struggle to understand and honor the world around us--as artists,
scientists, creators, collaborators, preservers, and simply curious beings.

*Help the United Palace Replace its Silver Screen *Since returning film to
the Palace last year with screenings of "Dracula," "Casablanca," "It's a
Wonderful Life," and several NYC classics we have learned how much this
town loves going to movies in a magnificent setting. The greatest
compliment we hear from audience members is that watching a movie at the
Palace with a large crowd has the same electricity as seeing live theatre
on Broadway. It has encouraged us to take the next step in the ongoing
process of improving the theatre so that it lives up to what amNY newspaper
called *"The Best Way To See Movies The Way They Used To Be." *The first
thing we need to do is replace the over 50-year-old screen. The decades-old
layers of dust, holes and scratches severely detract from the audience's
enjoyment of the movies. After cleaning it last year we realized that it is
beyond repair. We need your help to raise $20,000 to install a new screen
before April 27th when we show the original *"King Kong." *Among the great
perks you can receive for your contribution are: free tickets; a movie pass
through the end of 2015; reserved seats; private screenings. To contribute
or learn more about the campaign please visit:
http://igg.me/at/upca-screen/x/1974676. We have been surprised by how
popular our screenings have become and want to continue to give our
audiences the finest cinematic experiences that we can. Thank you for
helping out by contributing or spreading the word about the campaign. Hope
to see you back at the Palace soon.

out flyers explaining the New York State law when driving near school buses
and shares tips for sharing the road with school buses. Help keep our
children safe. New York State transports 2.3 million children with more
than 50,000 school buses to school every year. School buses are most likely
to be on the road during a three hour window in the morning and a three
hour window in the afternoon, the timing of which is consistent from
day-to-day. School buses are noted for typically traveling at lower rates
of speed and making frequent stops. When a school bus is preparing to stop,
the driver will activate the yellow flashing lights at approximately 300
feet before the stop. At the stop the vehicle will be put into neutral or
park with the parking brake set to open the door and activate the red
flashing lights with the stop arm/stop sign being extended and flashing. *New
York State law requires motorists to stop for school buses that are
receiving or discharging passengers. *A vehicle *must stop* when
encountering a school bus in the process of loading or unloading students
on a public highway; on multiple lane roads; on opposite sides of divided
highways; on a public street; on a private road; in a parking lot; and on
school property. The driver of the vehicle must stop from either
direction.  The driver must also stop if the school bus has another bus in
front of it to receive or discharge passengers. Keep in mind that violation
o f these rules of the road also carry stiff fines: $250-$400, 5 points and
up to 30 days imprisonment for a first offense, up to $750-$1k, 5 points
and up to 180 days imprisonment for a third offense within three years.



*Safeguard your Auto *Vehicles are stolen for parts, insurance fraud,
retagging, exporting, and joy-riding. To help prevent the theft and damage
to your vehicle, the NYPD suggests the following: always lock your vehicle;
always activate your alarm every time you leave your vehicle; NEVER leave
your keys unattended in the ignition, even if it's for a short time; do not
leave your property (GPS, cell phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) in public view;
whenever possible, park in high-traffic or well-lit areas; entroll in the
NYPS's anti-theft programs (Operation ID, CAT, CCAT, HEAT) by contacting
your local precinct Community Affairs or Crime Prevention Officers, or
visit www.nyc.gov/nypd. IF YOUR CAR IS STOLEN, report the theft to the
Police by calling 911, and notify your insurance company.



*GreenDot Money Scam *The NYPD Crime Prevention Section has published a
public awareness video on the "GreenDot Money Card" scam that is taking
place citywide. Below is a link to the video, which is available on the
NYPD's YouTube channel: http://youtu.be/Aks5FivTMjM. Take a moment to watch
this video, and share it with your family and friends.  It will provide
crime prevention tips to help you protect yourself and your loved ones from
this scam.

*The* *Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) *is a special federal tax program
that helps low- and moderate-income working individuals and families reduce
their income taxes and put more money in their pockets. The credit reduces
the amount of federal tax owed, and may even result in a refund. If a
qualifying individual or family owes income tax, EITC will reduce the
amount of taxes owed. If your tax credit is more than your tax bill, you
will receive a refund check--even if you don't owe any taxes. Furthermore,
New York State offers its qualifying residents an additional tax credit
equal to 30% of the federal EITC for the previous tax year.



To qualify for EITC, workers can file as "single," "head of household" or
"married filing jointly."

*         If you are a worker with *one qualifying child,* your total
earned income and your federal

·         adjusted income must each be less than *$38,511 (or $43,941 for
married workers).*

*         If you are a worker with *two children, *your total earned income
and your federal adjusted

·         income must each be less than *$43,756 (or $49,186 for married
workers).*

*         If you are a worker with *three or more children,* your total
earned income and your federal adjusted income must each be less than *$46,997
(or $52,427 for married workers).*

*         If you are *a worker without children, *your total earned income
and your federal adjusted

·         gross income must each be less than *$14,590 (or $20,020 for
married workers).*



Workers with qualifying children must file federal income tax return form*
1040* or *1040A *and must complete and attach Schedule EIC. Workers without
qualifying children can file any tax form -- *including form 1040EZ.* These
workers write "EIC" (or the dollar amount of their credit) on the Earned
Income Tax Credit line on the tax form. They do not file Schedule EIC. A
correct name and valid Social Security number must be provided for every
person

listed on the tax return and Schedule EIC, including infants born before
December 31. *If this information is incorrect or missing, the IRS will
delay the refund. *For more information on the federal EITC, call the
24-hour Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Hotline at 1-800-TAX-1040, or visit
www.irs.gov. To order federal tax forms, call the IRS at 1-800-829-3676.

*Heat & Hot Water *We are grateful that spring, and warmer weather are upon
us. However, it's still "heating season," and City and State Law require
building owners to provide heat and hot water to all tenants. In addition
to being required to provide hot water 365 days per year at a constant
minimum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, building owners are required
to provide heat through May 31st:

·         Between the hours of 6am and 10pm, if the outside temperature
falls below 55 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least
68 degrees Fahrenheit; and,

·         Between the hours of 10pm and 6am, if the temperature outside
falls below 40 degrees, the inside temperature is required to be at least
55 degrees Fahrenheit.



Tenants who are cold in their apartments should first attempt to notify the
building owner, managing agent or superintendent. If heat is not restored,
the call the City's Customer Service Center at 311. (311 can be accessed
outside of New York City by dialing 212-NEW-YORK; the TTY number for the
hearing impaired is 212-504-4115.) The Center is open 24-hours a day,
seven-days a week. You may also file a complaint at
http://www.nyc.gov/apps/311/ for heat and hot water conditions.



****LG/USA PALISADES COURT CASE UPDATE*** (1 item)*

There was a lot of progress this week, including the filing of an *amicus
curiae *brief by Sen. Espaillat with Riverdale's representatives in the NYS
Senate, the Assembly, the City Council and Congress; an *amicus *brief
by Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman; and a strong statement of New York State Parks
Commissioner Rose Harvey on behalf of the Governor, all opposing the
development as currently proposed by the LG USA Corporation and calling for
a shorter building that does not pierce the Palisades' tree line.



The Senator *et. al's* brief outlines "three independent and compelling
cases" against the evaluation process used to allow the construction of the
LG Electronics building. First, the elected officials argue in their brief
that the Borough of Englewood Cliff's Board of Adjustment, the body that
granted a variance in the zoning law for LG Electronics to build above the
35 foot maximum height restriction, did not satisfy the condition for
granting this variance. As the brief notes, a variance must only be granted
for "special reasons" that do not cause "substantial detriment to the
public good." Given that the Palisades are a "universally recognized"
landmark, the brief contends that LG has clearly failed to meet such
standards.



Second, the legislators argue that the sheer magnitude of the variance
requires LG to present "specific and compelling" evidence demonstrating the
need of the project's scale and size. Such evidence, the brief outlines,
simply does not exist.



Finally, they argue that the approval of the 143-foot building failed to
properly apply basic standards of New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law.
Under New jersey law, all variances must cause "no substantial detriment to
the public good." Given that New Jersey has a legal obligation to maintain
the Palisades as a scenic resource for both New York and New Jersey, the
legislators argue that the LG variance clearly violates that legal
obligation and thus fails to meet the burdens of NJ Municipal Land Use Law.



A variance in the zoning law along the Palisades authorized LG Electronics
to build above the 35 foot maximum height restriction. Local New Jersey
residents, the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs and the
environmental group, and Scenic Hudson subsequently filed a lawsuit against
LG Electronics and the Zoning Board of Adjustment, challenging the
authority of the Zoning Board to grant LG Electronics the right to
construct such a tall building.



"This case will impact the future of our community, so New Yorkers need an
advocate in New Jersey Superior Court," said Senator Espaillat. "We're
filing this brief to make sure the Court takes a hard look at LG's
proposal, and prevents the damage their new headquarters will do on both
sides of the Hudson."
