Middle Village Resident Writes to Biased Daily News Reporter

We received this e-mail yesterday. It is comforting that the majority of residents can see through the Juniper Park Civic Association’s bullshit.

A letter to the Daily News:

Mr. Lauinger,

I found your article today to be incredibly biased. I am no fan of Dennis Gallagher, but the St. Saviour’s issue is not as one-sided as you make it seem. The church itself was gutted by a fire over thirty years ago and is now a shell of what it originally had been. It also has not been used in years and did not have enough attendance to sustain itself when it was open as a church. The property is in a mostly industrial area, with some residential houses mixed in. The large majority of its surroundings are factories, warehouses and a railroad. Another park is located half a mile from this site, in the direction of the residential community.

Should the city spend millions to buy this property and make it a park? I don’t know, but there are reasonable arguments on both sides. I do know that the members of the Juniper Park Civic Association, including ones named in your article, have conducted themselves in an unprofessional, immature and offensive manner with respect to this matter. Instead of acting like adults to negotiate and advocate for their position, they viciously attack anyone who disagrees with them. In one rally, they embraced a person who held a large poster showing a noose strung around a tree, stating that is was reserved for Mayor Bloomberg and other city officials with whom they had been dealing. They maligned the Maspeth Federal Savings Bank and its CEO, who is a long-time and respected resident of the community, for not doing what they wanted with the mortgage that the bank held on the property. I wonder if these people truly have the best interests of the community in mind, or if they are more concerned with their own power and press exposure.

Many in the community are disgusted with the leadership of the Juniper Park Civic Association and disagree with their opinions and attacks. I hope your future articles on this matter are more balanced.

From,

A concerned resident.

So Easy, Even a Caveman Can Do It

All of a sudden, while looking at the picture of Tony Nuziato and Paul Ditta standing with a tree lying between them, the phrase “so easy, even a caveman can do it” popped into our heads.

Finding a scapegoat to ascribe blame is much easier than trying to get to the crux of the real causes for St. Saviours. So easy in fact, that even a caveman could grunt the name of the scapegoat.

St. Saviours has stood in a state of disrepair and deterioration for years. During which no one from the community came to its rescue until it was too late. It was much too difficult for media seeking cave dwellers to plan in silence for the eventual inevitable development of the dormant tract of land. It was much easier, to start screaming during the 11^th hour when it became apparent that it was too late to save the crumbling church.

So easy in fact, that even a caveman could do it.

It is much too difficult to blame the mayor’s office after several appeals to purchase the property were denied. It is much easier, however, to beat the Gallagher piñata with a St Saviours stick.

So easy in fact, that even a caveman could do it.

It is much too difficult to blame the NYC Parks Department for not showing an active interest in creating more parkland in our area. It is much easier, however, to drive over Gallagher with the St Saviour’s bus.

So easy in fact, that even a caveman could do it.

It is much more difficult to bring all parties concerned together to try to develop a plan (if possible) to try satisfying the needs of everyone involved. It is much easier, however, to hang a Gallagher dummy from a St. Saviours noose.

So easy in fact, that even a caveman could do it.

The reality of the situation is that no elected official has a magic scepter that they can wave to get whatever they want. If that were true Al Gore would be President and we would be speaking French.

You see, sometimes you win a fight and sometimes you lose. It is just a basic principle in life. We won the Keyspan fight but now the community might have to make concessions with St Saviours. The Neanderthals know this to be true; however, they are more concerned about beating up on Gallagher and getting their names in the paper and their ugly caveman mugs in print than truly saving St Saviours.

Papers love a good sensationalistic story and will spin the facts to make it even more heart wrenching without revealing the opposing facts.

As a matter of fact, it is so easy to manipulate a story that even a caveman can do it.

Holden and Crappy Picking through Garbage or Computer Hackers?

It appears that Holden and his band of merry morons have a lot of free time on their hands. In fact, they have so much free time that they might have acquired Councilman Gallagher’s schedule by picking through garbage or hacking into computers.

Recently, the crap has posted Councilman Gallagher’s schedule on their nasty attack blog. This is just another disgraceful attempt to further malign the councilman. We at the Patriots are concerned and wonder how the crapheads got their hands on Gallagher’s schedule.

There are only three possibilities:

1- It was an inside job by a disgruntled employee

2- Bob, Christina, Tony and Ed disguised themselves as sanitation workers and rummaged through the discarded office trash under the shroud of darkness

3- Bob hired his students to hack into the city council computer network

Despite how they obtained the benign schedule it just proves that Holden and his cronies will sink to new levels to attack an elected official.

Hey Bob, I have a proctology exam at 12:45 today. Bring your camera.

Holden Calls the Cops on DOB Inspectors

Mr. Bob Holden must have something really bad that he is hiding in his basement.

Could it be Jimmy Hoffa? An indoor swimming pool? A printing press?

According to reliable sources, inspectors from the Department of Buildings went to visit the mysterious Holden residence after several previous failed attempts to inspect his basement. Unfortunately for the hard-working inspectors, Bob called the 104^th Precinct to have them forcibly removed from in front of his home.

This strikes us as grossly hypocritical of Mr. Holden. Bob spews his over-development and illegal conversion rhetoric ad nauseum. He continuously lambastes DOB for non-enforcement of building regulations and encourages residents to squeal on their neighbors if they suspect suspicious construction activity. He continually screams that city agencies work FOR the Tax Payers!

However, as we are all aware, the rules do not apply to King Holden. Bob prevented DOB inspectors from doing the job that we the tax payers pay them to perform. In addition, the 104 ^th precinct should be ashamed for bowing down to Bob. Since when do the police prevent city agencies from performing their rightful and lawful duties? I know residents who have called the 104^th to enforce Stop Work Orders and were ignored. I wonder what would happen if building inspectors came to my home and I called the police. There is no doubt I'd be waiting months for a response.

Is Holden getting special treatment from our local law enforcement? Are they afraid that they will be attacked in the next issue of the Juniper Berry and the Forum Crap? We suggest that the new Captain focus on crime and quality of life issues while allowing city inspectors to do their jobs.

Robert Holden is a two-faced, self-righteous, egotistical and hypocritical despot. Bob truly believes he should not be subjected to the same scrutiny as the common folk living in the community.

We believe that reasonable people with nothing to hide would allow inspectors entry into their home if they have not violated any laws and have nothing to hide.

Therefore, this situation causes the reasonable person to ponder, what is Bob hiding in his basement?

Things that make you go Hmmmm....

A Horrific Holden Halloween Story

Imagine unknowingly stumbling into Bob Holden's basement. You are terrified because right away you notice it was illegally converted. The walls are plastered with Juniper Berry pictures old and new. The pictures of the elected officials and city agency representatives who were attacked mercilessly by the Juniper Park Civic Association have their eyes cut out and mustaches drawn across their faces. A dummy that closely resembles Dennis Gallagher has hundreds of hat pins sticking into its body and hangs by a noose from the overhead pipes. You wonder to yourself if a certified plumber has signed off on those pipes.

You trip causing you to fall back against the wall and you notice Tony Avella wrapped in black latex from head to toe, chained to the wall with a red rubber ball stuffed in his mouth. He shakes violently trying to free himself because he is extremely late for a rally he has organized in Staten Island.

You run for your life for the first door you see and crash through but Ed Kamperman is sitting there dressed like Britney Spears and biting the heads off of barn swallows. You are too horrified to scream. You run blindly through the next door.

Oh my! Christina Wilkinson has a live cow dressed like the Wendy's restaurant mascot and is eating the bovine alive! Oh the humanity! You desperately search for a way out. You notice another door and are certain that this must be the way out.

You open the door slowly but Bob is blocking your escape. He laughs maniacally at your desperation. A vicious dog barks wildly behind Bob in the dark. You tremble in fear but are somewhat comforted that Holden has the hidden dog on a leash and is holding the leather handle tightly. The dog begins to step into the dim light. The dim light suddenly illuminates your deepest darkest depraved fear. It's Tony Nunziato on all fours wearing nothing but a diaper. He snarls and spits like a rabid hound. Bob laughs more loudly. You fear that you soon will be chained next to Avella and have Tony urinate on your leg for an eternity.

You run as fast as you can without looking when all of a sudden you bump into another figure. "No Dog off leash" it yells. You look up and it is a life like Bob Holden dummy. You punch the dummy in the stomach. "Save St Saviours" The dummy sounds just like Holden. What sick SOB would make a dummy of Bob? You smack the dummy in the head. "Donate to the Midville Dodgers". "Avella for Mayor" "I am god" You place your hands over your ears because you can no longer stand the sound of its voice.

The real Bob Holden walks up to you still laughing, or is it the real Holden? Bob reaches behind his head and removes the skin from his face. No, no…it can't be…Oh MY GOD!!!!!!! You're not Bob, your…your…your his aunt, Lorraine Sciulli.

You soil yourself and die from shock.

Haunted and Scary Places in Queens

In honor of Halloween, the Patriots have decided to provide you with the scariest places or people in Queens.

There have been reports that there are supernatural happenings occurring at the American Museum of the Moving Image. According to eyewitness reports, there are times when people have heard voices when there was no one else in the building. In addition, people have reported hearing footsteps following them, however, when they turned around to see who it was, no one was there. Finally, there have been frequent sightings of an image of a black woman in a white dress sitting behind the security desk late at night. Spooky.



Fort Totten is another place in Queens that has experienced it share of haunting sounds and images. The 150 year old military base is said to be built upon an old Indian burial ground (under the existing soccer field). Many areas on the Fort are reported to be haunted. Sometime in mid May of 2000, one guard was dozing off in his car when all of a sudden he was awaken by a loud knock on his car window. He saw two men, one standing by each side of the car that were pointing and laughing at the guard. The scary thing was that the guard could see right through the ghostly forms! This wasn't the first time this has occurred and the guard was warned on numerous occasions that that specific location was haunted. Guards patrolling the grounds still refuse to wander into that area. Freaky.


Imagine being Tony Nunziato's bathroom mirror. Try to envision the horror of that ugly face peering into you each morning. The agony of listening to his delusions of how he single-handedly saved Maspeth from communist oppression! Now that is one scary place to be!

Residents Beware of DEP Imposters

BE CAREFUL!!!!

According to our sources two men posing as DEP representatives robbed the home of an elderly woman. The men were professionally dressed and told the woman that they were inspecting various homes in the area because of the recent flooding problems plaguing Middle Village. The woman allowed the two men inside her home at which time she was robbed.

We do not have any additional information on whether a gun was used or if the woman was injured.

Please check the identification of anyone who claims to be a representative of a city agency. Furthermore, if you still feel uneasy ask for the number of the agency to confirm the legitimacy of the individual.

We hope that the 104th Precinct finds these bastards and they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Please spread the word.

KFC, We do chicken wrong!

Ok, this is totally off the beaten path but bare with me.

I was browsing the internet this morning and came across something very disturbing. Now I vaguely recalled that KFC was under fire for their treatment of the chickens they grow to use however, I never realized the extent of cruelty behind it.

Now I totally understand that chickens along with other animals are born to die in order to feed us.

Unfortunately, what i witnessed here is something plain wrong.

Please take a look at this website and see for yourself.

Councilmen Interlopers?

It looks like Robert Holden and the Juniper Park Civic Association are inviting outsiders into our beloved Middle Village.

The interlopers are Tony Avella, David Weprin and Joe Addabbo.

The Patriots can try to understand why the three are coming to perform their stump speeches during the next JPCA gaggle:

Tony Avella has delusions of grandeur that he will be our next mayor. However, the word on the street is that Tony has as much of chance as being mayor as an unleashed three legged dog winning a horse race. Moreover, Bob loves Tony because they are both as appealing as having festering boils on your ass while riding cross country in the back of an old pick up truck.

David Weprin wants to be the next city comptroller however, unfortunately for David, his hair piece has more charisma that he does. In addition, Mr. Weprin is a media whore who loves to have his picture taken. David would pose with Tibetan monks setting themselves on fire if he thought it would get him one vote.

It has been rumored that Joe Addabbo wants to run for Senator Maltese’s seat in the upcoming New York senatorial election. Therefore, it’s possible that Bob made some empty promise that he could deliver a few votes to Addabbo. Too bad for Joe that Holden couldn’t even deliver a pizza and a can of pepsi to his campaign headquarters.

In closing, we wonder how Senator Maltese feels about Holden and the JPCA providing a forum to a possible challenger to his seat.

Unfortunately, you have to be careful when feeding a vicious dog, you might get bit on the hand.

Rudy Red Sox Ruse

Rudy Giuliani did the ultimate flip-flop making John Kerry look like a man with irreproachable convictions!

In a stunning admission, Rudy has stated that he will be rooting for the evil Boston Red Sox. I don't think there is a Yankee fan on this planet that will be hoping that the Red Sux beat the Colorado Rockies in the fall classic.

This is voter pandering that would make Tony Avella blush!!

What a Drag!!

Famous Queens Resident Series, Part XX

DeWitt Clinton - The governor who spear-headed construction of the Erie Canal lived in Maspeth.

DeWitt Clinton (March 2, 1769 Napanoch, New York – February 11, 1828 Albany, New York) was an early American politician who served as United States Senator and Governor of New York. In this last capacity he was largely responsible for the construction of the Erie Canal.

He was the second son born to James Clinton and his wife Mary DeWitt, daughter of an old Dutch family, and was educated at what is now Columbia University. He became the secretary to his uncle, George Clinton, who was then governor of New York. Soon after he became a member of the Democratic-Republican Party. He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1798 and of the New York State Senate from the Southern District from 1798 to 1802, and from 1806 to 1811. He was a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention in 1801. He was a member of the Council of Appointments in 1801-1802 and 1806-1807. He won the by-election to the United States Senate after the resignation of John Armstrong, Jr. and served from February 9, 1802, to November 4, 1803. He resigned, unhappy with living conditions in newly built Washington, DC, to become the Mayor of New York. He served as Mayor in 1803-1807, 1808-1810 and 1811-1815. While serving as Mayor, he organized the Historical Society of New York in 1804 and was its president. He also organized the Academy of Fine Arts in 1808. He was Regent of the University of New York from 1808 to 1825.

Clinton was married twice, first on February 13, 1796, to Maria Franklin, daughter of the prominent New York Quaker merchant, Walter Franklin, by whom he had ten children, four sons and three daughters surviving at the time of her death in 1818. On May 8, 1819, he married Catharine Jones, daughter of a New York physician, Thomas Jones, who survived him.

In 1811, defeating the Federalist Nicholas Fish and the Tammany Hall candidate Marinus Willett, he won a special election for Lieutenant Governor of New York - to fill the vacancy left by the death of Lt. Gov. Broome - and served under Daniel D. Tompkins until the end of the term in June 1813. In 1812 Clinton ran for President of the United States as candidate of the Federalists and anti-war Democratic-Republicans, but was defeated by President Madison, Clinton received 89 electoral votes, Madison 128. After the resignation of Governor Tompkins who had been elected Vice President, he won a special gubernatorial election against Peter Buell Porter - Clinton received 43,310 votes, Porter only 1,479. On July 1, 1817, Clinton became the governor of New York. He was re-elected in 1820, defeating the sitting Vice President Tompkins - DeWitt Clinton 47,447 votes, Tompkins 45.900 - and served until December 31, 1822. During his second term, the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1821 shortened the gubernatorial term to two years, and moved the beginning of the term from July 1 to January 1, actually cutting off the last 6 months of the 3-year-term he had been elected to. Also the gubernatorial election was moved from April to November, but Clinton was not renominated by his party to run for reelection in November 1822. In 1824 he was re-elected governor, and served another two terms until his sudden death in office. He was originally buried at the Clinton Cemetery in Little Britain, New York, later he was re-interred at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Clinton was able to accomplish many things as a leader in civic and state affairs, such as improving the New York public school system, encouraging steam navigation, and modifying the laws governing criminals and debtors. The 1831 DeWitt Clinton (locomotive) was named in his honor.

While governor he was largely responsible for the construction of the Erie Canal. He imagined a Canal from Buffalo, New York on the Eastern Shore of Lake Erie to Albany, New York on the upper Hudson River, a distance of almost 400 miles. So, in 1817 he persuaded the state lawmakers to provide 7 million dollars for the construction of a canal 363 miles long, 40 feet wide, and four feet deep. In 1825, when the Erie Canal was finished, Governor Clinton opened it, sailing in the packet boat Seneca Chief along the Canal into Buffalo. After sailing from the mouth of Lake Erie to New York City he emptied two casks of water from Lake Erie into New York Harbor, celebrating the first connection of waters from East to West. Although railroads did compete with the canal, the advent of railroads did not cause the canal to become defunct. As late as 1852, the canal carried thirteen times more freight tonnage than all the railroads in New York state combined; it continued to compete well with the railroads through 1882, when tolls were abolished. The canal made an immense contribution to the wealth and importance of both New York City and New York State, making boomtowns out of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Rome, Utica and Schenectady. Nevertheless, its impact went much further, as it increased trade throughout the nation by opening eastern markets to Midwest farm products and encouraged western immigration.

Joe Torre Leaves with Pride of the Yankees

If you are a Yankee fan or not, you must admit that Joe Torre is a class act. He was extremely successful by any professional sport standards. During his twelve year tenure as Yankee skipper he brought 10 division titles and 4 World Series trophies to New York City. More importantly, Joe Torre did it with professionalism, decency and dignity. I am glad that Joe Torre did not let the goons of the front office take those rare attributes away from him.

The NY Slimes Ignores Military Hero

Once again the NY Times has shown its true anti-American ultra-liberal colors by refusing to cover the posthumous awarding of the Medal of Honor to Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy.

During a battle with Taliban fighters, Lt. Murphy bravely stepped out into the line of fire to make a satellite call for help. A survivor recalled that Murphy “took two rounds to the back and dropped down on a rock and sat back up, picked the phone back up and started talking again.” His actions reportedly save the lives of his fellow comrades in arms.

The NY Times holds this type of heroic actions in contempt because it epitomizes the greatness of our military and the strength of the American spirit.

But do you know WHO the NY Times thinks deserves front page coverage and their meaningless accolades? You guessed it. Two great American patriots named President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Mahmoud Ahmadinjad of Iran both of who are well known for their hatred of America. The NY Slimes regards these two anti-American thugs as the seekers of peace, the dynamic duo of diplomacy and the voices against violence.

This is a disgrace even for a publication that has proven time and time again that they are an embarrassment to the media.

No veteran or true American should ever read the NY Times.

Thank God we have heroes like Lt. Michael Murphy who through their bravery and selfless service to this great nation cause Americans to beam with pride.

God Bless America!

To hell with the Times!

Spitzer Hood: Taking from the Poor and Giving to the Illegals

In his latest temper tantrum and vindictive vengeance, Governor Spitzer is taking away money that would fund important programs for legal American citizens in attempt to crush opponents of his plan to license illegal aliens. According to the NY Post article "Spiteful Spitzer KOs health $$ in ID spat" , Spitzer is trying to punish Assembly Minority leader James Tedisco, a vocal opponent of the governor’s ridiculous plan to provide identification to individuals living in America illegally. Actually, Spitzer is so blinded by his vengeance that he doesn’t realize he is punishing American citizens in need of state funding for programs they rely upon.

By canceling the $300,000 a shameful Spitzer will be denying free health care to those desperately in need, hundreds of school children will be less secure because funding for video surveillance equipment will not be available, upgrades to playgrounds will not be completed and kids who enjoy football will not have the equipment required to enjoy and play the sport safely.

It is mind boggling that Spitzer is more concerned about the rights and privileges of illegal aliens than the well-being of American citizens living in New York.

Frank Rich implies, “Americans = Good Germans = Nazis?

In a recent article, “The Good German Among Us”, NY Times slime ball, Frank Rich compares Americans to Nazi murderers. Mr. Rich wants you to believe that Americans who support the war, honor our soldiers and do not believe that our government is evil are no better than Nazis who killed millions.

Even though the NY Times has absolutely no resemblance to an objective, non-political or honorable newspaper, they still should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that comparison to be printed.

There is an apparent and obvious distinction between Americans who believe that enemies of our country should be dealt with using the full might of our military and the Nazis that targeted for death those they deemed as culturally, racially or physically inferior to themselves. But then again, Mr. Rich is morally deficient and doesn’t really care about the truth. The only thing Rich cares about is spreading illogical spurious arguments to effectuate the far left agenda. To compare the conditions at Abu Ghraib to the murders, horrors and violence inflicted by Nazis in German concentration camps is unconscionable.

Let’s take Mr. Rich put him in a simulated WWII concentration camp, then place him in Abu Grahib and let’s see what he writes!

Disagree with the administration

Disagree with the war

But do not denigrate the American people.

Famous Queens Resident Series, Part XIX

Eddie Arcaro - The Triple Crown-winning jockey lived at the Homestead Hotel, a home for jockeys near the Kew Gardens railroad station. The building is now used as a nursing home. Eddie Arcaro (February 19, 1916 - November 4, 1997) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing Hall of Fame jockey who won more American Classic Races than any other jockey in history and is the only rider to have won the U.S. Triple Crown twice. He is widely regarded as the greatest jockey in the history of American Thoroughbred horse racing.

George Edward Arcaro was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of an impoverished taxi driver. Eventually nicknamed "Banana Nose" by his confreres, Arcaro won his first race in 1932 at the Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico.

Eddie Arcaro won his first Kentucky Derby in 1938 aboard Lawrin. He is tied with Bill Hartack for most Derby wins at five, and has the most wins in the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes with six. He won the U.S. Triple Crown in 1941 on Whirlaway and again in 1948 on Citation.

Arcaro also won the Grade I Suburban Handicap eight times, the Wood Memorial Stakes nine times and the Jockey Club Gold Cup on ten occasions. In international competitions, at Woodbine Racetrack, Toronto, Arcaro won the 1953 Queen's Plate, Canada's most prestigious race and the oldest race in North America, and at Laurel Park Racecourse in Laurel, Maryland, the 1954 Washington, D.C. International against the best from Europe.

In 1953 Eddie Arcaro was voted the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, and in 1958 he was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame

Active in jockey affairs, Arcaro was a driving force behind the creation of the Jockeys' Guild. He retired in 1962 because of severe bursitis in his arm. He ended his career having competed in 24,092 races and having won 4,779 with record setting earnings of $30,039,543. For a time he worked as a television commentator on racing and then as a public relations officer for the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas, before retiring to a home in Miami, Florida.

Eddie Arcaro died in 1997. His body was cremated and his ashes were inurned in the columbarium at Miami's Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Cemetery.

Today, he is one of the most well known jockeys in history of horse racing.

Keep Curtis and Kuby and Send Imus to the Isthmus of Obscurity

Don Imus may return to the airwaves in early December. Remarkably, this comes less than a year after the ancient shock jock was fired from WFAN for making racist remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

It is rumored that Imus will be taking over WABC's morning drive time slot currently occupied by Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby. The deal is likely to be announced by the end of the week.

Curtis and Kuby offer a balanced program with Curtis on the right and Kuby on the left. Giving back Imus his own radio show will mean that New Yorkers will be subjected to his stale and mundane rhetoric. Curtis and Kuby have energy, great chemistry and offer something to those on both sides of the political spectrum.


Say Yes to Curtis and Kuby and let’s send Imus back to the ranch!

Just our opinion
