By Luis Gronda As one Queens elected official bows out of the Borough President race, another reinforced his intentions to run, despite rumors that he too would exit stage left. State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) dropped his bid to be Queens Borough President last Friday while Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St Albans) announced that he will be in the QBP race at a press conference on Monday afternoon.

QueensWay design To Be Chosen Later This Month

On Tuesday afternoon in Bayside, a Long Island man was taken into custody after breaking into a house and getting cornered on its roof. John Stewart, 43, of Mastic, was arrested on Francis Lewis Blvd. around 2 p.m. in an incident that shut down the surrounding area. According to an eyewitness, the burglar broke into a home on Francis Lewis Boulevard near 35th Avenue by climbing a ladder in the backyard at around 11:30 a.m. The house’s residents quickly ran out and Stewart soon found himself on the roof, surrounded by police. “He was up there, he was on the phone, he was crying. Then he threw his phone down and he was up there crying. They thought he was going to jump,” Albert Miro, a nearby neighbor, said. “In the driveway, they blew up the big thing in case he jumped but he never did. An hour or two later, he came out of that front door. He had nowhere to go.” Stewart reportedly has compiled several burglary charges from different victims, all within the confines of the 111th precinct. He did not have a weapon during the incident, according to police.

By Luis Gronda The winning design for the QueensWay project will be named later this month. According to Marc Matsil, director for the nonprofit organization The Trust For Public Land, they have narrowed down the choices for which design will be chosen at the blueprint for creating the Queensway on the currently abandoned strip of land that runs from Ozone Park to Rego Park. Matsil said that out of the 29 applicants that submitted bids for the plan, they have whittled it down to two or three applications and they hope to make a final decision within the next two weeks. Earlier this year, TPL released a Request for Proposal asking firms to submit entries for designing the QueensWay bike path, which would be 3.5 miles and take over the entire stretch of vacant land that once was home to the

Rockaway Beach LIRR Line. Gov. Andrew Cuomo awarded TPL $467,000 for a QueensWay feasibility study late last year. Although he would not say what companies are in the running to have its design selected, Matsil said that they received applications from all over the United States and worldwide including, Philadelphia, California and one from a company in Beijing, China. The majority of the companies that applied, Matsil said, are from the metropolitan area. After choosing the winning firm, Matsil said they will continue to work with that company to come up with a timetable for the next steps of the project. They will also solicit community input on the bike path and listen to what they would have to say should the QueensWay become a reality.

By JOe MaRvilli Elected officials came together with community leaders at the intersection where a pedestrian was killed by a hitand-run to introduce a package of legislation that would combat such incidents. On May 30, Councilmembers Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), Peter Koo (DFlushing) and Rosie Mendez (D-Manhattan) introduced legislation to help protect people from hit–and-runs and to increase the tools the NYPD has to find those responsible. The package includes an assortment of legislation and resolutions to make sure the hit-and-runs are greatly decreased. One piece of legislation would require the NYPD to report to the City Council on an annual basis about hitand-run occurrences that result in a fatality or sever injury. Two different resolutions are part of the package as well. One of them would call on the State Legislature to pass legislation allowing the City to install and operate red light cameras in more than 150 intersections. The other one would call on the State Legislature to create a tax credit for property owners who install surveillance cameras on their property. In addition, the City Council has already passed another resolution for the State Assembly Bill A04327, which would let the City create a pilot program for speed cameras. The press conference took place

Edit Page In Our Opinion:

Changing Direction? With years of neglect and months of debate over potential development at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, perhaps the City Council finally plans to step in. On June 7, the City Council’s Committee on Parks and Recreation plans to discuss the condition and needs of the long-ignored park located in the heart of Queens. Over the years, we have been very vocal about the current condition of Flushing Meadows Corona Park and we hope that this committee makes it clear that the neglect and abuse of this land must stop. As the debate over potential development of the park has raged, many opponents have declared that something like this would never happen in Central or Prospect Parks. And they are right. But those parks have dedicated conservancies raising funds and taking care of them. Flushing Meadows Corona Park does not, and it needs one. Used by many as a place to relax, play soccer or enjoy a day outdoors, the park is too important to allow this neglect to continue. Four members of the City Council’s Committee on Parks and Recreation call Queens home, including Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village), Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights), Julissa Ferreras (DEast Elmhurst) and Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside). We hope that these Council members make an effort to do the right thing and let the City Parks Dept. know that changes must be made, and that anything less is unacceptable.

In Your Opinion: Obstruction

To The Editor: On May 16, Republicans in the House of Representatives came together, cast a vote and tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act just as they’ve done nearly 40 times before. At what point does obstruction become treason? The health care law was passed by Congress, signed by the President and upheld by the Supreme Court. It’s been the law of the land for more than three years. It’s not going anywhere. We know that, and so do the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But instead of creating jobs and growing the economy, some of them want to make yet another gesture of protest - even if it’s meaningless. Repealing the Affordable Care Act would mean that 6.6 million young adults would lose the option of staying on their parents’ health insurance. It would mean that 34.1 million seniors would pay more for preventive care like mammograms and colonoscopies, and 18 million middle-class families lose the opportunity to save money on their monthly premiums starting in 2014. But

this isn’t about numbers; this is about our families’ lives. And as usual the GOP couldn’t care less. Who would benefit from its repeal? The insurance companies that gave the GOP millions to fight its implementation. When asked for a reason as to why the GOP continues to vote on Obamacare, John Boehner said “we have over 70 new congressmen who haven’t had a chance to vote on it yet”. Amazing. How about we also let them vote on all the other good votes they missed? Repealing prohibition, declaring war on Japan or calling on America to put a man on the moon by the end of....FORTY YEARS AGO!

Ban Bogus Booze

To The Editor: I am writing to urge all honorable legislators in the State and City of New York to propose a bill which would make the manufacture, distribution and sale of any liquors which are deceptively advertised as soft drinks or flavored with fruit juices (natural or artificial) illegal. A prime example of such a duplicitous product is Captain Morgan Long Island Iced Tea, which does not contain tea derivatives, but rather is a mix of rum, vodka, tequila and gin, all of which are alcohols. Another example would be the plethora of fruit-flavored vodka sorbets. Recent psychological research studies on the effects of soft drink product labels, letters and words upon taste have shown that pleasant words, for example, are unconsciously associated as an implicit taste preference which is subsequently reflected as an explicit preference for the labeled product (Predictive validity of the implicit association test in studies of brands, consumer attitude, and behavior. Journal of Consumer Psychology (2004), 14, 405-415). Further, since taste is a compounding of primary taste sensations, the mix of non-alcoholic substances essentially masks the alcoholic taste sensation as a pleasant secondary perception which contingently reinforces the operant behavior of alcohol drinking under the behavior analytic theory. If flavored cigarettes such as vanilla- and cherry-flavored Cheyenne have been banned from the retail market by the New York City Council, since their fruit flavors are ploys to addict teen smokers despite the initial obnoxious taste of tobacco, then similarly any alcoholic products (liquors, wines, liqueurs and champagnes) which rely upon fruitflavored mixes should also be prohibited. Although the rapacity of the New York State Liquor Authority and the State and local treasuries upon the citizenry through the consumption of this biological poison is just as legal a business as Al Capone’s bootlegging enterprise, the first steps toward total abolition of alcohol manufacture, distribution and retail should be the banning of duplicitously labeled booze and fruit-flavored alco-

holic beverages. Are the state and local governments ethically promoting the health and welfare of the people, or are they merely aggrandizing the corporate bootleggers, middlemen, and local liquor merchants? We want the first answer to this question from Governor Andrew Cuomo whose pragmatic agenda is to legalize anything for tax revenue exemplified in his casino mania perfected by none other than Charles “Lucky” Luciano in Havana, Cuba and Las Vegas. Joseph Manago, Briarwood

Wrong Choice?

To The Editor: The endorsement of Reshma Saujani for Public Advocate by the Queens Democratic Party Chairman Joe Crowley was very disappointing, especially when the excellent City Council Member Leticia (Tish) James is running. Leticia James has served as an advocate for all New Yorkers ever since she was elected ten years ago. She has been a champion of working families in New York City; fighting for affordable housing, and against the Atlantic Yards boondoggle. James has been a strong advocate for children and public education. Saujani comes from the corporate world, while Leticia James has working class roots. Council Member James has also been a strong proponent of environmental justice and green job development since serving as Chair of the Sanitation Committee. In 2010, she pushed through a revolutionary recycling bill that included expanding plastic recycling, a new clothing and textile recycling program, and improved public space recycling. She is a graduate of New York City public schools and CUNY’s Lehman College in addition to law school. Crowley should rethink this misguided endorsement, and support the superior qualifications of Tish James for the important city-wide position of Public Advocate. Robert Keilbach, Flushing

By TrisHA sAkHujA The debate over the Willets Point redevelopment plan continues, as the City Council and community members calling for more affordable housing seemingly refuse to move towards middle ground. One side wants to see affordable housing built in Willets Point right away, or at least see a guarantee of affordable housing, while the other wants to build a community in a an undeveloped area before building housing complexes, which would include affordable housing units. State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) held a press conference with the Queens Housing Coalition and Make the Road New York on May 30 in front of Willets Point businesses to call for an end to what was called Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “bureaucratic wrecking ball.” The proposed development by the City Council and a joint venture between Related Cos. and Sterling Equities includes retail shops and a hotel along 126th street. The Willets West entertainment and retail center will be built and done by 2016. The Willets West mall will be completed by 2018. However, construction of affordable housing is not only being pushed back, but the number of units originally promised to the community has also decreased from 1,920 to 875. Those units will not begin until at least 2025, if at all. The housing units are contingent

There are other times where families and other people can use that pool to cool off,” Warren Schreiber, President of the Bay Terrace Community Alliance, said. “It’s really a shame that the City has to go through this budget dance every single year and they always put the same things on the block.” Reach Reporter Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 125, or at jmarvilli@queenstribune.com. -Joe Marvilli

A house in Howard Beach was destroyed by an explosion last week, and FDNY officials are still searching for the cause.

Howard Beach Home Destroyed In Fire

A Howard Beach home was engulfed in flames and partially collapsed last week, sending one woman to the hospital and leaving questions as to the cause of blaze. The incident occurred last Wednesday afternoon at the home of Joe and Theresa Pepitone at 162-39 84th Street. According to the FDNY, the fire started at around 2 p.m., causing parts of the home to collapse. The blaze was contained an hour later. Theresa was sent to Jamaica Hospital that day with burns and Joe was not home at the time of the blaze. He has since had to relocate while the family picks up what is left of their property. A couple who live on the next block over from where the fire occurred said that they heard a loud, bomb-like noise while running errands around the house. At first, they thought that something had fallen in their backyard, until they walked closer to the screen door and saw a lot of smoke coming from the house next door. “When I opened the door, I saw all the brick come down, and then I started to see smoke and then the fire,” said Josephine D., who declined to give her full last name. She said that she dialed 911 as soon as realized what was going on. Debris from the fire could be seen in their backyard a day later. Fay Greco, who lives a few houses down from the Pepitones, said that the incident is especially distressing because many in the area are still trying to rebuild their homes after Superstorm Sandy. Although the incident is still under investigation and the cause of the explosion is unknown, a FDNY spokesperson said that fire officials have ruled out renovations made under the City’s Rapid Repairs program as the cause of the blaze. Rapid Repairs was created by the City in order to speed up the process of fixing homes damaged by October’s storm. According to the Dept. of Buildings website, the house was approved to have its gas line replaced almost a week

before the explosion. State Senator Joe Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) said that it was important for fire personnel to rule out Rapid Repairs as the cause of the fire to alleviate concerns residents had about the program possibly being the reason the house collapsed.

Fort Totten Pool In Danger Of Closing

New York City’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year may throw some cold water on pool plans for the residents of Northeast Queens. Fort Totten Pool, located in Fort Totten Park at 338 Story Ave., may be forced to close this summer if the Parks Department does not have the $1.5 million cut from its budget restored. NYC Parks Commissioner Veronica White told the City Council that the agency would need to shutter four pools this summer unless the funding is returned. The other three locales that may be shuttered are Wagner pool in East Harlem, the Howard pool in Brownsville, Brooklyn and the Faber Pool in Port Richmond, Staten Island. In addition to their closing, all of the City pools would close two weeks earlier this summer than usual. At the moment, the pool season runs from June 28 until Labor Day, Sept. 3. The cuts are part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s proposed budget. Negotiations are underway between the administration and the City Council to figure out what services and/or projects will be saved. Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), whose district includes Fort Totten, said through a representative that the pool should remain available for its citizens. “They should definitely have that pool open,” Halloran’s spokesman Kevin Ryan said. Civic leaders were also upset about the possibly closure. “The pool at Fort Totten has become

Whitestone Bridge’s Lane Closure Starts

The massive $109 million restoration of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge took its latest step on June 1, with the closure of one roadway lane at all times. This change to the traffic pattern will use a movable barrier to maintain three northbound lanes to the Bronx during the peak morning rush hour between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and southbound to Queens for the evening rush hour from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The movable barrier will allow the lane-by-lane demolition and rebuilding of the 1,010-foot-long Queens approach to the bridge. The reconstruction will take about one year to complete. The work began in the far-right lane of the northbound approach. “The first few stages will be the construction of the northbound lanes and then we will be moving to the far west side of the approach, with construction on southbound lanes. This will be followed by stages which include the middle roadway sections of the approach,” MTA spokesperson Judie Glave said. In total, there are six stages to the construction, with each section taking about six to eight weeks to complete. Glave mentioned that each section does not necessarily equal a defined lane. Due to the long-term nature of this project, the roadway changes will stay in effect on both weekends and holidays, with three lanes of traffic going into Queens and two lanes of traffic going into the Bronx. Glave said the roadwork should not impact traffic volume and that other options

are available if there is any congestion. The 42-month Capital Improvement Project will transform the Queens approach to the bridge by rebuilding the roadway as well as adding new emergency breakdown shoulders. The southbound 14th Avenue exit ramp will be widened, a deceleration lane will be put into place and new curbing will be added. The overall project began in the fall of 2011. The contract was jointly granted to E.E. Cruz, of Manhattan, and Tully Construction Co., of Queens in July 2011. The lane closure follows the shutting of the Whitestone Expressway’ 3rd Avenue exit, which started on Jan. 7 and will be closed for about two years.

Intersection To Be Renamed

An accomplished Korean War veteran and NYPD officer will have an intersection in Forest Hills co-named in his honor this weekend. Thomas X. Winberry will have the intersection of Metropolitan and Ascan avenues in Forest Hills co-named “Thomas X. Winberry Way” at a ceremony held at the busy street this Sunday morning. Among the accomplishments Winberry achieved include receiving the NYPD Medal of Honor for rescuing a swimmer who was drowning in Manhattan’s East River. He was citied more than 15 times for acts of courage during his 20 years as a police officer. Winberry passed away in 2011 at the age of 78. Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (DForest Hills), who is hosting the ceremony a long with Winberry’s family and friends, said that he is somebody who was the definition of public service. “As an activist, veteran, and decorated officer, Tom was a staple figure in the community known for selflessly going over and beyond for many of the community’s civic association…” she said in a statement. The co-naming ceremony will take place this Sunday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Reach Reporter Luis Gronda at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 127 or at lgronda@queenstribune.com. -Luis Gronda

Do It Or Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? When To Hire A Pro

When it comes to home improvement, homeowners arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to get their hands dirty; 64 percent who plan to make improvements this year say they will do it themselves, according to an American Express Consumer Spending and Saving Report. But not all home decorating or renovating projects are suitable for the average DIYer. So how do you know when to DIY or when to call in a professional? You can quickly assess if a DIY project is achievable. Consider if you need special knowledge or expertise beyond what you could acquire with online research or a class at your local home improvement store. Does the job require specialized tools that would be very expensive to buy or that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available through your local rental center? Lastly, consider the amount of time and money you have to devote to the project. Whether painting or building, the good news is every job can be considered a DIY project. Here are three popular home projects with suggestions for when to DIY and when to call in a pro: Adding new window treatments Custom window treatments that offer multiple colors, styles and light-filtering options can transform any room.

In this economy, taking on a kitchen remodel can be a scary proposition. You’re probably asking yourself plenty of questions. How drastically should you change the room? Do you need to hire a professional? Can you still recoup money spent on remodeling if you sell the house? Have no fear - these six tips from Summer Baltzer, interior designer and former host of HGTV’s Design on a Dime will get you remodeling like a pro without losing your mind or breaking the bank. Breathe in. Breathe out. Break it down Before starting, take a deep breath and know that your project is going to turn out great. The key is to break your remodel down into manageable steps that you can wrap your head around: cabinets, counters, floors, paint and accessories.

By TrISha Sakhuja A story very similar in its entirety was recounted by 15 individuals during a monthly 114th Precinct community council meeting on May 28 at Ricardo’s in Astoria. An advertisement for an apartment in Astoria on Craigslist has duped many people into believing they would eventually move in after signing a contract and receiving a receipt for a security deposit and one month’s rent. Mario Lalicata, a local real estate agent, who also goes by the last name, Lamagra, has allegedly scammed more than a dozen people, by showing his apartment on 22-55 48th St. in Astoria. He promised them all a move-in date, but has repeatedly disappeared and avoided them soon after an initial encounter. Lalicata, a former school teacher, is also a former Community Board 1 member. “He has been removed from CB 1 since 2003,” said District Manager Lucille Hartman. She did not elaborate on why he was removed. Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (DAstoria) said he was not surprised when he found out the man behind the scam is Lalicata himself. “He may be the only person I have removed from CB 1 during my tenure as Councilman,” he said. “You know when you have that feeling about someone.” “These types of agents aren’t special to Astoria, but everybody should be on guard about these

Also, have an attorney look over the agreements and do your own research about the real estate agent on the Internet,” Vallone added. So far, Lalicata is responsible for scamming more than $20,000 from those who believed his advertisement, saw the apartment and made contractual obligations to move-in on a date set up the two parties. “Fifteen people are here for the same reason, we all have been stolen from,” said Lee Ostraski, a victim who gave Lalicata $1,425. “We have all been shown the same apartment, either the basement, the individual rooms or the apartment in its entirety, by the same man. He is ripping people off.” “Within 24-hours of giving this man $600, I realized this was a scam because I searched his name on the Internet and immediately

asked him for my money back,” said Steven Mihalik, 26, a resident of Brooklyn. “He said he spent my money on an electric bill for the apartment,” Mihalik added. Three friends, each of whom gave Lalicata a total of $2,400, saw the apartment together and were ready to move into the three bedrooms, two of which are downstairs and one upstairs. “He promised us a move-in date in April, but he kept pushing back the date by telling us the apartment needs to go through an inspection and the electrician needs to come in to fix the lights in the bathroom,” said Yonghwan Jim, 25, a resident of Woodside. Lalicata has also promised to pay them a compensation for the temporary house they stayed in while waiting to move into the apartment. Rudy Tieu, 30, a resident of California seeking an apartment in western Queens, was ready to move in to the apartment on May 1, but to Tieu’s surprise, Lalicata pushed back the move-in date by stating the same excuses. After numerous attempts of contacting Lalicata, Tieu was able retrieve $100 of his $1,100 down payment, but was told by Lalicata that he does not have the rest of his money to give back. Paul Morales, 23, and Josh Benson-Merron, 22, also traveled from California in search of a new home in Queens. Morales was able to retrieve the keys to the apartment before handing Lalicata a deposit of $1,200. His friend, Merron, saw the apartment after Morales and gave the owner an additional deposit of $600. “After I saw the apartment, I immediately contacted my friend Josh and told him I found us a great apartment,” said Morales. “But we

He said it needed to go through an inspection and it still needed light fixtures in the bathroom.” “He told me he was going to give me the house, but then I couldn’t move in after a month of my movein date,” said Neel Dholaria, who gave Lalicata a total of $600. “I tried to call him many times, but he eventually turned his phone off. “When I first went inside the house, I felt bad because his mother is really old and so is his wife,” he said. “His wife and mother definitely know what is going on because 30 people have probably shown up to his house asking for their money back,” Dholaria added. “I was told the house had been signed over a couple years ago because of his gambling debt and now the mafia owns his house,” said Jack Stone, 30, a resident of Woodside, who gave Lalicata a deposit of $550 and was ready to move into his new apartment. “I heard Mario had to leave his house for a little while because they were going to come kill his mother and his wife,” Stone added. The victims began to match their stories on a forum, www.Astorians. com, which led many to the 114th Precinct monthly meeting. Some of them have previously tried to contact the police, but were turned away because they were told this case is a civil matter. However, during the meeting, Deputy Inspector Stephen Cirabisi of the 114th Precinct assured the victims that this case will resolve in a matter of time, since Lalicata’s criminal activities have come to light. “He is obviously a scam artist,” said Cirabisi. “The District Attorney’s office has already assigned a DA to the case because so many people are complaining.” Everyone was asked to lodge their contact information, as well as present all of the evidence, such as their contracts and receipts. The Queens District Attorney’s office has declined to comment, since no arrest has been made as of yet. If you are involved with this case, contact Lauren Steele at LDsteele@queensda.org.

Bayside Teen Wins National Spelling Bee Society. Mahankali shyly said many thanks to his friends, teachers, parents and the staff, while cracking a few jokes, for supporting him during his long and strenuous journey. “I started competing in spelling bees from the second grade because my teacher would quiz us on words during our down time” Mahankali said. “My mom and dad have both quizzed me on many words and I have reviewed the Merriam-Webster’s International Dictonary a few times. For the last five years, I have attempted to study words for at least four-hours a day.” “Words become obscure and it is not that simple to just memorize them because you have to recall the meaning of the word on stage,” he added. The last round of the bee took place on May 30 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center outside of Washington, where Mahankali won $30,000 in cash and prizes and a large cup-shaped trophy. The winning word, knaidel, is of German-origin, which ironically broke his bad luck streak of losing to Germanorigin words for the last two years. Before spelling the word out, he did

The Tastiest Take-Out La Bottega 42-29 Bell Blvd., Bayside (718) 906-6311 www.bellpanini.com hOurs: Mon. – sat. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; sun. 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. CuisiNE: italian DELiVErY/TakE-OuT: Yes CrEDiT CarDs: Yes, all major If you are looking for a top-of-theline take-out experience, then La Bottega is the way to go. The restaurant is the type of place built for bringing the food to you or for you to grab the grub to go. From its astounding assortment of Panini to the large amounts of variety found in its other cuisine, this eatery is sure to set your taste buds alight. In an order delivered our offices, La Bottega offered several samples of their top dishes. To start off, I reached for the bruschetta, which came with multiple topping options, including cherry tomatoes, pesto, mozzarella and pieces of onion. From there, I went for the orange Cajun salmon, which came with potatoes. Sweet and bursting with distinctive flavors, the sauce and styling used on the fish made it stand out from your typical salmon dish. It was so enjoyable that I wanted to go back for seconds after savoring each bite. If you like seafood, I can’t recommend

this entrée enough. From there, the pollo e mozzarella and a slice of pizza seemed like a good bet. I’m glad to say I was right on both counts. The chicken dish was topped with a layer of mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and broccoli rabe, all fresh. Soaked in a lemon and white wine sauce, the combination melded together perfectly to make a confection of tangy tastes. As for the pizza, it had a unique flavor that was unlike what you would find in a typical slice. It’s hard to stick out when it comes to a regular pizza pie, but this place managed to do so. La Bottega has much more to offer than just the foods listed above though. The restaurant also makes a number of soups, salads, pasta, desserts, glutenfree and vegetarian dishes. With such a diverse menu and so much delicious food, it should come as no surprise that it is worth repeated visits. -joe Marvilli

By Trisha sakhuja Anthony Armstrong, principal of Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School 74, asked the 86th National Scripps Spelling Bee champion, Arvind Mahankali, to spell out the word resilience during the first annual General Studies Challenge to Cure Cancer on June 4. Mahankali, 13, of Bayside Hills, stumbled on a letter because he was overwhelmed and excited from the honor he received moments before from his teachers, students and staff on the playground of the school. Armstrong tied the word resilience with the stories recounted by a few of the teachers about their struggles with breast cancer and Mahankali’s fight to win first place after placing third twice at the bee in previous years. “You have demonstrated great resilience,” Armstrong said. “Arvind has proved that team 74 is soaring from good to great and beyond.” The GS Challenge to Cure Cancer was a day where the students in each of the art classes, dance, drama, chorus, graphic art and studio art, battled against each other in outdoor field activities. As a school, they donated more than $8,000 to the American Cancer

Arvind Mahankali, 13, winner of the National Spelling Bee, spells the word resilience at his Princpal’s request. his signature move, by first spelling the word out on the palm of his hand and then confidently reciting the letters one by one. It will be the last word Mahanali will spell-out on stage, as he is happily retiring from the spelling bee champions and

will study physics during his free time. Mahankali was the last standing among the 281 contestants, 42 of which were semi finalists and 11 who were finalists. His victory continues the IndianAmerican winning streak, but breaks the female winning streak, since he is the first boy to win since 2008. “I have watched him compete many times before,” said Brian Gallagher, a math teacher at MS 74 for the past 13years. “He is a top notch math student as well and I always joke with him in math class when I have trouble spelling hard math words.” “Arvind has inspired my 9-year-old son to compete in spelling bees too,” Gallagher added. “The school wanted to honor Arvind at field day because it was the perfect opportunity and he also deserves it very much,” said Assistant Principal Brian Anello. “He has made us all very proud and has definitely brought spelling into fashion.” Mayor Michael Bloomberg along with School Chancellor Dennis Walcott met the spelling bee wiz on June 4, after his first day back at school, to honor his hard work and perserverance.

Atlas Park Renovation To Finish Next Month

By Luis GrONDa The Shops at Atlas Park is set to debut a new look this summer, as the operating company once again attempts to bring customers to the Glendale Shopping Center. Macerich, the property owner of the Atlas Park mall, officially announced the large overhaul that the area is undergoing. The main addition is a new 10,000 square-foot Center Green, which is a large grass and tree area that is designed to host musical performances and community events. Two popular clothing stores, Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe, will also open new stores at the mall this summer. Finally, glass kiosks will be built for businesses to sell seasonal and specialty merchandise outside of the mall. The mall’s redesign is expected to be completed by July 4 weekend. Liza Diaz, property manager of Atlas Park, said that the changes to the mall are geared towards benefiting the local residents and showing everyone how much it has improved. “It’s going to be great for the community to come back here and revisit us again,” she said. Diaz said that they took a different approach this time when redesigning the space and make it more usable for

customers that go to shop there or if they want to use the lawn to relax during their leisure time. “We’re listening to the community. We are gearing it to a merchandising mix that our community can shop at,” Diaz said. “With Forever 21, with Charlotte Russe, those are the retailers that our community feels comfortable.” They also wanted to make better use of the space that makes up the Center Green. “We felt that we needed to make that change because the way that we had the ellipse before it, it really wasn’t functional,” she said. “It was hard to do our events and now, just for everyone to have that gathering space is a really big difference.” As part of their plan to be more involved in the area, Diaz said that Macerich is starting a program in the next two weeks that will allow customers and the surrounding communities an opportunity to voice their opinion on what is going on at Atlas Park. When asked by reporters, she declined to say what the specifics of their outreach plan will be, other than saying “it will speak to the community and customer itself.” Reach Reporter Luis Gronda at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 127 or at lgronda@queenstribune.com.

Once Upon a Time Inc. 87-61 111th St, Richmond Hill 11428 718-846-9182 www.onceuponatime-inc.com

A Little Piece of History In light of the good news that Rockaway tracks have been rebuilt and the A train service has returned to the Rockaways after Superstorm Sandy, the Metropolitan Transit Authority is bringing people back to the 1930s. A nostalgia train, pictured here, will make a run from Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street to 168th Street in Manhattan.

Dude, Where's My Car? The NYPD is likely used to reports of stolen items, but this case must have stood out. An FBI agent’s personal vehicle was stolen outside of his Ozone Park home on May 28. The thief gained more than he originally thought when it was discovered that the car, a Toyota Camry, contained both a bulletproof vest and an M-4 assault rifle in the trunk. One day later, the vehicle was luckily found in Forest Hills with both the vest and rifle still inside it. Perhaps the thief realized that stealing from the FBI is high on the list of very, very bad ideas.

Since 1980, the Once Upon a Time Performing Arts Center and Theatre Street School has provided children in Queens and Manhattan a place to hone their artistic skills and prepare themselves for the world of the performing arts. “It’s a wonderful gem of a place,” says Michael Allen Gray, who has served as a frequent mentor and teacher for the school since coming to New York in 1979. “I teach these kids about professionalism, whether they choose a field of dance, voice work or acting. If you learn how to do it right, you’ll do it right.” Mark Aubel, who founded the school with wife Terri, can also attest to this. “Kids identify themselves at an early age. Once you match them up with the right thing to do, they love it,” he said. Once Upon a Time began

Wait, What Can You Get Today? An Astoria watering hole is giving its regulars an incentive to get rid of those beer bellies. According to an article on DNAinfo New York.com, the Hell Gate Social, located at 12-21 Astoria Boulevard, is hosting its third annual Great Astoria Gut-Off. Each person who enters donates $100 and they complete from Memorial Day to Labor Day to see who has gotten in the best shape between those months. Each contestant has their

pictures taken and weighs in to see how many pounds they are before the competition begins. The same will occur on September 2nd when it will be determined who is the victor. The winner takes all of the prize money, with 2nd and 3rd place prizes possible according to the event’s Facebook page. Eleven people have entered this year’s competition and the money pot is set at $1,100. According to the story, Sal Milazzo, a bartender at Hell Gate Social, started the compe-

tition two years ago, when he bet his friend $100 to see who could be more physically fit by the end of the summer. "We were both just out of shape, we had our beer bellies, so we said, 'I'll bet you $100 that I can get a better six pack than you,'" Milazzo told DNAinfo New York.com "A bunch of people overheard it, and it turned into a thing." They have since continued the event as a way to have fun and draw more patrons to the bar.

as a children’s theatre group, and in 1996, the Theatre School was added for those in grades first through eighth. In addition to offering an academic program, Once Upon a Time serves as a licensed child care location for parents. The school holds 150-175 performances a year at various schools, churches, the Poppenhusen Institute and Queens Theater in the Park. While many children who attend the school do plan on pursuing some sort of artistic career, like Jennifer Kronenberg of the Miami Ballet, Aubel is aware that the arts are just an interest for some. “For some of the kids, this is it for them, and that’s okay. This is just an extracurricular, but we’re lucky and happy to have them."

Heated Exchange While State Sen. Jose Peralta continued to fight for affordable housing in Willets Point, his communications director found himself in an argument with a community bystander asking questions after the press conference. The patron was concerned about the future of the community already living in Willets Point and what would happen once a new mall is built in the area. While asking questions of the Senator, Peralta’s communications director, stepped in and engaged the questioner. Words and gestures were exchanged during the encounter, which led to the Senator having to calm down the situation. We here at QConf wonder if the argument could have led to Peralta’s withdrawal from the borough president race, exactly a day later.
