The Belle Harbor Manor on
Beach 125th Street, which still
has a faded sign on its outside
wall: Luxury Living for Seniors
is now home to a convicted,
registered
sex
offender.
According to the Division of
Criminal Justice Services, the
man was convicted of Sexual
Abuse of an 11-year-old girl.
The Rockaway Times stopped
in to inquire but the front desk
staff seemed unaware of the
new resident. We also called
Michael Friedman, the Belle
Harbor Manor Administrator,
but he did not return the call.
The Belle Harbor Manor can be

The Rockaway Times has received plenty of emails, comments and letters about the Stop
and Shop shopping center towing situation.
To recap, in the past few
months complaints about cars
being aggressively towed out of
the lot at 112-15 Beach Channel
Drive have risen dramatically.
So has community outrage, petitions, calls for store boycotts and
action from local elected officials
and yes, calls and emails to the
Rockaway Times.
A spokesman for Stop and
Shop stated they would be reviewing their contract, with B&M
Towing in Arverne, and would be
looking to make changes.
In the midst of all this, many
people are asking, What exactly are the rules, regulations and
laws which govern towing in
New York City?

Dear Editor:
(A letter to columnist KamiLeigh), I am writing to commend you and The Rockaway
Times on your gutsy, touching,
and enlightening column "Life
With Our 'Artistic' Child."
When I was a younger mother, facing the daunting untrodden territory of raising my
oldest child (also diagnosed
with PDD-NOS, and now 18
years old!), I would have given anything to have seen the
struggles, joys, anxieties, advocacy efforts, and extraordinary blessings experienced

Cups of Hope
By Lou Pastina
Page 19
pray. Because prayer works,
and like faith, you know you
have it, when its the only
thing you have left.
And I also decided that
prayer is done best with others, and said out loud. And
that the simple repetition of
a prayer is in itself a meditative process that is similar to
a mantra. Probably closer to
what it was originally intended
to be.
I am also thinking about my
own two cups, and what affirmations I need to make. I want
my cups to be cups of hope, of
love, of a promise to be there.
Of course if a little Scotch finds
its way into my cup, thats ok
too.
This week we watched with
trepidation as Hurricane Matthew ravaged Haiti and tore up
the southern coast of the USA,
and it reminded us all of Sandy
and that helpless feeling we
had the many days after. So our
prayers go out to those devastated by the recent storm. And
we set our cups out at night in
an affirmation of hope, and
perhaps a bit of Scotch as well.

Clowning Around
End Avenue. Before the young
officer who had received the call
could dispatch a patrol unit, the
older and wiser Desk Sergeant
pulled him aside and inquired,
"Does that address appear familiar to you?" The younger officer
replied that it did not. "That's
Gracie Mansion up at Carl Schurz
Park and the scary clowns they are
talking about is the Mayor and his
Build it Back team!" The young officer was somewhat embarrassed
and asked his Sergeant what he
should do. The Sergeant simply
replied, "Be thankful you don't live
in Broad Channel or Rockaway!"
This Saturday, October 15,
the Broad Channel VFW will be
hosting a Friend in Need fundraiser starting at 7 pm. Walker
and Friends will be on hand to
rock the VFW hall into the wee
hours as only they can and, of
course, there will be plenty of
raffles and 50/50's. Needless to
say, refreshments will be available. A $10 dollar donation at the
door will be greatly appreciated.
Mark your calendars and be sure
to come on down for an evening
of great music and fun. It's for a
Page 21
good cause and I can guarantee
all of you there will be no scary
clowns present at the party!
I finally obtained a copy of
Dan Guarino's new book, "Broad
Channel Through Time", and
spent several enjoyable hours last
Saturday afternoon curled up on
the couch reading it. The juxtaposition of historical site photographs of our town alongside current ones affords the reader a true
sense of the history of our community here in Broad Channel
that is just plain unavailable anywhere else. If you enjoyed "Images of America: Broad Channel" by
Dan and his wife Liz, which was
published back in 2008, you are
in for a real treat with his current
book. Dan will be at this weekend's (Sunday, October 16) Broad
Channel Historical Day exhibition
from 1 to 4 pm at the VFW. Be
sure to stop by and pick a copy up
for yourself and your family - it's a
keeper! Hint, if you were a good
Romper Room Do Bee back in the
day, Dan will even sign the book
for you!
Broad Channel, why would anyone want to live anywhere else?
