At our meeting tonight Frank DiTomasso of DiTomasso Realty shared a wealth of information about the current state of our community from a real estate perspective. And it made us feel good to get an objective view of the neighborhood and its pluses and minuses. I will be sharing some of his insights with you over the upcoming days.
A nice crowd got to hear his overview.
We also heard about the numerous programs available at our local library from Jan Klucevsek of the New Dorp Branch ...
... as well as an update on our neighborhood from Community Affairs Police Office Kevin Medefendt.
Not to mention "Ann's Joke of the Month".
Yep ... you missed a good one.

Dining Through New Dorp at Nini's Cafe
We celebrated our 50th Dining Through New Dorp event last night at Nini's at 710 New Dorp Lane.
At our last meeting some of our members said we just had to try the Pork Chops with Vinegar and Peppers at Nini's.
So most all of us did.
... and they were terrific! Very tasty ... large portions ... wonderful sauce/ gravy ... truly a wonderful taste.
Just wanted to mention it.
A special thanks to Nini's for sharing their hospitality with us.

The End of Summer
Greetings ... well … the long summer is quickly winding down. And it has been an incredible summer. What have we seen? Temperatures rising to 106 degrees! An earthquake! A hurricane! Wow … if that isn’t an incredible mix of natural phenomena … what is?
And for me it has been an incredible summer. A personal note if I may. When I was younger I used to wonder why old people talked so much about grandkids. Heck … they were just little kids. Au contraire. Now I see what they were talking about. Having one of those little ones call you “grandpa” is quite an amazing event and I’ve been blessed to have that experience. But enough about me.
Our next meeting is Thursday September 15 at 8pm. ( Our newletter will say September 18 but that was because I was still looking at the August calendar. My Bad. )
There are many things we will need to talk about this year. The new ballfield at the foot of New Dorp Lane. Kohl’s – what is it’s status? … Sterling Avenue gets repaved. ( What is your new nomination for the worst street in New Dorp? I nominate the stretch of Ross Avenue between 10th and the railroad. It is quite painful. What is your suggestion? ) … Cedar Grove Beach / Park. How did it pan out over the summer? … What’s next as we talk about the water problems that our members face?
It’s been mentioned to me that New Dorp Lane is dirtier than ever. What do you think? Is it? It certainly has more vacant stores than we have seen in a long time.
And let’s talk about the Lane. Actually I would like us to begin a discussion about the future of New Dorp. What should New Dorp look like in 2020? Or 2030? What should the Lane look like? Hairdressers, tattoo parlors, pizza places, pet stores, restaurants and empty stores. What types of businesses can the Lane support? What type should it support? What do we need in our neighborhood? We have decried attempts to allow buildings which are higher … myself included. But in a future New Dorp … if you want more people to walk the Lane and shop in its stores … would it make more sense to allow some buildings full of apartments so there were shoppers around? I know we had a presentation earlier about a large structure for seniors and it met a lot of resistance … much of it warranted. But if we do not have higher density housing near public transportation then who will be the shoppers along the Lane? How do we keep our small town feel without limiting our possibilities.
I am not saying that we need to go in that direction. I am saying that we need to start thinking about these things and talking about these things and inviting speakers in who will help us understand the pluses and minuses of the various options we have.
There are few jobs for our young people on the island. There are few places for young people to gather. There are fewer places that our young people can afford to live in. They are leaving New Dorp. They are leaving the Island. Have we created an atmosphere that prevents them from establishing roots and growing in our community? What direction are we headed? Is there room for them in our vision of the future?
And the ways we communicate with each other. The newsletter ( I hope ) still has a place in our lives. However the handwriting is quite clear that the future will be electronic and found on a smartphone or tablet or some other device. Social networks move vast amounts of information faster than any telephone calling tree. Check out Facebook and how all our politicians and businesses have taken to using it. They know where the future is. We need to recognize that as well.
We have a Facebook page which is updated much too infrequently. I need to get much better at that. I am not exactly a Luddite but when it comes to Facebook I remain really basic. When it comes to Twitter I don’t tweet. However if we want to engage the young in our community then we need to embrace these technologies. No high school or college student is going to read our newsletter. They might … just might … check out our Facebook page. We need to move in that direction. They could have input … make suggestions … become an active part of our community and a participant in the ongoing dialogue.
Ok … let me get off my soapbox. (Kids … have your parents or grandparents explain that to you.)
As I’ve said in the past, we rely on your support to keep the Association going and involved in this community. Your support is vital both through your dues and donations. The support of various merchants and entrepreneurs helps to finance our newsletter. Let us know if you are aware of a business in our community that would like to be represented in our newsletter.
We will be sending out of membership renewals soon. Please support our efforts on your behalf.
Lastly, as I’ve mentioned and will continue to mention, I need you to sing aloud the need for civic involvement and invite your neighbors to join. The more voices the smoother and richer the sound. Thank you for your interest in our neighborhood. You live here. You know why it is a respected and desirable community. Be proud of it.
See you around the neighborhood.

May Meeting - Thursday May 19 at 8pm
Greetings ... Ok … we tried it one more time … the regular way … newsletter to printer … newsletter to Post Office … newsletters to you PRIOR to the meeting. How did it work this month? I got my newsletter on Tuesday. What about you?
It has been a full season for us as we have had a series of speakers to provide us with a broad range of things to consider. Councilman Jim Oddo held his Civic Roundtable at our February meeting … bringing together Community Leaders from across his district and providing us with an insight in the workings of the City and our budget challenges. In March our guest speaker was Michael Reiser who is the Recycling Outreach Coordinator for the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education with growNYC. Mr. Reiser talked to us about the Paper Challenge contest being conducted across the three Community Boards as well as other updates on our recycling efforts. Last month Randy Lee spoke to us on a proposal to develop a senior residence atop the Municipal Parking Lot on New Dorp Lane. It would be called the St.James Residence. The room was full of neighborhood residents and a sizeable representation from the Business Community in New Dorp.
Originally we were to be visited by Adena Long, the Borough Parks Commissioner, this month but due to a scheduling conflict we will need to wait until our June meeting before we can meet with her and learn of her vision for our neighborhood.
This month let’s revisit all the issues in our neighborhood … gather whatever updates we can … lay out the issues that we need to keep in the forefront as we go forward. We also will be putting together out nominations for elections next month as we prepare our organization to deal with the changing nature of our community.
We rely on your support to keep the Association going and involved in this community. Your support is vital both through your dues and donations. The support of various merchants and entrepreneurs helps to finance our newsletter. Let us know if you are aware of a business in our community that would like to be represented in our newsletter.
Lastly and as I’ve mentioned quite a bit lately, I need you to sing aloud the need for civic involvement and invite your neighbors to join. The more voices the smoother and richer the sound. Thank you for your interest in our neighborhood. You live here. You know why it is a respected and desirable community. Be proud of it.

Upcoming Meeting Thursday April 21
Greetings ... OK … I am going to keep this short and sweet. For three of the last four months our newsletter has not arrived on time to allow you to attend our meeting. Three out of four months. That is a pitiful performance. So I’m hoping for a much better result this month. Thursday the 21st will tell. We were honored last month by our guest speaker Michael Reiser who is the Recycling Outreach Coordinator for the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education with growNYC. Mr. Reiser talked to us about the Paper Challenge contest being conducted across the three Community Boards as well as other updates on our recycling efforts. Community Board 2 actually won $4 thou for the first quarter of 2011. ( I think we came in 2nd.) This month we will hear from Randy Lee on a proposal to develop a senior residence atop the Municipal Parking Lot on New Dorp Lane. It would be called the St.James Residence and … well come to the meeting and hear all about it. Present your questions. Get the answers you need. In May we will be visited by Adena Long, the Borough Parks Commissioner. Never forget that an important part of this dynamic is your feedback and participation. We need your comments, your concerns, your suggestions, your observations, your compliments, your complaints. It is your neighborhood. What is on your mind? Let us know at 718-979-6011, newdorpcentralcivic@yahoo.com or comment on the blog. Check us out at http://www.ndcca.blogspot.com for continuous updates.

Bring your questions and concerns. I hope to see you then. > Joe Markowski

Meeting Thursday Night March 17, 2011
Greetings ... with the snows behind us and heavy rains taking their place (and I’m sure most of us prefer the rain to the snow) we long for the warmer weather that Spring will bring to us … and hopefully soon.
We were honored last month by Council Member James Oddo who conducted his Civic Roundtable at our February meeting. The room was full as the Councilman updated us on the budget challenges facing the city and our need to begin confronting these realities. We were also honored by the presence of the Civic Leaders of the various associations throughout his district. (Check out our blog. I will be posting some excellent photos from the meeting … photos taken by AJ Basile of the Councilman’s staff).
This month our guest speaker will be Michael Reiser who is the Recycling Outreach Coordinator for the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education with growNYC. Mr. Reiser will talk to us about the Paper Challenge contest being conducted across the three Community Boards as well as other updates on our recycling efforts. Our meeting will revert back to its regular starting time of 8pm. Plan now on attending. And did I mention … bring a neighbor?
In April we will hear from Randy Lee on a proposal to develop a senior residence atop the Municipal Parking Lot on New Dorp Lane.
In May we will be visited by Adena Long, the Borough Parks Commissioner.
We have a busy year ahead of us. Never forget that an important part of this dynamic is your feedback and participation. We need your comments, your concerns, your suggestions, your observations, your compliments, your complaints. It is your neighborhood. What is on your mind? Let us know at 718-979-6011, newdorpcentralcivic@yahoo.com or comment on the blog. Check us out at http://www.ndcca.blogspot.com for continuous updates.
Our dues notices for the 2011 year have been mailed. We rely on your support to keep the Association going and involved in this community. Your support is vital both through your dues and donations. The support of various merchants and entrepreneurs helps to finance our newsletter. Let us know if you are aware of a business in our community that would like to be represented in our newsletter.
