ROCKSTOCK IS SATURDAY
By Katie McFadden
Grab your board, ears and

beach chairs. RockStock & Barrels 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 Saturday, June 18.
The much anticipated summer 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 organizers, 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 didnt
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 lets do something
like Bloodfest but do it properly,
and we came up with RockStock
a decade ago, Dowd said.
The timing aligned with Rockaway 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 something like this, we said lets do it
and offer something free to the
neighborhood. We always wanted 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 boardwalk. Its definitely gotten much
bigger since then and now were
at a point where its Parks largest event on the boardwalk each
year, Dowd said.
One of the highlights of Rock-
Stock is the music element, organized by singer Walker Hornung. This years 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

Day Of The Dad
I dont 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 Im
not filling the air with some
weird rhythmic sounds Im
tapping a counter or desk.
Ive tried denying that I was
doing any such thing but others namely my wifewill say
its 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. Thats
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 Noises and thousands of results

came back. Turns out my
noise making is normal. Dads
make noises, thats 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.
Mmmmhmmmm.
When theyre not making
fun of your noises, people who
are not dads aim for the wardrobe. Dad clothes include
barbecue aprons, tube socks,
and tucked in polo shirts. Hawaiian shirts scream dad and
so does a phone attached to a
guys belt. Expect to be derided should you don any of the
above (or if you use the word
don.)
Dads cant 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 dont make dad noises and
sit there quietly someone will
ask, whats wrong?

Things sure have changed.
Weve gone from Father
Knows Best to Homer Simpson and Family Guy.
We are easy targets these
days but that doesnt mean we
dont 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, thats our weapon of mass embarrassment:
we show affection. Behave
or Im gonna tell you I love
you in front of everyone.
Thats ok if you didnt laugh
youre not supposed to laugh
at dad humor. Dad jokes are
defined as embarrassingly
bad and cringe inducing.
Dad, make me a sandwich.
Poof! Abracadabra! Youre
a sandwich! (Followed by
Dads disappointed face because the kid did not get
turned into a sandwich).
At a restaurant a dad joke
can come out of nowhere. A

kid might say, Ill have a quesadilla. 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 wouldve gotten
them beat up as kids.
Hey, Dad Im going to get
a haircut. The dad with a
straight face asks, which one?
I guess dad jokes come with
dad bodies, receding hairlines, and frequent urination.
Its only a matter of time before a drug company comes
out with a pill to curb corniness.
Until then, the whole world
will make fun of dads. But
dads dont want to rush a
cure. We like the putdowns
thats just the way the world
and our dear families show
love for dead old dads.
Heres a groan for the road.
Im hungry. Dad: Hi Hungry,
Im 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 summer hiatus on Tuesday was full of
heated discussions and new information.
Some of the biggest discussions
were about rezoning. About two
weeks ago the Land Use & Housing 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 needed 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 underground parking, an event space,
pool and more. With the exception
of one abstention, the Board voted
unanimously to allow for this rezoning for the hotel to be built.

The other zoning issues included 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 located 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-story building for 27 residential units
and 29-car parking. With a majority of the Board voting yes, this rezoning proposal was passed. The
other proposal was to add a C1-3
Commercial Overlay to the current 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 proposal.
The Parks Committee also gave
some updates. There was discussion 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 theyre
okay with the addition. Fishing locations were also discussed. Beach
13th and 15th have been designated 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 boardwalk, 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 Skanska 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 reducing the maximum noise level from
65 DNL to 55 DNL, which is a safer level that is implemented in a
majority of foreign countries. CB14
agreed to write a letter to the senators 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, Patricks, 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. Theres 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
weeks 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. Dont yell at us
were 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 dont 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, youll get a free
Rockaway Times t-shirt.
*****
Volleyball lives on. After last
weeks 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
wouldnt be summer without it.
*****
Time flies when youre 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 OReilly
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
Page 7
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 weeks
paper has the return of The
Beefchip, our popular columnist
whos 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.

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 Rockaway thinking to myself several
what if scenarios. Mind you
I have not done anything to try
and make these what if scenarios come to fruition but its
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 entire 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 sometimes 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-
The Rockaway Times
erne By the Sea great job, why

dont you guys just keep building 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 actually drain somewhere other than
the road you drive on!
What if Hilton or Marriott finally 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 parking 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
ROCKAWAYS FIRST
SELF-SERVE
FROZEN YOGURT SHOP
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 entrepreneur 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 installed to take people along the
beach to any beach they wanted to go and back to their cars
when they wanted to leave.
And residents who dont have
parking spots had year round
discounted access to the site
too.
What if Gateway was the recipient of a special grant from
the federal government in honor of the 100-year anniversary
of the National Parks and repaired the beachfront road that
everyone loved so much and
extended it!
Whats your favorite Rockaway what if ?

Baby Boomers?
By Pat Morgan
What are we doing here?

We, as in Baby Boomers
-- perhaps a misnomer because so many of us are now
grandparents. I see a lot of
my compatriots collecting
their grandchildren up at the
schoolyard. Why arent we
downsizing our homes and
retiring to the sunbelt? I was
curious, so I needed to check
out the numbers behind it.
(Okay, Ill admit it. Im a bit
of a data nerd, but Ill avoid
sounding like Sheldon from
The Big Bang Theory and
keep it as entertaining as
possible.)
There are a ton of interesting statistics out there on
Baby Boomers, who are defined as being born between
1946 and 1964. We make up
about 26 percent of the current population and in 2015
were surpassed by Millennials

(ages 18-34) as the nations
largest living generation.
Firstly, I discovered some
interesting numbers of how
we Boomers are spending (and not spending) our
money.
A 2012 study by the National Center for Policy Analysis
revealed that a surprising
59 percent of Baby Boomer 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 Sallie Mae, How America Pays
for College, went on to say
that the lions share of education costs 40 percent of
the total is paid by mom
and dad. Then throw in the
Sandwich Generation factor. Pew Research reported
that 15 percent of people in
their 40s and 50s were paying to support a grown child

AND a parent at the same
time.
Its no wonder that Baby
Boomers are spending less
on entertainment and eating out because we may be
spending more on our adult
children, and in some cases
our parents. From 1990 to
2010, Baby Boomer spending fell in categories such as
food, clothing and household 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 people cut debt levels by nearly $1 trillion. Much of that
came from Boomers cutting
back on personal debt : more
than half have cut back on
spending and reduced credit card debt, and one-third
paid off their mortgages, according 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 Boomers today are married. Only
11.7 percent have never been
married, with the rest of todays Baby Boomers being
either divorced (17 percent),
separated (3 percent) or widowed (2.7 percent).
Thirdly, the majority of
Baby Boomers are homeowners. 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 Depression and World War II.
According to a study by the

A Dad's Note
To His Son
Its been a while since I
last saw you. Over a year in
a fact. The last time you saw
me I wrote about the greatest hockey player of alltime bumping into a local
mic-loving DJ, and the common connection they had
with local hero Charlie Heeran. 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. Ill
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 wondering where Beefchip went, you
now can breathe sigh of relief
that I was here all along, waiting. It wasnt easy to leave my
fan base, the dozen of you are
important to me. But as Im
sure you understand, Daddy
DayCare doesnt come with a
union coffee break so that I
can pen a somewhat mediocre weekly column. Happily,
The Rockaway Times HR Department granted me a family leave sabbatical, cementing 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 together with the upcoming day
celebrating ME, and all the
wonderful things I do (Fathers
Day), I think its only right that
I share some thoughts and
perhaps some advice to my
The Rockaway Times

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
didnt think it was possible to
love someone or something
as much as I love you. But
outside of our small family, 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
youre thinking and No, you
cannot use your iPad in a restaurant or have Beats headphones on while traveling in
my or your mothers 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-
DADS NOTE
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, either way you will make your
mother and I proud, as long
as you perform your absolute best. Coming in first is
overrated, just give it your all
and know I will be at the finish line.
3. Respect others, especially women.
Hold the
door, give up your seat, and
let them go first. You dont
have to rush to where you are
going just make sure youre a
little bit early so youre on
time. Be as courteous as you
can to others, as long as its
not a danger to you or anyone around you. You never
know what demons someone else may be battling. If
someone is angry do not take
it as personal as your father
has, its 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 cant stand
up for themselves. Lead
the right path among your
peers and youll make someones 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 consequences to every action, and
if you act out, you may not
have anything left. I will not
apologize for those repercussions in advance, as entitlement (see Yelp.com) can
be a dangerous thing that
parents fail to recognize. I
still love you so much pal.
5. Love unconditionally and fully. Its starts with
knocking on the door for
your first date. Dont you
dare text or Facebook message Im outside. Thats
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 progress. 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 wasnt
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 Ill
try to live up to that standard, though it most certainly
isnt easy being easy.
7. If my time with you

should be cut short due to
unforeseen circumstances,
you are surrounded by people that love you. I can already 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 always 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 Partnerships

By Pat Morgan
The Rockaway YMCA membership is now equally divided across the peninsula and
thats how Executive Director
Rick Hopkins likes it.
The YMCA wants to be
part of the Rockaway community. We want to be seen
as the bridge bringing the
peninsula together, Hopkins
said, who gets excited when
talking about the community converging at his location
at 207 Beach 73rd Street in
Arverne. In our first year, we
had forty percent membership 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 achievement, Hopkins highlighted
a significant partnership be-
tween the YMCA and PS 197,

located at 825 Hicksville Road
in Far Rockaway. Working
with Principal Christina Villavicencio, the two organizations now provide 14 swimming classes per week at the
YMCA during the school year.
Each child in the 3rd through
5th grade, which is approximately 280 students in total, will have attended eight
classes.
Given the recent teen
drowning and general awareness 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 Rockaway Y recently entered into
a partnership with PS 197 to
provide swim instruction to
students at the school, Hopkins 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 partnership to save lives.

Besides the swimming instruction, PS 197 and the
Rockaway YMCA have also
engaged in an Afterschool
Program that provides stimulating activity as well as a Summer 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 YMCAs task is to invest
in the community and stresses 80 percent local employment at each of its locations.
We are one of the largest
employers in Rockaway with
between 165 and 200 employees, depending on the season.
That is reflected in our own
staffing of local people. We
even made sure that our largest contractors work force
(cleaning services) employed
80 percent of its staff from
Rockaway. When Hopkins, a
30-year YMCA employee, relocated from Washington D.C.
he wanted to be invested in
the local community as well.
He lives only a few blocks
from the YMCAs 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 peninsula. Our continuing goals for
the community are economic
development and community partnership. Rick would
like to see these partnerships
branch out to other local organizations.

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 nonprofit organization. We have
other programs that people
dont associate with the Y.
For example, we just started a
program called Silver Sneakers where ones health provider 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 investments in the Rockaway
community will continue
to fulfill the Ys mission of
promoting positive values
through programs that build
spirit, mind, and body, welcoming all people.
For any local organizations
wanting to learn more about
the YMCAs community partnerships, please contact Rick
Hopkins via email: RHOPKINS@ymcanyc.org For more

YMCA and its programs, visit their website: ymcanyc.org/

Dangerous
Indifference
Dear Editor:
It has been almost four years
since the storm of the century
devastated the Rockaway peninsula. 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 moving a finger to remedy the problem.
I have contacted every Rockaway politician, 311, and the Parks
Department numerous times.
NOTHING! Phil Goldfeders office acknowledged my request
and said they were working on

it. I was told they wont take the
branches down but will eventually take the whole tree, stump
and replant a new one but these
things take time. We dont need
new trees we need the dead
branches removed from the live
trees. I am also told I will be arrested 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 become 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 stillNOTHING.
When is someone going to fix
this? WHEN?

the health field. This kind of information and on a weekly basis is such a very big help to so
many people who suffer from
so many different health problems. Dr. Galvin this is a great
service and I will be looking
forward to your next article.
Danny Rucsillo
Dont

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, handsome, charming beyond belief,
there is in their nature a brutish violence that could erupt at
any time. Not ONCE has my faThanks, Doc

Dear Editor:
hands to either me, my siblings
I just wanted to say thank you or my children. The writer and
to Dr. Peter Galvin for so many his mother have been through
different and valuable topics in 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 Hurts
Dear Editor:
People need to stop supporting
panhandlers in the area. Merchants on Beach 116th street and
nearby are trying their hardest to
make the area attractive for shoppers. Giving money to panhandlers only encourages them to
keep coming back. That creates
a negative atmosphere and is unfair to hardworking shop owners.
There are many ways to donate
to charity. Charity shouldnt
hurt people but charity to panhandlers hurts local businesses
owned by real people.

A Fathers Day Note From A Son
Sean Boyle with his dad, Kevin Boyle.

By Sean Boyle
Fathers Day. It comes once

a year like every other holiday
and is usually spent the same
Daniel S
Mirkin OD
Mirkin
Vision
way every year by most kids.

You get your dad what he wanted which is usually nothing or
promise to uphold the request of,
just please dont fight with your
Mother and sibling(s). I myself

usually stick to getting nothing
since, lets be honest, not fighting
with a sibling over the TV, who
didnt flush, and who used whos
bike without asking is pretty darn
hard.
Humor aside, wondering what
I could possibly get my Dad for
any holiday occasion whether its
Christmas, Fathers Day, or his
birthday has always been a challenge. Youre probably thinking
how hard could it be? Just do
the standard cop out of getting
the old man some socks or dont
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 hasnt had a break since
either. Various medical emergencies 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 favorite pastimes include getting
in trouble with teachers, driving my mom to her last grain of
sanity, and forgetting to turn off
the lights and take out the garbage. Ive without a doubt given
the poor guy a lot of chest pains
throughout the years.
Im not sure if I can ever give
you anything close to what youve
given me, Dad. But at the very
least you deserve some recognition. Whether it was supporting
whatever weird interest Ive had
or driving me to the bus stop in
the morning, youre always there.
But most of all you taught me to
make sure I dont 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 everyone that matters, will be proud.
Heres to you, Dad. I cant
thank you enough. But I can put
out the garbage tonight.

OA And Joint Pain

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the
most common causes of chronic 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 however there is mounting evidence
that inflammation is a significant
factor as well, especially in younger 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 rheumatoid 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 develops fissures and tiny cracks, which
eventually evolve into erosive destruction in advanced cases. Once
the joint reaches the stage of bone
on bone contact with little to no
remaining cartilage, the inflammatory process skyrockets causing pain, swelling, joint deformity
and restriction of movement, often resulting in disability and joint
replacement. According to the
The Rockaway Times
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 billion per year, respectively.
Diagnosing OA is relatively
simple, usually requiring a physical 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 aerobic exercises, aquatic exercises
and weight loss. Often successful 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. Medications, both OTCs and prescription medications, can be used to
alleviate symptoms but will neither slow disease progression nor
cure it. Medication recommendations 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 documenting 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 peppers). More potent but non-narcotic 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 injection with cortisone may help temporarily but the number of injections per joint is limited and over
time injections become less effective. 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 determine 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 Brotherhood of the Grape at 3 p.m., Tumbleweed 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) after 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 Indaculture and RatTrap Bumpkin
couldnt make it this year due to

a schedule conflict as many of the
members participate in the Coney 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 years 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, Hornung selects one out-of-town
act to join the stage. This years
guest is Tumbleweed Highway,
a heavy country band from upstate 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 Rockaway 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, according to Dowd. There is a $15
registration fee, which will support the RBSA (see page 51 for
more). MTA Bridges and Tunnels
is also sponsoring the contest
with a $2,000 prize. That money will be waves permitting. If the
waves are big enough for a short
board contest, well be doing that
Saturday, but if not, well have a
contest for that prize in October
when the waves are really good. If
the waves are only small enough
for long boards, well have gift
certificates and other prizes Saturday, Dowd said. Dowd expects
the skate contest to take place between 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
Page 27
do in the shopping village. There
will also be some new elements
to this years 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 Library 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 organizers to give some money back
to the community and help the
skate park and support surfing
programs for the underprivileged.
As we go to press, the weather looks perfect for RockStock.
Come on out on Saturday. Its
free. Theres a lot to do, the music is always good, its a good
way to kick off summer and I
believe it has become a diamond in the Rockaways, Hornung said. For more info about
the event, check out www.rockstocknyc.net.

grandchildren.
Most Boomers enjoyed the
luxury of stay-at-home moms,
which is a rarity in this day
and age. Since economic conditions have changed since
then, both parents are now required to work in order to survive in todays middle-class.
According to the U.S. Department 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 percent in 1975. With both parents working, help is needed
to fill the gaps for things like
school drop-off/pick-up duties, driving to sports practice,
etc. Enter the resident Boomer 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 becoming grandparents every
year. We want to tighten the
bond with our grandchildren
but with a different, more relaxed 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 consulteering. Per a recent article in
the NY Times, it is a balanced
fusion of consulting, volunteering and leisure time, since
traditional retirement is no
longer satisfying. This staves
off the retirement blues, allows 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.
Im sure at least one out of
four people there will be a
Boomer.
Over
Years
uni
r
OuForCo
mm
e r v i ng
National Association of Realtors, nearly 80 percent of

Baby Boomers own their own
homes and one out of four
owns more than one property. But, their impact on real
estate has a long-term effect.
The Demand Institute predicts that Boomers will still
account for nearly $1 out of
every $4 spent, i.e. $1.9 trillion 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. Astonishingly, Florida claims
only about half the share of
out-of-state retirees as it did
a generation ago. I guess we
cant call Florida Gods Waiting Room any longer!
So why would aging Boomers 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. During a lifetime, people develop connections to a place
and form relationships with
neighbors, doctors, hairdressers and shopkeepers.
They become intimately familiar with the route to the
stores or place of worship,
the rhythm of the summer
beach season, the best places to get a coveted burger
and a personalized greeting
from a local business. These
associations, of value to both
the individual and the community, cannot be quickly or
easily replicated when moving elsewhere. These connections can also play a pivotal role in successful aging.
It is worth the price.
Fourthly is the interaction
of Baby Boomers with their

The Importance of Proper Estate Administration

By Alexander S. Bader, Esq.
There is no event more difficult in life than the loss of a loved

one. Beyond the most important
issues resulting from such a loss:
the grieving, healing and honoring 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 ones last will and
testament, or in the event your
close relative left no will, affirmative steps must be taken to address the suitable disposition of
the assets, and/or debts, left by
your loved one. Seeking counsel 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 circumstance should consider for
the following reasons:
Petitioning the court: Most
often upon an individuals
passing, a proceeding must be
initiated with the local Surrogates Court to appoint an Executor or Administrator of the
estate. Commonly this process
is known as Probate (without
a will it would more properly be
referred to as an Administration). An experienced attorney
will be able to advise you on the
type of proceeding or proceedings required (or if one is needed at all), the necessary documents that must be executed,
and the individuals that must
be contacted to comply with relevant law.
Dealing with difficult family
circumstances: If there are disagreements among closely related family members, this will
make matters even more complicated during such a trying
time. Experienced counsel can
help explain what your rights
are and advise how to best deal
with such contentious circumstances.
Dealing with financial institutions: Every financial institution has their own unique
requirements for transferring
FIA
assets and most often the requirements are more onerous

when dealing with a decedents
assets.
All tax returns, including final personal, fiduciary and estate 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 leaving any creditors, the creditors
must not be ignored or else there
could be serious consequences.
An experienced attorney can advise as to what the estates rights
are in relation to each creditor
and discuss priority of creditors.
Dealing with Beneficiaries:
Much like creditors, beneficiaries named in a decedents will
must be addressed in a particular manner under the law. Experienced 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 requires some form of accounting
to the court for the items that the
Executor or Administrator collected 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 certain circumstances if the standard is not met.

Xaverian Welcomes Class of 2020

On March 19th, Xaverian welcomed the members of the historic, 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-breakers. Parents assembled in the
auditorium to hear from President Robert Alesi 78 about the
progress of Xaverians strategic
plan for the future, including
facility enhancements currently
underway with construction on
Phase One of our Master Facility 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
ERIA
AV
N

AM
IC
The continued infrastructure

upgrades to include the replacement of our existing boilers with
two new duel fuel burners and
boilers which will be fueled primarily by natural gas, once our
conversion to gas is complete,
and will be equipped with a
backup oil fuel system capability. Additionally, a new modular
dedicated hot water system has
also been installed.
The complete renovation of
14 bathrooms throughout the
building.

nine classrooms, office spaces,

a Faculty Project Room, and a
large Commons Area.
The relocation of our Genesis Middle School to allow for
nine prime classrooms to now
be available for our High School
program. Our High School classrooms will continue to be upgraded as we replace outdated
Smartboard technology with 70
LED HDTV screens and Apple
TVs, which provide even greater
interactive capabilities for students and teachers.
The complete renovation of

our existing Locker Rooms to
create both a Boys and a Girls
Locker Room.
Installation of a new and upgraded building-wide fire alarm
and safety system.
Creation of temporary music
rehearsal space, art classrooms,
and a meeting/student commons space on our third floor.
Creation of additional new
STEM laboratories for Engineering 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 making history by joining this class. I
havent sensed any trepidation
or hesitation from these students
throughout the application
and registration process. This
is a group of truly talented trailblazers who will serve as a solid
foundation for the progression of
co-education here at 7100 Shore
Road.

The Rockaway Times
THE SKYS THE LIMIT

Fontbonne Hall Academy is a
member of the National Coalition of Girls Schools (NCGS),
the leading advocate for girls
schools, connecting and collaborating globally with individuals, schools, and organizations 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 participated in the Girls School
Advantage information session 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 other prestigious New York schools
including Brearley School,
Chapin School, Convent of the
Sacred Heart, Hewitt School,
Spence School, Marymount
School, and Nightingale-Bamford School. A Fontbonne junior spoke on the student panel.
Fontbonne has always believed that for girls, the skys the
limit. This year, students continued to excel, especially in
science and business.
In May, Fontbonne held its
Second Annual Science Research Symposium. Ten juniors and twelve sophomores
who are part of the Science Research Program presented their
projects to parents, students,
faculty and guests. During the
course of the three-year program, students investigate
particular areas of study and
formulate specific research
objectives under the advisement of mentoring scientists.
Their goal is to present their
data and findings by the fall of
their senior year. Topics at this
years symposium included
The Impact of Traumatic Experiences and an Irregular Onset
of Puberty on Eating Disorder

Risk in Females; The Neuroscience of Empathy; and Social
Psychology, People Preferences and Prosocial Behavior.
The Science Research Program is a unique opportunity for students. It is a true
STEM program because it is
a project-based learning experience 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 Fontbonne Principal Mary Ann
Spicijaric. Students learn
science and math, use technology, and learn the correct
way to collect data and analyze it to solve the questions
they asked at the beginning of
their investigations. It is one
of the most challenging programs 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 Introduction to Business course
participated in the Fordham
Interscholastic Business Challenge. At the annual all-day
event, students delivered original ideas and presentations
in three categories: Business
Ethics, Entrepreneurship, and
Marketing. Each of Fontbonnes
three student groups made it to
the finals, and they were distinguished with honors and cash
prizes.
All the students who participated in the Business Challenge are currently enrolled in
the first year of Fontbonnes
Entrepreneurship
Program
with St. Francis College. The
program includes Introduction to Business, Introduction
to Entrepreneurship and a
summer internship. Each class
earns three credits from St.
Francis College.

One of the many uses for

old wood doors is making 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/distressed look.
1- Step one is the crucial
part. Using a jigsaw or small
(3 inch) circular saw carefully cut the panels out making 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
The Rockaway Times
Door Shelves
first shelf the full depth for

the bottom shelf, cut each
additional shelf 1 shorter
on the depth than the shelf
below it working your way
up.
3- Cut 1x 2s, 2 inches
shorter than the shelves
length. Attach the 1x2s to
the backside of your door
centered on the opening
where your shelves will be
mounted using 1 screws.
4- Attach your shelves to
the door starting with the
deepest on the bottom working your way up to the smallest 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 standing (does not require attachment to the wall), you will
need to first stand it against
the wall to get a true height .
Cut 3 1x2s the height from
the top of the shelf to the
floor (against the wall). Attach 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 under the skin? You know you
cant 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 attempt the extraction with tweezers and maybe a pin and you
just cant reach it. What to do?

The lesson is twofold: patience is the first part. Its 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 something else and then go back to
it. Try again. Again, you cannot get at it. Stop, do something else and then go back.
Then, voila! You try again and
you are able to pluck it. During
Page 49
the process, it looks like your

skin is being cut open, but once
it is out and you put some alcohol to clean it and some peroxide, 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 something in our lives that we want
to change, have patience. Believing in the success of getting past it promotes the success. You know you have to
get that splinter out no matter
how. Coming back to it, trying different methods until the
one works is the same as approaching a problem in different ways, having patience and
believing that it will happen.
We will remove that splinter;
we will get past this problem
through patience and understanding.
The second part of the twofold lesson: do not give up.
When we have a small problem
that we know in our minds and
hearts if we dont deal with it,
it will become like the splinter
if it stays under the skin a big
problem. Or that present thing
T+|
e |
we want to change will never

happen unless we address it
and do not give up. Just like
the splinter.
While we really cannot ignore the splinter, we can ignore 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 different solutions. Keep going
at it because otherwise it will
fester, just like the splinter
wound, and the small problem
will become an unsurmountable 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.

TIME IN
A BOTTLE!
Rolled Stuffed
Salmon
By Sharon Feldman
By Emil R. Lucev, Sr. & his daughter Katie Lucev
The Lucev Bottle Collection

of antique bottles harvested
from the much & mire of Jamaica Bay Wetlands over the
years. Beer, Soda, Seltzer,
Mineral Water, Milk, Liquors,
Wine & Medicine of old, were
well represented. Ceramic

Mugs, Jugs & Ceramic Bottles. Plus old porcelain and
ceramic stoppers with names
still readable. Almost all of
the bottles are embossed Far
Rockaway, L.I. and Rockaway Beach, L.I.!
The oldest bottle in my collection is dated1876!
Serves: 6
2-1/4 pounds salmon fillet,
preferably wild, skin removed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large leeks, white and palegreen 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
cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy
sauce
cup dill sprigs, plus 6 more
for tops
Extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Melt butter in a large skillet over
high heat. Add leeks; cook stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add chard; season with salt
and pepper. Cook, tossing until
wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together 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
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, slicing 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 remaining yogurt mixture alongside.

Rockstock &
Barrels Surf
Contest Update
The 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 afternoon 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 were doing
away with numerous quarters,
semis and finals. The Rockaway
Beach Surfers Association contest will be holding a new contest format for this great event.
Each division will be competing in a one hour EXPRESSION

SESSION and the BEST WAVE
WINS!
Although each competitor will
be squared up against some others, its really about you and the
waves to get that one great ride.
Judges will score accordingly and the surfer with that one
great ride and highest points
will take it for that division.
The Divisions will be Mens,
Womens, Boys 16 & Under (age
as of 7/1/16) and Girls 16 & Under (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, its a free-for-all
but you must have a jersey to eligible for the prizes and to take
out the top spot.
Its going to be a phenomenal day with fantastic weather
forecasted, great local people
milling about, tents with awesome local goods, skate comp,
surf comp and ridiculously talented 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 boardwalk. Yay!

Jamaica Bay Softball: Week 2 In The Books

By 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 going all over the field, teams were
scoring runs left and right as every
game but one was in double digits. 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 Orioles. 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 Os as they dropped
their 3rd and 4th straight game to
open up this young season.
One of the only teams who didnt
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 coasted 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 debut 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 dont even know if that is his
name and his teammates didnt
even know who he was until they
met before the game). He got the
teams first ever hit and teams first
homer. Not only did he have a day
at the plate but also made every
play out in the outfield and throwing people out on the base paths.
Chuggs need to get it together after failing to put one in the win column 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 Misfits 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 didnt work out so well as
Joseee made about six errors and
cost Old Head the game.
Three teams remain unbeaten heading into Week 3 and one
team has yet to play. Its too early
to say who is looking like the favorite but after this week Im 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. PREDICTION: Morning Wood Sweep
9:30 Field 2, Misfits vs Mudsharks
Misfits won 3/4 to start the season 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 Columbus 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.

er of the Year" next to your
name, you know that you belong among the elite. Led the
Garden City University squad
to an unblemished regular
season in his senior year before shipping off to Italy's top
division for a few Sunday dinner's worth of a professional
career. Rumor has it current
Michigan coach John Belein
offered him a scholarship to
Canisius before bolting to

the course of four years at
Hofstra, Walker casually registered 1500 points while cementing 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 blacktop 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 Avenue 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 Championships. The insatiable desire to
win carried on through college, where she led an otherwise nondescript small Jesuit
program to four NCAA Tournaments, a Big East team trophy, and multiple wins over
Geno Auriemma's UCONN
team. To put that final accolade in perspective, New York
City has changed mayors the
same number of times in the
past 3 years as the Connecticut women has lost basketball
games. Always tepid when addressing individual exploits,
Clare managed four-digit career scoring tallies at both the
prep and college level. Her
game in two words? Ball player. At nearly the size of a college power forward, she possessed 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'

If it surprises you that basketball is now the salutatorian

in the present-day American
sports hierarchy, it shouldn't.
The NFL, of course, would be
making the closing valedictorian remarks at the annual
graduation, if there ever was
one, while baseball, hockey, motor sports, and others
would sit in the audience either (a) wondering why their
GPA was not high enough to
earn such a distinction or (b)
apathetically listening while
conjuring up the post-ceremony 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 struggle filling major indoor venues create such a nationwide
hysteria, even though its two
Championship participants
hail from obscure media markets that end the suffix "-land"
(Note: No truly awesome municipality ends in the suffix
"-land." New York, Chicago,
Nashville,
Charleston,.......
nope).
One could hypothesize it is
the wonderful athleticism or
the meteoric player shot-making 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 graduation, it becomes immediately evident what got it there.
The guy has got personality!
The sport features unmasked 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 television cameras. The Mutumbo
finger wag, the Lebron flex,
the Jordan tongue/shoulder
shrug/fist pump/everything THAT is why we love basketball. Personality.
Baseball is a drag nowadays
- like everything we hate, it

takes too long. Football feeds
our instant gratification society's hunger with the best
backyard spread we could imagine, 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 coincidence that we glorify our
local basketball players as
deity. This installment of the
"Top 10 Basketball Players in
Peninsula History" prominently features that element
of personality which kept us
coming back to the schoolyard to watch our local heroes, 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, Princeton (Archbishop Molloy).
Ryan could have authored a
series of books on roundball
after wrapping a career under legendary "C" surnamed
coaches Curran and Carill.
Stands today as a top five
assist getter in Tiger history and was a First Team AllLeague selection as a Senior.
Ryan was drafted by the New
Jersey Nets back in '84 when
the NBA had as many selection rounds as a school-wide
kickball competition (200th
pick), making him the only
local draftee in the modern
era. Known for his commitment to hardwood democracy, Billy found many fast
friends who enjoyed spending 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 promotional world of AAU basketball, McCormack fell to
the Division II level, much
to the dismay of every coach
that had to strategize against
his venomous abilities in college. Whenever you can put
the phrase "National Play-

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. Mahoney Real Estate As 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, Andrew Vacarro, and Joe Butler
plus walks by Jonathan Lazo
and Matthew Schneider helped
to secure an early 10-0 lead. In
the field, the As got great defensive 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 innings. 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 As
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 machine-like efficiency. The As
closed to 7-4 and had the tying
run at the plate in the last inning but a fine fielding play at
second base ended the game.
The Mariners advanced to face
the winner of the Ozane Orioles vs. El Caribe Reds tilt while
the As dropped to the losers
bracket of this double-elimination 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, losing four games, but not without
some notable plays and good
at bats. When the Hilltoppers
took on the Graybeards Bonnies, Maddy Sheridan covered
first base securing six outs and
got one hit and scored, while
Jackie Piccione at shortstop secured 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 Hilltoppers 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 Piccione and Carrianne Sconzo,
both of whom scored twice and
hit one homer each! Alas, the
Hilltoppers couldnt 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 Hilltoppers notables were Kallynn
Schanstra with a 3 run homer,
Corinne Connelly with a 2 run
homer and Maddy Sheridan
with 2 stolen bases, and scoring on one of her two singles.

Again, the Hilltoppers couldnt
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 season, however, this group of girls
came to play! Their determination shone through as Helema, Jackie, Colleen, Carianne,
Maddy, Leah, Kallynn, Jen and
Corinne all played their strongest game. Each player scored
at least once. Defense was on
point as Corinne Connelly covered first and Colleen Bambury
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
and Jen Quagliariello pitched

three innings each. The Hilltoppers 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 Israels
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 rather 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 bakers
dozen. The play an elimination game against the St. Johns
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 seeded DriveSafe Mariners held
serve against the 132413 Reds
6-3 while the Ridgewood Savings As upended the 144132
Orioles 8-5. The As upset victory earned them a matchup
against the top-seeded Contes Carpets Royals on Monday. That game became quite
the pitchers duel. The As tied
the score at 1-1 in the fourth
inning with a second run denied 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.
