wills, Peralta linked to Huntley taps By Natalia KoziKowsKa In a response to petitions filed by reporters, Judge Jack Weinstein unsealed a document that contained the names of nine people who were secretly taped by the disgraced ex-Senator Shirley Huntley. The document, released on Wednesday afternoon, contained the name of six elected officials, three of which are representatives from Queens – Councilman Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica), State Sen. Jose Peralta (D- East Elmhurst) and State Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica), who is already awaiting trial for an alleged corruption scheme to rig the mayoral election. State Senators Ruth Hassel-Thompson (D-Bronx), Velmanette Montgomery (D-Brooklyn), Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) and John Sampson (D-Brooklyn), who is already facing charges in connection to Smith’s alleged scheme, are also on the list of those secretly recorded by Huntley. The former political consultant and associate to New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Melvin Lowe, and former press advisor to Smith, Curtis Taylor, are also on the list. Reports claim that of the nine individuals listed, only eight are still under investigation.

usta agrees on Parkland For FMCP By luis GroNda Flushing Meadows Corona Park is set to get more parkland. The United States Tennis Association has agreed to replace 1.56 acres of parkland to New York City in return for the 0.68 acres of land it wants as part of the expansion of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The move comes after calls from community members and elected officials to replace the land that they would need as part of their renovation project. Earlier this year, the USTA went to the six community boards that have jurisdiction over the park – Community Boards 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 – presenting their plan for the changes they want to make to the tennis center. The project includes upgrading the Louis Armstrong Stadium and moving Grandstand Stadium to the southwest corner of the tennis center. The USTA needs approval of the 0.68 acres as it is currently not a part of their lease agreement with the City. According to a USTA-issued press release announcing the deal, the 1.56 acres includes 0.81 acres of space for recreation including five tennis courts. A Dept of Parks spokesperson said that a portion of the new park space is already converted for recreation and

would not require any construction or renovation. The rest of the land, 0.75 acres, will be an open patch of grass just like you would find at any other park. Daniel Zausner, COO of the National Tennis Center, said that it was important to listen to community concerns about parkland in Queens and create more green space. “At the outset of the project, the City suggested that park improvements would result in a more mean-

ingful degree of public benefit than an in-kind replacement for the 0.68 acres that is proposed for alienation. However, understanding that every inch of parkland is precious and after seeking input and recommendations from the local Queens communities and elected officials, the USTA, in consultation with the Parks Department, decided it was in the best interest of all parties to propose a parkland swap,” Zausner said. Hilary Klein, Strategic Campaigns

A rendering of the proposed expansion of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Director for Make The Road New York, said that while it is good that the USTA is giving parkland to the City, they still need to do more including putting more resources into the Flushing Meadows itself and listening to community concerns about the park. “It’s a very important first step,” she said. Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St Albans) echoed similar thoughts, saying that the USTA needs to increase its community presence to benefit the Borough, especially areas adjacent to the park. “I’m pleased that they are trying to replace the parkland,” Comrie said. “The one thing that we need the most in Queens is open space.” “I’m looking forward to seeing the details and hearing what the community has to say, but it seems that the USTA and Parks Department reached a sensible agreement,” said State Senator Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) of the parkland exchange. While the City and USTA have agreed on the land swap, the deal will not be final until it is approved by the City Council.

By Joe MaRvilli As part of the Queens Tribune’s ongoing series of interviews with City and Queens candidates running for elected office, Adolfo Carrion Jr. stopped by to discuss his run for mayor as an Independent. Although this is Carrion’s first mayoral campaign, the Bronx politician is no stranger to the ins and outs of the City. He began his career as a public school teacher and then served as the District Manager of Bronx Community Board 5. He won a seat in the New York City Council in 1997. In 2001, Carrion won the election to become the next Bronx Borough President. Carrion’s career was boosted to a national level in 2009 when he was appointed by President Barack Obama to be his Deputy Assistant and the first Director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs. While he was a Democrat, Carrion is pursuing his mayoral run as an Independent, a subject he discussed with the Tribune. Carrion felt that the current political climate was a “perfect storm” for an Independent candidate, mentioning how the electorate’s frustration is coming through with a declining number of voters and how terms like “special interests” mean nothing to ordinary citizens. “The average person in New York City is concerned about their kids’ education and making sure we really fix the schools,” Carrion said. “The average

Carrion Discusses Mayoral Run “We need to go back to the notion of creating a citizenry of critical thinkers, people who have good judgment,” he said. Carrion added that if elected, he would focus on ensuring every neighborhood has an excellent public school so parents can avoid going to great lengths to find a decent place to send their children. “My aim is to create world-class neighborhood schools so we’re not having this hysterical environment we have now, where families are shopping around the City to find the best school to put their child in,” he said. When it came to small businesses, Carrion pushed forward an idea of having a Adolfo Carrion Jr. discusses his Mayoral cam- one-stop shop for business paign with the Queens Tribune editorial owners, so they can take board. care of all their affairs with the government in one locaperson out there is looking for a city tion, rather than having to go to several that works for their family, where they departments. “We need to ensure that we have a can borrow money, take a little risk and business-friendly city and that people run a business.” On education, Carrion felt that the are willing to take their savings, go get a City was failing its students by teaching loan and take a risk on New York,” the to the test, which has removed creativity candidate said.

the economy, which he called an app economy. In order to support this technology-focused movement, Carrion felt that the City will need to start laying down infrastructure and build its digital capacities. While Carrion supported small businesses, he was far more wary when it came to the proposal by Major League Soccer to build a commercial stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, a project he said was partially-cooked. “If Major League Soccer wants to have a major league venue for the sport, then let them find the land and build the stadium wherever they can find it,” he said. “I don’t think we should be sacrificing parkland for that.” In terms of the City’s recovery from Superstorm Sandy, Carrion thought that the City should both work to rebuild a safer waterfront for those who want to remain there but it should also offer to buy the property from those who wish to leave the area. “We need to advance this idea that we will buy some of these properties from these families if they make the decision of no longer wanting to stay there. We have to buy them at the pre-storm market value,” he said. “For those people who make the choice that they’re going to stay, we have to change our building code.” Reach Reporter Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 125, or at jmarvilli@queenstribune.com.

By JOe MarviLLi Elected officials, library staff, library patrons and supporters rallied together on May 7 against funding cuts proposed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for next year’s Executive Budget. A large group of people came together on the steps outside of the Flushingbranch of the Queens Library to protest the $29.6 million cut the Mayor has put forward in his budget for the fiscal year that begins on July 1. If passed, it would be the largest cut in the Queens Library’s history. That number is just part of a proposed $106.7 million reduction for library systems throughout New York City. In the Fiscal Year of 2012, the Queens Library had a budget of $125.4 million. With this funding, the Queens system as a whole circulated 18.6 million items, had an in-person attendance of 13 million people and presented 37,500 free educational, cultural and literary programs. One of the signs that those in the rally held said 497,000 school-age children visit libraries within one mile of their home. Holding those signs high, the group shouted out chants like “Save Our Libraries!� and “No More Cuts!� Several elected officials were on hand to show their support and vow to fight for the libraries. “Mr. Mayor, we will not let you tear down

Edit Page In Our Opinion:

More Parkland Is Good We were pleased to see this week that the United States Tennis Association announced that they would be replacing 1.56 acres of parkland in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The amount of land the organization agreed to replace is more than double the .68 acres of land proposed to be taken for the USTA renovations. The agreement for replacement parkland is an important first step in establishing that the residents of Queens will not stand for the removal of green space. Regardless of how small the potential loss, the USTA has offered to make amends for what was perceived as a slight against the park. Elected officials strongly urged the organization to rework its proposal and the USTA seems to have listened. With that matter out of the way, we can only hope that the officials who fought so hard for a replacement of .68 acres of land now turn their attention to the potential loss of more than a dozen acres not that far away. The Borough has taken its first step to preserving our parkland, now we must ensure that we continue to fight against this unnecessary loss of green space.

In Your Opinion: Intolerable

To The Editor: The Queens Tribune is to be applauded for its Editorial “Not For Sale” (May 2-8, 2013 edition) having reference to a Major League Soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, in which it rightfully condemns the ongoing desecration of the park which has been alienated piece by piece to private interests. With apologies to William Shakespeare: “The fault, dear Brutus is not in the stars,” but at the feet of the current occupant of the office of Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, who in the almost 12 years he has held the office, he not only never lifted a finger to reverse the neglect inflicted on FMCP, the second most used park in our municipal system primarily by the less privileged, but has actively participated in giving up FMCP land, a non renewable resource to private interests. The expansion of the USTA in the park; on the horizon a 1.4 million square foot shopping mall on the Citi Field parking lots which were built on FMCP land, and a Major League Soccer stadium capable of seating up to 35,000 people, are all part of Bloomberg’s romance with the wealthy and indifference to the little people. He fails to understand parks are the life blood of an urban society, or if he does

understand, he is contemptuous of the people who need and use the park. In the case of a soccer stadium, as bad as giving away parkland to a private for-profit business, it is even worse when one notes the recipient is an Abu Dhabi oil multi billionaire whose wealth is not earned the hard way, but directly related to a repressive government and policies that are not ones we Americans would tolerate. I believe if Frederick Law Olmstead, the genius who created Central and Prospect Parks in this City and important parks elsewhere, was still alive, he would not break bread with Bloomberg and justifiably so. Benjamin M. Haber, Flushing

Two Things

To The Editor: There were two letters in your edition April 25-May 1 which I wish to respond to. The first was about Anthony Weiner and his possible return to politics by entering the race for mayor of New York City. The writer expressed his view that Mr. Weiner “was never aloof from the people he represented.” I beg to differ. As one of his constituents, I was very disappointed all the years he was my representative. As we know, he is a far left-wing liberal. Although that is not my political inclina-

tion, I was willing to accept it, so long as Mr. Weiner was courteous and willing to listen to all points of view. I tried numerous times to discuss various issues with him, ranging from education, taxes, immigration, making English the official language, terrorism, education, transportation. Hearing that my views were not from the far lunatic left, he made no attempt to listen and brushed me aside each and every time. That’s hardly the demeanor I expect from a congressional representative. In my opinion, he does not deserve to re-enter politics or be elected mayor. After my experiences with him, I will never vote for him. Another writer expressed his dissatisfaction that the bill to establish background checks did not pass the Senate. This point was discussed by writers in all the local and citywide newspapers last week. While I do agree to some extent, I see a dichotomy in how those who are Democrats and liberals decry the influence of one interest group, the National Rifle Association, while overlooking that of others. Terrorists struck recently in Boston, will certainly do so again, and since September 11, 2001, these acts have been almost exclusively by immigrants and aliens. Ironic that an immigration bill is being debated simultaneously, one that does not go far enough in solving the problem newcomers to this country are causing. Instead of closing the border, ending immigration entirely, and being concerned about the 22 million native Americans who are out of work, the Gang of Eight is considering amnesty, granting citizenship and welcoming them with open arms. We have just heard that the Boston terrorists were receiving welfare and expressed their hatred for America, benefits and emotions undoubtedly shared by the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens who would be given amnesty. While both parties are responsible for the immigration mess, it is ironic how the Democrats, who favor amnesty because most of those who will receive it are potential Democratic voters, are not condemned as the Republicans are for opposing gun control. Nor are they for the undue influence of immigrant and ethnic lobbies as the GOP is for their allegiance to the NRA. While I realize the opposition to amnesty in New York, with its large immigrant population, is not as strong as in other parts of the country, the same majority poll number concept applies. Most Americans favor not granting amnesty and severely reducing immigration as much as they

Marcia Moxam Comrie, Contributing Editor Reporters: Harley Benson, Joe Marvilli, Natalia Kozikowska, Luis Gronda, Trisha Sakhuja

do gun control, but for Democrats and those on the left, they see only the poll numbers and special interest groups they wish to see. A moratorium on immigration, and not granting amnesty, will protect Americans, reduce unemployment, lower crime, and solve myriad economic problems, including all the free health care illegal aliens get and the rest of us pay for. In addition, a moratorium on immigration will give recent immigrants a chance to assimilate, without a constant influx of new arrivals, thus making them see themselves as Americans. But I suppose such a proposal might not make them demand endless social programs, bilingual services, feel so antagonistic towards America, all of which amount to votes for Democrats. Edward Riecks, Howard Beach

Bad Commercials

To The Editor: I am very upset with the Mayor’s commercials for smoking. He made his point and people know what smoking does. They are obnoxious, and why put a child in one? My grandchildren get very upset and can’t understand why the boy is giving his mother water. I try to explain, but they are on every channel and very often. The Mayor should do good by giving the money he spends to help someone get food or pay their mortgage. People are going to find cheaper cigarettes and all those taxes are lost by the City. C. Mavroleon, Bayside

Money Maker

To The Editor: I am unable to physically walk from my parked car to the receipt dispenser, back to my car to put the receipt on the dash and then on to the store I want to use. That is, if the dispenser is working or there is no snow plowed against the curbs of Union Turnpike. But, I can drive the one mile to Nassau County to do the shopping I would have done in Queens. Apparently, Nassau has determined that seniors and handicapped people are important to the economy and protected by law. NYC’s curbside Muni Meter’s MAY be in violation of some “persons with disabilities” law, but they do not violate Bloomberg’s gluttonous need for revenue. M.G.McCormick, Glen Oaks

By TRiSha SakhUja Community members spoke various languages, while chanting in unison, “voting right is a human right,” on April 6 at Diversity Plaza in Jackson Heights. Nonresident citizens, totaling more than 1.3 million, contribute by paying billions in annual taxes, but are currently denied the right to vote in City elections. The New York Coalition to Expand Voting Rights is working alongside the City Council and other supporters of Intro. No. 410 to pass this legislation, which they say would make the City a stronger democracy. The Coalition, along with SUKHI NY, LA Fuente, Peruvians in Action, Alliance of South Asian American Labor and concerned community members joined together to demand the City Council restore the rights of all legally documented residents in local elections during a press conference, titled, Peoples of United Nations Living in NYC. “Voting embodies the principles of equality and fairness upon which our democracy is based,” said Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), who is also chair of the Council’s Immigration Committee and is the chief sponsor of the bill. “When all contributing members of our society can participate, democracy is better served, and everyone benefits,” Dromm said. “The fact that more than half the NYC Council now supports immigrant voting rights marks a momentous opportunity for us to emphasize the

Community members gathered in Diversity Plaza in Jackson Heights to call for expanded voting rights. growing support for the expansion of democracy throughout New York City.” Local elections matter to nonresident citizens because they have much to say about their local schools, healthcare, housing, parks, transportation, social services, jobs and economic development. “We are here today to present the fact that we have 34 councilmembers on our side and they have all signed in favor of the legislation, which makes it a veto-proof majority,” said David Anderson, coordinator of the NY Coalition to Expand Voting Rights. Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan), a supporter of the bill, is also chair of the Committee on Governmen-

tal Operations, which helps to shape the governmental structure and organization of the City Council. “This legislation is the first step to achieve the ideal democracy our country is struggling to attain,” said Agha Saleh, businessman and founder of SUKHI NY. Some community members mentioned that Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) had not yet voted in favor of this legislation, but they are hopeful he will change his mind. “Councilman Vallone should respect the decision of his colleagues and come forward to support a bill that helps our nation of immigrants grow,” Saleh continued to say. “If we pay our taxes and

provide for our communities, our voices should also be heard.” Vallone responded to not voting for the proposed bill, saying, “I am considering the bill, but I have some serious concerns about it.” “For example, someone who has been living in the country lawfully pursuant to a six-month work or student visa, with no intention to stay, has no longterm stake in the future of our City.” The organizations involved hope the City can take lead on this bill and expand democracy to noncitizens. “Intro 410 will strengthen our democracy and the lives of immigrants who contribute to the City’s vitality,” said Mazeda Uddin, national coordinator of ASAAL. According to reports, one in five adult New Yorkers cannot vote in local elections, but they are responsible for $229 billion in economic output in New York State. Founder of Peruvians In Action Leandra Requena became involved with the campaign two weeks ago and quickly spread the word to her community to come and support this bill. “The diversity here is amazing and we need to send a message that our City is ruled by immigrant people,” she said. On May 9, a joint public hearing with the Immigration Committee and Committee on Government Operations took place to discuss Intro 410.

sTEM academy Faces site-split By Trisha sakhuja The STEM Academy program, one of five citywide Gifted and Talented programs, located at PS 85 Judge Charles J. Vallone School in Community School District 30 will face major changes in the coming years. STEM, a national non-profit organization, currently serves kindergarten through fifth grade at PS 85, located in Astoria, but there is not enough space to allow the program to expand through eighth grade. “When I started on this journey of helping STEM grow from a K-5 program with one section per grade to a K-8 school with two sections per grade (450 students), it became very clear that space was going to be the most difficult issue,” said District 30 Vice President of Community Education Council Michelle Noris. “While District 30 is an ideal location for a citywide school, due to its proximity to transportation and its long history of supporting Gifted and Talented education, it also has overcrowded schools in many of our neighborhoods,” she said. “It became clear that no one building had enough extra space to house the whole school.” “The next step was to look for two buildings nearby each other that could house the single school, with a single administration,” Noris said. The Dept. of Education recently proposed to site-split the growing program within two school buildings, PS 17 Henry

David Thoreau and IS 126 Albert Shanker School for Visual and Performing Arts. Currently, PS 17 is a zoned elementary school serving students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade and IS 126 is also a zoned middle school serving students in sixth through eighth grade. “Since STEM currently has no middle school, is it clear that sharing resources with PS 17 and PS 126 will benefit the students at STEM,” said Noris. The two schools chosen are considered underutilized and have space to accommodate additional students. According to reports submitted by the DOE, PS 17 utilizes 70 percent of its building and IS 126 utilizes 49 percent. The first proposal included PS 76 A. Philip Randolph School as one of the

sites to co-locate with, but parents immediately opposed the idea, considering PS 76 uses a lot of its additional space for special education classes. If the proposal is approved, PS 17 will see an influx of kindergarten, first and sixth grade students in the beginning of the school year 2014-2015. In the beginning of the school year 20152016, grade six students will be re-sited and co-located with IS 126, along with grade seven students. The plan sited by the Dept of Education states, by 2018-2019, when the STEM Academy program is at full scale, students in kindergarten through fourth grade will be co-located in PS 17 and students in grades five through eight will be co-located in IS 126.

“Co-locating with PS 17 and IS 126 seem to be the best we could possibly do, considering the previous proposals we saw,” said Jeffrey Guyton, co-president of CEC 30. The Parent Association President Brenda Carrasco of PS 17 welcomes the program, but feels the DOE did not involve the parents or the school in any meetings prior the proposal. “We feel left out of the decision making process because we space, but not that much space,” she said. The proposal is made public for comments and will be approved by the Panel for Education Policy. Reach Reporter Trisha Sakhuja at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128, or at tsakhuja@queenstribune.com.

Two Liu staffers Found Guilty By Luis Gronda Two former staffers of City Comptroller John Liu were found guilty of being involved of a fraud scheme last Friday. The two ex-staffers, Jia Hou, also known as Jenny Hou and Xing Wu Pan, also known as Oliver Pan, were convicted of orchestrating a scheme that funneled illegal campaign contributions to a candidate for a citywide office. According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation press release announcing the conviction, the scheme was illegal in two

ways: It allowed that candidate to receive more money than the individual contribution limit of $4,950 and it permitted that candidate to claim more matching funds because of the increased dollars that he or she got from the scheme. Hou was the campaign treasurer and Pan was a fundraiser and contribution collector for the campaign. By entering the guilty plea, the jury found that Hou tried to commit fraud, obstruct justice and gave false statements in relation to the scheme. They also found that Pan attempted to commit fraud by being in-

volved in the fraud. “I am deeply saddened by the verdict. I continue to believe in Jenny being a good person and exceptional individual,” Liu said in the statement. “I look forward to this year’s Mayoral election and will continue to ask the voters for their support.” Both convictions carry a maximum of 20 years in prison and they are scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 20.

Katherine Taberas

Immigrant Has Dreams Of Citizenship

Katherine Taberas, a 17-year-old undocumented immigrant from Colombia, has refused to hide in the shadows because of her status. She continues to be the voice and face of many Dreamers alike. The Dreamers, a united group of undocumented immigrants, continue to lobby with the help of supporters to pass the New York State Dream Act. Taberas and the 12,000 like her would receive state financial aid and scholarships for higher education if the act passed. Their dreams of becoming professionals and contributing to society will come true, instead of having to stop short with a high school diploma. “Nationally, statewide, this is the moment,” said Taberas, who explained that the bill passed in the State Assembly, but is stalled in the Senate. “We cannot let this opportunity pass.” A confident teenager with shortcropped hair, Taberas is not afraid to lobby in Albany and speak to elected officials in hopes of changing their minds. “When I meet with them, my question to them is, ‘can you seriously be against something that would be beneficial to the State?’” she said. “I tell them, ‘when you are investing money in education, you are investing money in New York State.’” Taberas is an honor student at LaGuardia Community College and plans on transferring to Hunter College in the fall. She wants to pursue her studies in political science in hopes of becoming an immigration lawyer one-day to uplift her community. Her personal story starts in Cali, Colombia, where her family lived a comfortable lifestyle, until they became uprooted in 2005 when her father, an accountant for Cadbury Adams, lost his job during the economic slowdown. Taberas’ family decided to migrate to the United States after her father searched for a new job for five years, in hopes of attaining better economic prospects. They began their new life in an apartment in Corona where Taberas attended LaGuardia’s intensive summer English program and that fall, she entered International High School at LaGuardia as a junior. She has never looked back since because the friendly, close-knit school

community made up of recent immigrants helped her to embrace her identity. Her newfound confidence allowed her to serve as president of the student government and she excelled in her school work with a near-perfect G.P.A. After a five-year academic program, she graduated seventh in her class in 2012 with a high school diploma and the first-year of her college work completed, free of cost, because of all the college-credit classes she completed. “I would have been unable to afford my freshman year if it was not for this [fiveyear academic] program,” said Taberas, who explained her father returned Colombia, leaving her mother to work and pay for food, rent and her education. Taberas’ mother works as a home health care aid for a family in Manhattan and can only see her daughter a few times a month because of their conflicting schedules. “It is unacceptable that single parents, like my mother, have to work day and night to save money so that their children’s dreams are fulfilled,” Taberas said. “Having financial support from the State, for me, would mean the opportunity to continue my education, but, most importantly, it would mean the chance to see my mother.” Taberas continues to actively fight in her pursuit to achieve the American dream by attending various seminars, forums and rallies to share the struggles her family has faced, while shedding light to fellow undocumented immigrants. “One day we will obtain passage to citizenship, so it is important that we acquire the education needed to become contributing members of the community,” she said.

Students Donate Art To Flushing Hospital

The students of PS 160 have donated several pieces of their own art to Flushing Hospital, in order to put a smile on the faces of all that view them. On May 2, the United Federation of Teachers, Division of Elementary Schools, PS 160 students and their art teacher came together at Flushing Hospital Medical Center to unveil the artwork, which will be placed into neonatal intensive care areas. The children were thrilled to see the 24 pieces they made displayed after being framed by UFT members. This collaboration is part of The Art of Giving program, a project inspired by the passing of UFT member and PS 156 teacher Sharon Coates. During her hospitalization, Coates said, “Seeing the children’s artwork on the walls lifted my spirits.” Even before the art was seen, the children lifted the spirits of everyone in the room with their enthusiasm for helping. In a conversation with Maria Smilios, the assistant director of nursing in material child health, Olivia, an eight-year-old, told the story of how she was born premature, like the kids in the room where her art will be placed.

PS 160 students look on as the artwork they created is unveiled before it is hung up at Flushing Hospital.

Smilios was delighted with the artwork “I am so thrilled that each and every one of you has been so involved in helping us,” she said. Later on, Smilios said the artwork would hopefully help parents who have a child or children in a neonatal intensive care unit. “This is going to bring the sunshine into an area where we have critically ill babies,” she said. “I think it’ll bring a smile to parents’ faces.” According to Ina Babb-Henry, assistant to UFT vice president Karen Alford, the organization reached out to its district representatives to find a school with a great art program. Once the school was in, the UFT reached out to hospitals in the area to find a suitable partner, a goal that is not always easy. “A lot of the hospitals are caught up in a lot of bureaucracy,” she said. “It’s a tribute to this hospital that they were able to come together with the administrators, with the community folks, and be able to put it together. You can always tell how the systems at a hospital work if you can deal with different departments and they can put something together that would benefit the hospital itself.” Babb-Henry was very happy with how the project ultimately turned out, stating that it was not just good for the hospital but educational and helpful for the children who create the art as well. “The children learn something from it and it’s good to see that children so young have so much promise,” she said. “They’re also learning about developing their talents, their artistic abilities and they’re making a connection in the communities.” While the Art of Giving has had schools donating artwork to a hospital for four years, it was typically an annual event. This year, there will be a second collaboration taking place. The children’s art teacher, Barbara Reill, felt that her students’ eagerness and joy at giving away their art was inspiring. “I can’t believe how giving they actually are and how excited they are, knowing they’re not getting their paintings back but they’re happy to give it,” she said. “If they ever need to come to the hospital or maybe one day when they’re older and show up here, they may see their artwork.” Reach Reporter Joe Marvilli at

Torodash Makes Council Bid Official

A Kew Gardens activist who says he is the “Civic Virtue candidate” has launched his City Council bid. Jon Torodash made his intentions to run against Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) for the District 29 seat on Sunday afternoon, holding a small gathering in front of where the Civic Virtue Statue used to stand. The candidate, who is running on the Civic Virtue party, said that he is running for this seat because he feels that the district is not getting the representation it deserves in City Hall. Among the issues in the district he would focus on if elected is transportation, public safety and the cleanliness of the neighborhoods that make up District 29, which covers Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens and parts of Maspeth and Elmhurst. Regarding transportation, Torodash said that Queens is heavily reliant on buses and many people are left waiting longer than is needed to catch their bus home. “You look at these buses piling up one after another. Hard working class residents are adding 20-30 minutes to their commute needlessly,” he said. Torodash added that more buses need to be running in the Borough and organize the buses that already run more efficiently so that customers spend less time waiting. When asked about the issue of building the QueensWay or reactivating the Long Island Rail Road Line, Torodash did not say which initiative he supports, only saying that no public official, himself included, should be taking sides on this issue until the residents of all the surrounding neighborhoods have had a chance to voice their opinion and studies have been done to see how feasible they are. Koslowitz has come out against reviving the LIRR because of the potential noise that it could bring to Forest Hills residents who live near the currently-abandoned track.

Staying Safe On The Road

For baby boomers and beyond, a lot has changed since they first received their drivers’ license - from car technology and traffic rules, to even road conditions. Many older drivers are taking a proactive approach to staying safe on the road. Most wear a seat belt - 77 percent of drivers age 65 and older according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - and most obey the speed limit and avoid the road when conditions are bad. But a few surprising steps can help older drivers stay even safer. Here are some top safety tips drivers age 50 and older should consider: Enhance Your Exercise It is no secret that exercise is an important part of aging well, but did you know that the benefits extend to safer driving? Exercise can enhance flexibility and range of motion for older drivers, according to recent research by The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence and MIT AgeLab. How can fitness help you become a better driver? Drivers in the study who exercise regularly reported greater ease in turning their heads to see blind spots when changing lanes or backing up. The study also found that drivers who exercised were able to rotate their bodies further to scan the driving environment while making right hand turns and they were able to get into their cars more rapidly, demonstrating increased overall flexibility. Exercise for your health, as well as your safety on the road. Try strength exercises like bicep curls and squats, range-of-motion exercis-

es like back stretches and heel drops, flexibility exercises like shoulder stretches and coordination exercises such as rotating leg kicks. More information on the connection between fitness and safe driving, including an exercise guide and informational video, can be downloaded at www. thehartford.com/lifetime. Take A Driver Safety Course The rules of the road are constantly changing. Even experienced drivers can benefit from brushing up on their skills. Taking a safe driving class is a simple way for older drivers to keep their skills sharp so they stay safe on the road. One popular option is the AARP Driver Safety course. Available across the country in a classroom setting as well as online, the course serves as a refresher about the rules of the road and provides valuable tips about defensive driving techniques. AARP membership is not required and there is no test to pass. Plus, some states require insurance companies to provide a multi-year discount for those who complete the course. Consult your insurance agent for more details. Visit www.aarp.org/drive to learn more. Prioritize Your Vision Driving well means seeing well, so it is smart for older drivers to prioritize their vision needs. Starting at age 40, individuals are more likely to experience blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night and changes in color perception, according to the American Optometric Association. Start by scheduling an appointment with an optometrist who can exam-

Far Rockaway Medical Office Reopens After Sandy Queens-Long Island Medical Group, now part of AdvantageCare Physicians, reopened its medical office in Far Rockaway last week, six months after flooding from Superstorm Sandy damaged the building. In the year before Sandy, more than 9,000 patients used the office, located at 29-15 Far Rockaway Blvd. Each of these patients has been notified of the office reopening, and new patients are now being accepted. The Far Rockaway office offers full-service primary care for adults and children. As the community continues to recover, QLIMG has made it a foremost priority to reopen the medical office, thereby ensuring that families have access to high quality medical care right in their community. “It is our privilege to be back and ready to see patients. Our medical

group has been part of Far Rockaway for many years. We are happy to serve them again,” said William Gillespie, M.D., EmblemHealth chief medical officer who also serves as president and CEO of AdvantageCare Physicians. Since Sandy, Rockaway-area patients have been seen in other nearby QLIMG offices or by an area physician. To make an appointment, call (718) 337-7000. For information, visit www.qlimg.com. Queens-Long Island Medical Group is part of AdvantageCare Physicians, one of the New York area’s largest physician-led practices. The practice is based on a model developed by EmblemHealth to improve coordination of care to produce better patient outcomes and higher levels of patient satisfaction.

Taking simple precautions can lead to staying safe behind the wheel of a car. ine your eyes for and medical conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration as well as provide you with a current prescription. When driving, always wear up-to-date prescription glasses with narrow side pieces that do not block peripheral vision. Keep sunglasses in the vehicle as well, so bright days do not deteriorate your visibility. In addition to high-quality glasses, position yourself to see as much as possible in your car. Adjust the seat so that you are at least 10 inches away

from the steering wheel, and can see at least three inches over the top of the steering wheel. Adjust rear and side mirrors appropriately to minimize blind spots. Keep headlight and window glass clean - dirt and grime can make the road appear hazy. These little-known tips can help keep older drivers safer when behind the wheel. From taking a course to staying healthy, older adults can enjoy the freedom of the open road while keeping themselves and others safe.

WINNER: Age 8 and Under Isabella Swierzawska, 8 Mom: Justyna, Maspeth My mom is so very special to me because she believes in me more than I believe in myself and always tells me that as long as I have a good and pure heart I will grow up to be a good person and no one will ever change that. When I am sick she gives me medicine, she prays to God for me to get better and sits next to

me and checks my temperature. Whenever I feel sad or someone is mean to me she always makes me feel better. She tells me not to worry about it and tells me to ignore the person and always hugs me and tells me funny things to make me feel better. She cleans my room when its dirty. She

sweeps up all the dust and organize my toys and books on shelves too. My mom also wants me to explore the world and try new things. She signed me up to skiing school and cheered for me on my skiing competition. She takes me to acro where she watches me compete and practice together with my class mates. She takes me to swimming class where she watches me swim like a shark. This year I decided to play on the piano, my mommy didn’t stop me. She encouraged me and told me how great it is to learn to play piano and now when I don’t want to practice she tells me how important it is. We go on amazing vacations together.

Diana RECEIVES:

WINNER: Age 13 and UP Candice Ramutar, 19, Mom: Diana, Astoria Why is my mom special? What makes my mom special to me is her boundless love, unending support, sound advice and being my best friend. She is the backbone of my family and never complains with all the responsibilities she encountered every

day. I watched my mom so dedicated caring for my dad who suffers from cancer in his bones and blood called Hairy Cell Leukemia, mental disability and neuropathy. This prevents him from walking on his own due to no muscle mass in h i s

knee. He is aided by a walker and cannot make it even half of a block. He is in a lot of pain, the nerve ending in his toes are very sensitive. My mom gives him bath and prepares nourishing meals, takes him to the doctor. Since his chemotherapy his energy level is low, my mom gives him all the support consistently. Even if she is tired by the end of the day she still wakes up at nights to give him a light snack and assist him to the bathroom. Added to the above my mom never neglects her duty towards me. In my graduating year of high school 2011 she prepared all my college applications, recommendations from teachers and all the necessary requirements because I was down due to my dad’s illness.

Big Apple Circus Returns To Queens

By BarBara arnstein Something wonderful happens whenever the Acrobuffos perform. When the daffy clowns interact with adults in the audience, the grown-ups relax and play like children, dueling with pool noodles. When they used their clowning skills for

special performances in Afghanistan, they successfully communicated lifesaving messages to children about the dangers of land mines and malaria. Husband and wife team Seth Bloom and Christina Gelsone have performed together in 20 countries and are performing for the first time with the Big Apple Circus, returning in May to Cunningham Park, and also for the first time in the United States as the Acrobuffos. Their Big Apple shows include classic slapstick and costumes featuring masks covering half their faces, which they wear to portray the characters “Madame” and “Monsieur.” “Acrobuffos” is an abbreviation of acrobatic buffoons. They exhibit all the agility of expert acrobats, as well as dancing and juggling talent. Bloom attended the Ringling The Acrobuffos make their Big Apple Circus Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, and debut at Cunningham Park this month.

Oratorio Society Holds Spring Concert By Joe Marvilli This month, prepare to hear the pleasing sounds of Puccini. The Oratorio Society of Queens will join together in their spring concert to perform “Messa di Gloria” by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini on May 19 at 4 p.m. in the Queensborough Performing Arts Center. The venue is located on the campus of Queensborough Community College at 222-05 56th Ave., Bayside. The work is a Mass composed for orchestra and four-part choir with tenor, bass and baritone soloists. Among the featured soloists are tenor Dory Schultz and bass-baritone Nathan Bahny. “It’s a piece that stands well in its own right and it shows the greatness [of Puccini] to come,” artistic director and composer David Close said. “The piece also shows a lot of operatic flair, which is kind of unusual in a Mass.” In addition to “Messa di Gloria,” the concert will feature various opera arias, choruses and Americana. They will perform “Va, pensiero” from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, “Nabucco,” Puccini’s “Recondita armonia” from the opera “Tosca,” “Overture to the Magic Flute” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, songs from American composer Irving Berlin and more. “They’re chosen to compliment the Puccini, but we have found that the audience just loves opera choruses and opera highlights,” Close said.

The Oratorio Society of Queens, a diverse performing cultural organization, started in the spring of 1927, making it the oldest in the Borough. Its cultural mission is to share “a love of classical choral music with its friends and neighbors throughout Queens.” Both a holiday concert and a spring concert are held every year. The group also sponsors a Choral Scholarship Program that gives high school and college students the opportunity to perform with the organization.

When asked what the audience will get out of this spring’s performance, Close said “that they’ll be

enjoying some great operatic material right in their backyard. They can come out and hear this music with their friends and their relatives.”

If you would like to attend this spring’s performance, tickets are $30 for general admission, $25 for seniors and students with ID and $10 for children 12 and under. The box office is located at Queensborough Community College and open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The box office’s phone number is (718) 631-6311. For more information, please call the Oratorio Society at (718) 279-3006 or visit www.queensoratorio.org.

Gelsone went to the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater, but both learned a lot about grabbing the attention of audiences while performing for passing pedestrians. “We developed the humor skills to stop people on the way to lunch, and make them forget about eating,” said Gelsone. Offstage, they enjoy traveling together in their circus trailer as much as they love performing. When they married in China six years ago, the bride wore a dress made of white balloons. They have brought laughter to small towns and cities, parks and parades, festivals and fairs, and at a stadium in China, they entertained an audience of three thousand. The other Big Apple Circus acts include a woman who shoots arrows from

bows using her toes (yes, that is right, she does archery with her arches), Jenny Vidbel and her well-trained horses, ponies and pups, an all-female acrobatic troupe from China that performs on bicycles, tango-dancing jugglers, acrobats who soar, suspended only by silk fabric and straps, a trapeze artist who performs on a swaying slack wire and much more! This year’s title is “Legendarium” and its segments involve the history of the modern circus. The Big Apple Circus returns to Cunningham Park in Queens on May 19 and runs through June 16. Tickets start at $20 and are available by calling (888) 541-3750 or at bigapplecircus.org. The show runs for just over two hours (with an intermission) and is air-conditioned in warm weather. For more information, call the Ticket Info Line at (800) 922-3772.

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. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING AN ANSWER WITH THE COURT.

Musicians Of Queens - Off The Turnpike

Sometimes, you want to listen to a band that just plays no-frills rock and roll. Off The Turnpike takes that attitude and delivers it with strong songwriting, a pounding rhythm section and powerful vocals. The band hopes to shake up the New York City rock scene and having been moving forward to do so since they formed in 2011. The hard rock/alternative rock group came together through the most unlikely of places: Craigslist. Although the classified ad website got vocalist Andy Sexton, guitarist Christian Vasquez, bassist ShawnAbraham and drummer Steve Kurlat to join forces, the friendships they now have has helped keep the band moving forward. “We all became very good friends too,” Vasquez said. “That’s what really got us going.” All native New Yorkers, the band calls

Astoria its home, rehearsing at Astoria Soundworks. “It feels good being in Queens and playing in a band,” Vasquez added, saying the neighborhood has a “great vibe.” Off The Turnpike released their selftitled debut album last year, a ten-track effort that was written over the last couple of years and quickly recorded in three sessions in a Staten Island studio. “The lyrical content is about struggles in life and overcoming those struggles,” Vasquez said. For the future, Off The Turnpike plans to continue touring and building a fan base. They recently played their first show in Connecticut. The next upcoming gig schedule is on May 22 at Tammany Hall in Manhattan. Off The Turnpike will be part of the six band lineup for Gotham Rocks’ New Blood Series.

Astoria Welcomes Celeb Chef Michael Psilakis, a celebrity chef who has traveled the world to cook in front of television audiences has just opened a new Greek restaurant in the heart of Astoria. Psilakis, who owns critically-acclaimed restaurants both in Manhattan and on Long Island, is credited for popularizing the Greek cuisine and, on April 22, he opened a new place in the

City’s largest Greek community. The celebrity chef was one of the stars on last year’s cooking show, “No Kitchen Required” – where contestants created meals from local ingredients in different parts of the world. Psilakis has also competed on “Iron Chef” and was nominated for a prestigious James Beard award.

Good Month For Harvey

Matt Harvey

The New York Mets may not be having a very good start to the season, hovering below .500, but Matt Harvey had a very good month. The pitcher went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in the first month of the season. Harvey took

pitcher of the week honors early in April and last week, MLB announced he had been named Pitcher of the Month for April. Now if only some of his teammates started to play a little better...

More Sandy Stories A documentary created, in part, by residents recovering from Superstorm Sandy received a prestigious honor even though it is not yet finished. According to an article in the Daily News, the film, called “Sandy Storyline,” won the top prize at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival last week. The movie won the award in the “storyscapes transmedia” category. The documentary was launched just a few days after Sandy hit New York by Brooklyn resident Rachel Falcone. According to the article, the movie combined over 300 photos, videos and

stories as told by Rockaway residents who witnessed the destruction firsthand. Residents who contributed to the project said that it gives them an authentic voice to describe what life been like in the six months since the storm hit. “This is the truth,” Marissa Bernowitz told the Daily News. “The best people to tell the story is us and they were the first ones to document what we’re doing in a way that we can express ourselves and what we’re going through.” Falcone is continuing to collect items from residents affected by the storm and the film is expected to be finished by next year.

Living A Dream

We at QConf like to acknowledge those making even the smallest dreams come true. Pediatric physical therapist Joann Ferrara does just that. She started a unique program in 2002, which allows up to 50 girls to take weekly ballet sessions in Bayside. The program does run on donations, but no one is turned away. Aspiring ballerinas with mental and physical disabilities do not have to stop short of their dreams because they too can also leap in their tutus with a little help. Dancing Dreams, a Queens-

based non-profit, provides classes to girls between the ages of 3 and 17. The stage shows gives the girls a new focus on what they can do, rather what they cannot do. Seeing the girls point their toes on stage brings joy to Ferrara, who started the program after her a young patient dressed up in a tutu said she wanted to be a ballerina, but nobody wanted to teach her. Dancing Dreams is expanding to the Museum of the City of New York in Manhattan. The 45-minute sessions will now be held on Mondays.
