FIFA ’17 king of Queens beats 8-5 Howard Beach resident defeats Chad ‘Ochocinco’ in FIFA challenge by Nicholas Theodorou Chronicle Contributor
Ever wonder what former NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson is up to these days? He isn’t scoring touchdowns anymore or being the eccentric personality he was. He now challenges people to play him in FIFA ’17, the wildly popular soccer video game. And one Howard Beach resident was able to get in on the fun. On Halloween night, James Russo got an unusual trick-or-treater at his door step when he challenged the former NFL player to a game of FIFA with the help of his friends blowing up Johnson’s Twitter mentions. This all started when Johnson sent out a tweet saying, “Why are people in NY scared to play me in FIFA 17?” “Everyone knows I wanted to play the guy and they saw that tweet and they spammed his mentions like ‘Play Jimmy, play Jimmy,’” he recalled. Johnson then responded to him and asked where he lived and said he would stop by after he finished eating lunch in Manhattan. “When I saw that tweet, I just lost my mind,” Russo said. Russo, 23, was extremely confident he could beat Johnson in the game. “In FIFA, I’m pretty much that good where like I would be bothered if anyone said they

Russo defeated the eccentric footballer in nine of the 10 games PHOTO COURTESY JAMES RUSSO they played. were better than me,” he said. They played 10 games together and Russo won nine of them. From the very beginning, he made sure Johnson knew it wasn’t going to be easy. “The first goal I scored within maybe four minutes of the game starting I just kind of jumped out of my seat and said ‘Get this guy
the f--k outta my house,’” he exclaimed. Johnson remained stone-faced and “at some point he just realized there was nothing he could do.” Although he had a tough game face when playing him, Russo said he has nothing but respect for the way Johnson carried himself. He showed up with no entourage in a car
that his hotel sent for him. “He’s a good dude, Chad is a humble good dude,” Russo said. “I was very surprised by it, he was as good as they get.” Russo and the man who once legally changed his last name to Ochocinco — which literally translated from Spanish means eight five, but stands for the number Johnson once wore on his jersey, 85 — said they exchanged numbers and would be more than happy to face each other again. Once word spread that Johnson was coming to his house, Russo had about 25 people in his house to watch them play. After playing and losing nine out of 10 games, Johnson stuck around to watch Monday Night Football and have some New Park Pizza. Russo’s mom was out walking the dog when Johnson arrived so when she returned her son introduced the six-time Pro Bowler simply as “Chad.” His mom, being a big football fan, knew exactly who he was. She asked Johnson if she could get anything for him. “Out of all things, he asked for a latte, so my mom went to Dunkin’ Donuts and got him one,” Russo remembered. As if beating “Ochocinco” wasn’t enough for him, Russo now wants to challenge the New York Giant’s Victor Cruz and rap artist Drake. “I know Drake plays FIFA, if he would ever Q see it I’m open to that,” he said.
Looking for a space to let their pets run Howard Beach residents want ball field turned into a space for dogs by Anthony O’Reilly
For the latest news visit qchron.com
Associate Editor
Howard and Hamilton Beach residents are having a ’ruff time finding a space for their dogs to run around freely. “We don’t have a dedicated dog run in the area,” said Christine Kilkenny. Kilkenny and other residents have started to use Field No. 3 at Frank Charles Memorial Park as a space to let their pets off the leash and burn some energy for a while. That was until someone complained to the National Parks Service, who started to ticket dog owners who did not have canines on a leash. “We used to not have any problem with it,” said a Howard Beach resident named Frank, who was with his two greyhounds at the f ield Tuesday mor n ing. “I g uess someone didn’t like that they were running around without the leashes.” Kilkenny recently started a petition to have the field, unused by any sports teams or any other organizations, turned into a dog run or allow the pets to run
around without leashes. About 75 people have signed the paper petition so far, she said. “If nobody is using it, it would be a great space to bring the dogs,” Kilkenny said. Frank said he’s in support of the idea as well. “It’s also like a place for the dogs to socialize,” he said. “They see the other dogs here and it allows them to be accustomed to each other. We just can’t keep them in our backyards.” Right now, the petition is only on paper but Kilkenny is working to start an online one so other people can sign onto the cause. Changing the rules of the field might be a little trickier than usual — Frank Charles Memorial Park is federal parkland and under the control of the NPS. Joann Ariola, president of the Howa rd Be a ch -Li nde nwo o d Civic Association, said it’s further complicated because a change in the use for that specific field would require a shift in the compendium for national parks — the rules and regulations for every federal park in the nation.
“We brought up the idea of a dog run in Charles Park but we were told it couldn’t be done,” Ariola said. Kilkenny brought her cause to Community Board 10 last week, where Chairwoman Betty Braton told her the matter was a federal issue. Braton encouraged Kilkenny to find alternate sites in the area that she believes could be used as a dog run and bring that list back to the community board. Ariola encouraged the same thing. “Anyone who has a list of possible places should bring them to us,” she said. I n an i nter view with the Queens Chronicle, Kilkenny said the Charles Park ball field would be the best spot because it’s nearby, already fenced off and large enough for the pets. Frank said the dog owners are responsible with the field. “We clean up after them all the time,” he said. “Even when it’s not our dogs who leave behind a mess, we make sure to Q clean up.”
Howard Beach resident Frank wants a place for his two dogs to run around freely. He, and some others, believe Field No. 3 at Frank Charles Memorial Park would PHOTO BY ANTHONY O’REILLY be the perfect place to put a dog run.

P Our hopes for the Trump presidency
EDITORIAL
I
f both Hillary Clinton and President Obama can speak of President-elect Donald Trump with the grace they did Wednesday, we can too. Clinton saw her greatest dream crushed forever Tuesday. Obama saw his legacy achievements put in grave danger. Yet, respecting the peaceful transition of power that has marked our system for all but a handful of years a century and a half ago, they called for unity after Trump’s victory and for all to help him become a successful president. “We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead,” Clinton said. We are “all rooting for his success,” Obama said, because Americans “are all on the same team.” Their grace, characteristic especially of Obama, was also achieved by Trump — for whom it is something new — in his magnanimous victory speech. “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me,” Trump said, achieving not Obama’s eloquence — he cannot — but reaching a new high in his tone and message. “For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people” — he paused a moment
AGE
here as the crowd laughed — “I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.” We can only hope this is an accurate sign of the President Trump who will take office in January. We did not support him in this campaign and derided him in strong terms on this page, as he deserved. But now he has won, and as Obama and Clinton made clear, he merits the respect that comes with the office he soon will hold. We will see if he keeps deserving that respect or if he debases the presidency. We certainly hope the vile rhetoric of the campaign will be left behind and that it was just what he calculated he had to do to win. He better not keep and act on any kind of enemies list as Nixon did. He needs to spend his time working to improve the country, not going on immature, pointless Twitter rants. And he must observe the constitutional restrictions placed upon the presidency. Keeping an open mind, giving him a chance to lead and rooting for his success of course do not mean blindly supporting any policy he proposes. Like any American, we wonder exactly what his policies will be. Trump has promised the voters the world, and it will not be easy for even he,

Dear Editor: I read with great interest Louis Kramberg’s letter stating his long-standing wish for a new and expanded Rego Park Library (“New library needed,” Nov. 3). I too share that desire, and have been urging the Queens Library to act upon it since the late 1990s. When Dennis Walcott took over as the new Queens Library president, I wanted to impress upon him the urgency of this matter, as your paper noted in your April 21, 2016 edition: “ … The Councilwoman expressed frustration that the price of a potential new Rego Park Library has grown from $19 million to $29 million in the more than 15 years it was first requested by the community.” Currently between the borough president and myself, we have over $6 million in the budget for a new library in Rego Park, and I am working on getting more. As you may know, the Queens Library depends upon city, state, federal and private donations to fund its construction and maintenance budget as well as its operational budget. The Rego Park Library, built in 1974, is simply too small and does not adequately serve the residents of our community, some 200,000 of which utilized this branch last year. We have students doing homework and senior citizens reading periodicals and books and taking classes in computers and literacy, as well as our working families utilizing this © Copyright 2016 by MARK I PUBLICATIONS, INC.

the greatest salesman in the world, to deliver. We do admit to being a bit excited by the prospect of having a president from Queens, and hope he won’t forget his home borough. He promises $1 trillion in new infrastructure spending. To rebuild the military. To maintain or even expand Social Security and other government programs. All while cutting taxes on both individuals and businesses. It’s a tall order. Reagan achieved some of it, but at the cost of driving the federal debt through the roof. Now it stands near $20 trillion — and if that number alone isn’t scary enough, projections for upcoming years are far worse. Let’s see how this one-party government the people elected Tuesday will begin to tackle that, among all the other challenges the United States faces. We are in uncharted territory here. In countless ways, we have never had a president like Donald Trump. But a revolution occurred this week. We are reminded of John F. Kennedy’s words: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Obama and Clinton’s words yesterday helped cement the peaceful revolution that Trump’s victory created. Now the ball is in his court to make it a productive one too.

space as a community center. Anytime a developer seeks to construct a new building in our community and mentions to me that he or she might be willing to do some neighborhood enhancement, the first words out of my mouth are “Rego Park needs a new library!” President Walcott told me that this is on his “radar screen.” He is a man of his word, and I intend to work with him so that this moves from radar to reality Karen Koslowitz NYC Council Member for the 29th District Forest Hills
Homeless child crisis Dear Editor: For the first time, there are more than 100,000 homeless students in New York City’s public and charter schools. Last year the homeless student population rose 22 percent from the prior school year. Whether you notice them or not, homeless children attend
almost every school in every district and in all our backyards. Almost one out of 10 school children is homeless and one out of eight has been homeless at some point in the past five years. Some school districts have up to 18 percent homeless students. We have a city full of blameless children in unstable — often unsafe — living conditions. Two-thirds of homeless children will stay that way for longer than one school year. The trauma and stress of homelessness negatively impacts children long after they regain a permanent address. They need support services to keep up in school, and special educational needs to be identified and addressed as early as possible. They need healthcare, social work interventions and other long-term investments to insure a better future as productive, taxpaying New Yorkers. Homeless children are an indicator of the explosion in family homelessness. In recognition of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week, the Institute for Children,

Crime in Briarwood Dear Editor: The head punching assault upon Patrick Gorman, outside his apartment building at the corner of Queens Boulevard and Main Street in Briarwood, on June 26, which led to his death by homicide on the same day, has just been announced to the public four and a half months

later, by the major television networks, upon the recent release of video by the NYPD. So, it takes over four months for an NYPD cam posted on Main to be viewed?Obviously, no real-time viewing. Why is there always a local and citywide blackout of crimes in Briarwood, as recently evidenced by no press or TV reports of the serial robberies of women’s handbags on Burden Crescent this year, as well as other crimes in Briarwood, or just having “Queens” designated as the venue? And, where are the 107th Precinct police patrols in the Briarwood community? And, why no early alerts of these criminal activities to the residents for their vigilance by the Briarwood Civic Association and Briarwood Action Network community groups in their newsletters? Everything is disordered here. Joseph N. Manago Flushing

Why Clinton lost Dear Editor: (An open letter to Democratic voters) Do you know why the Democratic Party lost despite better organization and more money? It’s because you literally nominated an openly pro-war Democrat. (Obama at least pretended otherwise.) The current version of the Democratic Party is strongest in politically correct parts of cities, where people are often more influenced by the fashion of politics than by the substance. But the real Democratic voters, the ones who have been Democrats for decades, are not really interested in safe spaces and nonsense. They are opposed to war. Many of them became Democrats in response to the Vietnam War and to Nixon’s War on Drugs (which is ironic, given that Democrats initially got the U.S. military involved in Vietnam). When you nominated an openly pro-war “Democrat,” that was frankly too much. They could not support that type of person. And rightly so. To those antiwar Democrats: What do you do when a spouse mistreats you? First you try to convince him or her otherwise. If that doesn’t work, you leave, and make your spouse earn you back. It’s time for you to ditch the pro-War “Democratic” party. Join the actual antiwar party: the Libertarian Party. If the Democrats want your vote and your energy, make them earn it. Make them pledge to end the War on Drugs and end U.S. involvement in foreign civil wars. Libertarian candidates have already signed pledges to that effect. And to the antiwar left that has been missing since 2008: Please stop the hypocrisy. Democrats bombing foreign countries is just as bad as Republicans bombing foreign countries. If you cannot hold your own candidates to the same standards you hold Republican candidates to, you are either hypocrites or fools. If you want to stop war, bring the troops home, shut down foreign military bases, and cut taxes accordingly, please join the Libertarian Party. Learn more at lp.org.

Poverty and Homelessness is reissuing its community snapshots of family homelessness to embolden New Yorkers to take a look at their backyards. You can view them at icphusa.org. Even a quick look will demonstrate that homelessness is a local issue that affects every neighborhood in New York City. Family homelessness is a pervasive problem that is increasing at an alarming rate. Mayor de Blasio is putting resources toward addressing the problem, as had Mayor Bloomberg before him. And yet the number of families entering shelter climbs every day and the homeless student population rose by 22 percent amid news that the Great Recession is finally in the rearview mirror. How can we stem the growth of family homelessness? We must reframe the solution away from housing and toward education and employment. A typical homeless parent is a young, single mother with two children, most of whom are under the age of 5. Only about half the parents have a high school diploma, and fewer than half work during the time they are in shelter. At some point they receive a rental subsidy voucher and leave with few skills for success. Is it any wonder that roughly half return to shelter? Many publicly funded programs are focused on getting homeless families into some sort of housing as quickly as possible. It’s a good start, but for many it is akin to giving them a fish but not teaching them to fish. Good intentions, while important, will not cure the problem. Compassionate New Yorkers who hate to see taxpayer money wasted can understand that the children from their communities who are homeless, while invisible to most, are expensive and a loss of human and community potential. We hope ICPH’s snapshots will be a starting point for conversation, common-sense solutions, and a call for clear leadership on this issue that is, yes, right in your backyard.

More crossing guards near Cross Bay Blvd? CEC vote could help students; pol seeks them by middle, high schools by Anthony O’Reilly Associate Editor
Community Education Council 27’s decision to zone 500 families west of Cross Bay Boulevard for the elementary school under construction in Centreville may have created some controversy, but it may also lead to something everyone can agree on: the safety of schoolchildren. Under city law, crossing guards are only required in areas where there are elementary schools. For middle and high schools, the placement of crossi ng g u a rd s is discretionary. In other words, there’s going to be many more crossing guards in the Ozone Park area when the school opens — maybe including one at Cross Bay Boulevard and 149th Avenue, the site where 13-year-old Jazmine Marin was hit and killed by a car two weeks ago. “Who knows if one was there they could have stopped Jazmine from running into the middle of the street or maybe slowed down the car?” said state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach). The community had been advocating for a crossing guard at the intersection long before Marin’s untimely death. Dr. Harold Paez, president of CEC 27, told the Queens Chronicle the panel has already

A gun found at MS 202 in OP, DOE report A 13-year-old at MS 202, the Robert Goddard School, in Ozone Park brought a gun to school on Wednesday, according to the Department of Education. “The NYPD immediately responded to this troubling incident, and swiftly and safely confiscated the weapon. Students and staff are safe, and we will work in close partnership with the NYPD as they conduct an investigation,” a DOE spokeswoman said. The spokeswoman did not say how the gun was discovered or if the teenager will be criminally charged. The gun is the fourth to be found in a city pupil’s possession so far this school year, according to NYPD statistics. Q — Anthony O’Reilly

The vote cast by Community Education Council 27 last month could ensure crossing guards are placed on Cross Bay Boulevard and 149th Avenue, where a 13-year-old student was hit and PHOTO BY ANTHONY O’REILLY killed by a car. started discussing where crossing guards should be placed when the new school, PS 335 — bordered by Albert Road, Raleigh Street and North Conduit Avenue — opens next year. “These discussions have been informal however and our official request has not been submitted as of yet,” Paez said in an email to
the Chronicle. More formal discussions will start, he said, when the NYPD’s Division of School Safety attends the CEC’s next meeting on Nov. 21. The division is the body responsible for assigning crossing guards. “It is our intention to start the formal process of requesting crossing guards for this
location at that time,” Paez said. “We will be working to let the appropriate City agencies know that this is of primary importance.” The Division of School Safety was scheduled to attend the CEC meeting before Marin, on her way to nearby Robert H. Goddard High School, and a friend were hit by a car at Cross Bay Boulevard and 149th Avenue. The driver was not at fault and was not charged with any wrongdoing. The fatal incident came a week after the CEC unanimously voted to have the boundaries for PS 335 go west of Cross Bay Boulevard. Community leaders, including Addabbo, opposed the decision saying the new school was always intended to be exclusively for Centreville children — who previously had to walk across dangerous roads such as Cross Bay or North Conduit Avenue. Some said Marin’s death highlighted the importance of not making children have to walk across the boulevard to get to school. The senator told the Chronicle last Friday that he’s looking to ensure that all children have the right to a safe commute to school. Addabbo is looking into legislation that would mandate the placement of crossing g uards at all public schools, not just elementary. “I don’t think there could be another issue continued on page 22
More time for sewer project City will work on HWQ411B on some Saturdays: civic by Anthony O’Reilly Associate Editor
The city will work on the Centreville sewer project on Saturdays for a few weekends, a civic leader said. “It looks like they might be behind on some work,” said Howie Kamph, president of the Ozone Park Civic Association. Kamph, in an interview with the Queens Chronicle on Tuesday, said the city had met with him and Community Board 10 to discuss working on the HWQ411B project — which consists of the reconstruction of 12 miles of sidewalks, roads and curbs and the replacement of two miles of sewer lines and three miles of water mains within the Centreville section of Ozone Park. The city has been working on the project since March — after taking more than 35 years to start it — on weekdays and had wanted to work on both days of the weekend but the civic and community board would only approve the Saturday request, the civic president said. “We had concerns of traffic, blocked driveways and of course them making noise early in the morning,” Kamph said. The change in working hours will start, most likely, the week after Thanksgiving and will most likely extend to the end of 2016, but might apply until after then depending on how fast the work goes.
Work on the Centreville sewer project will soon take place on some Saturdays. Most of the work this year has consisted of sewer placement and is necessary for more than one reason — a nearby school expected to open next year cannot open until that part of the project is complete. Kamph said there have been relatively few complaints about the project, though some have complained the city is looking to claim too much of their property to extend

area sidewalks. Although the project started earlier this year, the necessary acquisitions needed to complete it have not been finalized. Kamph has yet to receive an answer from the city on what will happen if residents don’t agree to the land acquisitions necessary to complete it. The project is scheduled to be completed Q by the fall of 2018.

Now, in Howard Beach, NY, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives. Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as you used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knees hurt and the pain just won’t go away! My name is Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, D.C., owner of Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center. Since we opened seventeen years ago, I’ve seen hundreds of people with knee problems leave the office pain free. If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees.
Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions? • Arthritis • Knee pain • Cartilage damage • ‘Bone-on-bone’ • Tendonitis • Bursitis • Crunching and popping sounds Finally, You Have an Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery
Before the FDA would clear the Class IV laser for human use, they wanted to see proof that it worked. This lead to two landmark studies. The first study showed that patients who had laser therapy had 53 percent better improvement than those who had a placebo. The second study showed patients who used the laser therapy had less pain and more range of motion days after treatment. If the Class IV Laser can help these patients, it can help you too.
Could This Noninvasive, Natural Treatment Be the Answer to Your Knee Pain? For 10 days only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for cold laser therapy. What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation.” Just call before November 20, 2016 and here’s what you’ll get… • An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen … really listen … to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination. • A full set of specialized X-rays to determine if arthritis is contributing to your pain (if necessary). (If you have films please bring them for evaluation). • A thorough analysis of your exam and X-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. • You’ll see everything firsthand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, as it has been for so many other patients. Until November 20th, you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $37. The normal price for this type of evaluation including X-rays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Remember what it was like before you had knee problems – when you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer. It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late.
A new treatment is helping patients with knee pain live a happier, more active lifestyle. Here’s what to do now: Due to the expected demand for this special offer, I urge you to call our office at once. The phone number is 718-845-2323. Call today and we can get started with your consultation, exam and X-rays (if necessary) as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Our office is called Gucciardo Specific Chiropractic and Natural Health Center and you can fi nd us at 162-07 91st Street in Howard Beach. Tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Knee Evaluation before November 20th. Sincerely, Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, D.C. P.S. Now you might be wondering…
“Is this safe? Are there any side effects or dangers to this?” The FDA cleared the first Class IV Laser in 2002. This was after their study found 76 percent improvement in patients with severe pain. Their only warning – don’t shine it in your eyes. Of course at our office, the laser is never anywhere near your eyes and we’ll give you a comfortable pair of goggles for safety. Don’t wait and let your knee problems get worse, disabling you for life. Take me up on my offer and call today (718) 845-2323.

New research in a treatment called Class IV Laser Therapy is having a profound effect on patients suffering with knee pain. Unlike the cutting type of laser seen in movies and used in medical procedures, the Class IV therapeutic laser penetrates the surface of the skin with no heating effect or damage. Laser Therapy has been tested for 40 years, had over 2000 papers published on it, and has been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system. This means that there is a good chance cold laser therapy could be your knee pain solution, allowing you to live a more active lifestyle. Professional athletes like The New York Yankees and team members of the New England Patriots rely upon cold laser therapy to treat their sports-related injuries. These guys use the cold laser for one reason only…

Making sure every voter has a say Wills, BOE seek to ensure homeless people know how to vote in elections by Nicholas Theodorou Chronicle Contributor
About a month ago, Marianne McCarthy, a homeless woman, went to Councilman Ruben Wills’ (D-South Jamaica) office before Election Day to complain about receiving an invalid affidavit letter from the city Board of Elections after trying to vote in the general election via an absentee ballot. “Three weeks ago, a homeless constituent came into my district office and claimed she had been disenfranchised,” Wills said last Friday. Wills reached out to the BOE and the Department of Homeless Services to solve the problem with McCarthy and to help get the word out on how the homeless can ensure their vote was counted. Wills said voters living in temporary shelters can cast affidavit ballots from their designated polling site near their residence. If they have internet access they can log onto the NYC Poll Site Locator Web App, while any homeless voters living on the street can call 311 with the name of the nearest street corner to find where they can vote. Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan), chairman of the Committee on Governmental Operations, echoed the importance of homeless people being ensured their vote is counted.
Councilman Ruben Wills, center, constituent Marianne McCarthy along with Board of Elections members and Councilman Ben Kallos, right, announced ways in which homeless voters can PHOTO BY NICHOLAS THEODOROU make sure their vote gets counted. “We must ensure that everyone who can vote is voting no matter their housing status,” he said. Kallos and Wills also worked together on a law that allows those being detained in city jails to vote. “And with so many people awaiting trial with an overwhelming majority of men of
color who shouldn’t be in our system, they need to be protected and they need their rights protected,” Kallos said at the press conference. Although at the time of the press conference it was too late to register to vote, Matt Borden, of the DHS, wanted to ensure that those who are eligible to cast ballots would be told how to do so.
“We want to make sure that all clients that are eligible to vote know that they can do so at a polling site that is closest to where their current shelter is as long as they do so via affidavit,” Borden said. In McCarthy’s case, she received a letter from the BOE that said her affidavit ballot was invalid. “She wanted to make sure, that in a general election, her vote counted,” Wills said. “Our vote counts. Each time I go from county to county to county I have to vote in different places. This general election is important, it’s for the president, and my vote counts. That’s my power here,” she said. McCarthy, 58, said this was the first time she got back an invalid affidavit after voting. “I’m like I can’t believe this. I’ve been voting since the age of 18, 21,” she said. One time she tried to vote she was told she couldn’t vote unless she resides in the county but she has moved around to different shelters. Wills said although she voted at the wrong polling place and may have incorrectly filled out her ballot, it was important that the BOE stepped up to make sure that people were informed on this issue. “We want to make sure that every person that comes in and needs to do an affidavit ballot is instructed on the proper way to fill out Q the ballot,” Wills said.
Galante and Queens Library settle lawsuit Ousted CEO, lawyers get $1.5M; U.S. Attorney investigation continuing by Michael Gannon
For the latest news visit qchron.com
Editor
The Queens Library and its former CEO and President Tom Galante have agreed to settle a civil lawsuit brought by Galante last year. According to a 14-page agreement, the library and its insurers will pay Galante $300,000 for lost wages that he sought as a result of his termination in December 2014; and $1.2 million in legal fees for his lawyers, the firm of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP. The library’s insurance carrier will pay $725,000 of the total. The library also will pay the firm of Wiggin and Dana for current legal fees incurred by Galante in connection with a federal investigation into library finances under Galante by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The library will not be responsible for any of Galante’s legal fees with respect to the federal investigation that are incurred after the settlement agreement announced Monday evening is put into effect. As a result, the library’s Board of Trustees will discontinue efforts to recoup funds it alleged it was owed by Galante, while the former chief executive will drop a lawsuit seeking more than $7 million in damages. Wiggin and Dana may hold onto libraryissued electronic devices, including an
iPhone, iPad and computers until the conclusion of the federal investigation or until they are no longer needed for further legal proceedings. Neither side admits liability. “It’s in the best interest of this institution and the public to put our time and resources towards our future, rather than litigate this matter to conclusion,” Queens Library President and CEO Dennis Walcott said in a statement issued Monday evening. “I look forward to continuing our work of providing outstanding service to all of our customers,” Walcott added. Spending under Galante was brought under a spotlight in a series of articles in the Daily News beginning in January 2014, triggering investigations by the city’s Department of Investigation and Comptroller Scott Stringer as well as the FBI. After pro-Galante members of the Board of Trustees fended off a measure to place him on leave in April 2014, Borough President Melinda Katz, who had urged the move, worked with state Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Astoria) and Assemblyman Jeff Aubrey (D-Corona) for a new law allowing borough presidents and the mayor more freedom to remove their appointees to library boards in the city. Katz and Mayor de Blasio then wasted

Stringer’s audit, released in July 2014, slammed former board leadership and said Galante used the library “as a personal piggy

The partnership between the NYPD and the Department of Education continues to build strong community ties between neighborhood schools and their local precincts with its second annual “Team Up Tuesday.” At PS/MS 146Q, The Howard Beach School, officers from the 106th Precinct teamed up with the fifth- through eighth-grade students for an informative question-and-answer special assembly. Questions focused on a variety of issues facing our teen youth today such as: peer pressure, bullying, substance abuse and gangs. The NYPD answered these questions and shared with them ways to avoid getting caught up in any of these negative antisocial behaviors and remind them that help is always available for them in school, at home and within the NYPD.

Looking for a place where your dog can r un f ree and play with other pooches? Look no further than the Forest Park Barking Lot dog run in Kew Gardens. Volunteers will be hosting a weekendlong membership drive at the dog run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Forest Park Drive and Park Lane, with the annual cost being $25. Those who sign up this weekend will receive a free Barking Lot tote bag as well as dog treats. Created in July, the space within Forest Park has become a haven for area dog owners. But the run still has a bare bones look, as a small fence outlines the patch of grass where the pooches play. The dog owners who operate the run are hoping to improve it with city funding acquired during the district’s participatory budgeting process run by the office of Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills). For more information on how to become a member, log onto the Barking Lot’s Facebook or Twitter pages or email forQ estparkbarkinglot@gmail.com.
City Hall, Juniper fight gets personal Civic sends cease and desist letter to mayoral spox by Christopher Barca Associate Editor
Enough is enough. That’s what the Juniper Park Civic Association is saying, as the group’s attorney sent a cease and desist letter to City Hall, demanding the administration stop “smearing” it. “You have falsely painted with a broad brush the motives and intentions of JPCA in a wholly unacceptable manner,” attorney Daniel Schneider wrote in a letter dated Nov. 1. “Har nessing implicit bias and smearing the group’s name and goals can have no other end than to garner support for your contrary position.” Since early August, the civic has been fighting the city tooth and nail over a highly controversial proposal to convert the Holiday Inn Express on 55th Road in Maspeth into a 110-room homeless shelter for adult families. The JPCA has since led and organized dozens of protests in front of the facility, while also holding raucous rallies outside Cit y Hall a nd t he homes of Hu ma n Resources Administration Commissioner Steve Banks and an executive with Acacia Network, the shelter’s service provider. The proposal was altered last month, with the city renting out individual rooms to house 30 homeless single men, but the
amount of vitriol area civic groups like the JPCA have directed toward Mayor de Blasio’s administration hasn’t changed. In October, the city released two videos slamming the protesters for supposedly not caring about the people living in shelters. One video even featured a “White Lives Matter” chant, something no one is seen in the video actually saying. A Chronicle reporter on the scene did not hear the chant, but mayoral sources claim they personally heard two people saying it, including one into a megaphone before another protester got him to stop. The civic contends it was dubbed in. After city Comptroller Scott Stringer spoke at a JPCA meeting two weeks ago, de Blasio spokeswoman Aja Worthy-Davis responded by saying he was courting people who use “White Lives Matter” as their protest call. It was that comment that sparked the civic’s cease and desist letter. “JPCA will not tolerate such conduct w ithout a measu red , yet appropr iate response,” the document reads. “Accordingly, unless you withdraw the above statements and apologize to JPCA in writing within 15 calendar days of the date of this letter, we shall take appropriate action as we deem necessary to enforce and protect JPCA’s rights.”

Special Counsel to the Mayor Henry Berger said in a Wednesday statement that the city is “entitled to present facts and to express our opinions.” Neither provides a basis for legal Q action,” Berger said.

T
he annual Queens Veterans Day Parade went off without a hitch on Sunday, with scores of residents giving their thanks to those who have served in our nation’s armed forces in recent decades. A number of community organizations joined the procession along Metropolitan Avenue from 80th Street to Christ the King High School, including Chapter 32 of the Vietnam Veterans of America, the East Coast Car Association and various Boy Scout and Girl Scout packs. This year’s parade was held in memory of Cpl. Julian Ramon, a Flushing native who was killed in Iraq in 2006. Both grand marshals served in World War II, with Gary Inzerillo having fought the Japanese in Southeast Asia and Luke Q Gasparre taking on Nazi Germany.

Suspect in Briarwood killing turns himself in Mathew Smith allegedly slew Patrick Gorman with one punch on June 26 by Christopher Barca Associate Editor
The suspect who allegedly killed a 64 -year-old Br iar wood man with one punch at Queens Boulevard and Main Street in June walked into the 75th Precinct in East New York on Monday and turned himself in. Mathew Smith, also of Briarwood, was booked on charges of criminally negligent homicide and assault after he allegedly slugged Patrick Gorman, supposedly for bumping into a woman believed to be Smith’s wife on the bus they were riding in. The incident occurred just after midnight on June 26, steps from Gorman’s apartment building, with surveillance camera footage taken from a nearby business capturing the brutal punch. The footage, released by police two weeks ago, shows Smith allegedly walking just behind Gorman, who turns his body slightly in Smith’s direction just as the suspect delivers a vicious right hand to the side of his head, knocking him down. Gorman tried to get up, but he quickly crumpled back onto the sidewalk. As he struggles, Smith, 42, and 39-yearold Elena Makarova can be seen calmly walking away. Gor man died later that mor ning at

Central Ridgewood is finally deemed ‘historic’ Dignitaries gather to unveil 84 street signs highlighting the designation by Christopher Barca
For the latest news visit qchron.com
Associate Editor
T he row houses of cent ral Ridgewood are iconic. The ethnic stores and markets that line the streets are symbols of the neighborhood’s vast diversity. So it’s about time that portion of Ridgewood earned its rightful designation as a historic district, according to Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Glendale). “It’s so important that we’re able to preserve the rich history and culture that Ridgewood has to provide,” Crowley said at last Friday’s ceremony on 70th Avenue. “This particular landmarking represents almost 1,000 buildings that will be preserved.” Nearly two years ago, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate Central Ridgewood as a historic district. But only recently were 84 red, white and blue street signs highlighting the neighborhood’s designation installed. To celebrate, about 50 civic leaders, city officials and community members gathered at the cor-
ner of 70th Avenue and Fresh Pond Road last Friday to sing Ridgewood’s praises. “These signs tell us where we are in more ways than one,” LPC Chairwoman Meenakshi Srinivasan said. “One of the things that I did first when I joined the commission was come out to Ridgewood. I was struck by its historic uniformity, its cohesive streetscape and the wide extent of these row houses. The fact that it’s in Queens, a borough of immigrants, made it even more exciting.” Made up of approximately 40 blocks and 990 buildings, the historic district is generally bounded by Madison Street to the north, 71st Avenue to the south, Fresh Pond Road to the west and Forest Avenue to the east, with an adjacent section bounded by Onderdonk, Catalpa, Forest and 70th avenues also included. A handful of plots between 71st and Myrtle avenues near 60th Lane as well as properties between Madison and Woodbine streets along 60th Place help complete the district. Most of the homes are brick row houses containing architecture

typical of the late-19th and early20th centuries, specifically original brownstone stoops, curved bays and red or brown brick faces. About half the houses in the district were designed by prolific architect Louis Berger, a German immigrant, and built by Paul Stier between the turn of the 20th century and World War I. Some of the northern and southern sections of Ridgewood have
already been landmarked, encompassing about 300 buildings. Paul Kerzner, the president of the Ridgewood Property Owners and Civic Association, said he hopes to see all of Ridgewood receive histor ic stat us in the future. “With the new commissioner,” Kerzner said, “we will double our efforts.” According to Kerzner, the Central
Ridgewood Historic District is the third-largest historic district in the city behind one in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village and Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. “Now that you see what we all know and we all see,” Councilman Antonio Reynoso (D-Brooklyn, Ridgewood) added, looking at Srinivasan, “I hope that we can get everything landmarked in a Q timely fashion.”

Rikers reform plan fails to make dent
A marathon, not a sprint
Numbers unchanged 18 months after announcement by mayor by Bryant Rodriguez Chronicle Contributor
An initiative by the city to lower the number of individuals incarcerated at Rikers for over a year has failed, according to Councilmember Rory Lancman (D-Forest Hills) who spoke during a Courts and Legal Services Committee hearing recently. Known as Justice Reboot, the program was initiated by the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice in April 2015. Its goals were to get cases that were pending for over a year into court or plea deals within 45 days, resolve 50 percent of all cases in which a defendant is detained at Rikers with a case pending for over a year within six months and an overhaul of the summons process. When the program was announced, there were over 1,400 people detained at Rikers for over a year. That number, 18 months later, has remained largely unchanged acccording to Lancman. “I would’ve thought we would’ve done more than barely treading water,” he said. “We’re not making much progress, it’s a tremendous disappointment,” he added. “The city cannot identify problems that the city wants policymakers to change.” The MOCJ, however, considers the program to be a “big success.” “Of the 1,427 Justice Reboot target cases, 91 percent were resolved,” said associate counsel Chidinma Ume, emphasizing that they exceeded their six-month goal by clearing 50 percent of the cases within four months. She also stated that the “average length of stay for pretrial detainees” went down since the launch of Justice Reboot. The average stay was 273 days in June 2016, down from
285 days in June 2015. Lancman disagrees. “I don’t understand how the administration can describe the Justice Reboot program as a success,” he said. “It’s marginal progress at best.” Ume acknowleged that the program was not intended to be a “one-time fix” and to cut down the case delays even further will require systemic change. Many defendants end up at Rikers after missing their court dates and getting warrants issued for their arrests. According to Ume, before the Justice Reboot program began, there was a 38 percent warrant rate for failure to appear in court. To reduce this rate, the city aimed to launch a pilot program that called or emailed defendants of their court date. However, this program was not yet implimented due to difficulties in gathering phone numbers, according to Allie Meizlich, associate council at MOCJ. Justice Reboot was conceived after the New Yorker reported on Kalief Browder’s incarceration at Rikers. At 16, Browder was jailed for allegedly stealing a backpack in 2010. He could not afford bail and spent the next 3 years at Rikers, most of it in solitary confinement, until finally being released in 2013 after having the charges dropped. The experiences of his time in jail eventually led to his suicide two years after his release, according to his family. “We’re trying to make a dent in solitary confinement to where it’s not being used in younger inmates,” Lancman said. “He spent a substantial amount of time there and it damaged him substantially and [he]ended up takQ ing his life.”

Runners from all corners of the globe descended on “The World’s Borough” last Sunday, as the New York City Marathon snaked its way through Long Island City. More than 50,000 runners crossed into Queens at the 13-mile mark, running over the Pulaski Bridge. After a quick left onto Jackson Avenue, marathoners made a hard right onto Vernon Boulevard.
After few more turns and two miles later, they swarmed onto the Queensboro Bridge to cross into Manhattan, but not before they received some encouragement from spectators in Long Island City. Some folks used elaborate and clever signs to motivate those running, while others just stood on the sidewalk and cheered their hearts out as the participants sped past them.

Suozzi beats Martins in congressional race Ex-Nassau county executive wins after large campaign effort in Qns. by Ryan Brady Associate Editor
Former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi has defeated state Sen. Jack Martins (R-Nassau) in the race for the 3rd Congressional District seat. “It couldn’t have been done without everyone in this room,” Suozzi said at his election party at the Cottage at the Milleridge Inn in Jericho, LI on Tuesday night. The former Glen Cove mayor thanked Martins for the race he ran, Rep. Steve Israel (D-Suffolk, Nassau, Queens) for his work for the district and the people who worked on his campaign. “Regardless of who the next president of the United States of America is, we need to really do some soul-searching,” Suozzi said. “We have to figure out what’s going on in this country and figure out how to bring people together again, to work together to actually address the problems that we face in this country.” He received 48 percent of the vote and Martins received 44 of it throughout the entire district, which reaches as far into northeastern Queens as Whitestone. In Queens, Suozzi won 59 percent of the vote and Martins won 28 percent of it. He was introduced by Borough President Melinda Katz, who endorsed Suozzi during the Democratic primary race for the seat.
Former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi defeated state Sen. Jack Martins in the race for the 3rd Congressional District and celebrated with his family during his election night party at the PHOTO BY RYAN BRADY Milleridge Inn in Jericho, LI. Aside from Katz, Suozzi was supported by Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside), Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Flushing), former City Comptroller John Liu, state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and Bay Terrace advocate Warren Schreiber. “Tom has worked unbelievably hard for everyone in this room,” Katz said. “He will
bring reform to Washington, he will bring unity to Washington.” “I love this country and I love the system we have and I know it’s the best possible system but we’ve gotta make it work for everybody,” the former county executive said. “We gotta make it work the way we worked during the course of this campaign.”
Along with people who supported him in Nassau and Suffolk counties, Suozzi thanked Katz and other Queens leaders who endorsed him for their support. “Right beside her throughout the entire process was a great councilman with a great family from Queens, really a wonderful guy, Paul Vallone,” he said. Martins congratulated Suozzi on his victory in a prepared statement. “While the outcome was not what we hoped and the race is over, it does not mean we will stop fighting for the ideals on which we ran,” he said. “Throughout this campaign, I’ve heard the frustration from people across Nassau, Suffolk and Queens about the direction our country is headed.” Suozzi, who plans on opening a district office in “The World’s Borough,” discussed his priorities in Washington with reporters from Queens in a conference call on Wednesday. “I’ve made a commitment to the people of northeastern Queens that I’m gonna help address the issue of airplane noise,” he said, adding that he would speak to air traffic controllers about the issue. The former Glen Cove mayor also said that he would be open to working with Trump as president, but would oppose “any discriminaQ tion, shenanigans or unfairness.”
216th Street bridge to close for good DOT: Structure would have to be rebuilt in compliance with disabilities law by Ryan Brady
For the latest news visit qchron.com
Associate Editor
The 216th St reet pedest r ian bridge, which goes over the Long Island Rail Road in Bayside, will be closed and removed, officials from the city Department of Transportation announced at Monday’s meeting of Community Board 11. “Because the bridge could only be rebuilt as an ADA-compliant bridge, the design that was determined had multiple switchbacks, so it was no longer a single staircase scaling the bridge,” DOT Queens Deputy Commissioner Al Silvestri said. “It was multiple switchbacks that went over the intersection in both directions.” “The intention is to remove it,” Silvestri said. “It’s gonna be closed and then we’re gonna begin the process of removal.” From the bridge’s north, pedestrians can walk over it to Northern Boulevard. In 2005, the Depar tment of Design and Construction determined that a rebuilding plan compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act would cost $2.5 million.
The DOT had determined that the bridge would have to be torn down or that access ramps would have to be added to it to make it compliant with the disabilities law. “There’s no way to get over the railroad tracks between Bell Boulevard and 221st Street,” Henry Euler, a member of the board’s Transportation Committee, told the Chronicle. “I just don’t want a situation where people t r y to cross the tracks.” At the meeting, Euler suggested to Silvestri that the DOT should consider making a pathway that goes under the tracks, but he did not seem to think it would work, saying that it would likely be cost-prohibitive. “I don’t even want to imagine the engineering issues with that,” said Silvestri, Euler and other board members had previously been presented with designs of a rebuilding of the bridge by DOT, but they were unpopular. “The design they came up with looked ridiculous,” Euler said. “It was like a circus ride — it was really very, very obtrusive.”
The Transportation Committee previously voted to keep the bridge open. “Local stakeholders expressed concern related to the aesthetics of the desig n, namely the ramps required for wheelchair and mobility-impaired access,” a DOT spokesperson said. “Following discussions back then and on various occasions ove r t h e p a s t d e c a d e , D O T informed stakeholders that, for safety purposes, the bridge would close once the structure served its usable life.” “In the interest of safety, DOT anticipates closing the 216th Street footbridge by December,” another agency spokesperson said. DOT spokesman Scott Gastel did not answer after being asked twice on Tuesday when the bridge would be removed and if a replacement was planned, although he answered other questions. “Finding a new solution with an acceptable design, while planning for the future with our capital money, is my hope,” Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) said in a Q prepared statement.
The Department of Transportation plans on closing the pedestrian bridge on 216th Street, which provides a walkway over the Long Island Rail PHOTO BY RICK MAIMAN Road tracks in Bayside, by the end of next month.

Conditional OK on Sunnyside school Community Board 2 seeks to protect historic facade of community garage by Matthew Bultman
“Invariably they tell us that it is easier, cheaper, greener, less wasteful, more sustainable and better to adapt this building and build upon it, rather than destroy this building,” he said. “So, wouldn’t you call that a win-win situation?” The SCA said it remains unclear whether it would be able to save the building, though it has vowed to try. Several parents were supportive of the idea, but emphasized that children should be the priority. Meredith Maskara, a mother of five, urged to board to vote “for the future of this community.” “Think about those kids over there and what we need to do for them,” she said. In addition to the architectural and zoning conditions attached to the community board’s approval Thursday, members stipulated that the board be included in an advisory capacity for the programming and Q design of the school.
Chronicle Contributor
With some prodding from their councilman and a handful of schoolchildren, Community Board 2 has endorsed a plan to build a middle school in Sunnyside. Board members voted almost unanimously last Thursday in favor of the School Construction Authority’s proposal to pursue the site on the corner of Barnett Avenue and 48th Street for a 600-seat middle school. The approval came with several stipulations, including that the SCA work to incorporate the facade of the historic Sunnyside Community Garage, which has been at the intersection for decades, and build a school that is architecturally consistent with the surrounding buildings. The board is also asking the school be zoned for School District 30 students, which encompasses Sunnyside and Woodside. “Make no mistake, we get opportunities to build schools and to educate generations of children just so often, just so frequently,” City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) told the board. “We have that moment here within our grasp and I believe we should take this opportunity.” Several youngsters were also on hand at the meeting inside Sunnyside Community Services to lobby for approval of the plan. Eve Smith, a sixth-grader at Hunters Point Community Middle School in Long Island City, said it takes her almost an hour on the bus to get to and from school each day. “I love my school very much and I was lucky to get in because they didn’t have room for everyone who wanted to go,” Smith said. “But it would have been nice to have the option to attend a local middle school.” The SCA was seeking feedback on the limited question of whether it should pursue the site at 38-04 48 St. for a school. The building there, originally a parking garage designed by noted architect Clarence Stein in the early 20th century, has been vacant since late 2013. While the SCA doesn’t have detailed plans for what a school might look like, a
Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, with mic, encourages members of Community Board 2 to approve the placement of a 600-seat middle school at the historic Sunnyside Community PHOTOS BY MATTHEW BULTMAN Garage on Barnett Avenue. representative at the meeting said that typically, a school for 600 students would need about 80,000 square feet of floor space. He estimated the building could be around four or five stories tall. “We need your approval to say ‘this site is good for a school. We want the school,’” the SCA representative, Michael Mirisola, told board members, before adding, “We all know you need a school.” It would likely be at least three years before the school is completed. The SCA still needs to design the building, which can take about a year. Mirisola said construction would likely take an additional 18 to 24 months. The board considered the SCA’s proposal at its October meeting but delayed a vote, wanting to get more details about the project. Stephen Cooper, one of two board members to vote against approval Thursday, said there were still too many unanswered
questions. “I trust Jimmy [Van Bramer],” he said. “I think he’s probably the best councilman we’ve ever had and I think he will do everything he can to make sure we get what we want. The problem is, trusting Jimmy doesn’t resolve my issues.” Many in the neighborhood agree that a school is sorely needed. By some estimates, School District 30 has thousands of students in overcrowded classrooms. However, there have been concerns about a lack of parking and traffic congestion in this particular area, among other things. A nu mb er of resident s h ave a lso expressed a desire to preserve the historic garage. Herbert Reynolds, a member of the Sunnyside Gardens Preservation Alliance, said his group had spoken with a number of historic preservation professionals who believe that is a possibility.

Queens among the top in fiscal growth by Bryant Rodriguez Chronicle Contributor
A recent study by financial technology company Smar tAsset ranked Queens County as No. 5 in the state for economic growth. The study aimed to pinpoint areas across the country that are receiving the most incoming investments in business, real estate, government and the local economy as a whole, according to the study’s website. Queens County was shown to have a business growth rate of 7.8 percent, second only to Kings County: Brooklyn. Queens
Study indicates economic vitality growth, in GDP as SmartAsset called it, totaled over $7 billion. “I think that’s really great and that’s terrific news,” Executive Director of the Queens Chamber of Commerce Tom Grech said. “But I think that it could be better if we weren’t encumbered by the rules and regulations from City Hall.” To help small business in Queens succeed, Grech mentioned several programs geared toward business owners, including one run by the city.
“We have some great programs, like Small Business Services, which has great support from Borough President Melinda Katz’s Office of Economic Development.” Grech commended SBS Comissioner Gregg Bishop. “My hat is off to [him],” he said. “He’s done a great job supporting the Chamber of Commerce.” He also mentioned Chamber on the Go, which empowers the Chamber to go out to the businesses. “We bring the power of the program right to the people all over
Queens,” Grech said. The study looked at four factors in determining its rankings: business establishment growth; GDP, or gross domestic product, growth; the rate of new building permits; and municipal bond investment. Those factors were weighed equally in scoring counties. Grech believes that major economic sectors influencing the growth in Queens are hospitality, tourism and healthcare. “I think we should make it easier for small business to get off the ground and flourish, meaning getting government out Q of the way,” Grech said.

changes,” the DOT said in an emailed statement. Robert Sinclair, spokesperson for AAA, said the “justification for it seems like a stretch.” He also said it seemed “ill conceived” to take away a lane of traffic and was unclear as to why the agency would put crosshatching there. The DOT said the crosshatching would prevent drivers from having to cross over two lanes of traffic over a very short distance to turn down 72nd Road. “DOT will inspect this location to review the markings and see if any other safety enhancements are necessary,” a DOT spokesperson said. Two weeks ago, the Chronicle went back to the site and noticed the crosshatching was no longer there, but new pavement was. The DOT declined to answer repeated requests for comment on whether the crossQ hatching would be put down again.
Chronicle Contributor
The Department of Transportation painted crosshatching along the eastbound service road of the Grand Central Parkway in Forest Hills a little over a month or so ago, but now it is no longer there. The Chronicle noticed the crosshatching between the off-ramp for exit 12 and the on-ramp to the parkway before exit 13. The marks shut down the lefthand lane of the service road, but drivers seemed to completly disregard them and occupied both lanes of traffic — at least when the street was busy. The DOT said its intentions were to have one travel lane and one parking lane, and that the crosshatching was designed to create stronger “visual cues” for drivers. Prior to this, drivers exiting the Grand Central Parkway merged with the two lanes of traffic on the service road. “This merge created a condition that encouraged sideswipes and aggressive lane

Ye olde ‘Britcoms’ take Queens theatergoers back to days of yore
For the latest news visit qchron.com
It has taken more than a decade for “Monty Python’s Spamalot,” which opened on Broadway in 2005, winning the Tony for Best Musical, to reach Queens, but thanks to the Royal Star Theatre, it’s here at last, running through Nov. 13. Lovingly ripped off from a film by the British surreal comedy group, the show is a parody depicting King Arthur’s quest to recruit his now-famous Knights of the Round Table and, under orders from God, to find the Holy Grail. The game performers appeared to have a ball at last Saturday night’s opening, and the audience was swept up in the shenanigans. Under the clever direction of Erik Neilssen, the action is nonstop, and, while the show might not be to everyone’s taste, it certainly offers a great deal of lighthearted entertainment in an action-packed two hours. Heading the cast is the resourceful Jim Haines, who makes for a forceful Arthur. Opposite him as the magical, diva-like Lady of the Lake, Jackie Moe makes an auspicious Queens debut, lending her soaring singing voice to several numbers. Whenever either is on stage, it makes for a happy occasion. Jason Kell, Mark York, Paul Mastrella and Anne Klatsky make for a well-matched quartet of knights, who join Arthur on his various adventures. Also on the journey is Amanda Montoni as Arthur’s servant Patsy, who, it turns out, can do a mean tap dance. In several small roles, Kaitlyn Abdul proves her versatility, and Ellen Armet is a scenestealer in a variety of walk-ons. Most of the cast, in fact, play multiple roles, all working together as a tightly knit ensemble. The one quibble: Having several females play male characters does, in some instances, prove a disservice to the show. The crackerjack band is led by musical director Paul Johnson; choreographer Lisa Bondi provided the lively steps; and the show has a great look thanks to the combined talents of the set, costume and lighting designers. continued on page 37

What are words worth? Can you take them at face value, or is there some hidden meaning lurking beneath? Communication is not a capability limited to humans, but the nuance of spoken language and the written word sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. At the Fisher Landau Center for Art in Long Island City, an exhibition called “Language as Representation” focuses on artists who have placed words in the large-scale paintings (and one silkscreen) themselves. Seeing words used in paintings tests the limits of their expression. Meaning can be added by giving the letters themselves a certain style, but it can be stripped away when featured in more abstract or conceptual work. The museum is an ideal viewing platform for such lofty topics. Its walls are crisp white and the floors an unblemished smooth concrete: a blank canvas for exploration and

thought experiments. Emily Fisher Landau took it upon herself to collect artwork from those considered to be contemporary masters of the American art scene, and the artists even in this 11-piece exhibition are notable. Names like Ed Ruscha and Richard Prince have become extremely well known in the art world, but that doesn’t mean their work is any less accessible. Ruscha’s three paintings are all very different from each other. “Mint” spells the word in amorphous green bubbles, meant to evoke streaks of water on a surface with white lighting around its edges. “Lion in Oil” meanwhile is a landscape of a snowy mountain peak mirrored around a central axis. The words “lion in oil” are done in Ruscha’s preferred Boy Scout Utility Modern font, or typeface, but are also a palindrome, wherein the letters are the same forwards and in reverse. Upon closer observation, one can see that the details don’t match quite perfectly from one side of the mountain the other, but on the whole are fairly reflective of the other side — reinforcing the palindrome. “Life” is interesting for its surreal dusky sunset landscape setting. The colors seem out of place, from a bruised sky to a neon green haze just above the ground. The letters in “life” are hazed out so as to evoke clouds, and there’s an odd effect where from a distance the letters appear crisper and easier to read, but up close they seem to lose their shape, melting away.

Prince’s style is much more conceptual than Ruscha’s. Each of his two paintings contains a one-line joke. But “Most of the Time” isn’t laugh-out-loud funny and strikes a darker note, alluding to an unhappy home life and suicide. The deadpan delivery of the joke shows how language can be used to subvert imagery and vice versa. Neil Jenney’s “Paint and Painted” is also conceptual, and continued on page 39

The joy of creating, and building young minds by Peter C. Mastrosimone editor-in-chief
If you’ve got children between 18 months and 10 years old, one place you should really bring them to expand their developing minds is the New York Hall of Science, on any Sunday, for the Little Makers program. This is where the STEM topics, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, are introduced to youngsters in an ageappropriate and fun way that keeps them coming back for more. It’s where they learn To Create. To Make. To Solve. And maybe get a little messy in the process — what kid doesn’t enjoy that? “Little Makers is an opportunity for the whole family to delve into early STEM learning in a way that is playful and joyful and

paves the way for continued interest in science as their children grow,” said Janella Watson, NYSCI’s director of early childhood education. “We typically see young children about 3 to 6 years of age, but the workshops are intended to engage the whole family, and we really see a broad age range.” The breadth of activities is broad too. This Sunday it’ll be Play-Dough Robots, in which the families will disassemble old electronic devices and then — using Play-Doh, Model Magic or clay — craft little androids with unique, recycled circuitry. Last week, the topic was hand-sewing, with the children making their own textile creations using needle and thread — with close parental guidance. The event drew even more than the usual 20 to 25 families over two hours, Watson said. “A lot of the families were able to do this all together, so we saw a lot of hand-overhand collaboration,” she said. “Because the kids had a hand in designing what they wanted to make, there was a lot of personal investment, which made them want to complete the project.” And while not every Little Maker program would interest those near or at double digits,
Sew Fun sure did. Little Makers has been running every Sunday since the winter of 2012-13. It started when Watson joined NYSCI and wanted to give the hall’s youngest visitors a foothold in the Maker Space, where a number of creative programs are held.

Merry Olde England invades the Queens stage continued from from page page 00 33 continued Anyone who enjoys puns, sword fights and men in tights should have a ball. (One word of caution: Don’t be surprised if you find yourself on stage!) There’s also plenty to admire in another current offering, set during a more recent distant past, The Gingerbread Players’ production of William Shakespeare’s comic battle of the sexes, “The Taming of the Shrew,” also staged through Nov. 13. In the play, which should rankle feminists and all who support them, Katherine, the shrew of the title, notorious for her temper and scolding tongue, agrees to marry one Petruchio, who sets out to turn her into an obedient wife, using methods both physical and psychological. David Friedman brings great energy and a stentorian voice to the role of Petruchio, while Joanna Friedman, as his intended, is not the spitfire she might be early on but makes
for a lovely Katherine once the change in personality takes effect. Her final monologue, in which Kate elaborates on why women should always obey their husbands, is one of the evening’s highlights. They are given tremendous support by several members of the company. In a chancy casting move that contradicts Shakespearean tradition, Louise Guinther proves winning, indeed, in a male role, Tranio, manservant to Lucentio, one of a trio of suitors wooing Kate’s sister, Bianca, brought delightfully to life by Terri Matassov. Jim Chamberlain adds another memorable performance to his resume as one of the suitors, Hortensio, as does Andrew Dinan, another longtime Gingerbread Player, as Gremio, another suitor. Ludovic Coutaud plays the lovesick Lucentio too broadly, while Nick Cuttonaro, as Baptista, father of Kate and Bianca, too often underplays his role. The costumes, conceived and built by Joanna Friedman, are simply gorgeous, bringing a great deal of color and period feel to the stage; the set design by Rosemary Favia is overly simple.

continued from page 35 a multilevel exercise. The painting is of a paint tray overflowing with paint, in what appears to be a corner it has painted itself into. But the frame of the painting itself is also painted, and is shaped like a paint tray itself. The words “paint and painted” are painted directly onto the frame itself. Suzanne McClelland’s “alright, alright, alright” might be the most impressive in terms of sheer simplicity of message. Each “alright” is progressively larger than the last, and the words become not just a phrase but also an exaltation, shouted with
fervor — you can almost hear it. Each charcoal calligraphed word is more freewheeling than the last, expanding outwards amidst a white spray on a sky blue canvas. McClelland so concisely conveys the feeling of divine ecstasy that one can’t help but become captivated by the work. “Language as Representation” is a concise and at times highbrow look at the conceptual and formal uses of words in visual art, but it remains accessible to any visitor curious enough. And the Fisher Landau Center has shown the kind of niche it can fill in Queens by showing some of the best contemporary art of the last five decades. Q

Beauty was fleeting at short-lived hair salon by Ron Marzlock Chronicle Contributor
Many people start out in life having a dream of owning their own business. In 1960 Helene Scott built a small 32-by-52-foot building containing 700 square feet. A beautiful n e o n ch r o m e sig n a nd clo ck ador ned the building, bringing beauty to the block. Not in a very populated residential area, Helene’s House of Beauty never made much money. In 1969 the City of New York Municipal Service Administration Department of Real Estate seized the building and tried to Helene’s House of Beauty, 137-81 Farmers Blvd. sell it for back taxes.

Not Jeurys prudent by Lloyd Carroll Chronicle Contributor
When the Mets season ended a month ago, their fans had ample reasons to be optimistic about 2017. Their team made the playoffs in spite of season-ending injuries to countless players and the consensus was that most, if not all, of the injured players would be ready by spring training. The news last week was not exactly sanguine, although it had nothing to do with injuries. As expected, the team’s leading slugger, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, opted out of his contract and is now a free agent. While not shocking, it means that Mets fans will have to relive the Sturm and Drang of last winter when Cespedes also opted out of his contract. What was completely unexpected though was the arrest of team closer Jeurys Familia for a domestic violence incident that occurred in Fort Lee, NJ. Familia has long been popular with teammates, fans and the media because of his easygoing style and perpetual smile. Adding to the irony of the situation was that he taped a public service announcement decrying domestic violence just weeks earlier. Athletes today have to be aware of any supplement that they put in their bodies and have to avoid any type of physical domestic dispute even though they, like all citizens, are innocent until proven guilty in a courtroom.

Unfortunately for Familia, sports commissioners are suspending players accused of domestic violence for sizable chunks of the season even before the courts act. NFL head Roger Goodell was pilloried for initially going too easy on running back Ray Rice when a video surfaced showing the Ravens running back getting into a physical altercation with his fiancée. MLB chief Rob Manfred certainly did not want to repeat Goodell’s public relations disaster, suspending relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman for 30 games and shortstop Jose Reyes for 52 after their domestic violence cases became public. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has to figure that Manfred will give a punishment similar to what Reyes got last year, when he was on the Colorado Rockies, who quickly cut ties with him. The Mets then signed Reyes, who was a very popular player before he left as a free agent in 2011. Alderson will now be forced to look for help for the Mets bullpen, as if he did not have enough to worry about for 2017. It’s highly unlikely that the Mets will release Familia because he is valuable to the team. Jeurys is a known commodity here and so if the Mets were to retain him on the roster it probably would not set off much public outrage. New Yorkers are generally pretty good about giving second chances to the athletes that they like. Q See the extended version of Sports Beat every week at qchron.com.
