News From The Queens Tourism Council -CONTINUED FROM PG. 20- Fundraiser For Discarded Dog -CONTINUED FROM PG. 19- stated. “The cost for this dog has been quite high,” he said. The event was hosted by Neir’s owner, firefighter Loycent Gordon, and K9 Korral President Charlotte Butler, according to Project Woodhaven’s twitter feed. The rottweiler was originally found by a firefighter Gordon knows, and though her prognosis remains unclear, if she recovers he plans on adopting her, Wendell said. He hopes donations from the event will raise awareness of animal mistreatment and cover her medical bills, he said. “This touches your heart,” he said. “Animals and children, at any time of the year, but especially at this time need to be supported. Animals don’t have a voice.” The event and rescue not only raise awareness, but sends a clear message that “this behavior is not acceptable in Queens,” he added. Reportedly, Dasher has already been treated with oxygen therapy, heat support, IV fluids and anti-seizure medication. She was given full-body X-rays as well, it was noted. Police are conducting an ongoing investigating into the incident, according to published reports. Those interested in donating to Dasher’s medical care can contribute by calling Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners at (718) 263- 0099. 55 • TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2014 Social Security News you or anyone you know has been the victim of an identity thief, contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.idtheft.gov, or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438- 4338); TTY 1-866-653-4261.

Finally, 44 days after their disappearance, federal investigators found their bodies buried 15 feet below an earthen dam. Price and six fellow klansmen were prosecuted and convicted on federal civil rights charges, but not for the three homicides. It would take more than 40 years before the freedom riders’ killer—identified as Edgar Ray Killen, also a klansman—was brought to justice. He was convicted in June 2005 on manslaughter charges. Queens College remembers Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner, along with others who participated in the civil rights movement, through its Civil Rights Archives. The resource includes photographs, letters, phone logs and other materials offering a first-hand knowledge of the movement and its significance in American history.
