A New Home for the New Year
By Barbara Daniels
We’ve all heard there is no
place like home for the holidays.
Late last year, after waiting and
praying for ten years, I finally
got to spend the holidays in a
safe, warm home in the Rocka-
ways. But for many seniors like
me, housing is not a given.
The conversation around
New York’s housing crisis is
making many headlines lately,
and with good reason. I know
from personal experience how
being without a home impacts
one’s personal dignity, health
and family life.
I am 75 years old and a moth-
er of five children. I retired
in 2003 after working for the
Board of Education for over 35
years. I have beat cancer twice.
Suddenly, I had to apply for
Section 8, which was not where
I expected to be at that stage of
my life.
Finding the right home when
you’re older is difficult. Sen-
iors like me want to live inde-
pendently as much as possible.

Tax Exemptions and
Utility Bill Reduction
You might have a chance
to save some money on your
property taxes or utility bills,
and Senator James Sand-
ers’ office is here to help. On
Friday, January 18, Sanders
will be hosting part three of
a four-part event series to
provide his constituents with
property tax exemptions and
utility bill reduction assis-
tance.
The event will be held from
3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Batallion
Pentecostal Assembly Inc.,
(454 Beach 67th Street) in
Arverne. There will be several
offices and agencies on hand
to explain how you can save.
The Department of Finance
will be enrolling homeowners
in the property tax exemption
program (households save
over $300). The Office of the

We want to be in a community
that’s friendly, safe and en-
gaging. We want a place that
is warm in the winter. And we
want some level of security
against natural disasters.
For 35 years, I lived in Arv-
erne. In 2007, after my chil-
dren moved out, I moved into a
small one-bedroom apartment
where the heat ran on electric-
ity and was very costly. I was
on the ground floor and lost
everything when Hurricane
Sandy hit, except for my hope
and faith.
NYS Comptroller Thomas P.
DiNapoli will offer unclaimed
funds lookup services and the
ability to register for refunds.
The Department of Environ-
mental Protection will assist
with delinquent water bills
and educate homeowners on
how to conserve water. Neigh-
borhood Housing Services
of Jamaica will counsel and
assist homeowners with lean
sale and foreclosure issues.
Margert Community Corpo-
ration will assist homeowners
and tenants with application
for conserving gas and heat
in household (lowers utility
bills), plus more.
As this is expected to be
a popular event, everyone
must RSVP by calling Senator
Sanders’ office at 718-523-

With many security cameras

residents from across Queens who
care deeply about their neigh-
borhood make their voices heard
by joining their local community
board,” said Borough President
Katz. “Serving on a community
board can be demanding in both
time and energy, but our govern-
ment is more effective and account-

South Queens Ball to Bring Area Bands
Together For a Good Cause
By Katie McFadden
Friday is going to be a ball.
On January 11, the South
Queens Ball at the American
Legion in Broad Channel, will
bring together some of South
Queens’ best bands under
one roof to raise some money,
while camera crews film live
to shed light on how the area
bounced back after Hurricane
Sandy, and how more work
still needs to be done.
It’s gonna be a rockin’ time
on Friday night as Sasha Dob-
son, Hop City Hellcats, Walker
and his bands, Brotherhood
of the Grape and Q-South,
Indaculture, Wine With Sue,
and others come together for
a good cause. The bands are
donating their time to raise
money and give back to a place
that has served the communi-
ty in positive ways—American
Legion Hall Post 1404. Mean-
while, the whole thing is going
to be filmed by Queens Public

recovery.
South Queens, including
Rockaway, Broad Channel
and Howard Beach, was
hit hard by Hurricane
Sandy, but it didn’t
take long before the
area proved that it
was determined to
bounce back. The
summer after Sandy,
Walker Hornung,
Jimmy Dowd and
Boarders hosted the
annual Rockstock
and Barrels festival on
the beach to show that
Rockaway keeps rocking
no matter what’s thrown at
it. Parts of the festival were
filmed by Joe Valva of QPTV
and it was made into a short
documentary that went on to
win an award. Now more than
·
six years later, QPTV hopes to
shed light on where the area
stands now since the storm,
showing the progress and
bringing attention to how
some are still not back home.
So they’ll be filming some

of the same musicians that
rocked the post-Sandy Rock-
stock at a can’t-miss music
festival on Friday, while local
online radio station, Rock-
away Beach Broadcasting
Company, will broadcast the
whole thing live.
Walker Hornung, who
has organized the sweet
lineup for the show, said
the pieces for the South
Queens Ball fell togeth-
er. “I’d been in touch
with QPTV and Joe said
he wanted to do a fol-
low up to the last doc-
umentary, showing how
the area has rebounded
and how everyone made
out after the storm, whether
they had a good experience
or a poor one. He’s going to
interview people that weren’t
happy with how things turned
out after Sandy, and people
who are pleased,” he said.

Around this time of year,
Hornung and his bands per-
form at B.B. Kings in Manhat-
tan, but after the venue shut
down last year, he was look-
ing for a backup plan. “They
offered me the Cutting Room
and the new Sony Theater,
but I figured we might as well
stay local and raise money for
those at home,” he said. Hor-
nung reached out to the Broad
Channel VFW, where he often
performs at local fundraisers
for friends in need, but those
at the VFW directed him to
another venue that could use
some help—American Legion
Post 1404. With the bands do-
nating their time, the $20 ad-
mission to the show will go
right back to the American
Legion. Hornung says Jimmy
Smallman of the American
Legion has been a big help
in making the show possible.
Plus, the arrangement wound
up working out well as the Le-

New Year, But Old Problems Discussed at CB 14

By Kami-Leigh Agard
At the onset of Communi-
ty Board 14’s first meeting for
2019 this past Tuesday, January
8 at Bayswater Jewish Center,
folks cordially greeted each oth-
er “Happy New Year!” Howev-
er, once the evening kicked off,
tensions ran high. From worries
about yet another new mixed-in-
come housing development with
the proposed Beach 21st Street
site, homeless shelters, and lack
of infrastructure with parking
and schools included for the
Downtown Far Rock’s Revitali-
zation; lack of progress with Arv-
erne East’s development; status
of Peninsula Hospital’s former
site, and worries about Rock-
away Beach — not just beach
erosion, but the safety and chal-
lenges already witnessed in the
winter months — folks were not
just silently despondent, they
were mad, and wanted answers.
First up was CB14 Chairwom-
an Dolores Orr commenting on
her disappointment with NY
Rising, (a participatory recovery
and resiliency initiative estab-
lished to provide assistance to
communities severely damaged
by Superstorm Sandy, federal-
ly allotted with more than $700
million). “We are hoping to re-
ceive their most recent report,
which we have been promised to
get by next week,” Orr said.
CB14 District Manager Jon-
athan Gaska announced two
committee meetings both hap-
pening next week at Knights of
Columbus at 7 p.m. On Tues-
day, January 15, is CB14’s Youth
Services/Education Committee
meeting, and the Transporta-
tion Committee’s meeting is on
Wednesday, January 16.
CB14 board member and
Rockaway Beach Civic Associa-
tion (RBCA) president John Cori
brought up the lack of develop-
ment for Arverne East. “I would
like to hear from all the agencies
involved. I feel that even after
the Environmental Impact State-
ment (EIS) was announced by
the Department of Environmen-
tal Conservation (DEC), all the
focus has been on downtown Far
Rock. Why isn’t CB14 becoming
bigger players on Arverne East’s
future?”
In attendance was Council-
man Donovan Richards, who
responded, “Mayor Alicia Glen
will be meeting with folks who
were part of the project. Howev-
er, keep in mind that the infra-
structure costs for Arverne East
are astronomical. This project
dates back to the Bloomberg
administration. The current ad-
ministration wants less density
in the plan. I believe the current
vision is for it to be less residen-
tial, and more commercial. The
focus is on homeownership,
small homes that are affordable,
and shrinking the density of the
area. ”
Gaska added, “The original
version of the plan was market
rate with the developers paying
for the infrastructure. However,
as soon as you add ‘affordability’
to the equation, the infrastruc-
ture costs, like Donovan said, are
astronomical.”
During the public speaking
period, Lisa George from Sen-
ator James Sanders’ office an-
nounced two critical meetings:
Next Friday, January 18, 3 p.m.
to 7 p.m., at Battalion Pente-
costal Assembly Inc. (454 Beach
67th Street), Sanders is hosting
an event to provide his constit-
uents with property tax exemp-
tions and utility bill reduction
assistance. On Saturday, Febru-
ary 2, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Black
Spectrum Theatre (inside Roy
Wilkins Park: 177-01 Baisley
Blvd., Jamaica), get ready for a
hot debate on marijuana legal-
ization. To RSVP, contact Sand-
ers’ office at 718-523-3069 or
718-327-7017.
District Leader Lew Simon
announced a Public Advocate
Forum on Thursday, January
24, 7 p.m. at Martin De Porres
HS (140 B 112 Street, where all
candidates will participate. Si-
mon also voiced concerns about
something that was on many
minds—the rising water level on
the peninsula and Broad Chan-
nel. “With the continual rains,
flooding has been rampant and
our sand is almost gone in some

Continued from Page 12
areas. What’s going to happen
this summer with our prime
beaches and bay,” Simon said.
RBCA’s Bridget Klapinski,
Clare Hilger and Jeremy Jones
expressed their worries about
the health and safety of Rocka-
way Beach. “With all the flood-
ing and continual tides — from
wire, wood, garbage — there is
so much hazardous debris col-
lecting on the beach. We are less
than five months before Memo-
rial Weekend. Unless something
is done, the beaches are going
to be shut down again, which is
a big letdown, not just for resi-
dents, but visitors. Forget swim-
ming, people already can’t walk
on the beach. And also, beach?
What beach, it’s gone! We want
the Parks Department to not just
drive by this strip, but walk. The
decayed wooden sticks from the
groins are a huge safety hazard.
Please remove these sticks!,” the
group said.
Councilman Richards then re-
ported on quite a few highlights
in all the multi-million-dollar
construction projects underway
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2019
for Downtown Far Rock’s revital-
ization. Namely: The reconstruc-
tion of the abandoned Thriftway
Mall is starting; also revamping
existing schools with new facili-
ties and equipment; tackling the
flooding issues in Arverne and
Edgemere and downtown Far
Rock; rebuilding the Far Rocka-
way library, expanding the Arv-
erne library; funding the new
maternity ward at St. John’s and
expanding the Addabbo Health
Center’s facilities and services;
expanding sanitation pickup in
Mott Avenue (Beach Channel
Drive to Cornaga Avenue); build-
ing affordable housing at Beach
Dunes II; senior affordable
housing on Beach 34th Street;
and the most recent jewel, the
Beach 21st Street site, which
boasts 224 affordable housing
units with retail space, commu-
nity playground and garden and
parking spots, and the list goes
on. One important mention, re-
garding flooding, Richards ad-
vised that if you see catch basins
clogged, call 311 immediately, as
clogged basins add to flooding.
Though many at CB14’s meet-
ing were elated by the downtown
improvements, there were many
questions.
Bayswater Civic Association
President Enid Glabman had
a question regarding schools.
“With all this new housing and
people coming in, I don’t hear
you discussing plans for new
schools. Especially for children
on the elementary school level.
Many parents like knowing they
can walk their children to school,
instead of bussing them,” Glab-
man said. Richards responded,
“As you see, many schools in the
plan are going to be upgraded
and totally improved. Most mid-
dle class people don’t send their
children in this area to the local
schools, due to lack of educa-
tional quality or safety. Howev-
er, these schools are going to be
upgraded to an elevated field,
where parents will feel encour-
aged.”
Richards also announced
that his office will be hosting a
meeting regarding the future
of Peninsula Hospital’s site on
Tuesday, January 22, 6:30 to 8:30
p.m. at PS/MS 105 Bay School
(420 Beach 51st Street). To RSVP,
email: dbrown@council.nyc.gov
Page 13
or phone 718-471-7014.
As for Community Builders
presentation about the Beach
21st Street (behind Mott Ave-
nue) that boasts 224 apartments,
green-equipped affordable
housing units with solar energy,
24K square-feet of ground floor
retail space, a fitness center,
community garden and play-
ground and over 470 construc-
tion jobs — those in attendance
were not impressed.
Cori asked, “Forget about
adding more housing with no
schools or parking. To whom
are these construction jobs go-
ing to? They should be kept local
and union.” To which the Build-
ers’ team responded, “We don’t
have control over that, especially
because of the nature of the pro-
ject, we’re not sure who’s going
to be hired, and if they will be
paid union rates.”
A vote was then called as for
whether CB14 would endorse
the Beach 21st project. With a
majority vote of 19, Communi-
ty Builders got the support they
needed to present their plan to
the Queens Borough President’s
Office this coming Monday.

As I strive to move through
the initial days of the New
Year, I find my house is clean
and empty. Sterile, even. The
tree, though still up, lacks its
pre-holiday luster. Mixed emo-
tions collide and cloud my vi-
sion. Was it the best day of the
year, or the worst? Did I find
the true spirit of Christmas and
recapture child-like wonder?
Or did I lose another piece of

my innocence to the cynicism
of adulthood?
I think back to the days prior
to Christmas that now seems
so far away, so utterly un-
approachable. I feasted and
laughed, but still wished for
more. I waited and waited. I
even sang festive holiday tunes
and yet still, I waited more. I
waited for Christmas morning
when I could briefly become
a child again. But shortly after
it arrived, I looked around and
contemplated the festive, yet
crumpled wrapping paper and
stray tinsel littering the floor
like confetti and the absence of
the 24-hour sounds of Christ-
mas carols on the radio.
The living room looks like a
circus and, to be honest, it kind
of was. Bringing with it an end
to anticipation, it still felt like
I was waiting. Maybe I was. I
shared my post-holiday melan-
cholia with my beloved Grace
("she who must be obeyed"),
and told her that I still yearned
for that one special holiday
·
memory that could help to
carry me through to our next
Christmas season, to assist
me in keeping myself mind-
ful of Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer and his indefatigable
optimism and abundance of
Christmas spirit. In her infinite
wisdom, "she who must be
obeyed" sat me down and told
me that I should not depend on
Rudolph to assist me in deal-
ing with my post-holiday dol-
drums, as he actually does not
exist.
According to my beloved and
the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game, while both male
and female reindeer grow ant-
lers in the summer each year,
male reindeer drop their ant-
lers at the beginning of win-
ter, usually late November to
mid-December. Female rein-
deer retain their antlers till af-
ter they give birth in the spring.
Therefore, according to every
historical rendition depicting
Santa’s reindeer replete with
splendid antlers, every single
one of them, from Rudolph to
Blitzen, had to be a girl.
"She who must be obeyed"
ended with the caveat that my
sexist ass should simply ac-
cept the fact that, clearly, only
females would be capable of
chauffeuring a morbidly obese
man in a red velvet suit who has
not shaved in years, all around
the world in one night, stop-
ping whenever necessary to ask
directions, and returning him
home safe and not get lost in
the process! All I could think of
was that Gene Autry is turning
over in his grave somewhere out
west!
Enough with the post-holi-
day blahs! Shortly after the New
Year, myself and Grace partook
of a brunch at a local eating es-
tablishment and while perus-
ing the menu, my attention was
drawn to a gentleman seated
alone at the bar having a grand
old time by himself laughing
loudly at nothing in particular.

BETWEEN THE
BRIDGES
Continued from Page 20
As he finished a drink, he would
wave to the bartender for an-
other and then proceed to start
laughing once again. I couldn't
help but stare until "she who
must be obeyed" tugged at my
sleeve and asked, "Don't you
recognize who that is?"
Not having a clue, I simply
shook my head. My beloved
responded, "It has been more
than thirty years ago we dated
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2019
and he proposed to me but I
turned him down. What do you
think of that?" All I could think
to say was that 30+ years have
passed since his marriage pro-
posal was declined and here
he is today, still celebrating!
In closing, my physician has
assured me that X-rays have
ruled out a concussion but
in the future I should remain
keenly aware that some things
are left better unsaid!

GETTING THROUGH
THE WINTER
For years and years, I suffered
in the winter. I suffered from the
lack of light and the cold - my
mood was low and I struggled
to be ok. I didn’t have the mind
strength to think ahead and
I didn’t know what to do. My
friends would tell me to buy the
“sun-stimulating light” and sit in
front of it for periods during the
day when I could.
My “light” came when I ac-
cepted the seasons - not liking -
but accepting. And when I used
my mind to serve me rather than
letting it dictate my experience
especially in winter. Any sign of
sun, I am sitting in it and thank-
ing it for warming my heart. I try
to plan to study something or
whatever if I’m going to be home
on a long Sunday. I try to make
a choice to rejuvenate rather
than let the lack of light take the
“light” out of me.
I come back to what my father
used to say when I asked him
if he was cold when we were
outside and he didn’t have his
hat or gloves. He would say, “I
tell myself I’m warm and I get
warm.” I try to tell myself to be
happy and while I am not jump-
ing up for joy in the winter, I am
ok with maybe going within and
thinking that today is today and
tomorrow is tomorrow and if
I am lucky enough I will arrive
at the time when I will open the
windows and let the fresh air
come in.
But for the time being, it is a
time to explore the inside. May-
be intimate time with family and
friends. Learning something
new. Making something. Plan-
ning something like the summer
garden or an upcoming mem-
orable event. All in all, being
conscious about using the time
to be present and happy, rather
than letting the affected-by-win-
ter body call the shots. It is a
physiological thing, from what
I have read - shorter light days -
real physical body effects which
I have felt and endured. But it
could be a very different experi-
ence. We can be sad or we can be
not sad, by using a few tools.
When you start thinking how
sad you are, think of something
funny.
When you start thinking
about the daunting tasks you
have to do now or in the future,
imagine being plucked up and
away and dropped in a beauti-
ful place.
When you are sitting like a
lump on a log feeling sorry for
yourself, go to a mirror, look
into your own eyes and ask
yourself, “What do I have to
feel sorry for?”
And move. There are many
forms the body can take to pro-
mote good feeling. Movement
of the spine in different direc-
tions is energizing - bending
to each side, twisting to each
side, folding forward. Stretch-
ing the arms to the side and
up overhead and tilting back a
little into a gentle backbend is
great for a bad mood because
the spine elongates and energy
rises.
In the winter, think positive,
move and turn the corners of
your mouth up.
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 in-
ner peace.

DOC
By Peter Galvin, MD
Watching TV,
Not That TV
Tinea (or pityriasis) versi-
color (TV) is a common fungal
skin infection that causes the
skin to turn a variety of colors
(therefore “versicolor”). It is
caused by Malassezia yeasts
that live on human skin. Seba-
ceous skin glands release a fat-
ty, oily substance that is called
sebum through hair follicles.
Sebum provides nutrients that
are necessary for the yeasts to
survive on the skin. Living in a
hot, humid climate, sweating
excessively, or having a weak-
ened immune system allows
the fungus to flourish. Tinea
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2019
versicolor is most commonly
seen in adolescents and young
adults and can affect some fam-
ilies more than others, however
it is not contagious. Because the
fungus interferes with the func-
tion of melanocytes (skin cells
that produce skin pigment), it
can cause the affected skin ar-
eas to be lighter in shade than
the surrounding unaffected
skin. This is often more visible
in the summer months due to
sun exposure as sunlight stimu-
lates melanocytes to make skin
pigment (otherwise known as
tanning). Typically, the chest
and back are most affected by
TV as those skin areas have the
highest number of sebaceous
glands, however TV can also
occur on the upper arms, neck,
and face. Skin infected by TV
will have a blotchy, mottled ap-
pearance. Scales, or skin flakes,
can also be seen with TV. Other-
wise, the only other symptom of
TV may be mild itchiness.
TV may be diagnosed by
scraping the affected area of
the skin and examining it under
a microscope. The yeast cells
have a round and long, narrow
form often resembling, and
therefore called, “spaghetti
and meatballs.” Alternatively,
scraping or stretching the skin
may cause more flakes to form.
This is called the evoked scale
sign. Microscopic examination
or looking for the evoked scale
sign is often unnecessary as the
appearance of the skin is usual-
ly enough to make the diagno-
sis. TV is notoriously difficult
to treat, and relapses are com-
mon. Treatment usually starts
with selenium sulfide sham-
poo (aka dandruff shampoo) as
this causes the outermost por-

tion of the skin to shed, there-
by removing the fungus. This
treatment is done daily for one
week, however repeated treat-
ment is often necessary. Topi-
cal antifungals like ketocona-
zole and zinc pyrithione are
other common treatment op-
tions. Rarely, if the skin infec-
tion is widespread or resistant
to other treatments, oral anti-
fungals may be used, however,
due to the risk to toxicity with
oral antifungals, this is almost
never advised. It is important
to remember that it may take
months for the skin to return to
normal appearance after suc-
cessful treatment. Often, the
persistence of a blotchy skin
pattern may be mistaken for
failed treatment. Summertime
relapses are common and, for
those with frequent recurrenc-
es, monthly treatments may be
necessary.

Life With Our
“Artistic” Child
By Kami-Leigh Agard
Recently, a parent shared an
article about a Puerto Rican au-
tistic boy who gained the abili-
ty to speak just after two doses
of cannabis oil (CBD). At first I
balked. The medical community
is actually prescribing weed for
autism? I incredulously pictured
my daughter smoking a blunt, like
a pint-sized Cheech and Chong.
It seemed a little avant-garde for
the conservative in me, but I was
intrigued.
According to the article, the boy’s
parents tried various schools and
therapies, and eventually stum-
bled upon a mystery treatment:
CBD oil. Through a fundraising
program, they were able to receive
a tiny bottle of the oil. He was giv-
en oral doses twice a day. Within
just two days, he was finally able to
speak. The mom said, “Kalel sur-
prised us in school by saying the
vowels, A-E-I-O-U. It was the first
time ever. You can’t imagine the

emotion we had, hearing his voice
for the first time. The teacher re-
corded him…and we said well, the
only different thing we have been
doing is using CBD.”
I got emotional just reading the
story because I too, want to hear
my daughter speak. I scoured the
internet and found out that there
are hundreds of parents in the
U.S. and internationally adminis-
tering CBD to their autistic chil-
dren. There is even a nonprofit
organization, Mothers Advocat-
ing Medical Marijuana for Au-
tism (MAMMA), co-founded by
Thalia Michelle, a self-described
conservative Christian mother
from Texas. In a Tonic.Vice.com
article, “There’s a Movement to
Legalize Weed Extracts for Kids
With Autism,” Michelle said, “My
life was hell. I didn’t sleep…I
did everything (for him) short of
any hardcore pharmaceuticals.
The difference CBD oil made for
Lance was almost immediate.”

ilar to other herbal extracts, the
chemicals in cannabis oils vary
depending on how the extract is
made and what chemicals were in
the plant to begin with. There are
several cannabinoids, but the two
that are most well-known among
consumers are THC (tetrahydro-
cannabinol) and CBD (cannabid-
iol). THC is the primary psycho-
active compound in marijuana
and it is what people are search-
ing for when they want a product
that gives them a "high." Unlike
THC, CBD isn't known to cause
psychoactive effects, and is there-
fore attractive to those who want
to avoid the high but who believe
there are other benefits of CBD.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion doesn’t endorse CBD or any
form of cannabis for the treatment
of autism. The journal, “Global
Pediatric Health” notes, “CBD
and similar products remain a
promising yet unproven interven-
tion in the treatment of children
with autism.”
But another team of Israeli re-
searchers have found promising
results. Israel is the medical mari-

juana research capital of the world
and has conducted an impressive
amount of research on cannabis
and autism.
NYS legalized medical marijua-
na in 2014, but only 10 conditions
make patients eligible. Namely:
Cancer, HIV infection or AIDS,
Multiple sclerosis, spinal cord in-
jury with spasticity, Epilepsy, In-
flammatory bowel disease, Neu-
ropathy, Huntington’s disease,
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) and Parkinson’s disease.
However, I found there are NYS
parents of autistic children, who
are paying out-of-pocket for CBD.
I’m still on the fence with CBD.

Drop The Doubt
Dear Enchantress,
I want to change. I doubt
myself ALL the time. I stay
awake every night riddled
with self-doubting thoughts,
replaying old things that
have passed. I create stories
that are not true and then
live in inner pain and tur-
moil. I read your column
here a lot, and it's a big deal
for me to reach out, so I hope
my letter gets answered. I am
kind of out of shape. I will
begin to work out again this
year, but I feel pretty much
hopeless that I can change.
Can I? I know you don't have
