Saturday’s Kite Festival to Honor

By Katie McFadden
“Let’s go fly a kite, up to
the highest height…” Kites
galore will take to the skies
above Beach 84th Street
on Saturday, July 20 as
part of the Rockaway Kite
Festival. As the kites fill
the sky with color, many
will be reminded of the
colorful personality of the
man who started it all—
the late Billy Taylor.
Taylor was a man of
many trades and talents,
and one of them was
purely unique—kites. In
Billy Taylor
turned to the sea during
Hurricane Sandy and at
the urging of the commu-
nity, the artist who paint-
ed her, Geoff Rawling,
was determined to bring
her back in some form.
Rawling now credits Tay-
lor with helping make
that dream come true.
“Billy Taylor is a long-

ey for her rebuild. The
event was a success and
according to Rawling,
Taylor contributed about
90% of the funding to re-
build a new Whalemina.
While the Parks Depart-
ment wouldn’t allow for
a new statue, according to
Rawling, the artist found
another way to bring her
back—by making her mo-
bile. The Whalemina float
made her debut at the
Coney Island Mermaid
Parade in 2018. “We have
the whale now, which Bil-
ly was largely responsible
for,” Rawling said.
Taylor never got to see
it. In January 2016, he
died after a battle with
cancer. But his spirit lives
on through Whalemina
and will continue to live
on through the kite festi-
val. Saturday’s event will
serve as a celebration of
Taylor’s life and all that he
loved. In addition to Rawl-
ing, helping with the effort
is Taylor’s son, Matthew,
who will continue the leg-
acy of his father. “Matthew
took over the responsibil-
ity of the kites, so we de-
cided early this year to do
another kite festival. We’re
going to bring out the
whale and celebrate Billy
and keep the spirit alive,”
Rawling said.
At the event, which will
run all day from 10 a.m.
‘til 9 p.m., there will be
unique kites to see, a va-
riety of kites to buy at all
price points, kite givea-
ways, and of course, op-
portunities to take pic-
tures with Whalemina
2.0. So during this beau-
tiful beach day, head to
Beach 84th to celebrate
the spirit of Billy Taylor,
the rebirth of Whalemi-
na, and maybe even fly a
kite.

BOYLEING POINTS Mean Genes

Death and taxes, I get it. The
only guarantees in life. But the
death part seems a little less
definite. I mean you’re gonna
die but some part of you just
doesn’t believe it. You wake
up every day. You’re still here.
If the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over
and over and hoping for a dif-
ferent outcome—then what
about the thought of dying? I
keep thinking about it, but it
doesn’t happen, so I must be
insane.
Which reminds me of that
crazy kid’s prayer they taught
you back in the days of the
lava lamp. If I should die be-
fore I wake, I pray the Lord my
soul to take…what the hell?
You’re a kid and they’re
teaching you a prayer about
croaking in your sleep? No
wonder I can’t catch forty
straight winks. Between won-
dering if the Lord is going to
take my soul and stubbing my
toe on the way to the bathroom
for a middle-of-the-night pee,
I’m a mess.
But there’s more to it. It’s in
my genes.
If you’re doing the whole
family tree thing, you go to An-
cestry.com or 23AndMe. They
both should be called Can Of
Worms dotcom.
I did Ancestry.com first and
so did my immediate family
members. Turns out, I am truly
the father of the son who will
remain nameless. All in all, I
didn’t find out anything worth
an eyebrow arch.
But you gotta be prepared for
all kinds of surprises with these
things. Investigators tracked a
serial killer through Ancenstry.
com. They found DNA at a
crime scene, found possible
relatives and then boom, fig-
ured how who the killer was.
So, you might be related to a
serial killer or you might find
out you have a sibling that you
didn’t know about. Or find out
your sibling is a serial killer.
Crazy stuff is possible.
23andMe is a rival site of An-
cestry and offers a lot more to
worry about than somebody
you never knew suddenly
showing up to use your private
drive in the summer. 23and-
Me runs your DNA through
various tests and tells you if
you’re more likely to be afraid
of heights and if you are more
likely to like chocolate over
vanilla ice cream. And, hon-
est to God, they tell you if you
are more or less likely to have
a unibrow. Allow me to pause
as I brag and dance around a
little: I am less likely to have a
unibrow, according to my DNA
profile.
My genes also indicate that
I’m not likely to be a deep
sleeper. (It did not indicate
that I would have murder-
ous thoughts about people
who leave wind chimes out at
night). I was told in very po-
lite terms that I wasn’t cut out
for pro sports: “Kevin, your
genetic muscle composition
is uncommon in elite power
athletes. You do not have the
same genetic variant as these
elite athletes.” Wow. I’m glad
I paid for the premium service.
I guess the free version says,
“Kevin, you’re a doughy piece
of lemon merengue pie and
stop making us laugh trying to
be a jock.”
23andMe also delivers a
loaded gun. Your DNA tests
reveal whether your suscep-
tible to various diseases, in-
cluding Alzheimer’s and/or
Parkinson’s. The results don’t
say if such things are certain
but they tell if your ancestors
dropped that turd in the DNA
pool.
You don’t have to look. You
have to check off a bunch of
things to gain access to this
info, so it doesn’t hit you like a
rogue wave. Do you really want
to know? So far, I have not yet
peeked at my results (or I did
and I have already forgotten?).
Did I mention I don’t have a
unibrow?

We got a call from a read-
er complaining about the
size of Dr. Galvin’s name in
the "Ask the Doc," column.
The caller said we’ve been
shrinking his name and im-
age every week and the read-
er has had to resort to using
a magnifying glass. He asked
why a couple of times. He did
not leave a name or number,
so we’ll answer here. We try
to keep the column to half
a page. If the Doc gets uhm,
wordy, we shrink the header,
as it’s called. But a magni-
fying glass? If the caller has
trouble again this week, we
suggest looking on Page 28 for
Zwerling Ophthalmology.

We got another call about
a swarm of bees in the Beach

with some of the suggestions

Speaking of contests, last

Extra, Extra! ‘Newsies’ Set to Leap

Onto the RTC Stage
By Kami-Leigh Agard
It’s 1899, and a rag-tag gang
of ragamuffins, known as “new-
sies,” led by Jack Kelly, form their
own union protesting newspa-
per titan Joseph Pulitzer for hik-
ing the price of the “papes” they
hawk to feed themselves. To bor-
row a quote from Charles Dick-
ens’ novel, “A Tale of Two Cit-
ies,”— “It was the best of times, it
was the worst of times, it was the
age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness, it was the epoch of
belief, it was the epoch of incre-
dulity…,” and the Rockaway The-
atre Company’s (RTC) produc-
tion of the musical, “Newsies,”
powerfully points out the conflict
between family and love, hatred
and oppression, good and evil,
light and darkness, and wisdom
and folly. The stirring ballads,
amazing choreography and act-
ing played out on the stage illu-
minates a time in NYC that was
at one hand—one of despair and
suffering—and on the other—a
ray of joy and hope. The curtain
on RTC’s moving production
goes up this Friday, July 19, and
it’s definitely not one to miss.
This past Monday, The RT got
a sneak peak of the production,
directed and choreographed by
Gabby Mangano. The production
crew and cast pulled no punches
in making this an epic production
of talent and artistry. The music,
directed by Jeffrey Arzberger, is a
live orchestra filling the theater
with a cacophony of sounds rang-
ing from flute, clarinet, guitar,
violin, piano, cello and drums.
Watching the actors and dancers
will leave you shell-shocked with
their larger-than-life energetic
scores and dance gymnastics. No
note is lost in translation, and try
not to blink with the eye-opening
proof, that there is a great deal
of talent in community theater.
Jack Kelly, (played by Sam
Kelley), the leader of the pack
of ragamuffins, comes off as a
rogue, very handsome and out-
wardly standoffish, but there is
a tenderness he emotes espe-
cially with his friend, Crutch-
ie. Thomas Daudelin, the actor
playing the role of Crutchie, a
disabled orphaned youth who
walks with crutches, is so be-
lievable that you want to walk
to the stage and hold him as he
precariously balances his pain
of being different from his peers,
but still trying to fit in with the
gang of misfits. No spoiler alert,
but what happens to him at the
ending, will have you in tears.
Another magnetic star on the
stage is the owner of a vaude-
ville theater, Medda Larkin, who
befriends Kelly, and gives him

‘NEWSIES’ SET TO
LEAP
Continued from Page 8
protection from the authorities.
Donna Falzon, who plays Larkin,
is sexy, lush and her guttural vo-
cals will woo you to want to join
her as she unabashedly unleash-
es her raw sensuality, very avant
garde, especially for the time pe-
riod. Early in act one, Medda tells
Jack, “Where better to escape
trouble but the theater!” Her ren-
dition of “That’s Rich” will fill you
with life.
And the showstopper, though
you only see him in one scene is
actor, Brian Sadowski, who plays
the evil man himself, Joseph Pu-
litzer. Love him or hate him, Sad-
owski as Pulitzer is so believable
that you want to flog him—he’s
that good.
Newsies really tells the story of
what a labor union can unleash
when it comes to solidarity, and
fighting against big guys like Pu-
litzer, who have their “scabs”
aka gangsters, to keep uprisings

Sixth Rockaway Beach Jazz Festival

Back at the Boardwalk!
By Kami-Leigh Agard
Folks, if you’re all about that
jazz—Rockaway is calling you
home for the Sixth Annual Jazz
Music Festival hosted by local
Tim Otto next Saturday, July
27, featuring three NYC jazz
bands at Low Tide Bar at the
Beach 97th Street concession.
This lineup offers a range for
jazz lovers, who like in a wed-
ding—want something new,
unexpected and of course,
something straight-up tradi-
tional. Otto, a more than 30-
year veteran saxophone play-
er, describes himself as just
a jazz aficionado, passionate
about bringing his love of the
music genre to the beach.
According to Otto, profes-
sionally trained at the prestig-
ious Sydney Conservatorium
of Music in Australia, when
he first moved to Rockaway 10
years ago, it was a wilderness
when it came to the live jazz
music scene. “I’ve been play-
ing professionally for over 35
years, and of course jazz is my
love. I’ve lived in NYC for over
30 years, and when I moved
to Rockaway 10 years ago, I
wanted to share my passion
not just for the music, but
the musicians here in Rock-
away, the community I made
my home with my family, but
there weren’t many venues to
play, especially for jazz,” Otto
said.
However, Otto said that as
the years progressed, he was
able with the support from the
community of jazz lovers, to
turn that around.
“The music scene here has
changed so much in the last
few years, especially up to five
years ago. Ten years ago, there
weren’t many venues to play,
and there wasn’t much hap-
pening as far as jazz. I started
doing some jazz nights at the
Rockaway Beach Surf Club
when they first opened, and
they actually hosted the inau-
gural jazz festival, which was
great,” Otto said.
Then the next year, Otto was
able to move the festival to the
boardwalk at Low Tide Bar,
which has been hosting it ever
since.
This year’s lineup is the vari-
ety that Otto likes to showcase.

Rockaway Shows Love for Pride

Rockaway’s got pride. The
first LGBTQ Pride Block Party,
held on Saturday, July 15, had a
big turnout.
Rockaway’s LGBTQ organi-
zation, Out Rockaway, teamed
up with the Joseph P. Addabbo
Family Health Center to bring
the first block party event to the
peninsula that celebrates LGBTQ
pride. Many stopped by the event
that featured music, speeches,
resources, a photo booth, ven-
dors and more, including elect-
ed officials like Assemblywoman
Stacey Pheffer Amato, New York
State Attorney General Letitia
James, Councilman Donovan
Richards and Councilman Jimmy
Van Bramer. The event was made
possible by volunteers from Out
Rockaway, especially Jim Burke
and Oscar Escobar.

er forecaster.
Speaking of weather, by
the time you are reading this
column, we should be on
the tail end of some showers
and T-storms, the system
remnants of Hurricane Bar-
ry but the real story will be
the heat build-up Friday into
Saturday. The heat index
Friday afternoon will possi-
bly be in the triple digits and
will still be hovering around
90 degrees at 1 a.m. Saturday
morning. While you are out
on your deck early Saturday
morning, wondering wheth-
er your wet hair is from your
recent shower or you are
simply sweating, that an-
noying humming sound you
hear will be all the air con-
ditioners in Broad Channel
running in unison accom-
panied by everyone's ConEd
electric meters spinning like
tops!
Bear with me for a moment
while my inner weather geek
attempts to explain this cli-
mate phenomenon. A heat
wave is a prolonged period
of abnormally hot weather
that only occurs during cer-
tain periods of the year, usu-
ally (OK, maybe always...)
during the summer! Having
got all that technical stuff
out of the way I should tell
you that yes, we're having
a heat wave, a tropical heat
wave. The temperature's ris-
ing, it isn't surprising. But
what can you do about it?

some semblance of control

do as I did and switch out
all the thermostat and oth-
er temperature readings in
your home from Fahrenheit
to Centigrade. Granted, it's
more psychological than an-
ything else but 30 degrees C.
sounds a hell of a lot cooler
than 90 degrees F. and you
can warn the rest of the fam-
ily not to touch the A/C un-
less the temperature reads
90. Whatever you do make
sure you do not switch over
to Kelvin temperature read-
ings or else people will call
the Fire Department think-
ing the house is on fire. (90
degrees F. = 305 degrees K.)
Okay, now that we have
your house A/C and ConEd
in check, what if you have
to go outside during the
heat wave? Three quick rec-
ommendations...1. always
dress for the body you have
and not the one you always
wanted...2. for all you pret-
ty ones out there, go easy on
the makeup lest you wind up
looking like a Picasso paint-
ing and finally...3. resist the
urge to throw a bucket of
cold water over your head.
Remember what happened
to Margaret Hamilton in the
Wizard of Oz?
Oh, before I forget, try
to avoid any "but it's a dry
heat" remarks. After all, we
do live in the middle of Ja-

Georgina's Says ‘Ciao’ to Rockaway
By Katie McFadden
As you walk in, the smell of
cappuccinos and pastries im-
mediately hits your senses and
your mouth starts to water. The
cobblestone path below your
feet takes you right to the roads
of Rome, as above you the vines
bearing lemons that match the
bright tables and chairs trans-
port you to Sicily, while scenes
of seaside towns make you feel
like you’re on the Amalfi Coast
rather than New York. That feel-
ing is reinforced as you’re greet-
ed with a “Ciao, bella” from an
Italian woman with a welcoming
smile. Now comes the tough part.
What to order? After all, the deli-
cious endings are never ending
at Beach 116th Street’s new café
and bakery, Georgina’s.
Perhaps you fancy a slice of
Italian cheesecake filled with
fresh ricotta that melts in your
mouth with each bite. But if New
York style cheesecake is more
your heart’s desire, they have
that too, topped with fruits like
cherries, blueberries or pineap-
ples, or without. Bite into an Ital-
ian cookie so fresh it crumbles
right on your tongue as a burst
of jelly tantalizes your taste buds.
Or maybe you’re just there for a
classic cannoli, which are filled
with cool, fresh cannoli cream
right before your eyes. Wash it
all down with a strong cappuc-
cino, espresso or maybe an iced
coffee on a hot day. Still need to
cool down? Try one of the many
frozen delicacies you can’t get at
any other shop on the peninsula
like tartufo, spumoni or a refresh-
ing lemon granita, an actual lem-

THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019
Part of what makes everything
delicious and authentically
Italian are the first- and sec-
ond-generation Italians who
own and operate Georgina’s.
Charlie D’Ancano has been
coming to Rockaway since he
was a kid and about six months
ago, he decided to make it his
permanent home. However,
coming from a family that has 60
years in the restaurant and bak-
ery business, he wanted to bring
a taste of it with him to share
with his new hometown. So he
partnered with longtime friend,
Frank Fodera, a Rockaway res-
ident for 35 years, and both set
out on a new retail venture—an
Italian bakery and café. They
came across the perfect spot on
Beach 116th Street, the former
home of Blue Bungalow, just a
few doors down from where the
busy shopping corridor saw its
last bakery about 15 years ago.
In a rush to meet the busy
summer season, D’Ancano, a re-
tired carpenter, and Fodera, an
electrician for Pappas & Fode-
ra Electric Co., acted quick and
built out their own shop within
·
a month. However, by the looks
of it, it’s clear that they put great
care and detail into the build out.
On July 4, Georgina’s opened its
doors to the community, and to
rave reviews.
Georgina’s sees a steady flow
of customers all day, so much
so that they’ve already extended
their hours. “We were originally
going to be open until 8 p.m., but
we still had people walking in at
9, 9:30 every night, so now we
close around 10 p.m. We didn’t
expect that. It’s been a pleasant
surprise. It’s exhausting, be-
cause we’re here since 6:30 in
the morning, but we don’t mind
it. It’s great,” D’Ancano said.
As The Rockaway Times sam-
pled some treats, D’Ancano
spoke to two women from Ozone
Park sitting nearby, already call-
ing them “regulars.” D’Ancano
said this has become the norm
with people coming from near
and far to experience what Geor-
gina’s has to offer, especially with
the ferry bringing in internation-
al customers that have shown
appreciation for the Italian-in-
spired décor and scenic murals,
The Rockaway Times
with one woman even pointing
out her own home in a photo,
showing that Georgina’s is mak-
ing a personal connection with
their customers in all that they
do. As you walk through the door,
the staff greets everyone with
a smile and even offers a fresh
cup of lemon water, as they treat
everyone like a family member.
For those at Georgina’s, family
is very important. The shelves are
stocked with fresh products de-
livered from D’Ancano’s family’s
wholesale bakery business based
in Brooklyn, by family members
such as his nephew. Behind the
counter, making customers feel
at home are two young fami-
ly members of the owners and
D’Ancano’s sister-in-law, Jose-
phine LoGiudice, whose fami-
ly brings in the frozen desserts.
And the name of the bakery was
inspired by a new member of the
family—Georgina, D’Ancano’s
one-year-old granddaughter.
Making sure everyone feels at
home, Georgina’s tries their best
to accommodate customer re-
quests. They take special orders
and will make cakes for any occa-
sion. “We’re a specialty café and
bakery. We try to give great service
and hospitality, along with the
best quality that we’ve been used
to in all our years,” LoGiudice
said. “We do trays of cookies, all
kinds of cakes, mini pastries large
pastries, all kind of Italian cook-
ies, morning danishes, muffins,
gelato, everything.” And for those
feeling something savory, they
offer that as well. “We have all
different types of breads that are
picked up fresh every morning.
We have olive loaf, broccoli loaf,
eggplant loaf, prosciutto loaf,
spinach load, focaccia, a wide
variety of everything,” D’Ancano
said, pointing out the array. They
also offer arancini (rice balls) and
plan to offer even more food op-
tions in the future.
What else is in store for the fu-
ture of Georgina’s? With things
going so well, D’Ancano says he’s
already scouting a second retail
location in Queens so that even
more people can say “ciao” to
Georgina’s.
Georgina’s Bakery Café is lo-
cated at 165 Beach 116th Street.
They’re open seven days a week,
from about 6:30 a.mn. to 10 p.m.

Ask the Get The Lead Out

DOC By Peter Galvin, MD
One of the most common
metal poisonings is lead poi-
soning, also known as lead
toxicity.
Children are more sensitive
to lead exposure than adults,
especially children under
five years of age. Young chil-
dren spend more time crawl-
ing on the floor where there
may be dust contaminated
with lead and they tend to
put objects in their mouth.
Lead may be absorbed via
the digestive tract, respira-
tory tract, and the skin. Lead
may be found in the air, wa-
ter, dust, soil, food, and con-
sumer products. In the U.S.,
lead has been removed from
paint and gasoline, however,
some aviation gasolines may
still contain lead. If you live
in a house or apartment built
before 1960, the paint in your
house may contain lead. As
this paint ages and flakes off,
it falls to the floor as dust.
Descriptions of lead poison-
ing date as far back as 2000
B.C. The brain and nervous
system are most susceptible to
lead. Fetuses and young chil-
dren are more sensitive to lead
because their brains and nerv-
ous systems are still develop-
ing. Most children with high
lead levels are asymptomatic,
however lead poisoning can
lead to decreased IQ, learning
disabilities, hyperactivity, hear-
ing problems, and impaired
growth. Rarely, more serious
neurological symptoms like sei-
zures and coma may occur. In
pregnancy, lead can affect the
development of several fetal or-
gan systems.
The poor are at greater risk
for lead toxicity, as are those in
developing countries. In 2016,
540,000 lead-related deaths
were reported worldwide,
mostly in developing countries.
Mass lead poisoning events
have occurred, most recently
in China and Nigeria. In both
of those cases, hundreds of
children were killed when they
were exposed to fumes and ex-
haust from a local factory. A few
years ago, there was a recall of
toys that were made in China
because the paint on them
contained high levels of lead.
Despite it being removed from
gasoline and paint, lead is still
used in many other products
including glass, lead-acid bat-
teries, radiation shields, am-
munition, circuit boards, fetal
monitors, ceramic glazes, cos-
metics, and jet engines. Work-
ers in industries that produce
these products must take pre-
cautions to prevent their ex-
posure. These precautions are
overseen by the federal gov-
ernment via the Occupational
Safety and Health Adminis-
tration (OSHA). Workers must
also ensure that they do not
bring home lead particles on
their clothing.
If lead toxicity is suspected,
it can be confirmed by a sim-
ple blood test. In pediatrics, a
finger prick test is available,
although it is less accurate
than a full blood test. Lead
poisoning is very treatable,
especially if caught early.
The mainstay of treatment is
chelation therapy.
Basically, this uses a med-
ication to bind to lead mole-
cules and carry them out of
the body. Here in NYC, those
who live in public housing
are most at risk for lead poi-
soning, mostly from peeling
and chipping paint. While this
hazard has been known to the
authorities since the 1970s, it
continues to pose a problem.
Media stories abound about
mismanagement at NYCHA
which explains why the prob-
lem still exists over 40 years
after it first became known.

WAKING UP TO LIFE
“Beyond living and dream-
ing, there is something more
important: waking up.” - Anto-
nio Machado
What the statement invokes is
different for each of us. We live,
go through the motions, wake
up every day, perform the rou-
tines and the rituals common
to our lives. And the days fly by.
We may dream about having/
getting different things, being
in a different place with some
more peace or ease, not having
worry, being able to give more
to people we love, having more
money, connecting with some-

one, getting into a relationship,
having a better relationship
with our kids, and the list of
dreams goes on and on.
Somewhere in between these
two states of being is a bliss
place of waking up to the mo-
ment. In between the mun-
dane, routine, everyday, and
the out-there, possible, the
perfect dream is that place of
waking up to the moment. We
often talk about being in the
moment; this notion is about
waking up to it, which is up-
lifting, empowering, and for-
ward-positive.
·
A close friend recently shared
that she has some things she
wants to do before she closes
her eyes and is taking the next
step to begin that journey. We
don’t know how much time we
have before we finally close our
eyes, so the notion of waking
up to possibilities is particular-
ly powerful to me. All of a sud-
den, I realized that no matter
how old we are, what we have
done, what we want, we have
no control over the moment we
will close our eyes. My friend
realizes that and is waking up
to her moment to fulfill some
of her dreams. She is making a
change, carving out some time
and doing something else.
Some people have many
“waking up” periods in their
lives, being aware of and open
to opportunities that may arise
and maybe changing direction
or doing something new. Be-
ing present with a calm mind
sets the stage for waking up
to the moment, waking up to
change, waking up to do and be
something different. Physically
speaking, waking up is associat-
ed with opening the eyes, so we
The Rockaway Times
can also talk about it as opening
the eyes wide to not only what
is in front of us, but what is all
around us. And then thinking
about how to enhance the mo-
ment, how to enhance a rela-
tionship, how to enhance our
states of being. Put aside fears,
know that support is out there
when needed, and try to find
what really matters to you.
On July 16, there was a partial
full moon lunar eclipse.
“...while releasing and end-
ings are a big theme of this
Eclipse, there is something
deeper happening here too.
This Eclipse is not just guiding
us to release and bring clo-
sure to things that have served
their time, it is also guiding us
to stretch; to stretch the limits
of our mind, our body and our
soul.” (“Intuitive Astrology: July
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 2019”:
foreverconscious.com). Let the
universe be your guide; wake
up to all your possibilities.
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.

Traveling With Bob and Sandy

By Bob & Sandy Nesoff
One of the fastest growing
means of leisure travel in recent
years has been the river cruise.
Amongst the most popular are
the long ships plying the riv-
ers of Europe. But which one to
choose?
The itineraries are similar
for most of the major lines; the
ships are similar. Think “stretch
limo.” Most river ships, called,
“Long Ships,” are reminiscent of
the stretch limo used in proms
and weddings.
Accommodations are univer-
sally comfortable, food is gener-
ally excellent and the tours and
attractions along the rivers…
well, they’ve all been there for
hundreds, if not thousands of
years. So what’s the difference?
Arguably one of the most well-
known of the river cruise lines is
Viking River Cruises. You’ll often
see their ads on television. But
where do they truly rank among
say, 10 river cruise lines?
A CRUISE LINE OR HOTEL?
According to Travel & Leisure
Magazine, one of the most re-
nowned publications focusing on
travel, Viking ranks a respectable
fourth place. Really? Yes, really?
Viking falls in behind Tauck
(#2) and Crystal (#3). The sur-
prise in the T&L survey is Uni-
world Boutique Cruises. The poll
taken by the magazine was con-
ducted amongst people who’ve
cruised the various world rivers
and placed Uniworld in a solid
#1 position.
One reason for the success
of Uniworld is the fact that it is
family run. Today, four genera-
tions of the Tollman family over-
see not only the cruise line, but
its Red Carnation luxury hotels
that can be found in Florida and
Europe. There’s a Tollman hand
in every aspect of the business.
Beatrice Tollman, company
president, has a fine and deli-
cate hand in the overall opera-
tion ensuring that every sector
of the company lives up to the
high standards she’s set.
While Uniworld came in at
#1, Red Carnation placed in the
100 best hotels in the world. Its
parent company, Travel Corpo-
ration, operates in 70 countries
and has such well-known enti-
ties as Trafalgar Tours and Con-
tac Tours under its umbrella.
Uniworld operates in Europe
on the Danube, the Ganges,
Mekong, Nile, Po, Rhone, Vol-
ga, Yangtze and more. The Dan-
ube cruise, one of two Uniworld
cruises we sampled from Vienna
to Bucharest brought passen-
gers into close touch not only
with locals by having lunch in a
villager’s home, but visiting sites
such as ancient Roman archeo-
logical digs.
A second Uniworld cruise we
purchased along with another
couple, whom, we interesting-
ly met on the Danube cruise,
brought passengers to China.
On tap was Tiananmen Square
where some years back the
government killed an undeter-
mined number of young people
demonstrating for democracy.
The highlight of this trip, with-
out exception was seeing the
terra cotta army in Xi’an. That
discussion will have to wait for
another time.
While China is billed as a land/
cruise trip, the only time on the
Yangtze was a four-day cruise.
But to watch the beauty of China
pass the balcony of your cabin
was worth the time.
Unfortunately, there is no
nexus between the cruises and
Red Carnation. The hotels have
earned as much kudos as the
cruise line. The T&L list named
Red Carnation as the #6 spot for
the best hotels and it also placed
them in the top 10 in other cat-
egories.
Red Carnation Hotel “41”
faces The Mews and overlooks
Buckingham Palace. There’s no
guarantee, however, that you’ll
see Queen Elizabeth or Harry
and Meghan. But keep looking
out of your window. One never
knows.

Keeping Sidewalks Safe
for Pedestrians and Bikers
Crossing Rockaway Beach
Boulevard in the summer can
be like the old video game
Frogger. There are so many
racing bikes, cars, ferry shut-
tles, buses and trucks to dodge.
Unfortunately, the sidewalk
can be just as dangerous.
In addition to children under
age 13, who are legally allowed
to bike on the sidewalk, teen-
agers and even some adults
ride the concrete to avoid the
busy streets. This creates dan-
gers for pedestrians and bicy-
clists alike.
According to Belle Harbor
resident Elda Vale, “The oth-
er day, an elderly woman was
frazzled because she hadn’t
realized a tween on a bike was
trying to pass her on the side-
walk. Had she not “felt” that
someone was beside her, she
would have been hurt. Just
yesterday I had a tween almost
crash into me from the front.
He was on his bike with ear-
phones on, looking down at
his phone while driving fast.”
This is a common occurrence
when bicycles do not have a
bell and young riders don't
know bike etiquette.
There are several things you
and your children can do to
keep the sidewalks safe if you
need to bike on them:
Be like Captain America.
There is an iconic scene in
Captain America: The Winter
Soldier where the Captain re-
peatedly says, “On your left!”
as he zips past Sam Wilson. If
you are about to pass a pedes-
trian on your bike, give that
person notice when you are
5-10 feet away. You can say,
“on your left” or “excuse me.”
Better yet, if you have a bell on
your handle bar, ring it. If you
want to go retro, buy a bicycle
horn.
Stop (or slow greatly) at cor-
ners. This is especially impor-
tant if you are riding in the
opposite direction of traffic.
A driver emerging from a side
street may not see a moving
bike behind a bush or wall. If
you are riding in the opposite
direction of the cars, it is likely
To advertise in THE ROCKAWAY TIMES call 718-634-3030 ads@RockawayTimes.com
THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019
that driver won't see you until
your bike is directly in front
of his or her moving vehicle.
If you do not want to stop or
slow at the corners, then use
the bike lane.
Pay attention. Just as tex-
ting and driving is a leading
cause of car accidents, staring
at a smart phone while biking
will also lead to unfortunate
events. If you are using your
phone or iPod for music, fol-
low the one earphone rule. (It
really is the law.) Leave one
ear open so you can hear pe-
destrians, other bikers and car
horns.
Walk Your Bike in Commer-
cial Districts. Busy commer-
cial streets like Beach 129th
are difficult for bicyclists
to navigate. There are too
many double-parked cars,
people darting out from be-
tween parked cars, and car
doors opening suddenly.
Riding on the sidewalk is
not a good option. With all
of the people coming in and
out of stores, there are many
places where the sidewalk is
too “pinched” to enable safe
transit for bicyclists and pe-
destrians. Walk your bike up
the block. When you park it,
either chain it to the curb-
side bicycle parking device
or stand it right along the
storefront. This will leave
safe passage for pedestrians
and other bicyclists.
It is important to note that
the safety tips are not just

Beach 133rd Kids
Celebrate the 4th
On July 4, the Beach 133rd Beach Block held their annual Chil-
dren’s Parade to celebrate the day. The parade started at Rocka-
way Beach Boulevard and ended at the beach wall, where every-
one said the Pledge of Allegiance and the children sang God
Bless America. The event ended with a breakfast for all.
This year, the residents also celebrated a new flag pole at the
end of the block. The flag pole was dedicated by Monsignor Jack
Bracken in honor of John Gerard Farrell who lost his life on Sep-

The 35th edition of the St. Francis

now, with games in the Fr. Grogan

Bryanne Flaherty's Women's
Open division plays Mondays
and Tuesdays in the gym while
the Men are scheduled in the
schoolyard on Thursday nights
but Mother Nature has disrupt-
ed those plans, causing many re-
schedules since the last time they
were actually able to play outside
on June 13. Hopefully this weather
pattern will break. As always, The
Graybeards are the first to start
and the first to finish. The Young
Guns began playoffs last Thurs-
day while the Legends begin this
Thursday night. All their games
are now at St. Camillus gym with
both championships scheduled
