Willets auto shops Fend For Themselves issued by the DOB. He repeated many times over that his premises are safe and the building would not collapse because he has worked here for the past 20 years. The DOB visited the strip of auto-repair shops a few hours before the press conference to re-open one shop, Royal Used Auto Parts on 35-15A 126th Street. During the past 30 days, the DOB has issued 19 auto-repair shops vacate orders, which frustrates and worries the shop owners and their employees. The shop owners do not understand why vacate orders are being issued and why some shops are asked to restructure their buildings if all the shops are going to be paved President of the Small Business and Workers for away come this fall?

By Trisha sakhuja The Willets Point development plan led by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Queens Development Group in conjunction with Related Companies and Sterling Equities Inc. proposes 2,500 housing units, some of which will be affordable, local retail shops, open space and a 1,000 seat school, but extensive redevelopment means the local autorepair shops across the street from Citi Field, known as the Iron Triangle, will soon be demolished. The industrial neighborhood is home to 250 auto-repair shops and approximately 2,000 employees, mostly Latino immigrants. The small businesses in the Iron Triangle have been subject to harassment and scrutiny since 2009 by the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). A press conference was called on June 18 in front of the auto-repair shops on126th Street and 39th Avenue by Marco Neira, president of the small business and workers along the Iron Triangle and Committee Sergio Aguirre, coordinator for the Willets Point defense committee. The first set of vacate orders was delivered on June 13 to approximately 19 shops. The owner of Chile Auto Glass was very upset to see the vacate order

relocation, which was debated by the City, the land owner and the shop owners of the Iron Triangle, but no further agreement has been made. “Many different agencies from the City have come here to give us tickets, but these buildings have been here for the past 40 years, so why are they coming now to hand out tickets?” asked Neira. “How come HPD is going to shut down businesses that are owned by the City itself? Right now, most of these shops don’t have much to do because many are shut down or in fear of being shut down.” The tight knight community of auto-repair shops is willing to organize themselves and relocate to another part of Queens, but they want to move together. “We are the poor, Latino immigrants here,” Neira continued to say. “They offered to relocate us individually, but we want to relocate together because we will die in the first month if relocated individually.” “The reason we are still fighting because most of the workers cannot even go get welfare and we have nothing in hand [legal documents] by the City in order to relocate,” Neira added.

By joe MarviLLi President Barack Obama’s administration has made its latest selections for its “Champions of Change” and one of them is a leader at the Queens Library. Jennifer Manley, Vice President of Government and Community Affairs, was chosen by the White House to be a “Champion of Change,” an honor meant to demonstrate ordinary Americans who do extraordinary in their communities. Each week, those selected are invited to the White House to share their ideas and build towards a brighter future. Manley’s work in community outreach helped her become one out of 12 individuals working in libraries and museums who provided learning experiences for children, teens, immigrants and hard-to-reach populations to achieve their goals. Those goals range from becoming skilled in science and math, to becoming digitally literate, to pursuing citizenship in America. “It was definitely an honor. I was surprised and delighted for sure,” Manley said. “It was really remarkable to have the work the Queens Library is doing and I’m doing to be recognized at that level.” Before she joined the Queens Library in 2010, Manley worked as the Queens Director of the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit, a job that had her connecting constituents from dozens of backgrounds with the City government

to give them a voice and help them find solutions to their problems. Reaching out to the community was a skill that translated to her work at the library and one that she discussed with her fellow “Champions.” “At the panel they had as part of this “Champion of Change,” we talked a lot about our outreach to the immigrant community,” she said. “What happened when I went down to DC and met with 11 other “Champions of Change,” that was very inspiring to be in their com-

pany. We’re staying in touch. We can learn to better work together.” A champion’s work is never done and Manley is excited to continue her outreach to the community at Queens Library. “I still feel inspired to continue that work, particularly around immigrant outreach, especially as we’re on the cusp of very big national change,” she said.

deal reached on Cuomo Casino Plan By Luis Gronda In a deal that was reached just before the midnight deadline on Tuesday evening, Governor Andrew Cuomo and state legislators agreed to bring full-gaming casinos to New York State, but the City will have to wait. The deal allows for four casinos to be built in three different regions in upstate New York as a way to boost jobs and the economy. There can be no gaming resorts authorized in NYC, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland Counties and there will be a 7-year period during which no other gaming resorts can be licensed by New York State. “This legislation is a major step forward in our efforts to both capitalize on this economic development and tourism

potential and end the trend of letting neighboring states with legalized gaming take revenue that should be going to our schools,” Governor Cuomo said in a statement. According to the Governor’s office, the state gaming commission will oversee the regulation of these gaming resorts and they will appoint a board with expertise in finance and development of these resorts. State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. (DHoward Beach), who has called on the Governor to include the City in his casino plans because of Resorts World Casino in South Ozone Park, said in the past that Resorts World would be able to quickly accommodate table gaming and it would boost the Bor-

ough’s economy overall. Addabbo reserved comment on the bill until something official was given to him. “I want to see it in writing and on my desk first,” he said. “In Albany, a handshake deal means nothing and that’s the unfortunate truth.” The State Senate is expected to vote on the bill this week. Addabbo said that he hopes to see the bill as soon as possible so that he has time read the entire agreement before voting on it. The bill would also need to be approved from the public during the November elections. Reach Reporter Luis Gronda at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 127 or at lgronda@queenstribune.com.

Bloomberg outlines Storm Safety Plan

By Joe Marvilli On June 11, Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled a $20 billion proposed plan to protect New York City from future storms, the next chapter in the City’s post-Sandy recovery. Among the recommendations in the report are a slew of proposals to help shield the most vulnerable areas of Queens from flooding, storm surges and more. According to the report, climate change will create an increased risk of rising sea levels, going from a minor risk today to a major one by 2050. Similarly, storm surges are now considered to be a major risk in South Queens and will still be a large cause for concern in the future as more storms will leave less time to rebuild coastal protections. In the Mayor’s protection plan, the City would call on the United States Army Corps of Engineers to study the primary and secondary dune systems in vulnerable Rockaway neighborhoods and install such a system in Breezy Point. The City would also work with the USACE to install wetlands in Howard Beach to lessen the impact of incoming waves. Bulkhead repairs and roadway drainage improvements would be put into place adjacent to Beach Channel Drive. While the floodwalls have deteriorated, the City Economic Development Corporation plans to have them restored by early 2014. The road drainage network

A storm barrier at Newtown Creek is one of Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s plans to reduce future storm damage. that runs from Beach 116th Street and Beach 143rd Street will be equipped with new duckbill tide gates that allow storm water to drain out but prevent water from flooding in. In Brant Point, structures known as living shorelines would be put into place to slow down waves. Living shorelines are small seawalls made up of organic materials. The goal is to finish them by 2014. The USACE would also be asked to explore lessening overflow risks in the Rockaway Inlet through a surge barrier. According to the report, much of the damage that impacted Jamaica Bay

during Sandy came from the water that flowed in through the Rockaway Inlet. Since flood protection along Jamaica Bay’s shoreline would be extremely difficult, the City is opting for a surge barrier in the Inlet between Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn and Breezy Point. Such a structure would significantly lower risks of flooding in Howard Beach, JFK airport and the bayside of Rockaway. “The Rockaway Peninsula is one of the most exposed parts of our City, but this dune system, when combined with other protections we’re proposing today, will ensure that communities all along the peninsula are better protected

from future storms,” Bloomberg said. In terms of Long Island City, an implementation plan for comprehensive flood-protection improvements for public and private property would be put into place. The City would also raise bulkheads in low-lying neighborhoods to match projections of the rising sea level in 2050. Spread across the five boroughs, the project could impact up to 12 miles of shoreline. Edge elevations along esplanades and open spaces, increased street elevations and park resiliency measures are all proposals that will be looked at in a study expected to be completed by 2015. Another significant move would be to prevent flooding from Newtown Creek, said the Mayor. “One storm surge barrier would be at Newtown Creek, where the storm surge pushed floodwaters into the surrounding neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Long Island City and as far inland as Maspeth,” he said. As for the $19.5 billion price tag, about $10 billion of it will be covered by City capital funding that is already allocated and federal relief funds already designated for the City. Another $5 billion will come from upcoming rounds of Sandy relief that has been appropriated by Congress as well as through FEMA risk mitigation funding.

By Trisha sakhuja Queens Borough President candidates highlighted their positions on key issues facing Queens surrounding the South Asian and Indo-Caribbean community on June 13 at PS 69 in Jackson Heights at a forum hosted by 14 organizations. The forum stressed the need for a Borough President who can deliver the needs of the rapidly growing community, which has witnessed a growth rate of 159 percent in the past two decades. The coalition comprises of organizations like Chhaya CDC, Adhikaar, IndoCaribbean Alliance Inc., South Asian Youth Action, SEVA NYC, The Sikh Coalition, Taking Our Seat, Richmond Economic Development Council, Desis Rising Up and Moving, SACSS, Sheba USA, Turning Point, Women for Afghan Women and YCBA. Director of Policy and Advocacy of United Neighborhood Houses and moderator of the forum, Annetta Seecharran began the evening by saying, “The Borough President’s role is an important one [because] his or her commitment and understanding of the dynamic and diverse South Asian community will significantly impact our future.” Among the crowded list of BP candidates, five were in attendance, Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria), Republican party hopeful Tony Arcabascio, Socialist Worker’s party hopeful Seth Galinsky and former Coun-

Edit Page In Our Opinion:

Why Wait? The announcement earlier this week that Gov. Cuomo and state legislators have reached a deal to bring casinos to four locations in Upstate New York is no doubt good for the economies of those locations, but leaving the City out of the equation was a notable omission. With Resorts World New York City Casino already operating – and doing well for itself despite the lack of table gaming – it seems short-sighted to require the City to wait before table gaming can be introduced within the five boroughs. An attempt to raise tourism revenue upstate is necessary for areas that have lost a good amount from fleeing factories and depressed development, but the same can be said of Queens, which is doing all it can to survive in the shadow of more attractive parts of the City. While a deal has been made, it is in no way final yet, and we hope that before the legislation is voted on and signed, some consideration will be made for the City as we look towards its economic future.

In Your Opinion: Unlikely Action

To The Editor: Your editorial “Call To Action” (Queens Tribune June 13-19) correctly calls for action to redress the decades of neglect that has been visited upon Flushing Meadows Corona Park. What with Mayor Bloomberg and far too many myopic politicians who accept the USTA replacing parkland it takes with FMCP land it already took and reserves the right to use the replaced land; are silent about a 35,000 seat Major Soccer League Stadium in the park; has made no cry in opposition to a Mets ball club ownership of 1.4-million-square-foot shopping mall on Citi Field property, which is in fact FMCP land, it is unlikely your “call to action” will meet with much success. As to Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras, congratulations are far from due. While she has been promoting a coalition of private business both inside and outside the park and a conservancy to aid FMCP, she has consistently refused to make it clear contributions will only be accepted on a philanthropic basis with donors getting nothing in return except name recognition. The failure to do so leaves open the same old selling off park property to the highest bidder. Her silence on the soccer stadium and the Mets shopping mall, does not bode

well for the future of FMCP. Benjamin M. Haber Flushing

Not Ready

To The Editor: Rockaway Beach isn’t stronger than Sandy. As this time of the year comes, I look forward to going to Rockaway Beach to relax and enjoy the summer. I went to the beach the week after Memorial Day weekend when the beaches are supposed to be ready for summer. The Rockaways are far from being ready enjoyed by beachgoers. In order to get onto the beach, you have to find an opening. Due to sand erosion, you need to find a spot along the fence because the water comes up to where you are sitting. Then if you want to swim there are only two areas open for swimming. How are just two areas going to accommodate 10,000 people visiting the beach each day? I didn’t expect to find the boardwalk completed, but I did expect to find a beach where I could relax and swim. I called the elected official that represents the Rockaways. Not only was he curt with me, but he also said that contractor bids started right after Sandy. This is the only progress these contractors have made in all these

months? Perhaps someone should be overseeing these contractors or does a free beach for the public not matter to the City? Where is all the fundraising money that was collected for New York? Rockaway Beach needs to be just as strong as the other beaches in New York and New Jersey! Maria Concolino Woodhaven

Underground Solution

To The Editor: They’ve struck again. The tree manglers hired by Con Edison to “trim” trees near overhead power lines. Trees are being mutilated and disfigured by the manglers cutting the centers out of trees or taking off the branches on one side of certain trees. One large tree that I saw on 45th Avenue in Auburndale now has all of its branches on one side of its trunk. It has been destabilized. During the next fierce storm, that tree is ready to keel over right onto the house it is in front of. The person living there has a big problem and she is aware of it. Con Ed, in their usual arrogant way, claim that they have to do it this way. They act like the trees belong to them. Apparently they have never heard of careful and sensitive pruning that would protect the power lines while retaining the shape and health of the trees. Their supervisors and public relations people need to act on and correct this outrageous situation. Street trees belong to all of us and they must be taken care of properly. Not only do the affected trees look ugly, but their survival is in jeopardy as well. Severe pruning opens up trees to disease and insect infestation. Property values are lowered as well. Our tree canopy is one of the reasons that our neighborhood is so desirable. When trees are lopsided or stressed in this way it makes a negative impact on curb appeal of any property. Perhaps the ultimate solution is to place all of the power lines underground, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for safety reasons and the reduced chance of power failure due to storms year round.

(KXL) Pipeline. It is planned to pump crude tar sand oil from Canada across the U.S to Texas where it would be distilled and sold overseas. I happen to be in accord with the latter since in no way does the XL profit the American people, but rather exclusively the already bloated petroleum industry. For the public, what is left is a three foot diameter filth filled funnel snaking its way South through their land waiting to burst. (see: Mayflower, AZ spill and multiply by ten). Those with a positive view have been conned into thinking that this filthy crude will somehow help us to become oil independent by fulfilling our needs. Nevertheless a pipeline could be a positive thing and truly benefit “we the people.” Imagine if in lieu of the KXL Pipeline, we built an H2O pipeline delivering desalinated water to our decimated states that have suffered through devastating droughts. No more Grapes of Wrath. Building that pipeline would create those jobs that the pro KXLers claim we would not, lest the KXL is built. Additionally desalinization stations would have to be built creating additional jobs. There are already more than 21,000 worldwide. The technology is there. In 1791 Thomas Jefferson did it (in small scale), cruise ships serve thousands, submarines, Saudi Arabia Australia, even our embarrassing Guantanamo Bay. No more disputes concerning the shrinking Colorado River while lowering, however infinitesimally, the rising ocean. We could convert deserts to gardens a la Israel. It’s a win-win situation and if we can get lobbyists with enough of the necessary bribing collateral, congress will love it and make it the law of the land (or sea). One critical measure however must be considered. President Obama must disapprove of the plan or it would undoubtedly be filibustered and blocked. As a proven, “The peoples President,” I’m certain he would comply. Nicholas Zizelis Bayside

Queens This Week Astoria Houses’ three-and four-yearolds sang and danced to, “There’s a big beautiful valley in the sky, it’s my home, and it’s where I live...” Parents watched in excitement as their children graduated from a 10-week literacy program, which for many was their first time learning in a school-like setting. Zone 126 Promise Neighborhood, a non-profit organization working towards increasing the graduation rate of lowincome students from Astoria and Long Island City, organized an Early Family Literacy Program Closing Ceremony on June 17 at the New York City Housing Association Astoria Houses. The 10-week program, which focused on building early literacy skills and increasing socio-economic development, was made possible with the partnership of the Queens Library and Astoria Houses Residents Association. Project 126, a research study conducted in 2011 before Zone 126 came about, was done in partnership with New York University to understand the literacy rates and needs of the children in Astoria and Long Island City. Research from the report concluded that only 29 percent of children under the age of five enter kindergarten prepared to learn and 60 percent of all children under the age of five living in Astoria Houses are in “informal” child care arrangements, rather than center-based settings. “This program is a building block that allows children and their families to bond on a learning experience,” said Executive Director Maritza Arroyo-Diaz. Arroyo-Diaz spoke about expanding the next program by reassessing what worked and did not work with this one, and by designing the hours and days of the next program based on the needs of the children. Since its start in 2011, the nonprofit has worked towards building a greater name for itself and raising funds by collaborating with other organizations to help children in urban societies learn at an earlier age, so they too can succeed in high school and college. “The most special moment of the program was when the kids stopped crying after not leaving their parents in the beginning,” said Andre Stith, zone builder, a resident of Astoria for 30 years and a grandfather of two children with three more grandchildren on the way. He spent quality time with the children along with their teacher to give them direction and help them build their confidence. “After a few weeks, the kids were leading their mothers into the classroom, even during the heavy rain storms. Now they see me on the street and they come up to me to give me a high five,” Stith added. “We have seen the kids change and build their self-confidence and for the first time, they understand a routine,” said Aimee Williams, a librarian for the Queens Library and teacher for the Early Childhood Literacy program. Williams spoke about a special stu-

dent, Koran Dixoa, who cried for the first few weeks and would not leave his parents, but now he interacts with everyone. Their days consisted of story time with an arts and crafts project, learning the alphabets, numbers and lots of singing. “We connected the books they read with art and crafts,” said Williams. “[For example] they read ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ and made butterflies to take home.” Aaliya Sanchez turned five on the day she received a certificate of graduation from the program. “She’s always been so shy, but this program has helped her come out of her shyness and she has been able to communicate with the other kids for the first time,” said Julissa Sanchez, the proud mother of Aaliya.

Koo Secures Camera Funding For 109th Pct. In an effort to keep crime down in Flushing, an elected official has secured capital funding for a new set of surveillance cameras in the area. Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) allocated $200,000 in the 2013 fiscal year to purchase and install NYPD ARGUS surveillance cameras in tactical locations within the 20th Council District. The news comes as the latest police reports for the 109th precinct shows an uptick in a couple of crime categories. The cameras will be located in about a one mile radius around the 109th precinct building found at 37-05 Union Street, Flushing. They will be installed at 133-43 37th Avenue and the intersections of Roosevelt Avenue and College Point Boulevard, College Point Boulevard and 37th Avenue, 41st Avenue and Parsons Boulevard and Northern Boulevard and Union Street. “I allocated resources to purchase the latest technology and surveillance equipment to assist the NYPD in protecting our community,” Koo said. “I hope that these cameras will deter those who want to commit crimes and help capture those who victimize innocent people.” According to the latest CompStat report, which covers the week of June 3 to June 9, major crimes are up for the year to date by a little more than 10 percent. By June 9 in 2012, there were 824 major crimes. In 2013, that

number is 910. This increase is mostly coming from incidents of rape, burglary and grand larceny. In the year to date totals for rape, there have been 16 reported this year, compared to seven by this point last year, a 128.6 percent jump. Burglaries have shot up by 25 percent, with 234 incidents in 2013 so far, rather than 187 in 2012.

Forest Park Senior Center Shuts Down A senior center that has served the elderly for more than 30 years has closed its doors. The Forest Park Senior Center, located at 89-02 91st Street in Woodhaven, shut down last week because they cannot afford the costs of running the center. Donna Marie Caltabiano, the center’s director, said that it closed last Thursday and there is no way that the center can reopen in the future because she cannot afford it. Unlike other senior centers in the Borough, the Forest Park Senior Center gets its money exclusively from discretionary funding. Through both Queens Borough President Helen Marshall and Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), the center gets its money to be open three days a week for its small number of seniors that use its services. Although they still get discretionary funding, Caltabiano said that they get less money than in the past and it often comes

much later than they expect. She said that the late payment of their funding in the past has often left them wondering if they can stay open and this time that possibility has become a reality for the center. The center gets $115,000 in total from the two offices, $55,000 from Ulrich and $60,000 from Marshall. According to Caltabiano, they have been waiting for the money from Marshall’s office since last July. Dan Andrews, a spokesman from Marshall’s office, said that there was a “bureaucratic snafu” in getting the money to the center and that it should be arriving in a matter of weeks. When asked to elaborate on the problem, he said there was office of contracts involving paperwork. Ulrich said that the majority of the senior centers throughout the City are funded by the Dept. for the Aging and does not rely on discretionary funding from elected officials every year like the FP senior center does. “Even if she were able to get that money tomorrow, it’s still not a sustainable business model to run a non-profit when you’re totally reliant on two or three elected officials every year,” Ulrich said at the Woodhaven Residents Block Association meeting last Saturday. Nonetheless, she said that the $60,000 would likely not be enough to reopen the center and they would need it to pay off debts that they have built up, including paying rent to the American Legion Post 118, which is housed in the same building as the center and owns the property. -Luis Gronda

Pressure halts scaffold Law Changes By Trisha sakhuja Community leaders from Make the Road New York gathered on June 17 to voice concern for the preservation of the Scaffold Law, which was under threat in Albany, but to their surprise, the proposed amendment to the 128year-law has ended dead in its trap as the legislative session comes to an end on Friday. Pressure from unions, organizations and many elected officials have pushed Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to halt any changes proposed to the Scaffold Law. The new legislation, which was sponsored by State Sen. Patrick Gallivan (RErie) and Assemblyman Joe Morelle (DRochester), would have put more of the burden on the injured worker, instead of the contractor, to prove the job site was safe. The workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions would be taken into greater consideration by the jury to make sure the injury was not caused by a mistake made on their part. If the law were amended, it would essentially reduce the incentive of contractors to protect workers on the job site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By repealing the Scaffold Law, all of the contractors and developers will accomplish is a shifting of costs from themselves (the people in the best position to prevent worksite injuries) to taxpayers,â&#x20AC;?said Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) in a letter issued to his colleagues on June 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is unfair and economically irrational.

Bill announced To Keep engineers in NY

Photo by Joe Marvilli

By Joe Marvilli Although New York City’s tech industry has been booming lately, a few lawmakers are proposing legislation make sure it stays that way. On June 17 outside the Rosenthal Library on Queens College’s campus, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Hillcrest), State Sen. David Carlucci (D-Westchester) and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer held a press conference with educators, business leaders and civic leaders to announce a bill that would provide partial student loan repayment for engineers who stay in the State. The legislation, known as the Empire Engineers Initiative Act would provide partial student loan repayment for students who graduate from an accredited college or university in New York and are employed as engineers in the State for five years. The amount of loan forgiveness would be equal to 50 percent of the total tuition charged to the student by all schools or 50 percent of the total tuition charged to a state resident student in an engineering program at a SUNY school, whichever is less. “With approximately 20 engineering schools across the State, we remain 38th in the percentage of bachelor’s degrees awarded in science and engineering and 28th overall in the technology and science workforce index,” Rozic said. “New York must do all that it can to inspire students to study engineering and ensure that they put their education to work from Buffalo

Assemblywoman Nily Rozic speaks at Queens College, announcing legislation to keep engineers in the state. to Yonkers to right here in the heart of Queens.” “We developed an amazing product with our SUNY institutions and our CUNY institutions. Then that developed student leaves our state. I call it a braindrain,” Carlucci added. “We need to do what we can to make sure the high caliber of students that are educated here in New York, stay in New York, so that the cities of tomorrow, the companies of tomorrow, can thrive.” If passed, the act would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Many officials, leaders and students at

the conference praised the legislation. “Only one out of four tech jobs are filled in New York right now because there’s not enough of an educated, skilled work force out there to help with these economies. I think that’s why this bill is so important,” Jukay Hsu, founder of Coalition for Queens, said. “Our students leave with $25,000 to $30,000 in student loans,” Joy Colelli, from NYU-Polytechnic Institute, said. “Many companies that recruit our students are offering some relief to some students in their student loans. This bill would certainly add to the students’ op-

portunity and reasoning for staying in New York.” “What I love about this is it lets students from elementary school, middle school and high school see that there’s opportunities in college, there’s opportunities in New York,” Patricia Daly, regional director of NYC FIRST Lego League and High School Robotics, said. “This will offset the expenses that some of these students may occur over this time, not only in the public schools, but also in the privates,” Tim Ward, dean of the school of engineering at Manhattan College, added. “For many, many years, the engineering profession has failed at trying to attract more women and more people of color. I hope this bill will help address some of those issues as well.” “In the beginning, I was applying mostly out-of-state and it was hard for me to find the right networking opportunities,” Hasan Priyo, a graduate in mechanical engineering, said. “It is really great, the fact that all these tech sectors are opening up.” “We’re building out this infrastructure for technology and we’re doing it very well. Yet, at the core, we are not training our young people for the industry. This has to change,” Stringer said, adding that the bill is “a win for the students, it’s a win for the profession and it’s a win for the New York economy.” Reach Reporter Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 125, or at jmarvilli@queenstribune.com.

Cosmos To Begin Play in August

By Luis Gronda With the team’s inaugural comeback season on the horizon, the New York Cosmos are looking to attract fans to come watch what they hope will be an attractive brand of soccer. The Cosmos franchise was reborn in 2010 and is set to play the first game of their rebirth on Aug. 3 at Hofstra University’s James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead. Back in the 1970s and 80s, the Cosmos were one of the most pop-

Marcos senna will play for the new york Cosmos this season.

ular soccer clubs in America and their deep pockets allowed them to sign legendary players such as Pele, Franz Beckenbauer and Giorgio Chinaglia. Now, the team will restart play almost 30 years later with the hopes of having a winning season. Erik Stover, the club’s chief operating officer, said that they are confident that they are putting together a team that will be entertaining to watch and will be successful in the new version of the North American Soccer League. They recently signed 36-year-old midfielder Marcos Senna, most known for playing on La Liga club Villarreal. He also represented his country Brazil at the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008. Other players on the club include former Major League Soccer players Carlos Mendes and Hunter Freeman. The team will have some activities in addition to the game itself for fans that attend the games. They will have a fan fest before every home game all season long that will include games for people of all ages dribbling a soccer ball around cones set up like an obstacle course. Low ticket prices are another reason people to come to the games, Stover said. According to the COO, prices for the games start at $15 and go up to $35. He said that the team also plans on running shuttle buses from Man-

Summer Fun At Skudin Surf Skudin Surf brings the sport of surfing to adults and children ages five and older, of all abilities, in a fun, positive and safe environment. All instructors at Skudin Surf are CPR-, First Aid-, and lifeguard-certified and the school is accredited by the National Surf Schools and Instructors Association (NSSIA). Skudin Surf offers private instruction, group lessons, camps, stand up paddle, corporate events and birthday parties in the seaside town of Long Beach, New York, as well as at Rockaway Beach 67th Street. Also, mobile units will bring Skudin Surf to a location of your choosing. Learn to surf with custom events at your own private beach, beach club or resort. The Skudin family has been teaching surfing for over 30 years. Parents Dave and Beth Skudin surfed together as children in the 60’s at Gilgo Beach, New York and shared their love of the sport with their four boys. The family comes from a heritage of lifeguards, swimmers and surfing champions. Dave and Beth raised their children in some of the most famous surf spots in the country, and have lived in Hawaii, the

Outer Banks of North Carolina and Long Beach, New York. Today the surf school is managed by brothers Cliff and Will Skudin, both professional big wave surfers and currently ranked 16th and 40th, respectively, on the prestigious Big Wave World Tour. The brothers deliver their unique knowledge of the surf and ocean safety in a fun, family-oriented environment. They have extensive experience with all types of surfing, including: barrel riding, aerials, big wave paddle-in, short board maneuvers, stand up paddle, tow-ins, tow-ats, long board, tandem and surfing competition knowledge. The breadth and depth of their expertise enhances the experience of everyone who attends Skudin Surf, from beginners who try surfing for the very first time to experts who want to hone their craft. Lessons are available seven days a week. Surf camps are available Monday through Friday from the end of June through the end of August, with both full week (five days) and half week (three days) surf camps between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. For information, visit www.skudinsurf.com.

hattan and a couple of Long Island Railroad stations to encourage people to use public transportation to come to the games. As for their stadium situation, Stover said that the team plans on staying at Hofstra University for the time being, but they hope to build a new stadium near Belmont Racetrack as part of a stadium/mall development complex in that area.

At the August 3rd season kickoff, Pele is expected to make an appearance at the game as part of a pre-game ceremony celebrating the team’s history, according to Stover.

Eleventh Annual Relay For Life Of Middle Village By Trisha sakhuja The American Cancer Society Inc. continues its strong tradition of hosting its 11th Relay for Life in Middle Village on June 22 at 4 p.m. The relay will take place on the running track of the Juniper Valley Park, located at Lutheran Avenue, between Juniper Boulevard North and 71st Street. This year’s relay will feature a “beach party” theme, so expect to see lots of shark and lifeguard costumes. Volunteers are needed during set-up, which will begin at noon and registration for the race is at 3 p.m. The opening ceremony and Survivor’s Lap will start at 4 p.m. The Luminaria Ceremony will start at 10 p.m. and the closing ceremony will be on the morning of June 23 at 7:30 a.m. Middle Village’s local relay began in 2003 with 19 teams and 12 survivors with a total of $52,000 raised. The race has grown tremendously since then. Those numbers have risen to $190,000 from last year’s total donations collected with 60 participating teams and 138 survivors. This year’s relay consists of 60 teams and 650 to 700 participants are expected at the day of the event. Currently, $151,000 has been raised towards the American Cancer Society and the number is expected to increase with a goal of $200,000. The proceeds raised at the relay will augment the American Cancer Society by further developing research to eliminate cancer, raise awareness, advocacy and service

locally, statewide and nationally. Local businesses such as Maspeth Federal Savings, Glendale Kiwanis and California Pizza Kitchen have all contributed to the relay. “Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, whether it is a friend, family member, coworker or neighbor,” said Alexander Maureau, senior director of the Eastern Division for the American Cancer Society. “We are all joining together to bring an end to this awful disease.” Maureau highlighted the luminaria bags lining the track, which are white bags filled with sand that will continue to burn throughout the night in memory of loved ones lost to cancer. Last year, over 3,000 bags were lit at sundown with each bag dedicated to love one representing the healing power of the community and the importance of finding a cure. “Cancer survivors are our guests of honor at this relay,” said Leslie Orlovsky, senior director of special events. “All are welcome to join us on relay day in the Survivor Tent and to take the first lap that kicks off our event. We celebrate them, we remember those we lost and we fight back against a disease that takes too much.” Join your community at the Relay for Life happening this Saturday in Middle Village and be sure to like the page on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/relayforlifemiddlevillage.

Queens Pup Finalist In Iams Contest

By AsiA EwArt College Point’s own Roxie the Cockapoo may just be on her way to becoming the face of Iams in a national advertisement beginning in July. The puppy, who just turned one last month, has been named a finalist in the Iams Love Tails Contest that began on Valentine’s Day. Along with nine other finalists, Roxie was awarded a cash prize and a year’s supply of Iams pet food, plus the chance to be featured in a national advertisement for Iams. “I’d seen the ad on Facebook,” recalls Anne Kanable, whose family bought Roxie with the intent of her being a family dog. “I wanted others to know how much Roxie changed our lives, but we didn’t really have a good enough picture to send in. The end date was approaching and I saw the ad again, and I remember really wanting to enter. So I did, 15 minutes before the contest ended at midnight. I sent in a blurry Christmas photo. My husband and I couldn’t believe it when Roxie was chosen.” Iams Love Tails is a nationwide contest in search of heartwarming love stories between pets and their owners. Ten finalists were selected based on the unique bond that they share with their dogs and cats, and the important role Iams plays in those relationships. The grand-prize winning family and their

pet will star in a national advertisement for Iams, featuring their real-life “Love Tail.” So what is the Kanable family and Roxie’s story? Within days of joining the family, Roxie was able to get Dane, Anne Marie’s then four year old son born with Down syndrome, to find his voice and speak, after he previously only spoke a handful of words. A year later, Dane, now five, speaks in full sentences and interacts verbally with both the family and Roxie. “Dane had been in therapy since birth. Feeding, physical, occupational; all sorts of therapy was used, but to no avail. Sign language showed a lot of promise; he learned that from his sister. The only thing she couldn’t teach him was speech,” Anne said. Roxie’s effect on Dane still floors Anne and her husband when they think back to their son’s increased speech. “We both had a look of ‘Did he just say that?’ We were completely shocked! Our optimism never ceased. Roxie went from being a family dog to a therapy dog in no time, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Dane went from a few words, to small sentences, to commands. He went through a sentence explosion. He just needed someone to instruct and teach, and Roxie did just that,” she added.

Arts Festival On Diversity Plaza In Jackson Heights What better way to celebrate Diversity Plaza and the local art scene in Jackson Heights than with an all-day public event with free art workshops, music, outdoor exhibitions and beautification activities? The Jackson Heights Arts Festival, to be held on Saturday, June 22, is an initiative to build on the arts community in Queens, increase the visibility of artists that live and work in the neighborhood, promote community-based arts practices and open a dialogue for empowerment through the arts. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., this outdoor festival will provide a space for artists to engage residents and visitors in taking an active role to improve the neighborhood. Artists are invited to come reflect on the neighborhood’s cultural diversity, lifestyles, faiths and history, as well as issues related to sexual orientation, immigration, gentrification, labor and discrimination, among others. This event is part of Making {Art} Spaces, a broader effort initiated by the Hibridos Collective to create public art spaces through collaboration with other artists, neighbors, and local stakeholders. The Diversity Plaza faced usage challenges in the early stages of implementation in September 2011. Residents and merchants expressed

concern and resistance, and almost rejection, to the idea of a pedestrian plaza because of the harm it might have had on the economic and social life of the area. Hibridos Collective believes that the community can come together and change this perception, and successfully implement arts and culture programming that will make this business corridor thrive in collaboration with Sukhi New York, a group of business owners serving as representatives of the pedestrian plaza. The Jackson Heights Arts Festival will begin with beautification projects in the morning hours. Neighborhood volunteers can clean-up and engage in painting activities to bring life and color to the plaza. In the afternoon, local guest artists will be invited to perform, exhibit artwork and provide free art workshops. Interested artists may also submit proposals for art education activities. Queens-based artists of all ages, skill level, and craft, especially from Jackson Heights, Corona and Elmhurst, are encouraged to apply. The Diversity Plaza/37th Road Pedestrian Plaza is located between 73rd St. and 74th St. For more information about the festival, visit www.hibridos. com. -Asia Ewart

From June 24-28, each of these finalist’s stories will be brought to life in a video that will be shared on the Iams Facebook page (facebook.com/Iams). Fans will select their favorite “Love Tail” that week, and the grand prize-winning

family will be announced on July 2. “Roxie is such a good, loving dog and we are so proud of her. Even if we don’t win, I’m just happy that the awareness of therapy dogs is out there,” Anne said.

Art Express To Host Festival

Hosted by Queens Council on the Arts, Queens Art Express (QAX) is an arts festival of exhibitions, events, performances, and great places to eat in the vibrant cultural communities of Queens. Queens Council on the Arts (QCA) is throwing a block party on 37th St. between 34th and 35th Avenues in Astoria to celebrate their move into the Kaufman Astoria Studio community and the center of the most creative, artistic and culinary energies in the borough. The event promises to bring out the artist in all who attend with the appearance of different art groups from around Queens. Each group will bring with them a unique activity that requires much creativity. All Attenborough Naftel, an artist duo from Sunnyside, will create an oversized stoop for an all-day game of creative stoopball. Freestyle Art, an artist team from Long Island City, will provide attendees with paintbrushes attached to fishing poles to create Jackson Pollack style drip paintings. They will also run a

Remote Control Canvas, where you can create a drawing with markers or crayons attached to cars zooming around on a large canvas on the street that you control with a remote. Materials from the Arts will have a table with all kinds of things from their endless warehouse of materials and supplies, and some artists who will do hands-on activities for families and kids. QCA’s High School to Art School students will serve as QCA story ambassadors during the event and rotate as portrait artists creating 60-second charcoal sketches that will be signed and matted. There will also be pushcart food vendors on site, in addition to a live performance by the Beechers Fault closing out the block party. The public is invited to join QCA as they cut the blue r ibbon on their new space at the QAX Block Party on Saturday, June 22 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Queens Council on the Arts’ new space, located at 37-11 35th Ave., with an entrance on 37th St., in Astoria.

Performers Of Queens: Natalia Paruz

Astoria native Natalia Paruz has played with international orchestras, in Carnegie Hall and at Madison Square Garden, and has been on countless news programs and television shows. A skilled musician, she is known widely as the “Saw Lady” because of her unique musical instrument, which usually causes a double take: a carpenter’s saw. “People were a bit puzzled about my choice of the musical saw, which is my main instrument, but when they saw that I played serious music with it, they now think of [it] as a regular musical instrument,” she said. Paruz’s younger years were spent learning to play conventional instruments, like the piano and recorder, and in choir. But the saw, which she discovered while she was on a trip to Europe, she taught herself to play. “When I started to play the musical saw, there were no teachers I could find,” she said. “Today I teach people privately to play, and I also organize workshops as

part of the NYC Musical Saw Festival, which I initiated 10 years ago.” Also parts of her list of instrument are the English hand bells and the cowbells. “I love the sound of all these instruments; [they’re] angelic and spiritual. I also love the fact that they all have a visual aspect to them, so a performance is not just sonicly appealing, but also visually entertaining,” Paruz said. As musically gifted as she is today, this wasn’t always the path that Paruz wanted to pursue. “I always knew I wanted to be in the performing arts, but dance was my intended vocation. It was only after I discovered the musical saw that I realized it gives me much more joy than any other art form,” she said. Up next for the Saw Lady is a June performance in the Hamptons and a sci-fi series in which she not only will contribute to the soundtrack, but act as well. Fans can visit www.sawlady.com for more information and updates.

That's One Way To Campaign

A dating website was going to do their part in helping David Wright get voted as the starting third basemen in this year’s all-star game. That was until the team stepped in and nixed the idea.

CougarLife.com, a dating site that pairs older women with younger men, were talking to the New York Mets asking if they could partner with the team for a campaign to get Wright voted into the mid-summer classic at CitiField. According to published reports, the Mets first sent an email last Friday to CougarLife asking if they could write a blog post asking its users to stuff the ballot box for Wright so that he could overtake San Francisco Giants third basemen Pablo Sandoval in the voting for that position. CougarLife, whose members recently voted the Mets superstar as the most desirable baseball player, was fond of the idea. After that initial conversation, the team emailed Cou-

garLife again and cancelled the idea. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, w e reached out trying to push David for the All-Star team before running our plan entirely up the chain internally. We received some pushback as we don’t feel a partnership working together would be the image that our team and David - especially since he recently got engaged - would like to portray,” the Mets rep said in the email. We at QConf wonder how this would have played out if the Mets went through with this partnership with CougarLife. Wright could use all the votes he can get after all.

Bronx: We'll Take MLS In the latest chapter of “As Major League Soccer Turns,” Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. called out Queens for the controversy surrounding the proposed plan to build a soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park and provided his own solution. He said that if there are problems getting the structure built in Queens, then maybe MLS should look towards the Bronx instead. In a letter sent to MLS commissioner Don Garber, Diaz even said, “It would appear that there is little enthusiasm

for world class soccer in Queens.” Whoa there, Diaz! Before you go ahead and write Queens off as a whole, you should know that us here at QConf have no problem with a soccer stadium in the Borough. We just don’t want it taking away from public parkland. Just think about the uproar that happened when the new Yankee Stadium was built on a neighborhood park a few years ago. Maybe you should come up with a few sites and see what your constituents have to say before calling us out!

'Coming To Get You'

Last week on Tuesday, the Robert Ross Johnson Family Center in St. Albans hosted two public advocate candidates and three other unlikely guests…the Huntleys. Although the disgraced ex-Senator Shirley Huntley left the breakfast early, her daughter, Pamela Corley, and her husband, Herbert Huntley, were given a few moments to address the audience. Corley took the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported her family during her mother’s legal troubles and her own health problems. She went on to

tell the audience that she loved them all but soon after retracted that statement. “Well not all of you, most of you,” Corley said. “I’m gonna keep it real.” But Corley was not done keeping it real. As her father was finishing up a few words she grabbed the mic to warn a few of the Black political candidates who are running for various offices. “I have one more thing to say,” she said. “I wish everyone here running for office all of the luck in the world, but all I want to say is, be careful, because they’re coming after you too.”

Who Lives Here? If you ever wondered how many languages are spoken in the Borough of Queens, wonder no more because blogger Annabel Short wants to create a mural that says, “I live here,” in all of the 160 plus languages spoken in Queens. Short, a resident of Astoria is asking for language advice on her blog, “Why Leave Astorians.” She wants input on how to write “I live here” in any of the languages that are already not on the list

and suggestions for the wall mural. She is also asking to send her a video of saying “I live here” in your language. Each version of “I live here” will be written by someone who speaks the language. Short has yet to find a place for the mural, but hopes to have it up by 2014. If you would like to get involved in this language phenomenon, check out Short’s blog at http://www.iliveherequeens.com/getinvolved/.
