— IN THE PAST WEEK —
Wishing All our Military Veterans and their Families a Blessed Veterans Day
As we observe this Veterans Day, let us never forget those who have made
the ultimate sacrifice and the families who live on without them. To every
member of our armed forces overseas and at home, we pray for your safe
return to your families and the communities who are waiting for you. I am
proud to be a member of the NYC Council's Committee on Veterans, and will
always fight to support those who fight for us.
I hope that all our veterans and their families had a blessed weekend.

ICYMI: Vallone Unveils “CW5 Howard C. Haider Way” in Bayside
Council Member Paul A. Vallone was joined by the Haider family to unveil
the new “CW5 Howard C. Haider Way” at the intersection of 207th Street and
Northern Boulevard. Chief Haider served in the military from 1963 until
2003 and was the first person in New York State to secure the rank of Chief
Warrant Officer 5.
CW5 Howard Charles Haider was born in 1941 and passed away in 2016. Chief
Haider’s military service started on November 21, 1963 in the 258th Field
Artillery Regiment of the New York Army National Guard. He was the first to
achieve the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Five in New York State. His
military service ended in 2003.
Chief Haider took on leadership roles at a number of labor, religious, and
fraternal organizations, including the Commandants Council of Cadet
Organizations, Statue of Liberty Chapter of the US Army Warrant Officer
Association, the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, the
Old Guard of the City of New York and Bayside Post 510 American Legion. He
and wife Christine Haider also spent decades leading the St. Kevin’s Sea
Cadets, who would often participate in services at the Bayside Veterans
Memorial Obelisk, located steps away from “CW5 Howard C. Haider Way.”
“CW5 Haider lived a full life in deep devotion his to his country, his
community and countless local organizations,” said Council Member Paul
Vallone. “I’m proud and humbled to recognize Chief Haider's lifetime of
service and to congratulate Christine and Howard Haider Jr. on this lasting
recognition.”

Long Awaited Traffic Signals Arrive at PS 376
Pleased to see that the Department of Transportation has installed the
awaited traffic signals and crosswalks outside of Bayside's PS
376. Collaboration with Principal Kang, the school’s PTA and the DOT was a
critical part of implementing these positive changes. The safety of our
children always comes first, and I thank the DOT for their responsiveness
to the community's concerns.
