THE FALLENPhotos by Joe Gurrado

See Page 8

Majority Leader Jimmy VanBramer released the followingstatement on the proposedPhipps Houses development,The Barnett, located on BarnettAvenue between 50th and 52ndStreet in Sunnyside:

“I’ve been clear from thestart. I have very serious con-cerns about this project that I’veshared with everyone involved.

In November, I co-hosted atown hall meeting with Com-munity Board 2, at which resi-dents voiced serious apprehen-sions about the project. Phippsalready manages the PhippsGardens Apartments across thestreet from the proposed site ofthe Barnett, and have not alwaysdone right by their tenants. WhileI was aware of some issues withtheir management, I was dis-mayed by how many complaints

existing tenants registered againstPhipps, both at this town hall andsubsequent town halls. Before weallow Phipps to build more rentalunits in the neighborhood, theyneed to get right with the peoplewho pay them rent today. WhileI’ve had serious concerns for along time, I wanted to give Phippsthe opportunity to build supportand amend their project after hear-ing feedback from the commu-nity. I also wanted the Commu-nity Board to weigh in before Ideclared a position.

However, Phipps has not, inany meaningful way, attempted tonegotiate or amend the plan to ad-dress community concerns. Phippshas not built local or communitysupport for the project. Theyhaven’t seriously addressed con-cerns about height, income levels,community facilities, or amenities.

I fully believe we need moreaffordable housing, and have dem-onstrated this support many times,but this does not mean that everyproject is the right one or in theright location. In the face of oppo-sition, Phipps has been unwillingto make any meaningful changes.

I had intended to allow theland use process to unfold, and toallow the community board theopportunity to weigh in before Ivoice my opinion. At the last landuse committee meeting, however,CB 2 Chair Pat O’Brien and mem-bers of the committee intimatedthat it was important for them toknow where I stood as part oftheir decision-making process.

When I heard that, I realizedthat it was time for me to makemy position clear. Given all ofthese concerns, I cannot supportthis proposed project.”

NEW TRASH CANS ON QUEENS BLVD

On May 27th, 2016, MajorityLeader Jimmy Van Bramer un-veiled 19 new trash bins alongQueens Boulevard. Van Bramer

allocated $10,000 to place thesetrash cans at intersections alongQueens Boulevard to collect litterand keep the street clean. The new

cans replace old wire bins, whichattract rats and create an eyesore byputting litter on display.

“Every resident deserves towalk down clean, pleasant streets,”said the Council Majority Leader.“These new bins will help combatlitter and keep rodents out of theneighborhood. I’m glad to allocatethese funds and work with the De-partment of Sanitation to keepQueens Boulevard clean.”

“We are pleased to partner withCouncil Member Van Bramer tobring 19 new high end litter bas-kets to Queens Boulevard,” saidSanitation Commissioner KathrynGarcia. “We are thankful to theCouncilman for his continuing sup-port of the Department and for help-ing us keep New York City clean.This effort between an elected offi-cial and the Sanitation Department- as well as our ongoing work withlocal merchants and residents -demonstrates how close partner-ships can make a real difference ina community.”

CLOSURE OF CLUB PURLIEUIn response to the closure of Club Pur-

lieu in Dutch Kills, the site of numerousviolent incidents including the shooting oflivery driver Roberto Castillo in March,Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer issuedthe following statement:

“Club Purlieu was a bad business and abad neighbor that brought violence and dis-ruption to our community. Just two monthsago, a fight outside the club left an innocentcab driver clinging to life after he was shot inthe head by a patron, and this was far from thefirst violent incident. Club Purlieu was a clear

and present danger to Dutch Kills, turning aresidential neighborhood into a violenthotspot. In March, I rallied with communitymembers and my colleague Council MemberConstantinides calling for the club’s closure,and I’ve worked with the Dutch Kills CivicAssociation and the 114th Precinct to help getthe club out of the neighborhood. This was anincredible community effort, and I want tothank Council Member Constantinides, theDutch Kills Civic Association, and the 114thPrecinct for all the work they did to get thisclub shut down for good.”

MarcLeavitt, Esq. donated for the day hisframed Sunnysidopology game board.“Manhattan seems to be trying to ex-pand here so helping our own momand pops is will help all of our qualityof life.” Gomez said, “We also men-tioned to many our support for SBJSA,(Small Business Jobs Survival Act)which would help us not only locally

preserve our mom and pops, but all ofQueens and city wide.”The promotional materials of yester-year, including “make your home inSunnyside,” were not as needed, withour excellent real estate brokers oftenhaving more clients and than productthese days (Tip to entrepreneurs whomove fast: There are locations on 47th

Avenue in the 40’s where retail rentsare still under a $2000, reports boardmember Eric Barthels at CooldownJuice, who has pioneered a growingrenaissance there).

Of interest to many due to hisdecades at the Expo, was the “LukeAdams Way” street sign duplicate.Manny Gomez said, “Even distribu-tors spoke of Luke, former Market-ing Director as one-of-a-kind show-man for our area.” The Chamber isgrateful to Sophia Ganosis of QueenChamber, always a good friend toSunnyside Chamber, and partner inour business card exchanges.

MEMORIAL DAY FAIR

by Sean Murphy

NYC limped through spring with sun-shine making an appearance about as oftenas Big Foot. There’s no doubt Queens resi-dents needed a catapult into summer, andwhat better way than the annual SunnysideGardens Park Memorial Day Fair! Celebrat-ing its 90th anniversary, the park also sawtemperatures approaching 90 when openingits gates to the surrounding community onSaturday May 28th.

The day began with the playing of ourNational Anthem and a flag raising cer-emony, led by local veterans and area Girl &Boy Scout troops. Former Marine JamesKnapp was instrumental in organizing theopening ceremony of remembrance, and thepark is extremely grateful for his service toour country, our community, and for help-ing us honor those we’ve lost.

New Yorkers from near and far, includ-ing our local Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer,passed through the gate to partake in thepark’s longest running tradition. Smiles andlaughs were infectious as fairgoers venturedacross the three and a half acre park enjoyingrides, raffles, face painting and more.

Street Beat Brass Band kicked off thestage performances with tunes rangingfrom Big Band classics to a little“Ghostbusters.” The urge to climb thestage and join in the celebration was strongin more than one toddler!

Sunnyside String School, SunnysideBallet Studio, Ronny Wasserstrom PlaydatePuppets, and Rogue The Magician also tookturns entertaining, while LIC Kids, GantryKids Fitness, Crossfit Sunnyside, and BigApple Circus held demonstrations and con-tests throughout the park.

The sun shined brightest in the field,highlighting some of the day’s biggestsmiles. Carnival rides, bouncy houses,game booths, and an FDNY engine (readyto be explored!) transformed the baseballdiamond into a carnival.

Event chairs Ana Morton, TaniaMohammad, Amanda Akyol, ShalemHughes and Lauren Flynn-Durbin workedtirelessly to organize the day, with countlessvolunteers braving the heat to set-up, breakdown, and man the grills and beverage tentsin between.

Although she had some initial concernsabout fundraising for this year, event chairTania Mohammad was, “amazed at the sup-port of local businesses and members whodonated a ton of goods and really spectacu-lar prizes for the raffles. These are bothareas that really help with the fundraisingfor the park.”

Sunnyside Gardens Park extends a heart-felt thank you to all of the area sponsors,businesses, and local residents who gener-ously supported us in bringing the commu-nity together for the day.

YOUTH CONDUCTINGCOMMUNITY-WIDE OPERATIONS

by David Rosasco

The rapidly rising temperatures over theMemorial Day Weekend could have easilycaused a cancellation in prior times, yet, in themidst of the heat, one could only hear thesentiments such as the one from Tyler Alvarez,7th grade student at St. Sebastian School, stating“Is there any more work to do?”

As there is always more work to be done,the youth spent long hours doing just that, witha large assembly of high school students fromthe Greater New York Academy in Woodsideleading the charge on Friday, May 27, perform-ing routine maintenance that powered alongfrom 58th Street and 43rd Avenue east ontoWoodside Avenue mulching street trees, re-moving graffiti, planting flowers and cleaning,all of the primary mission tasks.

With such a great number of participants,this gathering could then seize the opportunityto move south onto 65th Place then east ontoQueens Boulevard to repaint a bridge marredby weathering then weed the entire tree grovearea by hand in such a way that one would haveassumed a machine was used in that effortalone. Other smaller teams worked to restorethe fire hydrants nearby.

Saturday, May 28 brought another large as-sembly of youth and missionaries from The

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to-gether to conclude the ongoing painting opera-tions in the extreme southwestern edge of theentire Woodside zip code.

Youth launched their work from thesoutheast corner of 42nd Street andGreenpoint Avenue, moving north and southto the BQE, roads they have transited manytimes in the past two months, moving in agenerally easterly direction and retiring ingood order at 46th Street.

Remaining items were repainted and anygraffiti in the operational area was removed,thus effectively ending this phase of the mis-sion, another triumph in the long continuity oftheir work. Breenda Shreshta, 7th grade studentat St. Sebastian School and a record-breaker fortotal number of service hours observed aftersuch a victory “It was hot for sure, but it lookslike we finished everything.”

The twilight hours saw the youth evacuatefor cooler venues and to enjoy the street fair, butone youth desired to do more. Tyler, now alone,proceeded to 71st Street and 41st Avenue tomulch 4 more street trees along 41st Avenue anda few more within the community garden at thelocation. His determination to be the last manstanding was put best as he asserted “Well, it’sjust me, it’s hot, but I feel like I want to do more.”
