Looking to the future

Latino Community Grows To Meet Challenges told a personal story of how the lack of tAP coverage for undocumented students affected his family. his sister was in the honors program at hillcrest high School and wanted to go to college. Since she was not eligible for tAP though, her mother had to pay the whole tuition, something she could not afford to do after one year. Delgadillo’s sister had to drop out. “it’s very unfortunate that someone so talented does not have the opportunity to come and get an education,” he said. immigration is not limited to just the Latino community though. A month before the tAP press conference, a group of Asian civic leaders and flushing representatives came together to call for the passage of h.r. 15, the Border Security, economic opportunity and immigration Modernization Act, in the house of representatives. the bill would reduce the mass deportations throughout the country that has separated families.

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer the Latin American community is one of the fastest-growing populations in the City. With expansion comes a stronger voice asking for resolutions to the many challenges they face. While that particular group is shouting the loudest for answers to several different issues, those problems concern all five boroughs, and not just one community. the many issues that Queens Latinos face are shared by their fellow residents of the Borough. Problems like workers’ rights and immigration are widespread, but they affect the Latino community particularly hard. With advancements in organization, representation and population though, Latinos are pushing back to make sure that new York City and State provides a better life for all of them. Economic Stability no matter what background a person comes from, he or she wants economic security and stability. After the recession of 2008, Queens has slowly recovered its job market. however, many workers, particularly immigrants, have held rallies and protests in response to what they see as unfair labor practices. hundreds of airport passenger service workers from John f. kennedy and Laguardia Airports came together on April 4 to protest for better pay and work benefits, marching from Jfk and Laguardia over the course of the day. they made the 10-mile march while holding signs that read, “i am a man” and “i am a woman” in english and in Spanish. organized by advocacy group 32BJ Seiu, the rally was held weeks after a civil disobedience mass-arrest of protestors on the 94th Street Bridge in east elmhurst. About a month after the rally, on May 29, hundreds of workers marched into the headquarters of Aviation Safeguard, a contractor who hires airline workers, to demand better pay. “A right is not something someone should give to us, a right is something that nobody can take away,” Juan Chapman, a Laguardia security guard, said in Spanish. “there is no employer that has the right to condemn our families to a life of poverty.” Although many of the protestors were Latino, they were joined by workers from all backgrounds in their fight for a better standard of living. While many workers are fighting for their rights and for improved wages, many immigrants are still struggling to find work at all. fraudulent employment agencies in Queens try to take advantage of those who are in desperate need of a job, ripping them off by charging them for poor or non-existent services. According to a report by new im-

Latino airport service workers marched from JFK Airport to LaGuardia Airport in support of better pay and benefits.

migrant Community empowerment (niCe) and the urban Justice Center’s Community Development Project, these companies are rampant in western Queens and on roosevelt Avenue, and are designed to trick Latin Americans looking for work. Legislation was introduced last session in the Assembly to combat these fake job agencies, in an effort to protect immigrants from scams. Immigration Reform one of the hot-button issues of the last few years has been immigration reform, both at the State and federal levels. in the State Legislature, the DreAM Act has come up repeatedly, with several Queens elected officials vying for its passage. While the bill did pass in

the State Assembly this year, it failed in the State Senate by a vote of 30 in favor and 29 opposed. it would need 32 votes to pass. if it became law, the bill would allow undocumented students who meet in-state tuition requirements to access state financial aid and scholarships for college. the DreAM Act would also make undocumented immigrants eligible for the tuition Assistance Program grant, a financial boost for students of SunY, CunY and not-for-profit independent degree-granting colleges. During an event at Queens College celebrating tAP’s increase, several elected officials and students called for the DreAM Act to pass, to allow undocumented immigrants the same opportunities as their fellow classmates. one QC student, eduardo Delgadillo,

Dozens of workers, many Latino, held a protest outside Aviation Safeguard’s headquarters to demand better pay.

A Growing Community While the challenges may be daunting, the Latino population has continued to grow, both numerically and in terms of influence, in the Borough. Between the 2000 census and the 2010 census, the Latino population has increased by more than 57,000. it jumped from 25 percent to 27.5 percent of the Borough’s population in that 10 year-period, with a total population listed as 613,750 individuals in the last census. however, those numbers do not include undocumented immigrants who did not take part in the census, meaning the number of Latino residents in Queens could be even higher. When broken up into community board districts, the Latino population holds the highest percentage in four areas. in Community Board 3, made up of Jackson heights, north Corona and east elmhurst, 64.2 percent of the residents identify as Latino or hispanic. in Community Board 4, which is elmhurst and Corona, the percentage is 52.3 percent. the Latino population also makes up 40.9 percent of Community Board 9, which covers richmond hill, Woodhaven, kew gardens and ozone Park. in Community Board 2, AkA Maspeth, Sunnyside, Woodside and Long island City, Latinos are 34.6 percent of the population. the Queens Latino community’s increasing influence is also reflected in its elected officials, with Councilwoman Julissa ferreras (D-east elmhurst), Assemblyman francisco Moya (D-Jackson heights), State Sen. Jose Peralta (Deast elmhurst) and u.S. rep. nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn) representing them in government.

EDUCATION

Corona Schools Suffer From Overcrowding

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer As the Latino population continues to grow in Corona, it faces a huge educational difficulty: overcrowding. In the area covered by Community Education Council 24, which includes Corona and Elmhurst, overcrowding in elementary and middle schools is rampant. Although many are working to resolve or lessen this problem, the challenge in CEC 24 is one of the biggest in the Borough. According to the U.S. Census, the population of Community Board 4, which covers Corona and Elmhurst, grew from 167,005 to 172,598. Outside of the Rockaways, this 3.3 percent jump was the biggest out of Queens’ Community Boards. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the overcrowding situation continued to worsen as more and more families flocked to the area. “District 24 has a lot of diversity so it welcomes lots of immigrant families,” Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (DEast Elmhurst) said. “It didn’t happen overnight. It crept up and our Dept. of Education should be focusing on how to mitigate these issues.” Since CB4 has the largest increase in population in Queens, with minimal

municipal space for new schools, should be in a trailer. It CEC 24 is the most overcrowded shouldn’t be in a minisection in Queens. According to building.

SMALL BUSINESS

Lingering Burdens For Latino Business Owners BY JORDAN GIBBONS Staff Writer Throughout the Borough, more and more Latino-owned small businesses are experiencing similar problems, despite the efforts of the City and local community organizations. One major issue is a lack of networking between business owners and the available organizations that provide assistance. Woodside on the Move is a nonprofit organization that has been working to promote the advancement of local businesses since 1976. They host two business expos every year, as well as its annual Taste of Woodside, which brings together local restaurants to showcase their food. Adrian Bordoni, executive director of Woodside on the Move, said there are several organizations business owners can turn to for unique ideas and advice, such as SCORE and the Small Business Development Center at LaGuardia Community College. “A lot of Latinos have businesses in the family, but they come to America and it’s a completely different world,” Bordoni said. New business owners encounter high rents, a lot of paperwork and health inspections and fines that they may not have expected. They may also experience a community that is not too welcoming with parking issues, violations for unsanctioned use of backyards and maintenance on the 7 train. “Sometimes you have the best ideas and business models but the location is tough,” Bordoni said. “Their product may not translate well into other communities.”

Small businesses line Roosevelt Avenue in Corona.

Bordoni said there can also be issues with language barriers with other nationalities and neighboring communities. Another factor is the months of winter where they experience a slowdown in business. Long Island City has The Entrepreneur’s Space, an incubator for food and business that offers counseling, office and kitchen space to assist local businesses with some of these issues.

There is also the New York district office of the Small Business Administration that offers micro loans to business owners. Bordoni said the main issue is that they need to know they have access to these loans and services. “The possibilities are there,” he said. “I think it’s just an issue of getting it out for the Hispanic

community.” Alfonso Quiroz, president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Queens, agreed that the information is out there, but there are recurring issues among business owners. “Either they’re not getting out there for the information or they don’t trust where it’s coming from,” Quiroz said. “That’s the struggle that we find and that’s part of why we’re doing what we do.”

Quiroz said one other specif ic challenge is having access to capital, especially business owners with five to 10 employees. “Some of them can be new to the country; they’ve got no credit history,” he said. “They’re not documenting revenue and expenses properly.” The City has been trying to reach out to them to pull them out of their community to find out more info, but sometimes they’re afraid to get out of their own comfort zones. Accessing information online can also be too much of a hurdle for a lot of them, Quiroz said. “They’re extremely hard working people and they really want their business to be a success,” he said. “They work long hours and it’s hard for them to get someone to cover for them so they can leave the business.” Reach Jordan Gibbons at (718)357-7400 Ext. 123, jgibbons@queenspress.com or @ jgibbons2.

Transportation An Issue In Latino Community By Luis Gronda Staff Writer In the Latino community in northern Queens, transportation is one of many issues that affect residents on a daily basis. Lack of access and convenience to trains and buses can be a problem, especially during rush hour and the weekends. The Corona and Jackson Heights communities are mostly served by the 7 train, the only subway that makes stops in that part of the Borough. It makes regular stops at major thoroughfares such as Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue, 74 Street-Broadway and Woodside-61 Street. Buses that serve that area include the Q23, Q66 and Q72, picking up customers at major thoroughfares such as Roosevelt Avenue, Northern and Junction Boulevards. But transportation has long been considered a problem for the area, with overcrowded buses and lack of train options besides the 7 line. Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (DEast Elmhurst) said commuters in her district often have a long wait while commuting to and from work. A study by the Partnership For New York City

HEALTH

Building Healthy Lives And Finding Care By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer Health in the Hispanic community meHealth in the Hispanic community means health in New York City. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics make up nearly 30 percent of the City’s population. Meanwhile, Hispanics are disproportionately affected by weight and heart problems, and according to the Center for Disease Control, 30 percent of Hispanic New Yorkers lack health insurance. A number of organizations exist to address both the broad, systemic health issues affecting the Hispanic community and the more immediate, individual health choices available. Dr. Marlon Brewer of Elmhurst Hospital sees predominantly Hispanic patients. To address weight and heart issues, he said he recommends avoiding sugary drinks including fruit juices, and minimizing portion size. Brewer also advises exercising for one hour five days a week. “But go slow,” he added. “I don’t want them to go crazy and have a problem.” “[These factors are] pretty prevalent in society in general – people sit watching TV, computer games, not enough fruits and vegetables in the diet,” Brewer

IMMIGRATION

Challenges Ahead, Solutions On The Horizon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queens is an immigrant community,â&#x20AC;? Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) said. As of 2012, approximately 27.9 percent of the residents living in Queens identified as Latino. That number has continued to increase. However, many Latinos still face many challenges because of their immigrant status. According to Moya, â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Queens] is a multicultural place; I represent the most diverse district, with 200 nationalities (Corona, Elmhurst and Jackson Heights). It lends to the great history and it is people from all walks of life that have settled down.â&#x20AC;? Many Latino immigrants reside in the Borough because their families also reside in Queens. However, many Latino immigrants continue to face challenges. The assemblyman said he is trying to be the solution to many of the problems that Latino immigrants face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have introduced legislation that has protected immigrants,â&#x20AC;? he said. Moya is the lead sponsor of the New York State DREAM Act. The DREAM Act is legislation that will help children of undocumented immigrants get funding to go to state colleges. Moya mentioned that he has helped to pass the legislation for the past two years in the Assembly. He was, however, very disappointed with the

action application for children. Daniel Coates, one of the leaders at MRNY said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are big challenges that our communities faces. Our members face challenges in a lot of things [from] good jobs, good wages, overcrowding in schools. Tenants are subject to discrimination from their landlords and police discrimination.â&#x20AC;? Coates said he believes that another challenge Latino immigrants face is the cost of the naturalization process. Coates says that many people are unable to become naturalized because of the cost, therefore they remain immigrants. The cost of applying to become a U.S. citizen is $680 that consists of $595 application fee and $85 fingerprinting fee. Coates says a great thing happening is that people will soon be able to receive ID cards. Anyone will be able to receive ID cards regardless of immigration status. Coates says this will help immigrants get jobs, pay for English classes and receive other opportunities that they are not afforded without the card. City Council Speaker Melissa MarkViverito announced that the Council would vote this week on a plan City Identity Cards. The legislation would allow undocumented immigrants access to a number of key services previously out of reach. -Esther Shittu

WORLD CUP

Latino Fans In A Frenzy Over Futból Tournament By Luis Gronda Staff Writer With the group stage finishing on Thursday, Queens has caught World Cup fever like many throughout the country. Every four years, 32 teams compete for the right to hoist the FIFA World Cup trophy. The world gathers around their television or computer to watch the action and root for their country to emerge victorious. Queens is no different from the rest of the world, as many who emigrated from their home country to pursue the American Dream. They gather at bars and restaurants, such as La Gran Uruguaya and Puerto Colombia restaurants, both in Jackson Heights, to watch the matches each afternoon. During one recent afternoon, Colombia was set to play Japan in its final group stage game before moving onto the round of 16. Even though it was practically a meaningless game for the Colombians, as they already qualified for the next round, many ColombianAmericans were out in full force during the game. They were out on Roosevelt Avenue, Northern Boulevard and 37th Avenue, donning their country’s jersey and waving the yellow, blue and red Colombian flag. Cesar Alvarez, who has lived in Woodhaven for 30 years after coming to the United States from his native Colombia, said he is elated with the way his team is playing right now, but they must defeat Brazil if they want to make it deep into the tournament. Colombia is set to play Uruguay this Saturday and they could play Brazil in the quarterfinal if both teams win their matches. Alvarez also said he has noticed many packed watering holes and eateries in Queens since the tournament began because people enjoy the experience of watching the games in public “It brings all of the countries together,” he said. Antonio Moreira, a Corona resident originally from Uruguay, described the tournament as “a party for the entire world,” especially for people living far

away from their home country. “For those of us not in our own country, it makes me happy that the whole world can see our flag,” he said in Spanish. Uruguay won their match on Tuesday against Italy, but it did include a controversy that caught many people’s attention. Towards the end of the match, Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez appears to have bitten Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder. Chiellini was visibly angry, pulling down his jersey to show the referee the alleged bite mark. The official did not see the incident and it went unpunished. Uruguay scored one minute later and won 1-0. When asked about the incident, Moreira dismissed the controversy, saying they were just playing soccer. “That’s a part of the game. They push and shove each other all the time. You have to defend yourself anyway that you can,” he said in his native language. “It’s

worse if someone breaks your leg, a little bite is nothing.” Richie Torres, a Colombian who lives in Westchester and works in Jackson Heights, disagreed with Moreira’s opinion. “How can you do that? There’s no excuse for that. It’s not part of the game,” he said. There is still a little more than two weeks left in the tournament.

Queens Library Reform Bill Passes Middle BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer A reform bill for the Queens Library passed in the State Senate on Thursday, one week after it got through the Assembly. The legislation, sponsored by State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) and Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry (DCorona), passed by a vote of 59 to 1. It will now head to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk to be signed into law. “Once enacted, my bill will rein in the excesses revealed in recent reports and provide a long-term blueprint for an efficient, transparent and accountable library system of which every Queens resident can be proud,” Gianaris said. The bill will change the appointment and removal process of the Board of Trustees, so a trustee can be removed by the official who appointed him or her. A trustee’s term length would be reduced from five years to three years and would require that a trustee either lives in or owns a business in Queens. An independent labor committee and audit committee would be formed to oversee the Library’s accounting, financial reporting and contracting process. There would also be limits on outside employment. The library would have to hold annual budget hearings and maintain a 30-day public comment period before it can adopt its annual budget as well. The legislation was created in response to the recent controversies that have affected the Queens Library. The library’s CEO, Thomas Galante, has come under fire for his excessive

annual budget hearing process and subjecting the library to the Freedom of Information Law, were added, he voted in favor of the passed legislation. “I am glad that we were able to move past the politics and enact real reform within an institution that receives an enormous a reform bill for the Queens library passed in amount of public the state senate, the latest move in a process funding,” Avella said.

PA Holds Second Noise Roundtable BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE Staff Writer The Port Authority’s airplane noise studies have hit the runway. Last year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the Port Authority to conduct noise studies and establish a community roundtable to address airplane noise over residential neighborhoods. The Port Authority held its second roundtable last Wednesday alongside the Federal Aviation Administration. The bulk of the meeting featured presentations on the logistics of the noise study, as well as an FAA announcement on airspace redesign and the construction of a new air traffic facility. The priorities of the airspace redesign and new facility construction are efficiency and safety, not noise reduction, but FAA director of airspace service Dennis Roberts did speak to collaboration with anti-noise groups. “They can present to us as a group

with issues that are important to them. And how we handle all that, if I don’t have the feedback, I don’t really know. I commit to you that… we are committed to working with the community,” he said. The group also discussed the structure of future roundtables, which will offer accountability to residents and allow for community input in the process. Queens Quiet Skies members argued for a single roundtable representing JFK, LGA and Newark simultaneously. The Eastern Queens Alliance (EQA), in contrast, wants different roundtables representing each airport, with a separate coordinating committee. EBA chair Barbara Brown noted that JFK is larger than LGA, and receives more traffic and heavier planes. “Those are conversations that have to be dealt with, and our fear is that they’re not going to be dealt with in this kind of conglomeration of airports,” Brown said.

For Queens Quiet Skies president Janet Mceneaney, the roundtable represented a promising start to what will be a long process. “It went very well,” she said. “I was very happy that we were able to have a give and take with the FAA over their plans, and I think that I see us moving forward together.” Resident Clarence Beninati said he was not so optimistic. Beninati lives in Bayside, what he called “ground zero” of airplane noise. “Regarding noise – that was to me a sham,” Beninati said, adding that he would have preferred to hear the Port Authority address residents’ complaints outright, rather than presenting the structure and requirements of the study, and then accepting questions. The Port Authority will hold its first aviation noise roundtable for Newark Liberty airport on Monday evening.

Schools Get Universal Free Lunches BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE Staff Writer Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito announced last Thursday that funding for free lunch at all public middle schools in the City will be included in the Fiscal Year 2015 budget. The City allocated $6.25 million to fund the lunch program, which will feed about 170,000 children, according to a City Council statement released last week. The lunch program will begin this fall. Until this point, the City provided free and reduced-price lunches only to qualifying low-income students. According to Community Food Advocates, DOE data indicates that on average one third of eligible students opt out of free and reduced-price meal programs. Community Food Advocates is a nonprofit that spearheaded a “Lunch 4 Learning” campaign for universal free school lunches. “This is an incredibly transformative moment for middle school students who will grow up with a school lunch program where everyone eats on equal terms – the poverty stigma attached to school lunch will be erased,” said Liz Accles, executive director of Community Food Advocates, in a statement released last week. “This major shift lays the groundwork for universal free school lunch for all New York City students,” Accles added. Leslie Costa, public school parent and PTA co-president at PS/IS 78, said she has some reservations about the funding. “I do believe children who need a free lunch deserve to have a healthy meal, but don’t think money should be wasted on those who don’t, or don’t feel like making a lunch,” Costa said. “That money could be better spent on enrichment programs, which most everyone I know feels is incredibly important.” The $75 billion budget also includes $17 million to keep 57 public housing community and senior centers open, $11.1 million for CUNY merit based scholarships and $6.2 million to hire police administrative aids, allowing more police officers to be deployed to the streets.

Ragusa Dies After Battle With Leukemia By Luis Gronda Staff Writer Queens Republican Party Chairman Phil Ragusa, 74, passed away on Tuesday after a brief battle with leukemia. The Queens GOP sent out a statement on Tuesday, announcing his death. “Chairman Ragusa had dedicated his life to serving his community, the Republican Party and particularly his friends and family. He has been Chairman of the Queens Republican Party since 2007 and will be sorely missed,” said party spokesperson Robert Hornak. Ragusa faced difficult times towards the end of his run as chairman, including a petition against his reelection last year because some party members had concerns about the way the vote was conducted. A judge ruled against the petition earlier this year, saying there was not enough evidence to overturn the vote. State GOP Chairman Ed Cox released a statement about Ragusa’s death. “Phil was a good man, was dedicated to Queens County and the Republican Party and was an indomitable County Chair,” he said. U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) also had kind words for Ragusa after

the news of his death became public, asking Queens residents to join her in mourning his passing. “I’m saddened to learn about the passing of Chairman Ragusa. He was a decent and honorable man who for many years worked tirelessly to help improve his community and his party,” she said in a statement. Kevin Ryan, who is the Northeast Queens Republican Club President, took to Twitter to express his condolences.

“I was very sad to learn of the passing of Phil Ragusa today and my heart goes out to his family and friends,” he wrote. Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, Ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune.com, or @luisgronda.

CB3 Approves Street Safety Changes By Jackie strawBridGe Staff Writer During its breezy outdoor meeting last week at Diversity Plaza, Community Board 3 approved two street safety modifications in Jackson Heights. A proposed slow zone will lower the speed limit from 30 mph to 20 mph on streets between the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and 87th Street and 34th Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. This largely residential area sees a high number of accidents, three of which have resulted in fatalities since 2007. According to the DOT, odds of pedestrian death are four times lower in crashes at 20 mph versus 30 mph.

“The slow zone came from a local request,” said Scott Johnson of the DOT. “We think it’s a really good area to do it because you have a lot of schools in the area and there’s a big safety issue.” CB3 also approved a proposal to put pedestrian islands on Northern Boulevard from 62nd Street to 102nd Street. Northern Boulevard, which sees about 26 traffic injuries per mile, has been deemed a “high crash corridor” by the DOT. According to the Federal Highway Administration, pedestrian crashes decrease by 46 percent with the addition of islands. Six pedestrian islands have been added to the road – this proposal adds

nine more, all but three of which are slated to be built with trees. Board member Ann Brown said she approves of attention to green space. “With the pedestrian malls, I’m hoping every time they put one there, it’s not just a slab of concrete, that they actually put some greenery there, and make Northern Boulevard look nice,” Brown said. At the meeting, CB3 also approved a land use application for temporary construction easements to the Roosevelt Avenue bridge during its rehabilitation.

Flushing Hospital Gets New Equipment

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer New equipment at Flushing Hospital’s Advanced Imaging Center will increase efficiency for its patients. The hospital recently added a 3T MRI Scanner and a Siemans Flash CT Split Second Scanner to its ranks. Both pieces of advanced technology promise top-of-the-line exams that are faster, more accurate and more convenient for the patients and the physicians. The 3T MRI Scanner contains Total Imaging Matrix integrated coil technology, allowing for more detailed image quality. The scanner covers the whole body, meaning that the patient does not have to be repositioned, and

it takes half the time of a regular MRI. The scanner also has an Open Bore design, rather than the closed cylinder, letting it take care of individuals of all sizes, as well as those uncomfortable in small spaces. “Traditional MRIs are almost like a tunnel. For some people who feel claustrophobic, it’s very difficult,” Michael Hinck, director of public affairs, said. “With an Open Bore design, there’s no sense of that claustrophobia or closed-in feeling. It puts them at ease.” Flushing Hospital received the topof-the-line MRI Scanner about six months ago. The other new piece of equipment, the Flash CT Scanner, uses Dual Source

technology for a near-instantaneous scan. Patients will no longer have to worry about holding their breath or staying still. “It is much, much faster than our regular scanners. A cat scan of the chest, for example, will take .6 seconds, even before a patient has time to breathe,” Dr. Sabiha Raoof, chairperson of the Dept. of Radiology at the hospital, said. “We are quite confident that we’re going to be providing topof-the-line service for our patients.” The new scanner also uses the lowest amount of radiation possible, improving patient safety while still providing a high-quality image. The CT scanner was installed four months ago, making Flushing Hospital the only one in

Queens with this equipment. These two improvements come in the midst of other recent upgrades at Flushing Hospital, including a new ambulatory care unit and a new hospice unit. Executive Vice President and COO Robert Levine added that the equipment is the next step in the hospital’s efforts to fulfill its mission of service and care to the neighborhood. “We have a mission going back a long time to take care of the community,” he said. “All of these services further expand the mission of the hospital.” Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @JoeMarvilli.

Port Authority Tests Responses At Airport By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer

Choreographed chaos broke out at LaGuardia Airport Saturday morning, for a yearly emergency response drill conducted by the Port Authority. Close to 150 volunteers, splattered with red paint, dirt and fake guts, acted as victims in an imagined Boeing 737 crash. Many were sprinkled across the pavement, some pretending to be unconscious, some stifling laughter or chatting – others were led slowly out of the plane, coughing Photos by JAckiE strAwbridGE theatrically.

Simplify Primary Schedules On Election Day 2014, set for Nov. 4, voters will go to the polls to vote for representatives in Congress and the State Senate and Assembly. For some, it will be the third time this year that they are asked to choose a representative. This past Tuesday, some districts went to the polls for the Congressional primary. On Sept. 9, the State will hold a second primary for Senate and Assembly candidates who face a challenge. That’s three separate election days over the course of less than five months. As voter turnout continues to decline, we may want to consider the sharp loss of voters as election fatigue. For those who pay attention, the election cycle seems neverending. Take the last two years: from Presidential election to Mayoral and City-wide elections to, now, State-wide and Congressional seats. Once these mid-term elections are over, focus will no doubt shift back to the 2016 Presidential race and who will be in line to succeed President Barack Obama. The constant election cycle is too much, and not only does it burn out those who pay attention to such things, it also costs the City and State more money than if they chose to only hold one primary day per cycle. A third election date costs millions of dollars – election day workers, poll monitors, vote counters and others need to be paid, after all. New York State has been slow to change in a number of areas pertaining to elections – just look how long it took to implement new mandated voting machines. But in a time when saving municipal funds is a paramount concern, why do we accept the wasteful spending that occurs over the course of two primary elections and one general election? A streamlined election schedule throughout New York State would have the benefit of not only of saving municipal funds, but to also wear down the potential for this perceived election fatigue. The time for the State Board of Elections to make changes to the system has come. Waiting too long could be costly.

Different Side Of Gun Stats

To The Editor: f something affects 0.0000017 percent of the population, is it worth making laws that will seriously affect the remainder of that population? There are 300,000.000,000 guns in the United States. About 50 or 0.000001 percent of our guns were used to create massive crimes in the last five years. If something affects 0.000001 percent of the population, is it worth making laws that will seriously affect the remainder of the population. Should you create laws that

encumber 299,999,950 people, and laws that will only have a slim chance of preventing the 0.0000017 percent from doing these crimes? This does not compute. You cannot make laws based on the lowest common denominator and enjoy a free country. Time spent on an issue with this small a percentage is time wasted. Yes, the killing of people and children in particular is horrible, and I understand the trauma as I have gone through that trauma myself, but the country as a whole is what is important. Every year, thousands of people die or are

mutilated by accidents other than by guns, so why is the focus only on guns? As per gunowners.org, one and a half million times a year, honest citizens who had a gun, have prevented a crime or a loss of life. That number grossly offsets the number of those good individuals that died from the misuse of guns and these statistics justifies and illustrates the value of the Second Amendment of the Constitution. These figures never reach the newspapers, as “good” is not news. John Procida, Flushing

To The Editor: hank you, Ed Braunstein. For some time, a dirty little secret, not touted on the glossy college recruiting brochures, a fact has been emerging that the glamorous, exciting, academic and fun-filled world of many of our colleges has been the danger and criminal acts of violence against our young women on and around our college campuses! The horror of the girls and parents who sacrifice economic security to give them the opportunity to grow their future turns into tragedy and reports in recent stories tell us that one in five girls experiences some type of sex or rape! Research by the United States Department of Justice and The White House Council on Women and Girls indicates that 1 in 5 college females has been the victim of a sexual assault, and only 12 percent of student victims report the assault to law enforcement. “All too frequently, we hear stories about on-campus crimes, often sexual in nature that are swept under the rug by colleges in an effort to protect their reputation,” said Assemblyman Braunstein. “This creates a system where criminals are not held accountable for their actions and parents are not provided with facts about the safety of the school where they send their children. The perpetrators of these crimes should be prosecuted in a court of law. As such, in addition to conducting internal investigations under Title IX and the Clery Act, colleges and universities should be compelled to inform local law enforcement agencies about these cases.” Long hidden, these statistics have been allowed to exist and grow due to the failure of college authorities to take responsibilities for the safety and security of their students and the feelings of aid and shame felt by these young victims who are relucMaureen Coppola Advertising Director Howard Swengler Major Accounts Manager

tant to report the crimes! How did this situation happen? As the result of the big changes in the sixties in students demand for freedom and long held attitudes about sexual freedom, colleges changed from the old wages of rigid separation of the sexes and rules about leaving campus. Unfortunately, young women leaving home for the first time and coming to this free atmosphere, wanting to make friends and be popular, are naïve about the dangers. Faced with the double standard for young men, cheered on and encouraged by the social media and movies, also wanting friendship and status, feel obliged to “score,” sometimes band together and encourage each other to get the girls drunk and even slip drugs into their unattended drinks causing the kind of excess acts and refusal to accept that “no means no!” When the girls do report the incidents, the colleges don’t want the bad publicity and often hide the facts. We thank our Assemblyman Edward Braunstein for his sensitivity to the plight of these young women who deserve to get their education and enjoy the benefits of their college experience free from fear of violence and years of physiological damage. Colleges must not be allowed to abdicate their responsibility and hide this ugly fact on their campus to avoid responsibility. The legislation will help to prevent the hiding of statistics but the college administration must take action and develop programs to control this behavior. The attitude in the town and the police must also be involved and our communities to look at the problem and work on the solutions. Thank you Ed for taking the first step! Ann J.

LEISURE

Kupferberg Brings Satchmo Back To Queens By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer Satchmo’s home borough is continuing his legacy. The Louis Armstrong International Music Festival, presented by the Kupferberg Center for the Performing Arts and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Armstrong’s 1964 World’s Fair performance. Two years in the making, this festival unites Latin, jazz, rock and Sufi musicians with roots in every part of the globe. “The idea was to really make it accessible, affordable and to really showcase what we mean when we say ‘all kinds of music’ – and that quote comes from Lou-

is Armstrong,” said Jeffrey Rosenstock, assistant vice principal of external and government relations at Queens College, who spearheaded this festival. Armstrong – or “Ambassador Satch” – was dedicated to the idea of collecting and embracing music from around the world, according to Rosenstock. “Louis Armstrong was an ambassador for the U.S. during his day… and we see Queens as the ambassador today,” he said, due to the diversity of art and culture coming from the Borough. “What I love about Queens is the diversity of it – it’s like a mini planet Earth,” echoed Salman Ahmad, a Pakistani rocker and humanitarian who will be performing at the festival with his band, Junoon.

A Perfect Patio And Fantastic Food I recently returned to Vivaldi, located in Bayside, after having reviewed the restaurant one year ago. Immediately after walking in, it was clear that business has been good to them. With private parties throughout the establishment and boisterous crowds enjoying every bite of their food, it’s easy to see how successful Vivaldi has become. Our host, Hoboken’s own Billy Pappas, greets his guests with a smile right away. For this particular review, I was to observe the patio, curious to see what the venue has to offer for the summer. With a full-service bar, ample tables and chairs, beautiful greenery and a gazebo to top off the surroundings, the patio is intimate and private while still very open. You may never want to leave. After my guest and I sat down at an outdoor table equipped with menus, Billy let us know he would send out the chef ’s picks. We began with the signature appetizer: charred octopus over a yogurt chickpea salad. This dish is a must-have. The challenge – my guest – no fan of octopus, was completely turned off by the thought of eating the charred tentacles, but the satisfactory look on my face encouraged her to try it. I soon realized that I had lost the dish, because it was eaten by my companion. While I watched her thoroughly devour the octopus, I found myself devouring Vivaldi’s baked clams. I unknowingly finished all the clams and the bread on the table, soaking up any leftover sauce on my plate. Next up was the tuna tartar, which had a nice hint of spice to it that paired well with the sliced apples and jicama spread among the chopped tuna. I was highly anticipating the lamb chops Billy spoke of. But first, he brought out an entrée order of seared scallops over a perfect pea puree with

“What’s wonderful about Satchmo is not only that he was a phenomenal virtuoso, musician, singer, but he also had this love for humanity, and he wanted to connect through his music across cultures,” Ahmad said. “The Louis Armstrong music festival is a perfect platform to bring a message of unity, wellness, harmony and joy.” Rosenstock sees Sunday’s event as a launching pad for a larger festival. Ultimately, he said, “we’re envisioning a two day festival during the afterLouis armstrong, also known as noon, with multiple stages.” Most importantly, he said he hopes “ambassador Satch.” that through Sunday’s event and future Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Follow us on Twitter: @QueensTrib @SEQueensPress Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/ QueensTrib Two days after a mistrial released State Sen. Malcolm Smith from his fraud trial, the veteran politician was back in the chamber, albeit a little more tight-lipped than he’s known to be. According to published reports, Smith had no comment about the mistrial or new trial, scheduled to begin in January, and simply stated “yes” when asked if he still plans to seek reelection this year.

Maybe Smith is eschewing English for what must be his new favorite language – Yiddish. His mistrial was declared after the prosecution disclosed piles of untraslated Yiddish recordings of conversations between government informer Moses Stern and activist Joseph Frager. His return to chambers had the media all fermisht, gleefully Tweeting out sightings of the senator.

Sleepover At Citi Field

Gather your pillows and blankets and go have a sleepover at Citi Field! The team announced its second annual Citi Field sleepover last week, inviting fans to sleep on the same outfield where Curtis Granderson and company roam every home game. On July 19, fans who choose to spend their day and night will get to do many activities at the stadium including watching what should be a high scoring affair between the Mets and Padres game that night. According to a Mets press

release, other activities offered at the 15-hour event include a dinner buffet and breakfast the next morning. Fans will also get to meet Mr. and Mrs. Met at some point during the sleepover. The price for calling Citi Field your bed for a night won’t be cheap though. It costs $200 each for one to three tickets and $175 each if you purchase four to six tickets. As a gift for shelling out that money, fans who attend the sleep over will get a free ticket to the Sept. 28 game against the Houston Astros.

Knowing When To Quit

A Ridgewood resident escaped police custody last week by commandeering the police van he was placed in after being arrested for drug charges. Bryan McMenamin, 38, was arrested in Glendale along with another man and both were handcuffed and put in the van. While the police were outside the vehicle, McMenamin managed to maneuver his hands in front of him and began to drive the vehicle. A detective grabbed onto the driver’s side door and McMenamin put the van in reverse and dragged the detective for approximately one block, injuring his legs. The van was recovered later that night with the other man still inside. Police located McMenamin and rearrested him in downtown Manhattan the next day. McMenamin now, if convicted, faces up to 25 years in prison for the additional charges of second-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, first-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle, fourth-degree grand larceny, second-degree escape, tampering with physical evidence and reckless driving on top of his drug charges. McMenamin really should have cut his losses when he got arrested the first time.

While music played a big role in Christopher Paul’s youth, he did not start in rock music. Growing up as a classical pianist, Paul made the transition in high school to pop-punk. With a deep-seated love of karaoke as well, Paul had everything he needed to start a music career. “It was only a matter of time before I thought to combine the creation of music through playing an instrument with the performance aspect of singing karaoke,” Paul said. “When I found myself still performing in college, I realized that this is definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life.” Paul’s music is rough and rowdy rock and roll played how it is supposed to be played: fast and loud. His songs have a punk edge, but do not sacrifice melody to put forward that level of energy. The Queens Village musician said his writing process differs from song to song, but it always starts with an idea. “The initial idea that begins the songwriting process is always sparked by a feeling that I'm having at the current moment,” he said. The debut EP by Paul, “No Shame In Playing With Yourself,” was conceptualized about a year and a half ago, when he decided to start his own solo recordings after being unable to find band members after graduating from high school. The record was assembled in Paul’s home studio, with the help of producer Peter Tanico, and it was released in January of this year. Although he records music under his own name, he

is also the drummer for The Silverwings, a band that came together during his freshman year of high school. For Paul, one of the biggest differences between recording with the band and recording by himself is the feedback he does or does not receive. “I also obviously only have my own opinion when things are recorded so I'll spend time emailing recorded worksin-progress to get second opinions from my friends,” Paul said. “As a band, one member will act as producer and we record our parts in each other's company and it's a much different experience.” While Queens Village may not have the resources of somewhere like Long Island City, Paul said that the neighborhood has a very supportive music scene. “There are not many venues to play in Queens Village but there are many talented musicians that I've had the pleasure of sharing experiences with over the years,” he said. “We've put on shows in each other’s backyards for huge crowds. It's a tight scene with many local hometown heroes and the best sense of community and family that any music scene can offer.” The Silverwings are currently recording a new seventrack record titled “Lignum Vitae,” with no release date yet scheduled. Paul is also working on his full-length debut, which he hopes to have out in early 2015. He also plans to play a ton of shows in the City in the near future.
