Last Chance: Absentee Ballots

Today is the last day to file a written request for the June 26 primary.

Tuesday is the last day to postmark a written request for an absentee ballot to vote in the June 26 congressional primary election, according to the city's Campaign Finance Board.

Registered voters who will not be able to make it to their polling site on Election Day due to travel, studies, business, illness, disability or residence in a long-term care facility can vote by absentee ballot.

But those intending to do so must postmark a written request for an absentee ballot by June 19.

To download the absentee ballot application, visit the city's Campaign Finance Board site.

Queens races included in this year's congressional primary election include U.S. Rep. Bob Turner, R-Forest Hills, George Maragos and Wendy Long vying for the Republican line in the race against U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.

And four Democrats - state Assembly Members Rory Lancman, D-Fresh Meadows, and Grace Meng, D-Flushing, as well as Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, D-Middle Village, and Bayside Doctor Robert Mittman - will compete in the Sixth Congressional District primary. Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, is the race's lone Republican.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
