A primary responsibility of being a parent is diligently protecting
the safety and well-being of your
children. We spend a lot of time
teaching our kids techniques for
navigating dangerous situations,
scrutinizing the individuals and
institutions we temporarily entrust
them to, showing them how to eat
right, looking after their personal
hygiene and so on. When it comes
to a rising new concern that could
potentially contribute to a host of
health complications, we owe it to
ourselves, and our kids, to listen
and learn.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are
a form of radiation or invisible area
of energy associated with the modern use of electrical power. Common sources of EMF radiation
include power lines, computers,
cell phones and wireless Internet
(Wi-Fi) networks. While most of
us over the years have probably
heard rumblings of the possibilities of negative health effects attributed to high levels of exposure
to EMFs, little definitive word has
reached the mainstream stamping
it as a legitimate concern. But in
a world in which experts estimate
we encounter 100 million times
the exposure to artificial EMF radiation than our grandparents did,
there’s never been a more critical
time to take a closer look.
A Voice of Warning
One person who has been
fighting to get the word out about
pervasive negative health implications relating to EMFs and
Wi-Fi in schools is Camilla Rees.
An investment banker by trade,
Rees realized she has a particular
sensitivity to EMFs about seven
years ago. Since then, she’s dedicated herself to learning as much
as possible about the science and
research regarding EMF exposure
and relating the facts in everyday
terms people can understand,
founding electromagnetichealth.
org along the way.
“It’s hard once you know
something that is very important
happening to society to turn a
blind eye to it,” says Rees, who
feels certain EMF radiation poses a
threat. “You have to ethically move
to educate people, raise awareness
and try to move things in the right
direction.” And with institutions
ranging from daycare centers and
grammar schools all the way up to
colleges and universities racing to
remain on the cutting edge by upgrading to campus-wide, industrial
strength Wi-Fi, there’s a growing
number of concerned individuals
desperate to get to the truth.
What We Know About EMFs
According to Rees, the first
thing to understand about this
complex and often controversial
topic is radio frequency radiation is
biologically active. “We know for
certain, it’s absolutely unquestionable,” she says, citing more than
20,000 studies.
“We think of ourselves as solid
beings, but we’re actually electromagnetic,” Rees explains. “And
when there’s an energy source
that’s more powerful than the
delicate balance in our bodies, it
causes disruptions. So as a result,
you’re going to see every system
potentially being affected.”
From cancer risks and behavioral changes to cardiovascular
irregularities and sleep disorders,
Rees offers a laundry list of related
concerns that includes many of the
most prevalent medical conditions
plaguing our society. “Chronic illnesses have skyrocketed since the
mid-1990s when all this technology started to proliferate,” says
Rees.
Martha Herbert, an assistant
professor of neurology at Harvard
Medical School and a pediatric
neurologist and neuroscientist at
Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston, contributed an article
to the Autism Notebook Spring
2015 edition, titled “Connections
in Our Environment: Sizing up
Electromagnetic Fields,” in which
she details documented parallel
issues that occur in cases of EMF
exposure and autism. “There is a
whole series of problems at the
cellular, sub-cellular and metabolic
levels and immune levels that have
been identified in autism. And
interestingly, for every single one
of those problems, there’s literature
about how EMFs can create those
kinds of problems,” says Herbert.
“The argument I made is not that
it proves EMF causes autism, but
that EMF can certainly contribute
to degrading the physiological integrity of the system at the cellular
and molecular level.”
by Brian Spero
She sees this type of radio
frequency radiation as yet another
element encountered in modern
life, along with toxic chemicals,
air pollution, stress, poor sleep and
pro-inflammatory foods, which
serve to degrade our health.
Why Is Wi-Fi in Schools Worse?
One might wonder why should I
worry more about Wi-Fi in schools
when radio frequency radiation
today is pretty much everywhere?
Rees would answer the growing
levels of EMF exposure in everyday life is, in fact, a reality all
of us will sooner or later need to
confront. However, its persistent
presence in schools, among children at the developmental stages
who are most vulnerable to all
forms of toxic exposures, is the
first ingredient in a recipe for a
perfect storm.
The second lies in the fact that
industrial-strength Wi-Fi routers
schools typically use are much
more powerful than the ones you
find at home. “These 5GHz routers
are designed to go through cement,
brick and to cover the campus,
too,” says Rees, adding they’re also
higher wattage and configured to
be able to serve hundreds of users
simultaneously.
Finally, there’s what Rees
describes as the continuous exposures and cumulative, chronic
effect of being bathed in EMF
radiation eight hours a day, five
days a week, 10 months a year.
“This beautifully balanced body
we have is being pushed by this
outside energy source that’s perceived as a stressor. Your body
(Continued from page 1)
needs to rebalance, it needs to rest
and repair,” she says.
Rees points to studies confirming students and teachers experiencing signs of chronic electrosensitivity ranging from fatigue,
headaches and irritability to visual
disruption, depression, dizziness
and nausea. Says Rees, “There’s
just a lot of cognitive and physical
fatigue and therefore it impairs
learning. How can someone really
learn or teach in an environment
where their head feels fuzzy and
foggy and their reflexes are slow?”
Herbert says high levels of
EMF exposure make us all, but
especially children, less resilient
and more vulnerable. “(Kids) don’t
need any more extra stressors in
their system. When they’re more
stressed, they will probably be less
attentive, more likely to have behavioral outbursts, learn less well
and possibly get sicker depending
on their vulnerabilities,” she says.
“But no matter what resilience
you have, it’s still eating away at
your resources. Nobody is immune
from EMF.”
Why Isn’t More Being Done?
Rees contends in many cases
schools across the country are in
denial about the negative effects
of EMFs. She says they’re relying
on the National Association of
Independent Schools (NAIS) to
give them the green light, which it
recently did in what Rees describes
as a woefully inadequate report.
She wrote a scathing critique of
it, maintaining that the report was
poorly researched and dismissive
of the facts.
“Everybody has been sold a
bill of goods,” says Rees. “There’s
been so much publicity and promotion and propaganda about how
exciting technology is and how
it’s so good for learning. But a lot
of that isn’t true. And a lot of that
is just marketing.” Herbert agrees,
pointing to the increasing learning
troubles children today exhibit in
schools. “We think we’re putting in
all these Wi-Fi devices so they can
learn better, but you’re giving with
one hand and taking away with the
other,” she says.
Rees believes schools don’t
want to go against the grain or
admit they might have been wrong,
especially when they just raised
money to put in Wi-Fi and have
to go back to donors acknowledging it was a bad choice. However,
she says there are many countries
around the world and a growing
movement here in the U.S. taking
steps to protect children from EMF
radiation. From a hard-won ordinance recently passed in Berkeley,
California, demanding electronics
retailers warn customers of potential health risks associated with
cell phone radiation to groups of
parents organizing locally across
the nation, voices of concern are
starting to be heard.
What Can You Do?
Rees urges parents to band
together and request schools do a
thorough evaluation of the research
and look at what the science is really saying. “There’s a hunger for
the truth on this issue,” says Rees

Patrolman Phillip Caudillo Way Becomes Reality
The New York City Council
unanimously voted to pass my bill
which will co-name 28th Avenue,
outside the new police academy
in College Point, in honor of
Patrolman Phillip Cardillo who
tragically lost his life in the line
of duty. Soon, generations of new
officers will be able to look to
the sign and know his story and
legacy to the department. May
this sign forever remind us of the
sacrifices that the men and women
of the NYPD are too often asked
to selflessly make, as well as serve
as a symbol that these sacrifices
are never forgotten. This recognition has been long overdue and I
couldn’t be more proud to right
the wrongs from 43 years ago. I
look forward to standing proudly
at the street co-naming ceremony
with Patrolman Cardillo’s family
and all those who have fought to
honor his memory.

50th Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid F
Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,
the Bronx), Vice Chair of the
Democratic Caucus, released the
statement below on the 50th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid:
“For 50 years, Medicare and
Medicaid have provided more
than just a safety net – they have
provided a lifeline to millions of
Americans. These programs serve
those who are most in need, and
they have made a tremendous difference in the lives of so many, but
also a difference in how we think
about our social responsibility in
this country.
“We have moved so far from
the days when seniors were going
without health care because they
couldn’t afford insurance, and from
the days when working families
worried about how to get health
care for their children. Now we
must keep that going for the next
generation.
“With Medicare and Medicaid,
we made a promise that we will
take care of those who need health
care the most – a promise we continued with the Affordable Care
Act, but our work is far from done.
“I will fight to ensure that the
next 50 years are marked by the
same kind of progress and commitment to strengthening health care
in this country as the last 50 years.
I promise to stand up to those who
would do away with the guarantee
of Medicare, who would undermine Medicaid, and who would
shred our nation’s social safety net
into threads.
“Today, as we celebrate Medicare and Medicaid, let us renew
our promise to protect, improve,
and expand these vital programs.”
NYS Tax Department Reminds Parents and College Students
of Sales Tax Exemption as Back to School Shopping Begins
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
kicked off the back to school
shopping season today by reminding New Yorkers that qualifying
clothing and footwear purchases
are exempt from New York sales
tax year-round. While many states
offer “sales tax holidays” leading
up to the school year, New York
has a constant exemption from
the State’s 4% sales tax on items
of clothing and footwear sold for
less than $110.
“The back to school shopping
season is underway and, in New
York State, every day is a sales
tax holiday with shoppers getting
a break on clothing and footwear
items sold for under $110,” New
York State Commissioner of
Taxation and Finance Jerry Boone
said. “This exemption leads to big
savings for parents and consumers
leading up to the school year and
year-round.”
Through this exemption, all
shoppers are free from paying the
State’s 4% sales tax. In addition,
in New York City and the eight
counties listed below, clothing
and footwear items under $110
are exempt from local sales tax
year-round. The savings available
in these localities, including State
and local sales taxes, is between 7
½% and 8 7/8%.
The state exemption alone saves
New York shoppers more than
$876 million annually. Together,
savings from the state and local
sales tax exemptions is well over
$1 billion annually.

32nd Annual “National Night Out Against Crime”
District Attorney Richard A.
Brown will tour many Queens
County neighborhoods tomorrow
night to help highlight observances
of the 32nd annual “National Night
Out Against Crime.” The special
anti-crime event is observed across
New York City including Queens
County with a full schedule of
events ranging from crime prevention lectures to youth activities.
District Attorney Brown said,
“More than three decades ago violent crime ran rampant throughout
New York City and ‘National Night
Out Against Crime’ was established
as a way for law-abiding citizens to
symbolically reclaim their streets.
In the intervening years that symbolism has become a reality as the
crime rate has fallen to record lows
and people can once more enjoy
all that this great city has to offer
without fear.”
The District Attorney added,
“Today, National Night Out remains
an important reminder of the need
to remain vigilant in the fight for
public safety and also provides
Queens County residents with a
wonderful opportunity to meet with
the police officers and law enforcement officials who protect their
neighborhoods and who are largely
responsible for the sharp reduction
in violent crime over the years and
the significant improvement in the
quality of life.”
District Attorney Brown will
attend events at various locations
across Queens County tomorrow
and will be joined at the Queens
host precinct by Mayor Bill de
Blasio and New York City Police
Commissioner William J. Bratton.
Among the events District Attorney Brown is expected to attend
include:
• The 112th Precinct commanded
by Deputy Inspector Judith Harrison will gather at MacDonald Park
(Queens Boulevard and Yellowstone Boulevard) and their program
will include music, entertainment
and refreshments.
• The 107th Precinct commanded
by Captain Paul Valerga will hold
their observance at the Electchester
Shopping Center where there will
be live music, BBQ, games and
representatives of the New York
Hospital of Queens Blood Donor
Center;
• The 103rd Precinct commanded
by Deputy Inspector John G. Capplemann will celebrate this years’
event at Rufus King Park located
at 150th -153rd Street & Jamaica
Avenue where they will present
the P.O. Charles Davis Award to
Sgt. John Schroeder PBQs Special
Operations.

SEE BIG MOVIES AT MOMI by Merle Exit
See It Big!, an ongoing series organized by Reverse Shot
editors Michael Koresky and Jeff
Reichert, Chief Curator David
Schwartz, and Assistant Film
Curator Aliza Ma is going high
resolution with 70mm films August 7-40. Most of the features are
“Sci-fi”; all are legendary varying
in category.
Although most of the features
are “oldies”, there are two are
more currently dated. Interstellar,
for instance, directed by Christopher Nolan is dated 2014. It stars
Matthew McConaughey, Anne
Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain.
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar
is a stunningly realized sciencefiction epic set in a near future
where environmental problems
have rendered the Earth uninhabitable, and scientists are planning
to transport the population to a
new planet via a wormhole. With
philosophical, cinematic, and
narrative ambition reminiscent
of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A
Space Odyssey, Interstellar is an
immersive and exhilarating film
experience that captures Nolan’s
love for large-format celluloid
film. Friday, August 28, 7pm;
Saturday, August 29, 6pm; Sunday
August 30, 6pm.
The Master, directed by Paul
Thomas Anderson was made in
2012 and starring Philip SeymourHoffman, Amy Adams and Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix, Hoffman,
and Adams all received Oscar
nominations for their performances in this spellbinding saga
of post–World War II America.
Phoenix creates the unforgettable
Freddie Quell, a wayward soul
who falls under the spell of a spiritual guru, who may or may not be
a huckster. In this haunting drama,
Anderson creates one mysterious,
richly evocative image after another. Saturday, August 29, 2pm;
Sunday, August 30, 6pm.
Three Sci-Fi favorites. 2001:
A Space Odyssey, directed by
Stanley Kubrick, 1968 with Keir
Dullea is brilliantly engineered
as the space program itself. Kubrick’s mysterious and profound
epic, “the ultimate trip” is about
nothing less than the beauty and
banality of civilization, blending
cool satire, an elaborate vision of
the future, and passages of avantgarde cinematic inventiveness.
Friday, August 7, 7 pm; Saturday,
August 8, 2 pm, Sunday, August
8, 2pm.
Cult favorite Tron, directed
by Steven Lisberger, 1982, stars
Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner,
David Warner, Cindy Morgan, and
Barnard Hughes. Groundbreaking
for its pioneering use of computer
graphics, the cult favorite Tron follows rebel computer programmer
Kevin Flynn as he is scanned and
transported into an autocratic universe of zipping vectors and shiny
surfaces, somewhere inside of the
computer mainframe. An expensive and risky venture for Disney
at the time, TRON is notable for
its sophisticated sets and elaborate
costumes designed by renowned
French comic-book artist Moebius
(Alien, 1979), but perhaps its true
innovation lies in its extensive use
of 3-D CGI combined with photographic images. Friday, August 14,
7pm; Saturday, August 15, 7pm,
Sunday, August 16, 7pm
Brainstorm was the last performance by Natalie Wood, who died
during the making of the film.
Directed by Douglas Trumbull.
This 1983 science-fiction thriller
is about a device that can record
thoughts and dreams features
stunning visual effects to portray
telepathic experiences, cutting
between widescreen and standard
size. Saturday, August 8, 6pm;
Sunday August 9, 6pm
It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World was directed by Stanley
Kramer, 1963. It stars Spencer
Tracy, Edie Adams, Milton Berle,
Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney,
Dick Shawn, Buddy Hackett and
Jonathan Winter. This epic Hollywood comedy is a three-hour-plus
extravaganza of slapstick with a
wild plot about a hunt for buried
treasure. August 15, 2pm
Another classic, Lawrence of
Arabia, directed by David Lean,
1962 stars Peter O’ Toole, Omar
Sharif, Alec Guinness, Anthony
Quinn. The apex of David Lean’s
magnificent career was this unparalleled spectacle which won seven
Oscars, including Best Picture,
and rocketed Peter O’Toole to
stardom as real-life adventurer
T. E. Lawrence, a former British
officer whose expedition to Cairo
in 1916 leads him to side with the
Arabs against the Turks, eventually organizing his own guerrilla
army. Omar Sharif received an
Academy Award nomination
for his performance. Saturday,
August 22, 6pm; Sunday, August
23, 4pm
Natalie Wood again in the
classic West Side Story, directed
by Jerome Robbins and Robert
Wise, 1961, The film also stars
Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn,
and Rita Moreno. Beautifully
restored in 2011 for the 50th anniversary of its release, West Side
Story has stood the test of time
as one of the most beloved film
musicals. In its adaptation of the
Romeo and Juliet story—featuring
unforgettable songs by Leonard
Bernstein and choreography by
Jerome Robbins—feuding families are replaced by warring New
York City gangs, the white Jets and
the Puerto Rican Sharks. Friday,
August 21, 7pm; Saturday, August
22, 2pm.
MOMI is located at 36-01 35th
Avenue in Astoria. For tickets

Over in the Amphitheatre and
Gallery, catch an exhibition called,
How Cats Took Over the Internet
running from August 7-January 31, 2016. Here is the MOMI
description. “That cats ‘rule the
Internet’ is an undisputed truism.
Internet users have created and
viewed millions of images and
videos of cats, delighting in media that dwell on the cat’s many
paradoxes: its independence and
powerlessness, its curiosity and
indifference, its human qualities
and sheer inscrutability.”
“It tells the history of cats
online, examining phenomena
like Caturday, lolcats, cat videos,
celebrity cats, and more to unearth why images and videos of
the feline kind have transfixed a
generation of web users. Touching
on concepts like anthropomorphism, the aesthetics of cuteness,
the Bored at Work Network, and
the rise of user-generated content,
this exhibit takes a critical look at
a deceptively frivolous phenomenon.” There is no extra charge
for this exhibition.

Is Wi-Fi in
Schools Safe?
enthusiastically.
In the meantime, Herbert
believes it’s crucial to take steps
to combat the effects of intense,
prolonged EMF exposure. “All of
these things are wearing us down
and unless you take measures to
reduce what’s wearing you down
and increase the protections of
what you’re doing, you’re getting
unnecessary exposures.”
As a
proactive approach, she advises
families to eat healthy diets of
fresh fruits and vegetables, turn
off cell phones and Wi-Fi when not
in use and unplug all non-essential
electronic appliances before going
to bed.
Herbert says in many cases children experiencing symptoms have
made impressive turnarounds after
detoxifying from EMF exposure.
“When you give the cells a break
from the unremitting stress, they
can actually bound back and have
better functioning, better behavior, better learning and a lot less
setbacks and meltdowns.”
Rees says turning off cell phones
in the schools and connecting
computers to the Internet through
Ethernet cables would be a major
step forward, even if it might present some initial design challenges.
“Not only is it safer – it’s a faster
connection, it’s more pure,” she
says. “There’s absolutely no reason
to have these kinds of transmitters
blanketing people with radiation.”
10 Elements of an Electromagnetically Clean and Conscious School
Read on for Rees’ top 10 tips
for schools serious about reducing
EMF exposure. A more detailed
list can be found at tinyurl.com/
o57jpph.
1. Use hard-wired cable or fiber
optic communications networks,
replacing over-the-air Wi-Fi transmissions.
2. Install workstations with Ethernet connections available throughout the school for laptop Internet
access.
3. Teach students and school personnel to disable Wi-Fi functionality on laptops and personal devices and remove wireless “smart
boards.”
4. Institute a “No Cell Phone”
policy on campus, including personal hotspot devices.
5. Hard-wire computer peripherals
such as mice, keyboards, speakers,
monitors and other accessories.
6. Hard-wire printers and disable
Wi-Fi function.
7. Disallow iPads or other tablets
for students unless they accommodate an Ethernet connection
and provide the ability to disable
the wireless.
8. Train school personnel to be
alert for signs of chronic electrosensitivity symptoms such as
headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, heart irregularities and
concentration problems.
9. Educate parents about the advisability of hard-wiring computers
and Internet connections and limiting mobile phone use in the home.
10. Assess via antennasearch.com
and with a radio frequency (RF)
meter any external RF radiation
sources, such as from antennas or
towers, within a mile of the school.

Dromm Gives $2.4 Million to District Schools
New York City Council Member Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson
Heights, Elmhurst), chair of the
Council’s education committee,
has allocated a record-breaking
$2.4 million in capital funding
to local schools.
The following schools in Council Member Dromm’s district
have received a portion of this
funding for the upcoming fiscal
year: Public Schools 7, 13, 23, 69,
89, 102, 148, 149, 211, 212, 255,
and 280; Intermediate Schools
230, 145, and 5; Pan American
International High School, John
F. Kennedy, Jr. High School,
Newtown High School, and the
International High School for
Health Sciences.
These capital dollars will cover
a variety of improvements including security camera installations,
electrical wiring replacements,
audio/visual system enhancements, library upgrades, as well
as repairs to school public address systems and playgrounds.
Pictured above are Council Member Daniel Dromm and PS 69 Principal
Martha Vazquez cut the ribbon on one of the school’s new smartboards.
“Securing this historic increase
in funding was a top priority
for me,” said Council Member
Dromm, a former NYC public
school teacher for 25 years before
being elected to the NYC Council. “Our kids get one chance at
a quality education. I’m doing
everything I can to support our
public schools. These funds will
ensure that our children have
access to safe schools and the
updated technology they need to
be successful.”
Rozic Receives “Bus Champion” Award From Riders Alliance
Assemblywoman Nily Rozic
(D,WF-Fresh Meadows) was presented with a “Bus Champion”
award from Riders Alliance, a
grassroots organization of subway and bus riders pushing for
stronger public investment in
mass transit. Gathering at a Q44
bus stop in Flushing, bus riders
and transit advocates presented
the award in recognition of Rozic’s advocacy for better bus service in New York City.
“Whether it is calling for better bus service in my district that
does not have a single subway
or train station or increases in
funding, teaming up with riders
and advocates to ensure that our
transit system meets the needs
of today’s ridership will remain
a priority of mine,” said Rozic
(D,WF-Fresh Meadows).
Rozic sponsored legislation
allowing the City’s Select Bus
Service system to expand, speeding up commute times for over 2
million New Yorkers who rely
on bus service every day. Bus
lanes are a crucial part of Select
Bus Service, or “SBS,” the city’s
rapid bus model, now in operation
along eight routes citywide.
“I live far from the train and I
depend on buses a lot. I use the
Q44 and the Q46 to move around,
but would like service to be more
frequent. I want to see smart
and efficient bus service and am
excited to see Assemblywoman
Rozic f ighting for it! Better
buses in Queens is beneficial to
all Queens residents and I look
forward to the implementation of
Select Bus Service on the Q44,”
said Handel Forde, Kew Gardens
Hills resident and Riders Alliance
member.
Select Bus Service has sped up
bus and vehicle traffic along
the corridors where it has been
deployed; along 125th Street in
Manhattan, for instance, bus
speeds are up in excess of 30%,
speeding up riders’ commutes
by implementing a bus lane,
off-board fare collection, and
improving traffic flow.
“Bus riders all over the city want
faster, more efficient public transit—but change has been slow in
coming. Now, thousands of bus
riders’ commutes will improve,
thanks to Assemblywoman Rozic’s leadership,” said Josselyn
Atahualpa, a Jackson Heights
resident and organizer with the
Riders Alliance.
Stavisky, Volunteers From Art of Men, and Queens

Van Bramer & Safe Streets Advocates Call For Increased
Enforcement on Car Dealerships Blocking Sidewalks
New York City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer
was joined by members of Transportation Alternatives and Make
Queens Safer as he led a walking
tour along Northern Boulevard to
highlight the abuse of public parking regulations by car dealerships
and auto body shops in Woodside
and Long Island City.
Following constituent reports
about local car dealerships and
auto body shops parking vehicles
on the sidewalk along Northern
Boulevard, Council Member Van
Bramer, transportation advocates
and families enlisted the 108th and
114th Police Precincts assistance
in increasing enforcement on car
dealerships illegally parking their
unlicensed vehicles on sidewalks
and blocking pedestrian traffic
along the major thoroughfare.
During the tour, Council Member Van Bramer highlighted vehicles without New York State plates
and appropriate registration parked
illegally on streets and sidewalks at
businesses on Northern Boulevard
from 62nd Street to Broadway.
“Forcing families, seniors and
school children into danger is
never acceptable and will not be
tolerated in our communities,”
said Council Member Van Bramer.
“Our City’s car dealerships and
auto body shops have an obligation
to obey our City and State laws. If
they do not they must be penalized
to the fullest extent of the law.

are neglecting the safety of our
communities and putting lives in
danger. In an effort to double down
on our City’s Vision Zero initiative we will work with our local
precincts to increase enforcement
and hold guilty establishments
accountable before someone gets
seriously injured.”
“Northern Boulevard is dangerous enough without pedestrians
having to worry about avoiding
cars on the sidewalk, which should
be a sanctuary for the most vulnerable users of the street,” said Caroline Samponaro, Deputy Director
of Transportation Alternatives.
“Allowing dealerships to park cars
on sidewalks sends a dangerous
message in a city with a Vision
Zero policy. We thank Council
Member Van Bramer for calling
attention to this problem and work-
ing toward a solution.”
“It is sad to think we have to defend our sidewalks from commercial businesses who see our sidewalks as rent -free places to store
their cars, but that is their case on
Northern Boulevard,” said Cristina Furlong, founding member
of Make Queens Safer. “We want
community members to know that
this space is theirs.
Hopefully
enforcement and a responsibility
to their communities they serve
will help business owners get their
cars off their sidewalks and illegal
parking spaces in Queens.”

Member Van Bramer has been
working with the Department
of Transportation as well as local precincts to improve traffic

Queens Sports
All-Star Games In Swing By Robert Elkin
Basketball players need not
have to stay near their residence
or school to help them continue
what could be a long career. Former professionals and even current pros, high school, or college
athletes could reside in one area or
borough and travel to another for a
basketball game, either to play or
just be a spectator.
Every youngster playing the
hoop sport always finds ways to
be the next super star and go to
the next level. Focusing ahead is
what it all about. The high school
athletes are always looking to get
the college scholarship ad be the
next super star. That’s their major
objective. Another pro could be in
the making if that athlete focuses
in the right direction.
During the summer or the hottest
months of the year, the hoopsters
compete in various leagues, including the West Fourth Street one in
Manhattan. The individuals enter
by teams.
The West Fourth Street League
in two separate divisions recently
conducted its all-star games. The
Unlimited Division is for athletes
out of high school through any age,
because this circuit is not based on
age. After a successful all-star day
in ‘the Cage’ , the regular round
robin schedule continued on until
championship day is determined in
various categories.
The players have been competing under game conditions and
have been rying to improve on their
weaknesses.
Under the direction of Kenny
Graham, who has been ahead of the
league for many years, there were
two all-star games and a Legends’
one to highlight action on a recent
Saturday with action starting in the
afternoon and going into the night,
but there wasn’t any lights
There were many first time
players in the high school category
in the Park. Some of them shined
on the court in front of hundreds
of spectators. It was ‘standing
room only.’ They cheered on their
favorite players.
“Scoring points don’t matter
in a game like this,” said Greg
Meade, who come September will
enter the Borough of Manhattan
Community College. “It’s a good
experience to play in a league like
this. And at the same time the players are of all ages. I, myself, must
work on different parts of my game
to go further….”
The Unlimited all-star game
was very exciting. T.J. Curry
took a pass from Travis Flagg and
scored the winning basket for his
team. Curry loves the atmosphere
of playing basketball. He played
one year at Post University in Con-
necticut and is looking forward to
transfer out. He is in his first year
of competing in the West Fourth
Street League.
The all-star players certainly
felt that it was an honor to be part
of the festivities And they were
trying to score from any position
on the court.
“Playing in the league is a good
experience,” said Flagg, who resides in Cambria Heights.
Flagg played his high school
ball at Cardozo while his teammate Curry competed for Christ
the King. Both are known for
basketball power houses in New
York City.
“M goal is to go to a new school
and see how far basketball takes
me,” he added.
Meanwhile, Christ The King
was the high school that fitted
Curry. He tried to have fun with
basketball and now expects to play
pro ball overseas come in January
or February of 2016.
Then there was a Max Margolis,
who resided in Flushing and started a club team and attended Hofstra University. His team was called
Max’s all-stars and competed in
pro-am leagues and tournaments.
“We had a lot of good players,”
Max said. “The atmosphere in the
West Fourth Street League is just
tremendous.”
Borough President Katz Allocates $14 Million For
Queens Library Capital Improvements
Borough President Melinda
Katz announced an allocation of
$14 million of her Fiscal Year 2016
discretionary capital funds for
important expansions, renovations
and technology across 12 library
branches throughout the borough.
“The millions of families who
rely on the Queens Library services deserve nothing less than a
world-class library system,” said
Borough President KATZ. “The
Board of Trustees – which the
Mayor and I reformed in 2014
thanks to prompt state legislation
– continues to move the Library in
the right direction consistent with
its educational purpose. This capital allocation will help ensure the
Queens Library branches remain
up-to-date and better able to serve
its educational purpose as a community hub of learning, literacy
and culture.”
“On behalf of the Board of
Trustees, I want to thank Borough
President Katz for her significant
support in allocating $14 million in capital funding to Queens
Library,” said Queens Library
Board of Trustees Chair CARL
S. KOERNER. “It will allow the
library to substantially upgrade its
infrastructure, providing a better
environment for library customers.”
The $14 million allocation breaks
down as follows:
• $3.8 million for the expansion
of the Queens Library at Arverne
• $3.5 million for interior renovations at the Queens Library at
Baisley Park
• $96,000 for security cameras at
the Queens Library at Bay Terrace
• $500,000 for the upgrading of
the HVAC system at the Queens
Library at Douglaston/Little Neck
the Queens Library at Douglaston/

•
$2.75 million for a second

• $800,000 for a roof replacement

• $78,000 for security cameras
at the Queens Library at Rosedale
• $2.2 million for exterior façade

the Queens Library at Woodhaven.
A.G. Schneiderman & Coalition of Attorneys General Call on
Phone Carriers to Offer Call-Blocking Technology to Customers
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman recently joined 44 other
state attorneys general calling on
five major phone companies to
offer call-blocking technology to
their customers. In a joint letter to
the chief executives of the carriers,
the attorneys general said a recent
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule clarification
confirms that telecommunication
service providers can offer customers the ability to block unwanted
calls, and verifies that federal
law does not prohibit offering the
services.
In the letter to AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and CenturyLink,
the attorneys general stated, “Every
year, our offices are flooded with
consumer complaints pleading for a
solution to stop intrusive robocalls.
Your companies are now poised to
offer your customers the help they
need. We urge you to act without
delay.”
“My office receives numerous
complaints from consumers every
year about various unwanted phone
solicitations, and now is the time for
phone carriers to act,” said Attorney General Schneiderman. “The
FCC has made clear that there is
no obstacle to phone carriers giving
customers what they have been asking for – a way to stop these calls
before they ever come through.”
Phone carriers previously
claimed they could not offer such
services. At a July 2013 hearing
before a Senate subcommittee, representatives from the US Telecom
Association and CTIA testified
that “legal barriers prevent carriers
from implementing advanced callblocking technology to reduce the
number of unwanted telemarketing
calls.”

requires Sikhs and other players
to remove their articles of faith,
such as turbans, in international
competition. The members also
request an update on FIBA’s review of the policy and on the status of the organization’s two-year
testing phase announced last fall.
Last summer, Crowley and Bera
led 22 Members of Congress in a
letter to FIBA’s president urging
the board to end its discriminatory policy against Sikh basketball
players who wear turbans, an important article of faith. The letter
followed an outcry over an incident involving two Sikh players
who were told by referees that they
must remove their turbans if they
were to play in FIBA’s Asia Cup.
The players, who have always
played in turbans, were told that
they were in violation of one of
FIBA’s official rules, which states,
“Players shall not wear equipment
(objects) that may cause injury to
other players.” However, there is
no evidence that a Sikh turban
poses a threat to cause injury,
and other sports leagues, such as
Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), allow athletes
wearing turbans to participate.
In response to the members’
letter and strong public pressure,
FIBA announced that it would
review the issue and begin a twoyear testing phase that would
allow players to wear head coverings starting in summer 2015,
with an ultimate eye toward a final
decision after the 2016 Olympics.
However, despite FIBA’s promises
about action this summer, to date,
there has been no update on the
status of the testing phase.
“We have seen time and again
that sports have the power to
unite – basketball included. The
sport has gained in international
stature in recent decades and is
increasingly popular in countries
where the use of a turban is commonplace. We urge you to amend
your policies to ensure that people
all around the world have an equal
opportunity to play the game,”
wrote the lawmakers in the letter.
Stavisky, Volunteers From Art of Men,
and Queens Community House
Partner to Bring 500 Meals to Families
of Men (AoM), created the group
to allow men in the community
to find projects for volunteers
and help those in need. “I looked
around and saw that everything
was falling apart. The subways
don’t work. The roads are a mess.
The homeless problem seems
to get worse every year. And
people are hungry! Everybody is
complaining but no one is doing
anything about it. I decided to do
something,” said Mr. Gurwitz.
Queens Community House
(QCH) runs a number of programs
at the Pomonok Community Center. Mary Abbate, the Associate
Executive Director stated, “The
Queens Community House (QCH)
Pomonok Center is delighted to
partner with the Art of Men on
their Everybody Eats campaign
to provide members of our community a ready to eat meal. This is
one of many ways in which QCH
carries out our mission to provide
Queens’ residents with tools to
improve their lives and build
healthy, inclusive communities.
We were particularly eager to accept the Art of Men’s invitation to
participate in the Everybody Eats
campaign because it contributes
to the food access work QCH is
engaging for residents of Pomonok
Houses. Food access work includes a community run Farmers
Market held on Wednesdays and
our youth food justice work that
combines STEM related classroom activities with community
gardening and food preparation
experiences.”
Residents were also joined by
AoM’s Executive Director Jeff
Hughes who said, “It’s hard to
understand how we’ve become
a culture obsessed with taking
pictures of our food while the
family down the street has nothing to eat. Every time a cool new
tech item is released millions fly
off the shelves, but the shelves of
our food pantries remain empty.
Everybody Eats won’t feed everybody. We know that. But every
meal we serve is part of the solution—that’s what drives us.”
Others on hand at the Pomonok
Center included QCH’s Executive
Director, Ben Thomases, Chief
Strategic Officer, Dennis Redmond, Chief Operating Officer
Jason Treveleaven and Programs
Director at the Pomonok Center
Amy Tam-Liao.
THE QUEENS TIMES
PAGE 10
Statement by Queens District Attorney Richard A.
Brown on Unmanned Model Aircrafts (Drones
The recent reports of
sightings and close calls by
pilots at New York’s John
F. Kennedy International
Airport and nationwide involving drones (unmanned
model aircrafts) raises serious concerns. As the chief
law enforcement officer of
Queens County, my main
priority is the public’s safety.
For that reason, my office is
coordinating our enforcement efforts with our federal
partners, including the Federal Aviation Administration
(“FAA”), and with the Joint
Terrorism Task Force (JFK
Office) and the Port Authority Police Department,
whose duties include enforcing state and city laws at our
airports. Under FAA rules, if
you endanger manned aircraft or people on the ground
with an unmanned aircraft,
you could be liable for a
fine ranging from $1,000
to a maximum of $25,000.
Moreover, under New York
State Penal Law you may
be prosecuted for Reckless
Endangerment in the First
Degree, a felony which carries a penalty of up to seven
years in prison.
Further, drones may interfere with other important
private and government services and jeopardize other
important missions. Many
people operating unmanned
aircraft are novices with
little or no aviation experience. The FAA is promoting voluntary compliance
and working to educate unmanned aircraft systems
operators about how they
can operate safely under
current regulations and laws.
The agency has partnered
with industry and the modeling community in a public
outreach campaign called
“Know Before You Fly”
(www.knowbeforeyoufly.
org).
I urge hobbyists and other
members of the public to
use common sense when
choosing to employ these
unmanned vehicles; obtain
the necessary permissions;
and only use these vehicles
in areas deemed safe as the
reckless use of unmanned
model aircraft near airports
and places involving large
groups of people needlessly
puts lives in danger.
While I strongly prefer
voluntary compliance, let the
message be unequivocally
clear to those who choose to
violate the law and endanger
the public – my office will
utilize all legal tools available to insure the safety of
those in the air and on the
ground.
Dromm Statement on Cheating Scandal
“Swift action appears to
have been taken by Chancellor Farina to address these
recent allegations about
cheating,” said NYC Council Education Committee
Chairperson Daniel Dromm.
“Cheating is an unfortunate but almost predictable
outcome when student test
scores are used inappropriately to evaluate everything
from school grades to teacher evaluations. I am glad the
Chancellor is taking steps to
nip this in the bud by creating a task force to further
investigate this issue.”
Goldfeder, Addabbo to Sponsor Rain
Barrel Giveaway in Broad Channel
In the wake of a recent city-wide water and
sewage rate increase, New
York State Assemblyman
Phil Goldfeder (D – Broad
Channel) and New York
State Senator Joseph Addabbo (D – Broad Channel)
are sponsoring an event
to provide homeowners
with free rain barrels to
help reduce home water
bills and encourage water
conservation. The August
9th event, to be held at the
Broad Channel American
Legion, is co-sponsored
by the city Department of
Environmental Protection
(DEP).
“Rain barrels are a great
way for families to reduce
their water usage. Not only
does this translate into
real savings on monthly
water bills, it also helps
protect our sewer system
and reduce street f looding. I’m pleased to partner
with Senator Addabbo and
the Department of Environmental Protection in
hosting this giveaway. I
encourage everyone to stop
by and take advantage,”
said Assemblyman Phil
Goldfeder.
“I commend the NYC
DEP for continuing to expand its rain barrel initiative, by providing free rain
barrels to our constituents. This environmentally
positive event will take
place in one of the most
environmentally minded
communities in my district
- Broad Channel. I look
forward to working with
our governmental agencies
and my good colleagues,
such as Assemblyman Phil
Goldfeder, in bringing our
constituents the resources
needed to protect and improve our surroundings,”
said Senator Joseph Addabbo.
On Sunday, August
9th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
Assemblyman Goldfeder
and Senator Addabbo will
hold a rain barrel giveaway
together with DEP at the
Broad Channel American
Legion Hall, located at 209
Cross Bay Boulevard. The
giveaway is part of a DEP
citywide program started in
2008 to distribute 60-gallon
water barrels free of charge
to homeowners.
According to the DEP
website, the barrels can be
used to capture and manage
water runoff during rain
storms. This can help prevent the city’s sewer system
from being overwhelmed
by heavy rains, which leads
to street flooding and pollution. The program also
helps homeowners reduce
costs on their water and
sewer usage bills by capturing rain water for use in
gardens and yards, or for
washing cars.
The giveaway follows a
recent decision by the city’s
water board to raise water
rates by 2.97% beginning
July 1st. The increase in
charges will go towards
capital and operating expenses for the city’s water
system, DEP reports.
At Sunday’s event,
approximately 240 rain
barrels will be provided.
In order to claim a barrel,
homeowners are required
to pre-register by visiting
www.FreeRainBarrelEvent.com. Anyone with questions regarding the event
is encouraged to contact
either Assemblyman Goldfeder’s office at (718) 9459550 or Senator Addabbo’s
office at (718) 738-1111.
Van Bramer & Safe Streets Advocates Call For
Increased Enforcement on Car Dealerships

safety in all neighborhoods
of the 26th District as well
as implement Vision Zero
initiatives that are helping
protect pedestrians, cyclists
and motorists.
In 2014, following pres-
sure from Council Member
Van Bramer’s office the
Department of Transportation designated Northern
Boulevard a priority under
the Administration’s Vision
Zero Initiative. Under the
designation, Northern Boulevard became an arterial
slow zone which lowered
the corridor’s speed limit to
25mph and adjusted traffic
signals to reduce dangerous
speeding.
Crowley’s
Statement on
Anniversary of
the Oak Creek
Sikh Gurdwara
Massacre
Rep. Joe Crowley (DQueens, the Bronx), Vice
Chair of the Democratic
Caucus, released the statement below on the third
anniversary of the tragic
shooting at the Sikh Gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, which claimed the lives
of six worshippers and seriously injured several others.
A recognized leader in Congress on issues related to
the Sikh American community, Crowley spearheaded
a multi-year, successful effort to convince the federal
government to begin collecting data on hate crimes
committed against Sikh
Americans. In addition to
his work on hate crimes
against the Sikh American
community, Crowley has
been a leader in urging
the U.S. military to end its
presumptive ban on Sikhs
who serve, and in calling on
the International Basketball
Federation (FIBA) to end
its discriminatory policy
against Sikh players.
“Three years ago, our
nation was struck by the
horror of a cowardly act of
violence in a house of worship – our hearts breaking
as we saw a community terrorized in what should be a
place of safety and hope. Today, I join the people of Oak
Creek, the Sikh American
community, and people all
over the country in mourning the six lives lost in this
awful tragedy.
“This day is also a time
for us to renew our promise
to fighting intolerance and
hate everywhere. In the
wake of the Oak Creek tragedy, we see people joining
hands and standing up for
what is right. We see other
victims of hate reaching out
to those devastated by the
tragic Charleston church
shooting. We see people
coming together to say,
‘enough is enough.’
“Now that the FBI is
tracking hate crimes against
Sikh Americans, we will
have a better picture of the
challenges before us. But
the fact remains that Sikhs
are all too often victims of
intolerance and hate, and
that must change. I will
continue to be relentless
in my work to secure civil
rights for Sikh Americans
and educate others about
this beautiful community.
The best way we can honor
the lives lost in the Oak
Creek tragedy is through
meaningful change.”
