22 •• QueensQueens Daily EagleEagle • • Monday, Thursday, September August 6, 28,2020 2020 2 • Queens Daily Eagle • Thursday, February 13, 2020 NYC souvenir sellers getting squeezed by tourism crunch By Carson Kessler THE CITY There are far more yellow taxi cabs in Albert Tutus’ souvenir shop than on the street outside of it. Inside Memories of New York, his Fifth Ave- nue store, hundreds of “I Love New York” t-shirts and sweatshirts line the walls. Times Square is frozen inside glittery snow globes. And tiny Lady Liberties sit atop a dusty counter that has seen bus- ier days. In over 30 years of business, 75-year-old Tu- tus has never experienced a lull quite like this. “I just wait for customers all day,” he said. Unlike many of the neighboring tour- ist-geared shops in Midtown, Memories of New York remains open. Tutus sits mostly alone for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, hoping a few cus- tomers might stumble into his shop. “Everyone knows it’s just dead slow. Dead,” he said. “Honest to God, nothing.” Officials had been expecting a record 67 mil- lion visitors in 2020, until the abrupt citywide shutdown in March. Very few tourists means no one to buy the thousands of keepsakes that memo- rialize New York — and souvenir hawkers across the city are feeling the squeeze. ‘It’s My Baby’ Increasing business last year spurred what turned out to be an ill-timed expansion for China- town souvenir shop owner Rehan Mamud. During the first week of March, the 27-year- old Queens resident purchased the neighboring empty storefront, broke through the adjoining wall and doubled the size of his gift shop on Mott Street. Then COVID-19 hit. After the remodeling, Mamud closed his store Merchandise on sale at Grand Slam New York in Times Square Photo by Alejandro Duran/THE CITY on March 13 and flew back to his native Bangla- desh for four months. afternoon. “I said, ‘What, are you guys crazy? My “It’s very bad luck for me, you know, I can do store is closing!’” nothing because I spent a lot of money for break- ing this wall and fixing all the things,” he said. ‘Things Happen’ “It’s very hard for me right now to survive.” Asked about the plight of souvenir shops, a Since arriving in the U.S. eight years ago, spokesperson for NYC & Company, the city’s souvenir shops have been a large part of Mamud’s tourism arm, pointed to the “All In NYC: Neigh- American experience.

NY Gifts’ only customers are “those that come from the mosque [across the street] or some- one who buys something small for under $10,” he added. “Last year, everyone was coming here. Lots of customers. And now, nothing.” The cost of simply keeping the lights on is “too much.” According to Alex, August’s electric- ity bill was $1,500. In his own attempt to offset the cost of elec- tricity at his Chinatown store, Mamud keeps his shop closed most of the day. “If I open the whole day, it’s a lot of money and I have to pay bills,” he said. Instead, Mamud opens in the late afternoon until around midnight, hoping his products might catch the eye of dining tourists or the occasion- al New Yorker who wants to help out by buying a keychain or magnet. On one recent day, Mamud made $155 — that’s a $0 profit. “I’m working for my business,” he said. “Nothing for myself. Just keep trying to save my business.” Similarly, Tutus is also facing sky-high elec- tricity bills. “Son of a gun!

Monday, September 28, 2020 • BQ Daily Eagle • 3 G uest Editorial Opinions G uest Editorial Opinions The Civil War drove medical innovation, and COVID-19 pandemic could, too By Jeffrey Clemens The Conversation The current COVID-19 pandemic, the larg- est public health crisis in a century, threatens the health of people across the globe. The U.S. has had the most diagnosed cases – surpassing 6 mil- lion – and more than 180,000 deaths. But six months into the pandemic, the U.S. still faces shortages of personal protective equip- ment for both front-line medical workers and the general public. There is also great need for widely available inexpensive, rapid tests; the infrastruc- ture to administer them; and most importantly, safe, effective vaccines. Moving forward, medical innovation can play a substantial role in controlling and preventing in- fection – and treating those who have contracted the virus. But what’s the best way to catalyze and ac- celerate public health developments? Research and history show that the federal government can play a major role in spurring private-sector innovation. Lessons from the Civil War Governments play far-reaching roles in health care. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ap- proves new treatments. Public and private insur- ance administrators determine what treatments to cover. The Medicare program sets prices that have effects across the health care system. By de- termining if and when competitors can enter the market, the U.S. patent system shapes pharmaceu- tical prices, which impacts companies’ financial returns.

California has said it will stop processing new applications for two weeks as it seeks to reduce backlogs and stop phony claims. Pennsylvania has found that up to 10,000 inmates improperly ap- plied for aid. The biggest threat is posed by sophisticated international fraud rings that often use stolen iden- tities to apply for benefits, filling out the forms with a wealth of accurate information that enables their applications to “sail through the system,” said Michele Evermore, an expert on jobless aid at Passersby walk past a business storefront with store closing and sale signs, Wednesday, Sept. 2, in Dedham, Mass. the National Employment Law Project.

6 • SECOND DEPARTMENT/Brooklyn/Daily Eagle • Monday, September 28, 2020 SSPORTS Games go on, but many traditions on hold in college football By Eric Olson Associated Press To the delight of fans young and old, an En- glish bulldog named Uga has been stationed on the sideline at all but one Georgia home football game since 1956. Charles Seiler, whose family has bred and cared for each of the Ugas all these years, said lots of people have told him they enjoy seeing the dog, adorned in his jersey with the big “G” on front, as much as the games themselves. Thousands of fans have their pictures taken with him. “He’s so approachable,” Seiler said. “But in this day and age, because of what’s going on, it’s not good to approach.” Georgia cheerleaders pose with the school mascot “Uga” before the Sugar Bowl NCAA college football game against Baylor in New Or- Uga X won’t be on hand for any games this leans, Wednesday, Jan. 1.

10 • Queens Daily Eagle • Monday, September 28, 2020 Too small for solar, Rikers Island could become New York City's renewable energy storage site By Rachel Vick Queens Daily Eagle A plan to transform Rikers Island into a re- newable energy powerhouse would focus on the relatively small island’s capacity for storing pow- er to send to the electrical grid when demand ris- es, according to a panel of policy experts and New York City officials. A “Renewable Rikers” proposal championed by local environmental advocates would turn the plot of land into an energy storage site after a still-contentious city plan to close the island’s jails is complete. After a land use proposal to build four new jails passed in the Council last year, the city introduced a proposal to ban jails from Rikers Is- land forever. Advocates and some lawmakers see this as an opportunity to develop Rikers’ capacity for gener- ating and storing renewable energy to wean New York City off fossil fuel-burning “peaker plants,” which pump carbon into the atmosphere as they reinforce the city’s energy grid. The island is too small to host enough solar panels to generate sufficient energy, but it is an appropriate size for a battery storage facility, said Rikers Island could become a renewable energy storage site, according to city officials and policy experts.
