The city joined Shadia Sands this week in mourning D’aja Robinson, her 14-year-old daughter who was killed by gunfire on Saturday.

“She was my only child — my heart, my everything,” Sands said Tuesday at a press conference near the Sutphin Ave. bus stop where she was killed when a gunman fired at least nine shots into a Q6 bus.

Gov. Cuomo announced last week that A train subway service will be restored to the Rockaways on May 30, just over seven months after Hurricane Sandy destroyed tracks across Jamaica Bay and seriously damaged two stations.

The list goes on of mix-ups and mash-ups, and Flushing Town Hall has been getting in on the fun with its Cultural Crossroads series, featuring musicians from different countries coming together to jam.

Middle Village was given its name because it was midpoint between points on the East River and Jamaica. The area was served by a trolley, which was replaced by the B53 bus in 1949.

One of the last surviving landmarks of old Middle Village was Niederstein’s, a hotel at what became 69-16 Metropolitan Ave. Officials didn’t file and keep records in the 19th century like we do today, but the building is estimated to have gone up in 1835. New wings were added over the years.

Deputy Inspector Miltiadis Marmara, commanding officer of the NYPD’s 113th Precinct, found it very difficult to talk about plummeting crime statistics on Monday night.

For many who live around Jamaica Bay, life has been separated into two eras: before Hurricane Sandy and after.

The significance of last October’s storm on the history of the bay and its surrounding communities was clear during the premiere of the trailer for “Jamaica Bay Lives,” a documentary produced by Dan Hendrick, vice president for external affairs at the League of Conservation Voters and an author who penned a book about Jamaica Bay.

Captain Hank Sautner, the commanding officer of the 102 Precinct, opened Tuesday’s meeting of the community council by discussing an incident that occurred outside of his jurisdiction, the shooting death of D’aja Robinson in South Jamaica last weekend.

“These tragedies are unfortunate, but these are the tragedies we work to prevent,” Sautner said, reminding the audience in the basement of the Richmond Hill library to be vigilant and careful.

It doesn’t say all that much for our political situation when it’s worth going out of our way to congratulate an honest politician. But that’s how it is.
