Halloran out, Saffran Gets GoP Nod

By Joe Marvilli Embattled Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone) has decided against seeking re-election for his seat in the 19th City Council district.

The news came around the same time that the Queens GOP chose to endorse Dennis Saffran, a Republican candidate vying for the position. While the screening committee voted unanimously to back him last week, the decision was made official by the executive committee on April 30.

Halloran’s decision was released about one month after he was arrested in an FBI sting operation.

Although he will not seek re-election, Halloran has no plans to resign.

“Regrettably, I must now focus my attention on clearing my name and restoring my reputation, while I continue to discharge my sworn duties as a member of the New York City Council,” Halloran said in a press release. “I have concluded that it is impossible for me to properly do these things and take on the enormous demands of a political campaign, so I will not to pursue another term in the Council.”

The Queens GOP chose instead to back Saffran, a candidate who came

last month’s arrests.

“I’ve always had a reputation for honor and integrity,” he said. “We have to restore that after what’s happened with Halloran.”

Another issue for him is public safety, touting his previous support for Rudy Giuliani’s crime initiatives when he was mayor and giving credit to Mayor Michael Bloomberg for keeping the crime rate down. He supports Stop and Frisk, Dennis Saffran Councilman which he called the most efDan Halloran fective gun program in the very close to beating the previous councountry, though he is for cilman, now State Sen.

Saffran said he plans to run on the “Councilman Halloran’s decision platform of four major issues that he to not seek re-election is the right one feels are important to the residents of for the people of our district,” Austin Northeast Queens. The first one is good Shafran said. “They deserve a full-time government, a major topic for him after Councilman who is focused on working

for the people of Queens, not his own legal defense.”

“Councilman Halloran’s decision to not seek re-election is an appropriate end to an inappropriate career in politics,” Paul Graziano said. “Councilman Halloran’s bad behavior has affected not only the ability of his Council office to function, but the other actions that he has taken during his tenure that have frankly been hostile to our neighborhoods.”

“This is the right decision for those of us who live in the district,” John Duane said. “It’s good that this sad chapter for Northeast Queens is coming to a close.

Now we can focus on restoring the public trust and integrity to our City government.”

“The residents of northeast Queens deserve representation they can be proud of and a principled City Council member who is accountable to the will of the people,” Paul Vallone said.

“Now is the time for integrity and trust – principles which the Vallone Family has embodied for over three generations.”

education Task Force Meets For The 1st Time

By TriSHa SakHuJa New York City public schools struggle to fit thousands of students each year within the building capacity, but instead are forced to push the students out into the transportable classrooms.

Council District 21 is very much aware of the implications of overcrowding in school Districts 24 and 30.

District 24 is the third most overcrowded district in the City, with 65 percent of its schools overcrowded, while District 30 is the sixth most overcrowded and 55 percent of its schools are overcrowded.

Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (DEast Elmhurst) and the Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott held the first meeting of the newly-formed Education Task Force at the Langston Hughes Library in Corona on April 25.

The Education Task Force’s goal is to reduce overcrowding, create a holistic procedure, which includes parents and the community in the rezoning process, consider space capacity for co-location and address the issues surrounding portable classrooms. By meeting with members of the community – parents, teachers, faculty, Community Education Councils and local elected officials - a cohesive short and long-term plan to address overcrowding and its ineffectiveness is the main topic of debate.

“Overcrowding is an issue we take seriously and we have worked closely with communities across the city to ensure schools have space,” said Walcott.

“In Districts 24 and 30, we have worked

with the Community Education Councils and local elected officials to alleviate overcrowding and opened 12 new buildings in the past five years nearly 6,400 new seats, in addition to leasing extra space for overcrowded schools.”

No new transportable classrooms have been built since 1990.

“We have 500 children sitting inside temporary facilities that are in constant need of repair and the students are required to go in and out of the building regardless of the weather,” said Principal of PS 19Q, Genie Calibar. “We are constantly worried about the safety of

our children sitting inside the trailers.”

“I am very worried about agitating my son’s asthma because he has to go in and out of the portable classrooms,” said Martha Sanchez, a parent leader from Make the Road New York and mother of two elementary school students in District 24 schools.

Ferreras explained how difficult it is to seek vacant and suitable construction sites to build new schools on, therefore it is not always easy to add new seats, but with the help of the Dept. of Education, they plan to open 12 new buildings and three building ex-

tensions within the next three years.

“We need to be very creative in our approach to find new space, so please look out for empty warehouses and vacant lots,” said Ferreras.

“The steps to build a new school require a suitable construction site, which needs to be environmentally sound and meets a certain size requirement, while providing adequate light and air ventilation,” said Lorraine Grillo, president of the School Construction Authority (SCA).

“The construction of a new school must also go through a public approval process, which more often than not is a topic of opposition from the local community,” said Grillo. “The design of the building is done after the approval, in addition to the public bid and construction of the school, which can take up to a few years to complete.”

“We have built a lot, but we need to build more,” said Walcott. “We are open to ideas, suggestions and feedback for the future because we are conscious about the issue.”

“Over the years, there have been some creative approaches to dealing with the overcrowding crisis,” said State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst).

“But for all the zoning and rezoning, until there’s a seat for every child, it is all a game of musical chairs. No matter what you do, someone is left standing.

Children lose.”

Former Comptroller Bill Thompson speaks with the Tribune editorial board.

By Luis GronDa In the first of the Queens Tribune’s series of sit-downs with City and Queens officials running for elected office, mayoral candidate Bill Thompson discussed a number of different topics with the Tribune’s editorial staff.

Thompson is one of several Democratic candidates vying to be the next mayor of New York City. He is most known for his time as New York City Comptroller from 2002 to 2009, but he has also worked for the City’s Board of Education in the past as well. This is the second time Thompson has run for mayor following his unsuccessful run for the seat in 2009.

Among the subjects discussed during his talk with the Tribune include Citywide such as Stop and Frisk, mayoral control of public schools and Borough issues such as possibly building a soccer stadium at Flushing-Meadows Corona Park.

Regarding Stop and Frisk, Thompson said that, while he supports using the measure as a way to fight crime, he believes it needs to be reformed because it is being used more now to meet quotas rather than its original purpose of stopping people that may be doing suspicious activity.

“You can have a commissioner who is tough on crime, a mayor who is tough on crime, who isn’t going to take steps back, but at the same point, you don’t wind up throwing people’s rights out the window,” Thompson said.

He also recalled a conversation he had with a police officer who told him that Stop and Frisk is being misused.

“What he said is ‘look, there’s an art to being a police officer, I know who I should stop and who I shouldn’t stop.

They’re removing the discretion away from me in telling me, you have to do five or six today,’” the candidate said.

On the issue of mayoral control of the City’s schools, Thompson said that he supports keeping mayoral control, with

some tweaks to how it is organized. Specifically, he said that he would decrease the number of Panel For Educational Policy members to about five members and give them a one or two year term because it would make them more accountable for what they vote for. He also said he would shift the City’s focus away from standardized testing and support a moratorium on school closings and co-locations, and instead work on improving the schools that need help.

Thompson was noncommittal when asked whether or not he would support Major League Soccer building a stadium for the league’s 20th team at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, only saying that there are still questions left to be answered, including what MLS will do for the Borough and the City in return for using that space to build the stadium.

“I still think that there’s a ways to go.

You’re really looking at what’s the land swap on that,” he said. “You do have parkland that isn’t exactly up-to-grade.

What are they going to do in return for that space?”

When asked about how the City has done recovering from Superstorm Sandy, Thompson said that the City’s initial response after the storm was poor because many people in the affected areas were left wondering when they were going to get the help they needed in such a difficult time. He added that, moving forward, measures need to be taken to lessen the damage the coastal areas take from flooding and to be better prepared for a storm of Sandy’s magnitude. Building your house higher off the ground and constructing a sea wall near the water are two ideas Thompson mentioned as possible remedies.

“It’s a combination of things to make sure that the next extreme weather system that hits us, that we’re in a very different place,” he said.

By JOe MarViLLi While being healthier has been a longtime goal of the Dept. of Education and the City government, one school in Flushing is leading by example.

PS 244, the Active Learning Elementary School, is now the first New York City public school to serve an all-vegetarian menu. According to a press release, it is one of the first public schools in the country to do so as well.

Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott was on hand in the school’s cafeteria on April 30 to celebrate the achievement with PS 244’s faculty, staff and a third grade class.

“When we see that instilled in our students, that’s to me the greatest thing because it values everything that we’re about as far as healthy eating, high learning taking place in our classrooms and making sure our students succeed and do well,” he said.

The school, located at 137-20 Franklin Ave., has been working towards this goal since it opened in 2008, said principal Robert Groff.

“About six years ago, a small group of us laid out a vision for a school that would focus not only on educating students academically but also on how to live healthy lives,” he said. “We believed that if we taught kids how to make healthy choices, that it would help them grow as students as well as well-rounded children, educating their mind, body and character.”

Queens School’s Menu Goes Vegetarian

Chancellor Dennis Walcott sits with students at PS 244 to discuss the school’s new all-vegetarian menu.

While the vegetarian menu was initially only three days a week, it slowly expanded to four days a week and then switched over to an all-vegetarian cuisine early this year.

“I hope that today’s events inspire other schools to work towards making

the changes that we have,” Groff said.

Also on hand to celebrate the achievement was Eric Goldstein, CEO of School Support Services, and Amie Hamlin, executive director of New York Coalition for Healthy School Food.

“It’s been a revolution in school food.

We can remember back in the day when we went to school, the concept of an allvegetarian public school was something unheard of,” Goldstein said. “Thank you for allowing us to serve you guys.”

“PS 244 is indeed special,” Hamlin added. “This school is willing to take a chance and try out a vegetarian menu and we are so pleased that it’s been so well received by the students and their families.”

Walcott praised the school and its staff for taking the initiative on creating the all-vegetarian menu, mentioning that one of the students’ parents is a cook at the school as well. Two of her recipes are being used in other schools in addition to PS 244.

“The beauty of today’s announcement is it is not driven by all of us in tweed,” Walcott said. “This is really coming from the school directly; from the parents, from the students, from the staff, working with our not-for-profit partner to make sure they came up with menus that provide healthy options for our students.”

After the press conference ended, Walcott joined the 3rd grade for lunch, looking at a menu that included a black bean and cheddar quesadilla, red roasted potatoes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cheese sandwiches and fresh fruit.

Edit Page Speak Up

In Our Opinion:

Not For Sale The people of Queens have suffered indignities at the hands of our City officials for too long, and the latest slap in our faces is the proposed plan to develop a soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

We’ve been told many times that the parkland that Mayor Michael Bloomberg has offered up to Major League Soccer is the best place for a soccer stadium - no other site will do. There was no public hearing, no open proposal period. The land has been given away for a pittance, forcing those who use the land to pay the price.

As we reported this week, there have always been alternative sites available, but for reasons that have never been explained, those sites were never looked at. The Mayor offered up our parkland without giving the people of Queens a say in the matter.

Transparency has been a dirty word in this deal.

We should not take this indignity lying down. We should unite with one voice to speak out against these crimes against our communities. Flushing Meadows Corona Park should not be put up for sale, and our City government should open its doors and let us in on the process. Our elected officials should also stand with their constituents and defend this historic piece of land in the heart of Queens. Let the City know that the park is without question not for sale.

We invite our readers to speak their minds. Visit our Facebook page and take part in the poll featured on that page and leave a comment. Let our elected officials know that their actions here are unacceptable and we will no longer suffer these indignities they seemed so determined to commit.

In Your Opinion: Promises To Keep

To The Editor: Permit me to remind the Metropolitan Transit Authority about their public commitment, promise and obligation to build the promised elevator at the heart of transportation in the Richmond Hill community - the Lefferts Boulevard and Liberty Avenue subway stop, on behalf of your many readers living and working here.

MTA representatives had announced that six subway stations in the Richmond Hill/Ozone Park area will get renovations that were expected to start since December last year. They made that commitment at several public meetings with Community Boards, community leaders and others, but the project has not yet begun.

I make this public appeal on behalf of the many seniors, kids, the disabled, students, workers and everyone in our community who would benefit greatly from an elevator which makes mobility and travel easier, and would love to see this project completed. The Richmond Hill community is one of the few com-

munities that does not have any escalators or elevators serving subway patrons, and that must change.

The plan was to implement subway renovation projects in Ozone Park and Richmond Hill, with the Ozone Park-Lefferts Boulevard A Train subway station receiving an elevator, from street level up to the station. Several of the platforms along the Lefferts-bound A Train, including the Rockaway Boulevard station, were also slated to receive repairs including a new paint job and decorated with sculptures from local artists.

According to Joseph Raskin, Assistant Director of Government and Community Relations at the MTA, the addition of the elevator and platform renovations are, in part, to make access easier for a person with a disability and so that it’s compatible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As a matter of customer obligation and due compliance with federal law, this project is long overdue.

To the Editor: The only way to defeat the stranglehold gun manufacturers and the NRA have on legislatures is for all media outlets to publicize the names of every senator and assemblyman on both federal and state levels. Voters should see what they get for their votes. Those against background checks, licensing all guns and limiting the number of rounds in any gun may wake up to the fact that random violence may take the life of a loved one or their own.

Each of us has a breaking point. We say a murderer has just “snapped.” For those who knew the killer, only saw the gentle side of him. Among the most vulnerable are our police and guardians of prisons, schools and mental hospitals.

As both a volunteer and intern at psychiatric hospitals, I had been assaulted twice. Even though these instances were quite rare, outside these institutions as well as within them, assault weapons, especially, are the most horrendous.

Any gun, knife or instrument can cause serious injury or death, we know. However, I am most concerned about the lives of youngsters who are wasted by guns of all kinds. Every day a little child is killed by “mistake” – some by a selfinflicted wound.

Thoughtful parents make sure any potential weapon is secured, safely out of reach of any child at home or visiting elsewhere.

We are thankful for our Senators, members of the State and Federal assemblies, city councils, mayors, governors and police chiefs, united for safer cities, towns and hamlets, schools, hospitals and all public areas.

Let us not tempt fate! Dump the naysayers in government who decry any type of gun reform. Our prayers are not enough! Pick up a pen, go to your e-mail, smart phone, telephone; attend your local civic association; write to your newspapers. We are a much bigger lobby than the NRA. Speak up for your right to life.

made serving in the armed forces during wartime. Unfortunately, this green area is frequently littered. Recently, I picked up a bag of cups, remains of lunches and other bits and pieces of debris that some people thoughtlessly left behind near this symbol of honor. And I thought how disgraceful that this special site should be befouled with garbage, this site where we should be remembering and respecting our fallen heroes.

This is not the first time I stopped to pick up litter there. There used to be a litter basket by the bus stop in front of the monument. But it is gone. Again.

My understanding is that Sanitation keeps taking the baskets away because people keep putting household garbage in them. But is it better to take away the baskets and have litter left on the ground by the monument and other areas? It does not make sense to me.

Litter baskets along much of Northern Blvd. keep getting removed. So where does the debris go? It goes in the streets, or is left on the sidewalks, or it clogs the catch basins, or it lands in green areas. I walk a lot and I have been astonished at the amount of litter that I see on my travels of late. Garbage and litter is also a problem by many businesses throughout the community. And let’s not forget the dog poop issue. Why do some owners allow their pets to poop on sidewalks and then just leave it behind for someone to step in?

It is time for all of us to be more cognizant about these problems. If you have litter, please dispose of it properly. Please pick up after your pet like most owners do. Sanitation also has to improve its efforts in confronting this issue. All members of the community, including businesses, should do their part in keeping their neighborhood litter free and beautiful.

Trade Fair Workers Continue To Fight

By Trisha sakhuja Locked out Trade Fair supermarket workers continue to pressure Farid Jaber, the owner of nine Trade Fair supermarkets in Queens, to legally end the now six-week-long lockout of 100 unionized meat workers.

Union members of the United and Food Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 342, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan), Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), the Alliance of South Asian American Labor (ASAAL), concerned families and neighboring local unions were all present at the rally supporting the locked out meat workers on April 26 at a Trade Fair location in East Elmhurst.

In comparison to the first rally, the second one consisted of more people and it made a louder impact because of the drums playing in the background of the strident chanting “Who’s the rat?

Trade Fair.”

Employees of Trade Fair alleged unfair practices during the time of contract negotiations, which included harassment, intimidation and threats of termination. To retaliate against the unfair management at Trade Fair, Local 342 filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board and the workers began an Unfair Labor Practice strike on March 13.

Winburn’s showcase is “The Way Women Perceive Men Perceive Women Perceive Men, by a Man,” a satirical dance. While he is foremost an actor, Winburn chose to pursue dance in 2009 in order to become more in touch with his “ungainly” body. He has worked with choreographers Nicco Annan, Yin Mei Critchell, Joseph Mills, Svetlana Ovsyannikova and Trebien Pollard to get the results he is looking for and is hoping to success with his up-coming first choreography. In his last year at QC, he is double majoring in drama and dance.

Beneventano’s performance is a work-in-progress called “You Can Just Go.” It explores fluidity, stillness and partnering. Beneventano graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Dance from QC in 2011. She received the Farah Marcelus Award for Choreography and the Edward M. Greenberg Musical Theatre Award when she graduated.

During her time at the school, the dancer performed in her own works as well as those by several artists including Edisa Weeks, an assistant professor of Dance at QC. “What is exciting about this year’s showcase, is that each work is very different and reflects a range of experiences and abilities,” Weeks said.

Residents Concerned About Q10 Expansion

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has expanded several bus stops along the Q10 bus route, and some community members and business owners are concerned about the possible effects it could have on those neighborhoods.

Starting this week, the MTA has deployed articulated buses on the limited Q10 line that will allow for more pas-

sengers to ride the bus that runs back and forth from John F. Kennedy Airport to Kew Gardens.

According to Kevin Ortiz, an MTA spokesman, the expansion will allow more space for the bigger buses to pull over when they drop off passengers.

These buses have a connected part in the rear of the vehicle that allows them to take more customers on their route.

Ortiz said that these buses are being used on this route in order to meet service demands for the Q10 that, in part, has been exacerbated with the A train not running to the Rockaways. But Community Board 9, while satisfied with the project overall because they have been calling for bigger buses on that route, said that the MTA did not reach out to them before implementing the project and did not give them a chance to speak with them before it went through.

Mary Ann Carey, District Manager of CB 9, penned a letter to the MTA expressing their frustration.

“We were not informed of the removal of parking meters and the extension of the bus pad to accommodate these larger buses,” Carey wrote in the letter.

“You did this without consideration of the impact on the businesses and residential communities along Lefferts Boulevard, which are drastically affected by this change.”

In an interview with the Queens Tribune, Carey also said that the board would have also liked to have known about the expansion with more time so that they could inform the areas within CB 9 that would be affected. She said they only heard about it three days beforehand.

Shaul Rosenblum, the manager of the Rosenblum Grocery Store on Lefferts Boulevard right off of Metropolitan Avenue and Abingdon Road, said that the lost parking spaces near the store will have a negative effect on the storefronts in that area because it will make it more difficult to find parking, which could lead to customers choosing to spend their dollars elsewhere. He added that the lack of parking will become frustrating for the residents that live near there as well.

“You come home late at night and you have to circle around the block until you can park,” he said.

A petition has circulated among the residents and storefronts expressing their concern over the parking. According to Rosenblum, over 400 people have signed it so far. Three parking spots were lost in that area as a result of the expansion.

Ortiz said that the DOT has taken into consideration the concerns about parking in relation to this project, but the conversion to the bigger buses is needed to meet the volume of people that ride the Q10 on a daily basis. According to a DOT spokesperson, 14 parking spaces were eliminated by expanding the bus stops.

Caruana to Oppose Crowley for d30 seat

By Luis GrOnda A Middle Village activist is looking to bring one City Council seat back under Republican control.

Craig Caruana officially announced his intention to run for the District 30 Council seat currently held by Council-

woman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village).

Caruana said he believed that Crowley was not addressing enough issues that cause concern for her constituents.

One issue is the rising water and property tax rates in the district and

school To Be named after Geraldine Ferraro

By Luis GrOnda Geraldine Ferraro is getting a school named in her honor.

The Dept. of Education announced last week that the former PS 290, which will open as the A.C.E Academy for Scholars in September 2014, will be renamed the Geraldine Ferraro Campus.

Ferraro was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1979 to 1985 and was the first woman candidate for Vice President when Walter Mondale ran for President in 1984. She also had the intersection of Austin Street and Ascan Avenue in Forest Hills co-named “Geraldine Ferraro Way” in tribute to her as well.

DOE Chancellor Dennis Walcott was complimentary in naming the school after the former Congresswoman who passed away in 2011.

“I am thrilled to announce the name of this new campus after a Congresswoman who was a teacher at one point

in her career and continues to be an inspiration to youngsters around the country who are interested in public service,” Walcott said in a press release announcing the honor.

Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan (DSunnyside) was also elated about naming the school for Ferraro.

“I have championed both this school and this name from the beginning and could think of no other person more fitting to have a school named in their honor,” she said. “Geraldine Ferraro was a great role model to me and countless other women in politics, a champion for our community, city and state, a wonderful member of Congress, teacher, lawyer and an inspiration to us all.”

The school is located at 55-20 Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood, close to where Ferraro’s district office used to be.

throughout the Borough. He said that while Crowley does not necessarily need to come up with a grand solution for those problems, it needs to be addressed in some fashion - something that Caruana said she has not done during her time as councilmember.

The amount of discretionary funds for the district is another problem that Caruana brought up as a reason for running.

According to data on the amount of discretionary funds allocated for the 2013 fiscal year, Crowley received the lowest amount of funding of all the Queens council members and the second least in the City overall. Only Brooklyn Councilman Charles Barron received less funding than Crowley for this year. She got $378,321 for that funding, half of what she received in the previous fiscal year.

According to published reports, the possible reason for the decrease was Crowley’s run for Congress last year, but according to a New York Times article earlier this year, Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) cut her funding as retaliation for not naming her in a press release that Crowley’s office sent out about firehouses in her district, a report that Quinn later denied.

Despite their disagreement, Caruana said that Crowley should have done more to get discretionary funding for the district that covers Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood and parts of Woodhaven and Richmond Hill.

“That’s not an excuse,” Caruana said.

“We should have a City Councilmember

Craig Caruana that can work with other politicians.”

If elected, Caruana said he would make sure there was time to address constituent issues, try to reduce the cost of living for the residents of Queens and reduce regulations on small businesses.

Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) and former Congressman Bob Turner joined Caruana at his press conference last week in support of his council bid.

“I know Craig, he’s an honest person with integrity who fights for what he believes in,” Ulrich said in a statement. “He is going to be a strong advocate and one that’s needed in times like this.”

According to the latest filing numbers from the New York City Campaign Finance Board, Caruana has raised $15,716 for his campaign so far. In comparison, Crowley has raised $133,473 for her reelection bid.

Smoking Age Increase Raises Eyebrows While business owners and leaders agree with the idea of decreasing the smoking rate, they feel that the council is going about it in the wrong way.

“Raising the cigarettes smoking age from 18 to 21 does nothing in terms of consumption. The problem is when you raise it to 21; you’re fueling the black market even more. The black market for cigarettes is tremendous already,” Brad Gerstman, spokesperson for the New York Association of Grocery Stores, said.

Gerstman added that the legislation would hurt sales not due to a decrease in tobacco products sold, but due to a decrease in sales for other products when customers do not come by to buy cigarettes.

“Cigarettes don’t make retailers any money. When people come for cigarettes, they buy other items,” he said.

Raj Sawlani of Bayside Smoke Shop also felt the restrictions would hurt businesses, especially those close to Long Island, using the banned flavored tobacco products as an example.

“A lot of the people that smoke flavored cigars, all they have to do is drive five minutes away to Long Island,” he said.

By Joe Marvilli While the City Council is considering raising the purchase age for tobacco products, some business owners feel the regulations will hurt their bottom line.

On April 22, Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan), Councilman James Gennaro (D-Fresh Meadows), Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley and various health advocacy organizations announced that the City Council will be taking up legislation to increase the minimum smoking age from 18 to 21 in New York City.

According to the press release, 80 percent of smokers in New York start before they turn 21. By raising the purchase age to 21, the chances of young people buying tobacco products themselves or having an older friend buy them greatly decreases. It also states that there is evidence that those who smoke at an earlier age are more likely to develop a strong addiction to nicotine than those who start at an older age.

The legislation would also make enforcement of the age restriction easier as many New York State drivers’ licenses already indicate when its owner is younger than 21 years old.

Business, Banking & Real Estate

Many feel the potential health benefits make the legislation a must.

“It’s a great idea,” Phil Konigsberg, Community Board 7 member, said.

“One thing I’ve certainly noticed is that the only way to keep the tobacco industry going is to get a replacement smoker. The main focus of that is the teenage smoker.”

SOCCER SHOWDOWN

Page 14 Tribune May 2-8, 2013 • www.queenstribune.com

For months, Queens activists have debated the merits of a proposed soccer stadium within Flushing Meadows Corona Park. With each discussion about the proposal, one question has been repeated: “Does the stadium have to be built in the middle of a park?”

Not everyone believes that it does.

Just over the border into Nassau County, the Belmont Park in Elmont is the home to one of the elite tracks in horse racing. It is also home to a large parking lot that sits empty most of the time. The Empire State Development Corp. is looking to change that. The ESDC last year put out a Request For Proposals for the site, with the hopes of generating some economic activity on the land.

One of the proposals submitted may put the claims of some soccer stadium advocates – that Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the best place for a soccer stadium – to the test.

The Proposal The New York Cosmos, in conjunction with the Queens-based Mattone Group, has submitted a proposal to the ESDC to build a new soccer stadium at Belmont Park. The proposal would create a sports complex at the race track, along with retail space.

The Cosmos, members of the North American Soccer League, will field its first team in more than 30 years this summer, kicking off their return season in August. The team will play at Hofstra University in Hempstead. But the team is looking at a long-term strategy and is seeking a stadium of its own to play home games.

When the RFP for the site at Belmont came out, the team jumped at the chance.

“We chose Belmont Park after extensive due diligence on other locations,” Cosmos COO Erik Stover said.

“There were numerous factors that made the site perfect for us.”

The proposal submitted by the Cosmos and Mattone Group calls for a 25,000-seat stadium, a 175-room hotel, about 300,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and a 4.3-acre community park. Construction for the proposal is expected to cost around $374 million, which will be funded privately.

Michael Mattone, chief financial officer of the Mattone Group, said the stadium and retail complex would create more than 2,000 jobs through ongoing operation of the complex in addition to about 1,000 construction jobs.

Mattone noted that the stadium proposal – the only proposal to be publicly announced – has received positive response during informal discussions in Elmont. He said he believed the stadium proposal would be beneficial for the race track.

“Creating a sports complex [at the Belmont Race Track], long term, will do more to help the track,” he said.

“Big box retail alone won’t do that.”

The Cosmos echoed that sentiment.

“We also belive the stadium and multi-use complex will be extremely beneficial in helping to support the state’s vision to re-energize the Belmont Race Track and its surrounding community,” Stover said.

According to the Cosmos, if the State accepts the proposal, the stadium would be completed by the end of 2015, and would open in spring 2016. Retail shops would be open in the fall of 2015.

Renderings provided by the Mattone Group. other, the two soccer stadium proposals would undoubtedly draw comparisons. While Major League Soccer has played much of its plan close to its vest – negotiations continue for a team owner, expected to be announced next month – Mattone and the Cosmos say they have been open with their proposal.

The proposal set forth by Major League Soccer calls for a 25,000-seat stadium on up to 13 acres of land in what is now the closed-off Fountain of Planets. MLS announced in October that the organization expects the $300 million stadium to generate up to 2,300 construction jobs, 160 full-time positions and 750 part-time jobs.

Both the Cosmos and the Mattones have touted the plans to place their new stadium in the middle of an empty parking lot as a benefit to their proposal.

“We’re looking to build a stadium on an asphalt wasteland,” Mattone said. “In fact, we’d be adding parkland to that area.”

Other questions that have been raised by the MLS stadium proposal include potential zoning issues at the park and the need for access roads to the stadium. MLS has stated that they plan to use the existing infrastructure around the park – including parking at the adjacent Citi Field – for the new stadium, but without a set plan, questions still remain.

The MLS proposal also has not gone through a Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, where applications affecting the land use of the City would be placed under review.

Both Mattone and the Cosmos said that because they were responding to a call for proposals, they have had a clear, transparent path for the Belmont stadium proposal.

“It’s important to note that we’re responding directly to a state request for RFP,” Stover said. “Furthermore, we’re not taking away any public park land, but developing on land that is already zoned for stadium and sports use and in addition to that, we’re building a brand new 4.5-acre public park as part of the development.”

“We’ve been pretty open with all of our plans and what we want to do,” Mattone said.

MLS and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have come under fire from some community groups for the MLS stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. While

MLS has gained the support of several labor unions in Queens for the project, many elected officials in Queens have reserved comment on the stadium until more information has been provided on the replacement of 13 acres of parkland that would be lost to the construction.

During recent Borough President debates, many of the candidates took a cautious approach to the stadium proposal. Most of the candidates wanted more information from the organization before they took a stance. Only three candidates came out squarely against the stadium.

“I have opposed from day one the stadium,” Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) said.

Vallone was joined by State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), who has proposed making Flushing Meadows Corona Park an historic landmark to prevent future development. Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) has also cited the proposed stadium Playing It Close News this week has circulated that MLS is close to securing a financial backer for the new team that would play in the stadium. The New York Times reported earlier this week that Shiekh Mansour bin Zayed, the deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates who also owns English soccer club Manchester City, has entered final negotiations to purchase MLS’s newest franchise.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber said he hoped to make an announcement regarding plans for the stadium within the next six weeks. The organization, however, would not confirm the negotiations with any potential owners.

“While we are making progress on the New York expansion team, we have not finalized the ownership agreement,” MLS spokeswoman Risa Heller said. “Our discussions with potential ownership groups remain private.”

‘Kinky Boots’ – The Shoes Steal The Show

By ElysE TrEvErs Singer-songwriter Cyndi Laupe grew up in Ozone Park listening to her mother’s albums of “South Pacific” and “West Side Story.” Despite her notable rock career, Lauper was influenced by what she heard and it is obvious in the music in the new Broadway musical “Kinky Boots.”

“Kinky Boots” is the story of Charlie Price (Stark Sands), the son of a shoe manufacturer who inherits his father’s failing business after his father’s death. Rather than let the business die and have all the employees lose their jobs, he tries to find a niche market. A chance encounter with Lola (Billy Porter), a flamboyant drag queen, leads him to totally revamp the factory to make outrageous high-heeled women’s boots for men, touting “A range of shoes for men for a range of men.”

Charlie convinces Lola to give up his stage job to join him as designer.

Basketball Coming To LaGuardia Comm. College

By DaviD russEll Brian Goldstein just had to convince the student government at LaGuardia Community College. For a decade, hopes of sports coming to the school had been halted.

Goldstein understood what it took to get the job done.

“We can’t do this without funding.

The funding that was available was to get it through student activities fees,” he said.

Before presenting, Goldstein met with the commissioner of CUNY athletics and other athletic directors.

After years of not being able to get an athletic program off the ground, LaGuardia Community College will have men’s and women’s basketball teams in the fall. Goldstein was chosen as athletic director after years as the Director of Student Life and the Director of Recreation at the school. After interviewing 80 candidates for each spot, he hired Ben Chobhaphand and Anthony Alfaro to lead the men’s and women’s teams, respectively.

“I asked my committee for a 30-second synopsis of each coach. Ben and Anthony were energized, motivated,” Goldstein said. “Ben came from the CUNY system. He got in that seat and said he’s someone who did it, you can do it. Anthony has raised a family, has a business and he really gets it when it comes to women athletes. They com-

mand a certain ability to inspire.”

Chobhaphand played at Queensborough Community College, before becoming head coach at Forest Hills High School. After missing out on the QCC coaching job last year, he became an assistant at Nassau Community College.

“Being a former CUNY athlete and team captain helped me,” Chobhaphand said. “They can see a little bit of me in them.”

Chobhaphand said his time as an assistant has a lot to do with him getting the job.

“I learned so much in one basketball season,” he said.

Alfaro said he is feeling confident about his team because of the support from the top.

“I definitely expect us to be competitive right off the bat,” he said. “I think we’re developing because the administration is very behind the program.”

Goldstein said he puts academics first, sports second.

“Winning is great, but the bottom line is getting a degree and moving on to a four year school. That is success for us,” he said.

The role of athletic director is one Goldstein is enjoying tremendously.

“If the college came out and filled the stands, that would thrill me,” he said.

“I’m so recharged. If you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life.”

Please read it carefully.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure.

In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York state Banking Department at 1-877-Bank-NYS or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Section 1303 NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving the copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you may lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is

pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payme nt to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action.

Musicians Of Queens Cavelle-Nell Romeo

While there are many talented singers, few can boast that they have a fiveoctave range. Cavelle-Nell Romeo though combines her vocal gift with a skilled hand at piano and guitar as well as strong fashion sense.

Romeo was strongly influenced by her mother, who was also a singer, to pursue a musical career, something that she has been doing since she was five years old. By the time she was six, Romeo was already playing guitar and piano. By the age of seven, she was able to sew and design clothing.

Romeo was trained by her mother until she lost her at the age of 12.

participated in a realitybased TV show called “Popstars: The One.” She finished among the top 12 finalists.

From there, she hit the world of musical theatre, taking part in “Generation Motown” from 2004 to 2007.

The musical paid tribute to the Motown era.

The singer has had success on the concert stage as well, having performed at the Apollo Theater, CBS News, B.E.T 106 and Park and Harlem Day. She also sang the National Anthem at Madison Square Garden.

Her first single, “Your Time to Shine,” is now available on iTunes.

“I sing because I am pas“I wanted to continue her legacy by sharing the gift that sionate about it and want God gave me with others,” to share my talent with the world,” Romeo said. she said.

While the artist was born in the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago, she is currently based in St. Albans. The neighborhood and Queens as a whole inspired her due to its amassment of different cultures. The influence of Queens’ melting pot can be seen through Romeo’s music, which draws from gospel, R&B, jazz, soul and afro-Caribbean genres.

“The Borough has had an impact on me both personally and musically due to its diverse cultural background and history,” Romeo said.

Romeo’s career started growing in 2003, when she

Cemetery Celebrates Victorian Style If you have never been to a morbid, Victorian-style party, you have missed out.

This year, The Friends of Maple Grove Cemetery celebrated Victoriana Day on Saturday, April 27.

Victorian Day brings you back to the 1800s, when Victorian music, clothes – black dress, black gloves, umbrellas – jewelry and veils were all in style.

It is during this time when the concept of the “wake” began, because families wanted to make sure their loved ones, who were pronounced dead mostly because of an incurable disease, would not wake from being pronounced dead.

Guests were served funeral food and tea after their walk through the Maple Grove cemetery in Kew Gardens.

Isn't It Ironic?

The irony is strong with State Sen. Malcolm Smith.

Despite his widely-reported arrest last month, Smith’s office sent out a notice announcing that he is meeting with several police precincts to discuss how to fight crime in Southeast Queens.

Smith has set aside five Wednesday evenings through June, to meet with the commanding officers of six police precincts, including the 102, 107 and 113, at his district office in Hollis. The flyer has the word “Crime” in big, capital letters with a circle and a line running through it.

According to the flyer, one of the dates was set for April 3, just one day after his arrest.

We would imagine that one was cancelled as Smith was probably occupied with other matters around that time.

The flyer sent out regarding the meetings was the second notice Smith’s staff has sent out since he was arrested. A few weeks ago, his office sent out a photo of the State Senator meeting with members of the New York State Nurses Association.

While we at QConf are sure that the residents of Southeast Queens are concerned about crime in their neighborhood, we would recommend that Smith concentrate more on his own legal troubles.

Blooper Last week, the Queens Tribune received an email from one of Assemblyman David Weprin’s media officers.

The email announced that Weprin has been appointed to serve as Chairman of the New York State Assembly Subcommittee on Banking in ‘Undeserved’ communities.

The email left this Qconf reporter with two questions – why does the New York State Assembly have a subcommittee on banking in ‘undeserved’ communities and exactly which community is undeserving?

A selection of items on display during the Maple Grove Cemetery's Victoriana Day celebration over the weekend.

QConf is looking for some talented Queens residents.
