Manhattan

A helicopter with four tourists on board, including two teenagers, was forced to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River near Manhattan's West Side Sunday, authorities said, according to Associated Press / NBC New York.  
According to a city official familiar with the investigation, the helicopter's pilot made a controlled landing in the water after the engine lost power at around noon. Two adults and two teenagers from Sweden were on board.  
The four passengers and the pilot were taken out of the helicopter and transported by jet ski to the 79th Street Boat Basin in Riverside Park. They suffered only minor injuries and refused medical attention, authorities said.
The helicopter, a Bell 206, is registered to New York Helicopter Charter, an official from the FAA said. It was being towed by the Coast Guard to the Boat Basin Sunday afternoon.
Deputy Fire Chief Thomas McKavanaugh said the helicopter had taken off from the Wall Street Heliport and lost power after 12 minutes in the air. The pilot used the craft's pontoons, and it remained upright as it landed.
"The pilot did a terrific job considering he'd lost his engine power," McKavanaugh said.

Manhattan

A 21-year-old man was arrested after he tried to rape a jogger in Central Park, cops said Saturday, according to the New York Daily News.  

Saul Alvarez attacked the 29-year-old woman from behind as she was jogging by Lasker Pool near the park’s East Drive at E. 106th St. at about 10:45 p.m. Friday, police said.  

Alvarez cupped his hand around the woman’s mouth as he tried to drag her off the path — but the woman managed to break free and yelled for help, sources said. 

A passerby heard the cry and called 911 as he tended to the frantic woman, sources said. The woman gave a description of the attacker to cops, who found Alvarez nearby a short time later, sources said.  

The jogger was taken to a local hospital, where she was treated for trauma and a cut to the right side of her face. 

Alvarez was to be arraigned Saturday on charges that included attempted rape. 

Locals said they usually avoided the park when the sun goes down. 

“I would never come in the park after dark, especially if I’m by myself,” said Veronica Arndorfer. “I would rather go around the park at night than walk through it."

"He looked like he was in bad shape, sprawled out on the ground," said Gladys McMillian, 66. "The man looked like he was bleeding really badly from his head.

The poor man just couldn't move. He couldn't talk."

McMillian added that a young woman was soaked in blood, and crying.

"She had bruises on her arms, and it looked like she had a hole in her head," she said.

EMS rushed to the scene, and took the two to Kings County Hospital for treatment, the spokesman added.

Two NYPD Officers Assigned To Forest Park After Sexual Assaults

According to the commanding officer of the 102nd Precinct, the two officers will be patrolling the 550-acre area 7 days a week, from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Photo: Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska/DNAinfo)

Queens


Two officers have been chosen to patrol Forest Park after a string of sexual assaults in recent years, the authorities said, according to DNAinfo. 
But the patrols will mostly cover the daytime hours at the massive park, which was the site of an early evening sexual assault at the end of March.
Eric Yun, a spokesman for Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, said the pol "is pleased that the 102nd Precinct is patrolling the park more often and there is a dedicated patrol for Forest Park."
"But we also want to make sure that they are patrolling it at night as well," Yun added.
The officers, Diana Kaouris, 26, and Mary Carter, started patrolling the park last week, said Capt. Henry Sautner, Commanding Officer of the 102nd Precinct, which covers Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill and Woodhaven, at a community council meeting Tuesday.
Kaouris and Carter were chosen out of more than a dozen cops who applied for the job.
“I chose the two best qualified officers,” said Sautner. He described the cops as “very conscientious and very eager.”
The move comes as 10 new officers will be assigned to the 102nd Precinct starting this Friday, increasing the precinct headcount to 156 officers, Sautner said.
The two officers, Sautner said, will be patrolling the 550-acre area 7 days a week, from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Both cops will work five days each and their hours could change depending on activity levels in the park, which closes at 9 p.m.
“You’ll be seeing them out there. They will be on bicycles, they will be on foot,” he said. “They will be my eyes and ears in the park.”
The patrol was created after a series of attacks targeting women that occurred in the park in recent years and complaints about drug and alcohol use.
The most recent sexual assault took place March 29 about 7:25 p.m. when a 23-year-old woman was attacked while jogging. The suspect grabbed her from behind, shocked her with a stun gun and sexually assaulted her and is still on the loose, cops said.
The officers will also deal with quality of life issues, including drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana in the park, Sautner said.
“They are our liaison in the park (…) almost like an extension of community affairs on a smaller scale,” Sautner said.
Kaouris, who has worked for the NYPD for 5 years, said she applied because she felt she “would be great for the position.” “I’m into the outdoors, I’m into running around and it’s an active position,” she said.
“As a female I want women to be able to approach me and feel comfortable,” Kaouris added.
The other officer, Mary Carter, was chosen the Cop of the Month in April for making five robbery arrests in a one month period, Sautner said.

Comptroller Liu Returns $90M Central Park Conservancy Contract; Asks Mayor To Level Playing Field for Parks


The Central Park Conservancy (CPC) has more than $ 215 million dollars in assets not counting the  controversial $ 100 million dollar donation from billionaire John Paulson.  The conservancy is also slated to receive a $ 2.8 million dollar raise from the city in FY 2014 which begins next month.   The CPC also raises money from concessions which the city allows them to receive 50 percent of the funds raised in excess of  $  6 million dollars annually.   The new contract also increases the length of time from of the previous two agreements of 8 years each - to 10 years and has a provision to extend it for another  decade. (Photos: Geoffrey Croft/NYC Park Advocates) Click on images to enlarge.

The deplorable conditions found in many parks in less affluent communities did not prevent the former parks commissioner's new employee from recently giving them high marks.

These issues bring to light the enormous inequities between parks in wealthy areas and those in less affluent neighborhoods as the city's elected officials allocate a fraction of the funds needed to properly maintain, secure and program our public parks. 
   
City-Wide

City Comptroller John C. Liu has returned a contract that would enrich the privately funded Central Park Conservancy (CPC) by $90 million in City funds, asking Mayor Bloomberg to revise the agreement in order to more equitably distribute revenue to the many parks and playgrounds that don’t get the same attention or service as Central Park.  Comptroller Liu’s office is also reviewing another CPC contract, this one for $60 million in City capital construction funds, with the same purpose in mind.

“Central Park is very important to New York and is indeed an icon of our City. However, the City should do more to ensure that parks across the five boroughs are being funded adequately and equitably,” Comptroller Liu said.  “The City should provide funding for basic maintenance and much-needed capital projects across all parks before sending this much-needed taxpayer money to a well-funded private organization. Let’s work together to maintain Central Park and provide equity among all of our parks.”

On Monday, June 17, Comptroller Liu returned a $90 million operations contract between the NYC Parks Department and the CPC because of insufficient information. Comptroller Liu then wrote Mayor Bloomberg asking that the structure of the contract be revised to provide a more equitable distribution of resources. 

Long lines at the park's boat rental consession, one of the many conessions located in the park.  The licence agreement between city and the CPC allows the group to keep 50 percent of the funds raised in excess of  $  6 million dollars annually. Money that is being allowed to be diverted from the City's general fund. 


Comptroller Liu suggested that the City:

·         Eliminate or reduce the CPC’s revenue-sharing agreement, which gives the CPC substantial funding based on City concession and special events income unavailable to most other parks. 
·         Reallocate capital funds to higher-needs parks.
·         Require greater financial transparency from the CPC.
·         Encourage the CPC to do more to help support other area parks.

TEXT OF COMPTROLLER LIU’S LETTER TO MAYOR BLOOMBERG:


June 19, 2013

Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg
Mayor
City Hall
New York, NY 10007

Dear Mayor Bloomberg:

My office has returned the ten-year, $90 million Central Park Conservancy contract submitted by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and is currently reviewing an additional $60 million capital contract with the Conservancy.

I write to ask you to reflect on the wide disparities that exist among parks in the five boroughs.  For example, St. Nicholas Park, located just a few blocks north of Central Park in Harlem, recently received a score of 77 out of a possible 100 points from New Yorkers for Parks because of trip hazards, litter, and out-of-service drinking fountains.

The Parks Department can and should amend both Conservancy contracts so that they help provide more equity among parks.  These modifications should also take into account the exceptionally strong financial condition of the Conservancy.

We recommend that the following changes be made:

·         Eliminate or reduce the Conservancy’s revenue-sharing agreement.  Currently 50 percent of the estimated approximately $12 million Central Park net concession and special event revenue is distributed to the Conservancy. In contrast, very few if any other City parks have such a beneficial arrangement.

·         Reallocate capital funds toward higher-needs parks.  If we are serious about equitably distributing scarce resources, we need to reallocate a portion of the City’s capital contributions for Central Park to parks with higher needs that are over-reliant on discretionary funds.

·         Increase financial transparency. The Conservancy’s 2011-2012 tax filings show revenues of $47 million.  Other public sources indicate that the Conservancy has a workforce of approximately 300 employees, ranging from seasonal grounds technicians paid $18,228 to the President and CEO, who received total compensation of $456,319.  Like the Parks Department and every other City agency, the Conservancy should publish spending and payroll data on Checkbook NYC, the City’s financial transparency website. Mandatory federal tax filings do not provide adequate transparency.

·         Encourage expanded support of area parks. The Conservancy should work with the Parks Department to identify struggling parks throughout the five boroughs that would benefit from the Conservancy’s operational and development expertise.  Such a collaboration could help mitigate some of the widespread concerns that public-private partnerships favor only a handful of elite parks. 

According to its most recent tax return, the Conservancy has more than $215 million in assets. This staggering number does not take into account the recently announced $100 million private donation.

The City should ensure that parks across the five boroughs—and not just Central Park—are being funded adequately and equitably. When the City is unable to provide funding for basic maintenance and much-needed capital projects, one must question whether it is appropriate to provide our wealthiest park with $150 million of new resources.

Let’s work together to maintain Central Park and provide equity among all of our parks.

Sincerely,


John C. Liu

The funding deal allows the Central Park Conservancy to spend far more on basic maintainence like tree care compared to parks in less affluent neighborhoods.

Bronx BP Pushes For MLS Stadium In Borough


“As reports have made clear, your league’s plans to build a new soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows have stalled and may not be able to be revived. It would appear that there is little enthusiasm for world class soccer in Queens.”  - Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.   
Bronx/Queens
By Geoffrey Croft
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. sent a letter to Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber yesterday urging the league to consider the Bronx, and not Queens, as the home of its newest franchise, the New York City Football Club.
“As reports have made clear, your league’s plans to build a new soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows have stalled and may not be able to be revived. It would appear that there is little enthusiasm for world class soccer in Queens,” Borough President Diaz said in a statment. 
In the letter, Borough President Diaz stated professional soccer in the Bronx would bring an incredible economic benefit to the borough, specifically noting the amount of visitors the Bronx saw this week during the soccer match between the national clubs of Spain and Ireland, which was held in Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.
“While here, these soccer fans spent money in local businesses and restaurants, bringing tremendous economic activity to the 161st Street corridor. If a Major League Soccer franchise were to make its permanent home in our borough, we can replicate that financial boost, either at 161st Street or elsewhere, more than 20 times a year,” wrote Borough President Diaz.
Borough President Diaz also mentioned that professional soccer would be a perfect complement to other major sports projects taking place in the Bronx, such as the PGA-level golf course managed by Donald Trump, a world-class tennis center in Crotona Park and the largest ice center in the world at the Kingsbridge Armory the statement read. 
“The Bronx would be the perfect home for a new professional soccer franchise. I am ready to work with Major League Soccer to make this a reality, and I look forward to beginning this conversation,” said Borough President Diaz.
MSL and the Mayor's "first choice" to build a 35,000 seat soccer and concert arena is  in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, a plan that has been vehamently opposed since it was first announced. 
Two weeks ago however at a press conference announcing the Yankees 25% investment in the New York City Football Club  Mayor Bloomberg and soccer officials backed down from their FMCP location or nothing position. 
"I think the best place for it for everybody is in the Eastern End of Flushing Meadow Park. It's a park that's been neglected for a long time, the city doesn't have enough money to renovate every park,"  Mayor Bloomberg said. 
"Nobody should think they've got a lock on this (location) there are lots of different places  where you could build the stadium...I just want to make sure it's in New York City and we get it going. " 
The mayor declined to name alternate locations when asked.
"We have to take a look and see," he replied.

A 59-year-old tourist  from Terre Haute Indiana was hit by falling tree branch in Central Park this afternoon, the second person to be struck in the park by a tree limb in less than a week.


Sharon Reese was walking with her husband when a 3 inch in diameter branch from an Oak tree suddenly snapped and fell three stories hitting her in the head city sources said. 

She was transported to St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital.

The incident occurred  inside the park on an asphalt path about 50 yards from a park entrance at West 86th Street and Central Park West just after 3:30pm.

The woman temporarily lost consciousness and initially could not remember what had happened to her according to  city sources. 

"It's scary," said jogger Penelope Clark who saw the victim shortly after the incident. 

"I saw a woman lying on the ground. She had a bandage wrapped around her head, a giant branch on the ground.  She had blood on her head." 

Central Park Conservancy workers quickly loaded the broken limb into the back of a pick-up truck and carted it away. 

Ms. Reese was listed in stable condition this evening. 

On June 3, a 46-year-old man was struck by a tree limb on 96th and Central Park West at 7:00am.

It was revealed last week that the City and the Central Park Conservancy settled two high profile tree injury cases for a total  $ 14.5 million dollars.   


By late afternoon, caution tape and barricades surrounded the tree.

Woman Recants Riverside Park Rape Claim

Manhattan

By Geoffrey Croft

The 44-year-old homeless woman who claimed she was raped in Riverside Park early this morning has recanted her story NYC Park Advocates has learned.

This evening police said they would not be charging her with filing a false police report.

The victim had told police she was walking southbound along Riverside Drive at West 74th Street at 5 a.m. when a black male approached her from behind and said he was a "cop and an FBI agent. " 

She told them a man dragged her inside the park under a tree by the South Lawn and sexually assaulted her.

She was taken to the Bellvue hospital where she was examined.

The woman said the assailant did not display a weapon.

The woman could offer no other description of the alleged rapist other than that he was a male black.

The incident was being investigated by the Special Victims Squad,  NYPD Internal Affairs division and the Police Impersonation Squad.

Police had begun to track down surveillance cameras from residential buildings.

On April 9, police arrested a hispanic male in the park for touching and exposing himself near the playground three blocks north (76th St) after a nanny called authorities.    The man has a long arrest history according to a law enforcement source.

Westside Rag also contributed to this story.
