		<description><![CDATA[Your article &#8220;Bayside residents oppose school in place of Keil Bros Garden Center&#8221; fails to mention the solution long recommended by the community board, and restated by its Education Committee at the meeting.  That is the return of P.S. 130 to District 26 use for the children that currently live in its zone. P.S. 130 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Memorial Day in my book is not just another day off for backyard barbecuing. In my opinion, Memorial Day is a time to remember all those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy. This Memorial Day, I find myself thinking what it means to be an American. The answer is crystal clear, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would like to praise restaurant dishwasher Charles Ramsey who helped to rescue kidnap victims Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Amanda&#8217;s six-year-old daughter from the unspeakable house of horrors. These girls suffered egregious and nefarious acts of depravity under the alleged hands of kidnappers who need to be put away for the rest of their lives. As for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If our children are being taught that America embodies no worthwhile principles to defend, no values to cherish, no traditions to preserve, then our republic is truly in jeopardy. Academia, the education establishment and most educators do not believe America’s values and principles are exceptional. Curriculum guides and textbooks characterize America as a country that is destroying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is little doubt that we are being bamboozled by our professional politicians. We continue to have faith in our rulers despite their betrayals, the squandering of the loot they steal and the unsustainable debt they have created. After each crisis, whether it be a natural disaster, a mass shooter, or a terrorist attack, we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Pols push for mixed martial arts in New York&#8221; (Terrence McCullen, May 2) is great news. Mixed martial arts is a rapidly growing sport already legal in other states. It rivals both wrestling and boxing in fans and attendance for events. Why should we miss out on the jobs, economic growth and new tax revenues? If Governor Andrew Cuomo, State Senate Leader Dean Skelos, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The city’s executive budget has been released. It proposes a cut to Queens Library of $29.6 million, part of a proposed cut to libraries citywide of $100 million. If that proposal were to become reality, the impact on library service hours and the number of job layoffs are unthinkable. Our representatives in City Hall and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the northeast corner of Northern Boulevard and the Clearview Expressway in Bayside is a green area where the Soldier’s Monument proudly stands. The monument commemorates the sacrifices that our brave men and women made serving in the armed forces during wartime.  Unfortunately, this green area is frequently littered.  Recently, I picked up a bag [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Go for a Ride&#8221; (Andy Altamirano, April 25) concerning expansion of ferry service to Astoria makes sense. Our waterways are an underutilized natural asset which can offer significant transportation alternatives for thousands of New Yorkers. Most of our existing public transportation and roadways are already operating at or above capacity. New ferry services can be [...]]]></description>
