Editorial by Patricia Dorfman

The terrorist attack in Boston reminds us to find common cause among all people ofgood will, who seek harmony on a daily basis, reaching out to all those of all faiths and non-believers. In our neighborhood, it is often the Muslims of Turkish Cultural Center Queens,who with deeds, seek fraternity and peace. Historic Flushing Town Hall overflowed withgood feelings and glad tidings last Thursday as over 200 guests cheered on the TCCQawards given to deserving grassroots Hurricane Sandy relief volunteers at their 10th AnnualFriendship Dinner.

TCCQ is part of a larger, worldwide group called Hizmet, which means “service,” inTurkish. Hizmet is the basis for their feeding thousands during Ramadan and othercharitable activities. Hizmet stems from the ideas of Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish Muslimscholar and religious leader. (continued on page 4)

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), a senior member of the HouseFinancial Services Committee, announced at a Financial Institu-tions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee hearing that she plans tointroduce a bill that would exempt loans from the credit unionmember business lending cap that are made after federally-declarednatural disasters, injecting much-needed funds into local communi-ties when they need it most.

We all know Superstorm Sandy caused enormous destructionthroughout the Northeast, and wildfires, hurricanes, and tornadoshave wreaked similar havoc across the country, Maloney said afterthe hearing. Federal disaster assistance that flows after eachdeclaration of a disaster is essential but not sufficient to get a regionback on its feet. I ‘ve heard from many small businesses about theirstruggle to recover from Sandy. That s why I will be introducinga bill, which will exempt credit union 1member business loans

from the normal lending cap for a period of up to five years aftera natural disaster declaration. Exempting these loans from the capwill open up a new source of credit for struggling small businessesand untie the hands of credit unions that want to provide thatassistance. Credit unions are key members of the communities theyserve and want to be there for small businesses who need assistancerecovering from natural disasters. This bill will provide businessesa source of capital to help them rebuild and recover.

Currently, under federal regulations, Federal Credit Unions areeach subject to a ceiling of 12.25% of their assets in business loansto their members. Maloney’s bill would exempt loans made in the fiveyears following declarations of federal disasters from that ceiling.

Hi Doctor Guthrie,It’s finally warming up and the sun is shining. I like to play sports outside. Very soon

it will be beach weather. How important are sunglasses?Yes, Spring is all around us. It’s very important to wear UV protecting glasses outside,

whether on the beach or on the tennis and paddleball courts. It’s not important how dark thetint is as long as there is ultraviolet protection. UV blocking glasses protect the surface ofthe eye(dry eye) as well as slow down the progression of cataracts and macular degeneration.Polycarbonate lenses are terrific protection against high-speed ball injuries. We all knowsomeone who has gotten hit in the eye with some sort of ball. Did you know thatpolycarbonate lenses protect the eyes from a ball going up to 90 miles per hour? If youhaven’t had a comprehensive eye exam recently, my staff and I are available in the Sunnysideand Madison Avenue offices. So, make sure to get out, enjoy life, eat healthy and smile.

GrowNYC is very pleased to announcethat, as the result of the ongoing advocacyby Council Member Jimmy Van Bramerand community members, GrowNYC isseeking approval from Community Board 2to open a Youthmarket Farm stand at 48thAvenue and Vernon Boulevard, in the Hunt-ers Point neighborhood of LIC Queens.

GrowNYC will be working with the LICYMCA to recruit and train teens from LIC tooperate the Youthmarket, a program ofGrowNYC. The proposed market would op-erate on Saturdays from 8am to 4pm from July13th until November 23rd and will the samehigh quality, locally grown fresh fruits andvegetables found at GrowNYC’s GreenmarketFarmers’ Markets. GrowNYC operateda Greenmarket at this location until 2010.However, because of poor sales, the marketwas regretfully forced to close. From thattime, Council Member Van Bramer has beenstrong proponent to reopen a market in LIC.The planned Youthmarket will bring the samehealthy, fresh and local produce sold byGreenmarket farmers in a manner that willensure the long-term viability of the market.

“Bringing a Greenmarket back to Hunt-ers Point/Long Island City has been a toppriority for me and I am proud to announceit’s coming back,” said Council MemberVan Bramer who also sponsored Queens’first affordable farm fresh food program atthe Queensbridge Houses. “Not only willwe be bringing in locally grown farm freshfruits and vegetables directly into Long Is-land City but we will be providing our localyouth with jobs. I look forward to expandinghealthy food options for Western Queensresidents in the future.

“Council Member Van Bramer has been

a tireless advocate of providing his constitu-ents with access to healthy food throughGrowNYC’s Greenmarkets, Healthy FoodBox, and now, through GrowNYC’sYouthmarket Farm Stands,” said Marcel VanOoyen, GrowNYC’s Executive Director.“We at GrowNYC are deeply grateful for theCouncil Member’s ongoing advocacy, sup-port and leadership on food issues in hisdistrict and throughout the city. I would alsolike to thank Members of Community Board2 for considering our application, as well asmembers of the Hunters Point Civic Asso-ciation for its support and partnership.

GrowNYC’s Youthmarket program is aninnovative way to provide New Yorkers ac-cess to fresh, healthy, locally grown producewhile training local teens how to run a smallbusiness and become future entrepreneurs.Youthmarket was launched in 2006 to sup-port regional agriculture and family farms,bring food to communities and to providemeaningful experiences for New York Cityyouth. Youthmarket purchases fresh, highquality produce from regional family farmsand resells it via their network of urban farmstands operated by neighborhood teens.Youthmarkets can accept payment in the formof cash, WIC, Health Bucks, and EBT/FoodStamps. Our ability to accept these subsidiesmakes Youthmarket prices uniquely afford-able to all-income neighborhoods across NewYork City. Each Youthmarket is run in part-nership with a Community Partner organiza-tion. Community Partners act as the employerfor the youth, assist with promotion of themarket, and serve as a link between theYouthmarket and the community, keepingthe Youthmarket informed as to how to bestserve its customers.

Real People Of SunnysideFethullah Gülen is most famous for tak-

ing an ad out in the Washington Post rightafter 9/11 which unequivocally condemnedthe terrorism including “Islam abhors suchacts of terror…He who unjustly kills one mankills the whole of humanity.” So in my opin-ion, if we do not embrace people of suchproven good will with open arms, people whohave shown they love their neighbors as them-selves, we have no hope for a safer world.

The dinner was a festive affair, withmany enthusiastic, relaxed locals in atten-dance to honor this year’s award recipients.

One of the six honorees was MonsignorJohn Brown, the pastor of Belle Harbor St.Francis de Sales for turning his church andschool into a relief center where thousandswere given hot food and desperately-neededsupplies. Pastor Brian Dowd of Sunnyside’sQueen of Angels bestowed the “Pastor forAll the People” to Brown. One of the four“Caring Visionaries” award recipients,Mickey McCreesh, brought the crowd totheir feet with an ovation for MonsignorBrown. McCreesh, a giant man in heart andstature, said in his strong Irish brogue ofBrown, “This man is the man who helpedeveryone help others.”

Monsignor Brown, whose parish includesthe family of Dylan Smith, also accepted the“Tender Titan” award on their behalf. Sandyhero Smith, with Mike McDonnell, savedsix lives with his surfboard the night of thestorm. Weeks later, Dylan was tragicallytaken in surfing accident.

Nick Murphy and McCreesh, owners ofBar 43 in Sunnyside, tirelessly labored in aself-started effort in the storm’s aftermath,which included weeks of collection anddeliveries. They joined forces with network-ing guru Ty Sullivan, the third “Caring Vi-sionary,” who quickly organized a concert,raising $22,000 in one night. Sullivan mod-estly credits Sunnysider Trevor Bowen forthe original idea for a fundraiser.

Fourth “Visionary” Sunnysider Gina Rat-tan was already putting together “SunnysideCares” at Dog & Duck, and added her localoutreach, assisted by Melissa Orlando whohelped sign up Sunnyside eateries for theconcert. (Rattan, a Broadway director, couldnot attend; She is on the team of hit “Matilda”which opened the same night.) Guests doveinto the tasty appetizers and crusty bread, thenlarge portions of fork-tender lamb or salmonwith glistening rice and salad, followed bywarm Turkish pastries, and delicious coffeewith cream. The earlier reception in the artgallery was a lively group who all seemed towant to be there and chat, exceptional becauseof the Muslim tradition of a lack of alcohol!

VIP’s were spotted: Jesse Sligh from theDA’s office, Adrian Bordoni of Woodsideon the Move, NYPD’s 108 XO Capt. HughBogle, P.O. Luis Diaz, and Queensboro NorthSgt. Timothy Evoroski and Det. Juan Toro,a former popular 108 officer. Queens Coun-try Clerk Audrey Pheffer, gave the KeynoteAddress. Senator Toby Ann Stavisky andAssemblymember Ron Kim presented cita-tions. New TCC Pres. Irfan Rendeci of CitiGroup did introductions. MC KristinJohansen moved things along briskly.

TCCQ devised “Disasters Bring us To-gether as One” theme to recognize Monsi-gnor Brown and Dylan Smith, and this au-thor was tapped to nomination local Sandyrelief volunteers.

TCCQ did their own relief effort, servingfood to 9000, and donating $50,000 to helprestore the flooded Rockaway Queens Li-brary Branch. President /CEO of Queens Li-braries Thomas Galante spoke and thankedTCCQ. Oguzhan Turan, VP of TCCQ, thankedthe larger Turkish American community forunwavering support. He said to honorees,“We are grateful for your selfless acts ofkindness and for allowing us to honor you.”

Not just dignitaries attended; L-R: ElizaJarvinen and Kate Donahue of SunnysideCommunity Services, who hosted theRUSH concert, and CUNY ProfessorHasan Yumak.

April Is Autism Awareness Month

Sunnyside Church Is Always Reformingby Rob MacKay

Pastor Neil Margetson sworein five new members of SunnysideReformed Church’s consistory re-cently. To laughter at the end of theceremony, he reminded them thatthey are his new bosses for theirtwo-year terms.

NYS Senator Joseph P. Addabbo , Jr. (D-HowardBeach) wants all New Yorkers to know that April isAutism Awareness Month and he is encouragingeveryone to learn more about autism and its effects ona growing number of children, adults, and theirfamilies. “This past weekend I partici-pated in the ribbon-cutting / grandopening of the newly renovated NewYork Families for Autistic Children(NYFAC) autistic services buildingin Howard Beach. This opening wassymbolic of the priority we need to puton funding and protecting those servicesthat assist the children and families dealingwith autism,” Addabbo stated.

In the 1970s the National Autism Soci-ety designated April as National AutismAwareness Month in order to highlightthe growing need for awareness as moreattention became focused on autism spec-trum disorder diagnoses.

“Autism is a disorder that affects anincreasing number of New Yorkers andcan be very hard to understand,” said Sena-tor Addabbo. “By dedicating the month ofApril to raising autism awareness, we increase theability of parents and caregivers to properly identifythe signs and give children and adults with autism theproper attention they deserve.”

Autism is a neural development disorder. Indi-cators of the disorder include impaired socialinteraction and communication, as well as re-stricted and repetitive behavior. According to theCenters for Disease Control, just three decadesago only 3.5 children out of every 10,000 werediagnosed with autism. However, more recent

rates indicate 1 in every 50 children are affected.As of October 2010, according to the NYS

Education Department’s Office of Special Educa-tion Programs, among school-age students be-tween the ages of 4 and 21, 22,284 have autism in

New York State while 8,886 are autistic in NewYork City. These numbers are the students whoare receiving special educational services inNew York. It is essential for those familiesdealing with children or adults who have au-tism but are not enrolled in school to learnabout the programs and services that will be

very beneficial to them.Recognizing the early signs of au-tism is vital to helping children

and their parents understandautism spectrum disor-der and how to effec-tively take action. Re-search has indicated that

the earlier a child is diag-nosed, the sooner he/she

can benefit from a specialized approach to treat-ment and education.

Senator Addabbo concluded, “As our under-standing of autism grows, I encourage everyone to

commit to support increasing awareness in order toensure that those with autism are provided withopportunities for specialized education programs lead-ing to mainstreaming in school, so that they realizetheir dreams and potential.”
