SERVING SUNNYSIDE-WOODSIDE AND LONG ISLAND CITY

On August 16th, Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer and CouncilMember Letitia James were joined by Christopher Hanway, ExecutiveDirector of the Jacob Riis Neighborhood Settlement House, Robert Madi-son, Director of Senior Services at the Jacob Riis Senior Center, AprilSimpson-Taylor, President of the Queensbridge Houses Tenants Associa-tion, as well as youth and seniors to demand NYCHA repair the appallingconditions of bathrooms and expedite the installation of an air conditioningsystem at the Western Queens community center.

Over the past three years, CM Van Bramer has allocated $300,000 forthe renovation of bathrooms within the senior center as well as an airconditioning system for the popular indoor gym at Jacob Riis SettlementHouse in Queensbridge.

A recent NYCHA quarterly report highlighted the authority’s inabilityto properly distribute nearly $50 million in taxpayer dollars to repaircountless projects, including the renovation of community centers, inneighborhoods throughout New York City – including Jacob Riis Neigh-borhood Settlement House.

FINES WILL BE REDUCED BY

$10 MILLION ACROSS THE BOARDCouncil Speaker Christine C. Quinn and the Department of

Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) have reached a comprehen-sive agreement on across the board fine reductions for restaurantsthat will reduce fines to the level collected before the introductionof the letter grading system. The Department will, for the first time,set specific fine amounts for each violation. Previously, violationscould result in a fine between $200 and $2,000, at the discretion ofa hearing officer. Under the new fine structure, 60% of all violationswill be set to the minimum $200 fine, and many of the mostcommonly issued violations will be reduced by between 15%-50%from the current fine average.

Two-dozen regular customersat one Sunnyside Gardens pub havefound the perfect way to liven uptheir summer. They made a movie.

The Black Knights of Skillmanwrapped up five weeks of shootingon a recent Sunday night at Flynn’sGarden Inn. The short film, de-scribed as a gangster fantasy, is onschedule for a September 1st pre-

miere at the popular watering hole.Tommy Turner, an internation-

ally acclaimed film director andresident of 47th St., came up withthe idea and found support from thebar’s owner, Paul Flynn. “Sum-mers are always tough on the barbusiness because so many peoplego on holiday,” said the owner add-ing, “I’ve done live music, golftrips and trivia nights and nothing

compares to what’s happened here.”Flynn’s Garden Inn 46-08

Skillman Ave.) is a popular spotfor soccer fans, with PremierLeague games on all the TV screensin the daytime, but in the eveningsthe pub draws a significant artcrowd, many of whom work in thefilm, television and stage industry.

Queens Business Owners Join Council Member In Support Of Adopt-A-Basket Initiative To Help Limit Overflowing Trash Cans

On August 19th, CM and Queens Bor-ough President Candidate Peter F. ValloneJr. was joined in Jackson Heights by busi-ness owners from across Queens to unveilhis borough-wide Adopt-A-Basket initia-tive, which aims to keep our neighborhoodsclean by targeting the widespread issue ofoverflowing trashcans.

As part of the program, merchants takeon the responsibility of maintaining a basketadjacent to their businesses and are pro-vided with free plastic garbage bags, as wellas a collection schedule and a contact personat the Department of Sanitation’s local dis-trict operations office. Currently, only 1,300businesses citywide – 256 of which are inQueens – have enrolled in the program.

Vallone’s initiative enhances the ex-isting program by increasing awareness

and enrollment. As Queens BoroughPresident, Vallone also plans to installplacards on receptacles stating the nameof the adoptive business, in order to givethem the credit they deserve and furtherencourage participation. Merchantsfrom neighborhoods across the boroughhave already pledged to participate inhis program.

“The existing program is a good idea,but it doesn’t work because businesses don’tknow about it and there is little incentive forthem to participate,” said Council MemberVallone. “My plan will alert all businessesof this opportunity to help keep our streetsclean, encourage them to take responsibilityand reward them with a plaque on theiradoptive can. Sometimes, the proverbialcarrot helps.”



NYC Planning’s Vote On22-44 Jackson Ave, L.I.C.“We are aware of the New York City Department of City Planning’s unanimous

vote in favor of the variance requested by G & M Realty for the address of 22-44Jackson Avenue in Long Island City. Once City Planning delivers the application tothe New York City Council, which we anticipate to be sometime next week, I will callthe matter up. By calling it up we will trigger a 50 day window in which the CityCouncil must vote on this application. Once this happens there will be two public CityCouncil hearings at which the public will be invited to comment and testify. I willreview the application at City Planning’s recommendation. I will participate in theCity Council’s public meetings. I will also meet with various stakeholders andultimately make a decision based solely on what I believe is best for Long IslandCity,” said Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer.

Jacob Riis Settlement NeighborhoodHouse is the hub and heart ofQueensbridge, said Van Bramer. Howlong do our seniors and youth have to waitfor these renovations and improvementsto take place? It is impossible and uncon-scionable to believe that it is going to takeNYCHA nearly five years to fix our com-munity center. This is a disgrace. Wecannot and will not wait any longer. I callon NYCHA to get this work done for theresidents of Queensbridge. Not tomor-row, but today.

During the press conference, represen-tatives of Jacob Riis and seniors who haveutilized the center, some for decades, spokeabout the awful conditions they have toendure every single day and urged NYCHAto act quickly to repair conditions.

As a community-based organizationoperating in the Settlement House tradition,it is unfortunate that our Queensbridge facil-ity sometimes seems unwelcoming to the

DECREPIT CONDITIONS ATCOMMUNITY CENTER

community because of rest rooms in chronicdisrepair and a lack of air conditioning inour gymnasium/auditorium, said Christo-pher Hanway, Executive Director of theJacob Riis Neighborhood Settlement House.Council Member Van Bramer has been ex-tremely responsive to the community’s needsby allocating needed funds to make thesenecessary repairs and upgrades. I urgeNYCHA to utilize these funds in a timelymanner and give the residents ofQueensbridge the Community Center theyrightfully deserve.

The lack of safe, functional, and wel-coming rest room facilities for your partici-pants and staff, particularly our seniors andyoung people, has been a problem for sev-eral years now, said Robert Madison, Direc-tor of Senior Services of the Jacob RiisSenior Center. Our older adults are oftenforced to use the upstairs facilities becausemany of them simply will not set foot in thedownstairs bathrooms.

AGREEMENT TO REDUCERESTAURANT FINES

In addition, any restaurant whose pointtotal is less than 14 after adjudication on itsinitial inspection will not have to pay anyfines for that inspection. Finally, if a restau-rant receives a violation for a structuralirregularity, such as an improperly placedsink, but can prove that the configurationhad never been cited as a problem duringprevious inspections, that violation will bewaived, though the restaurant will still berequired to fix the problem.

Altogether, the fine reduction package isexpected to reduce total fines collected bymore than $10 million per year, and is part ofa larger set of legislative reforms that will beintroduced in the Council on August 22. Theannouncement was made at Blaue Gansrestaurant in Manhattan with Council Mem-bers, the New York City Hospitality Alli-ance, the New York State Restaurant Asso-ciation, Marc Murphy, celebrity chef, andKurt Gutenbrunner, owner of Blaue Gans.

“Restaurant letter grading was neversupposed to be a way to generate additionalfine revenue, especially since the HealthDepartment discovered long ago that higherfines don’t by themselves result in bettersanitary conditions, said Speaker Quinn.“We have to balance the needs of restaurantowners and operators with our obligation tokeep restaurants clean and safe for the pub-lic. We’ve struck that balance with the finereductions we are announcing.”

“Through the implementation of thispackage of bills the New York City Councilwill help ensure that restaurateurs no longerfeel vilified for minor infractions that sub-tract much needed revenue from their bot-tom line,” said Council Member Jimmy Van


Bramer. “I applaud Speaker Quinn for tak-ing the initiative to make these bills a prior-ity for small business owners who desper-ately called for improvements within theinspection process. By working closely withrestaurateurs and establishments we plan tosuccessfully develop an environment whereour local eateries can continue to thrive. Ilook forward to working with Speaker Quinnand my colleagues to enhance the restaurantinspection process and making it more trans-parent and inclusive of small business own-ers who are the backbone of our City’s localeconomies.”

At the Stated Meeting this week, theCouncil will introduce the five bills to im-prove the restaurant inspection system:

• LS 3454: This bill, sponsored by Coun-cil Member Vincent Gentile, would requireDOHMH to develop an inspection code ofconduct. The code of conduct will be dis-tributed to restaurateurs at their initial in-spection by DOHMH inspectors.

• LS 3455: Sponsored by Council Mem-ber James Van Bramer, this bill requires thatDOMHM to establish a consultative inspec-tion process for restaurants to assist restau-rateurs in complying with the nuances of theHealth Code as part of a cooperative processwith DOHMH.

• LS 3459: This bill, sponsored by Coun-cil Member Peter Koo, creates a Food Ser-vice Establishment Advisory Board. TheBoard will consist of ten members, someappointed by the Mayor and some by theCouncil. It will include, at minimum, repre-sentatives of food service industry, threerestaurant owners, food safety experts andnutrition experts.

SkillmanGangstersExposed!


“We had a night when we showedTommy’s films here and the reac-tion was so positive it demandedthat I pay more attention to thatcrowd,” said Flynn.

“I don’t know of any other placewhere the owner would turn overthe whole place whenever I neededto shoot,” said Turner, an under-ground avant-garde filmmaker di-recting his first project in 20 years.His films, of the Cinema of Trans-gression genre, are still shown atfestivals in Berlin, Paris, San Fran-cisco and New York City.

Turner branched out to othervisual arts and writing over the lasttwo decades wanting to return tohis favorite medium, but was waryof the new digital technology. Thatchanged when Terry Murphy, afreelance editor, moved into theapartment below Turner’s with aCanon DSLR camera and his ownFinal Cut Editing system.

“When my wife Kim and Imoved here we’d walk by the pubbut never stop in,” said Murphyadding, “but then I saw someone Iworked with in the 80’s. He waswith a group watching Turner Clas-sics: I knew we had found ourlocal.” In the spring, Murphyagreed to be Tommy Turner’s cin-ematographer.

The third component of theproduction staff fell into place whenGreg “Dutch” Edeburn returnedfrom nine months on the road as anautomation carpenter with theJekyll & Hyde tour. The 6’4” 250pound Edeburn became the film’s

production coordinator.“I do the logistics and get the

people in the right place at the righttime,” said Edeburn adding, “Theseare not trained actors and they needa little coaching and it comes to-gether.” The amateur cast rangesin age from 30’s to late 50’s.

Morgan O’Flaherty, 56, a se-nior associate at a large insurancecompany, plays “Whitey” and hasdriven some of the others crazy by

staying in character even when thecamera stops. “I’ve been a big fanof gangster movies my entire life,”said O’Flaherty adding, “To play agangster in a movie is a dreamcome true, a tremendous experi-ence.”

Eamon Blake, recently retiredafter 31 years on the NYPD, goesabout his business more quietlythan O’Flaherty.

The 6’2”, 280-pound formerLieutenant said, “”I get to make atoast and look threatening, twothings I’m very good at.”

Richard Fenwick, 36, a

structural engineer fromNewcastle Upon Tyne, En-gland , also plays a quiet toughguy. His wife Jennifer, a grantwriter from Missouri, alsoappears in the film. She feelsthat “The project has changedrelationships. You might’veknown other regulars just bytheir face. Now we’re allclose friends.”

Also in the cast are a couple

of bartenders from other es-tablishments, a doorman at aManhattan high rise, and atelevision quality controlmanager. Mike Novak, a gen-eral manager for an audiovi-sual company said of the cast,“If your car got stuck in thesnow, we’d be the folks thathelp. Make a movie and we’rethere, too.”

One cast member com-plained anonymously saying,“There are two people whocan act. The other 14 thinkthey’re all directors.”

Bartender Gerry Ryan no-ticed minor jealousies had cre-ated some bad energy, but feelsthat “The project has created adifferent vibe around here.”

On the final night of the shoot,dozens of customers stayed aroundto watch for five hours despiteshouts from Terry Murphy to “Bequiet” and “Get out of the shot.”

Work To Become A Better InvestorNext week, we observe La-

bor Day. A federal holiday since1894, Labor Day celebrates theachievements of American work-ers — people, like yourself, whowork hard for their money. But tomake progress toward your long-term financial goals, you need todo more than just earn money —you have to invest it wisely. Andthat takes work, too.

Fortunately, there’s no realmystery to the types of labor inwhich you’ll need to engage tobecome a good investor. Hereare a few suggestions:

Work to make investing a pri-ority. Many people delay invest-ing until they “have a betterhandle” on their finances. Butthese good intentions frequentlygo unfulfilled because there willalways be something else onwhich to spend one’s money. Towork toward your importantgoals, such as a comfortable re-tirement or a child’s education,you need to put away some moneyregularly. If you’re just startingout in your career, you might notbe able to afford much, but evena small amount can help. Andwhen your salary increases, socan your investment contribu-tions. To make it easier on your-self, consider arranging for yourbank to automatically move

money each month from yourchecking or savings account intoan investment account.

Work to understand what’s inyour portfolio. Some investorsaren’t certain about what invest-ments they own — and this un-certainty can lead to poor deci-sion-making if it becomes neces-sary to make changes. So makesure you know what’s in yourportfolio — and why.

Work to keep your portfoliocurrent with your goals. Even ifyou know why you initially pur-chased certain investments andhow they fit into your portfolio,you can’t put things on “autopi-lot.” Over time, your goals mayevolve, which means you’ll needto be vigilant in working withyour financial advisor to adjustyour portfolio accordingly.

Work to diversify your hold-ings. No matter where you are inyour life, you will still need todiversify your portfolio by own-ing a variety of investments —stocks, bonds, government secu-rities and other vehicles. Conse-quently, you’ll need to reviewyour portfolio regularly to ensurethat it’s still properly diversified.Diversification is a strategy de-signed to help reduce the effectsof volatility on your holdings, butkeep in mind that even a diversi-

fied portfolio can’t guaranteeprofits or protect against loss.

Work to maintain a long-termperspective. No matter what youmight hear from anyone else,there’s no “shortcut” to invest-ment success. Many people hopethey will “hit” on that one invest-ment that will make them richquickly — but that’s pretty mucha fantasy. To help achieve yourgoals, you will need to invest formany years, through good mar-kets and bad. And during thoseinevitable downturns, you’ll needto focus on your long-term ob-jectives and follow a consistentinvestment strategy, making onlythose adjustments that makesense for your situation.

As you can see, you’ll need towork on many aspects of investingto stay on the road toward success.But you don’t have to work alone:Investing can be complex, so youmay want to get help from a finan-cial professional — someone whoknows both the investment worldand your individual needs, goalsand risk tolerance.This article was written by EdwardJones for use by your localEdward Jones Financial AdvisorVincent Renda, whose office islocated at 47-01 Queens Blvd.Suite 203 Sunnyside NY 11104.Phone him at 718-361-1306.

Skillman Gangsters Exposed!

The Board will report to the Mayor andCouncil recommendations for improvingthe inspection system.

• LS 3460: Sponsored by Council Mem-ber Maria del Carmen Arroyo, this billcreates an ombuds office within DOHMHto receive comments, complaints and com-pliments related to the inspection system.The ombuds office will investigate com-plaints and take action to resolve them. Itwill issue guidance on inspections, monitorinspection results and will make recom-mendations to the Commissioner on waysto improve the process.

• LS 3976: This bill requires the publica-tion of detailed data on the restaurant in-spection process, including inspection type,specific violations cited, the number of points

“We began restaurant letter-grading toprovide an added incentive to restaurants tohave the best food safety practices. Thissystem is working: restaurant practices areimproving, and these practices are improv-ing public health,” said Health Commis-sioner Thomas Farley. “At this point, mov-ing to fixed fines will help give the systemmore predictability, and even with reducedfines, the grading system will continue toencourage restaurant managers to preparefood safely.”

All General Violations and low-severityCritical Violations will be set at the mini-mum $200. Examples of violations thatwould result in fines of $200 include: thefine for sewage disposal system in disrepairwhich would drop from an average of $348;not properly storing two sanitized utensilswould be reduced from an average of $295;and the fine for having five flies in a foodpreparation area during the fall and winterwould fall from an average of $256. Thesecuts would reduce these fines by 42.5%,32.2% and 21.9 %, respectively.

Fines for the two highest levels of Criti-cal Violations would also be reduced to$300 and $350 –down 13.9% from an aver-age fine of $349 and 16.7% from an averagefine of $420, respectively. The violationsinclude: having four or more workers in afood preparation area who are not wearing ahair cover and having six workers eating ina food storage area.

Fines for more serious violations wouldalso see appropriate decreases. For example,the fine for failing to properly cool a fooditem would drop by 22.8% from an averagefine of $324.

Finally, violations cited for items thatinvolve fundamental program integrity andoperation would be set at $1,000. Theseinclude: operating without a current permit,obstructing a health inspector attempting toinspect, tampering with a closure sign, fail-ing to post the current grade card and violat-ing a Commissioner’s Order.

In addition to the agreement to lowerfines, the following five bills which aim toimprove the restaurant inspection systemwill be introduced at the Council’s StatedMeeting this week: Council Member VanBramer will sponsor a bill giving restaurantowners and operators the opportunity torequest a consultative and ungraded inspec-tion for educational purposes; Council Mem-ber Arroyo’s bill calls for the establishmentof an ombuds office to receive and addresscomments, complaints and compliments;under Council Member Gentile’s legisla-tion, the DOHMH would be required todevelop an inspection code of conduct pam-phlet that inspectors will distribute to allrestaurant owners and operators prior to thebeginning of an initial inspection; CouncilMember Koo will introduce a bill that wouldcreate an advisory board to ensure ongoingand systemic review of the restaurant in-spection program; and finally, Council Mem-ber Reyna’s legislation would increase andimprove the reporting of restaurant inspec-tion data. “The Hospitality Alliance thanksthe Speaker for advocating for these changeswhich will save our mom and pop restau-rants and bars $10 million dollars in fineswithout sacrificing food safety at all. This isreal reform for small businesses,” said Rob-ert Bookman, General and Legislative Coun-sel of NYC Hospitality Alliance.

“The restaurant business is already oneof the hardest to make a profit, and smallerfines means more money in the pockets ofmiddle class small business owners,” saidAnthony Dell’Orto, President of the NewYork State Restaurant Association, NewYork City Chapter.
