The Rockaway Times
Living in Brooklyn during
most of the year and having a
summer home in Breezy Point,
the commute to the Brook-
lyn Navy Yard, where he starts
his shift each day, was perfect.
When Wilson graduated from
SUNY Maritime, he already had
a license to be a captain, but the
opportunity to be a captain on
NYC Ferry’s boats wasn’t open
to him until more routes were
added to the new citywide fer-
ry service. He started to train
as a captain for the service and
by August 2017, Captain Wilson
was among the many steering
NYC Ferry’s boats through New
York City’s waterways, includ-
ing the Rockaway route.
When he’s off duty, Wilson
can be found enjoying sum-
mers in Breezy, surfing in Rock-
away, fishing on the water,
snowboarding in the winter or
hitting the gym, but when he
puts on the white captain’s uni-
form for the day, he starts his
day by heading to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, where the boats are
kept overnight. He explained
that maintenance and refueling
is done there at night, which is
why the ferry system doesn’t
operate 24 hours. Depending
what route he’s working that
day, Captain Wilson will be at
the Yard as early as 3:30 a.m.
Continued on page 3
The Rockaway Times
AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!
Continued from Page 2
Each morning, he meets with
his deckhands to let them know
what he needs done through-
out the day, and then he heads
to the wheelhouse, where he
checks all of the instruments to
make sure they’re working cor-
rectly before he heads out for
his first pickup of the day.
According to Wilson, each
captain rotates through the sys-
tem’s four current routes each
week, so he has experienced
steering boats on all of them.
Which is his favorite? “It’s kind
of a tie between Rockaway and
East River,” Captain Wilson
said. “The East River route is
challenging, as it makes differ-
ent stops very frequently. The
conditions are always changing,
so it’s a fun shift to do. It makes
the day go by fast.” When Cap-
tain Wilson is on the Rockaway
route, he makes about four to
five round trips per shift, but he
often gets to see familiar faces.
“On the Rockaway route, I get to
run into family and friends and
I’ll invite them up to the wheel-
house to share this experience
THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2018
with them,” he said.
And what an experience it is.
The views can’t be beat from
the captain’s seat. After check-
ing his surroundings and the
radar to make sure he was on a
clear, safe path, Captain Wilson
shared a photo he had taken
earlier that morning—a blue,
orange and red sky behind the
full Marine Parkway Bridge as
the sun rose up behind it. Often
working the early shift, Captain
Wilson gets to experience sun-
rises that not many get to see,
plus regular close-up views of
the Manhattan skyline, the Stat-
ue of Liberty, various bridges,
Coney Island and more. “I have
the best office in New York City,”
he said.
Despite only starting as a cap-
tain last year, his skills behind
the helm are nothing short of
impressive. That was made clear
by the smooth trip and flawless
effort to dock at the first stop
in Sunset Park. Captain Wil-
son connected to the Brooklyn
landing without a bump. How
did he learn to do that? “Prac-
tice, practice, practice,” he said.
As passengers disembarked in
Brooklyn, he shared a story of
a woman that actually missed
her Brooklyn stop, because
he docked so delicately, that
she didn’t realize the boat had
stopped moving.
As he continued on to Pier 11,
Captain Wilson showed and ex-
plained some of the tools at his
disposal, including live radar
screens, which the Rockaway
boats have two of. The modern,
interactive screens show him
things like the depth of the wa-
ter below and around him and
nearby obstacles such as land
and other vessels. Captain Wil-
son said there are occasional
challenges when it comes to
dealing with other vessels on
the water. “Jet skiers are unpre-
dictable and they’re often not
educated on the rules of the
road on the water, so basical-
Page 3
ly we slow down when they're
around,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot
of close calls and near misses
on the water.” However, another
nifty tool on board is a commu-
nication system that allows the
captains to talk to any nearby
vessels with a radio system. As
he neared Pier 11, he used this
system to radio a boat coming
up on the rear, to let them know
that the ferry would be turning
into Pier 11, to avoid an at-sea
T-bone accident.
As he approached the Man-
hattan stop, Captain Wilson
announced to his passengers,
“Welcome to Pier 11,” and the
boat unloaded before a massive
crowd of beachgoers board-
ed for the return trip to Rock-
away. Curious, we asked if the
boat sinks deeper into the water
when the beach crowd boards?
“Yes,” Captain Wilson said.
As NYC Ferry gets ready to
launch its Soundview and Low-
er East Side routes later this
summer, they’re looking for
more crewmembers. If you’d

wheelhouse, head to www.fer-

Reopened Beach Fenced In With Disappointment
By Kami-Leigh Agard
Just less than two weeks ago,
when NYC Parks announced
that the two-block beach por-
tion between Beach 96th and
Beach 98th Streets was reo-
pened, local residents, busi-
nesses and visitors alike were
riding a wave of jubilee. How-
ever, now that tide is changing
because this beach reopen-
ing announcement has most
drowning in disappointment.
There is a lone sign that states:
”The beach will be closed for
a period of time around high
tide. Beach will reopen when

receding tide is past the tide
marker.”
This past Tuesday, July 10,
this narrow strip was packed
with people bemoaning that
they felt caged in, and uncer-
tain as to when they would be
kicked out because of the rising
tide. Joe from the Bronx and
his crew said they have been
visiting this strip in front of the
Low Tide Concession on Beach
97th Street for over 20 years. “I
feel like this beautiful beach is
ruined for the summer. Look
at this fence in front of me. I
feel like a caged animal. Then
what’s up with these tide mark-
ers? When the lifeguards and
Parks’ people say the tide is
coming in, they kick us all off

the beach. I usually come to
Rockaway at least weekly just
to go to the beach, but now, I
no longer have the urge. Im-
agine, coming all the way from
the Bronx, and then being told
the beach is closed because of
the tide. Do these people even
know what a rising tide is?
“And as for the City, it’s not
Parks’ fault, it’s the mayor. He
should have solved this months
ago before jolting the public
just before Memorial Week-
end that 11 blocks of Rocka-
way Beach is closed because
of beach erosion. You kidding
me? He’s more concerned
about adding housing for the
homeless. And as for all of his
grandiose announcements
The Rockaway Times
that sand replenishment is the
solution, what a big waste of
hard-working taxpayers’ mon-
ey. Ridiculous!”
One Parks’ officer (who
didn’t reveal his name), don-
ning a green shirt agreed. “I
see people coming here in
droves in the morning, and we
have to tell them they can’t go
in the water, they have to sit
behind the fenced area. People
come here to get in the water,
and they can’t. How are they
supposed to predict the rising
tide? The lifeguards are just
doing their job. Some of them
even stay in the water just to
keep people safe, and an hour
before the tide is predicted to
come in past the marker, they
have to whistle people out.
Then, we the Parks employees
become the bad guys when we
have to further enforce it.”
Local, Shane Murphy, who
works for Low Tide Bar and La
Fruteria, obliquely in front of
the reopened strip of beach,
is devastated. “The fences just

deter people away from the
beach because of how packed
it gets. If you take out the fenc-
es, there’s at least 70 feet of
shorefront. The lifeguards have
talked to me and agree. Forget
the rising tide, what if a fight
breaks out? People will be in
danger anyway, quarantined
in these ridiculous fences. It’s
pulling business away from us.
July 4 was crazy. They opened
the beach at 2 p.m., and it was
absolute madness. Plus these
Parks employees are uned-
ucated when it comes to the
ocean’s tides and waves. This
concession is amazing with
the diversity of food we offer,
but now everyone is suffering,”
Murphy said.
As for Michael Powers, own-
er of Low Tide Bar, he’s con-
founded. “These fences, the
tide pole markers are not just
confusing people, but disrupt-
ing our business. Our profit

50 percent, and the season has

Powers said.
The Rockaway Times contact-

an answer about how this can
be rectified. This was their
answer: “Parks was always
aware that communicating
around a changing tide sched-
ule would be a challenge, and
that is one of the reasons why
we didn’t open this section
initially. Ultimately, after dis-
cussions with the commu-

Worth A Visit
Dear Editor:
Thanks again for taking the
time to talk to me last week
about the Rockaways.
When you asked me what
brought me to the Rocka-
ways, all I could think of in
the moment was, “The Ra-
mones.” But I knew there
was something else…driv-
ing back to our AirBnB on
Beach 73rd Street, I remem-
bered it was the Queens epi-
sode of Anthony Bourdain’s,
“Parts Unknown,” that got
me thinking about checking
out Rockaway Beach.
What made our vacation
one was the people we en-
countered who did their
jobs with dignity…from
the lifeguards who kept the
beach safe, to the people
who served up our food at
Goody's, to the attendants
who kept M&E Wash & Dry
spotless, it was refreshing
to spend time with people
who valued our business.
Add to this, the diversity of
people I saw every morn-
ing at Dunkin’ Donuts, and

my wife and I are interested
in returning to.

Bike Sharing Coming to Town This Weekend

By Katie McFadden
You may see even more bikes
around town soon. Bike shar-
ing is coming to Rockaway as
part of a pilot program. Start-
ing as soon as this weekend,
you’ll begin to see more white
and blue, and lime green bikes
as Pace Bikes and Lime Bikes
will make their Rockaway de-
but as part of the dockless bike
share program.
On Tuesday, July 3, the
New York City Department of
Transportation announced
five dockless bike share com-
panies that will be bringing
their products to places that
don’t have as much accessi-
bility to dockless bikes that
Manhattan does, including the
North Shore of Staten Island,
Coney Island in Brooklyn, the
Fordham area of the Bronx,
and Rockaway. Coming to our
area will be Pace Bikes and
Lime Bikes, which will be all
throughout the peninsula.
Pace Bikes are part of Zag-
ster’s smart bike platform.
They will bring as many as 200
bikes to the peninsula as part
of the pilot. Pace is unique in
that it features smart bikes that
lock to fixed objects — not just
to themselves — to provide
predictability and flexibility
for riders while preserving or-
der and safety for communi-
ties. Riders can rent bikes and
park them at any public bike
rack or other legal bike park-
ing structure.
“We’re thrilled to bring Pace
to New York City, and operat-
ing in the Rockaways couldn’t
be a better fit,” Zagster CEO
Tim Ericson said. “As one of
the top summer destinations
for NYC residents and tourists,
Pace’s brand of lock-to dock-
less bike sharing will show how
dockless bikes can operate
alongside huge crowds head-
ing out to enjoy the beach.
The NYC DOT’s commitment
to expanding transportation
options across the five bor-
oughs is a clear example of an
innovative government in ac-
tion. We’re excited to continue
working with the city to make
this pilot program the most
successful it can be.”
Two of the DOT’s announced
bike share companies will also
be offering pedal-assist (aka
electric) bikes, which will le-
gally be permitted for use start-
ing July 28. Lime Bike is one of
them. Lime will be bringing
regular dockless bikes to the
peninsula until July 28, when
they’ll add pedal-assist bikes
to the mix once the new law
goes into effect.
“Lime is thrilled to roll out
our affordable, reliable dock-
free bikeshare program in the
Rockaways and Staten Island,”
Gil Kazimirov, Lime New York
general manager said. “We
look forward to working with
DOT to create new transpor-
tation options that every New
Yorker can enjoy — no matter
where they live — for a clean-
er, healthier more mobile city.”
Each company’s pricing
structure is expected to dif-
fer although dockless models
around the country general-
ly allow bikes to be rented in
30-minute increments via an
app on a mobile phone, usual-
ly for $1 or $2 per ride.
During the pilot, DOT will
carefully evaluate companies’
compliance with require-
ments around data accessibil-
ity and user privacy. Evalua-
tion criteria will also include
the safety, availability and
durability of the bikes them-
selves. In the evaluation peri-
od, DOT will also make a de-
termination on future steps,
including the possible imple-
mentation of pilots in differ-
ent or expanded geographic
areas.

WE ARE ARTIST-SCHOLARS WHO ANALYZE GLOBAL ISSUES IMPACTING HUMANITY

FOR THE PURPOSE OF BECOMING AN ENGAGED COMMUNITY INSPIRED TO CREATE.

ROCK! AWAY!
Music Festival Takes Over
the Peninsula This Weekend
By Katie McFadden
Live music puts the rock in
Rockaway and this weekend, the
peninsula will surely be rocking
as more than 60 bands will take
over nine different venues as
part of the 2nd Annual ROCK!
AWAY! Music Festival, present-
ed by Max Power.
Last year’s inaugural ROCK!
AWAY! Festival, mostly held at
Riis Park Beach Bazaar, was a
big success, but this year, it has
exploded in size and awesome-
ness. Starting Friday, July 13,
and continuing right through
Sunday, July 15, bands and mu-
sicians playing every genre of
music you can think of, will be
playing across the peninsula.
This time around, you’ll find
live music from Arverne to Riis
Park, with venues including the
Rockaway Brewing Company
(415 Beach 72nd Street,) The
Rockaway Beach Bakery (87-10
Rockaway Beach Boulevard),
Epstein’s Beach (88-22 Rock-
away Beach Boulevard), Rip-
pers Concession on Beach 86th
Street, Connolly’s on Beach
95th Street, Low Tide Bar at the
ing an acoustic set at Epstein’s,
Mobley, a pop artist that’s cur-
rently on tour around the coun-
try, playing at Epstein’s and Riis
Park, one-man band Hastings
3000, the Deaf Poets and more.
In what he calls a “labor of
love,” Preis began the ROCK!
AWAY! music brand in 2014 to
shine a light on Rockaway’s mu-
sic scene and the many venues
that host musicians. This year,
with the help of local venues
like the beach concessions of-
fering up their venues and acts,
that music scene will get more
exposure as part of the ROCK!
AWAY! Music Festival. With the
festival covering such a wide
area this year, Preiss has the
help of many like Kelly Knapp
of Noise Love, who helped book
the acts at Rippers this weekend,
Kim Gantz of Atypical Sounds,
who helped bring in heavy hitter,
Mobley to the lineup, Low Tide
bringing in Wine With Sue, Ca-
Architectural
racas who’s featuring Big Squid
, and more. “It’s people like that
who’ve helped me bring some
style made easy.

iss said. He also credits Rich Hill

POWER, says—“everything.”
very busy now but he’s still help-
ing and if it weren’t for people like
him and everyone that’s pitching
in, this wouldn’t be happening,”
Preiss added.
Most of the shows in the line-
up will be free to the public, al-
though some smaller venues like

“Hip hop, pop, jazz, punk, ga-
rage, rock and roll—it literally
covers everything. There’s even
an open mic at the Brewery on
Saturday that will allow anyone
to show what they got. We’ll also
have some great DJs at Caracas.
It’s all about people that create
and put out that great energy
that music brings,” Preiss said.
The acts will include every-
one from local favorites like Big
Squid, Wine With Sue, Rattrap
Bumpkin, Blame Mercury, the
Skells and Blac Rabbit, which
recently made it to the Ellen
Show, in the mix, plus some
other big names like Chris Shif-
flett of the Foo Fighters play-
AB Studios, Epstein’s and Rock-
away Beach Brewery may have a
cover charge from $5 to $10, but
Preiss says it’s “well worth it.” The
costs help pay for the bands that
are playing at those venues.

Army Corps Explores Giant Sea
Barrier & Other Options
By Katie McFadden
After Hurricane Sandy,
when protective measures
for our waters were being
discussed, the idea of a bar-
rier running from the tip of
Breezy Point to Sandy Hook,
NJ, was thrown around as a
possible option. That idea
seemed to fall to the wayside
for a while until last week,
when the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers announced public
meetings to discuss that and
four other options for the New
York/ New Jersey Harbor re-
gion. With short notice about
those meetings that were held
in Manhattan, Newark and
Poughkeepsie this week, the
chance to hear about these
plans has come and gone, but
the option to give public com-
ment remains open until Au-
gust 20.
Following Sandy, USACE
began looking into “measures

to manage future flood risk in
ways that support the long-
term resilience and sustaina-
bility of the coastal ecosystem
and surrounding communi-
ties, and reduce the econom-
ic costs and risks associated
with flood and storm events.”
In 2015, they conducted the
North Atlantic Coast Com-
prehensive Study (NACCS),
which identified nine high
risk areas on the Atlantic Coast
for further analysis based on
preliminary findings. Among
those were the New York-
New Jersey Harbor and Trib-
utaries Region. USACE then
began to explore options for
ways to manage flood risk in
this area and presented those
preliminary options in Sep-
tember 2017. (Note, this is a
separate issue from the Rock-
away Reformulation Study,
which would include protec-
tive measures such as jetties
on our beaches. This study is
·
expected to be released in Au-
gust.)
The focus of the public meet-
ings held from July 9-11, were
these alternatives as part of
the New York-New Jersey Har-
bor and Tributaries Coastal
Risk Management Feasibility
Study. The ideas were brought
to the public to get a better
idea of which alternatives may
be best for this region that in-
cludes the waters off of New
Jersey, New York Harbor and
all the way up to Upstate New
York. In its report, USACE ex-
plained that no alternatives
can completely eliminate the
risk of flooding in these areas,
but they can reduce the fre-
quency of flooding. The op-
tions that were given were to
1) No Action, 2) Create a NY/
NJ Lower Bay and Throggs
Neck Surge Barriers, 3A/3B)
Multiple Surge Barriers, Flood
Walls and Levee Systems, 4)
Solitary Bay and River Basin
Surge Barriers, Flood Walls
and Levees, and 5) Perimeter
Work Only.
Option 1 is exactly what it
sounds like; do nothing and
let nature take its course. Op-
tion 2 is of particular interest
to our waters, as it would in-
clude a five-mile long con-
crete and steel barrier going
through the water from Breezy
Point to Sandy Hook, NJ. In its
meetings, USACE gave sever-
al examples of these kinds of
barriers at work in places like
London and the Netherlands.
Barriers such as this would
come at a high cost of roughly
$10 to $36 billion. Options 3
is also of local interest, as 3A
would include smaller bar-
riers, including one near the
Verrazano Bridge, going from
Brooklyn to Staten Island, and
another going across the be-
ginning of Jamaica Bay, from
Rockaway to Brooklyn, plus
levees running along Brook-
lyn and Rockaway. Option
3B would also include this
Jamaica Bay barrier, plus an-
other going from New Jersey
to Staten Island, and levees
and floodwalls in various lo-
cations. Option 4 would also
The Rockaway Times
impact Rockaway, as it would
include only the Jamaica Bay
barrier, plus levees and flood-
walls in various locations. Op-
tion 5 would simply include
shoreline-based protective
measures, mostly around New
York Harbor. All of these op-
tions are conceptual, so not
many details were available.
At the New York Public
Hearing meetings, many ex-
pressed concern over the en-
vironmental impacts of the
options that include barri-
ers in the water, saying that
they would restrict water flow
and impact sealife around
New York Harbor. An article
by Riverkeeper went as far
as to say the barriers “would
threaten the very existence of
the Hudson as a living river.”
Riverkeeper advised that the
only ideal option would be
Option 5. USACE has not ful-
ly explored the environmental
impacts of each option, as this
will come in the next steps of
the study as USACE develops
a draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS).
Through the public meet-
ings, USACE is gathering info
on what should be addressed
in the EIS. While the public
meetings are over, the public
has until August 20 to weigh
in on the proposal. Comments
can be sent through email to:
NYNJHarbor.TribStudy@us-
ace.army.mil

the options can be found at:

USACE hopes to release a
draft report on their findings
in the fall of 2018. After this
report is released, further
public meetings will be held
and further public comments
will be accepted. USACE
hopes to release a final re-
port in the spring of 2021 and
submit their Chief ’s Report to
Congress by Summer 2022, so
that they can get started on
construction.

Affordable Units And Retail

COMING TO DOWNTOWN FAR ROCKAWAY
“After many decades of dis-
investment, today we are turn-
ing the page for Downtown Far
Rockaway,” so said Council-
man Donovan Richards as he
and various city agencies an-
nounced plans for 670 units of
affordable housing as part of
the redevelopment of Down-
town Far Rockaway.
On Wednesday, Richards
was joined by the New York
City Economic Development
Corporation (NYCEDC), De-
partment of Housing Pres-
ervation and Development
(HPD) and the Housing Devel-
opment Corporation (HDC) in
announcing that The Commu-
nity Builders Inc., a nonprofit
developer, will create 224 af-
fordable housing units, com-
mercial and community facili-
ty space on a City-owned lot at
Beach 21st Street.
HPD and HDC have also re-
cently closed on construction
financing to deliver 457 units
of affordable housing for the
initial phase of the Far Rocka-
way Village project, which will
transform the neighborhood’s
long-neglected shopping
center into a mix of affordable
housing, modern retail, and
public space, serving as a vil-
lage center for the neighbor-
hood.
Richards said the announce-
ment is “another step in the
direction of progress” and that
“as with every project in the
Rockaways, we will work with
the developer to ensure that
we address the highest com-
munity needs, such as daycare
services, good jobs and quality
retail.”
Less than a year ago, the City
Council approved the neigh-
borhood’s rezoning. At the
time, the City said it was “com-
mitted to reestablishing the
area as a dynamic mixed-use
neighborhood and the com-
mercial hub of the peninsula.”
“We’re making good on our
promise to Downtown Far
Rockaway. The City is deliver-
ing unprecedented investment
that will improve the lives of
residents and bring new vi-
brancy and opportunity to
the neighborhood,” NYCEDC
President and CEO James
Patchett said.
According to the City, the
Beach 21st Street develop-
ment will be transformed into
a mixed-use, mixed-income
development with more than
130 units allocated for house-
holds earning up to 60 percent
of area median income. The
remaining units will be offered
at a range of affordability lev-
els.
The project will also cre-
ate approximately 24,000
square feet of ground-floor
retail space, 8,000 square feet
of community space for ear-
ly childhood education and
other community services,
and approximately 90 park-
ing spots for residents of the
building and the public.
Adjacent to a planned DOT
pedestrian plaza and across
the street from the new Beach
20th Street plaza, the project
will deliver new retail and
housing options in a central
site in the neighborhood, en-
couraging new investment
throughout the rezoning
area.
The project is expected to
create more than 70 perma-
nent jobs and over 470 con-

Happy 50th Anniversary Pat & Tony

July 13, 1968
In 50 years you've seen a lot.
You've stuck it out and for that you've got...
So many memories, take your pick.
It all started in College, Oneonta and Hartwick!
From there Oceanside, Sag Harbor and Brodie,
now Belle Harbor - what a journey!
Through it all you were always together.
The example you set, we will treasure forever!
Making memories is what we do!
Thank you both for being you!

More On Supplements • Bariatric surgery patients

Dietary supplementation,
which I have written about before,
is about a $30 billion industry in
the U.S., with more than 90,000
products on the market. Recent
national surveys have found that
52 percent of adults reported use
of at least one product and 10 per-
cent reported use of four or more
products. Vitamins and minerals
are among the most popular sup-
plements and are taken by about
45 percent of adults to main-
tain health and prevent illness.
Despite this enthusiasm, most
studies of vitamin and mineral
supplements have not demon-
strated clear benefits for preven-
tion of diseases that are not re-
lated to nutritional deficiencies.
Indeed, some studies have found
that taking these supplements
in amounts that exceed the rec-
ommended dietary allowance
(RDA), especially high doses of
beta carotene, folic acid, vitamin
E, or selenium, may have harmful
effects including increased risk of
death, cancer, and stroke.
Most clinicians advise patients
to get vitamins and minerals from
food instead of supplements.
A healthy diet leads to positive
health outcomes. Although rou-
tine nutrient supplementation is
not recommended for the general
population, targeted supplemen-
tation may be warranted in cer-
– fat-soluble vitamins, B vi-
tamins, iron, calcium, zinc,
copper, multivitamins/mul-
timinerals
• Pernicious anemia – vitamin
B12 under the tongue or inject-
ed once a month
• Crohn's disease, other inflam-
matory bowel diseases such as
celiac disease – iron, B vitamins,
vitamin D, zinc, magnesium
• Long-term proton pump inhibi-
tors (P.P.I.) (i.e. Nexium) - use vi-
tamin B12, calcium, magnesium
• Metformin – vitamin B12
When reviewing the use of vi-
tamins and supplements with a
clinician, it is important that the
patient lists all that are taken.
Some supplements may interfere

received.
Helping a person who is
not so happy is a great ser-
vice in life. Holding space
for them and sending loving
prayers their way will help
pave the way to happiness.
Sharing your positive ener-
gy with someone who is go-
ing through rough times is
a gift. We are meant to share
and support one another, es-
with good friends and fam-
ily is also a valuable tool. In
Rockaway, Breezy, Roxbury
and Broad Channel, we are a
community that supports and
helps one another. Reach out
to a neighbor and ask for help
if you need it. Most people I
know are more than willing to
spend time with a person who
needs comfort.

Creating a Positive Attitude pecially during challenging

“You cannot have a positive
life and a negative mind.”
Joyce Meyer
What a wonderful world
we live in and yet we are sur-
rounded by such negativity
and darkness. How does one
stay positive with such nega-
tive energy and suppression?
Stress, sadness, trauma, loss
of a loved one — can really
bring a person down. It is not
so easy to put on a happy face
when, in fact, you are sad and
lonely.
There are some easy ways to
create a positive life. For one
thing, stay more present. Yes,
you have heard it many times
in this column and we will al-
ways continue to remind and
encourage you to stay in the
moment. It is a blissful mo-
ment when you are present.
Letting go of the past is some-
thing that will free your mind.
It’s ok to visit the past, but try
not to cling to it. Remember,
honor, and then move on.
There are no guaranties in
life. We have today, so live it
well and be content. My mom
always said to me, “Be con-
tent and you will always be
times.
I have a sister, Janet Fash,
who is a ball of positive ener-
gy. When she enters a room,
she brings laughter and cheer
to everyone. She was born like
this. For as long as I can re-
member, Janet has been full of
life and happy-go-lucky. She
is also someone who shares
her positive energy with those
who need it. She will make
you laugh and sometimes cry!
She has a heart of gold. My
best friend in life who knows
all my secrets.
Moving your body and
keeping active is a great way
to keep your energy posi-
tain opens on a new day. You
are invited to join the great
opening. Open your ears.
Open your heart. Open your
eyes to the sacred path you
travel every day, the path of
the hours.
Greet the hours with joyful
awareness. Greet the hours
with faithful presence. Greet
the hours with a reverential
bow. Greet the hours with a
sacred pause.
Reverence each hour as a
small stepping stone on your
pilgrimage through the day.
Receive the gift of seven sa-
cred pauses. Practice waking
up seven times a day.”

Just a quick reminder to all
of you out there that the Broad
Channel VFW Post 260 will be
hosting it's annual "Pig Roast"
this Saturday (July 14) from
2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Everyone I
speak to who intends to attend
this porcine gala has been
psyched and why shouldn't
they be? After all, the same

Pigs And Tight Spaces
on a pig roast and you've got
a show! The most often asked
question is "Will the pig have
an apple in its mouth?" It will
not.
Other queries have ranged
from how much the pig weighs,
how long it took to cook and
what parts are edible. (An-
swer to the last - almost all of
it, including the ears, tongue,
snout, and cheeks, known to
be particularly succulent.)
And here's a little tidbit only
for the readers of this column,
a little birdie told me that
Bruce Fuller will be entertain-
ing all those in attendance
with his rendition of "Don't go
bacon my heart...I couldn't if
I fried..." as the pork is being
served! You won't want to miss
that as that alone is worth the
price of admission!
So, grab all your meat-lov-
ing family members, friends,
and neighbors and head on
down to Shad Creek Road this
Saturday for a veritable senso-
ry overload of pork gone hog

wild! And for all you squeam-
ish, sentimental vegetarians
out there, be still your racing
hearts! The guys and gals at
the VFW have made sure all
the requisite rabbit food will
be available for you - corn,
salad, and watermelon, but,
c’mon…why bother? It’s $25
for adults, $10 for the young-
sters and children 10 and un-
der can sneak in free! All are
welcome. Don’t miss it! As
always, all proceeds from this
affair will go to benefit our
veterans.
A trip to the supermarket is
fraught with inconveniences
and awkward moments, but
I have long considered my-
self to be a shopping veteran,
well-versed in knowing how
to navigate the aisles in order
to make my shopping expe-
rience a bit more palatable.
That being said, I recently had
the opportunity to visit the
Key Food supermarket over in
Howard Beach last week and
it was quite the adventure. A
The Rockaway Times
trip to this supermarket is an
out-of-body consumer experi-
ence, best attacked alone and
with your brain on standby.
There was a line of cars on
Cross Bay Boulevard waiting
to turn into the driveway lead-
ing to the store's small parking
lot in the rear of the building.

point, I actually expected to
see a Disney-esque sign stat-
ing: "Waiting Time for Avail-

Alas, parking difficulties were
just a harbinger of things to
come!
Immediately upon entering

Rain Barrel Giveaway on July 28
Save the date! Another rain
barrel giveaway is coming up
at the end of the month.
Continuing in his effort to
help homeowners conserve
water, State Senator Joseph P.
Addabbo, Jr. is again partner-
ing with the NYC Department
of Environmental Protection
(DEP) and Assemblywoman
Stacey Pheffer Amato for an-
other free rain barrel giveaway
in Rockaway.
Constituents who live in
either Addabbo’s or Pheffer
Amato’s district have the op-
portunity to register to receive
a free 55-gallon rain barrel on
Saturday, July 28. These rain
barrels can attach to a home’s
gutter in order to collect and
store rainwater, which can lat-
er be used to complete house-
hold tasks.
Those who pre-register
must pick up their free rain
barrel from 10 a.m. to 12
p.m. at St. Camillus Church,
located at 99-15 Rockaway
Beach Boulevard. After 12
p.m., the remaining barrels
THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2018
will be distributed to the
public on a first-come first-
serve basis.
“By using these free rain
barrels, residents can store
excess rainwater and use it
at a later time to do chores
around the house, such as
washing the car, cleaning
the outside of the house, or
watering plants,” Addabbo,
a member of the Senate En-
vironmental Conservation
Committee, said. “The ben-
efits of this are twofold. With
a rain barrel, people can save
money on their water bills, as
well as conserving water for
the environment.”
Addabbo has had sever-
al free rain barrel giveaways
within his district this year
and has given out over 300
rain barrels.
To register to receive a rain
barrel on July 28, contact Add-
abbo’s Howard Beach Office at
718-738-1111 or visit https://
www.nysenate.gov/web-
forms/free-rain-barrel-givea-

About Autism
These past few weeks have
been tough on a multitude
of levels, and amidst all the
challenges of daily living, I
had an increasingly short cir-

was full of energy and zest —

in the house. Maybe it was
the heat, or what I interpret-
ed as a determined mode to
demand attention by doing
what most children do — au-

herself a facial with a pot full

couldn’t have her way — we

and of course well, exhaust-

of all her shenanigans, too
much to list, and I’m too tired
to relive each.
I found myself screeching
at her, then feeling guilty,
thinking it’s not her fault,
she doesn’t realize what she
is doing, she has autism. I
shared my thoughts with my
granny, who protested, “No,
she damn well know what
she’s doing! Like any child,
she wants her way, and knows
how to pull your strings!” I
pulled back a bit, then start-

Recently on a casual trip to

collapsed in the back seat be-

She then looked at me with a
concerned look, rubbed my
back, then took my hand and
beckoned for us to get out of
the car.
Why am I divulging all this?
To let folks know that despite
my daughter’s autism, she is
probably more intuitive and
sensitive than us “neurotypi-

she has calmed down a bit

families. Two of these BHFH
heroes will be present at this
year’s event— U.S. Marine
First Lieutenant James Byler
and U.S. Army Sergeant John
DiRaimo.
On October 17, 2010, U.S.
Marine First Lieutenant James
Byler of Huntington, Long
Island, an infantry platoon
leader with the Third Battal-
ion, 5th Marines, Camp Pen-
dleton, California, was in-
jured when he stepped on an
improvised explosive device
(IED) while leading his pla-
toon on a dismounted patrol
of a narrow alley in Northern
Helmand Province, one of the
deadliest provinces in Afghan-
istan. Both of Byler’s legs were
amputated above the knee,
and he lost both pinky fingers.
BHFH conducted a major ren-
ovation on Byler’s home that
meets his needs.
U.S. Army Sergeant John
DiRaimo is a 30-year veteran
that survived a Humvee crash
THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2018
and was able to rescue a fel-
low soldier from the damaged
vehicle. DiRaimo suffers from
severe Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder and has a service
dog. BHFH helped build him
a brand new home in Florida
that helps ease some of his
stress by offering comforting
features like a water fountain
and a security system.
With the money raised at
Thrilla in Camilla, FDNY
Bravest Boxing is able to help
BHFH continue its mission.
Last year, the FDNY Brav-
est Boxing was able to raise
and donate $30,000 to BHFH,
and has donated more than
$100,000 to the cause alto-
gether. This year, they hope
to surpass last year’s funds
by raising $40,000. To do so,
tickets are sold for $25 each
for general admission and
$50 for ringside seats, plus
there will be a 50/50 raf-
fle and sports memorabil-
ia up for auction, all to raise
money for the cause. Several
groups and businesses have
also made donations includ-
ing bout sponsors, Local 282,

raise more each year and
this has become a communi-
ty event. A lot of local busi-
nesses have chipped in and
have really helped make this
