Dentistry Duo Delivers Quality Care On Astoria’s Broadway
It used to be you would go to visit your dentist with some trepidation about the pain you would have to endure. You would sit in the waiting room bored, staring into space, dozing, or reading last year’s magazines. The status quo may exist for some dentists who haven’t kept pace with all the technological advances of recent years, but […]

Cast Your Vote, Make Yourself HeardBy the time our next edition hits the streets, a new president will have been elected. This means we have one last opportunity— the issue you now peruse—to urge all of our readers who are able to do so to vote next Tuesday.

Be Wary Of Change
To The Editor: As an Independent, I am bothered to see the Democrats blame the Bush Administration for our current economic problems. Two prior Democratic Administrations initiated and promoted unsound and loose economic policies.

Get Your Facts Straight
To The Editor: I received a campaign flyer from [City] Councilman James Gennaro in which he attacked his opponent, [state] Senator Frank Padavan, in the state senate race in Northeast Queens. The flyer alleges that Senator Padavan votes against women’s healthcare needs by allowing insurance companies to deny services like mammograms and bone density scans. He also states that Padavan […]
Op—Ed
Protecting New York City's Businesses In Tough TimesI want to say a few words to everyone who owns, who works in, or who relies on goods or services from our city’s small businesses.
