The anti-graffiti program receives discretionary funding from City Council Members Elizabeth Crowley and Antonio Reynoso. Unfortunately, this funding does not cover the entire cost of running the program, and the GRRC relies on contributions from businesses and community minded residents to make up the difference. Every year, the cost of running the program increases, whether it is the cost of fuel, insurance or supplies. Contributions may be sent via PayPal on the GRRC website, www.ridgewoodrestoration.org, or by mail to 68-56 Forest Avenue, Ridgewood, NY 11385. For more information call 1-718- 366-8721. -CONTINUED FROM PG. 17- “The high nitrogen loading has long been a cause of water quality problems,” Daniel Mundy of the Jamaica Bay Eco- Watchers said. “We are extremely pleased to report that we are already noticing significant reductions in harmful algae blooms and increases in dissolved oxygen and water clarity due to the activation of this new technology.” This work is being funded by the DEP and is the result of an agreement between DEP and the Office of the New York State Attorney General, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. -CONTINUED FROM PG. 17- possession of a weapon, by P.O.
