28 THE COURIER SUN • JULY 9, 2015 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com KATZ CONCERT Photo via queensbp.org/katzconcerts The Queens Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to educating families and individuals of all ages about the universal value and necessity of orchestral music through live performance, educational programs and access to free instruments and instruction. They bring the best in classical concerts as well as educational programming, chorale concerts, operas-in-concert, and world premiere pieces performed by the nation’s best musicians and accessible to all. Founded in 1953 by David Katz (the late father of Borough President Melinda Katz) and incorporated a year later as a non-profit organization. Maestro Katz had been diligently working with Queens-based instrumentalists for years prior to its incorporation, rehearsing in the basement of his Forest Hills home and performing a series of chamber concerts for the community free of charge. At this time, QSO was affiliated with the American Symphony Orchestra League and Forest Hills Community Center. Katz hoped that his passion would eventually allow Queens residents to experience classical music without crossing a bridge or tunnel into Manhattan. His mission for QSO was to make a lasting contribution to the cultural advancement and prestige of the community, including the youth. By QSO’s second season, children’s concerts were added to the schedule. By the 1970s, the Music BAG Program (Music for Boys and Girls) was reaching over 17,000 school children annually throughout Queens. Also in the 1970s, the QSO musicians joined the union and became a professional orchestra. It remains the only professional orchestra in Queens to this day. Borough President Melinda Katz announced on July 6 a series of free concerts that will be held in parks around Queens during July and August.

Advertorial Legally Speaking By: Scott Baron, Attorney at Law FOR TWENTY DOLLARS Q: In the dusk of the evening, I was driving on a highway. Abruptly, the car immediately ahead of me shifted into the right-hand lane. As I started to apply the brakes, I saw a car stopped in the center lane, dead ahead of me. Unable to pull over in time to avoid a collision, I rear-ended the disabled car. The driver of the disabled car has said that, just before his car slid to a standstill, he observed pieces of his car’s transmission rolling down the road. Just after the accident, the driver saw that his front right wheel was sideways. The driveshaft linking this wheel to the transmission was disconnected, dangling from the undercarriage. Two months before the accident, a mechanic had performed the required annual state motor-vehicle inspection. The inspector had issued the certificate stating that the car was in proper and safe working condition. Can I sue the inspector? A: Please take a look at the DMV’s Inspection Groups and Fee Chart (Form VS- 77), effective on January 1, 2011. The fee for a safety inspection is no more than twenty dollars, often less. Bearing this in mind, our courts have not been willing to impose liability. Otherwise, the modest revenue from an inspection would be prohibitively outweighed by the liability insurance premiums that a station would need to pay. But perhaps there was more to the mechanic’s work than a mere inspection, and more than twenty dollars changed hands. Take this case to an attorney. As with any case, the right facts can make or break it. The law responds to changed conditions; exceptions and variations abound. Here, the information is general; always seek out competent counsel.
