Taking a Stand Against Crime: Commissioner Hernandez with Deputy Inspector Thomas Pelkington and Community Council President Donna Pagano-Cohen and several community leaders, including New York State Senator John Sabini and New York City Council Member Helen Sears. National Night Out Against Crime On Tuesday, August 7th, Commissioner Neil Hernandez attended two events commemorating National Night Out Against Crime on behalf of Mayor Mike Bloomberg. At Hoffman Park in Elmhurst, Queens, the Commissioner presented the NYPD's 110th Precinct Commanding Officer, Deputy Inspector, Thomas Pelkington and Community Council President Donna Pagano Cohen with a Mayoral Proclamation. Later that evening, at MacDonald Park in Forest Hills, Queens, the Commissioner presented a Proclamation to the 112th Precinct Commanding Officer, Captain, Richard Napolitano and Community Council President Heidi Chain. President Chain presented the Commissioner with a Certificate of Participation, which he accepted on behalf of DJJ's dedicated staff who work to protect public safety while redirecting detained youth towards more positive choices. Andre Mullings, Executive Assistant to the Commissioner noted, "The events were an opportunity to recognize the collaborative relationship between the police and the community, which has contributed to making our neighborhoods safer." “National Night Out Against Crime provides an opportunity for all New Yorkers to recognize the enormous contributions and sacrifices made by those who dedicate their lives to protecting each and every one of us, as well as providing an opportunity to take a definitive stand against crime and violence in our communities,” Director of Public Affairs Scott Trent said. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦.

Paterson and Members of the New York State Legislature As I present this annual report for 2008 on behalf of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Board of Directors, having just been installed as Chairman in the past month, I wish to reflect on the profound loss the New York racing community experienced in October 2008 with the passing of Lorraine Power Tharp, who so ably served the Fund as its Chairwoman. Her dedication to the Fund was consistent with her lifetime of tireless commitment to a variety of civic and professional organizations here in New York. She will long be remembered not only as a role model for women involved in the practice of law but also as a forceful advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.

Legislative Turnover Due to Ethical/Criminal Issues
CITIZENS UNION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK TURNOVER IN THE NYS LEGISLATURE DUE TO ETHICAL OR CRIMINAL ISSUES, 1999 to 2015 January 22, 2015 Citizens Union in 2009 and 2011 released groundbreaking reports on turnover in the state legislature, finding that legislators are more likely to leave office due to ethical or criminal issues than to die in office, or be redistricted out of their seats.i Given corruption scandals continually breaking in Albany, Citizens Union provides on the following pages an updated list of all legislators who have left to date due to ethical or criminal misconduct. Since 2000, 28 state legislators have left office due to criminal or ethical issues and 4 more have been indicted, for a total of 32 legislators who have abused the public trust since 2000. Most recently in January in 2015, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was charged with five federal counts of theft of honest services, wire fraud, mail fraud and extortion related to his receiving $4 million in referral fees due to improper use of his public position. The four legislators currently under indictment are: Senator Tom Libous, Senator John Sampson, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Assemblymember William Scarborough. In the 2013-2014 session alone, 8 legislators left office. Four legislators resigned in 2014: Assemblymembers Gabriela Rosa, William Boyland Jr., Dennis Gabryszak and Eric Stevenson. Two more left during the election season in 2014: Senator Malcolm Smith, after his indictment, lost the Primary Election in 2014, and Assemblymember Micah Kellner did not seeking re-election due to a sexual harassment scandal.

Neighbor to Neighbor: Queens Civic Congress Holds Annual Luncheon by Barbara Morris 04/17/2008
http://www.timesledger.com/site/news.cfm? newsid=19493853&BRD=2676&PAG=461&dept_id=542860&rfi=6 Neighbor to Neighbor: Queens Civic Congress holds annual luncheon By Barbara Morris 04/17/2008 April is a special month. Spring continues filling our areas with beautiful flowers and trees, breathing new life into the air. Heaven and earth seem trying to be in accord, and we mortals are likewise trying to do our part. On Friday, April 4, New York state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-St. Albans) invited a large part of his constituency to join him for a fund-raiser at Antun's in Queens Village. It was huge and successful. On April 6, it was back to Antun's to help celebrate the Sixth Biennial Luncheon of the Queens Civic Congress, sponsored by the Queens Civic Congress Foundation. The attendance was overwhelming. There were terrific, hard-working folks everywhere, giving of themselves without recompense or, sometimes, recognition. Many of these good folk were friends we don't often see. Applause to each officer of the Queens Civic Congress: President Corey Bearak; Executive Vice President Patricia Dolan; Vice Presidents Tyler Cassell, Richard Hellenbrecht, Paul Kerzner, David Kulick, Barbara Larkin, Audrey Lucas, Kathy Masi, Nagassar Ramgarib, Harbachan Singh, Edwin Westley and Dorothy Woo; Secretary Seymour Schwartz; Treasurer James Trent; and co-founders Albert Greenblatt and Robert Harris. Particular thanks to the Luncheon Committee: Chair James Trent (who always does a super job) with arrangements by Bearak (who always has a twinkle in his eye), Kerzner (who also led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the fourth verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner") and Queens Civic President Emeritus Sean Walsh (regarded highly for his long service to Queens and as president of the congress).
