can reduce risk of colon cancer
by 45%, bladder cancer by 50% and
possibly reduce breast cancer risk
as well.
• Be less cranky: Research says
dehydration can affect your mood
and may cause you to be confused
• Perform Better: Proper hydra-
tion contributes to increase athletic
performance. Our muscles tissues
are composed of 75 percent water.
Dehydration can lead to weakness,
fatigue, dizziness, cramping and
electrolyte imbalances
• Have less joint pain: Drinking
water can reduce pain in your joints
by keeping the cartilage soft and
hydrated. This is how glucosamine
helps reduce joint pain, by aiding in
cartilage’s absorption of water.
• Feed your body: Water is essential for the proper circulation of
nutrients in the body. When we are
dehydrated we just can’t get around
as well.
How much water should you
drink? Drink half your body weight
in ounces of water (if you weigh 200
pounds, drink 100 ounces of water
each day) If you participate in daily
physical activities drink an additional
8oz of water for every 20 minutes of
physical activities. Be sure to drink
water throughout the day to avoid
dehydration.
The benefits of drinking lukewarm
or warm water:
• Drink room temperature or warm
water: For optimal health drink warm
water instead of cold to help slow
down your heart rate and decrease
body temperature.
• Relieves pain: A cup of warm
water can soothe your headache or
any other joint pain. Heat improves

What Do You Know About Social Security?
Americans may have faith in the
Social Security system, but many
still don’t really understand how it
works. That’s a key take-away from
a recent survey of Americans’ knowledge of Social Security retirement
benefits. While 63 percent of respondents said they do believe Social
Security benefits will be available to
them when they retire, many were
confused about who qualifies for
benefits, how much they’ll be eligible
to receive, and when they can start
drawing benefits without penalty.
The survey, by Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company
(MassMutual), included a true/false
quiz about Social Security facts. Just
28 percent of those surveyed scored
a passing grade, and only one person out of the 1,500 polled was able
to answer all survey questions correctly. The survey results illustrated
a significant lack of knowledge about
Social Security, including:
• Although 75 percent of those
surveyed thought being an American
citizen is a requirement to receive
Social Security retirement benefits,
this is not the case. Non-citizens lawfully living in the U.S., and who have
permission to work here, can obtain
a Social Security number, pay into
the Social Security system and draw
benefits.
• More than seven in 10 respondents mistakenly thought that 65 is
the age when everyone can begin
drawing full retirement benefits.
Actually, your full retirement age
depends on what year you were
born.
• Fifty-five percent of those surveyed incorrectly believed they could
continue working during retirement
while collecting full Social Security
benefits, regardless of their age.
If you work during retirement, but
have not yet reached your full retirement age, your Social Security benefits may be reduced if you earn too
much. Once you reach full retirement
age, those withheld benefits will be
repaid over your lifetime.
“Perhaps the greatest Social Security deficit in this country is the
lack of education around the retirement benefits of the program,” says
Michael R. Fanning, executive vice
president, U.S. Insurance Group,
MassMutual. “With millions of Americans nearing retirement each year,
many may be at risk of underutilizing
a critical component of their retirement income stream.”
Still, some good news emerged
from the survey. Americans seem
aware that Social Security should be
only one component of their overall
retirement savings plan. Just 39 percent said they expected to rely more
on Social Security than their personal
savings or income during retirement,
and just 15 percent expected to rely
solely on Social Security.
You can test your Social Security
knowledge by taking the MassMutual
quiz.
Here are some Social Security
facts to help improve your knowledge:
* No single filing strategy works
for everyone filing for Social Security benefits; there are just too many
variables. For example, a married
couple may have hundreds of options for filing for Social Security retirement benefits.
* Americans are living longer. It’s
no longer sufficient to plan for just
10 years of retirement. You may well
need savings and income to carry
you for three decades or longer.
* While Social Security can be an
important component of your retirement plan, you need to have other
income as well. Under- or over-valuing your Social Security retirement
benefits could keep you from getting a true picture of your retirement
savings plans. A qualified financial
professional can better help you understand how Social Security fits into
your personal situation.

• Drinking lemon water: Drinking
lemon water daily may decrease
the levels of acidity within the body,
which is where disease is most likely to occur. It works to remove uric

joint pain and inflammation. It’s best
to drink lemon water in the winter at

Queens Restaurant Week Kicks Off In Glendale
By Jon Cronin
Staff Writer
Like flies to honey, consumers were
drawn to the intoxicating aroma of
the borough’s buffet at the Atlas Park
Common that kicked off the 12th Annual Queens Restaurant Week at noon
on Monday.
Five restaurants and the Queens
Brewery gave away free samples of their
food and beverages to an estimated 300
passers-by on the common.
To satisfy eager Queens foodies
there was: Jamaica’s Vintage Curry,
Astoria’s Christos’ Steak House, and
Maspeth’s Connolly’s Corner, and two
restaurants from The Shops at Atlas
Park: Shiro of Japan and Chili’s as well
as Queens Brewery handing out liquid
refreshment.
The Queens Tourism Council is
sponsoring the two week event which
runs Monday through Thursday beginning on Oct. 12 and ending Oct. 23.
It will be up to each establishments’
owners if they want to offer the discount specials on weekdays, weekends
or both. A list of participants are at
itsinqueens/restaurantweek.com. The
prices will be $14 for lunch and $28 for
a three course dinner, although some
owners may choose to count wine as
a course.
“ This is NYC’s most delicious
bargain, as there truly is something
for every taste bud,” added Queens
Economic Development Corporation
Executive Director Seth Bornstein
“Plus, it fits in perfectly with the
Queens Tourism Council’s mission to
inform on the borough’s wonderful
places to eat, shop, enjoy culture and
have family fun.”
Borenstein said, “This is just a tiny
sample of what’s out there in the borough of Queens.”
State Senator Joe Addabbo (DHoward Beach) said our palettes are
fortunate because, “This is the most
diverse borough with the most diverse
restaurants.”
Queens Brewery founder Nelson D.
Rockefeller was
happily handing
out their signature brew, Queens
Lager, and even
samples to a select
few of their new
beer called Queens
Boulevard. He
added that Queens
Brewery will be
opening a location
in Ridgewood at
1539 Covert St.
The 2,500 square
foot beer hall with
brewery on the first
floor and more on
the second. Rockefeller hopes it will be
open by St. Patrick’s Day 2016.
The owners of Vintage Curry in
Jamaica also catered samples to a long
line of passers-by on the common.
“We just opened six months ago,” said
Sarwar Chowdhury, who co-owns the
restaurant with business partner Jewel
Ahmed.
He exclaimed, “I t houg ht we
brought too much, but I wish I brought
more!”
Borough President Melinda Katz
said in a press statement, “One of the
reasons we are known as ‘The World’s
Borough’ is that our amazing diversity
allows us to offer an incredible variety
of the best dishes from around the
world,” adding, “Queens Restaurant
Week is a great way to highlight this
fact and encourage both borough
residents and visitors to enjoy some
of this outstanding cuisine. I hope
everyone will take advantage of this
great opportunity to enjoy some really
amazing food!”

A Night With Narcissus In Astoria This Friday
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
Fans of Greek culture can rejoice as
poets, singers, and actors dramatize the
Greek myth of Narcissus in Astoria on
Friday night.
The night’s entertainment, appropriate for all ages, will drive up on the
POEMobile, a “wildy-decorated art
truck covered with poems and wings,”
Steve Zeitlin from City Lore, one of the
event’s organizers, said.
The free event is part of the larger
Onassis Festival NY, which runs Oct. 8
through the 11th and includes lectures,
performances, literature, music and
more. The theme this year is “Narcissus
Now: The Myth Reimagined.”
Zeitlin said the theme was meant
to encourage reflection on “the selfabsorption that people have these days,”
apparent in phenomena like our “selfie”
culture.
The word Narcissism, of course,
stems from the Greek myth of Narcissus, which is about a young man who
falls in love with his reflection in a pool
of water.
The POEMobile belongs to City
Lore, an organization that “documents,
presents, and advocates for grassroots
cultures.” Their truck, which comes
equipped with a high-powered projector that displays the poems onto buildings, has visited ethnic communities
all over the city and engaged with their
stories and art.
Friday’s event will be MCed by
Greek American poet Dean Kostos, a
winner of the Benjamin Saltman poetry
award.
Kostos will read a few of his own
poems, as well as some poems on the
theme of Narcissus and other Greek
myths.
He will be joined by the Queens Poet
Laureate Maria Lisella.
Two-time Obie Award winner Dennis Boutsikaris will also dramatize
several Narcissus-related poems, as
will Martha Tompoulidou, who has
worked with the National Theater of
Greece.
Tompoulidou will read poems in
Greek as well as English, while a special
software will make the projected words
morph from Greek to English as she
reads them.
Lastly, the band Mighty Third Rail
will play music on the theme of Narcissus as well.
The New York City-based trio mixes
hip hop, poetry, beat boxing, violin,
and upright base, and has performed
all over the city from Blue Note to the
Apollo, event organizer Sahar Muradi
said.
The festivities start at 8 p.m. at the
Hellenic Federations’ Stathakion Center, 22-51 29th St., Astoria. The performances will be followed by a simple
reception inside the center.

St. John’s Reels In Guard Shamorie Ponds

Chris Mullin has vowed to dominate
the New York City’s recruiting trail
in order to build the program back

Ponds averaged 16.1 points and 2.9
assists per game while finishing second on the circuit in steals due to his
quick hands and defensive speed.

Yogi Berra (1925-2015)
Mets Greats Remember Former Manager
By DaviD russell
The late Yogi Berra is in the Hall
of Fame for his iconic career with
the Yankees, but the quotable catcher also played, coached, and managed for the Mets. Berra, who died
on September 22, was the first-base
coach on the 1969 Mets championship team and also managed the
1973 team to the World Series.
“As everyone knows, Yogi was a
very nice and humble man,” said Rod
Gaspar, a Mets outfielder from 196970. “He fit in very well with the 1969
Mets. Who else should coach first for
our team, but Yogi? We treated him
and the other coaches, Eddie Yost,
Joe Pignatano and Rube Walker like
teammates.”
Berra actually came to Queens as
a player-coach, following his surprising firing after leading the Yankees
to the 1964 World Series. Yogi collected two hits in four games before
retiring as a player. Ron Swoboda
was hitting behind the legend. “I’m
standing on deck and there’s a fastball at his eyes and he just ripped it
up the middle,” said Swoboda, a Met
from 1965-70. “This is not a game
that I’m familiar with.”
Yogi coached under Casey Stengel, Wes Westrum and Gil Hodges.
“I never got the sense that Westrum
was as permanent as Yogi was,” Swoboda said. “He was so popular in
New York even though it was the
Mets.”
Just how popular was Berra?
“There was a kid who ran on the
team bus and asked Ralph Kiner if
he could get him Yogi’s autograph,”
Swoboda said. “Or sometimes people would ask us if we could get them
Yogi’s autograph.”
Ed Charles was the oldest member of the 1969 Mets, and actually
played against Berra in the American League. “Yogi was the type of
guy that you could approach very
easily,” said Charles, the Mets third
baseman from 1967-69. “If you had
a question or two he could help you
improve your game. When I played
with Kansas City we feared Berra
more than we did Mickey Mantle in
a clutch situation. Mickey had a tendency to strike out. Yogi could hit
the ball if it was in the dirt or if it
was over his head he’d hit it.”

closing ceremonies after the last
game at Shea Stadium in 2008,

Yankees, before serving as a first
base coach and manager at Shea

1970s.
with Berra. “I’d bring cigarettes to
the clubhouse and I’d stash them.
I’d count them and I noticed I’m
missing quite a few cigarettes. I later
found out Yogi was the one who was
having a puff or two between in-
nings. We’d always exchange Christmas cards. One card I told him that
I want him to reimburse me for the
cigarettes. We’d laugh and tease each
other. He was one of the best people
that anyone could meet.”
Berra didn’t brag about his Hall
of Fame career or 10 World Series
titles. “Yogi never came at you with
‘I’ve seen great teams’”, Swoboda
said. “He came at you as Yogi. He
was a completely authentic character. Sometimes he did act like English was his second language.”
There was a game in Cincinnati where Swoboda hit what looked
like a grand slam, as the ball hit the
wooden extension above the yellow
line but the umpires said it didn’t.
Yogi told the umpires ‘if you couldn’t
hear the ball hit the wood, then you
must be blind’.
Gaspar was at a card show with
another 1969 Met when he asked
Berra to sign a couple of baseballs.
“He looked up and said, ‘sure’. Then
he said, ‘Gee Rod, you’re getting taller’. That was Yogi. Quite a guy.”
“Yogi was one of the best that
New York had to offer,” Charles said.
“Rest in peace my buddy.”
