Get Stoked!ROCKSTOCK IS SATURDAY

By Katie McFadden

Grab your board, ears and beach chairs. RockStock & Bar-rels is back and celebrating its big 10-year anniversary of surf, skate, music and shopping all in one festival. The event takes place near the surfing beach at Beach 90th and starts at 10 a.m. on Sat-urday, June 18.

The much anticipated sum-mer kickoff event of RockStock & Barrels is now in its tenth year, but its roots go as far back as 20 years when some of the organ-izers, Jimmy Dowd of St. James Clothing and Walker Hornung of Into the Whip Records, tried to spearhead a smaller festival called Bloodfest, named after their skateboard shop Blood New York, back in 1996. “We didn’t really know what we were doing and it kind of got shot down to a certain extent and never came around again until Steve and Christian Stathis opened Board-

ers surf shop and we approached them and said let’s do something like Bloodfest but do it properly, and we came up with RockStock a decade ago,” Dowd said.

The timing aligned with Rock-away starting to become a bigger surf and skate destination. “We had been fighting for a surfing only beach back then and we got that and then we fought for a skate park and we got that, so it all came together and since we had all these areas to do some-thing like this, we said let’s do it and offer something free to the neighborhood. We always want-ed to do a surf and skate contest that involved music and arts and crafts and we wanted to use RockStock as the launchpad to bring that all together,” Dowd said.

RockStock started on a small scale at first. “In the beginning, we had maybe four vendors and three or four bands playing in the dirt on the street side of the

boardwalk, but after two years, the Parks Department started cosponsoring it and they let us do music right on the board-walk. It’s definitely gotten much bigger since then and now we’re at a point where it’s Parks’ larg-est event on the boardwalk each year,” Dowd said.

One of the highlights of Rock-

Stock is the music element, or-ganized by singer Walker Hor-nung. This year’s lineup takes place on one stage and starts off with Bad Sign at 10 a.m., followed by The SM Project at 11 a.m, Raise the Kicks at noon, The Poor House at 1 p.m., The Shipwrecks

I don’t know when dads turned into goof balls. But “dad” is a put-down adjective applied to clothes, humor, bodies, dancing, and noises. Yeah, noises. My son tells me I make “all these dad noises.” Bada bop bop bee dee bop bop. Hmmmmmm…. If I’m not filling the air with some weird rhythmic sounds I’m tapping a counter or desk. I’ve tried denying that I was doing any such thing but oth-ers – namely my wife—will say it’s true. They make me feel like I should be living at The Park Inn on the boardwalk.

Of course, I had to Google if I was actually insane. That’s the way it is. As soon as we feel something weird we Google the symptom to see how much time we have to live. In this

case, I just Googled Dad Nois-es and thousands of results came back. Turns out my noise making is normal. Dads make noises, that’s what we do. Some whistle, some cluck their tongues, some clear their throats like an engine turning over. Some noises are just tics but others are self-affirming. Like, yeah, I got it all going. Mmmm—hmmmm.

When they’re not making fun of your noises, people who are not dads aim for the ward-robe. Dad clothes include barbecue aprons, tube socks, and tucked in polo shirts. Ha-waiian shirts scream dad and so does a phone attached to a guy’s belt. Expect to be derid-ed should you don any of the above (or if you use the word “don.”)

Dads can’t win. If we dress surprisingly well the kids want to know, what are you trying to be cool for? Who are you trying to impress? And if we don’t make dad noises and sit there quietly someone will

ask, what’s wrong?Things sure have changed.

We’ve gone from Father Knows Best to Homer Simp-son and Family Guy.

We are easy targets these days but that doesn’t mean we don’t have ammunition. We can break out dance moves at any time to embarrass the children who insist on putting us down. If the little runts are being difficult we can yell out “I Love You” in front of their friends. Yes, that’s our weap-on of mass embarrassment: we show affection. “Behave or I’m gonna tell you I love you in front of everyone.”

That’s ok if you didn’t laugh – you’re not supposed to laugh at dad humor. Dad jokes are defined as embarrassingly bad and cringe inducing.

Dad, make me a sandwich.Poof! Abracadabra! You’re

a sandwich! (Followed by Dad’s disappointed face be-cause the kid did not get turned into a sandwich).

At a restaurant a dad joke

can come out of nowhere. A kid might say, I’ll have a que-sadilla. And then Dad asks: A whole case? Why not have one dilla and see how you feel?

Most dads have the kind of humor that would’ve gotten them beat up as kids.

Hey, Dad I’m going to get a haircut. The dad with a straight face asks, which one?

I guess dad jokes come with dad bodies, receding hair-lines, and frequent urination. It’s only a matter of time be-fore a drug company comes out with a pill to curb corni-ness.

Until then, the whole world will make fun of dads. But dads don’t want to rush a cure. We like the putdowns – that’s just the way the world and our dear families show love for dead old dads.

Here’s a groan for the road. I’m hungry. Dad: Hi Hungry, I’m Dad.

CB 14 Recap: Zoning, Parks and More TUBRIDY HOTEL GETS THUMBS UP

By Katie McFadden

The last official Community Board 14 meeting before the sum-mer hiatus on Tuesday was full of heated discussions and new infor-mation.

Some of the biggest discussions were about rezoning. About two weeks ago the Land Use & Hous-ing Committee held a meeting to discuss three zoning issues, which were again brought to the Community Board meeting on Tuesday. The first issue discussed was to rezone 108-14 Rockaway Beach Boulevard to allow for the Tubridy-owned Rockaway Beach Hotel. In order for the hotel to be built, zoning for the block need-ed to be changed from the current R5B-C1-3 to R6A-C2-5 for plans to move along for the proposed four-story boutique hotel that will offer 33 rooms, 26-car under-ground parking, an event space, pool and more. With the exception of one abstention, the Board voted

unanimously to allow for this re-zoning for the hotel to be built.

The other zoning issues includ-ed two Far Rockaway properties owned by Barbara Samuels and her sister, Francis, who own other properties within Rockaway. They were seeking to rezone an area lo-cated at Fernside Place and Seagirt Blvd (around Beach 20th) from the current R4-1 zoning to an R5 to allow for a mix of commercial and residential space, that would include a 6,000 sq-ft retail space with 13-car parking and a four-sto-ry building for 27 residential units and 29-car parking. With a major-ity of the Board voting yes, this re-zoning proposal was passed. The other proposal was to add a C1-3 Commercial Overlay to the cur-rent R4 zoned space at Beach 13th and Seagirt Bouelvard. This would allow for a 6,000 sq-foot building with parking for 16 cars to be built. Members of the board felt that not enough due diligence was done to alert neighboring properties about

this proposal. The Board called to table this proposal and address it during a special summer meeting, so the owners have more time to make neighbors aware of the pro-posal.

The Parks Committee also gave some updates. There was discus-sion about adding a bike rental concession to Beach 67th Street. Boarders, which also owns a bike rental concession, has been asked to submit a letter saying they’re okay with the addition. Fishing lo-cations were also discussed. Beach 13th and 15th have been designat-ed as fishing beaches along with any area with a red flag. Fishing is also permitted anywhere before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. For the board-walk, Beach 109th to Beach 115th is expected to be open by Saturday with the remaining section up to Beach 126th opened by early July. The Beach 94th Street performance space design was discussed and it was determined that much more money, as much as $1 million is

required to create a design that would be deemed acceptable. The Beach 32nd Street skate park was discussed and the proposed design for the area passed unanimously. There was also a request for Skans-ka to ensure that the beach is clean following boardwalk construction, as construction remnants have been left behind.

Other announcements included an update from the Department of Health on Zika virus and the steps that are being taken to eliminate the risk of mosquitoes, including spraying and urging people to clear out areas of still water where mosquitoes may lay eggs. Len Schaier of quickskies.net spoke about aircraft noise issues and urged senators to support reduc-ing the maximum noise level from 65 DNL to 55 DNL, which is a saf-er level that is implemented in a majority of foreign countries. CB14 agreed to write a letter to the sena-tors urging them to reduce aircraft noise levels.


***** So a (possibly) new bar

restaurant with an old name caused quite a stir on Facebook. A large banner appeared on the building at Beach 112th and The Boulevard seeming to announce that the Irish Circle was coming to the location that has been bad luck spot so far. The place has been Pisces, Patrick’s, La Joya, Taco King, and El Pasatiempo, to name a few. Owen Baxter, who ran The Beautiful Palm Gardens bar some years back, is behind the new venture. There’s no other connection to the place that was made famous on Beach 102nd Street which is now home to Community House.

***** Nothing like a list or contest to

get people disagreeing. In last week’s Rockaway Times, Ryan Woerner authored a column about the ten best basketball players to come from the west

end of Rockaway. Much griping was heard in bars and email. He named three of his top ten last week and continues his list this week on Page 55. Don’t yell at us – we’re only the messenger.

***** Hey bike riders, things just got

safer. Unless some unexpected delay occurs (like wind?) you can now ride your bike on the boardwalk from Beach 117th street all the way to Beach 9th now. The stretch from Beach 108 – Beach 117th is set to open this weekend so you don’t have to risk life and limb on the Boulevard.

***** So last week we had an error

in the Word Search and some puzzlers let us know. We were just testing you. From now on, if we mess up the Word Search, and you catch us, you’ll get a free Rockaway Times t-shirt.

***** Volleyball lives on. After last

week’s games were cancelled because the league was frustrated in its attempts to arrange for storage space, officials at Riis came to their senses and provided the needed room. The

Rockaway Times had contacted Gateway leadership about the impasse and things were quickly smoothed out. The Rockaway Volleyball League is no less than a vital institution and summer wouldn’t be summer without it.

***** Time flies when you’re having

fun putting out a newspaper. Next week is the 2-year anniversary of The Rockaway Times!

***** Local Republicans are making

sure voters have choices in November. Michael O’Reilly will be challenging Greg Meeks for a Congress seat; Michael Conigliaro will run for the NY State Senate and current President of The Rockaway Republicans, Alan Zwirn, will try to succeed Phil Goldfeder in the NY Assembly.

***** Boxing and bagpipes. Mark

down Friday, July 8 on your calendar as the FDNY boxing club takes on the London Metro Police Department. The fun will be outdoors and under the stars. In addition to the boxing exhibitions there will be a performance by the FDNY

Emerald Society Bagpipers, a memorabilia auction, a Cuban cigar roller, food and drink and even some fun FDNY inter-departmental grudge matches. Tickets are on sale at FDNYBoxing.com

***** Some churchgoers at St.

Francis got a surprise last Saturday after 5:30 Mass when they came out to find parking tickets on their windshields. The hefty fine for such a violation is $115! The tickets were issued by Traffic Enforcement not by the police of the 100th Precinct. Not much to do, but be forewarned.

***** A couple of notes. This week’s

paper has the return of The Beefchip, our popular columnist who’s been busy for a year. See why on Page 14 . And Dan Guarino goes live with a Beach, Music, and Art Calendar on Page 52.

***** How did we get those Dads pics

on the cover (and on Page 47)? We asked our Facebook followers to send in their dad photos. Thanks to all who’ve liked our Facebook page!

It's not too early to planyour summer party!

WHAT IF…?By Lou Pastina

Remember playing this game? Essentially it goes like this, you think about “what if something was whatever…”

I like to play this game in my mind as I cycle around Rocka-way thinking to myself several “what if” scenarios. Mind you I have not done anything to try and make these “what if” sce-narios come to fruition but it’s a fun exercise. I was back in Greenpoint this past weekend and I learned that Brian Wilson

of the Beach Boys was set to play in McCarren Park and do the en-tire Pet Sounds album. I thought, “what if the Beach Boys were to play in the park?” Forty years ago? No one would believe it possible. But these things some-times have a way of happening if you “vision” them. So here goes my Rockaway “what ifs…?”:

What if the Hammels Housing became condo buildings and you could own them, instead of just renting them. Would that make things different?

What if the city said to Arv-

erne By the Sea “great job,” why don’t you guys just keep build-ing all the way down along the waterfront as far as you can go? Oh, and by the way we, the city, will build a really nice shorefront road that goes all the way down to Far Rock. And we will build sewers along that road that actu-ally drain somewhere other than the road you drive on!

What if Hilton or Marriott fi-nally said to themselves, “what the hell have we been thinking?” and bought the Neponsit Home and turned it into a world-class hotel with all sorts of water sports and jobs for kids in the area. And we could all send those pesky relatives that like to visit during the summer to the hotel!

What if the guys who bought and renovated the Kings Theater in Brooklyn came and bought the Seaport Theater on 116th Street and did the same thing. And they smartly made the side lots park-ing for the venue. And real bands came to play there, and local bands got to open for them!

What if the government built a road at the first Crossbay Bridge out of Broad Channel

that went right across the bay to Kennedy Airport! And they allowed fishing off that bridge and bike lanes too.

What if the city finally sold the Courthouse on Beach Channel Drive to some en-trepreneur who opened up a beautiful French restaurant and boutique hotel right here in Rockaway!

What if those empty lots on Beach Channel Drive were home to parking during the summer? And a trolley was in-stalled to take people along the beach to any beach they want-ed to go and back to their cars when they wanted to leave. And residents who don’t have parking spots had year round discounted access to the site too.

What if Gateway was the re-cipient of a special grant from the federal government in hon-or of the 100-year anniversary of the National Parks and re-paired the beachfront road that everyone loved so much and extended it!

What’s your favorite Rocka-way “what if ?”

What's Going On WithBaby Boomers?

By Pat Morgan

What are we doing here? We, as in Baby Boomers -- perhaps a misnomer be-cause so many of us are now grandparents. I see a lot of my compatriots collecting their grandchildren up at the schoolyard. Why aren’t we downsizing our homes and retiring to the sunbelt? I was curious, so I needed to check out the numbers behind it. (Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a bit of a data nerd, but I’ll avoid sounding like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory and keep it as entertaining as possible.)

There are a ton of inter-esting statistics out there on Baby Boomers, who are de-fined as being born between 1946 and 1964. We make up about 26 percent of the cur-rent population and in 2015

were surpassed by Millennials (ages 18-34) as the nation’s largest living generation.

Firstly, I discovered some interesting numbers of how we “Boomers” are spend-ing (and not spending) our money.

A 2012 study by the Nation-al Center for Policy Analysis revealed that a surprising 59 percent of Baby Boom-er parents were found to be providing financial support to their adult children. That included living expenses, medical bills and paying off loans. Another study by Sal-lie Mae, “How America Pays for College,” went on to say that the lion’s share of edu-cation costs – 40 percent of the total– is paid by mom and dad. Then throw in the “Sandwich Generation” fac-tor. Pew Research reported that 15 percent of people in

their 40s and 50s were pay-ing to support a grown child AND a parent at the same time.

It’s no wonder that Baby Boomers are spending less on entertainment and eat-ing out because we may be spending more on our adult children, and in some cases our parents. From 1990 to 2010, Baby Boomer spend-ing fell in categories such as food, clothing and house-hold furnishings.

“Shop ‘til you drop” has been replaced with Boomers cutting up their credit cards. One reason the net worth of Americans rose was that peo-ple cut debt levels by near-ly $1 trillion. Much of that came from Boomers cutting back on personal debt : more than half have cut back on spending and reduced cred-it card debt, and one-third

paid off their mortgages, ac-cording to a 2011 report by Bankers Life and Casualty.

Secondly, I was amazed by the marriage statistics. Born in a generation that may have once celebrated free love, 65.6 percent of Boom-ers today are married. Only 11.7 percent have never been married, with the rest of to-day’s Baby Boomers being either divorced (17 percent), separated (3 percent) or wid-owed (2.7 percent).

Thirdly, the majority of Baby Boomers are home-owners. Owning a home was a large part of the traditional American Dream embraced by Baby Boomers, drilled into them by their parents who endured the Great De-pression and World War II. According to a study by the

A Dad's NoteTo His Son

It’s been a while since I last saw you. Over a year in a fact. The last time you saw me I wrote about the great-est hockey player of all-time bumping into a local mic-loving DJ, and the com-mon connection they had with local hero Charlie Heer-an. That Thursday, while the weekly Rockaway Times was flying off the shelves lo-

cally, and the Internet was abuzz through viral sharing of the article, I was confined to a room at North Shore LIJ with my then 3-day old son, Beefchip Jr., and his rock star mother, Mrs. Beefchip. I’ll take this opportunity to send a big shout out to my much better half. My triumphant assist in bringing life into this world is only dwarfed by your

endless love and devotion to our boy.

So for the very few wonder-ing where Beefchip went, you now can breathe sigh of relief that I was here all along, wait-ing. It wasn’t easy to leave my fan base, the dozen of you are important to me. But as I’m sure you understand, Daddy DayCare doesn’t come with a union coffee break so that I can pen a somewhat medio-cre weekly column. Happily, The Rockaway Times HR De-partment granted me a fam-ily leave sabbatical, cement-ing them as one of the top employers on the peninsula. However and rightfully so, CEO/Editor-In-Chief Boyle has taken over the HR Dept and has sent Final Notice that all good vacations come to an end and I was needed back in the press room.

In light of all of that and to-gether with the upcoming day celebrating ME, and all the wonderful things I do (Father’s Day), I think it’s only right that I share some thoughts and perhaps some advice to my

rapidly growing son. Beefchip Jr. (D), there are a

few things I want to tell you in no particular order.

1. I am extremely lucky and proud to be your father. I didn’t think it was possible to love someone or something as much as I love you. But outside of our small fami-ly, this world can be an ugly place. I am here to guide you along the way, and I promise I will do everything I can to be a great navigator.

2. You can be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do. I know what you’re thinking and No, you cannot use your iPad in a res-taurant or have Beats head-phones on while traveling in my or your mother’s car or any other thing that I deem an antisocial road block. What I mean is that you can choose whatever path or road you want. Whether you are the Captain of the Varsi-



ty Football Team or Captain of the Cheerleading Squad, I am your biggest fan, and will be front row to cheer you on. And if work takes you to a trading room, a court room, or an ice cream room, ei-ther way you will make your mother and I proud, as long as you perform your abso-lute best. Coming in first is overrated, just give it your all and know I will be at the fin-ish line.

3. Respect others, espe-cially women. Hold the door, give up your seat, and let them go first. You don’t have to rush to where you are going just make sure you’re a little bit early so you’re on time. Be as courteous as you can to others, as long as it’s not a danger to you or any-one around you. You never know what demons some-one else may be battling. If someone is angry do not take it as personal as your father has, it’s not worth it.

4. Leaders make decisions, followers act them out. Rise above, especially with crowd bullying those that may be less fortunate, and stand up for those that can’t stand up for themselves. Lead the right path among your peers and you’ll make some-one’s day without them even knowing it. You are judged not by what you have, but what you do with what you have to make this world a better place for everyone. Just know there are conse-quences to every action, and if you act out, you may not have anything left. I will not apologize for those reper-cussions in advance, as en-titlement (see Yelp.com) can be a dangerous thing that parents fail to recognize. I still love you so much pal.

5. Love unconditional-ly and fully. It’s starts with knocking on the door for your first date. Don’t you dare text or Facebook mes-sage “I’m outside.” That’s

corny ands shows a lack of respect to their parents. I do not care who it is that you love, because I know they will bring out the best in you as your mother has done for me. Do not sweat the small stuff, you will have failed relationships. Respectfully move on and take each one as a learning experience.

6. There will be times that I yell, or even scream at you. I acknowledge that I am not perfect, but a work in pro-gress. When I first found out we were having you, I thought of everything my father, Grandpa Beefchip, did for me growing up. The moves he made, the hard work and long hours he put in, and the time he spent with his family. If it wasn’t perfect, it was pretty damn close, though that could just be how he and Grandma Beefchip made it seem, like it was easy. I promise you I’ll try to live up to that stand-ard, though it most certainly isn’t easy being easy.

7. If my time with you should be cut short due to unforeseen circumstances, you are surrounded by peo-ple that love you. I can al-ready tell your progression to becoming a man will not be long. Always honor your mother, and your name. Just as I am now, my spirit is al-ways with you. I know you will make the right choices. And for the Love of God keep your pencil sharpened and your pen filled with ink, Boyle will most likely be calling on you as my replacement.

8. And number 8, the most important of all. I will always love you, D.

YMCA: Building Local PartnershipsBy Pat Morgan

The Rockaway YMCA mem-bership is now equally divid-ed across the peninsula and that’s how Executive Director Rick Hopkins likes it.

“The YMCA wants to be part of the Rockaway com-munity. We want to be seen as the bridge bringing the peninsula together,” Hopkins said, who gets excited when talking about the communi-ty converging at his location at 207 Beach 73rd Street in Arverne. “In our first year, we had forty percent member-ship from Arverne and forty percent from Far Rockaway, with the other twenty percent scattered around. Today, the numbers have evened out across the peninsula where half the membership is from the east end and the other half from the west end.”

In addition to this achieve-ment, Hopkins highlighted a significant partnership be-

tween the YMCA and PS 197, located at 825 Hicksville Road in Far Rockaway. Working with Principal Christina Vil-lavicencio, the two organiza-tions now provide 14 swim-ming classes per week at the YMCA during the school year. Each child in the 3rd through 5th grade, which is approx-imately 280 students in to-tal, will have attended eight classes.

“Given the recent teen drowning and general aware-ness of water safety in the Rockaways this time of year and further exacerbated by the fact that many of our community youth do not know how to swim, the Rock-away Y recently entered into a partnership with PS 197 to provide swim instruction to students at the school,” Hop-kins said. “We began with 2nd graders last year, and have expanded to 3rd through 5th graders this year. We want everyone to know what the Y

truly is – in this case a part-nership to save lives.”

Besides the swimming in-struction, PS 197 and the Rockaway YMCA have also engaged in an Afterschool Program that provides stimu-lating activity as well as a Sum-mer Camp, both consisting of 150 children. In addition to this existing relationship, the YMCA has established a new one, this time partnering with the Village Academy in Far Rockaway for an Afterschool Program and Summer Camp.

The YMCA’s task is to invest in the community and stress-es 80 percent local employ-ment at each of its locations. “We are one of the largest employers in Rockaway with between 165 and 200 employ-ees, depending on the season. That is reflected in our own staffing of local people. We even made sure that our larg-est contractor’s work force (cleaning services) employed 80 percent of its staff from Rockaway.” When Hopkins, a 30-year YMCA employee, re-located from Washington D.C. he wanted to be invested in the local community as well. He lives only a few blocks from the YMCA’s location. "I love living in the Rockaways. In some ways, it reminds me of the small North Carolina town I grew up in," Hopkins said of life on the peninsu-la. “Our continuing goals for the community are economic development and communi-ty partnership.” Rick would like to see these partnerships

branch out to other local or-ganizations.

Since there has never been a YMCA in the Rockaway area before, people are sometimes confused on what exactly “The Y” is and what it has to offer. It is not a government agency, but a private non-profit organization. “We have other programs that people don’t associate with the Y. For example, we just started a program called Silver Sneak-ers where one’s health pro-vider pays for the instances when members participate in the program. We have free offerings like Livestrong, a 12-week program designed to empower cancer survivors, plus a Diabetes Prevention Program. We are also starting registration for our Summer Day Camp, which takes place in a full-sized, clean and safe air-conditioned gym.”

Hopkins hopes that the current and future invest-ments in the Rockaway community will continue to fulfill the Y’s mission of promoting positive values through programs that build spirit, mind, and body, wel-coming all people.

For any local organizations wanting to learn more about the YMCA’s community part-nerships, please contact Rick Hopkins via email: [email protected] For more information on the Rockaway YMCA and its programs, vis-it their website: ymcanyc.org/rockaway

Dangerous Indifference

Dear Editor:It has been almost four years

since the storm of the century devastated the Rockaway penin-sula. The words “four years” are important because that is how long heavy dead tree limbs have been hanging precariously over the sidewalks on Beach 136th Street without any agency mov-ing a finger to remedy the prob-lem.

I have contacted every Rocka-way politician, 311, and the Parks Department numerous times. NOTHING! Phil Goldfeder’s of-fice acknowledged my request

and said they were working on it. I was told they won’t take the branches down but will “eventu-ally” take the whole tree, stump and replant a new one but these things take time. We don’t need new trees we need the dead branches removed from the live trees. I am also told I will be ar-rested if I do it myself. I am quite sure that if these potential killers were hanging over the heads of the politicians’ children on their way to school, they would have been gone the next day.

My paper trail to remedy this is, sadly, quite long. I have be-come a blatant, annoying nag about it. It will be the kind of tragedy where people will say, “Gee, they knew about it and now a child is dead.” But still- NOTHING.

When is someone going to fix this? WHEN?

Gary Gugliada

Thanks, DocDear Editor:I just wanted to say thank you

to Dr. Peter Galvin for so many different and valuable topics in

the health field. This kind of in-formation and on a weekly ba-sis is such a very big help to so many people who suffer from so many different health prob-lems. Dr. Galvin this is a great service and I will be looking forward to your next article.

Danny Rucsillo

Don’t Generalize

Dear Editor:I am writing in response to a

recent letter titled “Moms Owed Plenty.” (5-26) I am a mother of two myself and appreciate “Anonymous” sentiments.

I was born in Ireland, I have a father who still lives in Ireland and I am married to an Irish man. I take offense to the line “though they are cute, hand-some, charming beyond belief, there is in their nature a brut-ish violence that could erupt at any time.” Not ONCE has my fa-ther or my husband raised their hands to either me, my siblings or my children. The writer and his mother have been through a very tough time but please

do not generalize. Nobody is perfect no matter were you are from either, Ireland, England, Germany, Italy, Spain etc.

Paula McCaughey

Giving HurtsDear Editor:People need to stop supporting

panhandlers in the area. Mer-chants on Beach 116th street and nearby are trying their hardest to make the area attractive for shop-pers. Giving money to panhan-dlers only encourages them to keep coming back. That creates a negative atmosphere and is un-fair to hardworking shop owners. There are many ways to donate to charity. Charity shouldn’t hurt people but charity to pan-handlers hurts local businesses owned by real people.

KNOW WHAT TO DO

A Father’s Day Note From A Son

By Sean Boyle

Father’s Day. It comes once a year like every other holiday and is usually spent the same

way every year by most kids. You get your dad what he want-ed which is usually nothing or promise to uphold the request of, “just please don’t fight with your

Mother and sibling(s).” I myself usually stick to getting nothing since, let’s be honest, not fighting with a sibling over the TV, who didn’t flush, and who used who’s bike without asking is pretty darn hard.

Humor aside, wondering what I could possibly get my Dad for any holiday occasion whether it’s Christmas, Father’s Day, or his birthday has always been a chal-lenge. You’re probably thinking how hard could it be? Just do the standard cop out of getting the old man some socks or don’t talk when ESPN is on. Reducing my thanks to a pair of socks that will be lost in the wash seems a tad cheap. Especially given the fact my dad somehow managed to take care of the two pound premature baby with plethora of complications that I was. All whilst making sure life at home was normal for his other son, a nine year old. Of course, he likes to show off so he juggled both challenges while being on crutches at the time.

He hasn’t had a break since

either. Various medical emer-gencies and issues as a result of my birth conditions that affect me today still keep him on his toes. Add to the fact that my fa-vorite pastimes include getting in trouble with teachers, driv-ing my mom to her last grain of sanity, and forgetting to turn off the lights and take out the gar-bage. I’ve without a doubt given the poor guy a lot of chest pains throughout the years.

I’m not sure if I can ever give you anything close to what you’ve given me, Dad. But at the very least you deserve some recogni-tion. Whether it was supporting whatever weird interest I’ve had or driving me to the bus stop in the morning, you’re always there. But most of all you taught me to make sure I don’t grow up to be scared ever in life. And that no matter how many times or how hard I fall as long as I get up and brush myself off, you and every-one that matters, will be proud.

Here’s to you, Dad. I can’t thank you enough. But I can put out the garbage tonight.

Sean Boyle with his dad, Kevin Boyle.

QUALITY KITCHENS SINCE 1960

OA And Joint PainOsteoarthritis (OA) is one of the

most common causes of chron-ic pain and reduced activity in middle aged and elderly people. While it is estimated to affect from 20 to 30 million people, up to 85 percent of those 65 and older have x-ray findings consistent with it. Traditionally it has been thought that OA is caused by mechanical wear and tear of the joints how-ever there is mounting evidence that inflammation is a significant factor as well, especially in young-er people. There is also a genetic factor, especially among women as it is estimated that about 60 percent of women with OA got it from their family tree. The most commonly affected joints are the

knees, hips and fingers.Until the early 20th century OA

was often confused with rheu-matoid arthritis. OA involves the cartilage in joints. Cartilage is a firm but slippery substance that allows the joint to move freely and prevents bone on bone wear. Over time the cartilage surface devel-ops fissures and tiny cracks, which eventually evolve into erosive de-struction in advanced cases. Once the joint reaches the stage of bone on bone contact with little to no remaining cartilage, the inflam-matory process skyrockets caus-ing pain, swelling, joint deformity and restriction of movement, of-ten resulting in disability and joint replacement. According to the

By Peter Galvin, MD

Ask theDOC

CDC, OA accounts for $3 to $13 billion a year in health care costs with knee and hip replacements costing $28.5 billion and $13.7 bil-lion per year, respectively.

Diagnosing OA is relatively simple, usually requiring a phys-ical examination, x-rays and a blood test to rule out other causes of arthritis. Unfortunately there is no cure for OA. Initial treatment recommendations are usually lifestyle modifications like aer-obic exercises, aquatic exercises and weight loss. Often success-ful initiation of these regimens can slow the progression of the disease. Physical therapy is often very helpful as well and may also slow disease progression. Medi-cations, both OTCs and prescrip-tion medications, can be used to alleviate symptoms but will nei-ther slow disease progression nor cure it. Medication recommen-dations usually start with Tylenol and/or Advil or Aleve. A popular OTC remedy is the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. While some people claim relief from this combination, to date there has been no data doc-umenting a benefit. Prescription medications include non-ste-

roidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen and naproxen, COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex and Mobic and topicals like Voltaren gel and Capsaicin cream (derived from chili pep-pers). More potent but non-nar-cotic pain relievers like Tramadol may help. Narcotics are often a last resort for severe cases due to the high incidence of addiction and the potential for abuse. Joint injec-tion with cortisone may help tem-porarily but the number of injec-tions per joint is limited and over time injections become less effec-tive. In addition viscosupplement (i.e. Synvisc, Orthovisc) injections may help temporarily. Often the end point is joint replacement.

If you are having joint pain first see your doctor who can deter-mine the diagnosis and help you develop a treatment program. If you are overweight, weight loss is the single most important thing you can do to help yourself. Also, especially if you are older, do not start an exercise program without first discussing it with your doctor.

at 2 p.m., Walker and the Brother-hood of the Grape at 3 p.m., Tum-bleweed Highway at 4 p.m. and Ethoscope closes out the festival starting at 5 p.m. However the fun continues at the Playland (97-20 Rockaway Beach Boulevard) af-ter party with Nimbus Knight at 7 p.m., The Skells at 8 p.m. and Exit Verona at 9 p.m.

Hornung has the tough job of selecting the music each year. His one requirement is that the bands have original material as opposed to covers. “We give a lot of local bands new exposure. We wanted to give bands that play original material a venue to play in front of people. When you play in bars, you usually have to play cover material to bring people into the bar, but hopefully this original music will be stuff that people will be listening to in 10 years,” Hornung said.

Aside from requiring original music, most of the acts are chosen on a first-come, first-served basis. Some popular local bands like In-daculture and RatTrap Bumpkin

couldn’t make it this year due to a schedule conflict as many of the members participate in the Co-ney Island Mermaid Parade, also this Saturday, with the Rockaway Mermaid Brigade. A few bands with female leads were also given the option of performing during a special Women of Rockaway concert on June 25, which will be filmed at the RAA as part of the Queens Public Television show, “Just Jams,” hosted by Hornung.

This year’s RockStock music will have a bit of everything from ska to country to alternative rock, reggae, rock and roll and more. “We run the gamut every year,” Hornung says about the diverse sound. The bands are mostly local or no strangers to Rockaway, but every year, Hor-nung selects one out-of-town act to join the stage. This year’s guest is Tumbleweed Highway, a heavy country band from up-state NY that Hornung calls “a really incredible band like the Allman Brothers with a country twist.” This year, Hornung will also be debuting his brand new album, “Dive Deep Down” with The Brotherhood of the Grape.

The other big elements of RockStock are the surf and skate contests. The surf contest, run in conjunction with the Rocka-way Beach Surfers Association, is expected to start registration at 8 a.m. with the contest starting around 8:30 a.m. or 9 a.m., but it will all depend on the waves, ac-cording to Dowd. There is a $15 registration fee, which will sup-port the RBSA (see page 51 for more). MTA Bridges and Tunnels is also sponsoring the contest with a $2,000 prize. “That mon-ey will be waves permitting. If the waves are big enough for a short board contest, we’ll be doing that Saturday, but if not, we’ll have a contest for that prize in October when the waves are really good. If the waves are only small enough for long boards, we’ll have gift certificates and other prizes Sat-urday,” Dowd said. Dowd expects the skate contest to take place be-tween 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and there will be contests for the best run in the mini bowl and best tricks. Gifts and cash prizes will be available for the winners.

Bring your wallet, because there will be plenty of shopping to

do in the shopping village. There will also be some new elements to this year’s festival. Sponsor Red Bull is bringing its transformer truck that turns into a DJ booth, which will be near the skate park. There will also be a Queens Li-brary book bus where people will be able to take out books and sign up for library cards. It will be set up with a lounge area for people to relax. CROM Physical Culture is also setting up an obstacle course for kids and adults to try out.

The event is free to the public, but things such as sponsorships and vendor fees allow the organ-izers to give some money back to the community and help the skate park and support surfing programs for the underprivi-leged.

As we go to press, the weath-er looks perfect for RockStock. “Come on out on Saturday. It’s free. There’s a lot to do, the mu-sic is always good, it’s a good way to kick off summer and I believe it has become a dia-mond in the Rockaways,” Hor-nung said.

GET STOKED! Continued from Page 3


National Association of Re-altors, nearly 80 percent of Baby Boomers own their own homes and one out of four owns more than one proper-ty. But, their impact on real estate has a long-term effect. The Demand Institute pre-dicts that Boomers will still account for nearly $1 out of every $4 spent, i.e. $1.9 tril-lion on new home purchases and $500 billion on rent.

And about those homes, AARP reports that 90 percent of older adults nationwide want to remain living in them for as long as possible. Census Bureau data indicates that only 1.6 percent of retirees from the Baby Boom age bracket moved across states lines in 2010. As-tonishingly, Florida claims only about half the share of out-of-state retirees as it did a generation ago. I guess we can’t call Florida “God’s Wait-ing Room” any longer!

So why would aging Boom-ers want to stay in Rockaway,

let alone New York City? The cost of living in New York is 67 percent higher than the national average. The cost of housing in New York is 133 percent higher.

Our friends at AARP report that Boomers want to grow old in the home where they raised their children. Dur-ing a lifetime, people devel-op connections to a place and form relationships with neighbors, doctors, hair-dressers and shopkeepers. They become intimately fa-miliar with the route to the stores or place of worship, the rhythm of the summer beach season, the best plac-es to get a coveted burger and a personalized greeting from a local business. These associations, of value to both the individual and the com-munity, cannot be quickly or easily replicated when mov-ing elsewhere. These con-nections can also play a piv-otal role in successful aging. It is worth the price.

Fourthly is the interaction of Baby Boomers with their

grandchildren. Most Boomers enjoyed the

luxury of stay-at-home moms, which is a rarity in this day and age. Since economic con-ditions have changed since then, both parents are now re-quired to work in order to sur-vive in today’s middle-class. According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor, 70 percent of women with children under 18 years of age participate in the labor force. In comparison, that number was only 44 per-cent in 1975. With both par-ents working, help is needed to fill the gaps for things like school drop-off/pick-up du-ties, driving to sports practice, etc. Enter the resident Boom-er grandparents to chip in as much as they can.

A recent segment on CBS Sunday morning featuring Leslie Stahl, declared that one million Boomers are be-coming grandparents every year. We want to tighten the bond with our grandchildren but with a different, more re-laxed timeframe than we did with our own children. It is

a two-way street where both the grandparents and the grandchildren benefit.

Finally, is how Boomers view retirement, which is much different than the way our parents did. Recently retired Boomers have created a new phenomenon called “consult-eering.” Per a recent article in the NY Times, it is a balanced fusion of consulting, volun-teering and leisure time, since traditional retirement is no longer satisfying. This staves off the “retirement blues,” al-lows personal contribution to the community, as well as time for relaxation.

Perhaps all of this energy, activity and creativity is an attempt for Boomers to stay “Forever Young,” putting their own stamp on how they want to define themselves as a generation.

Please feel free to use this information for an engaging conversation at your next beach party or barbeque. I’m sure at least one out of four people there will be a Boomer.

The Importance of Proper Estate AdministrationBy Alexander S. Bader, Esq.

There is no event more diffi-cult in life than the loss of a loved one. Beyond the most important issues resulting from such a loss: the grieving, healing and hon-oring of the deceased, there are most often many practical steps to be completed to properly deal with all of the assets left by the decedent. Should you find yourself the named executor in your loved one’s last will and testament, or in the event your close relative left no will, affirm-ative steps must be taken to ad-dress the suitable disposition of the assets, and/or debts, left by your loved one. Seeking coun-sel from a law firm experienced with such estate administration, to be certain all relevant laws are complied with, is a step all who find themselves in this cir-cumstance should consider for the following reasons:

• Petitioning the court: Most often upon an individual’s passing, a proceeding must be

initiated with the local Surro-gate’s Court to appoint an Ex-ecutor or Administrator of the estate. Commonly this process is known as “Probate” (without a will it would more properly be referred to as an “Administra-tion”). An experienced attorney will be able to advise you on the type of proceeding or proceed-ings required (or if one is need-ed at all), the necessary docu-ments that must be executed, and the individuals that must be contacted to comply with rel-evant law.

• Dealing with difficult family circumstances: If there are dis-agreements among closely re-lated family members, this will make matters even more com-plicated during such a trying time. Experienced counsel can help explain what your rights are and advise how to best deal with such contentious circum-stances.

• Dealing with financial in-stitutions: Every financial in-stitution has their own unique requirements for transferring

assets and most often the re-quirements are more onerous when dealing with a decedent’s assets.

• All tax returns, including fi-nal personal, fiduciary and es-tate returns, when applicable, must be filed properly and in a timely fashion: Should you be appointed by the court Executor or Administrator of an estate, it will be your responsibility to file any required tax returns.

• Dealing with Debts: If your loved one passed away leav-ing any creditors, the creditors must not be ignored or else there could be serious consequences. An experienced attorney can ad-vise as to what the estate’s rights are in relation to each creditor and discuss priority of creditors.

• Dealing with Beneficiaries: Much like creditors, beneficiar-ies named in a decedent’s will must be addressed in a particu-lar manner under the law. Ex-perienced counsel will assist an Executor or Administrator in this task to help protect against any beneficiary later attempting

to assert that the matter was not handled correctly.

• Accounting to the court: Every matter that requires the petitioning of the court also re-quires some form of accounting to the court for the items that the Executor or Administrator col-lected in such a capacity.

• An Executor or Administrator may risk personal liability if the matter is not handled properly. The court holds an Executor/Administrator to a high fiduciary standard and, likewise, will hold the fiduciary responsible in cer-tain circumstances if the stand-ard is not met.

Bishop Kearney’s Valedictorian

Bishop Kearney’s Class of 2016 Valedictorian is Johanna Sullivan, a gifted and dedicated student who has made the most of every opportunity in high school. Her outstanding work ethic has en-abled her to complete her stud-ies with enthusiasm and suc-cess having participated in the honors program since freshmen year. Johanna loves learning and that is evident in her willingness

to share her gifts with her class-mates when they need assistance.

Johanna has not only been an overwhelming success academ-ically but socially as well. Her many and varied activities show her willingness to try new things, and her exceptional time man-agement skills. From leading the swim team to a victory in the 2016 championship as Caption to leading the student council as School Vice President, Johanna has made a lasting impression on her school community. She volunteers at almost every school event and her ready smile and knowledge make her the student everyone wants to meet. Her leadership ability is evident every day and she performs her duties with an open mind and heart and a caring manner that has earned the respect of her peers as well as the faculty.

Bishop Kearney wishes Johan-na luck at the Masters Level PA program at Quinnipiac Universi-ty. This prestigious program has an acceptance rate of 6%. Con-gratulations!

St. Edmund Prep HS Rich in Academics, Programs, Sports and Culture

Saint Edmund Preparatory High School, an International Baccalaureate World School, is the only Catholic School in Brooklyn and Queens that has the elite IB Programme. The superior program encourag-es the development of skills to live and work with others globally. Students who have been awarded the IB Diplo-ma have earned as many as 36 college credits and the school currently has 32 Full IB Di-ploma candidates. The Prep has applied to be a candi-date school for the IB Middle Years Programme which will give students a unique op-portunity to begin their col-lege preparation at a younger age.

St. Edmund Preparatory offers a rigorous curriculum designed to meet the needs of all our students. Advanced Placement Courses and, through our partnership with

St. John’s University, college level courses, STEM/STEAM, Robotics, a Fine Arts curric-ulum that includes dance and band, and the offering of Mandarin as a foreign lan-guage are examples of the broad and challenging aca-demics.

The Emmaus and Cleopas Retreat Programs give stu-dents an opportunity to ex-plore their relationship with God. Students embrace the call to service as they serve the homeless in Philadelphia, cook and serve a Thanksgiv-ing meal to those less fortu-nate in NY, donate to award winning school blood drives, and participate in in a varie-ty of collections throughout the year. This year students participated in the Hunger Awareness Challenge which is a school-wide project that brings awareness to poverty and hunger in our communi-ty and globally.

In addition to a complete varsity athletic program,

Girls Lacrosse was added this year and had a full squad. Crew, the school’s competi-tive rowing team, doubled in size this year. The school of-fers over 50 clubs and activ-ities including art, technolo-gy, STEM robotics, the Euro Challenge, the Investment Team, dramatic/musical per-formances, Literary Maga-zine and Yearbook.

School programs continue to grow at the Prep allowing students to experience life outside the classroom and to foster new friendships. The SEP Stringed Ensemble was debuted this year during concerts that also showcased the school’s Big Band, Sym-phonic Orchestra and the Latin Ensemble. Theatre had its largest cast in school his-tory and performed “Pippin” to sold-out performances. The Harvard Model Congress Team traveled to Washington, DC and received recognition in a nationwide competition. An extraordinary number of

students participated in the International Exchange Pro-gram and the Travel Study Program which led students on an adventure to Australia, England, Italy and Spain.

This summer renovations will take place to improve the women’s restroom, men’s re-stroom, and to create a faculty facility on the basement lev-el. The façade of the build-ing will undergo a facelift that will include refurbish-ing the landmark cross with LED lighting. The renovation of a state-of-the-art Student Technology Center and the addition of a collegiate style seminar /classroom will help facilitate today’s learning style.

Xaverian Welcomes Class of 2020On March 19th, Xaverian wel-

comed the members of the his-toric, co-ed class of 2020 as they gathered for the first time as a group on their Orientation Day.

The building was abuzz with excitement as approximately 325 students, over 120 of whom are young women, donned their Class of 2020 t-shirts to pose for a class photo, signed up for clubs and sports teams, and broke out into small groups for ice-break-ers. Parents assembled in the auditorium to hear from Presi-dent Robert Alesi ’78 about the progress of Xaverian’s strategic plan for the future, including facility enhancements currently underway with construction on Phase One of our Master Facil-ity Plan, which is scheduled for completion this fall. Included in our Phase One construction are the following:

• The transformation of our Technology Center into the Whitcome Genesis Center, which will provide our Genesis middle school program with a dedicated space complete with

nine classrooms, office spaces, a Faculty Project Room, and a large Commons Area.

• The relocation of our Gen-esis Middle School to allow for nine prime classrooms to now be available for our High School program. Our High School class-rooms will continue to be up-graded as we replace outdated Smartboard technology with 70” LED HDTV screens and Apple TVs, which provide even greater interactive capabilities for stu-dents and teachers.

• The continued infrastructure upgrades to include the replace-ment of our existing boilers with two new duel fuel burners and boilers which will be fueled pri-marily by natural gas, once our conversion to gas is complete, and will be equipped with a backup oil fuel system capabili-ty. Additionally, a new modular dedicated hot water system has also been installed.

• The complete renovation of 14 bathrooms throughout the building.

• The complete renovation of our existing Locker Rooms to create both a Boys and a Girls Locker Room.

• Installation of a new and up-graded building-wide fire alarm and safety system.

• Creation of temporary music rehearsal space, art classrooms, and a meeting/student com-mons space on our third floor.

• Creation of additional new STEM laboratories for Engineer-ing and Biomedical Sciences.

Mark Spelman ’92, Director of Admissions, commented on the incoming Class of 2020, saying, “I think the thing that I have been most gratified by is the absolute excitement from the young men and young women who are mak-ing history by joining this class. I haven’t sensed any trepidation or hesitation from these students throughout the application and registration process. This is a group of truly talented trail-blazers who will serve as a solid foundation for the progression of co-education here at 7100 Shore Road.”

FontbonneTHE SKY’S THE LIMIT

Fontbonne Hall Academy is a member of the National Coali-tion of Girls’ Schools (NCGS), the leading advocate for girls’ schools, connecting and col-laborating globally with indi-viduals, schools, and organi-zations dedicated to educating and supporting girls. NCGS and Fontbonne believe that girls’ schools play an important part in helping them develop their own voices and use them proudly.

This year, Fontbonne par-ticipated in the Girls’ School Advantage information ses-sion sponsored by NCGS in New York City. The purpose of the session was to inform prospective families about the unique environment of all-girls schools. Fontbonne joined oth-er prestigious New York schools including Brearley School, Chapin School, Convent of the Sacred Heart, Hewitt School, Spence School, Marymount

School, and Nightingale-Bam-ford School. A Fontbonne jun-ior spoke on the student panel.

Fontbonne has always be-lieved that for girls, the sky’s the limit. This year, students con-tinued to excel, especially in science and business.

In May, Fontbonne held its Second Annual Science Re-search Symposium. Ten jun-iors and twelve sophomores who are part of the Science Re-search Program presented their projects to parents, students, faculty and guests. During the course of the three-year pro-gram, students investigate particular areas of study and formulate specific research objectives under the advise-ment of mentoring scientists. Their goal is to present their data and findings by the fall of their senior year. Topics at this year’s symposium included The Impact of Traumatic Expe-riences and an Irregular Onset

of Puberty on Eating Disorder Risk in Females; The Neurosci-ence of Empathy; and Social Psychology, People Preferenc-es and Prosocial Behavior.

The Science Research Pro-gram is a unique opportuni-ty for students. “It is a true STEM program because it is a project-based learning ex-perience that challenges a high school student to design a research objective and to produce an original finding after dedicating herself to it for three years, “ says Font-bonne Principal Mary Ann Spicijaric. Students learn science and math, use tech-nology, and learn the correct way to collect data and ana-lyze it to solve the questions they asked at the beginning of their investigations. “It is one of the most challenging pro-grams that a high school can offer and also one that gives students abilities beyond those

of many college students,” adds Ms. Spicijaric.

In April, students from the In-troduction to Business course participated in the Fordham Interscholastic Business Chal-lenge. At the annual all-day event, students delivered orig-inal ideas and presentations in three categories: Business Ethics, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing. Each of Fontbonne’s three student groups made it to the finals, and they were distin-guished with honors and cash prizes.

All the students who partic-ipated in the Business Chal-lenge are currently enrolled in the first year of Fontbonne’s Entrepreneurship Program with St. Francis College. The program includes Introduc-tion to Business, Introduction to Entrepreneurship and a summer internship. Each class earns three credits from St. Francis College.

By Artie Wallace

One of the many uses for old wood doors is mak-ing shelves. For most door shelves you will need a wood door with panels. I find doors with long horizontal panels work best. For more of an antique look, leave all the old hardware on the door and keep the worn/dis-tressed look.

1- Step one is the crucial part. Using a jigsaw or small (3 ½ inch) circular saw care-fully cut the panels out mak-ing sure not to cut into the framing of the door. These panels will become your shelves.

2- Keeping the length, cut the depth (the smaller side) of the panels. Keeping the

first shelf the full depth for the bottom shelf, cut each additional shelf 1 ½ shorter on the depth than the shelf below it working your way up.

3- Cut 1”x 2”s, 2 inches shorter than the shelves’ length. Attach the 1”x2”s to the backside of your door centered on the opening where your shelves will be mounted using 1 ¼” screws.

4- Attach your shelves to the door starting with the deepest on the bottom work-ing your way up to the small-est on top.

5- Though it is not shown in the photo, I recommend adding rear supports for your shelves. You can do this by adding an angle bracket from the center of each shelf

to the wall. Also be sure to anchor the top of your shelf set up to the wall.

6- If you would like to make your shelf free stand-ing (does not require attach-ment to the wall), you will need to first stand it against the wall to get a true height . Cut 3 1”x2”s the height from the top of the shelf to the floor (against the wall). At-tach one at either end on the rear of your shelf and one in the center. Attach all three of your supports to each shelf.

7- Add a finishing touch to your shelf by coating it with Minwax Wipe-On Poly Clear Coat.

The Lesson of the Splinter

By Paulette Mancuso

Did you ever get a splinter? How could one tiny sliver of wood cause so much pain un-der the skin? You know you can’t leave it in there because it could cause an infection, yet how do you get it out? And when you try to it hurts. You at-tempt the extraction with twee-zers and maybe a pin and you

just can’t reach it. What to do?The lesson is twofold: pa-

tience is the first part. It’s in there and you cannot get it and you know it has to come out and you keep trying and trying. Stop for a moment, do some-thing else and then go back to it. Try again. Again, you can-not get at it. Stop, do some-thing else and then go back. Then, voila! You try again and you are able to pluck it. During

the process, it looks like your skin is being cut open, but once it is out and you put some alco-hol to clean it and some perox-ide, there is only a trace. And eventually no trace at all.

Patience. When a problem arises that we know we have to deal with or if there is some-thing in our lives that we want to change, have patience. Be-lieving in the success of get-ting past it promotes the suc-cess. You know you have to get that splinter out no matter how. Coming back to it, try-ing different methods until the one works is the same as ap-proaching a problem in differ-ent ways, having patience and believing that it will happen. We will remove that splinter; we will get past this problem through patience and under-standing.

The second part of the two-fold lesson: do not give up. When we have a small problem that we know in our minds and hearts if we don’t deal with it, it will become like the splinter if it stays under the skin – a big problem. Or that present thing

we want to change will never happen unless we address it and do not give up. Just like the splinter.

While we really cannot ig-nore the splinter, we can ig-nore issues by keeping busy and not taking the time to think. As time passes and every time the issue arises, we can make a 90-degree turn and ignore it, or make a kind of commitment to come back to it at a time in the near future when there is some down time to think about it. To begin to address it. Maybe talking it out with someone. Trying dif-ferent solutions. Keep going at it because otherwise it will fester, just like the splinter wound, and the small problem will become an unsurmounta-ble one. And if it is something that you just want to change – not really a problem – the same applies. Make time to think, have patience, and keep at it.

May you be happy. May you be free. May you be grateful. May you let go of things that do not serve you. May you have inner peace.

Rolled Stuffed Salmon

By Sharon Feldman

Serves: 62-1/4 pounds salmon fillet,

preferably wild, skin removed3 tablespoons unsalted butter2 large leeks, white and pale-

green parts only, chopped and washed well (3-1/4 cups)

1 bunch Swiss chard, tough stems trimmed, leaves chopped (6 cups)

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

½ cup plain Greek yogurt2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice1 tablespoon whole-grain mus-

tard1 tablespoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons minced garlic2 teaspoons low-sodium soy

sauce¼ cup dill sprigs, plus 6 more

for topsExtra-virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add leeks; cook stir-ring, until golden, about 4 min-utes. Add chard; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing until wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

In a small bowl, whisk togeth-er yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and soy sauce.

Butterfly salmon by cutting horizontally through middle along one side, leaving other side intact. Open flat, like a book. Flip salmon, skin side up; season with salt and pepper. Spread top with ¼ cup yogurt mixture. Top with dill sprigs, then chard mixture.

With long side facing you, roll up salmon into a tight log. Secure with 6 pieces of kitchen twine, starting about 1-1/4 inches from end and spacing evenly. Cut salmon into 6 equal pieces, slic-ing between the twine. Tuck a dill sprig under twine on each roll.

Place rolls in a baking dish and drizzle with pol, rubbing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is opaque on outside but still pink inside, about 15 minutes. Serve with remain-ing yogurt mixture alongside.

Rockstock & Barrels Surf

Contest UpdateThe surf contest is a GO for this

Saturday. The forecast looked grim for most of the week but it looks as though there will be an uptick in some contestable waves in the beginning part of the day, with the tide dropping towards midday and then the af-ternoon eddy of onshore winds, all this should add a little size to keep those boards moving. The contest will be held at the main jetty at Beach 90th Street and sign ups at 8 am on the beach.

To make the day more fun and fluid for the contest we’re doing away with numerous quarters, semis and finals. The Rockaway Beach Surfer’s Association con-test will be holding a new con-test format for this great event. Each division will be compet-ing in a one hour EXPRESSION

SESSION and the BEST WAVE WINS!

Although each competitor will be squared up against some oth-ers, it’s really about you and the waves to get that one great ride. Judges will score according-ly and the surfer with that one great ride and highest points will take it for that division.

The Divisions will be Men’s, Women’s, Boys 16 & Under (age as of 7/1/16) and Girls 16 & Un-der (age as of 7/1/16). Entry fee is $15. There will also be the Best Wipeout award in each of the divisions sponsored by the Gotham Surf Club. By the way, we will not be limiting the surf craft you ride, it’s a free-for-all but you must have a jersey to el-igible for the prizes and to take out the top spot.

It’s going to be a phenome-nal day with fantastic weather forecasted, great local people milling about, tents with awe-some local goods, skate comp, surf comp and ridiculously tal-ented bands. So get down, get involved and sign up for the surf & skate comps and bring lots of coin to buy the local goods on display on the board-walk. Yay!

Jamaica Bay Softball: Week 2 In The BooksBy The Commissioner

Mother Nature kept the rain away this week but still had an effect on the games as it was a windy one to say the least. Balls were flying all over the place and making it hard to judge where it was going to land. With balls go-ing all over the field, teams were scoring runs left and right as every game but one was in double dig-its. One thing we ask going forward is that all teams please make sure dugouts are clean after each game. Other than that it was a good week as we had two teams make their JBSL debut.

The Knight of Columbus 2672 were one of those teams making their debut and made a statement in their opening series with the Ori-oles. KoC won game one, 15-7, and then by the mercy rule winning 17-5 in game two. Things are not looking good for the O’s as they dropped their 3rd and 4th straight game to open up this young season.

One of the only teams who didn’t put up any runs across the plate this week was the No-Shows. They were only able to plate one run in

two games as the Mudsharks played vintage Mudshark ball. The Sharks capitalized on all of the mistakes that the No-Shows made and coast-ed to two easy wins, 12-0 and 12-1. No-Shows will need their bats to show up with them or else they are in for a long season.

Another team making their de-but was the Moneyballs as they cruised to two big wins over the Chuggernauts, 8-2 and 18-3. What a day for “Chuck” of the M.B.’s (we don’t even know if that is his name and his teammates didn’t even know who he was until they met before the game). He got the team’s first ever hit and team’s first homer. Not only did he have a day at the plate but also made every play out in the outfield and throw-ing people out on the base paths. Chuggs need to get it together af-ter failing to put one in the win col-umn for the second straight week.

In the last matchup of the day, the Misfits and Old Head battled back and forth. Old Head took game one, 12-7 and then the Mis-fits went on to win 20-10 in game two. Misfits need only two more

wins to tie their win total from last season. Old Head switched the defense around in Game 2 and didn’t work out so well as Joseee made about six errors and cost Old Head the game.

Three teams remain unbeat-en heading into Week 3 and one team has yet to play. It’s too early to say who is looking like the fa-vorite but after this week I’m sure we will start to get an idea.

9:30 Field 1, Morning Wood vs Orioles

Morning Wood has yet to take the field but should be two easy games for them as they take on the winless Orioles. PREDIC-TION: Morning Wood Sweep

9:30 Field 2, Misfits vs Mud-sharks

Misfits won 3/4 to start the sea-son but are in a tough matchup with the veteran Mudsharks. If the Sharks play their game this should be two more wins for them. PREDICTION: Mudsharks Sweep

11:30 Field 1, Knights of Co-lumbus 2672 vs Old Head

This game was circled once

the schedule was released. Half of the Knights are made up of all guys who played on Old Head. Pay back or revenge, call it what you want but these should be two good games. PREDICTION: Split

11:30 Field 2, Moneyballs vs No-Shows

No-Shows better hope they can score more than one run or things can get out of control quick. Are the Moneyballs for real or was Week 1 a fluke? PREDICTION: Split

Chuggernauts on the BYE.

Woerner's WorldTOP 10 COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

By Ryan Patrick Woerner If it surprises you that bas-

ketball is now the salutatorian in the present-day American sports hierarchy, it shouldn't. The NFL, of course, would be making the closing valedic-torian remarks at the annual graduation, if there ever was one, while baseball, hock-ey, motor sports, and others would sit in the audience ei-ther (a) wondering why their GPA was not high enough to earn such a distinction or (b) apathetically listening while conjuring up the post-cere-mony dinner order. The most anxious audience member at this fictitious ceremony would have to be baseball. The sport asks itself, "How on earth did this orange roundball that used to strug-gle filling major indoor ven-ues create such a nationwide hysteria, even though its two Championship participants hail from obscure media mar-kets that end the suffix "-land" (Note: No truly awesome mu-nicipality ends in the suffix "-land." New York, Chicago, Nashville, Charleston,.......nope).

One could hypothesize it is the wonderful athleticism or the meteoric player shot-mak-ing feats that opened the door for basketball to become the second most popular in the national sports landscape. But when basketball takes the stage to make the opening salutatorian remarks at grad-uation, it becomes immedi-ately evident what got it there. The guy has got personality!

The sport features un-masked participants who are celebrating every aspect of game play, while unleashing a fury of secret handshakes and other hi-jinks in the direction of fans, officials, and televi-sion cameras. The Mutumbo finger wag, the Lebron flex, the Jordan tongue/shoulder shrug/fist pump/everything - THAT is why we love basket-ball. Personality.

Baseball is a drag nowadays

- like everything we hate, it takes too long. Football feeds our instant gratification so-ciety's hunger with the best backyard spread we could im-agine, while basketball keeps us in shape in the off-season.

In Rockaway, we tend to like our personalities quite a bit as well. That is probably why everybody on the Peninsula has an unforgettable and oft incriminating nickname. In the same vein, it is no coin-cidence that we glorify our local basketball players as deity. This installment of the "Top 10 Basketball Players in Peninsula History" promi-nently features that element of personality which kept us coming back to the school-yard to watch our local he-roes, even as their legs began to fail them and the passage of time stripped them of their divine hoop aptitude.

#7 Billy Ryan 6'0 PG, Prince-ton (Archbishop Molloy). Ryan could have authored a series of books on roundball after wrapping a career un-der legendary "C" surnamed coaches Curran and Carill. Stands today as a top five assist getter in Tiger histo-ry and was a First Team All-League selection as a Senior. Ryan was drafted by the New Jersey Nets back in '84 when the NBA had as many selec-tion rounds as a school-wide kickball competition (200th pick), making him the only local draftee in the modern era. Known for his commit-ment to hardwood democ-racy, Billy found many fast friends who enjoyed spend-ing their time waiting for kick outs on the perimeter.

#6 Ryan McCormack 6'0 PG, Adelphi (Xavier H.S.) A bit early for the 2000-era prom that was the highly pro-motional world of AAU bas-ketball, McCormack fell to the Division II level, much to the dismay of every coach that had to strategize against his venomous abilities in col-lege. Whenever you can put the phrase "National Play-

er of the Year" next to your name, you know that you be-long among the elite. Led the Garden City University squad to an unblemished regular season in his senior year be-fore shipping off to Italy's top division for a few Sunday din-ner's worth of a professional career. Rumor has it current Michigan coach John Belein offered him a scholarship to Canisius before bolting to Richmond following his sen-ior year at Xavier High. Some-thing tells me if Belein could do it again, he would have had McCormack wheel his red wagon and cooler down to Virginia to crawl with the Spiders.

#5 Frank Walker 5'11 G, Hofstra (Christ the King) Forever ingrained in Rock-away folklore for his vaunt-ed quickness off the dribble, Walker's position on this list spawned more debate in the past week than our upcoming Presidential election. Over the course of four years at Hofstra, Walker casually reg-istered 1500 points while ce-menting himself as one of the Long Island school's greatest players of all time. In the right moment, he might tell you that the most fun he ever had playing was with the late 80's Connolly's dynasty in the St. Francis de Sales Men's Open Division. Possibly the best compliment I have ever heard regarding Frank's abilities, from a former summer black-top opponent: "The worst

moment of my life was in the huddle right before tipoff of a Summer Classics game, when a teammate told me I had to guard Walker."

#4 Clare Droesch 5'11 SG/SF, Boston College (Christ the King) Droesch, like Walker, matriculated from the Evil Empire on Metropolitan Av-enue in Middle Village. The teams she suited up with at Christ the King were every bit '96-'00 Yankees, winning 3 of 4 Federation State Titles (all comers) and sweeping a quartet of City Champion-ships. The insatiable desire to win carried on through col-lege, where she led an other-wise nondescript small Jesuit program to four NCAA Tour-naments, a Big East team tro-phy, and multiple wins over Geno Auriemma's UCONN team. To put that final acco-lade in perspective, New York City has changed mayors the same number of times in the past 3 years as the Connecti-cut women has lost basketball games. Always tepid when ad-dressing individual exploits, Clare managed four-digit ca-reer scoring tallies at both the prep and college level. Her game in two words? Ball play-er. At nearly the size of a col-lege power forward, she pos-sessed an unheard of career 40% 3PT percentage and had no issue bullying opponents with violent drives when the circumstances warranted.

Top 3 next week. Who ya' got?

Rockaway Little League PLAYOFFS IN FULL SWING

The Rockaway Little League playoffs began last weekend with exciting games in all divisions.

In Minor Boys, the L. Ma-honey Real Estate A’s continued their phoenix-like rise from the ashes of an 0-6 start, beating the Laquila Group Pirates 18-8 in their playoff opener. Hits by Michael Nestor, Ben Gressel, Matt Steiner, John Kelly, An-drew Vacarro, and Joe Butler plus walks by Jonathan Lazo and Matthew Schneider helped to secure an early 10-0 lead. In the field, the A’s got great de-fensive plays from Matt Steiner at first base, Michael Nestor at second base, Matt Schneider in right field, Hunter Gilhuley in left field, and Dino Tomasetti in left center to keep the Pirates from scoring. John Kelly gave up three runs over three in-nings. Andrew Vacarro gave up no runs over two innings. Ben Gressel closed the game and secured the win with a save.

The victory earned the A’s a date with the top-seeded Empire Unlimited Mariners. In that game, the Mariners grabbed the early lead and built a 7-0 advantage with ma-chine-like efficiency. The A’s closed to 7-4 and had the tying run at the plate in the last in-ning but a fine fielding play at second base ended the game. The Mariners advanced to face the winner of the Ozane Ori-oles vs. El Caribe Reds tilt while the A’s dropped to the loser’s bracket of this double-elimina-tion tournament.

In Major Girls, the Knights of Columbus Hilltoppers have had an up-and-down season. They hit a bit of a slump during the first three weeks of May, los-ing four games, but not without some notable plays and good at bats. When the Hilltoppers took on the Graybeards Bon-nies, Maddy Sheridan covered first base securing six outs and got one hit and scored, while Jackie Piccione at shortstop se-cured two pop-ups and scored on a walk and multiple steals. The Bonnies took the game with a 12-5 win.

A similar fate awaited the Hilltoppers when they took on the Stop and Shop Pandas. Helema Khan scored twice on a walk and a single along with an RBI, while Carianne Sconzo scored three times including on a three-run homer. The Pandas came out on top, 18-13.

The Walsh Property Flippers took the field against the Hill-toppers quite strongly on May 20, but not without a valiant effort by Corinne Connelly as pitcher and covering first base; strong at bats by Jackie Pic-cione and Carrianne Sconzo, both of whom scored twice and hit one homer each! Alas, the Hilltoppers couldn’t flip the Flippers who took a 14-6 win. It was a “Play it Again Sam” the next day with the Hilltoppers against the Flippers. The Hill-toppers notables were Kallynn Schanstra with a 3 run homer, Corinne Connelly with a 2 run homer and Maddy Sheridan

with 2 stolen bases, and scor-ing on one of her two singles. Again, the Hilltoppers couldn’t top the Flippers as they took a 10-5 win.

The final day of May, and the last game of the regular season brought the Hilltoppers against the Pandas. The Hilltoppers, who spent many of their games this season playing with nine dedicated girls did it once again to end the regular sea-son, however, this group of girls came to play! Their determina-tion shone through as Hele-ma, Jackie, Colleen, Carianne, Maddy, Leah, Kallynn, Jen and Corinne all played their strong-est game. Each player scored at least once. Defense was on point as Corinne Connelly cov-ered first and Colleen Bambury

and Jen Quagliariello pitched three innings each. The Hill-toppers took a 15-3 win!

The Hilltoppers players and coaches hope and pray for the complete recovery of Hannah Chasnoff who has been on the D.L. with a broken ankle. They also hope to see Mary Israel’s dad, Andy, feeling well and back in the stands real soon! They will excitedly welcome back Jill Ortega to the field just in time for playoffs rath-er than leading the chants in the dugout while recovering from an ankle sprain! The K of C team got off to a rough start in the post-season, losing to the Walsh Flippers by a baker’s dozen. The play an elimina-tion game against the St. John’s

Hospital Tigers, who had been raging hot before being edged by the Pandas, 10-7, in the first round.

The Major Boys division has seen several tightly played

games in the early rounds of the playoffs. The AKB Security Rockies rallied from an 8-run deficit to edge the Ram Title Pirates 11-10. The #2 seed-ed DriveSafe Mariners held serve against the 132413 Reds 6-3 while the Ridgewood Sav-ings A’s upended the 144132 Orioles 8-5. The A’s upset vic-tory earned them a matchup against the top-seeded Con-te’s Carpets Royals on Mon-day. That game became quite the pitcher’s duel. The A’s tied the score at 1-1 in the fourth inning with a second run de-nied at the plate. The Royals responded by scratching out two in their half and another run in the fifth inning to forge a 4-1 final.
