PAGE 2THE WOODSIDE HERALDFRIDAY, MAY 8, 2009MAYOR'S CORNERBY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERGMoving our City and our BudgetForward in Tough TimesRecently, we’ve been stressing the sensible measures, like coveringsneezes and coughs, that everyone can take to stop the spread of flu andother viruses. Following vigilant precautions pays off in other ways,too - and the City budget that we have presented shows that.Well over a year ago, we recognized that the city and nationaleconomies were entering a downturn. And instead of sticking our heads inthe sand, or engaging in wishful thinking, we began then to stabilize theCity’s finances. Since January 2008, City agencies have taken $3.4 billionworth of actions to close the looming gap in next year’s budget. We’ve alsobeen able to draw on approximately $5billion in surpluses the City accumulated- and wisely didn’t spend - duringthe last economic boom to help balancethat budget.As a result, even as this recessionhas proved far more painful thananyone could have predicted, we’vebeen able to keep the city movingforward. We’ve driven crime downeven further, keeping New York thenation’s safest big city. We’ve continuedto improve our schools andquality of life. And we’ve launchedinitiatives to help New Yorkers stayin their homes, find new jobs, and keep their small businesses open - theessential first steps on the road toward our goal of creating or preserving400,000 jobs in our city over the next six years.The wise measures we’ve taken over the past 16 months have alsoallowed us to prepare a budget for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1st,that will get us through the difficult days ahead without resorting to the‘worst-case’ measures we were considering in January. We no longer, forexample, anticipate that there will be teacher layoffs - good news forstudents and parents alike. Even though we’re reducing our capital budget,there won’t be any cutbacks in school construction - and there will still bealmost $62 billion in job-creating investments in rebuilding our infrastructureover the next ten years. We’ll keep our public safety and safety netservices strong. And to speed our economic recovery, we’ll also increasejob training, augment our emergency loan pool for small businesses, andstep up efforts to prevent housing foreclosures and abandonments.Now, to accomplish all this, we’ll need the help of the City’s partnersin State government, and also the cooperation of the City’s workforce.Albany must approve a new pension tier for future City employees, justas State leaders did during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s. That will reducethe ever-growing bite pension costs take out of the funds we couldotherwise use to pay police officers, keep libraries open, and clean ourstreets. We’re also asking City unions to join us in restructuring health careplans to produce recurring savings. And regrettably, to preserve essentialservices even with the billions of dollars in budgets cuts that we’ve made,we’ll also need a half-percentage point increase in the sales tax.Even with all these measures, there will continue to be further belttighteningby City agencies. But we’re going to make sure thateverything we do protects our quality of life, including the safety andhealth of all New Yorkers.13-05 44TH AVE., LONG ISLAND CITY, NY 11101TELEPHONE (718) 729-3772 - FAX: (718) 729-8614BUSTER SABBAMARLENE SABBA .............................................

Doherty, Commissioner of SanitationSpring is finally here, andonce again nature is paintingour streets and parks with brightbrushstrokes of green, red, yellowand pink hues. Even toughNew Yorkers, used to gettingaround on foot regardless ofthe season, are welcoming thearrival of spring. City streetsare once again overflowingwith couples, walking hand inhand, mothers pushing babystrollers and seniors enjoyingmilder temperatures.But when contemplating theinnocent joys and pleasures of astroll around town, there’s a threatthat strikes fear into the heart ofthe most seasoned New Yorker:the Pooper-trator. For those unfamiliarwith the term, “Poopertrator”refers to that inconsideratebreed that doesn’t bother toclean up after their dogs.We all know their M.O. Theywalk their dog, and when the poochgets the ‘call of nature,’ they standby trying to look casual — all thewhile carefully looking left andright, checking for possible witnesses.Even before their dog hasfinished its business, it’s apparentthey’ve decided not to bother toclean up, not caring if they turnstreets, sidewalks and parklandinto minefields where every stepcarries a potentially unpleasantsurprise.Pooper-trators are the city’sultimate party poopers who canruin a perfectly fine day and apair of shoes!I’m proud to say we’ve madeNew York City the cleanest it’sbeen in over three decades.However, no matter how muchour dedicated Sanitation Workersclean or merchants and residentssweep their sidewalks andpedestrians comply with Sanitationregulations, inconsideratedog walkers can spoil a cleanblock by their blatant disregardfor the law, turning their fellowNew Yorkers’ daily walks intoan obstacle course.With that in mind, last yearthe Sanitation Department redoubledits efforts and launchedan extensive citywide campaignto encourage New Yorkers tocomply with the “pooperscooper” law and pick up aftertheir dogs. This year, we are teamingup with the Parks and RecreationDepartment in launching acoordinated ‘spring offensive’aimed at catching pooper-tratorsand giving them $250 violationsfor their dirty deeds.The “Pooper Scooper” law,officially known as Section 1310of the New York State PublicHealth Code - became law inNew York City on August 1,1978. With its enactment, the BigApple became the first majorAmerican city requiring dogwalkers to be responsible for pickingup and disposing of their dog’swaste. Many other cities acrossthe country - and around the globe- have followed suit with similar‘pooper scooper’ laws.(Here, enforcement agents forthe Departments of Sanitation andParks and Recreation are authorizedto issue canine waste violations.With an increase in the sizeand scope of our specificallytrained Canine Enforcement TaskForce, in fiscal year 2008, ouragents issued more than 900 noticesof violation.In addition, our ongoing outreachprogram urges New Yorkersto pick up after their dogsand educates them about thefact that canine waste is notonly an unsightly nuisance, butit can also pose health hazardswhen it’s not cleaned up.The bottom line is thatwhether scofflaws choose to acknowledgeit or not failure toclean up after your dog is a violationof a State law and it carriesa newly increased fine of $250.To report issues of caninewaste in your area, call 311. We’llsend our Canine EnforcementAgents there to try to catch thesecareless pooper-trators in the act!It’s time for all responsibledog walkers to clean up aftertheir pets, and for all New Yorkersto reclaim their streets, sidewalksand parkland and thesimple pleasure of long walkswith no unpleasant surprisesalong the way, and most particularly,under foot!CB 2 Sponsors Clothing/Toy DriveCommunity Board 2 is sponsoring a clothing and toy drive thisspring/summer for needy children in our district.Spring/summer clothing for male and female ranging frominfants to teenagers up to 18 years of age are needed.

IRAs do not have rates. Only theunderlying investments within an IRA may have rates. Based on corporatebond yields to maturity effective 04/14/2009, subject to availability andprice change. Yield and market value may fluctuate if sold prior tomaturity, and the amount received from the sale of these securities may beless than the amount originally invested.

Any bonds called priorto maturity would result in reinvestment risk for the bond owner.www.edwardjones.com Member SIPCMillions of Americans invest inIndividual Retirement Accounts(IRAs) - and with good reason. AnIRA is a great way to save for retirement,and it’s available to anyonewith earned income. Yet, many peopledon’t fully fund their IRAs each year.That could be a costly mistake - so dowhatever you can to avoid it.Before we get to the fundingissue, let’s examine the key benefitsof an IRA:Tax advantages - When you investin a traditional IRA, your earningscan potentially grow on a taxdeferredbasis, which means yourmoney can grow faster than if it wereplaced in an investment on whichyou pay taxes every year. And dependingon your income level, someof your contributions may be taxdeductible. If you have a Roth IRA,your contributions aren’t deductible,but your earnings can potentiallygrow totally tax-free, providedyou’ve had your account for at leastfive years and you don’t start takingwithdrawals until you reach 59-1/2.Wide choice of investments -You can fund your traditional orRoth IRA with just about any investmentvehicle available, includingstocks, bonds, certificates of depositand Treasury bills. You can evenchoose an investment mix that reflectsyour long-term goals, risk toleranceand time horizon.Clearly, it’s a smart move tocontribute the full amount to yourIRA every year. So, why don’tmore people do it?One reason is that many investorsmay become intimidated bythe IRA’s contribution limits. Youcan invest up to $5,000 to yourIRA for 2008 and 2009, or $6,000if you’re 50 or older.These limits can look imposing,especially if you think you have topay the money all at once - and payit around tax time. Of course, if youcan afford to fund your IRA all atonce, it may be to your advantage todo so, because the earlier in the yearyou have your IRA funded, the moretime it has to potentially grow. Butif you can’t write a check for $5,000in January, why not divide theamount into 12 monthly paymentsof $416.00? That amount may alsopose a challenge to your monthlycash flow, but it’s probably far moremanageable than writing that bigone-time check.Making regular investments intoyour IRA may also offer “strategic”advantages. While your monthlypayments can’t guarantee a profit orprotect against a loss in a decliningmarket, they may be able to helpyou overcome some of the volatilityof the financial markets. How? Supposeyour $416.00 monthly IRAinvestment goes to buy stocks. Whenstock prices are low, that $416.00will buy more shares, and whenprices are high, it will buy fewershares. Be sure that you consideryour ability to continue investingthrough periods of low price levels.If you haven’t fully funded yourIRA for 2008, you’ve got until thetax-filing deadline, which is April15, 2009. After that, if you’ve got themoney to fund your IRA for 2009, doit as soon as you can, or do it throughoutthe year. Just get it done. Someday,you may be glad you did.Courtesy of Vincent Renda, yourEdward Jones financial advisor locatedat 47-01 Queens Blvd. Suite203 Sunnyside NY 11104.COMMUNITY CALENDARMay Events8 Livable Neighborhoods Prrogram Training Registration Deadline9 6:00 PM-Oliver Twist!

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2009 THE WOODSIDE HERALD PAGE 7REAL ESTATE FACTSby RITA LOWRYWELCOME HOMEREAL ESTATEThe Difference BetweenSelling and DwellingThere is a special mindset associated with “staging” your hometo sell in a soft market. Staging refers simply to the act of improvingyour home’s appearance in order to appeal to the widest segment ofpotential buyers. The approach you must adopt is to see your homewith an objective eye.Stop looking at your home as your “home,” and start visualizingit as the “product” it becomes when it enters the market. Both a realestate agent and a professional home stager can help to market yourproduct successfully by highlighting positive features anddownplaying less attractive aspects.Since you may have a strong emotional attachment to your home,you may not fully appreciate hearing about a better way to show youroffering, but try to recognize that the way you decorate to SELL may bequite different from the way you decorate to dwell. The appearance of aspace often trumps its functionality when impressing buyers.Your goal is to sell quickly at a fair price. A survey by a largenational real estate brokerage showed that staged homes sell in halfthe time, and another survey of Realtors showed that a $500 “staging”investment recouped 343% of that cost. So be prepared to swallowa little pride, move some furniture, and field better offers on theroad to your successful sale.Pet of the WeekSubmit a picture of your pet and you just might see it inthe Woodside Herald!Submit photos toSherilynSabba@WoodsideHerald.comOr mail them to ....The Woodside Herald13-05 44th Ave.Long Island City, N.Y. 11101Mailed photos cannot be returnedThis weeks pet is.......Spike Lee and Noodles taking it easy on a Sunday afternoon posingfor owner Dorothy Augustine of Woodside.CELTIC PARK1 BROPEN HOUSE48-50 44th St. Apt 1BSaturday 5/9, 2-4pmExceptional renovation,beautiful materials,new hwfs, soundproofceilings, many extras,must see! $249KWELCOME HOMERE 718-706-0957ONLY 1PERFORMANCELEFT - THISSATURDAY!“Oliver! by Lionel Bart” isproduced by St. Mary’s DramaGuild by special arrangement withthe Tams-Whitmark Theatre Library.Lionel Bart’s Oliver isbased on the classic novel OliverTwist! by Charles Dicken’s.Oliver Twist is an innocentchild living in a world where theonly place he fits in is a workhouse,a den of thieves or prison.From this grim setting, a fairytale emerges.

IRVING ROVIN, OPTOMETRISTDetached RetinaA Serious ProblemOne of the more serious eye problems is a detached retina. A delicatestructure located at the back of the eye, the retina is responsiblefor sending visual images to the brain. The retina also makes it possiblefor you to see colors and to see well in different levels of light.A detached or torn retina can result from a blow to the eye, a cystor tumor, or a hemorrhage. It can also be caused by infection orsome other diseases of the eye. It does not cause pain, but it doesresult in other symptoms, such as visual loss, or spots before theeyes and light flashes. These last two symptoms can have many othercauses, most of which are not serious.Your best protection of your ability to see well and avoid seriouseye problems is to have regular eye examinations. The earlier a problemis discovered, the better the chances are for treating it successfully.WE NEED YOUR HELP10,000 unwanted animals are put to death each year notes theAmerican Rescue Society.
