Below this italicized introductory note are the texts of that issue's stories as well as its graphics and photos. First is the story -- "Five Promoted to Warden III Rank" -- that appeared on Page 1 of the newsletter. That text here begins beneath an image of its orginial headline that was set in an Optima typeface.

Also on that page is a copy of the stand-alone image box -- a grayscale photo having its own headline and story caption, related to a memorial plaque, all enclosed within its own border.

Above is a downsized copy of the grayscale standard head for the Commissioner's Report, a regular month column of commentarn, a different topic each issue..

I want to report on our efforts to be a good neighbor in Astoria. An informal Rikers Island Task Force has been formed to hear and deal with concerns expressed by residents. It meets every five or six weeks in my Rikers conference room. Special Counsel John J. Meglio presides.

Typically attending are representatives from DOC, DOT, Queens Borough President, Community Bd. 1, Council Speaker Vallone, 114th Pct., Office of the Mayor, Astoria Heights Association, Assemblyman Denis J. Butler, State Sen. George Onorato and LaGuardia Airport management.

Above image is a copy of the stand-alone text box -- a bold face, italicized larger than usual size text -- inserted into the Commissioner's Report to focus attention on a particular point in the monthly essay.

One recent agenda item has been plans for an Automatic Teller Machine in the Rikers Control Building for use by staff. A request for submission of bids is being drafted. We hope convenient ATM access will relieve traffic congestion that has concerned our neighbors.

We also are investigating the possibility of having a Rikers check cashing service on pay days. It appears that such a firm already serving the city in several areas might be willing to extend its contract to cover Rikers on pay days. We have requested approval of this idea from the appropriate office and are awaiting a response.

On a matter of perennial interest, we shared with the Task Force the findings by city-retained consultants who recently completed a study on possibly reviving Rikers ferry service. They found capital cost and operating expenses would far exceed any potential benefit.

The Task Force has ongoing discussions concerning traffic conditions. For example, the community objected to a traffic sign permitting right turns on red signals at Ditmars Blvd. and 81st St. This sign was recently removed. Wherever possible, we try to alleviate the Rikers traffic impact. A question arose concerning possible roadway development from the GCP to Rikers across a non-runway part of the airport. Though this idea has been much discussed over the years, we are again looking into it because we are willing to consider all ideas to improve Rikers traffic conditions.

The community has voiced some discontent concerning drop-off points for work release and other inmates leaving Rikers. We have taken corrective action on this and reported those steps at a recent Task Force meeting.

Above image is a copy of a Page 2 story about a 10-13 event to benefit a CO's daughter battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The event was also spotlighted in the Dateline Calendar on Page 3 (see image below).

While Correction as an agency actively strives to be a good neighbor in the community through the Task Force and by other means, ultimately the role of the individual employee is most important.

Our neighbors, as taxpayers, are also our employers. The residents have a right to expect courtesy, consideration and common decency from their civil servants. This is true in Astoria near Rikers; indeed, in any community adjacent to any of our facilities throughout the city.

I believe most members of the Department conduct themselves in adjacent areas with the proper decorum appropriate to the public service they have sworn to provide. They need no reminders that staff behavior must not be detrimental to the interests of the Department in maintaining good relations with the community.

We will not allow misconduct by a few to bring disrepute to the vast majority of our members. We will not let them undermine DOC efforts to be a good neighbor to all our adjacent communities throughout the city.

Above is an image of the January 1995 newsletter issue's Dateline Calendar.

Correction Dateline, a calendar of DOC-related events which were scheduled for that month, dominated Page 3 of the January 1995 Correction News Dateline issue.

The heading over the days of the week identified it as published by the NYC DOC Office of Public Information and provided the name of the editor and his 60 Hudson St., Manhattan, DOC headquarters office phone number.

Only six columns were allotted for the days of the week, with Saturdays and Sundays both sharing the sixth column. Three dollars in a date box signified "pay day."

Above image is a copy of the Page 3 cartoon in the Officer Lock-In series, drawn by C.O. A. G. Cuin, that had begun with the November 1993 issue of Correction News Dateline.

The calendar did not limit itself to Departmental events but also included events planned by recognized DOC affiliated organization.

For example, the January chart of dates included events sponsored by the Emerald Society, Guardians, Hispanic Society, Columbia Association, Correction Officers for Christ, the Maccabees, Women in Correction, the Correction Captains Association, among others.

If an affiliated group's events were missing from a particular month's calendar, the cause often could be traced to that organization not comunicating the information in time for publication.

Where a date box had sufficient space to include an organization's logo as well as the event data, it might be used but that graphic could be dropped to make room for an additional event.

The date boxes shared by Saturdays and Sundays were not always divided evenly. The division depended on which day had the more events to note.

Below the Page 3 calendar were short items, and the latest cartoon in the Officer Lock-In series, C.O. drawn, that had begun with the November 1993 issue of Correction News Dateline.

About 50 uniformed and civilian staffers were named Employees of the Month for October and November.
