TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 2014 • 60 Ramones Song To Help Tourism In Rockaway Beach 116th Street in the Rockaways. “Citi is proud to support the ongoing recovery of Rockaway Bushwick Open Studios Focuses On Local Artists aspects.” Many studios were both working spaces for artists and their living quarters. Some presented their own work, that of friends or colleagues, and invited guests into their private spaces to share a drink or some snacks while enjoying the curated walls. Other evens included a thrift disco, where a thrift shop rents space in a former warehouse , surrounded by local art. L ocal galleries and businesses are participating of course, but also some that have no traditional connection to the arts, like Chicos laundromat, on Flushing Avenue, which hosted “English Kills” Henry G. Sanchez's second video screening about Buhwick’s relationship to the former estuary at the southern end of Newtown Creek. Other neighborhood events were a community day organized at Maria hernandez Park on Saturday with face painting, performances, yoga and jewelry making. The Arts in Bushwick community project team worked with local businesses to prepare the program of event, Katz said. -CONTINUED FROM PG. 21- City Historic Group Honors Forest Hills Preservationist historic freestanding diners.

People like Serf are few and far between.” Maltese and his wife, Constance, joined Addabbo in Albany, where he was officially selected to join the Senate Hall of Fame. A Corona native, Maltese enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps when he was 17 years old. When the Korean War began, he volunteered for the U.S. Army and served as Corporal in the 45th Infantry Division in Korea. He then went on to attend Manhattan College on a Regents Scholarship and GI Bill and Fordham University where he earned his LL.B and J.D. degrees. Maltese was elected to the State Senate in 1988 and was re-elected for the 10 following terms. As the years went on, he was honored by various local and national veterans group and is a Life Member of the American Legion, Catholic War Veterans, Korean War Veterans Association and the Veterans of Foreign Affairs. In 1990, he was the prime sponsor of legislation that authorized the creation of the 250- bed State Veterans Nursing Home at St. Albans, and has been an active sponsor and guardian of the home ever since. Maltese—currently chairperson of Christ the King Regional High School’s board of trustees—lost his bid for an 11th term to Addabbo in the 2008 election. “Serf has been rightfully recognized for his service both in and out of the armed forces before, and now I’m happy to see him back in Albany,” Addabbo said. “It’s always hard to pick just one person from the district, but it’s only fitting Serf join the other Hall of Fame vets who sacrificed so much.” -CONTINUED FROM PG. 29-
