RALLY FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL

(continued on page 5)

by Patricia Dorfman

A Sunnyside Chamber of Com-merce petition is quickly gatheringsignatures in Sunnyside andWoodside from business ownersand supporters to “Save Mom andPops.” The Chamber Board of Di-

SEZ SMALL BIZrectors voted unanimously in Mayto support the passage in New YorkCity Council of the passage of the“Small Business Jobs SurvivalAct,” or SBJSA. On September26, the day of the Skillman AvenueFestival, an outreach began to dem-

onstrate that almost 100% of smallbusinesses support the measure.

The bill would give more nego-tiating tools to businesses, non-prof-its and professionals when theirleases are up. Other groups, “SaveNYC,” “Take Back NYC” and “Art-

The Sunnyside Woodside MSP(Middle School Project) organiza-tion will hold a rally on Sunday,October 18th at 2pm to ask the De-partment of Education (DOE) toreconsider it’s decision to not builda middle school in the area. Therally will have speeches but willalso be child friendly. There will bemusic, balloons, and group photosfor any child that wants to take part.

The location will be behind theNational Wholesale Liquidator’sbuilding on 48th street, betweenNorthern Boulevard and 37th av-enue. Next to the rally is a Depart-ment Of Transportation site usedto store lampposts. The SunnysideWoodside MSP group feels it couldbe an ideal spot for a school. It isnear the neighborhood, city buses

run on 48th street, and the 7-train isonly a four block walk away.

Since August of 2014 the DOEhas been sent two letters by QueensElected Officials in which the offi-cials expressed concern of a middleschool overcrowding crisis com-ing in a few years. The first wassent by Congressman Joe Crowleyand Assemblywoman Cathy Nolanin August of 2014. They basedtheir opinions on the number ofelementary schools and school ad-ditions that have been built in thearea lately, or are being built now.In February of this year the DOEmet with members of Sunnyside/Woodside MSP and staff of thelocal officials to explain that theyfelt a middle school was not needed.

WE NEED BETTER

COMMUNICATION.Our needs as transit riders are

getting lost in the politics of theMTA. But riders’ needs are impor-tant and we need better communi-cation from the MTA. To be effec-tive communicators, the MTA needsto be clear, consistent and brief intheir messaging and strategic aboutthe dissemination of those messages.

I joined the 7 Train Blues steer-ing committee to share insight onhow the MTA can use design anduser experience fundamentals toalleviate some of our transit frus-trations. 7 Train Blues memberson Facebook tell us that they’refrequently left stranded with littleto no communication after longperiods of waiting on the platformand that the MTA’s communica-tions are confusing.

DEMANDING ACTION TO PERMANENTLY

RENEW 9/11 HEALTH ACTCrowley’s remarks as prepared:

“Mr. Speaker, I wish I could count howmany times Members of Congress havespoken on the House floor about the need tonever forget September 11th, its victims,and our first responders.

Members have offered resolutions,they’ve given speeches, they’ve come to thefloor with shocking images that are alreadyseared into our minds.

And through it all, we hear this refrain ofìnever forget.î

I know I will never forget. I will neverforget the friends and family members I lostthat day.

I have constituents who will never for-get. They will never forget the phone callthey received, or the neighbor they saw forthe last time.

When I visit a firehouse in Woodside, inMaspeth, in Sunnyside in Queens, or ThrogsNeck in the Bronx I know they will neverforget. They will never forget the days,weeks, months spent working on rescue,recovery, and eventually cleanup efforts.

In fact, Mr. Speaker, the only peoplewho seem in danger of forgetting are mycolleagues right here in the House of Repre-sentatives.

That’s the only explanation I can thinkof for why they let the James Zadroga 9/11Health Act expire last week.

They are forgetting the promise thatCongress that our country made to these firstresponders, survivors and other volunteersin the days following September 11th.

We all made a promise to them that theywould not be left behind. They would not be

ignored, left to fend for themselves.It took far too long for the Zadroga Act

to become law in the first place. Those weredifficult years, to have to keep telling our 9/11 heroes just wait a little bit longer.î

But we got it done, because it was theright thing to do.

It would be easy for my colleagues toshrug their shoulders and say that they didtheir part once.

To think that we’ve wiped our hands ofthe issue. But the need is still there. The painand suffering, are still there.

So we must act and we must act now.A few weeks ago, hundreds of first re-

sponders came to Washington, D.C. fromall over the country to look members ofCongress in the eye and ask them to renewthis worthy program.

They had meetings, they held press con-ferences, and they even brought a celebrityspokesman to draw attention to the cause.

Toward the end of the day, one gentle-man said that he probably wouldn’t be com-ing back to push Congress on this issue.

Now, I wish that none of them wouldhave to come back because we would beable to tell them that we took action andpermanently established this program.

But the reason he’s not coming back, isbecause he has Stage 4 cancer. Stage 4cancer as a result of his work on the pile. Hemay not be able to come back.

That’s what this is about. That’s whowe’re talking about.

WOODSIDE YOUTHLAUNCH CLEANINGOPERATIONS

by David Rosasco

Having learned the conditionsof each street throughout theWoodside community and wherethe work of the youth has yet tohave achieved the desired out-come of certain problem loca-tions which continue to present adisorderly situation was alwayson their minds, with JanisQuilapio, 7th grade student at St.Sebastian School remarking onthe garbage strewn streets along39th Avenue “it’s sad to see somuch garbage here all the time,but we’ll clean it up and hope thepeople stop littering.”

The youth joined by mission-aries from the Church of JesusChrist of Latter-day Saints as-sembled in the way they have be-come accustomed over many yearsof continuous work on Saturday,October 13, to tackle the persistentlittering problem along 39th Av-enue which is particularly trouble-some between 57th and 59th Streets,ultimately recovering enormousvolumes of litter, easily makingthis location one of the most chal-lenging even for youth with ironwill and ceaseless fervor to returnit to order.

This work was preceded by awarm-up cleaning operation un-der 61st Street and Roosevelt Av-enue, which presents the samepersistent littering problem but,given its central location to theentire community, it stands as asymbol of the enormous effort ofthe youth to repeatedly return to it,with Zak Pan, 10th grade student atFrancis Lewis High School ob-serving “We’ve been to this loca-tion many times in only the pastfew months, and we filled up 3bags of garbage already not hav-ing moved 100 feet.”

After cleaning operationsended, the remaining youth reas-sembled to press ahead with moretree mulching of 20 street treesalong 44th Avenue between 58th

and 60th Streets, north onto 60th

Street, then jumping to 63rd Streetsouth of Woodside Avenue andHicks Drive, all natural cedarmulch procured from NY GardenWorld, with the youth such asClaudia Umala, 7th grade student atSt. Sebastian School asserting “Ithink people will like how thismulch looks, and it smells nice.”

“We disagreed with the DOE’s assess-ment of the children’s Middle School op-tions and decided to create a petition to getour neighbors to show their concern,” saidSean McGowan, a co-creator of theSunnyside Woodside MSP group along withhis wife Debra McGowan and their neigh-bor Tennille Astor. With the help of otherneighbors the three got over 630 handwrit-ten signatures on the petition. As a resultCongressman Crowley, AssemblywomanNolan, Assemblywoman Marge Markey,State Senator Mike Gianaris and Council-man Jimmy VanBramer sent a letter in Mayof this year expressing concern of an im-pending overcrowding crisis in MiddleSchools for Sunnyside and Woodside. Mostof the children in the area attend I.S. 125,which is currently over 100% enrollmentcapacity but is getting an addition built aspart of their efforts to remove transportablethroughout the city.

In June the Department of Educationresponded saying they feel that due to re-moving the 5th grade from I.S. 125 andreturning the 5th graders to PS199 and new

Part of the issue lies with the servicechange posters that are often inconve-

niently displayed in areas that requireriders to travel up flights of stairs to thestation or even swipe Metrocards to getthrough the turnstile before they can beseen. While this may not seem like anissue, it affects customers travellingwith small children and those riderswith disabilities.

Last month, I experimented with the de-sign and content of a planned service changeposter in Photoshop. The original was ratherconfusing because of it contained dense textand awkward phrasing. By rearranging someof the information and cutting back on thelanguage, the poster seems to be much clearer.

There will be two goals for the rally. Thefirst is to discuss and dispute the DOE’sreasons for feeling that there will not be anovercrowding crisis. The second will be toeducate the public on the Campaign forFiscal equity lawsuit that New York Statelost in 2003, and how money from thatlawsuit has still not been awarded to NewYork City. “The Sunnyside Woodside MSPgroup wants a school in our area. But byattending public meetings, we have alsolearned that over 15 Billion dollars has beenheld back by Albany over the last ten years.If that money was made available to buildschools there would be a lot fewer over-crowding situations throughout the city”Sean McGowan said. “We want people toknow that”.

These heroes should be thankedevery day for what they’ve done.They deserve our thanks. They de-serve to be honored, and applauded,and to have floor speech after floorspeech given in their name.
