One professor who lives in the Gardenssaid, “I am in favor of any kind of affordablehousing. At least the city is doing some-thing.” Another said, “Let’s hope they arejust saying it is ten stories, and will scale itdown, use red brick, and have it to fit in withthe neighborhood.”A housing insider said, “To build affordablehousing, they need to buy relatively cheapland and air rights which they did [fromAmtrak]. They need grants because rentswon’t pay the bills. They expect objectionsfrom the community about the height anddensity. But 20 years ago, local officialswould have made a deal to get something thecommunity really needed in exchange. Nowreal estate gets what it wants.”AMI, or Area Median Income, is used todetermine the different levels of eligibility,and those figures can be different from pub-lic understanding, due to many income lev-els being combined, and for what AMI willbe used for this proposal. That figure re-mains unavailable as of this writing. At theAugust CB2 meeting, income levels of$80,000 and $125,000 were mentioned aspossible benchmarks, making the projectseem questionable to most as housing avail-able to those who need affordable housing.

In the preliminaryproposal, reportedly:

•50% of apartments would go to tenantsearning 130% of AMI, rents from $1600-$2800•30% of apartments to those earning100% of AMI, rents from $1200-$2100•20% of apartments to those earning 50%of AMI, rents from $500-$1000

Vehement complaint came from thosewho worried about inadequate infrastruc-ture: “Cart before the horse. That street[Barnett] needs to be rebuilt. We can’t just

keep bringing in more and more people. Thesubway doesn’t work now.”

A few seem suspicious of the intentionsof the project. “They make deals so that thebuilders make money, and we foot the billforever for schools and streets. When theypassed rezoning for the Boulevard, we weretold we needed it to protect the side streetsfrom high rises. What happened to that?”

Confusing to some is that the PhippsGardens apartment complex at 51-09 39th/Middleburg Avenue, most call by its oldname, “Phipps,” had that name removed byPhipps Housing, who also now manages100% of the building. Phipps Houses is alarge non-profit corporation, which man-ages thousands of housing units all over thecity, and the same organization seeking tobuild the new structure, which is referred toby most also as “Phipps.” Residents of theexisting Phipps, containing 470 units, arealso circulating petitions in opposition, notyet submitted to Councilman Van Bramer.They claim that Phipps management soldoff the historic playground has allowed theirbuilding to “fall apart.”

Sunnysider Lisa Deller, Chair of theLand Use Committee who heard the initialproposal, asked at the August CommunityBoard 2 public meeting that Penny Lee ofthe Department of City Planning to putonline the “same thing we saw” to get ataccurate information out about the contentsof the original presentation.

At the same meeting, Chairman PatO’Brien asked, “please wait until we get theformal proposal from the Department of CityPlanning” and then react based on what theypresent. He said at this point, exact informa-tion is not available and if the 60 days did notprovide adequate time for public discussion,“we can apply for an extension.”

Last year we had projectors and not toomany students focused on the lessons, saidMuskan Sehjal, 7th grader at IS 125. WithSmarts Boards more students participateand interact in the lessons and with teachers.Smart Boards allow me to interact more in

Over the last six years Council MemberVan Bramer has allocated $5.7 million toschools throughout the 26th District in West-ern Queens. The funding has allowed schoolsin Long Island City, Astoria, Sunnyside andWoodside to purchase Smart Boards and ad-ditional laptops; upgrade computer labs withstate-of-the-art equipment; purchase up-to-date software; and provide upgrades to audi-toriums, stages and production equipment.

SKILLMAN GETS ITS GROOVEby Patricia Dorfman

“The idea began with a proposal madeJanuary 7 by Michael Murphy to theSunnyside Chamber of Commerce, tohold a D.O.T. sponsored ‘Skillman StreetFestival’ and his idea was approved andenthusiastically received by fellow boardmember Dorothy Morehead, a real estatebroker on Skillman, and okayed by presi-dent Rigo Cardoso who would do thepaperwork. Mike’s vision, though hedropped out mid-August due to the shut-tering of his business, came to fruitionlast Saturday from 4-8pm.

Credit for the success of the event, whichdrew thousands and exceeded expectationsby a mile, goes to Chamber volunteers Dor-othy Morehead and Manny Gomez whoworked to exhaustion for days to helpSkillman businesses make it happen, and toSkillman Avenue merchants in the SkillmanProject, small business owners of the kindthat made America great – hands on,hardworking, confident, ignoring naysayersand willing to take a flyer.

The merchants put in their own money toadd to the D.O.T. grant. The five-block fair,was a surprising continually shifting arrayof song, children’s events, drama, dance andphysical activities. One could walk from45th Street to 51st Street and back and catcha new delightful band or activity, sample anoutdoor Turkish grilled chicken and a craft

beer from across the street, as SkillmanAvenue became a little urban wonderland.The weather held up for outdoor servicefrom the variety of restaurants, pubs andstores, and the response from those attend-ing was overwhelmingly positive. “I wishwe could do this every week,” said one (whohad not been up since 5AM).

Indeed, no one seemed to want to gohome, as the biggest, brightest, closest“supermoon” of the year shone down andmusic changed from jazz to classical torock with local talent. Bings Hallmarkshowed up with free balloons and raffles.Kids played “night chess.” Singles whowent home came back. Silvia Hugglerhelped kids finish their mural in the dark.The NYPD helped keep everyone safe,and then helped move the tables.

All the reasons that make Sunnysideand Woodside NYC’s best neighbor-hood to live in were on display, a placesmall enough to be a cohesive, old fash-ioned enough to have local newspaper,inexpensive enough to have affordabledining, and good natured enough to be ahundred different “clans” but able torelax together find a common groove.As the man of the moonlit hour, Depart-ment of Transportation Community Co-ordinator Andrew Ronan said, “This isone of best of such gatherings I have everseen in my career.”

AFTER 20 YEARS, “TWO OUT OF FOUR TOTHE BAR” REUNITE FOR RARE PERFORMANCE

On Sunday, October 4, theKerry Hills Pub on RockawayBeach Boulevard at 115th Streetwill host a reunion performance oftwo members of Four to the Bar,an influential and wildly popularIrish band that formed in Woodside

in the summer of 1991. WhenDavid Yeates and Patrick Cliffordstep up to the microphones, it willbe the first public collaboration ofany of the four band members inalmost 20 years. The duo will beaccompanied on fiddle by Paul

Morrissett, of the Grammy Award-winning Klezmatics.

From 1991 to 1995, Four tothe Bar rose from relative obscu-rity in Woodside to become one ofthe premier Irish bands through-out the five boroughs. The bandhas been cited as an influence bymany of today’s favorite Irish art-ists, including Shilelagh Law andthe Narrowbacks, each of whichcurrently boasts a huge followingin the entire New York Metro area.

The reunion performance wasspurred by Yeates’ first visit toNew York since returning to Ire-land in 1996. “I’ll always think ofWoodside as my home in NewYork, but I’ll never forget our per-formances at the Rockaway IrishFestival,” the lead vocalist says.“The Rockaway community has aspirit and love for the music that’sjust contagious. And we would al-ways follow our appearance at thefestival with a gig at the KerryHills, so I was thrilled to hear thatCarmel [O’Sullivan, owner of theKerry Hills] is still in business,keeping the tradition alive.”

The show is scheduled to startat 7 p.m. Admission is free, butseating is limited and first-come,first-served.

WOODSIDE YOUTH CONTINUEFALL IMPROVEMENTS

by David Rosasco

Making the transition from advancing tonew areas of operation to revisiting previousones to add to the many victories of the youthof this community has been much easier thanwas expected even by them, with Kevin Qiu,9th grade student at Stuyvesant High Schoolexplaining “as we move out to the places wealready visited, you find other things weeither missed the first time, or notice therewas something we could have done better,plus it’s fun to see the work we did again.”

The past weeks have seen ever increas-ing numbers of youth desiring to powerforward on all fronts deploying all primarytasks practiced to precision, with greaterenthusiasm to pull off larger and more de-tailed projects than the last one. Saturday,September 25 was an example of such capa-bilities, as a numerous gathering of youthassembled to mulch another 32 street treesstretching from 65th to 72nd Streets alongWoodside Avenue, utilizing the natural ce-dar mulch procured for the first time fromGarden World, a local nursery located inFlushing, while cleaning the same road ofincidental garbage.

As the youth completed this task in theearly afternoon, they retired to the supply

location, switched into painting mode, anddiscovered they could indeed make the sortof improvements they sought, repainting theset of bridges on 65th Street just south ofWoodside Avenue in the common two-tonecolor scheme, easily surpassing what hadbeen an earlier success at this location 2years prior.

Sunday, September 28 saw a continua-tion of maintenance work where two youthmade time to perform multiple tasks thatwould have impeded large numbers of youth,greening, cleaning and removing graffitialong a wide-ranging circuit from 66th Streetand Woodside Avenue, reaching 73rd Streetand 41st Avenue then proceeding to Broad-way and 69th Street, ending promptly at 64th

Street and Roosevelt Avenue, confirmingwhat Kevin Qiu had stated in that there wasa fire alarm box that had been left behind inthe first pass, and scattered graffiti alongthis route.

Evelyn Gonzalez, 8th grade student at St.Sebastian and a long-time veteran of thiseffort demonstrated the leadership skills shehas learned through trial and error, assertingduring the large Saturday gathering “I’llhandle the graffiti so that the others canfocus on the mulch, so don’t worry.”
