SUNNYSIDE COMMUNITY SERVICES CELEBRATES VOLUNTEERS

KIWANIS’ ANNUAL STREET FAIR

Last Thursday, Sunnyside CommunityServices (SCS) held its annual VolunteerRecognition Celebration to honor 400 com-munity heroes. “With their gifts of time,energy, dedication to service, caring smiles,kind words, and listening ears,” stated RitaManton, director of volunteer services andcommunity relations at SCS, “our volun-teers prove every day that even the smallestacts of caring have enormous potential toturn lives around, and help build strong,healthy communities.”

The value of volunteerism is undeni-able. President Obama has been outspokenin calling on all Americans to participate inthe nation’s recovery and renewal by serv-ing in our communities. According toMichelle Nunn, CEO of Points of LightInstitute, “Volunteer service is at the centerof our national character, and volunteersembody our country’s efforts.”

“Our volunteers tirelessly take action toimprove conditions in our community,” saidTheresa Greenberg, associate executive di-rector for community services, speaking atthe event on behalf of Judy Zangwill, SCS’sexecutive director. According to Greenberg,volunteers at SCS are involved in multipleservice areas, from helping to serve over200 meals a day to teaching art, writing, andESL classes, providing administrative sup-port, tutoring high school students, and as-sisting the participants of the SCS SocialAdult Day program, among other duties.Robert McCreanor, SCS’s Second VicePresident, cited the value of volunteer ser-vice. According to McCreanor, who firstcame to SCS as a volunteer for the CollegeReadiness Program, “much of what we dealwith as board members is finding ways tokeep SCS’s programs available during toughtimes. We have many great supporters

throughout the community, but none as im-portant as each of you.” Gesturing expan-sively at the volunteers in attendance, heemphasized, “We simply could not do itwithout you.”

All of the volunteers received accoladesand certificates of honor from elected offi-cials in attendance at the event, including

Airline Slots Exchangewill Create New Jobs at

LaGuardia Airport

Written by Joanne Billharz, Photos by Carol Masiello, President Elect

U.S. Congressman Joseph Crowley (D-Queens, the Bronx), along with 39 of hiscolleagues, called on the U.S. Departmentof Transportation (DOT) to quickly approvethe agreement between Delta, US Airways,Airtran, Westjet, Spirit Airlines, and jetBlue

to exchange takeoff and landing slots atLaGuardia and Washington Reagan NationalAirports. This transaction would generatethousands of new jobs at LaGuardia Air-port, as well as increase economic activity inand around the airport.

“Our economy is on the mend, and thisproject is exactly the kind of initiative thatwill keep us moving forward,” said Con-gressman Crowley. “With the green lightfrom the Department of Transportation, this

slots exchange will give air travelers moreoptions, create an estimated 7,000 jobs inQueens and reduce air noise by removingolder, louder planes from the sky. I thankmy colleagues for joining me in the call toDOT to let this proposal move forward. ”

Under the agreement, Delta airlineswould operate an additional 110 slots atLaGuardia Airport, and would give up someof its slots at Washington Reagan NationalAirport in Washington, DC. Importantly,

the airline would subsequently begin a mul-timillion dollar construction program atLaGuardia to connect the existing Delta andUS Airways terminals. An estimated 7,000new jobs would be created as a result of thisagreement, including construction, airportoperational and tourism-related jobs. Addi-tionally, Delta would phase out use of older,loud turbo-prop planes for quieter jets –resulting in less air noise polluting the com-munities around the airport.

Sunnyside Kiwanis was happy to hosttheir annual street fair on Greenpoint Ave.They extend their thanks to the merchantswho make this possible and ask the commu-nity to tell the merchants how much theyenjoy the street fair so it can continue for thefuture. It was a beautiful day with a lot ofactivity at the Kiwanis table.

The Builders Club, a Kiwanis sponsoredyouth group at IS 125, was on hand to helpgive out candy and information. AlmostOne thousand Flag Day brochures weredispensed- so the community should expecta GREAT turnout for the Flag Day Paradeon June 12th.

When Investing, Learn Aspects of Risk In life, you can’t avoid all risks

— and you shouldn’t try, becauseendeavors that carry risk also bringthe prospect of reward. And it’scertainly the same in the invest-ment world. So instead of trying toinvest risk-free, which is impos-sible, learn to recognize the differ-ent types of investment risk whilebecoming familiar with your ownrisk tolerance.

To start with, let’s quickly lookat some of the most common formsof investment risk:

• Risk of losing principal —This is the type of risk most com-monly associated with investing.You could lose some, or even all,of your principal if you sell aninvestment, such as a stock, whosevalue has dropped lower than thepurchase price. You can’t elimi-nate the risk of losing principal,but you may be able to reduce itby buying quality stocks and hold-ing them long enough to over-come short-term market drops.

• Inflation risk — With aninvestment that pays a fixed rateof return, such as a certificate ofdeposit (CD), you run the risk ofnot keeping up with inflation,which means you could lose pur-chasing power over time. Conse-

quently, it’s a good idea not to“overload” on these types of in-vestments.

• Interest-rate risk — Whenyou own a bond, your investmentis somewhat at the mercy of chang-ing market interest rates. For ex-ample, if you buy a bond that paysfour percent interest, and marketrates rise so that newly issued bondspay five percent, the relative valueof your bond will go down; no onewill pay you face value of yourbond when they can get new onesthat pay higher rates. Of course, ifyou hold your bonds until matu-rity, which is often a good idea,you can avoid being victimized byinterest-rate risk.

• Concentration risk — Thistype of risk occurs when you havetoo much of your money concen-trated in one area, such as in aparticular stock or in one industry.If a downturn strikes that stock orindustry, your portfolio could takea big hit. To combat this type ofrisk, you need to diversify yourholdings among stocks, bonds,government securities and otherinvestments. While diversification,by itself, cannot guarantee a profitor protect against a loss, it can helpreduce the effect of volatility.

In addition to understandingthe above types of risk, you alsoneed to be familiar with your ownrisk tolerance and how it affectsyour investment strategy. If youare constantly worried about “themarket,” you’ve probably got toomany investments that are at riskof losing principal. At the otherend of the spectrum, if you’re al-ways concerned that your portfo-lio won’t grow enough to generatethe income you’ll eventually needfor retirement, you may be invest-ing too conservatively — and, as aresult, you’re inviting inflation risk.

Ultimately, you need to matchyour own risk tolerance with astrategy that allows you to achieveyour goals. This will require self-awareness, patience, discipline —and, at times, a willingness tomove outside your own “comfortzone.” By learning to balance andmanage risk, you can ultimatelyput yourself in a position to pur-sue your investment strategy.

Maloney Introduces Bill to Jump-Start Job Creation in AmericaRep. Carolyn Maloney (D-

NY) introduced legislation to en-courage innovation and economicgrowth by permitting immigrantentrepreneurs greater access totemporary U.S. visas. The billmatches legislation introduced inFebruary by Senators Kerry andLugar, S. 3029.

The “StartUp Visa Act of2010” would permit an immigrantentrepreneur to receive a two-yearU.S. visa if he or she can show thata qualified U.S. investor is willingto dedicate a significant sum to theimmigrant’s startup venture (aminimum of $250,000).

“According to Global Entre-

preneurship Monitor, in 2009 thepercentage of U.S. residents cre-ating new domestic companiesfell more than half— from 12.4%in 2005 to 8% in 2009. But overthe same period, the percentageof residents in factor- or effi-ciency-driven economies whoare creating new companies rose

to 11% from 8.7%,” Maloneysaid. “We’re clearly missing anopportunity here.”

“The entrepreneurial spirit isingrained in our country’s his-tory and success,” Maloney said.“This legislation is needed to pro-mote our global competitiveness,ensuring a strong foundation for

foreign-born, highly-skilled tal-ent to help create American jobsand promote economic prosper-ity. That talent pool has alwaysbeen a crucial factor in ourcountry’s growth, and we musttake steps to enable it to continueto do so— especially in the midstof our current recession.”

SUN LAMP AND EYES

As long as you take adequateprecautions when using a sun lamp,you should be able to protect youreyes from injury. This means fol-lowing the recommended exposuretime and keeping your eyes closedwhen the lamp is on your face. Sunlamp burn can be painful. It canfeel like there are a thousand par-ticles of sand in each eye. Theybecome very sensitive to ordinarylight, which may also cause ex-treme pain. Usually, however, thereis no permanent damage, and thepain subsides after a few days.

Sun lamp treatment is normallya safe. In fact, you don’t have togoggles as long as you keep youreyes closed before the switch isturned on and until after the switchis turned off. The ultra-violet raysemitted by the lamp will not pen-etrate the eyelids. The skin of theeyes will be slightly burned ortanned just as the rest of your ex-posed body will be. However, ifyour eyes are bothered in any wayafter a sun lamp treatment, be sureto have them examined.

CUTS RIBBON AT THE BIG SIX,CELEBRATING THE PRESERVATION OF

NEARLY 1,000 AFFORDABLE HOMESKnown as “the jewel of

Woodside”, Big Six Towers haslong symbolized safe, affordablehousing for families in Queens.The seven 16 story residentialtowers, comprised of 983 units,were placed into service Au-gust,1963. Like all aging proper-ties, Big Six had significant capi-tal needs, which totaled$11,550,000. The co-op boardmembers engaged HDC in Sep-tember 2007 to address theseneeds through HDC’s Mitchell-

Lama Preservation Programs.HDC’s involvement with Big

Six consisted of Mitchell-Lamarestructuring and repair loans thatrestructured existing debt at alower interest rate and the loanterms were extended. Addition-ally, their second mortgage nolonger accrues interest. This inturn provided low cost financingto fund the much needed projectimprovements. Finally, HDCwould charge no costs of issu-ance or commitment fees.

“Any day we are able to pro-tect affordable housing is a greatday for New York City” saidCouncil Member Jimmy VanBramer. “I am pleased that work-ing together, HPD and HDCfound a way to make these capi-tal improvements without pass-ing the costs along to our Queens’families. I would like to thankthe Mayor, HPD and HDC forensuring that this model of af-fordable housing remains for fu-ture generations to enjoy.”

TOURS THE WORLD TRADE CENTER SITECouncil Member Jimmy Van Bramer toured the World Trade Center site as a member of the

Committee on Lower Manhattan Redevelopment, Chaired by Council Member Margaret Chin.Other committee members in attendance were Council Member Stephen Levin and CouncilMember Fernando Cabrera.

“It was a great honor to tour the World Trade Center site with the Committee on Lower ManhattanRedevelopment,” said Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer. “I was pleased to meet some of the workerswho are building the Memorial and the Freedom Tower and I greatly look forward to the day that we canshare these wonderful monuments with the rest of the City and the world.”

Borough President Helen Marshall and City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer join community members as they lift theirvoices to defend Queens Library against the massive proposed budget cuts. If these cuts were to take effect, libraryservice hours would be severely impacted. Weekend service would be a thing of the past nearly everywhere in Queens.Most libraries would be open only two or three days a week and hundreds of workers could lose their jobs.Queens Library is an independent, not-for-profit corporation and is not affiliated with any other library. The QueensLibrary serves a population of 2.2 million in the most ethnically diverse county in the U.S. With a record 23 millionitems in circulation for FY 2009, the Library has the highest circulation of any public library system in the U.S. and oneof the highest circulations in the world.

200 Queens High School Students Learn Tips To “GET YOUR GAME UP”The Queens Health Coalition (QHC) recently hosted its Teen Con-

vention at LaGuardia Community College. High School students through-out Queens received helpful tips on healthy living from professionalswho spoke on a wide variety of topics ranging from driving safety, tosmoking cessation, to teen dating violence, to landing a dream job. Thefifth annual event is part of a program of QHC’s, funded by NYS Dept.of Health/Division of Family Health, entitled the Comprehensive Prena-tal and Perinatal Services Network. As Phyllis Shafran, QHC’s Execu-tive Director noted: “Many of these teenagers are at-risk of making poorhealth and social choices which will adversely affect their entire lives.We want them to know that they have options. We don’t want them tobecome another tragic statistic because of drinking and driving on promnight. We don’t want them to regret having smoked those cigaretteswhen they reach age 30. And, we want them to understand that they don’thave to give in to peer pressure! Abstinence is still the best deterrent toSTDs, HIV and unplanned births. Indeed, the message here today issimple: you can’t be on the top of your game, unless you make wisechoices that keep you in play.”

AN EYE ON GUTHRIEBY DEBRA S. GUTHRIE, M.D.

A QUESTION AND ANSWER COLUMNPlease email questions to Dr. Guthrie via [email protected]

A...This is a question that I am asked frequently. Our eyes get dry for a variety ofreasons. They may be dry from too much computer work-the staring at the screen makesus blink less and the eyes dry out, women going through menopause get dry everythingincluding the eyes, dry heat in the winter and cold air conditioning air in the summer allmake dry eyes worse. In response to the irritation from the dry eye our tear reflex kicksin...Unfortunately we don’t always produce “good” tears..so we are rewetting our eyeswith poor quality tears...so we tear too much... that causes the skin around the eyes to breakdown, make-up to run and vision to get blurry. There are some simple things to do...firstI must say that a good comprehensive eye exam is necessary to see if you have a mild,moderate or a severe dry eye. Treatment may be a simple as just consciously blinking(batting those lashes) while working at the computer, using some of the premium artificialtear preparations, using the new eye drop Restasis and sometimes putting punctal plugsin. If you find that you need an artificial tear more than three times a day...you are mostlikely a moderate dry eye. With proper diagnosis an appropriate treatment program canbe started. In time your eyes will produce a good quality tear. The goal with treatment isto have less of the excessive tearing so one can enjoy a better quality of life.

Now is not the time to vacillate about whether prices or interestrates will still drop. There is nowhere to go now but up. If rates riseto 7.5% (still historically low), the home’s price would have to bereduced nearly 20% to offset the difference in monthly payments.

Letters To

The Editor

Dear Editor,Not too long ago, I sharply

criticized the management of KeyFood in Sunnyside for years ofdelay in the promised renovationof their supermarket. But I wasdelighted to see that constructionwork has finally commenced, andthat the project is considerablygrander than originally proposed.Not only will there be a muchexpanded supermarket at QueensBoulevard and 46th Street, but alsoa four-story addition at theGreenpoint Avenue corner that willcontain office space and rentalapartments. Great news for shop-pers and for the community!

Warren G. Harris

Dear Editor,Regarding WalMart and New

York City: When I visited thePoconos, I always shopped atWalMart, for a simple reason: TheWalMart prices of everythingwere cheaper than in New YorkCity. WalMart is for shoppers, forpeople, for savers, for everybody.

The opposition to WalMart inNew York City comes from the

Unions, and the politicians theyhave in their back pocket- for asimple reason: Unions are for theirmembers first, last and only. Notfor shoppers, not for the people,but for their members. The pri-vate sector construction unions,supermarket unions make every-thing more expensive. The publicsector unions are bankrupting theCity and the State, starting withthe teachers’ unions, through thecorrupt, inflated pension paymentsystems of the Police, Fire andother City unions.

Because of its good prices,WalMart is for the people. Be-cause of their high costs, Unions

are exclusively for their members,and against the people. We thepeople need WalMart in New YorkCity, right here in Queens.

Al Volpe,Woodside
