NYPD: 2019 crime stats on record pace Murders, robberies and major crime down in boro; rapes, shootings up by Michael Gannon Editor

verall crime statistics are down in both the city and Queens for the first half of 2019, though both police officials and Mayor de Blasio said Monday that the record numbers still require unending vigilance. “We, the NYPD, and all New Yorkers can’t ever take this progress for granted,” Commissioner James O’Neill said at a press conference in Manhattan. “There’s still a lot of work to be done here and in every borough throughout the city.” In a text of the press conference issued by de Blasio’s office, O’Neill said citywide year-todate shootings are up about seven percent over the first six months of 2018, but that they have been focusing on violent hot spots. But every other major crime has seen a reduction in the first six months of this year, led by a 13.5 percent drop in murders, from 156 last year to 135 this year through June 30. “I’ll remind everyone that this historic crime low New York City sees today, it’s absolutely not promised for tomorrow,” O’Neill said. “Right now after six months the safest big city in America is even safer,” de Blasio said. Chief of Department Terence Monahan spoke of numbers unimaginable even a few years go. “Overall citywide crime for the first six

compared to last year. That’s approximately 17,300 fewer arrests. These historic reductions also extend to several specific crime categories for this six-month period.” Monahan put the 21 fewer murders into

historical perspective. “For context, just 10 years ago, there were 206 murders for the six-month period, 34 percent more than this year,” he said. Other categories with record lows year-to-date include robbery, down 6.8 percent, burglary, down 13.4, and grand larceny auto, down 9.5. Also down citywide are rape (2 percent), felonious assault (1.9) and grand larceny (4). “I am concerned with the amount of shootings that have been occurring in this city,” Monahan said. “Shooting incidents are up for the first six months of 2019, versus 2018. There have been 361 shooting incidents compared to 337 in 2018. That’s 24 more incidents than last year, or an increase of 7.0 percent.” The chief did add that the figure still represents the third-lowest number of shootings for a six-month period since CompStat began in 1994 and the third year in a row that the city has seen fewer than 400 shootings for the sixmonth period. “Prior to 2016, we had never been under 400 incidences for this time period, and there were 545 shooting incidents for the first six months of 2015,” Monahan said. He added that 51 percent of all shootings citywide, or 185, have been gang-related; 37 of the shooters who have been identified are on parole or probation; and that 54 of the victims continued on page 22

Buzzing Howard Beach from above New JFK commuter flights fuel sharp spike in helicopter traffic by Michael Shain Editor

The late newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin actually invented a name for the overhead airplane noise that was so loud people had to stop talking until it passed. He called it the “Howard Beach pause.” In recent weeks, there is a new conversation killer in the skies above Howard Beach — helicopters carrying commuters from Manhattan to JFK Inter national Airport. Since May, residents of the neighborhood say, what used to be a few, low-flying copters a day have turned into a procession of five or six per hour, swooping over homes heading for the airport. “The planes went away and the copters came to take their place,” said Peter McMahon, a contractor who lives in Old Howard Beach. “The amount of noise coming from these copters is absurd.” The source of the heavy new traffic appears to be several new commuter helicopter services that launched in the last three months, offering to ferry passengers from Manhattan to JFK for just $200. According to the websites for the new services, the helicopter ride takes only eight minutes, compared to an hour or more via taxi. “Was in my yard on the 4th and saw more than a dozen in the course of midafternoon until dusk,” Howard Beach resi-

An ad from the Gotham Air website offers first-time users of the helicopter commuter service a $99 flight to JFK. Just when airplane noise over Howard Beach was on the decline, uncontrolled FLYBLADE.COM helicopter traffic is becoming a nuisance, residents say. dents Chris Wierzbicki said in an email to the Chronicle, which included photos of helicopters buzzing overhead. “Some were much lower, larger and faster than others.” State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) said complaints about helicopter

traffic began to trickle into his office in early summer. “My concern is that unregulated air traffic will end up like unregulated TLC service,” he said. “We started to regulate [ride-sharing services such as Uber] way too late.”

Unlike airplanes f lying over the city, which must adhere to certain routes, the New York Helicopter Chart, a network of elective helicopter routes, allows helicopters to operate over the city without talking to air traffic control, according to a spokesma n for the Federal Aviation Administration, which administers the control towers at JFK and LaGuardia Airport. “Helicopters volu nt a r ily f ly these routes [but] they do not have to fly these routes,” the spokesman said. In years past, helicopter traffic in and out of JFK chose to f ly over the nearby B elt Pa r k w ay t o avoid d i s t u r bi n g neighborhoods. But traffic this summer has jumped sharply, according to the FAA. Apparently, the ride-sharing business model behind Uber and Lyft is starting to take hold in the helicopter business. Blade was the f irst to offer crowdsourcing rides to the airport for $195 a seat. Before then, commuters had to rent a helicopter by the hour to make the trip. Gotham Air followed shortly after, offering first-time commuters a ride for $100. Earlier this month, Uber began offering its best customers helicopter service to the airports for $200. The service will shortly be expanded and rebranded as Uber EleQ vated, the company said.

Bill proposed over candidate dropouts Addabbo wants voting machines to reject ballots for someone not in race by David Russell

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Associate Editor

State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. introduced a bill that would require voting machines to reject ballots containing a vote for a candiFILE PHOTO date that has withdrawn from the race.

Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows) dropped out of the race for Queens district attorney several days before the Democratic primary but still received more than 1,000 votes. In response, state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) introduced bill S.6618, which would require voting machines to reject ballots that contain a vote for a candidate who has officially withdrawn from a race prior to the election date and allow voters another chance to cast their ballot for someone still in the race, if they wish. “I feel that all voters should be fully informed of all the active candidates in a race for political office,” Addabbo said in a statement. “Voters should know when they cast a vote for a candidate that has officially dropped out of the race and have the opportunity to fill out another ballot for a different candidate that is still running, if they so choose.” The bill would amend election law to provide voters with a notice indicating that the individual they voted for is no longer a candidate and they could complete a new ballot. The New York State Board of Elections would be authorized to publicize rules, regulations and programming necessary to implement this amendment to the election law.

“When Councilman Lancman dropped out of the Queens District Attorney race just four days before the election, I believe a lot of voters weren’t aware of the change and still voted for him on Election Day, when they may have wanted to vote for someone else if they knew he was no longer an active candidate,” Addabbo added. “With my bill, voters would get the opportunity to fill out a new ballot and ensure their vote is cast for an active candidate, or they can leave their vote the way it was if they please. My bill is aimed at giving voters the most up-to-date information on the candidates to ensure that their vote goes to someone who is still on the ballot.” Lancman received more votes than candidates Jose Nieves and Betty Lugo. Joann Ariola Shanks, chairwoman of the Queens Republican Party, believes the bill has merit. “When they drop out ... Joan and John Q. Citizen, who are not really plugged in, they don’t know,” she said. “They missed the newscast or they didn’t see it in the paper that week. So they don’t know. “They go and they vote. And they’re like, ‘Oh, I know Rory Lancman.’ Sometimes it’s just name recognition.” If passed, the bill would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2021. Q

What we know about DA election First, it’ll take weeks to determine winner of Katz-Cabán showdown by Michael Shain Editor

The race for the Democratic nomination for Queens district attorney has seen more twists and turns in the past two weeks than the Jackie Robinson Parkway. Just 16 votes out of nearly 90,000 cast separate Borough President Melinda Katz from Tiffany Cabán, who trails at this point. The arduous task of recounting all the ballots, the largest city recount in modern times, started this week. How long before we know who won? No one can say for sure, but the lawyer for the Board of Elections estimates about two weeks. Some 50 staffers are working 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., six days a week to complete the task of counting by hand approximately 89,000 ballots — 85,000 cast in the voting machines on primar y day, 3,500 absentee ballots and 443 affidavit votes deemed valid by the BOE. A judge from Brooklyn, John Ingram, was transferred to Queens temporarily to decide any disputes between the two campaigns over the count. Such transfers are unusual but not unheard of in election cases, specifically to avoid any appearance of political conflict. Why are they recounting the vote? When the BOE counted all the absentee ballots the day before Independence Day, Cabán’s 1,090-vote lead on primary night evaporated and Katz crept ahead by a mere

20 votes (later reduced to 16 by some affidavit ballots). Any election decided by less than half a percentage point automatically triggers a voting machine recount under state law. (The margin here, by the way, is 0.00018 percent.) How’s it done? On Tuesday, at the BOE’s storage facility on Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village, 771 sealed voting machines used to optically scan paper ballots were opened. The paper ballots, stored in blue boxes, were carried to any of 16 tables set up on the first floor of the facility. Two staffers stationed at each table opened them, removed the ballots and showed the empty box to two volunteers, one from each campaign, who watch the count. It took two days this week to empty the boxes and sort the ballots by election district. O n T hu r s d ay, t h e actual process of recounting is set to begin. What’s next? When the recount is complete, the margin of victory for Katz or Cabán will be critical. The recount will determine 400 ballots cast on primary day that were not picked up by the machines. If a voter failed to fill in the circle next to a candidates name but instead, say, circled the name or wrote a check mark in the box, the optical scanner would not have recorded the vote. In a court hearing this week, lawyers for both campaigns agreed they would accept

At the Board of Elections storage facility in Middle Village, each blue box contains the ballots filled out by voters on election day, ready for a recount. The next issue is whether 114 affidavits PHOTOS BY MICHAEL SHAIN without party affiliation filled in, left, will be counted. any “clear indication” of voter preference on the unrecorded ballots. If Katz is still ahead by a slim margin at the conclusion of the recount, the Cabán campaign is expected to ask Ingram to take up the question of 14 affidavit ballots thrown out by the BOE last week. The affidavits were invalidated because voters neglected to write in Democrat in the space calling for party enrollment. Lawyers for the two campaigns are due back in court July 24. Is there any evidence of tampering with the results? Supporters of Cabán, stung by her sudden

reversal of fortune, have questioned the establishment Democrats’ hold on the election process. The Queens County Democrats appoint both the leadership of the BOE and most of the judicial candidates for the county courts who would rule on any disputes. If Cabán’s fans have leveled accusations against the regular Democrats on social media, the campaign itself has not. “We haven’t seen any maleficence in this process,” a lawyer for the Cabán campaign, Renee Paradis, told Gothamist this week. “We can’t control what people say on Q Twitter.”

Dems strike back at vote rig charges Cabán used ‘Trump-like tactics’ to undermine recount, says Meeks by Michael Shain

Rep. Gregory Meeks, the Queens Democratic party, railed against suggestions the DA vote count is “tainted.” PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN

After two weeks of vague charges by supporters of district attorney candidate Tiffany Cabán that the Queens regular Democrats are scheming to steal the election, leaders of the party this week struck back — denouncing the charges as “Trump-style politics” and calling her backers “outsiders” and “interlopers.” Just as the slow-speed election heads into an unprecedented recount due to its closeness, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens, Nassau), the head of the Democratic Party in Queens, gathered more than 50 party leaders and lawmakers on the steps of the Board of Elections headquarters on Queens Boulevard to defend the party against allegations it had somehow “tainted” the vote count in favor of the party-endorsed candidate, Borough President Melinda Katz. “The process is fair,” Meeks told a news conference. “Everybody knows the rules.” At issue are the seesaw results of the election so far. On election night, Cabán appeared the winner by 1,090 votes. But after a count of the 3,500 absentee ballots a week later, Katz popped into the lead by a shaky, 16-vote margin. That’s when Cabán supporters began to question the count.

Meeks carefully avoided attacking Cabán personally for throwing doubt on the integrity of the process, saying “look at the people behind her.” But “if you have people running around on Twitter or elsewhere with false conspiracy theories, then you do have the responsibility to stand up and say: ‘That’s not correct.’” Others in the party leadership were less deferential. Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows), who dropped out of the DA’s race and threw his support to Katz days before the election, scored the Cabán campaign for “car[ing] more about Southeast California than Southeast Queens.” The theme of Cabán supporters as “outsiders” rang through the news conference. “It is a terrible thing happening to our communities when you have interlopers, where 80 percent of contributions is coming from people outside the state,” said state Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans). A spokesman for Cabán directed requests for comment to a statement on the campaign’s website. “While we have not found any evidence of fraudulent activity committed by the BOE,” it said. “we have found that a significant number of invalidated votes were wrongly discounted Q by the BOE.”

One of the main recommended treatments for severe arthritis pain is invasive joint replacement surgery with its possible severe complications. It is best to seek out a nonsurgical solution for arthritis before undergoing surgery. The best non-surgical treatment to avoid an invasive joint replacement is Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell treatment.

Platelet Rich Plasma

Page 7 QUEENS CHRONICLE, Thursday, July 11, 2019

Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease causing severe pain, inﬂammation and disability.

Platelet Rich Plasma is a high concentration of the patient’s platelets concentrated by a special type of centrifuge. The platelets contain a signiﬁcant number of proteins and growth factors that accelerate the healing process and decrease inﬂammation. They are also known to multiply and cause migration of stem cells to the site of injury.

Stem Cells Adult stem cells remain in an individual after birth in a “neutral” state. When activated they can diﬀerentiate and aide in cartilage repair, tendon defects and ligament tissue. Also, they have the ability to control inﬂammation. Stem cells can be found in all the tissues of the body with major reservoirs in adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow.

Procedure ➤ Platelet Rich Plasma is beneﬁcial for mild to moderate arthritis. Blood would be drawn from the patient and placed in a specialized centrifuge. Subsequently, the platelet rich plasma is injected under ultrasound guidance to the exact location of injury. ➤ Stem Cells are derived from adipose (fat) tissue and /or bone marrow. Stem cells combined with platelet rich plasma is beneﬁcial for moderate to severe arthritis. Subsequently, an ultrasound guided injection would be performed for 100% accuracy.

The success rate is high and extremely safe. If you desire to be free of pain, return to your enjoyable sport activities, take long walks with your loved ones and avoid invasive joint replacement surgery ...

P Crime amazingly drops more

EDITORIAL

t simply cannot be overstated: The reduction in violent crime in New York City over the last 30 years is the most amazing improvement in society in our lifetimes. In 1990 the city saw 2,245 homicides. The number has been collapsing ever since. This year there have been 135 so far, putting us on track for 270 by year’s end. This would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago. It marks a 13.5 percent drop even from just last year, when there had been 156 up until this point. Mayor de Blasio, as he travels the country on his quixotic bid to be president, has every right to brag that New York is, as he has long said, the safest big city in America. Take Chicago for comparison. So far this year, 250 people have been killed there — in a city with one-third the population of New York. The equivalent here would be about 750, more than five times the actual numbers so far. In Queens the number of homicides has fallen modestly, from 29 up to this point last year to 27 so far in 2019. Just about every precinct has seen the number fall or remain close to what it was in 2018, except for the

AGE

115th in western Queens, where killings have gone up from one to five. And while homicide remains the most important measure, just about every other “index crime,” those police keep track of in the Compstat system, is down too. Citywide, police say, robbery is down 6.8 percent; burglary down 13.4 percent; car theft down 9.5 percent; rape down 2 percent; felonious assault down 1.9 percent; and grand larceny down 4 percent. All of this is to be celebrated. It’s simply not the same New York it once was. And as for the idea that police discourage people from reporting crimes to keep the numbers down, sure, that happens, but you can’t hide homicides. The drop in the murder rate proves that crime is seriously down. The men and women of the Police Department get the lion’s share of the credit — and the thanks of the people — for this great development. Also deserving of credit are every mayor going back to David Dinkins, just about all of their police commissioners and the prosecutors in each borough who put the bad guys in prison when they got caught. It falls to us to continue the trend.

Another toll hike Dear Editor: I am not sure how many people in all of New York read the little article in the Queens Chronicle on June 27 (multiple editons): “Port Authority submits toll hike proposals” again? What is going on with this agency and all of New York officials? Do they think that everyone who lives in New York is rich? That they can just raise the toll again and no one would care? Well, I care — that is why I am writing this so that everyone can read it and knows what is going on. ALL the toll crossings will go up from $15 to $16, a jump of $1 collected from all the thousands of people that use these roads and bridges. E-ZPass users will see their tolls go up from $10.50 to $11.75 for off-peak hours — a jump of $1.25 for the thousands of people who use these roads and bridges. E-ZPass users will see their tolls go up from $12.50 to $13.75 for peak hours — a jump of $1.25 for the thousands of people who use these bridges and tunnels. I guess they think that no one cares about these increases, but multiply them by the thousands of people who use these bridges and tunnels and you are talking oodles and oodles of money going to the PA again.

Every vote counts

he ongoing count in the race for Queens district attorney shows how fortuitous it was that primaries were moved up to June from September. As of press time, only 16 votes separated the two leading candidates in the Democratic primary held June 25, with Borough President Melinda Katz in the lead over public defender Tiffany Cabán. We back Katz, believing Cabán’s policies would mark too radical a shift away from the law-and-order approach of late District Attorney Richard Brown. But however, the tally plays out, we’re sure glad there’s plenty of time between now and the general election — time for any candidate challenging the eventual Democratic nominee to raise money and get his or her message out there, and time for more voters to become aware of the race and pick their favorite. Turnout in the primary was abysmal, and it’s vital that most Queens voters have their say in November. District attorney, a position with no term limits is simply too important a post for a small share of electorate to make a decision on.

E DITOR

users because too many people are using E-ZPass now so we can just lower the discount from $4.50 to $4.25 off peak — $.25 collected from all the thousands of people who have E-ZPass. And the discount will fall from $2.50 to $2.25 in peak hours — $.25 collected from the thousands of people who use E-Z Pass. In this article the increases do not sound too bad, but do the math. All these $1, $1.25 and $.25 increases times the thousands of hardworking New Yorkers who have to use these bridges and tunnels add up. Do not think of it as just one person; I am talking about thousands and thousands of people who use these bridges and tunnels. Even if you do not work and live in Staten Island, how much would this increase the tolls collected by the PA? Do the math. Take me, for example. I like to go to the Jersey Shore or visit my grandchildren and sister down south — how much more will I have to pay? That is why I say do the math! It is not just one person. It is thousands and thousands of

people, truck drivers, delivery vans and yes, even buses. Price congestion is coming in 2020 — a tax any way you want to word it, and they have no idea how much that will be. The MTA will probably say that the revenue from price congestion is not enough; we need to raise our fares and the PA is going to try to raise their tolls. When are New Yorkers going to say enough is enough. Someone has to speak out for us! Where are our politicians who speak out for everyone else except for the people that live here? The meeting is on Tuesday, July 30 at 7 p.m. at the Port Authority Building 14 at JFK. How nice of them to have the meeting at JFK when most people get out of work at 5 p.m. and get in their cars to take the Van Wyck Expressway.

Not concentration camps Dear Editor: “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are,” quipped 14th District Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC stirred up the world’s most gruesome imagery to whip her nihilist brigade into a fury. Migrants, aided by well-trained progressives, willfully amassing at our border, demand entry and benefits, meet lawyers and media, but are equivalent to Jews forcibly herded into ghettos, stuffed into cattle cars with accruing corpses, brutal concentration camp guards shoving them with or without their children toward Zyklon B chambers or slave labor. AOC’s political point is incredibly “disproportionate.” Her district’s Nazi concentration camp survivors are callously retraumatized. Worse is the silence of the adults in AOC’s Democratic room. Lowest are Democrats in an increasingly antisemitic Democratic Party justifying her comments. Innocents forcibly removed home, a crazed violent hell suffused with arm-numbered slaves, human ash, mountains of children’s shoes — AOC’s inner world is too rigid for such images. AOC, witness the real concentration camp experienced by your district’s holocaust survivors. Take your Democratic presidential hopefuls, herd them into comfortable jets to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. AOC’s, Omar’s and Tlaib’s unchecked antisemitic images trigger antisemites. Hate crimes against Jews in NYC are up 82 percent in 2019, over 50 percent of hate crimes target Jews. Our community sees the Democratic leadership falter. Thanks to those sane leaders who unequivocally condemned AOC’s disproportionate imagery. Caring for undocumented persons and their taxpayer hosts requires compassionate realitybased policies set by leaders caring more about constituents than about careers. Justice Democrats choosing career over values in ominous times — thoughtful caring voting Americans are calling you out! Howard Neiman Hillcrest

Dear Editor: How many times is the Chronicle basically going to “reprint” Ed Konecnik’s diatribe claiming that Americans aren’t “entitled” to their “entitlements”? (“Truth, justice, Judge Judy,” June 27). Redistribution of wealth has already occurred, twice. First with DUHbya, and now with Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy. Must I repeat the fact that CEOs used to earn 30 times the salary of their average employee? Now, in some cases they earn more than 500 times that worker’s salary — while cutting benefits and retirement funds all to satiate corporate stockholders and award multimillion-dollar bonuses to executives. For any human being on the planet to believe that a person like Jeff Bezos “deserves” more money in one hour than an employee receives in 10 years is absolutely disgraceful. How have we gotten to this point? Lobbyists, unchecked political contributions continued on next page

Don’t starve wildlife Dear Editor: (An open Letter to New York City Council Committee on Parks and Recreation Chairman Peter Koo urging for an independent review on NYC Parks’ proposed ban on feeding birds and squirrels in all of NYC’s Parks). Re Review Request on Parks’ Proposed Rule Change banning feeding birds & squirrels in NYC Parks. Bronx Animal Rights Electors is campaigning against the NYC Parks proposed ban on feeding birds and squirrels in NYC Parks. We held several rallies, social media action alerts as well as received media coverage. What is tragic is the deiberate eradication of NYC wildlife. From the roundups, deliberate removal of habitat and food, as well as now the proposed ban on feeding birds and squirrels. Many parks in our city no longer plant the native trees that offer more bugs for our birds or the trees that bear seeds and nuts for our squirrels. Many parks use pesticides that not only kill insects that birds rely on but also do harm on our wildlife that forage in the grass. Just recently, the vegetation in Jackie Onassis Reservoir in Central Park was removed and the gosling will most likely starve as they did in prior years. Parks and the Mayor’s Office have made several assertions with NO data that our birds and squirrels are aggressive, that the few feeders that do exist bring rats to the parks and that they cause the birds and/or squirrels to be ill. First, with over 8 million residents and 60 million annual visitors to our city, there has been NO death or serious injury caused by any of our birds or squirrels in our parks. Second, all the permitted concessions, barbecuing and eating in the parks is what brings rats not the seniors with their bread crumbs. Lastly, due to scarce natural food sources, the birds and squirrels resort to plastic and trash that makes them ill. Now that we have you as our new Parks chairperson, we are hoping that the Committee on Parks and Recreation would at least have a review of this agency rule change. Not only because of the overwhelming opposition but because of the harm it will do on our birds and squirrels in our parks. During harsh winter when the water is frozen and the grounds is covered in snow, the birds and squirrels can’t forage and don’t freeze but die of starvation, a painful death. In the newly released United Nation Report, over 1 million species of animals, insects and plants are on the brink of extinction because of loss of habitat and insecticides. The report calls on us to Think Globally, Act Locally. We ask the City Council Committee on Parks and Recreation to act on the United Nation’s urgent call for the sake of our city as well as our planet. We ask for at least a democratic review on this proposed ban to address concerns and assertions made with no data or evidence before this ban is steamrolled despite overwhelming opposition.

LETTERS TO THE continued from previous page (the disgraceful Citizens United ruling) to Republicans and greed! Konecnik states “without the rule of law, we are subject to the rule of the mob.” Rule of law? Eleven of Oregon’s Senate Republicans fled the state last week to avoid a vote on a bill that would cap greenhouse emissions. Democrats had enough votes to pass the bill if the vote had been taken. But it’s not the first time Republicans walked out on a vote in Oregon. (In May, Republicans refused to vote on a tax package that would fund schools! They finally returned to session and promised to not walk out again. Ha!) The group, believed to be hiding in Idaho, left the state Senate with too few lawmakers to hold a vote. GOP militia announced they would hold a two-day “Rally to Take the Capitol.” Oregon State Police recommended the Capitol be closed due to the threat. GOP Sen. Brian Boquist actually said police officers who pursued them should be ready to die: “Send bachelors and come heavily armed.” After Oregon Gov. Kate Brown called on state troopers to return the lawmakers to the Capital, the paramilitary group the Oath Keepers posted this on Facebook: “Gov. Brown, you want a civil war, because this is how you get a civil war,” Beneath the post, Oath Keeper fans suggested arresting, taking up arms or hanging Brown.

E DITOR

There is your mob rule, Ed. The upcoming election “dilemma” Konecnik speaks of is not about redistribution of wealth. It’s about the redistribution of science, dignity, fairness, intelligence, equality, civil rights and social justice. It all happens with the swift removal of “private bone-spurs.” Robert LaRosa Whitestone

Trump and Kim Dear Editor: It all started with a tweet. Could North Korea’s Kim Jong-un meet him at the DMZ? Even President Trump realizes you have to walk before you can run. And believe it or not and like it or not down deep inside he does understand tact and diplomacy. Meet him at the DMZ? He even crossed the darned thing! No sitting president has ever done that. When even the pope, no Trump hater but I question his love for Trump, praises him for at least trying to take a step towards peace, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer and other Democrats are in a tizzy. They should all learn from Abraham Lincoln who once said, “’tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” Bill Viggiano Williston Park, LI

Less than two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a lower court has at least temporarily stopped an attempt to replace the government’s lawyers in the case. State Attorney General Letitia FILE PHOTOS James, right, is a vocal opponent of the question’s inclusion.

Trump sustains 2nd U.S. Census setback Federal judge rules DOJ can’t switch lawyers in citizenship question case by Michael Gannon

Editor

Demolition of the Shalimar The demolition of the Shalimar Diner at 63-68 Austin St. is underway. Plans to transport the longstanding eatery building to a hamlet in Riverhead, LI fell through because of zoning requirements, according to advocate Michael Perlman. A lawyer who grew up in the area, Ronald Hariri, planned on bringing the building to

Long Island, where he would reopen it as a brewery and diner. Former Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra would have been involved, helping promote the beer they were thinking of launching. But Hariri told the Chronicle in late June that he was struggling finding a spot for it because of zoning in the East End town.

A federal judge on Tuesday disallowed a request by the U.S. Department of Justice to replace attorneys who have been arguing the Trump administration’s case to include a citizenship question on the 2020 federal census. The New York Times and other published sources reported that U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman rejected a request by new counsel in the case until members of the existing legal team submit affidavits explaining the reason for their intended departures. It was the second legal setback for the administration’s case since June 27, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. Department of Commerce had not offered sufficient reasons for including the question in the census. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the reasons given appeared to have been contrived. The justices then ordered the case remanded to the district court from whence it came. On July 2 the government began printing materials without the citizenship question, until President Trump, in a tweet, expressed his disapproval, calling reports that they were dropping their efforts “FAKE.” Rumors had been running rampant in the last few days that the administration’s attorneys would either try to withdraw from the case or be replaced. New York State is a party to the lawsuit trying to stop inclusion of the question. A statement emailed to the Chronicle by state Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday was scathing. “Despite the president attempting to fire

his lawyers, this is not an episode of ‘The Apprentice,’” James wrote, referring to the president’s former reality show on NBC. “Judge Furman denied his request and required the Administration to comply with the rules regarding substitution of counsel.” Critics of the citizenship question assert it is an attempt by the Trump administration to drive down participation in the Census by immigrants both legally and illegally in the country, who might be fearful about providing the necessar y infor mation to the government. James and others have charged repeatedly that it is aimed at driving down numbers in blue states where immigrants tend to congregate, thus reducing the amount of federal funding and in some cases the number of congressional seats those states would have. The administration and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had argued that including of the question was requested by the Department of Justice in order to better enforce the federal Voting Rights Act, a contention Roberts, who joined the court’s liberal justices in the 5-4 ruling, found dubious based on documents seeking to include the question from before the DOJ request. Roberts wrote that the government’s rationale was “unknown, but unrelated to the Voting Rights Act.” Roberts added, however, that the Constitution does not in theory ban inclusion of the question in the census. U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Monday told the Associated Press that the administration is moving ahead with its Q efforts to include it.

Ex-legislative staffer challenging Maloney Race already has three candidates by Ryan Brady Editor

We are the champions! This is what girl power looks like in Little League uniforms. The Ozone Howard Little League Major Girls District Team ran onto the field clutching their championship banner after shutting out Staten Island’s Snug Harbor Team 5-0 on July 3. The Queens team clinched the best-ofthree, sectional-title series by winning two straight games against the previously undefeated Staten Island team. Next stop is the New York State Championship in upstate Fishkill, starting July 10. This is the first step for Ozone Howard on

its way to the Little League Softball World Series — the national championship of girls softball — in Portland, Ore. in August. Good luck, ladies! The team, above, includes, top row, Ashley Destefano, left, Ava Hersh, Melanie Synder, Marylou Piazza, Gia Spinelli, Ashley Dalo and, bottom row, Kimberly Piazza, left, Bre Sanchez, Alexa Nolan and Jovanna Donaruma Not shown are the team’s manager, Lou Piazza, and coaches Tiffani Spinelli and John Nolan. — Michael Shain

The June 2020 congressional primary elections are a little less than a year away, but the field has already been shaping up for months across the city. And, in what observers say is partially due to now-Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez’s (D-Queens, Bronx) historic win over former Rep. Joe Crowley last year, the list of insurgent progressive House candidates is growing. Former legislative staffer Erica Vladimer, 32, intends to unseat Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens). The lawmaker for 26 years has held the 12th Congressional District, which covers sections of Manhattan and Brooklyn, along with Long Island City, Roosevelt Island and parts of Astoria and Sunnyside. Vladimer, a Manhattanite, worked for the last three years as a lawyer and education analyst for the city Independent Budget Office. Before that, she worked as a junior policy analyst for the state Senate, resigning in 2015 after, she said, then-Sen. Jeff Klein forcibly kissed her outside a bar in Albany. Vladimer did not go public with her accusation until last year. As the head of the now-dead Independent Democratic Conference, he was one of the four most powerful men in state government for years. “Senator Klein shoved his tongue in my mouth,” she said. “I carried that shame with me for so long.” Klein has denied the allegation. The #MeToo movement inspired Vladimer to come forward, which she did after The New York Times broke its story about allegations of sexual assault and harassment against entertainment mogul Harvey Weinstein. Vladimer linked up with other women who used to work for the state Legislature and have accused its lawmakers of sexual harassment. She and six others formed the Sexual

Harassment Working Group, which has highlighted the issue and the lack of accountability for it in Albany. “We worked to get the Legislature to hold the first joint legislative public hearing on sexual harassment in the workplace in 27 years,” she said. If elected to Congress, Vladimer said, she would focus on improving the laws surrounding workplace harassment and discrimination, reforming the National Labor Relations Board and other workplace issues, like ensuring a livable minimum wage for tipped workers. The candidate disagreed with Maloney when the incumbent championed the laterscuttled HQ2 deal that Amazon struck with Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio. “Everything was done in a back room, the way it’s been done in New York for so long,” said Vladimer, adding that Amazon had no real interest in getting input from impacted residents. And, unlike Maloney, the challenger supported the Obama administration’s deal with Iran to prevent that country from building nuclear weapons. In an emailed statement to the Chronicle, Maloney campaign communications director Rachel Brody said, “Competition is good and a strong sign of the activism and energy in the Democratic Party right now.” Vladimer isn’t the congresswoman’s only challenger. Lauren Ashcraft, an activist whom the Chronicle tried to reach before deadline, is also running in the three-borough district’s Democratic primary race. Last year, Maloney fended off a primary challenge by activist and attorney Suraj Patel, winning with 59 percent to his 41. He has not officially filed to run in 2020 but has been mentioned in reports as likely to be a NY-12 candidate again, according to City and State. Q

Float your boat at Jamaica Bay Fest If it’s on the water — from fishing to kayaking — it’s on the schedule by Michael Shain Editor

It’s one thing to drive by the great Jamaica Bay, look out the window and whistle at its beauty. It’s another to plop your behind in a boat and go out on it, feel the water beneath you and wonder at its scale. The Jamaica Bay Festival this Saturday is giving people who rarely get to experience that feeling a chance to see what riding the water is really like. The festival is part of the City of Water celebration, a citywide event now in its 13th year, to promote New York’s waterways to the people who usually forget that, no matter where they live, a shoreline is only a few bus stops away. “We have an incredible waterfront in New York,” said Roland Lawrence of the Waterfront Alliance, the nonprofit environmental group that sponsors the huge New York harbor festival. “Once you are engaged with it,” he said, “you want it.” The alliance coordinates the day with scores of local groups, including the Jamaica

Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, which is hosting nearly a dozen different events for the festival this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. Among the activities on and around the bay are: • Take a three-hour kayak tour of the natural wonders of Jamaica Bay led Don Riepe, who, for 25 years, has been Jamaica Bay program director for the Littoral Society. It’s at Bay Breeze Park at Beach 88th Street and Beach Channel Drive, Rockaway Beach, starting at 11 a.m. • Learn how to fish from hooking up bait to casting a fishing rod. All ages are welcome, f ishing rods provided. It’ll be held at Bayswater City Park at Bay 32nd Street and Beach Channel Drive, Far Rockaway, at 11 a.m. • Tour Jamaica Bay’s own version of the Calypso, Jacques Cousteau’s famed research vessel. It’s called The R/V CUNY I, a stateof-the-art, 65 foot hybrid propulsion, aluminum catamaran, docked for the day at the foot of the Marine Park Bridge, on the bayside of Riis Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • Take a sunset sail around the bay aboard

Activist wants a total Citi Field smoking ban Phil Konigsberg of Bay Terrace says Mets should do what Yanks already have by Ryan Brady

The Yankees banned smoking at their stadium. And 15 other Major League Baseball teams have done the same. So, why haven’t the Mets? That question has lately been on health activist Phil Konigsberg’s mind. The Bay Terrace resident, who for years has dedicated himself to making the city smoke-free, says Citi Field is behind the times. “The Mets have not responded to any inquiries that I’ve made,” he told the Chronicle. “They continue to flunk this.” Konigsberg looked into whether it was legal for the team to allow smoking at Citi Field, finding that it was. The Smokefree Air Act prohibits smoking in city parks, though exceptions are made for parking lots within them and perimeter sidewalks surrounding them. Citi Field is within Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Smokeless tobacco in recreational areas that issue tickets and sports arenas is also banned by Local Law 42.

Smoking, including e-cigarettes and vaping, is also prohibited in enclosed areas and ticket viewing areas. But the designated smoking sections of Citi Field — at the Plaza Level, the Left Field Gate; at the Field Level, a center field staircase, and at the promenade level, on top of one of the ramps — do not fall within the areas where it’s banned. Any fan who smokes outside of those sections faces ejection, however. And, besides, the city’s lease with the Mets exempts Citi Field from complying with the Smokefree Air Act’s bans, according to an email from a Health Department official sent to Konigsberg. The Chronicle sent the Mets an email asking, among other questions, why the organization continues to allow smoking in Citi Field. A spokesman for the team did not answer the questions, instead just sending over the stadium’s policy on smoking and other tobacco products in response. According to the American Lung Association, secondhand smoke causes more than 41,000

deaths annually in the United States. Its effects are especially acute on those with health issues. Konigsberg has never smoked, but he says secondhand smoke is extremely difficult for people like him who still have struggled with lung disease. “It takes your breath away if you inhale it,” he said. “Luckily, I’m not exposed to it anymore now, although where I live in my apartment building, if someone next door to me starts smoking, I’ve got a major problem. It reduces your breathing capacity.” Konigsberg was also upset when he saw that Citi Field was listed as a tobacco-free ballpark on the website of the K nock Tobacco Out of the Park advocacy group, given that the Mets still have sections available for lighting up. Deidre Sully, director of Public Health Solutions’ NYC Smoke Free program, told the Chronicle her group would be willing to offer technical assistance to the Mets should they decide to totally Q ban smoking at Citi Field.

Mixed foreclosure numbers in Queens First-time filings down from 2018 by Michael Gannon Editor

First-time house foreclosure numbers in Queens offered mixed results according to a report released this week. PropertyShark, a website that covers residential and commercial real estate in major United States markets, reports that the borough recorded 324 foreclosures in the second quarter of 2019, a period covering April, May and June. The report, written by Robert Demeter, states that the number is down 9 percent from the 356 reported in the borough for the second quarter of 2019. It also is more than double the citywide decrease of 4 percent for the same time frame. But it also represents a slight uptick in Queens from the first quarter of this year, and marks the second straight period when there has been an increase in the borough. “Queens had the largest number of

first-time foreclosure cases among the 5 boroughs,” the report states. The 324 cases are a 3 percent increase over the numbers from January through March. A nd t he 11434 Z I P c o d e, wh ich includes some or all of Jamaica, South Jamaica, Rochdale and St. Albans, had the most new foreclosures in the borough this spring with 21. Brooklyn, with a 7 percent increase, and Staten Island, coming in at 9 percent, were the on ly t wo boroug hs to see increases over a year ago. Cases in the Bronx plummeted 24 percent year to date, while Manhattan stayed flat at 26 new cases in the quarter. The 847 cases in the city combined from April through June also represented a drop of 3 percent from the first quarter of this year.

First-time foreclosures for the second three months of 2019 increased sightly over the first quarter of the year, but still are below last year’s numbers. The Jamaica area continues to be the CHART COURTESY PROPERTYSHARK hardest-hit region in the borough.

Qns. residents in these nabes will live longest Residents of Elmhurst, Corona, Astoria and Woodside have an average life expectancy at birth of 86.3 years, the highest for any Queens neighborhoods, according to a new repor t f rom the cit y Health Department. The 2017 Summary of Vital Statistics identifies the Rockaways as the section of the borough with the lowest life expectancy at birth: 76.9 years. The city found the one for Astoria and Long Island City to be 83.6 percent; for Jackson Heights, 85.7 percent; for Glendale and Ridgewood, 81.7 percent; Rego Park and Forest Hills, 84.9 percent; the Flushing area, 84.7 percent; Fresh

City releases 2017 vital statistics summary Meadows and Briarwood, 84.4 percent; Woodhaven, 83.4 percent; Howard Beach, 81.9 percent; Bayside, 84.9 percent; Jamaica and St. Albans, 81.1 percent and Queens Village, 83.1 years. The 2017 Summary of Vital Statistics, a citywide report, found that life expectancy for New Yorkers has increased. As with those born in 2016, babies delivered in 2017 can expect to live 82.1 years, a one-year increase over babies born in 2008. Major disparities in lifespan exist,

though. Non-Hispanic black New Yorkers born in 2017 can only expect to live 77.3 years, the same number is 82.4 for Hispanic ones and 81.3 for non-Hispanic whites. “The city’s progress in improving health outcomes continues, but there is much work still to ensure equitable health outcomes for all New Yorkers,” Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot said in a prepared statement. “Closing the racial health equity gap requires closer alignment between public health, health care delivery and sectors

that affect health such as housing and the communities we serve.” The Health Department report also shows that premature deaths sharply went down in the city. In 2017, the age-adjusted premature death rate was 184.9 deaths per 100,000 people, a minor decrease from the previous year and a 14.9 percent one since 2008. In one striking finding, the agency discovered that births by women under 20 years old went down by 56.2 percent from 2008 to 2017. The rate declined by 65.1 percent in that period for women younger Q than 18.

Festival of Cinema NYC has everything The 10-day event will screen films at the Midway theater in Forest Hills by David Russell Associate Editor

The third annual Festival of Cinema NYC will take place from Aug. 2 through 11 as guests can enjoy more than 120 films at the Midway Theater in Forest Hills. “With over 420 incredible submissions from around the world, the programming team had many difficult decisions to make, having to reject films that would have made it into the festival back in 2017,” said Jayson Simba, founder and executive director of Festival of Cinema NYC. He said because of feedback received last year, there will be more short films as well as a student film block. New to the festival, thanks to a partnership with the NYC Indie Film Collective, is a “72 Hour Film Making Challenge,” in which the event will premiere the work of 12 filmmakers who were given 30 days to make a 7- to 10-minute film with the winner being announced at the awards ceremony on August 11. The festival picked 125 films out of more than 425 submissions from 40 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, South Africa, Turkey and others. Categories include narrative features, documentaries, short films, web series and

The movies feature some familiar faces. Jaleel White, best known for playing Steve Urkle on “Family Matters,” utters a curse as he spreads his father’s ashes on a mountain lake in Camilo Vila’s “5th of July,” which is having its East Coast premiere at the festival. A nd Lou Diamond Phillips, of “La

Bamba” and “Stand and Deliver” fame, stars in “Quest,” the story of an abused middle school student and sympathetic teacher, directed by Santiago Rizzo. “Quest” also features “Breaking Bad” actress Betsy Brandt and “Ray Donovan” actor Dash Mihok. The East Coast premiere of the movie will close the festival on August 10.

On Aug. 11, the festival’s awards celebration will be hosted by Queens Brewery in Ridgewood. There are also several special presentations that are free and open to the public at the Queens Museum and the Forest Hills Library. Other movies at the festival include “Batsh*t Bride,” the story of a bride pranking her fiancé that they should call off their wedding only to find out he feels the same way; “Bookweek,” in which a high school teacher sees his novel passed over for one written by a student of his; “We Were All Nobody’s,” a documentary about a rock club in Queens; and “The Ringmaster,” a documentary about an aging chef from Minnesota whose life changes when a filmmaker tires to make his onion rings world famous. The festival was founded by independent filmmakers in the area with a passion to get movies made and to expand the reach of the artists’ work. The festival’s aim is to establish a presence in and spread awareness of cinematic creativity throughout the borough. Tickets to the festival went on sale July 1 and are $16 for regular daily screenings. Opening, closing and the Film Challenge Red Carpet event are $25 and include entry into the after-parties following those screenings.

Arena critics get a new LIRR station Residents, officials in Eastern Queens secure rail service to offset traffic by Michael Gannon Editor

Among the demands that Queens officials have been making in return for their approval of a hockey arena and hotel at Belmont Park was a full-service, two-direction Long Island Rail Road station to help alleviate the traffic impact on the Cross Island Parkway and neighborhoods in Eastern Queens. Gov. Cuomo announced on Monday that they are getting one. The new station will be on the LIRR’s main line between the existing Bellerose and Queens Village stations. “The Belmont project will help drive the region’s economy forward while building the Islanders a state-of-the-art facility at home on Long Island, creating thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in economic output along the way,” Cuomo said in a statement issued by his office. The governor said it will be the first new LIRR station in more than 50 years. The project is intended to build an 18,000seat arena for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League; it will hold 19,000 for concerts. Also being planned are a 250room hotel and an upscale shoppers’ village. The aim is to have the Islanders in the new arena in time for the NHL’s 2021-22 season. The Empire State Development Corp. is teaming up on the project with New York Arena Partners, a consortium of developers that includes the Islanders ownership and Sterling Equities, which is controlled by the Wilpon family, owners of the New York Mets. The arena will be in Nassau County just east of the Cross Island Parkway. Civic leaders and elected officials on Queens’ eastern border have been alarmed from the start over

how much traffic could be generated both on the already-jammed CIP and in neighborhoods such as Queens Village and Cambria Heights. Queens officials appeared to be signing on. State Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) has said repeatedly that he would not support the project without an LIRR component. “This new station will not only be a boon to the redevelopment project, which will create 10,000 construction jobs and 3,200 permanent jobs, but also for commuters who are dealing with crowded conditions at the Queens Village and Bellerose stations and heavy traffic on the Cross Island Parkway,” Comrie said in Cuomo’s press release. Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D-Queens Village) said he was excited about the news. “Eastern Queens and the Elmont community have been in need for transportation alternatives for a very long time,” Vanel said. “Also, we are encouraged about the economic opportunities in the community.” In an email to the Chronicle on Tuesday, Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) believes the station improves the project. “Finding the nexus between smart economic development and robust community input is the path to long-term success in New York State,” Vallone wrote. “A new, full-time railroad station at Belmont Park will provide proper relief from existing traffic on the Cross Island Parkway and overcrowding conditions at other LIRR stations in the area.” And while the councilman said he is looking forward to the project and its economic benefits coming to fruition, Vallone is not going to settle for that alone. “Next up, an Islanders Stanley Cup!” he Q wrote.

Through July 7, there have been a combined 27 murders in the 16 NYPD precincts as opposed to 29 for the first six months of 2018. The NYPD divides Queens up between

Patrol Borough Queens North (108th, 109th, 110th, 111th, 112th, 114th and 115th precincts) and Queens South (100th, 101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th, 105th, 106th, 107th and 113th precincts). Through June 30, there were 190 reported rapes, up from 181 a year ago. Shooting statistics were not as drastic. There have been 57 incidents as opposed to 54 a year ago, but there has been one less shooting victim, with 69 as opposed to 70. Robberies in the borough have dropped steeply, down to 1,025 from last year’s total of 1,256. Auto thefts also have dropped noticeably, from 671 at the half-year point last year to Q 646 this year.

John Benfatti was with Transportation Alternatives before going to work for the Department of Transportation. He spoke to the Chronicle about bicycles in the city and how much has changed FILE PHOTO since the 1980s. doing. But I learned.” Benfatti acknowledged the DOT had a bicycle coord i n at or but he h ad not achieved as much as the bike community wanted him to. And, Benfatti admitted, he didn’t achieve as much as bike advocates wanted, either. “We were facing obstacles and we were trying to change ways of thinking,” he said. Benfatti formed a Bicycle Advisory Committee and invited members of various entities, including Transportation Alternatives and the NYPD, to get involved in planning and figuring out ways to address concerns. “There was community outreach; it’s just that when I was doing it the Department of Transportation didn’t take the Bicycle Advisory Committee very seriously,” Benfatti said. The federal government, through its Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, provided more money than usual for planning facilities for bikes and pedestrians. He was able to hire more staff members, as did the City Planning and Parks and Recreation departments. It was a desire for bicycling that got Benfatti started in the f irst place. He would also help others become involved through bike tours. He believes all the boroughs are viable for bike lanes but it’s not always easy getting people to agree with him. “I think the bicycle still has a bad rap, a negative image in New York City,” Benfatti said. He added, “Some people still consider them as reckless, as not following the law, going through red lights and causing danger to pedestrians and getting in the way of motor vehicle traffic. I think there’s a lot of that still around which is hard to overcome.” Benfatti remembered a nonprofit group proposing a Brooklyn-Queens greenway,

which would have linked green spaces from Coney Island to Fort Totten through Eastern Parkway, the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and Alley Pond Park. He said it was an “interesting plan” but to try to implement it meant a lot of bureaucracy. He said it has been “difficult” to implement on-street bike lanes. As part of his job, he would assess motor vehicle travel and if there was a negative impact on motor vehicles, he would not be allowed to do something. Another issue for Benfatti has been approval from community boards. “Community boards would accuse me of taking away parking spaces, which I never was allowed to do,” he said. “And I was never allowed to propose that to a community board, even. But regardless they would still accuse me of taking away parking spaces. It was very difficult to get community board approval which the department was requiring me to do at the time.” Benfatti said he was surprised how hostile people could be at first but “after a while I got used to it.” He added, “I did get some support but not a lot. And the people who supported me, especially at the higher levels in the Department of Transportation, didn’t last very long.” Benfatti believes it could have been their more forward thinking ideas that led to them not lasting. Now retired, Benfatti said, “I think the city’s on the right track now because they do have a fairly large bicycle planning staff.” However, he knows the DOT still has to overcome opposition to the bike lanes. “I think there’s still a long way to go,” he said. “People don’t really see the bicycle as a viable means of transportation, especially during inclement weather. So it’s going to take a lot to convince people that we should Q invest a lot of money into bicycling.”

A guide to affordable home improvement The holy grail of home improvement is a project that makes a big difference to the appearance or value of the home without breaking the bank. The key is to focus on low-cost, quality items that will give the most bang for your buck. Here are five to consider: • New bathroom countertop: Bathroom remodels still provide some of the best return on investment for home improvement projects, but can also be some of the most expensive. If you can’t afford a full bathroom overhaul, opt for one high-impact update. Replace that outdated laminate vanity countertop with a stone version to bring an immediate touch of class to the bathroom. This update can be completed quickly and, for homeowners with a little plumbing knowledge, could even be a DIY project. Refinished kitchen cabinets: Accord i ng to Home Advisor, replacing kitchen cabinets in a typical 10-by-10 kitchen costs an average $4,000-$13,000. For homeowners not able to make that type of investment, refinishing existing cabinets can provide a dramatic upgrade at a fraction of the cost. Homeowners can start by removing all cabinet doors and hardware,

keeping all hardware together in a bag in case it’s needed later. Cabinets with a glossy finish should be sanded, either with blocks or a chemical product, then either stained (consider an espresso finish for a modern look) or painted. Adding new, brushed metal fixtures completes the look. • Affordable roof update: For the biggest ROI on an improvement, look outside. Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost vs. Value Report revealed nine of the top 10 high-return remodeling projects were exterior replacement projects. Replacing a roof can sound overwhelming, but with some smart shopping can provide a major curb appeal boost on a budget. A common misconception is that expensive products equal better products. While that can certainly be true, there are lots of examples where the most expensive option is not the best choice for every consumer. This is certainly true in large home improvement projects, where the costs can run high and the consequences for purchasing subpar materials can be serious. But, homeowners can save money while protecting their investments by finding the low-cost leader in

the product category: a product that provides the best quality for the price point. • New door and porch decor: A new entryway can add major curb appeal to any home, but can also come with a big price tag, especially if the front porch area is aesthetically weak and would require construction to build it out. To achieve a similar result at a fraction of the cost, replace the front door with a new, energy-efficient option with a strong design element. You may even consider painting it a bold color. Next, add a ready-made pergola around the entryway, or large concrete or sandstone pillars on either side of the door, available at most garden stores. Adding large, decorative plants to the top of the pillars, or around the doorway, can help define a dramatic entryway without ever pulling out a hammer. • Paint: Adding a fresh coat of paint is one of the most affordable ways to update many portions of the home. While time-consuming, the transformative properties of paint on a staircase, exterior shutters, interior walls or even a floor are legendary. Paint is another great opportunity to utilize the consumer trick of looking for the

A home improvement project can make a big difference to the appearance or value of the home without breaking the bank. Focus on low-cost, quality items that will give the most bang for your buck. low-cost leader in the product category. Stay away from the cheapest paint as it may chip or require many coats to cover. But, also avoid the highest-end paints, as you

may be paying more for the brand name than the actual product. Look for the best quality option at the Q most affordable price point. — Brandpoint

Who is responsible for repairs during a home sale? Many questions ar ise dur ing the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer. There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated. Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is advisable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first priority — even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector

also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made. A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise. The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management website, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs. Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold “as is” and may even specify that

repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted. Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate marketing site. Such repairs include: • lender-required repairs that could impact home safety; • leaky pipes; • water penetration issues, including a bad roof; • unsafe decking or handrails; • wet basements or crawl spaces; • insecure foundations or obvious structural damage; and • poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system. It is always advisable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate attorney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next severQ al years. — Metro Creative Connection

Homebuyers may be able to negotiate that sellers repair major structural issues, such as a leaky roof. If not, negotiate a lower sale price.

Real estate can be a good investment that helps build wealth and secure a financial future. According to Investopedia, average 20-year returns in commercial real estate hover around 9.5 percent, while residential and diversified real estate average returns of 10.6 percent. Such figures may seem too good to ignore for many prospective real estate investors. But investing in real estate can be risky, and it’s important that first-time investors consider a host of factors before deciding to delve into the real estate market. • Current finances: Real estate can potentially yield big returns, but these may only materialize after investors spend ample amounts of money refurbishing or even maintaining their investment properties. Prospective investors without the capital on hand to finance repairs or routine maintenance may find it difficult to make their properties appealing to potential tenants, which can make it harder to meet mortgage pay ments. Prospective investors who already have sizable debts, be it consumer debt or existing mortgage payments, may want to pay down those debts before investing in real estate. • Down payments: According to Wells Fargo, mortgage insurance does not cover investment property, and loans typically require a minimum down payment of 20

percent of the value of the property. So prospective investors cannot count on mortgage insurance to finance their investments in real estate. Investors should not just make sure they can meet that 20 percent requirement, but also ensure they have enough capital left to address any repairs that need to be made. If not, they might have trouble attracting renters willing to pay enough in rent. • Interest rates: Prospective real estate investors may be surprised to learn that investment property loans are often subject to higher interest rates than those for homebuyers borrowing to purchase a primary residence, says Quicken Loans. Investors should not count on getting the same or better interest rates for their investment properties than they did when buying the homes they currently live in. • Financial reserves: Some lenders may require that prospective investors have sizable financial reserves before they will lend them money to invest in real estate. Some may require that borrowers have several months’ worth of reserves to finance both their personal lives and their investments. Investing in real estate can yield big returns. But first-time investors should know that such investments are vastly different than Q investing in a home for oneself. — Metro Creative Connection

MidVille troupe scares up the Addams Family They’re creepy and they’re kooky, and, as evidenced in “The Addams Family,” the hit musical comedy now drawing large crowds to Maggie’s Little Theater in Middle Village, they’re a hell of a lot of fun to be around. The show runs through July 19, and it is well worth catching. With a book by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, the show is based on now-iconic characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams. Under the attentive direction of Amanda Montoni, the current production is fastpaced and sometimes quite funny, particularly in the longer and more diverting first half. A great opening number, “When You’re an

Addams,” performed by members of the family, both living and resurrected, sets the ghoulish tone that pervades most of the evening (or afternoon). There’s an equally entertaining Act One finale that goes by the name of “Full Disclosure.” As that implies, lots of secrets are revealed, many of them outlandish. Between the two numbers, multiple plots unfold, including a central one revolving around Gomez and Morticia Addams’ daughter, Wednesday, and her desire to marry into a “normal” family. This leads to issues between the two sets of parents, as well as more than a touch of acrimony within each of their respective marriages. Then there’s the case of Uncle Fester, who reveals he is in love with, of all things, the moon; and Grandmama’s potions; and Wednesday’s penchant for

torturing her younger brother, Pugsley, on a rack. The second half of the show isn’t as lively or diverting as the first, consisting primarily of more intimate scenes and just a few rather bland ballads. But this is a commentary on the show itself, rather than on the current rendering. For a show like this to work, the entire cast must buy into the lunacy, and this one does from top to bottom. There’s great chemistry between Thom Harmon and Virginia Harmon as Gomez Addams and his wife, Morticia, as well there should be: They’re married in real life, as well. She, in particular, captures the other-worldly essence of her character in both looks and demeanor. continued on page 31

Like musicals? Are superhero movies more of your thing? Or a coming of age comedy? How about gangster films? There’s something for everyone this summer courtesy of the Central Astoria Local Development Coalition Inc. The 2019 Movies on the Waterfront Series kicks off with the popular movie musical, “Singin’ in the Rain,” on July 22. Starring Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds, the story focuses on actors who try to keep up as the movie industry transitions from silent films into the new world of “talkies.” The movie-within-a-movie finds itself in trouble as production issues arise.

Movies on the Waterfront When: Various dates Where: Astoria Park Great Lawn, Shore Boulevard Entry: Free; (718) 728-7820

The feel-good, crowd-pleasing movie is good for film fans of all ages. Featuring songs including “Good Morning,” “Make ‘Em Laugh,” “Fit as a Fiddle” and, of course, “Singin’ in the Rain” the movie is widely considered to be one of the greatest ever with the American Film Institute ranking it No. 5 in 2007. On July 29, the series continues with the popular 1995 coming-of-age story “Clueless” starring Alicia Silverstone as a spoiled Beverly Hills teenager. Directed by Amy Heckerling, who had previously directed the teen classic “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” the movie follows the popular teen as she plays matchmaker, first for a pair of teachers and then for a new student who surprisingly becomes more popular than she is. Nearly a quar ter-centur y after its release, “Clueless” lives on for fans of 1990s nostalgia, due in part to the performance of Silverstone, who had previously appeared in Aerosmith music videos. For fans of superhero movies, “SpiderMan: Into the Spider-Verse” will play on

Cross Bay Chemist A pharmacy that cares to get to know you!

My name is Mario Gagliardo and I am the Supervising Pharmacist at Cross Bay Chemist in Ozone Park. I was born and raised in Middle Village, New York. I am a second-generation Italian-American whose family comes from Sicily. l attended Saint Francis Prep high school and went to pharmacy school at the University of Connecticut. On my free time, I love to spend time with family and travel to different parts of the world. During pharmacy school, I had the honor to live in China and study Traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing for five weeks. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that gave me the chance to compare westernized medicine to Traditional Chinese medicine and bring back what I learned. Also, I enjoy playing golf, hockey, baseball and soccer. During the winter, I like to ski with family and friends. Growing up, I always wanted to give back to the community and help make a difference in someone’s life. I finally have this opportunity becoming a pharmacist. I have nine years of experience working in a pharmacy and look forward to serving the OZO N

community of Ozone Park. For me, being a pharmacist isn’t about the prestige but to give back and ensure people receive the right care they deserve. I love being a pharmacist because of the patients I have touched and also the impact they have on me. Not only do I verify and dispense medications, I provide advice about health and talk to patients about their families. I am fortunate enough to work at CBC and extend my care to such a wonderful community. One of my favorite aspects working as a pharmacist in an independent pharmacy is developing one-on-one relationships with each patient and having that personal connection. You cannot get that type of service I can provide at chain pharmacies. With me, it is all about personal care, not just a number. If you would like to continue or start care with me, all you have to do is provide your name, date of birth, medication and old pharmacy phone number and I’ll take care of the rest. Feel free to stop by and meet me at Cross Bay Chemist in Ozone Park!

In an effort to create opportunities for connecting directly with the community and empowering healthy food choices along the way, Socrates Sculpture Park offers a new program called Back to Our Roots, which includes a wide array of workshops, demonstrations and other activities. The park, located on the East River waterfront in Long Island City, is open 365 days a year from 9 a.m. until sunset. No reservations are required for a visit. Perhaps best of all, admission to the grounds and programs is absolutely free. A cornerstone of the program goes by the name of Roots Saturdays, which, as the name implies, takes place every Saturday — from noon until 3 p.m., through Oct. 26. “As an outdoor venue, we find it important to support local partners who are engaged in this type of work,” said Marketing Communications Manager Sara Morgan, adding, “We’re not pushing anything. We’re an available resource.” Visitors to the park will learn about what they consume and where their food is coming from. According to Morgan, the goal is for families “to learn more about healthier diets.” Roots Saturdays features the weekly participation of Hellgate Farm, a network of residential and rooftop gardens in the borough that promotes urban gardening and a permaculture lifestyle within the local community. According to Morgan, the farm sends local produce to the park,

available for purchase. Other such vendors make periodic appearances, as well, and sometimes small-scale food-related demonstrations are offered. Visitors to the park can also participate in weekly art workshops, held at the same time as the Roots activities. In addition, the park currently offers an interactive art exhibition, “Chronos Cosmos: Deep Time, Open Space,” running through Sept. 2. The exhibit transforms the park into what is described as “a gateway to the universe, creating connecting points to time and space.” Besides Hellgate Farm, the program’s local partners include Smiling Hogshead Ranch, a garden without a gate, created in 2011 by a group of Long Island City neighbors on a set of abandoned railroad tracks, ultimately leading to the creation of a nonprofit urban farm collective. Another partner is big Reuse, which offers free compost drop-off at the site every day of the week. The Connected Chef, Queens Beekeepers Guild and Queens Action Council are Q other partners in the program.

I HAVE OFTEN WALKED

He came from Belarus and set up shop in Jamaica by Ron Marzlock Chronicle Contributor

Samuel Leaf was born in Grodno, Belarus, on the border of Poland on Sept. 1, 1882. He arrived in America in 1884 and became a naturalized American citizen in 1904. He married Russian immigrant Rose Lubitz and they had five children: Alice, Sophia, Abraham, Herbert and Harold. Armed with only an eighth-grade education, Leaf worked in the furniture district on West 32nd Street in Manhattan, learning all about the business. After learning everything about hardwoods like maple and oak, he opted to go another way, opening a store that sold chrome kitchen sets on Hillside Avenue. His sons ran a tire store next door on the block’s corner. Chrome furniture was cheap and affordable compared to real hardwood sets. Leaf hit a great stride and sold thousands of sets each year. He passed away at age 70 in June 1953. His heirs sold off the properties and the land became new and used car lots. The last sibling in the Leaf family to pass away

Leaf Chrome Furniture Store, 139-04 Hillside Ave., Jamaica, summer 1951. was Sophia, a few months shy of her 101st birthday in 2007. Ironically, today, hardwoods like oak, pine and maple are no longer in vogue among some as they once were. Now with the spending power of the millennial generation, Leaf ’s old, shiny, ar t deco chrome kitchen sets are in great demand, selling for much more money than when they were new. It’s more proof that everything goes in cycles. What was once old Q becomes new again.

continued from page 29 other dimensions to fight Kingpin, the supervillain crime boss. Movie fans can enjoy more superheroes the next week as “Incredibles 2” will be screened. Released in 2018, the movie immediately follows the events of the first film, which hit theaters in 2004. The Parr family has to deal with a society that has outlawed costumed superheroes. “Incredibles 2” was a hit with fans and critics alike with the movie hauling in more than $1 billion. The series wraps up with an August 19 screening of “The Godfather,” starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Sunnyside native James Caan. Widely considered to be one of the greatest movies ever, the story shows the rise of Michael Corleone, played by Pacino, within the family business as he becomes a mafia boss. Featuring a supporting cast including Robert Duvall, Talia Shire, Diane Keaton, Sterling Hayden and Abe Vigoda, the violent drama shows the personal and business issues the family deals with as fighting breaks out among the five major mafia crime families. The movie was nominated for 11 Oscars, winning three.

There are also all the legendary lines from the movie including “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse” and ”Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.” Brando won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Vito Corleone, even though he had less screen time than Pacino, who decided not to attend the award ceremony because he had been nominated for best supporting actor instead. The cat Brando holds in the iconic opening scene was a stray that director Francis Ford Coppola saw wandering around the studio lot and put in the Q actor’s lap.

The Mets entered the much-needed All-Star break with a disappointing 40-50 record. They finished up 3-5 on their last homestand as they dropped 2 out of 3 to both the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies, while splitting two games with the New York Yankees to start off July. The Mets were beneficiaries of the Yankees’ jet lag from them having played a pair of games against the Boston Red Sox in London the previous weekend as it helped the Amazin’s beat the Bronx Bombers 4-2 last Tuesday night. The Yankees got their sea legs back the next night as they beat the Mets 5-1. What made the homestand disturbing, however, was that the Mets bullpen kept up their season-long habit of turning winnable games into gut-wrenching losses. Two weeks ago in Chicago, normally affable and upbeat Mets manager Mickey Callaway cursed out Newsday beat reporter Tim Healey following yet another disastrous relief effort by closer Edwin Diaz. Last Friday, Diaz imploded in the ninth inning against the Phillies as the Mets wasted yet another gem from their ace, Jacob deGrom. One key reason why the Mets have stunk over the last two years is that they have only won 16 of the last 46 games that deGrom has started and deGrom bears little culpability for that.

NY Post Mets beat writer Mike Puma wrote that the team’s unflappable general manager, Brodie Van Wagenen, who was deGrom’s agent before taking on his current role, exploded following the Friday night debacle. According to Puma, Van Wagenen met in a conference room with Callaway and his coaches immediately following the game and lashed into them in a manner reminiscent to what Alec Baldwin’s character, Blake, did to the poor real estate salesmen in the 1992 film, “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Van Wagenen then threw a chair against the wall as a way of punctuating his displeasure. Van Wagenen may have been releasing some inward anger. He knows that he’s responsible for re-signing reliever Jeurys Familia, who has been awful this year, and giving 35-year-old infielder Jed Lowrie a two-year, $20 million deal but who hasn’t played this year because of injuries. The less said about his signature move, the trade for second baseman Robinson Cano and Diaz, the better. Ironically, Van Wagenen’s temper tantrum may actually score points with Mets fans because it shows passion. His predecessor, Sandy Alderson, would never have done that nor would have spent half a game sitting in the bleachers with members of the 7 Line as Van Q Wagenen did during the Subway Series.
