CB 14 Economic Committee Recap
Boardwalk Vendors, Downtown Far Rock & Microgrids

By Katie McFadden
The Economic Development

Committee of Community Board
14 convened on Monday, April
25 to discuss items such as beach
vendors near Beach 116th Street,
the revitalization of Downtown
Far Rockaway and a proposal
to bring a series of microgrids
throughout Rockaway.
A representative from the Rockaway Beach Club, a group representing boardwalk vendors, came
to the meeting to get input on the
boundaries for boardwalk vendors
near Beach 116th Street. The RBC
proposed a two-block buffer zone,
meaning vendors could only go
as close as Beach 114th or Beach
118th Street. Were conscious
about what mobile vendors we
place and where we place them.
Were not trying to compete with
business on Beach 116th Street.
Were talking about small ideas like
the coconut water kids and lemonade vendors, the rep said.
Brian Heffernan spoke on behalf of the Beach 116th Street Part-
nership. Heffernan initially said

that the merchants werent given
enough time to discuss the issue.
The RBC rep said the mobile vendor permit process takes several
weeks, so she was hoping for an
answer, so the vendors could start
the application process. Heffernan made a motion to expand the
buffer zone to three blocks. Other
Community Board members like
John Cori made a motion to limit
the buffer zone to one block. Heffernans motion passed, so once
the boardwalk is up, vendors can
only come as close as Beach 113th
or Beach 119th Streets.
Representatives from the Economic Development Corporation
were also on hand to discuss the
$91 million committed by Mayor
Bill de Blasio for the revitalization
of Downtown Far Rockaway. The
representatives explained some
background on how the money
was funded through the work of
Councilman Donovan Richards
and the Downtown Far Rockaway Working Group, created in
October 2015. The group has met

five times to discuss ways that
Downtown Far Rockaway could
be improved. The recommendations of the group were delivered
to the mayor on February 1, who
announced that he was committing $91 million toward the goals.
The city is still gathering input to
determine how the money should
be used. The EDC is planning to
hold a public meeting on May 12
so more concrete plans can be
established. Some projects that
are already being funded include
DOT and DEP work, the new Far
Rockaway library, SBS Storefront
Improvements and Sorrentino
Recreation Center improvements.
The Economic Development
Committee also met representatives from the private company,
ANBARIC, who came to discuss
their proposal that they will be
submitting to PSEGLI regarding
a system of microgrids and a cable to bring renewable energy to
Rockaway and parts of Long Island. Their proposal is in response
to two RFPs from PSEGLI, one

calling for renewable energy and
one calling for resources for Western Nassau, which also includes
Rockaway. The proposals are due
soon, so the representatives wanted to make the community aware
of what their plan is. ANBARICs
original plan only included the use
of microgrids but when PSEGLI
released their RFPs, the company found that much more power
was needed than what microgrids
could handle, so their new plan
incorporates an underground cable that would connect Glenwood
and Rockaway to an existing substation in New Jersey. The microgrid portion of the plan would call
for the installation of several solar
panels at eight locations across the
peninsula, with the largest installations over the Riis Park Parking lot
and Edgemere Landfill. The plan
would make Rockaways electric
more reliable, greener and easier
to bring back in a blackout. It is not
known what other companies are
submitting proposals at this time.

Some Nerve
Reader alert. Avert your eyes if
you cant stand a little blue language. Id never use such language,
Mom. Im just gonna quote because I gotta show some backbone,
some nerve, some you know.
Anyway, last week I had one
person mad at me. This week Ill
have 1,223.
You saw last weeks letters, in
the We Get Email section, right?
Someone was mad at me because I
didnt have the balls to write about
the scourge of underage drinking
and if I had any real balls Id put it
on the front page. And they made
fun of Boyleing Points. That hurt.
The letter writer said I had nothing
to say and I quote: Blah, blah, blah.
Nothing to say? This is the column of world problems. This is
the place where I talk about fight-

ing over armrests on airplanes.
This is the column where societys
mental health is threatened by the
incessant yakking of some people.
Most of you know this isnt a
pulpit, its a playground.
There are no surprises. Ive got
nothing to say and I say it loud.
Complaining about Boyleing
Points is like complaining about a
Sudoku puzzle.
Anyway back to the letter (you
can find it on our website). It was
an anonymous letter that said I
had no balls. It came in the regular mail with no return address.
It was typed and the name Coach
K was the signoff.
Let me get this out of the way. Parents, if your underage kids are drinking on the beach and leaving their
empties, do what you can to stop it.
So, there, I said it. I dont know
if that took balls or not. Coach K
also wrote: Perhaps you suffer
from fear of missing them. We all
wonder.
Yikes. The we all wonder line
shook me. Do you all really wonder that? If so, stop, youre creeping me out.
Coach K said it was not a law
enforcement issue. Well, I guess
it shouldnt be illegal then. In any

case, I hope parents, other coaches, and teachers and clergy have
gotten similar letters from Coach K.
Of course, I wondered about
the identity of Coach K. I thought
it might be Joe Kenel. But he
wouldnt waste a stamp on me
and hed more likely just shout
about my lack of balls from the
stage at a Grayriders gig.
Then I wondered if it might be
the original Coach K, Mike Krzyzewski, the famous basketball coach
from Duke University. As I was
dusting the letter for fingerprints,
a couple of Rockaway Colombos
came forth. Joe Courtney, aka The
Detective, said I was looking at the
wrong gender. As did Ed Cashen.
Really, a woman? Wow, jeez.
They narrowed it down and
even came up with a name or
two. I wish I had the balls to say
who they guessed.
Ok, now what about the other 1,223 people ready to be annoyed? Well, that many people
signed a petition to name the ferry dock after Laura Deckelman.
First of all, can we please get the
ferry here before we start naming
docks after people? Laura should
Page 5
be quite pleased and amazed that
so many people want to honor her
efforts in trying to get the ferry to
stay. She logged many a nautical
mile as she rode the ferry I guess
every day and took great photos and urged City Hall to keep
Seastreak alive. Lauras allowed
us to use her pictures; some have
been been on the front page. She
should get a lifetime discount on
the future ferry.
But Im thinking we should
hold off on naming things until
they actually exist and my second
thought is maybe we shouldnt
name things after people who are
still alive. Imagine if someone in
City Hall said were calling it the
de Blasio Boardwalk because he
almost finished it on time.
Naming things? Lets keep it
to 9/11 heroes and those whove
made the ultimate sacrifice.
Unofficial names are fine. The
Ferry Guy, is quite the honor.
Thats what people call Joe Hartigan whos been the Number One
ferry advocate for longer than anyone.
If you want to complain, you
know where to send your anonymous notes.

is Sunday. Its back on the

Sandy. It starts (at 10 am) and

Quick correction on the item
last week about Dan Guarino
getting let go by The Wave. His
column was Broad Channel
Bits (not Bits and Pieces
though we believe that was its
original name). And for those
of you trying to contact him
you can send him an email at
WorkingStories@Aol.com
*****
Its a longer piece than we
usually have but we made the
exception because we so much
love the work of Terence Winter
(The Sopranos, Boardwalk
Empire, The Wolf Of Wall Street).
Our new guy, Pat Morgan, scored
an interview with him and the
two talked for quite a bit. Just
a couple of old Brooklyn guys
shooting the bull. See page 30.
*****
Sheepshead Bites reports that
the Parks Department will begin
this week removing pilings left

over from the failed effort to put
Toilets in the Sky (the kind we
have here) in front of a condo
in Brighton Beach. The comfort
station was moved some 250
feet away after a condo started
a lawsuit because, among other
reasons, the structures would
block condo views. What about
the views from the Park Inn on
the boardwalk at Beach 116th?!
*****
Some civic-minded folks are
fed up with dog owners who
dont pick up after their dogs.
They are hoping to film and
shame them. But where can
they put the film or pictures?
Were guessing these careless,
inconsiderate people dont
read so theres no point putting
them in the paper. Tis a
bummer. On the other hand,
there is a bright side. If people
are complaining about dog crap,
things are that much closer to
normal three and a half years
after Sandy.

A local voters experience:
I dont know if this was a
coincidence but I looked up
online where I was supposed to
vote and they sent me to Seaside
Library on 116th. I usually vote
at PS 114. I was not registered to
vote there. Anyway they found
my address in the book and gave
me the ballot. It was pre-marked
Cruz. I returned it and they all
laughingly remarked on how
they were looking for that one
and I found it. I might have been
the first voter. I dont know but
Ive been hearing about voter
fraud. I should have taken a
picture.

ROCKAWAY GETS NOISY!
RAA debuted the Noisy Paint

Box exhibition on Saturday, and
it was a blast, and noisy! The idea
is to combine several sensory experiences at once to enhance the
entire, holistic gestalt. And guess
what, it works. Combining some
innovative, avant-garde art works
with music in the great sTudio
7 space gave everyone walking
around a little beat to their step.
And here is the great thingthey
served beer and wine for $3! I
mean even if you didnt like art,
and you didnt care for music,
you could really enjoy yourself for
about $20! For some nights there
is a cover charge, for instance the
Grayriders are going to perform
on May 7th and there is a charge
to help these struggling young,
musicians and artists. Ok, at least
the artists are young! My recommendation is to check out RAAs
Noisy Paint Box. Its running every
weekend through 5/22. To the curators of this exhibit, bravo!
It being Saturday night I ven-
leather-hooded guys dancing

would capture the attention of
Rockwayites. But rather than be
shouted off, they were mildly encouraged. Luckily, there wasnt
an encore and Rattrap Bumpkin
came on. If you have never seen
these guys play, there are a few
things you need to know about
Rattrap Bumpkin. First, they
write all their own music, a cover
song is a rarity. But the place was
packed and everyone knew the
words; I was impressed. Second,
they came out of the RAA scene
and have been playing together
for a long time and are very insync with each other. Third, the
bands name, is pretty original too.
Fourth, they wail! They will play all
summer long, check them out.
It got to be a little late for me and I
had to get home before the stroke of
midnight, because you know what
happens then. And because I had
shaved my beard, didnt have a tattoo, stopped drinking, and realized
that everyone else was thirty years
younger than me, it was time to go.
But I will say this about the scene, it

was happening! I met so many people who owned their own businesses. It seemed that everyone I met
was in business for themselves. Entrepreneurism was very much alive,
and thats a great thing.
The next day it was a little hard
getting up; apparently I hadnt
stopped drinking as early as I
thought. But it was time to practice with the Grayriders, even
though the big kahuna, Joe Kenel
was off in the Keys getting some
sun. AB Studios here in Rockaway
is another entrepreneur story. The
Shed as the band likes to call it,
is coming together as a studio, and
has a fun feel to it. As we were leaving Sunday afternoon, a few guys
were hanging outside getting ready
to go and run their radio station! I
said radio station!?! Yes Rockaway
has a radio station and the guys said
hey man send us some tunes
well play them!! Gotta love it!
Man, that was one Noisy Rockaway weekend! I think summer has
started!

tured down to check on my little

mermaid and merman, who were
feasting at Whits on the Boulevard. If you havent been to Whits,
you should know this; its an experience too. There is artwork on
the walls and there are four-foot
high speakers pumping out beats.
The space is small, but amazingly people move in and out of both
the front and side rooms easily.
The food is gourmet, really it is.
I have a friend who just loves it
when Whit has fish. And the man
is a personality to say the least. He
is an entertainer and he has a staff
that complements him perfectly.
My recommendation is a weekend
night to get the full experience!
After Whits I followed my two
flippered progeny into Playland.
Rattrap Bumpkin was playing as
the headliner at Playland. The
warm-up band was not my taste,
but I give them high marks for
creativity and guts. I would never believe that a drummer, a bass
player, a guy in his underwear
playing a synthesizer, and two

COUNCIL TO
VOTE TO MAKE
DEFIBRILLATORS
A VETERINARIAN TIP
AVAILABLE FOR YOUTH

BASEBALL TEAMS
On April 20th, 2016, the City
Council voted on legislation
making defibrillators available to youth baseball teams
and requiring defibrillators at
games and practices. Out of
the 51 total NYC council members, 46 voted in favor of the
legislation with four abstentions and one member out on
medical leave.
This local law, sponsored
by Council Members Steven
Matteo and Corey Johnson,
will require the City to provide automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to youth
baseball leagues playing
on City-owned land at no
cost. It would also require
the City to provide training
in the use of the AEDs at no

cost to coaches or umpires.
AEDs can be a life-saving
tool when someone suffers a
cardiac arrestthe leading
cause of death in young athletes. Blunt impacts to the
chest are a leading cause of
cardiac arrest among young
people, which can occur
during baseball when hit
by a pitch in the chest. Under the legislation, these
leagues would be required
to bring an AED to every
game and practice, and to
make efforts to ensure a
trained coach or umpire is
also present.
This bill would take effect on
January 1, 2017.
Does your veterinarian have

New York State Licensed Veterinary Technicians on staff? Licensed
Veterinary Technicians, or LVTs
as they are known are much more
than assistants to the veterinarians.
They have had to pass a New York
State licensing exam, compiled of
200 questions covering all areas
of veterinary medicine. This test
can only be taken after a rigorous
two years of intense training at an
accredited college such as Delhi,
LaGuardia, Suffolk and Mercy.
The veterinary technicians role
in an animal hospital is comprised
of being an anesthesiologist, a radiologist, a dental hygienist, and a
phlebotomist, just to name a few.
The technician is an integral part
of your pets care and needs while
in the hospital. As well as the pets
advocate, it is the LVT that spends
the most time with your pet and is

Jamaica
Bay Wildlife
Refuge
Have you
been there?
By Pat Morgan
I have lived here all my life and

didnt know this place was here!
is a common reaction that Ranger Chavone Richardson and her
colleagues often hear from new
visitors at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
The Wildlife Refuge is managed by the National Park Service
and is part of Gateway National
Recreation Area. It is composed
of the open water and intertidal
salt marshes of Jamaica Bay. It is
also one of the most significant
bird sanctuaries in the Northeastern United States and one of the
best places in New York City to
observe migrating species. More

Facts You Probably

Dont Need
A lost masterpiece by Da Vinci
is likely hidden behind a wall in
Florence, but nobody is willing
to take the wall down because
it also has Giorgio Vasari's
priceless "Battle of Marciano"
mural painted on it.
Every new issue of Hustler
Magazine has been sent to all
535 Members of Congress since
1983 by owner Larry Flynt.
While filming The Hateful
Eight Kurt Russell mistakenly
smashed a priceless 1870's
Martin Guitar on loan from
the museum when the prop
department forgot he was
holding the original. The
Martin Museum says "The
company will no longer loan
guitars to movies under any
circumstances."
KFC, in order to keep the
Original Recipe a secret, has
a company mix the first half
of the 11 spices then ship it
to McCormick, who adds the
second half to the mix before
sending it back to KFC.
United States and Russia

signed a treaty in 1967 agreeing
not to nuke the Moon.
People of Sweden love Donald Duck so much that they
had to make voting for him
illegal.
In 1996, Mary Tyler Moore
offered a restaurant $1000 to
sell her a 65 year-old lobster
so she could return it to the
wild. Rush Limbaugh then
offered $2000 to eat the lobster.
The restaurant denied both
offers and kept the lobster as a
mascot.
The USSR had a televised song
contest. Since few people had
phones back then, viewers
would turn their house lights
ON if they liked a certain song
(OFF if they didn't). The state
energy company recorded the
size of each spike and reported
the results to the station to
determine points for each
contestant.

large freshwater ponds. Like the
rest of our area, it was affected
by Superstorm Sandy. The West
Pond was breached and was
overrun with salt water. There are
plans in the works to repair the
breach, dredge the pond and restore It to fresh water. Eventually,
the native wildlife and flora will
be reintroduced. The East Pond
remains is still fresh water.
There is a wide variety of ranger
and partner-led programs offered
year-round at the site, including
presentations on seasonal wildlife, sunset tours, hikes, boat trips,
family programs and an annual
lecture series. Last week, the Refuge held a Junior Ranger program
and the children built bird feeders that they could take home.
than 330 bird species have been

spotted here in the past 25 years,
which is nearly half the species in
the Northeast. It is also a haven
for 72 species of butterflies.
The Wildlife Refuge also provides habitat for a wide variety
of flora and fauna, both marine
and terrestrial. It is a prime location for diamondback turtles
and horseshoe crabs (there is an
annual Horseshoe Crab Walk on
Sunday, May 22nd at 9AM). The
primary diet of the Diamondback
terrapins include fish, snails,
worms, clams, crabs and marsh
plants, many of which are abundant in these marshlands.
There are approximately 21 Osprey platforms in the Jamaica Bay
area. A big attraction is the two
mating pairs that are visible: one
nest off of Cross Bay Blvd and another within the refuge that can
be viewed from the Visitor Center
on a high powered telescope.
The male ospreys arrive at the
nest first and tidy it up in preparation of the females arrival explained Ranger Chavone.

The Visitor Contact Station welcomes visitors and is the starting

point for many guided programs.
It is also home to exhibits that
highlight Jamaica Bays remarkable plant and animal life, history,
and the continuing human impact on the nature of the bay. Also
in the station is a gift shop, where
one can buy books, hats, jackets,
and a board game called BirdOpoly. If you are just curious, the rangers welcome visitors who want to
come in and ask questions.
There are two trails open yearround circling the West Pond; a
short trail lasting 30 minutes and
a longer trail that circles the pond
that is 90 minutes long. The northern point of the longer trails boasts
a breathtaking view of The Freedom Tower as well as the rest of the
Manhattan skyline. There are also
a mix of year-round and seasonal
trails along the East Pond.
The Refuge is always willing to
accept volunteers. Enthusiastic volunteers were doing their good deed
for Earth Day by going around the
area and picking up garbage.
The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
is located off on Cross Bay Blvd. just
north of Broad Channel, Queens. The

You hit us with your best shots

and now its time to choose the
top snaps. The Rockaway Times
received hundreds of entries for
the first Oh, Snap! Photo Contest, which ended on April 15.
Photo contest organizer, John
Cori, says there were roughly 400
entries into the contest, which
launched in January. Anyone
had a chance to submit photos falling under 10 categories,
including 1)Sunsets/sunrise 2)
jetties 3) surfing/ surfers 4) family/group fun on the beach 5)
Dogs 6) Jamaica Bay-Boats, jetskis, etc. 7) Nature 8) Rockaway
Bridges- Marine Parkway/ Cross
Bay 9) Rockaway/ Broad Channel Sports 10) Wildcard (doesnt
fit any of the categories, but its a
great photo).
Top prize for the contest is
$500 and front-page recognition
on The Rockaway Times. However, all of the photos will get
some time in the spotlight. On

Sunday, May 1, from 2 p.m. to 5
p.m., all of the photos will be on
display in 4x6 form, around the
back deck of Playland Motel (9720 Rockaway Beach Boulevard).
All are welcome to view the entries. During the event, three
anonymous judges, who have
been pre-selected, will select
three of the top photos in each
category, resulting in 30 semi-finalists.
Cori received permission from
the Parks Department to give the
photos even more of a spotlight.
Larger prints of the top 30 photos will be framed and put on
display along the boardwalk on
May 28 and 29 for Memorial Day
weekend. They will be on display again on June 4 and 5. And
on June 6, the public will have
the opportunity to vote on their
favorites and pick the big winner. More details about the voting process will be announced at
a later time.

Born Yesterday - In Town All Night!
Many years ago Grace and I were

strolling through Toys R Us looking
for the perfect birthday gift for our
girls when I happened to spy what
I thought was a unique toy guaranteed to bring hours of playful fun to
our (then) small daughters, Amy
and Vicky. It was basically a 10-foot
section of plastic track, high on
one end and ground level on the
other, upon which sat a small cart
with wheels. I immediately alerted
Grace to my find.
Are you out of your small male
mind? Its a midget roller coaster!
Well have to watch them every

second! The girls will fall out of it
and hurt themselves! Besides, its
too big, where would we put it?
Graces spoken words encompassed the three aspects of house
and family most often cited when
addressing a fathers apparent
insanity when dealing with children...supervision, physical safety
and lack of space. Okay, I thought
to myself, maybe this was a guy
thing on my part so perhaps
some female advice in this matter should not be entirely unwelcome. Thus I responded, Alright,
you got any better ideas?
[Note: Due diligence requires
that I caution all fathers from ever
using the above phrase to invite alternative ideas from their partners
in this type situation. To do so is
to admit defeat at the outset of the
battle. Any ideas forthcoming from
your spouse must be accepted
as sane, rational and final as they
were requested subsequent to her
determination that your suggestion was utterly chauvinistic, dangerous and space constrained.]
Grace pondered for a moment
and then responded, Perhaps a
small playhouse for the girls would

be a good idea. They could play inside and have tea parties. Now, I
may have been born yesterday but
I sure as heck have been in town
all night and so I immediately responded, Sounds great to me!
That weekend as we celebrated their birthdays the girls awoke
to find a small playhouse in our
homes living room. Keep in mind
that that my better halfs definition
of small was a huge 5x4-foot,
heavy plastic five-sided play house
with a domed roof some five-feet
above the floor, windows, a swing
out door, interior play sink, table
and chairs. As we watched the girls
gleefully explore their new playhouse, I could see a look of almost
serene happiness on Graces face
that silently said, I told you so!
In the back of my mind all I could
hear was This was a big mistake!
Shortly thereafter we found
that, instead of tea parties, the
girls were using the play sink in
their new house as a potty and
climbing out the window onto
the dome roof where they would
stand and try to dance. Their lack
of coordination, combined with
the law of gravity, often made their

individual returns to floor level
quite memorable. The two most
often spoken words in our house
back then were GET DOWN!
If we expected visitors, because
the playhouse took up so much
space, cleaning the living room
required us to pick up everything
on the floor and toss it inside the
play house where it was immediately grabbed by one of the girls
and thrown back out the window
as soon as our backs were turned.
Even after all these years, I refrain from telling my honey that
perhaps the play house wasnt
such a great idea after all. We had
to watch the girls every second so
they didnt fall off the roof and hurt
themselves and it took up entirely too much room. Additionally,
visitors to our home left thinking
that our idea of potty training was
somewhat strange! After all, as I
said previously, I may have been
born yesterday but I sure as heck
have been in town all night.

the new paint job I will need to
get.
I work in midtown, for many
years I took the QM16, but due
to the fact it kept its own timetable depending on how the
driver was feeling on any one
day, I eventually gave it up
and proceeded to look for another way to commute. Next
up, the Shuttle or A train from
116th Street, but once again,

waiting for a Rockaway Park
train for 30 minutes, I eventually gave that line of commuting up also. I still had options, so I also tried the drive
to the B in Sheepshead Bay
route, but again parking there
is hell on wheels on a good day
but when opposite side of the
street parking is in effect, well,
forget about getting to the city
before noon. Forget about the
ferry, that was too good to be
true like almost everything in
Rockaway.
At this point you might ask,
whats left? Fly? Cycle? Walk?
Swim? There was still one
decent option left. I would
drive to Broad Channel, park
as close to the train as I can
get and then hop on a choice
of A trains that go through
the Broad Channel station.
Granted, the Shuttle-To-Nowhere still comes through
and holds us all up, but whats
30 minutes or so between a
boss and an employee when
you are being paid to be at
your desk at 9 am and get
there at 9:30 or 10 am?
Over the past few years,
The Rockaway Times

while parked in Broad Channel, my vehicle has received
its fair share of dings and
scratches on the front and
back bumpers, which is to be
expected, we are in NY after
all. Not to mention the various cones and garbage cans
one must navigate on a daily basis in Broad Channel to
even get a parking spot (I am
talking COMPLETE blocks
marked off with garbage cans
and cones, WHY DO PEOPLE
DO THIS? One spot I get, but
seriously whole blocks are not
necessary). Yup, I can sort of
deal with those, too. However what I can NOT deal with
is getting off the damn A train
last week after being stuck on
it for 3 hours due to another
sick passenger - traffic alert,
only to finally get to my car to
see some jackass has scratched
the whole complete side of my
car. Not a light scratch, but a
deep scratch with an intent to
cause damage which in turn
would cause me to have to get a
new paint job on the driver and
passenger side of my car.
Yes, I am pissed as all heck.
I would also like to point out
I was not parked in front of
someones driveway, or too
close to their car or in a way that
would infringe on their property. I did not move a cone or a
garbage can to get the spot nor
did I park on the corner, where
cars have been dinged and the
person has driven off none of
these. I innocently parked my
car in a valid spot. So, whoever
got their cheap thrill damaging
my vehicle, that I work hard for,
I hope you feel good if you happen to read this.

Fine Them
Dear Editor:
Lets see, the boardwalk in
Rockaway Park area will not be
finished on time as promised
by the City. We would think
that the City had a signed contract with a completion date
on it for the boardwalk project. Why cant the company be held responsibly to a
signed agreement and fined.
We believe this should be pos-

affected area of our community Rockaway Park. The money
given back could be used on
other amenities for the Rockaway Park area due to this outrageous inconvenience.

Slowly..and one at a time,

various settlements on the
Marsh Islands in Jamaica Bay
faded away. As did many on
the bays shorelines. Broad
Channel is the ONLY Jamaica
Bay island community which
still survives today, despite
the efforts of New York City
and the Port Authority to be
rid of it.
Todays Ol Times shows
the last effort of the Port Authority to expand JFK Airport
with a HUGE bay landfill for
more runways. Broad Channel would have been history
if this plan was not SHOUTED DOWN in the late 1960s
(Arrow
indicates
Broad
Chan nel).
Dare You
Dear Editor:
One reason the Rockaway
Times wins awards is the governance of Editor Kevin Boyle.
Although he is master of the
personal putdown, e.g, his
own best target, he brings his
own inimitable style to this
paper.
Ive been meaning to commend him for a job well done,
and too, for the staff reporting
and good content. Consider it
done.
And I dare you to print this,
Kevin.

EMPATHY
By Helen Kilgallen
Recently, my body had an

unexpected injury that seemingly came from nowhere.
The signs were not there and
I felt super strong and flexible. I was searching for lots
of challenging yoga poses that
would help with raw emotions coming from sadness,
anger, frustrating situations
that life sometimes brings on.
The journey of yoga is moving your energy through your
body to update yourself, of-
ten liberating mind and body

from limiting beliefs. We
think we get over things, but
we really dont. The memory
is always there and for me it
usually takes residency in my
body.
The shoulders in Eastern
medicine are associated with
the lung meridian, the emotion being grief. Often, we
will hear how some people
shoulder everything in life.
Stiff shoulders and the cervical spine are often associated
with sorrow. This may seem
The Rockaway Times
far-fetched to many but I have

witnessed many shoulder injuries with unhappiness. Our
bodies are highly intelligent
and they can harbor so many
emotions.
We have the potential to
move out of suffering and
doubt, making a path for a
clear, inspired, and centered
life. It is through certain practices in yoga that open the
energy paths and gives way
to this freedom. Sometimes
we can hide in our practices
by doing the same things over
and over. I believe we need
to change it up and face our
fears, sometimes even with
an injury that teaches us empathy and compassion.
Empathy is the capacity to
understand or feel what another being is experiencing.
You need to know exactly how
it feels to walk in that other persons shoes. Empathy
leads to compassion. As human beings the ultimate gift
is to feel empathy and compassion towards one another. Opening the heart chakra
awakens us to pure compas-
sion and the desire to be of

service. Moving the raw energy of emotion into devotion.
Sometimes we must feel the
pain to have true empathy towards a person.
The human being is a vessel. In the yoga world we are
made up of five koshas (layers of being): physical, energy, mental, wisdom and bliss.
The physical is the most obvious for most of us. But delve
deeper and you begin to heal
fully from a cellular level.
The embodied bliss does not
come from our thoughts. Perception of life is seen through
a different lens as you let go
of your anger and resentment. Clarity and openness
become a way of life for you
when you open your body in
a gentle and kind way. Moving old, stagnant energy leads
to changes in perspective and
ultimately complete transformation. When grace descends you will be liberated
from attachment of thoughts,
materialistic things, etc. The
problem becomes the solution.

Remembrance
Program
On Thursday, May 5 at 7:30
p.m. Temple Beth El, West
End Temple and the Jewish
War Veterans will co-sponsor a community-wide program commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day,
also known as Yom HaShoah. This event, open to
adults and children of all
religions and faiths, will be
held in the Main Sanctuary
of Temple Beth El, 201 Beach
121st Street on the corner of
Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
This moving program begins with a candlelight procession by Survivors of the
Holocaust and members of
their families. There will be
messages from noted community members, a youth
presentation, and an opportunity to hear noted author
and lecturer Luna Kaufman. Mrs. Kaufman is internationally known and is a

tireless champion of Jewish Christian understanding and has been inspired
by Sister Rose Thering, the
Catholic nun who led the
fight to eliminate anti-Semitism from school textbooks.
Mrs. Kaufman has had the
honor and privilege of having an audience with Pope
John Paul II.
In todays troubled world
where we are confronted
with intolerance and hatred
on a daily basis, we hope
all members of the Rockaway community will come
together for this important
evening, so that we may
learn from our past in order
not to repeat it.

Mill Basin Day Camp:

Summer Paradise for Kids
By Katie McFadden
As soon as you enter Mill Basin

Day Camp, you know youre in for
a treat. With four slides connecting to an outdoor pool bigger than
most backyards, dozens or colorful rooms where different activities take place, basketball courts
and more, it could make any
adult jealous of the kids that get to
spend their summer days there.
Located just over the Marine
Parkway Bridge and behind El
Caribe (5945 Strickland Avenue) in
Mill Basin, Mill Basin Day Camp is
a hidden gem that is a discovered
treasure for the more than 1,600
children that attend each summer. With a place so close to home
that offers more than 50 activities,
introduces children to their undiscovered talents, teaches them
new things and keeps them active and entertained, it would be
a shame to let a child spend their
summer indoors, camped out in
front of a television or computer.
As time passes, were asked
to do less as human beings as

things are done for us electronically or digitally. Kids need to be
active and explore, not only their
own creativity, but to try new experiences and to not be afraid of
trying new experiences, camp
owner Jack Grosbard said. Parents need to look at their kids and
decide what do I want for my son
or daughter? Do I want them to
experience the world or do I want
them to see the world only from a
screen? Super Mario needs to be
more than a game on a personal
screen. Why cant they be Super
Mario, running, jumping, swimming and engaging with other
children?
Mill Basin Day Camp offers kids
the opportunity to be Super Mario
and beyond. At the camp, kids can
learn how to swim, play games like
kickball and wiffle ball and make
arts and crafts. They can discover
new skills such as music recording
and video editing at the Multimedia center. They can star in their
own television shows, which are

broadcasted on BCAT TV channel
13. They can learn to be a circus
performer with skills like juggling,
uni-cycling, clowning or walking
on stilts. They can use their wild
wild west imagination in Tiny
Town, which is a miniature version of an old western town. Both
girls and boys can learn to bake.
They can learn to build with floorto-ceiling Legos in the Lego lab.
They can get active on a jungle
gym, ropes course, in the gymnastics studio or on a 15,000 squarefoot sports center. They can enjoy
some screen time with different
movies in the 60-seat 3D theater,
play games in the video arcade
room or learn a new program in
the computer lab. Campers can
also go on day or overnight trips,
which they might not normally
get to go on, with parents having
busy work schedules. Some trips
include museums, aquariums,
water parks, baseball games, science centers and more.
Kids can learn hip-hop, modern

or jazz dance in one of two dance
studios, learn an instrument in a
rock band, practice their singing
with karaoke, or show off their
acting talents in the drama theatre. The camp holds talent shows,
where campers can show off their
newly-discovered or developed
talents, without being judged by
fellow campers.
There are so many things for
kids to try outside of what theyre
usually shown. We really want to
show them that its okay to try as
much as they like to or as little as
they want, Grosbard said. We
promote creativity and imagination and we feed into what the
kids like to do, but maybe they
dont know how to do it. No matter how you do it, its fine. The kids
are non-judgmental. Its a nice

thing for them. Its a safe place for

them to be themselves and to let
others see them as themselves.
The camp makes the day as
fun as possible for the kids and
as convenient as possible for
the parents. The camp provides
round-trip transportation on
air-conditioned buses, to bring
them between their homes and
camp. Grosbard says there are
three buses alone that make trips
to pick up children on the Rockaway peninsula and they make
trips as far as Long Island.
The cost of camp can seem
pricey, ranging but $1,800 to
$2,900 for the summer depending
on the age, number or days and
number of weeks a camper registers for, but the costs are a bargain
compared to the cost of babysitting. Whats the alternative? Lets
say you work 40 hours a week and
travel an hour back and forth.
Youre out of the house 50 hours
a week, paying a babysitter $10 an
hour. Youre paying for childcare
that doesnt come with food, trips,
activities and friends. You multiply that by eight weeks and youre
looking at $4,000 in childcare for

the summer, Grosbard said.
Mill Basin Day Camp is open to
children starting as young as twoand-a-half years old and ranging
to teens entering 9th grade. The
camp season begins Monday, July
5 and continues through Friday,
August 26. Campers can register
for four to eight weeks and can
participate three, four or five days
a week, so the camp offers a flexible schedule. Each camper receives a structured scheduled of
activities each day.
There will be open houses
throughout the months of April,
May and June, though the camp is
just about filled up. Private tours
can be arranged. To register for an
open house, or for more information about Mill Basin Day Camp,
call 718-251-6200 or visit http://

A Writers Road
FAMED WRITER SPEAKS TO THE ROCKAWAY TIMES
By Pat Morgan
Terence Winter knows how to

tell a story. And hes been recognized for that ability.
Four Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe, an Edgar (as in Allan
Poe, presented by the Mystery
Writers of America), and numerous others. Even if his name
doesnt quite ring a bell you
know his work. Those awards?
They come your way when you
write stuff like The Sopranos,
Boardwalk Empire and The Wolf
of Wall Street. But how he got to
Hollywood is a story unto itself.
As the youngest of five children in a working-class family
from Marine Park, Brooklyn,
Winter went with the flow during his teen years. He attended
Grady High School, a technical
school in the Brooklyn, and had
no idea what he wanted to do for
a career. His dream jobs ranged
from rock star to astronaut. But
he remembers a teacher, Lainie
Gilbert, who saw promise in his
writing and encouraged him to
continue with short stories.
His first venture into business
was after he graduated from
high school. Winter went into
partnership with his employer
and helped turn around a failing deli in Mill Basin. But he had
a falling out with the partners,
who bought him out at the age
of 19.
It was now Christmastime
1980. Winter sat in his small
Brooklyn apartment, complete
with the sad reality that comes
with an orange shag carpet and
bad paneling. He had to do
something. A Benjamin Franklin quote, If a man empties his
purse into his head, no man can
take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always
pays the best interest, steered
him to college.
It seemed New York University was a popular school and a
good place to start. He had not
taken the SATs and the only way
he figured he could enroll was to
select an obscure major. So he
chose Medieval Religion, which
the only thing he knew about
from that era was The Knights
of the Round Table. He eventu-
Terence Winter
ally settled on Political Science,
History and Journalism classes.
Although NYU had a renowned
institute of film and television,
the idea of working in that field
was far off his radar.
Besides attending college full
time, Winter worked full time
at night to support himself. He
held various jobs during that
period, including a position as
security guard at the Lutheran
Medical Center in Brooklyn and
delivering the New York Times
in Mill Basin. During his last
two years at NYU, he landed a
job as a doorman on the Upper
East Side, which allowed him to
study and write his papers for
school.
He was a doorman but hed
long had dreams of being the
guy a doorman held the door for.
As a teenager, he would wander
around the Kings Plaza mall,
specifically the upscale furniture department in Macys. This
provided motivation to keep
pushing forward. He believed
the only two professions that
would make money involved
medical or legal. Since being a
doctor was out of the question,
he opted for law school. But a
seed may have been planted
as a journalism professor, Jerry
Schwartz, wrote a letter of recommendation for Winter, but
it also included a private note
encouraging him to become a
writer.
Winter enrolled in Saint
Johns University Law School,
graduating in 1988, but with

an ever-growing pile of student
debt. He went on to graduate,
and pass the New York State and
Connecticut Bar exams.
He landed a job in Merrill
Lynchs legal department in the
World Financial Center in lower
Manhattan. Winter was present
for the stock market crash on
October 19, 1987, ironically the
same day that Jordan Belfort
(Wolf of Wall Street) was laid off
from L.F. Rothschild, down the
street.
At that point, Winter was interested in an Assistant District
Attorney job in Brooklyn. But
being $75,000 in debt at this
point, he opted for work at another law firm offering higher
pay but a fairly certain road to
boredom.
The dreary prospect made
him ask himself, What would
you like to do? The answer
was screenwriting. So, he sold
everything and moved to Los
Angeles, sight unseen.
The new, unfamiliar Los Angeles sparked creativity and
drive. He finally had purpose
and passion. He consumed
every book on screenwriting
and read every sitcom script
he could find. In order to get in
the game, a successful sitcom
screenwriter needs to be able to
write for a variety of characters.
Winter wrote a sample episode,
or spec of the show Home Improvement. He watched every
episode and deconstructed
them scene by scene in order to

write a sample script.
Sharpening his writing skills
was one thing, making necessary connections another. He
found out that a law school
classmate from St. Johns, Doug
Viviano, was bonded as a Hollywood agent so he with Dougs
permission, created an agency
under his name.
Even with this new connection, Winter continued to feel
the pressure of a ticking career
clock. He was 30 with nothing
to show for it. He started taking
his work to every production lot
in LA, under the guise of a messenger from the Doug Viviano
Agency. At least this way the
scripts made it into the building
and had a chance of being read.
Then one Friday afternoon,
the phone for the Agency rang
and an Executive Producer from
the television show Fresh Prince
of Bel Air was on the other end
looking for Doug. Since Doug
was in New York and it was after
hours, Winter pretended he was
Doug and agreed to provide the
Producer with another sample
script, this one for The Wonder
Years, working non-stop from
Friday night through Tuesday,
cranking out an episode. He
fortunately received a call back
and sold them on an idea.
The Fresh Prince opportunity
didnt go anywhere, but two of
the shows producers took notice of Winter and later hired
him for the series Sister, Sister,
a 1994 sitcom. Around that time,
Warner Brothers held a sitcom
writers workshop, where only
15 candidates were selected out
of a pool of over 2000. Winter
was one of the 15 selected for
this ten-week program that featured a different speaker every
week to broaden the attendees
scope.
Winters first staff job was on
the Fox series The Great Defender, which starred Michael
Rispoli, who later played the
role of Jackie Aprile on the Sopranos. There was also another Sopranos connection when
he met writer Frank Renzulli,
Continued on Page 31
The Rockaway Times

From Previous Page
who would later introduce him
to Executive Producer David
Chase. The Great Defender was
a series about lawyers in a stuffy
firm, which was right up Winters alley. This break supported
the adage write about what you
know.
It felt like his first real job and
it ran for eight episodes. Winter couldnt believe that he was
getting paid to write scripts and
he became an official member
of the Writers Guild. At this
point, he was saying yes to
every screenwriting opportunity. Winter hired a new agent
and began writing for the Eddie
Murphy series The PJs.
In 1997, Winters agent provided him with a video for the
pilot episode of a new series
called The Sopranos, a crime
drama television series revolving around a fictional New Jersey-based
Italian-American
mobster. He was actually trembling as he watched, thinking
that this was the greatest thing
that he had ever seen. Winter
petitioned his friend Frank Renzulli to get him on the writing
staff, but David Chase already
had selected his first year writing staff, although Winter remained involved with the show
by helping Renzulli edit episodes.
After Season One was over,
David Chase had fired the first
year writing staff, with the exception of Renzulli. Renzulli introduced Winter to Chase, who
liked an episode that Winter
wrote. Chase had made comparisons of The Sopranos series to the movies Goodfellas
and Casino, which was a challenge that Winter was prepared
to take on. His time with Chase
on The Sopranos taught Winter
everything about assembling
and running a show, almost
like an internship. He describes
Chase as gracious, funny and
one of his dearest friends.
One of the many things Winter
enjoyed about working on The
Sopranos was that they worked
eight months and had four
months off, during the shows
six successful seasons. The fourmonth layoff allowed him to write
features and movie screenplays.
When The Sopranos acclaimed run ended in 2007,
Winter continued to devel-

op programs. He was able to
schedule his next award-winning series, Boardwalk Empire,
which had Martin Scorsese attached to it. The show was an
American period crime drama
set in Atlantic City, NJ during
the Prohibition era. The chance
to work with Scorsese was hard
to fathom. Winter flashed back
to the summer of 1976 when he
and childhood friend, Bobby
Canzoneri, saw Scorseses movie Taxi Driver 15 times. Little
did he realize that 30 years later,
he would be doing a show with
Scorsese.
As they worked on the script,
Winter and Scorsese both came
to the same conclusion that
the character, Enoch Nucky
Thompson, was the epicenter of
the show. Scorsese worked into
the plot that the Prohibition period was the birth of organized
crime.
This was a special time for Winter. Besides his writing and producing success he celebrated the
birth of a son. And he was working on the screenplay for Scorseses upcoming film The Wolf of
Wall Street. Winter actually read
the entire book (of what turned
out to be a 179-minute movie) in
one sitting, which was on a plane
ride from Los Angeles to New
York. Having worked on Wall
Street himself as well as hustling
at entrepreneurial opportunities
early on, Winter understood this
character well and found the protagonist hilariously insane.
Within three months, Winter
had completed the Boardwalk
Empire pilot as well as The Wolf
of Wall Street screenplay. Then
Martin Scorsese told Winter
that he wanted him to direct the
pilot episode of the new HBO
show. When the HBO executives found out, the text message
response Winter received from
them was simply !!!!!!!!! The
show had a successful run of
five seasons, winning 20 Emmy
awards with 57 nominations.
And maybe, just maybe, Rockaway had something to do with
that success. Boardwalk Empire
was a period piece with 1920s
Atlantic City as its setting. But
the New Jersey town now has
little to show from that period and the logistics of getting
cast and crew back and forth to
south Jersey was daunting. Enter Rockaway and Fort Tilden.
The shows production company was based in Brooklyn,

which allowed access to the
citys talent pool. Eventually
more than 20 episodes were
filmed on the peninsula. The
show used the bungalows in
Far Rockaway for the early seasons where the character, Irish
immigrant Margaret Schroeder (played by Kelly Macdonald) lived. The post production
crew was able to use computer
generated imagery to erase the
modern buildings in the background as well as recreate the
old streets. The Belle Harbor
Yacht club was used to refabricate the Temple University dormitory of Nuckys nephew, Willie. A large billboard advertising
Atlantic City Real Estate could
be seen in the dunes of Arverne east and the boardwalk in
the Beach 40s was used for old
storefront scenes.
Winter noted that besides the
authenticity of Rockaway, there
is a lot of unspoiled architecture
throughout New York City that
can be used for period pieces
like Boardwalk Empire. He said
it is easier to recreate the 1920s
versus the 1970s because very
few rundown areas exist in New
York City anymore. As a matter
of fact, in the most recent series
hes involved with, Vinyl with
Ray Romano, they needed to
dump garbage on the set to recreate what the city looked like in
the 70s.
Vinyl was a long time in the
making. In 2008, Scorsese and
Rolling Stone front man Mick
Jagger were discussing a film
depicting the Rock and Roll
roller coaster ride which would
cover the main character, 1970s
Record Executive Richie Finestra, over a 40-year career. Due
to the 2008 stock market crash,
funding for the movie stalled.
Winters wife and film producer,
Rachel, suggested that the script
be done as a television series,
though that would have to wait
until after Boardwalk Empire
ended its run.
And again, Rockaway would
make its way into a Winter
production. When a Hamptons-style mansion was needed,
the Vinyl team made its way to
the beachfront houses of Belle
Harbor and Neponsit. Its style
goes beyond what New York
looked like. Scorsese and Win-
Page 31
ter went about recreating the
grittiness of the 70s by emulating cinematographic effects
from films of that era. Besides
filming techniques, the musical
soundtrack adds to that overall
effect.
Winter loved working with the
actors on the three HBO series,
The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl. All of the actors
and crew got along in a friendly and relaxed working environment. They had instituted a
no-asshole policy to ensure
checks and balances.
At the time of this article, Vinyls first season just completed. However, Winter has left the
show due to creative differences.
Winter is excited about his
upcoming project, which is a
movie about the boxer Mike Tyson, and will be played by actor
Jamie Foxx. No release date has
been set since movies can have
up to a five-year cycle from inception to release.
Winters partnerships with
David Chase and Martin Scorsese arent the only ones he can
boast about. Winter and his
wife, Rachel, have each been
nominated by the Academy
Awards. Rachel and her fellow
producers were nominated for
an Academy Award for Best
Picture for the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club. Winter was
nominated for Best Adapted
Screenplay for The Wolf of Wall
Street.
Besides being a family man
and his writing and producing duties, Winter finds time
to support a number of charities. Among them are The
Brotherhood-SisterSol, which
provides comprehensive, holistic and long-term support
services to youth who range
in age from eight to 22 and Arts
Connection, which provides innovative arts programming to
millions of students in the New
York City public school system.
Terence Winter surprised his
friends and family by leaving
it all behind to try his hand at
screenwriting in Los Angeles.
But he didnt leave it all behind,
of course. There are signs of the
kid from East 37th Street, who
summered at the Breezy Point
Surf Club, in every script he
writes. And another good thing,
theres one less lawyer. Ba-dabing!

Parent-Teacher
Conference:
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

By Kathy Louis
The last parent-teacher

conferences of the year for
public school children are
scheduled for the week of
May 10. This can be a stressful time for both teachers and
parents, especially if a child
is struggling and in danger of
failing. It is at this conference
that parents will be advised if
their childs promotion to the
next grade is doubtful.
It is very important for a
parent to know their rights
and the rights of their child.
Each child who resides in
NYC, whether a student at a
public or non-public school,
has the same rights. One of
the most important of these is
the right of a parent to be actively involved in their childs
education. Regularly scheduled parent-teacher confer-
ences are the opportunity

for parents to not only learn
more about their childs academic progress, but also to
communicate with teachers
any concerns they have.
When getting ready for the
conference, be prepared to
listen as well as question the
teacher. A parent knows their
child better than anyone else.
However, for a huge portion
of each school day, the teacher is in a position to observe
children in an environment
that parents rarely see.
In the accompanying chart
there is a sampling of possible
questions a parent might ask
to gain a better understanding of their childs educational and social progress. This

By Joan Diehl
David Greenspan was a

pied-piper of sorts, a pedagogical magician, and if you
attended his funeral last week,
youd swear you were paying homage to a celebrity or a
prince.
Hundreds
of
mourners
packed West End Temple and,
in addition to the rabbis praise
and the beautiful words of his
sisters, he was eulogized in
one way or another by family
members, former classmates,
colleagues and friends who
commented informally on Davids goodness, in and out of
the classroom.
David Greenspan began
teaching teaching at PS 114 in
September of 2015, and in a
few months magically transformed the lives of the students in his self-contained
bridge class. David Greenspan
knew how to teach in the same
way that birds know how to
fly. He could assess the potential of every student like
a loving sculptor appraises a

slab of marble. He knew that if
he worked hard enough, each
child would approach the degree of perfection that their individuality allowed. His great
love was the chisel that shaped
the academic lives of these
children into something new
and wonderful. David believed
in them and so they came to
believe in themselves. They
were nurtured by his love, ignited by his passion, and captivated by his music, and so
they learned to the tune of this
pied-pipers loving guitar.
Mr. Greenspan was their hero,
their Prince Charming, and
their beloved teacher.
Unobserved I watched him
work his magic in the classroom. I was so proud of David.
We shared a philosophy and a
past. You see, I was one of his
teachers way back when he attended PS 114.
We were all so proud of David who fit so perfectly into a
school staffed by teachers and
para-professionals who care
so much, inspire so unforgettably, and love so selflessly.

And, I want to thank Mr. Grill
for being the kind of principal
who acknowledges this kind
of love and dedication. He appreciated David and helped to
make the last days of his life
happy and rewarding.
David had a clear passion
for what he did and ultimately,
each childs needs were met.
He made an everlasting difference in the lives he touched.
His students reached for the
stars because their teacher said they could, Principal
Grill remarked.
Visibly moved, AssistantPrincipal Barbara Poggioli-Esposito, also shared her feelings, David Greenspan has
aptly been referred to as the
Child Whisperer, and in the
brief time that I knew him, I
found this to be so true. He had
the unique ability to see a hint
of light in a childs eyes and
then stoke the embers to ignite
the flame, gently guiding the
child to a place few believed
was possible. His presence in

our school and in our lives will
be truly missed.
My dear friend and colleague Judith Davidson had
this to say, Most people run
after riches or fame, but few
acquire either. Fewer still run
from both and instead engage
in daily acts of loving kindness. That was David. Thus,
he acquired for himself, the
highest accolade in Judaism,
a Kesser Shem Tov, which is
Hebrew for The Crown Of A
Good Name.
Mel and Sherry, you can
be so proud of the good son
you created. Most people live
much longer and do much less.
I pray theres some comfort
when you consider that some
of the most beautiful and wonderful things are short-lived
like butterflies, sunsets and
shooting stars. Fireworks burst
in the sky and blossom just for
glorious moments. Like David,
Nothing gold can stay.

teacher at PS 114)

Women of the Peninsula:
DIANE LIELLO AND GERRI STANSKY OF STRANDS HAIR SALON

Who runs the peninsula?
Women. A large number of local
businesses and organizations are
owned and operated by females.
And they deserve recognition.
As part of an ongoing series, the
Rockaway Times is profiling local female entrepreneurs each
week. This week is Diane Liello and Gerri Stansky, owners of
Strands Hair Salon in Rockaway
Park.
In need of a special look for
communion, prom or wedding
season, or maybe just a spring
spruce up? The ladies of Strands
invite you to let your hair down
and let them fix it up. Both Diane Liello and Gerri Stansky
bring about three decades of experience with hair to the chair,
twenty years of working together
and 12 years of serving the men
and women of peninsula with
Strands. Whether you need a
simple haircut, coloring, a new
style, a makeover, a special keratin treatment, a look for a special
occasion, makeup or you need
to pick up some jewelry, accessories or hair products, Strands
has it all. Liello and Stansky provide these services along with
a large staff that includes Sal,
Julia, Faye, Kristina, Katie, Roz,
Lauren, Bella, Jill, Sam, Nia, Kerry and Alicia.
Liello, of Rockaway Park, and
Stansky, of Breezy Point, have
long been in the beauty business. I always had an interest in
hair, so I went to beauty school
and started working in salons
right out of school, Liello said.
She obtained her license in
1987. I had two older cousins
that were hairdressers and as
a kid Id go to their house and
watch them do hair and I was
always drawn to it. I grew up
in Long Island and they offered
BOCES classes where you could
take free classes to learn a skill.
I had my license by the time I
graduated high school in 1980,
Stanksy said. Both women spent
time working at various salons
around the peninsula and Stansky had previous experience
as a salon owner when she coowned Hair We Are on Beach
Diane and Gerri

116th Street with Jill in the late
80s and early 90s. Liello and
Stansky first started working together in 1996.
Stansky and Liello say they
didnt have intentions of opening their own salon, but working
under other salons became increasingly frustrating. Its tough
owning your own business with
the way things are going in the
world today, but it came down
to working in other salons and
seeing them go under and not
directly seeing what isnt being
taken care of or done directly.
There would be times when we
ran out of supplies. A lot of the
time, the owners of salons arent
hairdressers and they dont
know what needs to be done to
keep the shop running the right
way and it got annoying. The only
way you know things are getting
done the right way is by doing it
yourself, Stansky said. At the
time, we were moving around a
lot. We decided to open our own
place for security, just to know
that wed be in one place. We
had a certain work ethic and we
wanted to share that in one salon as opposed to just in a chair
as individuals, Liello added.
On April 1, 2004, Liello, Stansky and Sal Araimo opened
Strands on Beach 115th and
Beach Channel Drive. The salon
operated at the bayside location
until Hurricane Sandy. We lost

everything in Sandy, Liello said.
Having to start over from scratch,
the ladies decided to move to a
brand new location. Liello and
Stansky opened the brand new
Strands at 104-06 Rockaway
Beach Boulevard. The ladies say
the move resulted in them losing some foot traffic, but they
gained use of a large parking lot,
something they hadnt had previously. Having parking is a big
plus in Rockaway, especially in
the summer, Liello said.
Despite losing everything
and having to start anew, the
ladies have never given up on
giving back. Every July, Strands
is closed to regular customers on one day to give back to
the Wounded Warrior Project.
When the warriors come to
town, Strands offers the soldiers and their wives any service of their choice, whether it
be a haircut, coloring, blowouts
or keratin treatments. Its one
of Strands proudest annual
events. We wanted a way to give
back to those who sacrificed so
much and it gives us such a good
feeling to be able to give back to
them, Liello said. Strands has
also offered their services to the
St. Baldricks Foundation, in
which people cut their hair to
raise money for childrens cancer research.
As both ladies have children,

they say running a hair salon
and balancing family life can
be a challenge. Your weekends
arent your own. Ive missed
things that I would do with my
kids on a Saturday. Were especially busy around the holidays. Its like any customer
service profession. You work
when everyone else is taking
off. When youre a hair stylist, you need to be dependable
because people are relying on
you, Stansky said. The client is
always first. We always try to accommodate them, Liello said.
However, serving their clients is
also the most rewarding aspect.
You can really see someone
come to life just by changing
their color or style. People can
look younger and trendier and
can change their whole look
and it feels good to make people
feel good about themselves,
Stansky said.
Despite having such a large
staff, the ladies say there is
a team atmosphere among
them. When I worked at other
salons, it always seemed very
cutthroat and people fought
over customers. We ensure that
everyone works together. If
someone is having trouble, no
one has a problem jumping in
with a curling iron. If someone
needs a certain color, everyone
brainstorms and figures out
the best way to do it. Everyone
works as a team because its
all about making the customer happy and comfortable,
Stansky said. The staff is also
constantly learning and growing. We always go to different
classes to keep up with the new
products, colors and styles.
The young girls that start here
are very eager and excited to
learn new things, which makes
us feel inspired, too, Stansky
added.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS
By Deidre M. Baker, Esq.
In March of 2014, New York

State enacted legislation, Chapter 59, which resulted in significant changes to the states estate
and gift tax laws. These changes
were important because they had
a potential effect on estate plans
already in place and estate planning moving forward. Effective
April 1, 2016 the New York State
estate tax filing threshold will be
$4,187,500 for New York State
residents passing on or after that
date.
Many people reading this article may feel that these estate tax
changes do not apply to them given the seemingly high threshold
for filing a return. It is important,
however, to understand what
your taxable estate includes before deciding to dismiss the idea
of estate planning. Often when
individuals think of wrapping up
an estate, the image of going to
court comes to mind. While this
is sometimes the case, it does not

paint the complete picture of a
decedents estate.
The taxable estate of an individual typically includes any assets that he or she may have an
interest in at the time of death,
even if those assets do not pass
through his or her Last Will & Testament. Your gross taxable estate
may also include gifts you made
during your lifetime if those gifts
are in excess of the annual gift
exclusion, which is currently
$14,000 per person per year. For
example, if you own a 401k at the
time of your death that lists your
spouse as the primary beneficiary, the value of the account is
includable in your taxable estate
when you pass despite the fact
that your wife does not need to
go to court to collect the funds in
the account.
The IRS allows individuals to
reduce the size of their taxable estates using one or more of a select
few deductions. The most well-
known and generous of these deductions is probably the Marital

Deduction. When the first spouse
passes he or she is able to pass an
unlimited amount of assets to the
surviving spouse tax free, provided the surviving spouse is a U.S.
citizen. Although it is tempting
for a married couple to rely on
this deduction when planning
their estates, it may create issues
for the surviving spouse in the future.
Estate planning is critical for
all families, not only those who
are seeking to avoid estate tax.
Your current financial situation
may lead you to believe that you
need not plan for estate taxes, but
you would be doing yourself and
your heirs a disservice for several
reasons. Most obviously, no one
knows what the future will bring
and what makes sense for your
family today may not hold true
several years down the road. Additionally, planning can be done
now that will leave your family
with more options at your passing, reducing both your potential

tax liability and their stress. This
planning can be as simple as executing a Last Will and Testament
with provisions authorizing your
executor to make a charitable gift
in order to reduce your estate.
While these changes will allow
many to avoid estate tax, as New
Yorks exclusion amount continues to rise, estate planning has
become increasingly complex. It is
important for individuals to regularly review estate plans with their
attorneys to ensure that they are
maximizing the gifts they are leaving behind for loved ones by avoiding heavy taxes where possible.

On The Road With Rover And Rosa

PART 2 HONEYMOON LAO-STYLE (ADVENTURE TALE)
By Wild Rover
In Part 1 I mentioned some of

the great day trips you can take
in Laos, so let me tell you about
the adventure that I got us into.
We wanted to do something authentic and maybe challenging
after spending the first 4 days in
the mellow Luang Prabang bubble, so I signed us up for a 2-day
tour that included an overnight
homestay in a local village. We
signed up for a trek at one of the
storefront agencies that dot the
main strip walking home from
dinner, and just like that we had
plans to set off the next morning.
The itinerary included an intermediate 5 hour trek to the village
on day 1, homestay in the village,
90 minute trek down the mountain to the Mekong and beginner
kayak down the Mekong home.
Easy enough, right?
After about a bumpy hour drive
on a tuk tuk that was like a miniature semi-enclosed pick-up truck
we began the trek into the mountains. We realized two things
almost right away. First, wow is
this going to be a beautiful hike.
We passed through rolling green
hills of rice paddies, streams,
and pasture, dotted with the occasional bamboo enclosure to
protect the local farmers from
the sun, all without seeing barely
another soul beyond a few farmers. The second thing we realized
was good God this trek is going to
be a helluva lot harder than intermediate. The trek lasted for 6
miles, finishing on top of a mini
mountain, which is where the
village sat. Although a gradual
incline for most of the trek, it still
ended on the top of a mountain
and would have been plenty hard
in the best of conditions. Then,
throw in the fact that it was literally 100 degrees and we hiked from
11-4, with 7 liters of water in our
packs along with our other supplies, and it became the Bataan
Death March. I think Lao people are so nice they dont want to
brag so they say things are easier
than they are, but it wasnt just
the Western sissies, our guides
were toast as well. After 3-4
MUCH needed breaks, including eating lunch under one of the
open bamboo enclosures next to

a Hmong farmer, we made it to
the village. Arriving at dusk to the
mountaintop village shared by
Hmong and Khmu peoples (we
stayed on the Khmu side) was
quite the experience despite our
exhaustion. And of course the
night was only beginning.
The village consisted of about
30 families/bamboo huts. No
plumbing, no electricity. This guy
really knows how to pick a honeymoon spot, huh? First things first
is our shower, which involved
going down to the spring with the
other villagers while Irish Rosa
dumped a bucket of ice cold water on my head with me in a bathing suit. Very Shantaram-esque.
IR used some woman tricks and
somehow got cleaner than I did
using only baby wipes. We have
our own hut on one of the higher hills in the village, so we have
dinner as we overlook the village
winding down for the day before
settling in for the night at 7 pm
when it gets pitch black. Only the
village was settling in for the night
like a block party settles down in
the South Bronx. We are huddled
in our mosquito net in the pitch
black of our hut (thank God for
iPads) while music blasts, dogs
bark/wrestle, hogs roam around
the elevated hut, and roosters call
out to each other. All. Night. Long.
Not to mention we are already

jumpy sleeping in the jungle next
to all kinds of critters and creatures. Nothing but the best for my
wife on our honeymoon. Thankfully we carved out 4-5 hours of
sleep out of sheer exhaustion.
Sunrise over the village during
breakfast was a nice way to celebrate making it through the night.
It definitely gave us a strong insight into village life and an even
greater appreciation for city life.
No rest for the weary though,
so we trek down the mountain
on a shorter but steeper route
that takes an hour and a half to
the kayaks. The kayaks were incredible and much welcomed
after the scorching trek. In true
Lao fashion though the beginner
kayaks include 3 decent size rapids with some serious rocks. Our
guides are in one kayak and after they make it through the first
rapid, they look back to see how
we are doing and immediately
capsize. Beginner. Luckily my
Rockaway kayak days are stored in
my muscle memory and we make
it through all rapids no problem.
That is until our guides try to double back over the tail end of the
last rapid onto a spot on the banks
for lunch, which puts us perpendicular to the current, so of course
Irish Rosa and I flip. Up the Mekong without a paddle. Luckily Im
able to flip the boat right side up

and get us back up on the kayak in
calmer water. This is IRs 2nd time
in a kayak. Wife MVP. We actually couldnt stop laughing despite
our peril and it was a welcomed
cool down, so we were glad it happened once back on the boat. Also
in true Lao fashion the kayak trip
is 4 hours long! More than half of
which is through still water requiring serious shoulder power.
Luckily it was through some of the
most beautiful scenery, if not the
most beautiful, we have ever seen.
At one of the slow points we pass
through a section of dark green
jade water, framed by limestone
cliffs covered in jungle rising right
from the riverbanks, with no one
on the river for as far as the eye
could see other than a few solitary
wooden canoes and fisherman in
conical hats standing in the shallows. It could have been the filming location for a Jurassic Park
movie. Out of this world and if it
was in Costa Rica, let alone the
US, it would have been packed
with other tourists.
Like all great travel adventures,
it had the perfect mix of beauty,
mishaps, and laughs, and most
importantly made for a richer
understanding of the great people who had allowed us to be
guests in their country and in
their homes.

STOP DOT!
By Allan Rosen
The NYC Department of

Transportation (DOT) is out of
control. Since Mayor de Blasio
gave Commissioner Trottenberg permission last year to ignore communities when Vision
Zero is involved, DOT has been
steamrolling their proposals
without community participation. Examples are traffic
changes necessitating the rerouting of the Q54 in Woodhaven and the B36 in Sheepshead
Bay. Rockaway may be next.
The Sheepshead Bay community overwhelmingly rejected
DOTs proposals last June, and
today, they are reality.
DOT is once again asking us
just to trust them that their proposals will make streets safer
when many believe the opposite
is true. Not only will the streets
become more dangerous, but
bus commuters will also be inconvenienced. I wont bore you
with the details. If you want to
read more about what is happening in Sheepshead Bay just
go to Change.org and search
for B36 to add your voice.
The MTA is an innocent victim here because the street
traffic changes forced by DOT
is requiring the bus reroute
changes. However, unlike in
the past when the MTA was
able to express its disagreements with DOT, for example
when the Times Square pedestrian plaza was built, the MTA
is no longer able to disagree
because the DOT Commissioner is now on the MTA Board.
The MTA had complained
that the Times Square pedestrian plaza added 20 minutes
to bus running times costing
them more money, but is not
objecting to the Sheepshead
Bay proposal which forces passengers to walk an additional
block to access the subway and
places taxicabs directly in front
of the subway entrance where
the buses used to stop. We
need to make travel easier for
bus passengers, not more difficult. Having the DOT Commissioner on the MTA Board is a
conflict of interests. This needs
to change.
Something else that needs to
change is that we need more
transparency from the MTA. Its
Operations Planning Divisions
(NYCT and MTA Bus) decide
how much service bus routes
receive. Their decisions are
made in secret. Last Labor Day
passengers waited up to one
hour and three quarters for the
Q35 when returning home to
Brooklyn. Green Lines, the former operator of the bus route,
had added extra buses on the
Brooklyn - Riis Park portion of
the route on summer weekends
which has the overwhelming
majority of bus passenger traffic. The MTA, since they took
over operations in 2004, eliminated that. They also added
stops increasing demand. Yet
the Planning Units believe service is adequate on summer
and holiday weekends. How
can that be?
Could they be averaging
passenger loads on rainy days
when the buses are nearly
empty with overflowing loads
on hot summer beach days to
conclude the service is adequate? I cant think of another
explanation. If the MTA shared
their methodology with us
forthrightly, we might obtain
the answer. However, like DOT,
their motif operandi is - Trust
us because we are the professionals and we know what is
best for you because you do
not have the ability to think for
yourselves.
Yet they make mistakes in
their analyses all the time
because of just plain sloppiness and being lazy. DOT did
not even bother to run a spell
check in one of their SBS documents misspelling the word
Glossary as Glossery not
only in the text of a report, but
in a big bold heading. They
also inaccurately measured the
width of Woodhaven Boulevard, exaggerating its width to

add justification to their erroneous conclusions.
The MTA, when justifying
their 2010 bus service cutbacks, measured walking distances as the crow flies as if
bus passengers were able to
walk through buildings and
cross highways to seek alternatives so a walk of mile
was shown as a mile walk.
They also ignored topography in their analyses. Another
time they confused customers
making a round trip with passengers making a one-way trip
leading to erroneous conclusions.
However, there is a bright
spot. Unlike the planners at
DOT and the MTA who are
not willing to listen, the MTAs
bus road operations unit is

and really wants to do a good
job. I have had discussions
with them about the Q35 and
I was assured that 30 additional bus trips will be added to
the Q35 this summer as needed. I am not exactly sure what
that means since the summer
budget the MTA recently made
public does not show planned
changes to Q35 service. We will
have and wait and see what
happens.

Your Rockaway Garden
Stained
Glass Look
GROW YOUR OWN BOUQUET

By Alex Berkowitz
When we think of getting a

bouquet of flowers our thoughts
normally turn to going to a florist
or a corner deli to pick up a premade arrangement that may or
may not have our favorite flowers. They tend to be pricey so we
wind up only enjoying flowers
on special occasions. This sum-
mer is going to change all that

because with my tips and tricks
for growing beautiful flowers
for cuttings, youll be growing
and designing your own flower
arrangements throughout the
summer into fall.
My first piece of advice is that
you dont have to have a separate space to grow your flowers.
In fact, your garden looks best
when flowers that are intended
for cutting are mixed in with the
rest of the landscaping. Secondly, let yourself get creative with
what you already have growing
in your garden. Just because its
not a flower doesnt mean it cant
be used in a bouquet. Small tree
branches, stems cut from a holly
or forsythia shrub make great fillers, as do larger hosta leaves. For
a special occasion or entertaining, add fullness by mixing store
bought flowers with ones that
have been fresh picked from the
garden to give a personal touch
to a centerpiece.
Wedding season is upon us,
on what better way to add a
personal touch to a bouquet or
boutonniere than to use flowers
that youve grown for the occasion? When growing for a specific event, I would recommend
choosing one to three types of
flowers to grow, and of course
make sure that their bloom time
coincides with the event date.
That said, you dont need a special event to make an arrangement. A few flowers in a bud vase
near the kitchen sink will brighten your mood. A casual arrangement on the dining table will add
simple beauty and enjoyment
during meals. A singular rose on
a side table or bathroom sink is
effortlessly elegant. Flowers elevate our moods so spread them
around!
The following are some of the
flowers that I recommend for
cuttings that can be easily grown
in our Rockaway soil:
Seed Form: Bells of Ireland,
Snapdragon, Zinnias, Celosia,
Cosmos, and branching Sunflowers.
Bulbs Form: Oriental Lilies,
Gladiolas, Dahlias and Elephant
Ears.
Herbs: Lavender, Mint, Basil
and Rosemary.
Perennials: Echinacea, Black
Eyed Susan, Salvia, Delphinium,
Phlox and Ornamental Grasses.
Woodies: Hydrangeas, Crape
Myrtle and Peonies.
The threat of frost seems to be
over (everything is blooming two
weeks ahead of schedule!), so we
can start planting our seeds and
flower bulbs in the ground. Peonies also need to be planted very
soon as they bloom in June. Perennials can be planted all summer long and bloom until frost.
Herbs like lavender and basil
like the hot weather, so I would
recommend holding off planting them until May 15th. When
planting annuals, you may find
some in the markets that grow
taller, like coleus. Experiment
with different styles and textures of plants and you wont go
wrong. When youre cutting your
flowers, make sure to cut in the
morning before the heat of the
sun. Place the stems in water immediately to avoid wilt.
When choosing your flowers
to grow and designing arrangements, remember there are no
wrong choices or styles. Have fun
and let your personality shine!

No matter if it is a couple of glass

panes on a door, a vase you want to
decorate or some other glass item
you want to give that personal touch,
adding a stained glass look can be just
the project youre looking for.
Stained glass in itself is an art,
but you dont have to master the
art to get the same look.
Just follow these easy steps.
Most items needed can be found
at any craft store.
First: Decide on a design. You
can either sketch your design on
paper or recreate a design (or image). Your design should be big
enough to cover your glass (or fit
onto the glass as desired).
Second: Clean your glass thoroughly using alcohol and allow to
dry fully. Any moisture remaining
on your glass could affect the way
your creation turns out.
Third: For windows, tape your
design to the side of the glass
youre not going to paint. For vases
and non-flat surfaces you will need
to sketch your design on the glass

using a permanent marker (on the
side of your painting).
Fourth: Using Liquid Lead (it
comes in a squeeze bottle), carefully
trace the outline of your design. Using
a hair dryer, partially dry the Liquid
Lead then allow to fully dry over night.
Fifth: Using Acrylic Enamel Paint,
paint between the lead lines to create
your design. Using a translucent color
paint will allow light to show through.
Remember Acrylic paint holds texture, so to get a deeper color apply in
layers and keep brush strokes in the
pattern youre looking to create.
Sixth: After the original painting is
complete and fully dried, apply additional layering as needed/desired.
Seventh: Apply a clear coat
(comes in a spray can) to preserve your creation.
Eighth: This is the most important
step Take a photo of your creation
and email it to the address below.

Lacrosse Club of Rockaway Hosts First-Ever Games
Sunday was an impressive

opening day for the Lacrosse
Club of Rockaway (LCR) Natives
lacrosse teams as they suited up
for their first competition against
Docs NYC at Fort Tilden. Both
the boys and girls teams were
able to experience playing in
their first game, and they already
looked like a team after only a
handful of practices. Whether it
was passing the ball up and down
the field, cradling, scooping up
ground balls, playing defense or
shooting, the determined players

improved each step of the way.
During the Girls 5th/6th grade
competition, the girls apprehension turned to excitement as the
defensive players began forcing
turnovers, which allowed the offense to gain possession and score
the first goal in LCR history!
The 7th/8th grade girls team
competed hard against a wellcoached and seasoned Docs NYC
team. Both girls teams lost hardfought battles, but showed great
Rockaway Rugby
Fishheads In Final
By Ciaran OHara
Rockaway Rugby Club has

advanced to the Empire GU
Championship after a huge
come-from-behind win over
Buffalo RFC at their lakeside lair
in western New York. After driving 428 miles with only 17 players
(15 on the field at a time), stopping
at 3am for five hours of sleep at hotel in Rochester before completing the last leg of their journey, the
Fishheads arrived at the field and
prepared to do battle.
Rockaway found themselves in
trouble early on in the match. A flat
performance, and a couple of costly penalties saw Rockaway fall to a
19-0 deficit within 15 minutes. The
Fishheads, however, refused to
throw in the towel. Scores by outside-center Joe Wolfer, wing Matt
Perrone, and inside-center Pete
Amabile, with conversion kicks by
New Zealander scrum-half Jarrod
Mongston, saw Rockaway wrestle
the lead back from Buffalo, ending
the half with 20-19 lead.
After a violent back-and-forth
slug-fest between the two teams,
that saw multiple goal-line stands,
New Zealander 8-man, Rhys Hikuora, helped seal Buffalos fate
with a break-out, 30 meter try-scoring run in the middle of the second

half. Buffalo, however, struck back
quickly. After a long march down
the field, they scored their final try,
bringing the score back to within a
single point at 27-26. On the final
kick-off of the match, flanker Ciaran OHara laid a hit on the Buffalo
ball-carrier causing him to drop the
ball forward- a turn-over penalty in
rugby. Rockaway retained possession of the ball, spending the final
minutes battling their way toward
the Buffalo try-line, finding themselves within 5 meters of the Buffalo
try-line when the final whistle blew.
Victory was theirs.
Rockaway will face Fairfield Rugby Club at their home field this
Saturday at 1 pm in the Empire GU
final. The winner will face the New
England regional champion in the
next round of nationals.
improvement and encouraged

one another along the way.
The boys 5th/6th grade team
finished on top after a nail-biting
1 goal game. Team members challenged every ground ball and improved on their cradling and dodging skills. From tough goaltending
play, riding and clearing, and impressive offense and defense, the
boys put forth a full team effort to
secure the first win for the Natives.
LCR had an amazing turnout,
and they are very thankful for all
of their supporters- ranging from
volunteer assistant coaches, dedicated parent-helpers, and positive
enthusiasm from fans and parents
on the sidelines. The organization
is comprised of 200 boys and girls,
as well as coaches native to the area
including: Colleen Hickey, Ralph
and Liz Bianco, Andrew Sheridan,
Pat Lane, and Rob Luhrs.
With six teams total, ranging
from 3rd to 8th graders, as well as
two clinics for 1st and 2nd grad-
ers, each coach is focused on creating a positive and fun atmosphere, while teaching all players
the fundamentals of the fastest
game on two feet. I am extremely impressed with the effort put
forth from all players, coaches,
and volunteers, and I am thankful for all the positive feedback
and support for LCR. The future
looks bright for the Natives, said
director Mickey Blum.
Come out to see the Natives face off

against their next opponent Sunday,
May 1st at Fort Tilden and Beach
Channel High School. For more

Monaghan To Be Honored
AT BUCKLEYS KENNEDYS
On Sunday, May 15th, the
36th Annual Buckleys-Kennedys 5K Charity Run will
honor the memory of a
member of our community
who recently passed away,
as well as benefit the programs and services of HeartShare Human Services of
New York. The 2016 Run is
dedicated to the memory of
witty, charming and kind
Brian Monaghan, a retired
NYPD officer and vibrant
musician who, much too
soon at the age of 50, suddenly and tragically died last
year, ironically, on the same
day as the Buckleys-Kennedys Run. Brian had a generosity of spirit matched
by few, especially when it
came to helping young musicians break into the business. He and his young family brought vitality, laughter,
music and hope to our community, especially for those
diagnosed with intellectual
and developmental disabilities. He is missed terribly.
The Buckleys-Kennedys 5K
Charity Run is a respectful
way to pay tribute to his life,

and, at the same time, help
support a great cause.
As in the past, the Run will
focus on raising funds to assist HeartShare. HeartShare
continues to respond to the
families in our community
through its many programs,
including foster care, adoption, youth services, low-income energy support, and
an array of developmental
disability services for children and adults including
those on the autistic spectrum. Through its programs,
HeartShare provides essential services to nearly 35,000
New York children, adults
and families. The Buckley
family has a long and proud
relationship with HeartShare, and knows first-hand
about the great services it
provides to so very many
at-risk children, adults and
families and how those services greatly benefit our
community.

event or to register, visit

Rockaway Little League Roundup

BETTER WEATHER MEANS ACTION
While the weather gave a

mixed bag of goods, heres
hoping Mother Nature continues to shine her good
weather on Rockaway Little
League.
Now that we are enjoying better weather, RLL is in
full swing with our youngest
player clinic programs. For
the next few weeks, our Pee
Wee Girls, (players as young
as 3 years old) are learning the basic mechanics of
the game in a fun modulated environment. In just
a few weeks, our little girls
will be showcasing their big
new skills in their upcoming
games.
In other news, an exciting nail biter of a game was
played this week by the Pee
Wee Seniors as the Rockies won over the Pirates by
a score of 11-9. The Rockies scored 8 runs in their
last at bat to complete the
big comeback. Big hits were
delivered by Dylan Keegan,
Matt McDonald, Danny DeGrechie and Christian Cook.
Excellent fielding was handled by Gerardo DeBenedetto and Owen Maloney. Sean
Byrne came in to pitch the

last inning to secure the win.
Tremendous team spirit on
display from both dugouts in
the Minor Girls division this
week as the Blue Devils shut
out the Huskies in a score
of 6-0. Maeve Grace did a
wonderful job starting up
the game with her reading of
RLLs We Will team pledge.
Noteworthy on the defensive
were pitchers Ellen Zwerling and Nora Tubridy, with
strong plays by Cassie McDade at shortstop and Carly
Intrabartolo at third base.
On the offensive, lots of developing hitting talent on
the BlueDevils including upand-coming second grader
Maeve Grace...what a little
firecracker!!!!!! Mary Doyle
continues to crack the ball
and it was an inspiring team
effort by all the girls!
Major Boys Rockies - Reid
Hyman and Chris McElhinney combined for a 3 hit
shutout. Game highlights
include Nicholas Rodgers,
5 RBIs, Catcher Nicholas
Donohue firing a powerful
throw out at second when
the runner was caught stealing and a thrilling hit by
Michael Light who just fell
short of the ball going over
the fence for a homerun!
Great team work was on display as Brendan Daugherty
threw from centerfield to
Nicholas Donohue at home
plate to get the man out. We
also want to congratulate
Jake Kase on amazing game
with a single, and a steal
to second. Terrific hitting
and fielding from the entire
team!
Last but certainly not least
in Minor Boys, Pirates won
on over the As in a score of
16 to 5. Ben Gressel scored
a triple and a double for the
As while Timothy Foley had
his 1st hit of the season.
We would like to thank
families for their exuberance
with our fundraiser efforts
in conjunction with the New
York Mets. Tickets were sold
out in just one day for the

June 17th Mets-Braves game.
All ticket-holders to receive
a free Mets T-Shirt, and our
little leaguers will get to go
out on the field prior to the
game. Stay tuned for more
Rockaway
Little
League
fundraiser events.
As part of RLLs positive coaching initiative, we
shared ways to build motivation in our players by quoting professional athletes,
coaches, business leaders,
authors and philosophers.
Here are a few from our
collection:
I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. I
cant accept not trying. Michael Jordan
Part of being a champ is
acting like a champ. You
have to learn how to win
and not run away when

you lose. Nancy Kerrigan
I played as hard as I could.
Thats all I wanted to be
remembered for. Larry
Bird
I wont get upset at you
about a mistake. Ill get
upset at you for the next
mistake that comes from
still thinking about the last
mistake. Doc Rivers
You are never a loser until you quit trying. Mike
Ditka
Strive not to be a success,
but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein
Baseball is 90 percent
mental. The other half is
physical. Yogi Berra
Ability may get you to the
top, but it takes character
to keep you there. John
