15 • TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2014 MTA Urged To Expand So. Queens Bus Svce. Say Neighborhood Commutes Are Too Long thousands of people on our beaches and our streets,” said Phil McManus, transportation advocate of the Queens Public Transit Committee. “It’s bad business when getting to Rockaway gets too unbearable. We will lose revenue and reputation. The MTA needs to listen to the people.” “Worrying about an overcrowded bus passing you by shouldn’t be a concern on your daily commute,” Goldfeder concluded. “I hope the MTA will listen to the concerns of our community and work to make improvements to increase bus service and ease commute times for our families and visitors.” In an effort to ease the commute time for daily travelers and reduce traffic congestion during peak summer months, Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder has sent a letter to the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to provide additional bus service and more frequent limited-stop connections to the A train at rush hours. “The Rockaways are already limited when it comes to transportation and during the summer months thousands of commuters from all over the city are coming down to utilize our beaches,” said Goldfeder. “I strongly urge the MTA to help reduce the often long and congested routes to and from our beaches.” In his letter to the MTA, Goldfeder stated increasing Q52, Q53 and Q22 service would effectively minimize congestion and pollution that is often left behind by commuters idling for lengthy periods of time. “We absolutely need more services to Rockaway and Broad Channel. This is prime time for our beaches, bay, parks, stores, bars, restaurants and our streets. I see Motorcyclist Killed In Far Rock. Crash South Ozone Pk. Man Hit Phone Pole by Robert Pozarycki While riding his motorcycle, a South Ozone Park man fatally crashed into a utility pole on a Far Rockaway street last Friday, July 4, law enforcement sources reported. He was identified by police as Marcus J. Joel, 26, of 117th Street. The deadly crash reportedly occurred at 6:08 p.m. last Friday at the corner of Seagirt Boulevard and Beach 13th Street. According to information obtained by police, Joel was riding a 1999 Kawasaki motorcycle eastbound on Seagirt Boulevard when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle, which struck a curb on the south side of the roadway. Seconds later, law enforcement sources said, the cycle struck a wooden utility pole, throwing Joel from his ride. Officers from the 101st Precinct and EMS units rushed to the scene. Paramedics brought the victim, who suffered severe body trauma, to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. No other vehicles were involved, and no other injuries related to the crash were reported, authorities noted. An inquiry by the NYPD Collision Investigation Squad is ongoing, police said. Convicted Child Molester Admits To Kid Porn Stash Faces More Jail Time For Dirty Downloads such, the sentence to be meted out by the court is more than warranted.” According to the charges, police executed a court-authorized search warrant at Medina’s apartment at approximately 7 p.m. on Aug. 28, 2013, and recovered his laptop computer, various external storage media and a cell phone. A forensic preview on the laptop led to the recovery of 14 videos of children—approximately six to 12 years in age—depicted in a sexual manner or performing sexual acts. The videos were downloaded onto the laptop between 12:35 p.m. and 1:05 p.m. on Aug. 28, 2013, using peer-to-peer networks, whereby computer users may directly connect to each other via the Internet in order to exchange files with each other. It A convicted sex offender who was arrested last August for sharing files of child sexual abuse on a peer-to-peer computer network has pleaded guilty to promoting child pornography and related charges. Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown identified the defendant as Eduardo Medina, 35, of 196th Street in Hollis, who appeared last Tuesday, July 2, before Acting Queens Supreme Court Justice Barry Kron and pled guilty to Penal Law 263.15 (promoting a sexual performance by a child) and a violation of state Correction Law 168-f and t (failure to report his Internet service provider to the state). Medina, who has been in jail in lieu of $500,000 bail since his indictment in September 2013, is scheduled to be sentenced on July 18, 2014, to between 3 1/2 and seven years in prison on the penal law charge and a concurrent one year prison term on the correction law charge. “In pleading guilty, the defendant has admitted to sharing through his computer disturbing videos of young children being sexually abused,” said Brown. “It is important for the public to remember that these images are, for all intents and purposes, crime scene photos as they depict real children being cruelly victimized both physically and emotionally and who will have to carry the painful memory of that which occurred to them for the rest of their lives.
