New research from AAA shows too many senior citizen drivers are not having conversations about when they should stop driving.AAA says that by the year 2030, 1 in 5 drivers will be over the age of 65, which is why the company is urging people to have conversations with their older family members sooner rather than later.According to the study, 83 percent of older drivers report never having a conversation with family or a doctor about their safe driving ability.  The report states that those who do only do so after being involved in a crash or other driving incidents.AAA recommends having conversations with seniors before you start seeing red flags.Here are things to keep in mind when beginning a dialogue with your loved one:Start early and talk often. Make sure you stay positive, and make sure they know the focus is on their own safety.Avoid generalizations about older drivers¡¯ abilities.Have a one-on-one conversation. Doing it with the entire family can make a driver feel alienated.Stick to facts. Focus on a medical condition or medication that might make driving unsafe, and don¡¯t assume their driving should be stopped altogether.Plan together. Let the driver play an active role in planning for their ¡°driving retirement.¡±In 2016, more than 200,000 senior drivers were injured in traffic crashes. AAA says by starting the conversation early, we can all help to make sure our own loved ones don¡¯t become a statistic.  1464

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The New York Police Department has launched a first-of-its-kind task force to tackle the rise in hate crimes committed against Asian Americans amid the COVID-19 pandemic.¡°I¡¯m from Malaysia but I¡¯ve been here 30 some years,¡± Mei Chau explained from her loft apartment in New York City.Chau is a chef and owner of Aux Epices, a French Malaysian restaurant in New York¡¯s Chinatown. ¡°It¡¯s actually a French name. It¡¯s called with spice.¡±Due to COVID-19, regulations and a lack of tourists, Chau was forced to close her doors in June.¡°At the same time, I'm also glad that I closed because of the difficulty that I have to face,¡± she explained. Aux Epices is just one of the many businesses lining Chinatown¡¯s streets that¡¯s been hit hard, in more ways than one.¡°When the first news came out saying, Oh this came from China, of course right away we¡¯re like, oh is this going to affect us?¡± Chau explained. ¡°And of course it affected us.¡±Chau says businesses in Chinatown started closing, one by one.¡°As with any pandemic, we have people that would like to blame another group for the issue and this time is no exception,¡± said Wellington Chen, Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership. ¡°We understand, we¡¯re sensitive to the pain, the loss, the death and the loss of job, the economic devastation. But we are in it just as much as anybody else.¡±Chen said Chinatown doesn't have enough visitors to recover. Normally packed streets are empty, but worry over another issue fills the air.¡°The number of anti-Asian harassment or hate crime has risen since the pandemic broke in Wuhan,¡± he said.That didn¡¯t go unnoticed.¡°As far as I know, we are the first police department to have an Asian hate crime task force,¡± said Stewart Loo, the Commanding Officer of the New York Police Department¡¯s Asian Hate Crime Task Force. The unit was announced in May to tackle the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans. The agency has investigated 26 cases this year, up from three last year.It¡¯s something Officer Loo has personally experienced. ¡°When I was 7 years old, I immigrated to America with my mom and my dad. When we got here, my dad took a job delivering Chinese food in Manhattan North, and during his time here, on more than one occasion, he was a victim of robbery,¡± he said. ¡°We had to go through the process on the other side without having somebody that speaks our language.¡±¡°There is a lot of mistrust in the police department, especially in the Asian community, where the general public doesn't like to get involved too much even when they are victims of a crime,¡± Task Force Officer Jacky Wong said.They both explained breaking down the language barrier will help, as it did in Officer Wong¡¯s first case.¡°I spoke to her in Cantonese, so I built a little rapport with her,¡± he said. ¡°She was able to give us information that led to identifying those two suspects, which led to their apprehension.¡±¡°I¡¯m glad the city is sending out this task force,¡± Chau said. ¡°I won¡¯t venture out to some place I¡¯m not familiar, because it is, the fear it's there.¡±Not everyone believes police involvement is the right answer.¡°I think that the task force might be a band aid solution for the problem," said Jennifer Wang, Deputy Director of Programs for the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. The organization was one of 26 Asian American organizations in New York that signed a letter saying they were against the creation of the task force.¡°The problem at its core might actually be that Asian Americans, we are a community of color and it¡¯s very hard to trust that law enforcement will protect us,¡± Wang said.¡°Personally I would have never called the police in any of these situations I have encountered,¡± said Allison Park, also part of the Women¡¯s Forum. She shared a few of her experiences from back in February. ¡°I was on the subway and a group of I believe to be middle schoolers started coughing on each other and began shoving each other toward me. This really would not have been as big of a deal for me if it hadn't been for two prior incidents I had in San Francisco and [Washington] D.C.¡± she said.The task force aims to create a better, more understanding culture around reporting hate crimes.¡°This is absolutely very important for people that are victimized to come forward and press charges, because you could prevent another hate crime down the road,¡± Wong said.¡°To change people¡¯s mind is not one day to another,¡± Chau said. 4470

NEW YORK ¡ª New York City residents may not be able to eat inside their favorite restaurant until next year.Restrictions around the rest of the state have been eased, but New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is holding off on lifting restrictions on a number of indoor activities."If folks miss the theater, if they miss, you know, the indoor dining, those things will be back," he said Monday. "They'll be back next year at some point. I think that is overwhelmingly the case."He pointed to indoor dining and drinking at bars as a source of the spread of coronavirus cases around the world, but members of the restaurant industry are outraged.They pointed to a Bronx IHOP just across from a Panera Bread that's in Westchester County. Under current restrictions, the IHOP can't have customers, but the Panera Bread has been seating customers inside for more than a month.NYC Hospitality Alliance Executive Director Andrew Rigie warned that workers' livelihoods are at stake."The other week it was, we may not open until we have a vaccine. Then it's we may not open until the new year," Rigie said.The NYC Hospitality Alliance may pursue legal action over the issue. Rigie pointed to restaurants in just over the Queens-Long Island border in Nassau County that are open for indoor dining."Right now, you can sit indoors at a diner in Nassau county, but basically across the street in Queens, you can't," he said. "You can do the same thing in the Bronx. If you go into Westchester County, people are eating indoors. So is COVID somehow different there? I don't think so."Scott Hart, co-owner of 44 & X in Hell's Kitchen, said he was surprised by de Blasio's remarks on reopening Monday."It just doesn't seem like there was a real plan," he said. "To hear that today makes me feel like I don't know how we're going to make it through the winter."Hart spent money to create an outdoor seating area and is currently operating at 35 percent, but he's worried about the weather since colder temperatures are around the corner."If we close because of cold weather, what are we going to do? Put everybody in furlough again for five months again until spring? You know, it's really hard to start and stop and start and stop," he said.Outdoor dining isn't sustainable for his business, he said.De Blasio said he feels for the hurting business owners, but said he couldn't provide a specific reopening timeline."I've never for a moment felt anything but sympathy that these folks have built these businesses, often family businesses, that took immense hard work are suffering so much right now," de Blasio said.This story was originally published by Cristian Benavides and Aliza Chasan on WPIX staff in New York City. 2711
