SERVING SUNNYSIDE-WOODSIDE AND LONG ISLAND CITY

TACKLING MOREby Patricia Dorfman

Gallows-humor raffle prizes in-cluded a “trip to hell” – a one-weekMTA pass – and “#7 Train Sur-vival Kits” with trail mix and lightcamping gear for stranded passen-gers at the first “Track Meet.” Theoutreach and team building eventwas held July 10, in Sunnyside.Members of the Steering Commit-tee of the Queens-wide group7Train Blues, now under the um-brella of AccessQueens.org,handed out flyers and gathered pe-tition signatures at local subwaystops, and then convened at Side-tracks Restaurant in Sunnyside.

The organization, now num-bering over 1140 members onFacebook, was spearheaded in Feb-ruary by Sunnysider Melissa Or-lando, a nonprofit professional whoworks in Manhattan. She and othersubway users were galvanized intoaction by extreme frustration dur-ing their #7 commute.

The group approached tiredpassengers arriving home on Fri-day evening, and surprisingly, de-spite the usual disinclination toengage with people waving flyersand petitions, many were open tosigning and to hearing more aboutgetting involved. “I’m glad some-one is trying to do something,” aManhattan restaurant worker said.

The #7 train, even a few yearsago, was a strong attraction andsource of pride and affection forWestern Queens dwellers and busi-nesses, with a former commuteinto Grand Central Station wellunder 20 minutes from Sunnyside.In last few years, the train ride has

OF WOODSIDEby David Rosasco

The normal patterns of ran-dom community service projectshere or there apparently are notwhat your Woodside youth hadin mind as they powered acrossthe entire weekend through Mon-day, making July 11 to 13 specialin the sheer scale and scope oftheir work. This fact was ex-pressed by Darren Wang, enter-ing 9th grade at Stuyvesant HighSchool from September stating“I can see this mission is fargreater than I thought when Istarted, and I never knew how bigWoodside was, but also how muchwork is occurring. This is realand you feel you’re part of some-thing big.”

become, like many overcrowdedMTA subway lines, a dreaded partof a commuter’s day and it hastaken riders, for the same trip, aslong as two hours.

7Train Blues currently providesfirsthand, instantaneous details ofdelays and line status updates fromactual rider accounts. For riders sty-mied from arriving somewhere at acertain time, seemingly a primaryfunction of a public transit, gettinghelp from others in misery, via socialmedia, provides real-time assistance.

The long-term goals of AccessQueens are better service on the line:more frequent trains, accurate infor-mation, an official #7 “line review,”and a real person from MTA to whomriders can address concerns. Resi-dents’ daily commute, which loomslarge in many New York City lives,seems not just run from Albany, butfrom another planet. City officialsseem to have no better access thantheir constituents.

“One cannot determine if MTAbudget requests are justified, if theMTA is at fault, and if this is evergoing to get better,” said a traveler.Some riders say that they feel theyare powerless in a game of politi-cal football, but still forced to paythe bills in the short and long term.

Rail insiders say the problem isthat signal repair on the line shouldhave been done 20 years ago. An-other issue is that the work doneunder the East River in the tunnelsin which the #7 runs, were builtwide enough only for the slim trol-leys of yesteryear, so shutdownsare the only way work can occur.

$8.75 BILLION INVESTMENTIN HEALTHCARE INNOVATION

Congresswoman Carolyn B.Maloney (D-NY) voted to approvethe 21st Century Cures Act. Thebill delivers $8.75 billion in man-datory funding for the NationalInstitutes of Health over the next 5years to spur scientific innovationand discovery. “Every dollar weinvest in health research yieldsmore than two dollars in economicreturn, yet funding for NIH hasbeen cut repeatedly over the pastfew years because of across theboard spending cuts,” saidMaloney. “That’s why I was proudto support the 21st Century CuresAct, which will provide an addi-

tional $8.75 billion to NIH overfive years. Investing in health re-search is critically important andthis bill will go a long way towardfinding cures and treatments tosome of our most challenging dis-eases and health issues. I also ex-pect that many of the health insti-tutions that I’m proud to representwill benefit from this increasedinvestment in NIH because of theiramazing research track records.”

The 21st CenturyCures Act:

-Provides $8.75 billion in man-datory funding for NIH over thenext five years.

-Promotes the maintenance ofthe best biomedical workforcein the world, including increas-ing the diversity of the bio-medical workforce.-Modernizes clinical trials andsupports inclusion of diversepopulations in clinical research.-Encourages the development ofnext generation treatments.-Makes improvements tohow FDA approves newdrugs and devices.-Provides FDA with Resourcesto Keep Pace with Innovation.-Reduces Unnecessary Adminis-trative Burdens on NIH and FDA.



CRACKDOWNON THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL GUNS

The Problem and InadequacyOf Current Law

Firearms trafficking is a major problem thatresults in the proliferation of illegal firearms inour communities. In New York City, 90 percentof the guns used in crimes come from out of state.

Under current law, there is no criminalstatute specifically prohibiting trafficking infirearms. Instead, prosecutors rely primarily onlaws that prohibit making false statements inconnection with the purchase of a firearm.These are “paperwork” violations with penal-ties too low to be effective law enforcementtools. The result is that none of our laws aredirectly focused on preventing someone fromone state to drive to another state with strictergun laws, park their car in a parking lot, and sellhundreds of firearms out of the back of theirtrunk to criminals.

In 2013, just 10 states supplied nearly half –48 percent – of the guns that crossed state linesbefore being recovered in crimes. Together, thesestates accounted for nearly 23,000 interstate crimeguns recovered.

According to a 2013 report by Third Way,there were roughly 500,000 gun crimes everyyear in the United States. In 9 of 10 gun crimeswhere the gun was successfully traced, theperson who bought it is not the person whoused it in the crime. The report also said that 1in 3 crime guns has crossed state lines withcrime guns traced in New York, New Jerseyand Maryland often coming from Virginia,Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia andFlorida. The report concluded that guns arepurchased in the legal market and then moveinto the illegal market and gun traffickingserves as a pipeline that delivers guns into thehands of criminals. Illegal guns killed threeNYPD in the span of four months: DetectivesBrian Moore (May 2015), Wenjian Liu (Dec2014) and Rafael Ramos (Dec 2014).

The Gillibrand-Kirk bill is named for twogun violence victims. In January 2013, HadiyaPendleton, a 15-year-old student at King CollegePrep in Chicago, was killed when shots werefired into a crowd with the intention of hitting arival gang member. Two young men, MichaelWard, 19, and Kenneth Williams, 21, werecharged in her slaying. Ward was arrested inJanuary 2011 on a gun charge but received pro-bation after pleading guilty to unlawful use of aweapon. Pendleton had no arrest record and wasconsidered an unintended target. In 2009, 17-year-old honor student Nyasia Pryear-Yard wasshot and killed by an illegal gun while withfriends in Brooklyn. Witnesses said that the shoot-ing appeared to be a response to a man shoutinggang epithets from the stage.

3 NYPD OFFICERS MURDEREDBY ILLEGAL GUNS IN A SPAN

OF 4 MONTHS THIS YEAR, TIMEFOR CONGRESS TO ACT

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) withNYPD Chief of Department James P. O’Neill,Everytown for Gun Safety, New Yorkers AgainstGun Violence and Harlem Mothers Save todayannounced the introduction of bipartisan guntrafficking legislation aimed at cracking downon the daily flow of illegal guns on our nation’sstreets. Authored along with Republican Sena-tor Mark Kirk (R-IL), the Hadiya Pendleton andNyasia Pryear-Yard Gun Trafficking & CrimePrevention Act of 2015 would make gun traf-ficking a federal crime to provide tools to lawenforcement to get illegal guns off the streets,away from criminal networks and street gangs,and to prosecute those who traffic firearms. Justnine weeks ago, NY Police Commissioner BillBratton and NY Attorney General EricSchneiderman announced the arrests of multiplemembers of an illegal gun smuggling ring under“Operation Redrum” which netted 93 guns rang-ing from 22 caliber pistols to assault weaponsover a six-month period. The guns came fromout of state and were trafficked through theBronx. In 2013, 331 weapons recovered in NewYork State came from Georgia alone. Accordingto NYPD, 90 percent of the guns used in NewYork City gun crimes come from out of state,including those used in the murders of Detec-tives Wenjian Liu, Rafael Ramos and BrianMoore. Just this week, gang violence was report-edly responsible for the shooting death of afather holding his one-year-old child.

Currently, there is no federal law that de-fines gun trafficking as a crime. The HadiyaPendleton and Nyasia Pryear-Yard Gun Traf-ficking & Crime Prevention Act of 2015 wouldalso crack down on bad gun dealers. A newsreport this week highlighted the so-called “shopof death” in Georgia where illegal weapons usedto kill three police officers originated from. In2010, the same shop was named as the topsource of illegal out-of-state guns in New YorkCity. Senator Gillibrand has been working ongun trafficking legislation since 2009, and simi-lar bipartisan legislation she introduced received58 votes in the United States Senate in 2013 –just two votes shy of breaking a filibuster.

“The trafficking of illegal firearms into ourcity serves to fuel the proliferation of gun violencein our neighborhoods,” said Police CommissionerWilliam J. Bratton. “The NYPD will continue towork closely with our law enforcement partners,elected officials and the public to intercept theseweapons before they are used to commit violentcrimes and destroy innocent lives.”

When the fares increased to $2.75 in March, riders were enraged. Said one,“My being able to make a living is at risk. I can’t even take the bus because I ameven later. I can’t take a taxi because I cannot afford it and there is no guaranteeof getting to work faster.”

And some in the group seek serious acknowledgement by the city that theinfrastructure of Western Queens cannot even support current ridership, let alonehundreds of thousands more from new building – either proposed or currently underconstruction. “Is anyone in charge other than developers?” asked a disgruntled rider.“We have too many people already for this system.”

“We need improved sewer capacity, another train line, schools, parks, more firstresponders, and massive infrastructure improvements before we add more people andhousing,” said Mitch Waxman, a photographer/blogger from Astoria who attendedFriday. He playfully suggested the #7 hand signal for use underground during stationskipping and delays to commiserate.

Former and current MTA employees are members of the Facebook group, whichincludes even Gene Russianoff of the Straphangers Campaign, who is a veteran andgiant in citizen transit watchdog efforts. Steering Committee members are Chairper-son/Founder Melissa Orlando, Chris Amez, Manny Gomez, Angus Grieve-Smith,Hayes Peter Mauro, Brandon W. Mosley, Maggie Siskind, and this reporter.

Law EnforcementDear Editor,

Why is Queens - specificallySunnyside and Long Island City -so different from Manhattan lawenforcement-wise?

My wife and I ride bicyclesto where she works next toCourt Square.

And everyday we find cars andtrucks parked in the bicycle lanes.With traffic coming much fasterthan the highly touted, but widelydisregarded in Queens, 25 mph

limit we are risking life and limbevery time we have to avoid them.

Can someone convey this to thePolice Authority, Borough Presi-dent and/or whoever is supposed toenforce the traffic regulations?

Sincerely,Andrés J. García,Rosemary Rinder

Sunnyside



Saturday, July 11, for example, a gather-ing of youth and missionaries from the Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led offthe 3-day project period removing remain-ing graffiti and repainting all the publicfixtures in their path as they weaved north-ward from 37 Avenue in a zig-zag route from51 to 58 Street, essentially pushing the areaof operations close enough to where, onSunday, July 12, yet another team of youthwas able, if only for the moment, to reachNorthern Boulevard at 51 Street, the farthestnorth your youth have reached in almost 5years of this massive civic restoration project,closing in on the border with Astoria.

This same group on Sunday startedtheir day on the opposite side of Woodsideat 69 Street and 48 Avenue, removinggraffiti, performing weed trimming, treecare and cleaning operations that also leftbehind new milestones in terms of howmany simultaneous tasks your youth arecapable of conducting.

But a whole new gathering of your youth,appeared as if by the hand of Providence putthemselves at the ready on Monday, July 13,powering an extensive cleanup and weedtrimming operation on Woodside’s far east-ern border between 70 and 72 Street along41 Avenue, reconfirming that the best daysfor Woodside, indeed America, sit just overthe horizon.

The massive undertakings were bestsummed up by Seiji Ushiyama, entering 7th

grade at IS 125 from the Fall duringMonday’s work when he asserted “I can’tbelieve people would dump so much gar-bage, but we have done our work so much,that I don’t want to give up. I want people tostop doing that and see what we’re doing.”It is through the tireless, continuously ef-forts of your youth that an actual miracle istaking place in this neighborhood.
