Queens Gets Shorted On State Education Funds With 27 Percent of Students Getting 10 Percent of Funds

By Joe Marvilli Staff Writer Despite the fact that Queens has the largest student population in the five boroughs, some officials believe the Borough is not receiving its due funding by the State Education Dept.

Out of New York City’s five boroughs, Queens has the second highest student population. However, it has only been awarded about 10 percent of the NYSED’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers funds allocated for New York City. This amount is lower than any other borough outside of Staten Island. Such a low amount of money affects both schools and nonprofits that rely heavily on state funding.

Queens has a total of 265,053 students. The total amount of funding for New York City is $43,000,000. Of that number, Queens has been given less than $4 million, according to a statement by Assemblymembers Catherine

Nolan (D-Sunnyside) and Mike Miller (D-Woodhaven). Manhattan is given a little more than $14.5 million, around 35 percent of the funding, even though it only has 15.2 percent of the student population, which totals 144,148.

The $10 million difference in spite of Queens’ far higher student population has been a large source of concern for both elected officials and civic leaders.

Staten Island receives less than $200,000 and has six percent of the City’s student population. The Bronx has 20 percent of the City’s students and gets nearly $12 million in funding. Brooklyn’s student population of 29 percent gets a little more than $12 million in funding.

The Borough’s financial total looks worse when all of New York State is taken into consideration. Out of the $78,000,000 in funding from the NYSED, less than six percent goes to Queens.

“Queens is home to a great number of hardworking families who rely heavily on these programs. It is also well known for its large immigrant population for whom programs like this are incredibly important. It is utterly reprehensible to leave the bor-

ough of Queens without adequate after-school and summer program funding,” Nolan and Miller said.

The two officials also said they have written to State Education Commissioner John King and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli to review the process by which the awards were given out.

The funds are for both school districts and not-for-profits. To apply for the grants, proposals are written and sent to NYSED before the deadline in January. The receivers are announced in June.

Given Queens’ low percentage of overall grant money, not-for-profits like the Greater Ridgewood Youth Council, did not receive funding this year.

Bob Monahan, its president, said that he was “disappointed that after six years, they will not have funding to support youth and families in one of the most humble neighborhoods in New York City.”

Monahan added that he has written to NYSED and is waiting for their response.

Proposed Queens Library Cuts Killed Council Agrees To Restore $106 Million To City Budget

By Trisha sakhuJa Staff Writer The Queens Library advocates and elected officials can take a sigh of relief because the City Council and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have agreed to restore the $106 million in cuts to libraries across the Borough.

The proposed cuts would have significantly cut a number of services provided by 36 of the 62 libraries, but if victory is on their side, the Queens Library will start their 2014 fiscal year with their services and budget intact.

“Tens of millions of our neighbors use free library resources or attend free library programs,” Queens Library President Thomas Galante said.

“They enjoy quiet reading time, sharpen their skills for their next big job, use the computers, prepare for an important exam for work or school, find out more about a health condition or email a friend far away. To do that, libraries must remain open for service at least five days a week or more.”

The City Council was set to vote late Wednesday night on the final budget,

but it has been the goal of Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) to restore the $106 million proposed cuts to the library system, which includes Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

Van Bramer, chairman of the Council’s Committee on Cultural Affairs and Libraries, has played an influential role during the budget negotiation meetings in order to save every Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-astoria) cent proposed to be cut.

DOMA Dumped

By Trisha sakhuJa Staff Writer The Supreme Court’s ruling against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) on June 26 is a victory for anyone who believes in marriage equality and falling in love, regardless of your sexual orientation.

“Today, the Supreme Court has helped this country take one huge step toward fully realizing the ideals upon which the United States was founded,” said openly gay Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights). “A grave injustice has been righted for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. I am elated that the Supreme Court has relegated to the trash heap of history the ludicrously misnamed Defense of Marriage Act.” The Justices’ made an historic step in a 5 to 4 ruling, by striking down Section 3 of DOMA, signed

by President Clinton in 1996, which denied federal benefits and extended to more than a 1,000 federal laws and statutes, like social security benefits, the ability to file joint tax returns, veteran’s benefits and family medical leave to same-sex couples legally married.

“Today’s Supreme Court ruling is an incredibly powerful one overturning the horrendously wrong Defense of Marriage Act and rendering fully equal all Americans regardless of their sexual orientation,” said Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside).

The case, Windsor v. United States, challenged the federal law, which prohibited against the rights of gays and lesbians and imposed on to states’ rights on same sex marriages.

Edith Windsor, who lived with her partner Thea Spyer in New York, married under oath in 2007, but when Spyer died in 2009, she left Windsor her estate. Since their marriage was not recognized under DOMA, even though it was recognized by their home state, Windsor was then liable to pay $363,053 in estate taxes.

The ruling impacts approximately 130,000 legally married same-sex couples who have previously been denied federal benefits under the provision.

Huntley Calls Out Schneiderman And Smith

By Joe Marvilli Staff Writer Before heading to prison, former State Senator Shirley Huntley wanted to set the record straight and share her side of the story.

Huntley sat down with journalist Roy Paul in the back of Edge Bar and Lounge in St. Albans on June 22. During her interview, she called out both State Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis) and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for targeting her due to the fact that she did not toe the line and support them while in Albany.

She said that most of her knowledge of the situation developed from an unnamed witness who tipped her off that Smith was aiming for her because she did not vote for him for Senate Majority Leader.

“After listening to my witness, I realized I was being targeted basically

by Malcolm Smith. I was being targeted by him because I didn’t vote for him. His words were ‘You went with Brooklyn.’ Around the community, many people know he told people he was going to take care of me,” Huntley said.

Huntley also said Schneiderman’s pursuit of her case was due to disagreements they had when they were both in the State Senate.

“There were things that he had

tone when speaking to her attorney, though she would not give out many details beyond one example.

“When I was in Nassau County Court for my case, someone from the Attorney General’s office said, ‘We don’t want jail time for her in Nassau County because she’s going to get 18 months PHOTO BY JOE MARVILLI Former State Sen.

Moving from Smith and SchneiHuntley added that the Attorney derman, Huntley went on to criticize General’s office often took on a hostile the nature of politics in Albany as a

whole, stating that those in charge want someone who will go along with them.

“Whatever comes up, they want you to agree. I am a person who cannot agree with everything. In fact, they called me the Lone Ranger when I was there and that’s because I was alone,” she said. “I did what I had to do. I did the job and was there on behalf of my constituents.”

Huntley is getting ready to serve a sentence of one year and one day in prison for covering up a member item scam in regards to the Parent Workshop, a bogus nonprofit organization she founded. She was arrested on August 27, 2012 and sentenced on May 9 of this year.

The former State Senator mentioned that the incident with Parent Workshop that led to her arrest and indictment went back to far before her time in the Senate and that she did not do anything wrong while she was an elected official, despite giving state grants to the non-profit.

“The bottom line is I was not in the Senate when the case happened.

This was something that went back to 1994,” she said. “I was not in the Senate doling out money to anyone. I didn’t go into the Senate until 2007.”

New Survey Will Study Elmhurst LIRR Viability

By Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer The Elmhurst Long Island Rail Road station was demolished in 1985 because of its minimal use; but since then, Elmhurst has seen tremendous growth in its community, which could lead to the reopening of the Elmhurst station, at the corner of Broadway and Whitney Avenue.

U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) connected a story about former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s visit to his home and the surprise morning wake-up call she heard from the loud LIRR train passing by, which

has not made a stop at the Elmhurst station for decades.

“But, now residents can accept that noise if they get their station back,” Crowley said.

Crowley announced the commencement of a ridership survey to collect data from area residents to help determine the viability of reopening the Elmhurst LIRR station along with U.S. Rep Grace Meng (D-Bayside), Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) and LIRR President Helena Williams on the morning of June 21 in front of the Elmhurst LIRR station.

“This survey is an important next

step in the reopening of this station,” Dromm said as a train passed by.

There are two components to this ridership survey. One is the written survey that will be mailed to households within a half-mile radius of the site beginning at the end of June and the second component will be a survey conducted in person at strategically chosen sites, including nearby subway stations and areas surrounding the Elmhurst Hospital Center.

“We urge residents to take a few minutes to fill it out,” said Williams. “There are many issues that need to be carefully evaluated as part of this process, but this is an important first step.”

“I study in the City and my husband works there, so a LIRR stop here in Elmhurst will be a great opportunity for us,” said Jiajin Chen, a resident of Elmhurst and a student pursuing her doctorate at Baruch College, who uses the subway to Manhattan, which is a 50 minute one-way ride.

The Port Washington train runs past the Elmhurst stop, but it can not stop there unless a new station is built, which is now a possibility, but still no guarantee a station will be built.

Graffiti Mecca Proposed To Move To MoMA PS1

By Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer The graffiti Mecca of Long Island City, famously known as 5Pointz, has come to a crossroads between the artists and the developer’s owner, but a third-party has proposed a solution that could satisfy all the needs of the community.

The building’s owner, David Wolkoff, wants to help the surrounding community progress with an economic boost, but the plans includes

demolishing the graffiti-covered building and replacing it with two high-rise apartment buildings.

The community would benefit from an influx of home owners, but no one wants to sacrifice the art.

Long Island City’s Parent Group echoes the sentiments of the conscious developer, who wants to build high-rise apartment buildings. Unlike the angry graffiti activists, they see a unique opportunity to move the graffiti across the street from 5Pointz onto the walls of another art-friendly, non-

profit institution, MoMA PS1, located at 22-25 Jackson Ave. Their proposal was read through their weekly newsletter on June 21.

“The bare grey walls of the modern-art museum could serve as a giant canvas for artists,” said Kris Schrey, a long-time resident of Long Island City and the co-organizer of the LIC Parent’s Group. “The developer has a right to build there and we do need the economic boost.”

The LIC Parent’s Group has measured the bare walls of the art institu-

tion, which totals 6,000-7,000-squarefeet of open space for artists to splatter and spray their art.

“I have received a lot of feedback from community members and everyone is very supportive of the idea,” said Schrey.

The LIC Parent’s Group is waiting to hear MoMA’s response to the proposal.

MoMA PS1 did not return calls for comment.

Three Reasons For Quinn

In Our OpInIOn

We Want Our Fair Share The figures detailing the State Education Dept. funding for Queens is another disheartening look at how the Borough is treated when it comes to much-needed influxes of money.

Over the past few years, we have covered a number of school closings and colocations, in addition to news about sub-par educational tools and teachers unable to properly educate their students. And we wonder why test scores continue to plummet.

Seeing such a disparity between the percentage of students in Queens and the percentage of funding allocated by the State makes the situation all the more serious.

Schools in Queens will never improve if they continue to got the short shrift when it comes to funding, and each time a school needs to make sacrifices in the wake of overwhelming budget shortfalls, the people most affected are the students. These children are the ones we should be looking out for in any discussion about school funding. Unfortunately, that is not the case more often than not.

It is well past the time for officials to find another way to provide funding for our schools, or else our children’s educational future will be placed in a perilous predicament.

In YOur OpInIOn Making A Choice For Transit Priorities To The Editor:

A

ustin Shafran is a candidate who I think feels that because of his connections, he can talk down to our community and not have to care about our community. I have experienced this from Shafran first hand when I approached him to discuss issues that face our express bus riders and made him aware of the various problems that we have with our express bus routes. The response that I received from Shafran was that transit priorities in the district should be focused on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) because LIRR stations have parking lots where people can park their cars - not considering that parking can be difficult at the LIRR stations in the districts that have parking lots available such as Bayside or Broadway and there are other LIRR stations such as Auburndale that do not have

parking available. This is not considering the fact that the LIRR only goes to Penn Station and does not offer free transfers to buses and Subways once in Manhattan and one has to pay for parking at some of the LIRR stations in our area in addition to an LIRR ticket.

Residents of neighborhoods in the 19th Council District such as College Point want direct express bus service. When I tried to explain to him that his stance towards transit in the district is not necessarily the best one for this district, Shafran immediately excused himself from the conversation that I was having with him.

Other candidates have been very supportive to the needs of our community and our express bus riders. One of the issues with our express bus service that I have championed in the district is to get a Lower Manhattan express bus from Bayside, Whitestone, and North Flushing and [Paul] Vallone has supported me on that issue from the very be-

ginning and is very receptive to the needs of the community and the needs of this district’s express bus riders and unlike Shafran, does not seem to be someone who would shaft his constituents as I have had his support on that issue before he declared his run for the City Council as a civic leader. Overall, I think that Vallone would be the best person to win the Democratic primary for the 19th Council District because unlike candidates such as Shafran who feels that it is unnecessary to care about the community, Vallone is a civic leader who is in touch with our community and the needs of the community and would do his best to support the needs of our community and I feel that the Democratic Organization of Queens County made the right choice to endorse Vallone instead of Shafran for the 19th City Council District Democratic Primary.

To The Editor:

H

ere are three good reasons to vote for Christine Quinn in the September Primary: Of all the candidates on the ballot, none is as familiar with the City as she.

With fewer hours available at our library branches, Ms. Quinn will be a champion to extend hours and restore Saturdays, as so many people depend upon the Internet to find jobs to match their qualifications and get information needed to locate affordable housing and important services.

It is high time that we had a qualified woman in City Hall to address the unique problems pertaining to women, from the marketplace to child and elder care, from self defense to needed technical knowledge.

If women were to vote as a block at the polls in the primary and in the general election, we’d gain the voice so urgently needed to address serious problems in our City with an expert negotiator. Her tenacity,

her strengths and her empathy are priceless assets in running a city as diverse and as complex as ours. I urge everyone to hear her out and read her memoir, “WITH PATIENCE AND FORTITUDE.” I look forward to hearing debates among ALL of the candidates who feel that they are up to the awesome job of Mayor. I want to compare their ideas and plans. (Debates on all levels of government are useful and expose a politician’s truths.)

Ms. Quinn likes to fix things that are wrong. What a wonderful role model for young girls to strive for success in a broad range of careers and volunteer opportunities. Not just women and girls will benefit from her expertise. Men will benefit by seeing financial burdens ease with equal pay for women. Ms. Quinn will be the Mayor for everyone in all boroughs, and backgrounds. She has the “chops.” She will listen to YOU, so return the favor: listen to HER. B K Brumberg Howard Beach

Going Smoke-Free In LIC To The Editor:

L

ast week, the Related Companies pledged that all of their 40,000 housing units across many states will be smoke-free. Related Companies has been chosen as a developer for housing units at the Hunter’s Point South Development in Long Island City. This is an exciting opportunity for Queens residents who prefer to live in smoke-free buildings as affordable smoke-free apartments will be available to them.

Not only do smoke-free buildings provide health benefits for residents by eliminating secondhand smoke exposure, they also offer safety and financial benefits. Smoking is the leading cause of fire-related Alan Goldsher Director of Marketing Maureen Coppola Advertising Administrator

deaths. In 2005, over a quarter of fire deaths in multi- family buildings were caused by smoking. Smoke-free buildings are also easier and cheaper to renovate and maintain because you save money on costly cleaning and physical damage repairs caused by secondhand smoke and cigar/cigarette burns.

We applaud this new smokefree housing opportunity for Queens residents and hope it encourages other landlords, cooperatives and condominiums to go smoke-free.

O’Neill’s Bar And Restaurant Set To Reopen In July

By Luis Gronda Staff Writer After more than two years of being closed, a popular Maspeth watering hole is close to opening its doors once again.

O’Neill’s Bar and Restaurant, located at 64-21 53rd Drive, is approaching its grand reopening after a five-alarm fire forced the establishment to pick up the pieces and start from scratch.

Although George O’Neill, the restaurant’s owner, has not set a specific date for the reopening, they plan on reopening sometime in July.

He said that many of the bar’s regulars have constantly asked him when their favorite hang-out spot is going to be open once again. This is dating back to weeks after it closed because of the fire.

“Every day, they ask me when I’m opening. There’s no end to it,” O’Neill said.

Although they have set a few different opening dates earlier this year, George has had to postpone the restaurant’s return so he is holding off on setting another date until he knows for sure.

He said he is still waiting to get approval of some permits from the City Buildings Dept. that includes a permit for a sprinkler system to be installed throughout the restaurant.

Among the amenities that O’Neill’s will offer includes 75 60-inch televisions plastered throughout the establishment, a banquet room that can fit 225 to 250 people, a circular bar that can accommodate 75 customers and two private dining rooms for private parties.

Although all of what used to be O’Neill’s is long gone, there is one remaining relic that will give customers a small reminder of the restaurant’s previous carnation: a monument honoring the victims of 9/11 stands a few feet outside of the business. O’Neill said that this is the possession that survived the fire.

One thing that O’Neill’s was known for was the many celebrities that visited the restaurant.

New Bath Salt Legislation

Getting Tough On Sexual Abuse

State Sen. Michael Gianaris’ (D-Astoria) bill to strengthen laws regarding persistent sexual abuse passed the State Senate by a vote of 59-0 earlier this month. Senate Bill S.612 will amend existing law to exclude any time spent

These drugs can stimulate both the nervous system and the cardiac system and can cause heart attacks, seizures, permanent brain damage and severe hallucinations. Reports have shown that an individual’s behavior on bath salts can sometimes lead to suicide or the harm of others. In 2011, the State enacted a law proposed by Assemblyman Braunstein and Senator Joseph

Griffo (R-C-IP-Rome), that banned the sale or distribution of any product containing Mephedrone and MDPV, which were being marketed at the time for recreational use as bath salts, and classified these stimulants as controlled substances.

“We have seen too many examples and heard too many stories all over our state and around the country about these dangerous, unpredictable drugs that have devastating effects,” Assemblyman Braunstein said. “Since we passed the ban in 2011, we have seen an explosion of bath salts made from new compounds created by drug dealers to avoid the current law. These drugs are causing serious law enforcement, health, and mental health problems for communities and families across New York State. This legislation makes significant strides toward permanently getting bath salts off the streets of our communities.”

Post-Sandy Recommendations

On June 20, the City Council’s Public Safety Committee – chaired

by Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (DAstoria) – held a hearing to review the City’s Hurricane Sandy After Action Report and Recommendations, as well as discuss 10 storm-related bills.

The legislation discussed at the

hearing would create fuel, traffic and shelter management plans for emergency situations, develop and implement a food and water access plan, create a community recovery plan, improve the methods by which homebound residents and people with special medical needs are tracked, rescued and evacuated, aid small businesses in recovering from future storms and require the Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management to review plans for responding to emergency conditions and potential incidents and report to the City Council.

Vallone recently visited the Rockaways and walked along the beach with residents for hours. He was outraged by the lack of measures taken to protect the community from future storms – despite the fact that the City is installing 35 lifeguard stations, which reportedly cost $4 million each.

“You spend $4 million per lifeguard station, but you leave thousands of lives unguarded for the next storm – seems to me the City’s priorities are a little out of whack,” Vallone. “We better hope these stations turn into giant lifeboats, because they will be a floating waste of taxpayer money if another major storm hits soon.”

Cas Holloway, Deputy Mayor of Operations, and Linda Gibbs, Deputy Mayor of Health and Human Services, testified at the hearing.

QUeeNS tHIS week Forest Park Carousel Made A Landmark

The Forest Park Carousel is officially a New York City Landmark.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate the Woodhaven merry-go-round as a landmark at a public hearing on Tuesday morning.

This comes after many residents and community leaders have called for the carousel to be named a landmark for years. Before it was taken over by New York Carousel last year, many called for the designation because of fear that it would be moved to another location.

Maria Thomson, the executive director of the Woodhaven Business Improvement District and Community Board 9 member, was elated about the news of its landmarking. She has been among the most vocal in calling for the merry-go-round to be landmarked.

“After so many years of hard work, it has finally come to fruition,” she said. “We can rest easy now because it will be here forever.”

Both the Woodhaven Residents Block Association and Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) sent out press releases expressing their happiness for the land marking.

“Even when I was a young boy, I knew the carousel was special. I’m elated that the Landmarks Preservation Commission agrees,” said Alexander Blenkinsopp, the WRBA’s communications director in a statement. “The Landmarks Law is meant to safeguard our city’s irreplaceable treasures. In this case, the law worked exactly as it should. The carousel is here to stay, and we couldn’t be happier.”

“Designating the Forest Park Carousel is a tremendous win for our community that once feared it may never spin again. Preserving our history strengthens our neighborhoods, and [this] decision by the LPC ensures this historic carousel, carved more than 100 years ago, will remain a beloved attraction in Forest Park for fu-

the Forest Park Carousel was named a City landmark this week.

ture generations,” Crowley said in her statement.

Ami Abramson, the operator of the carousel, said that he too is happy about the carousel’s landmarking and he does not believe it will affect any future projects that they build around the structure.

“My understanding is that it would not be a roadblock,” he said.

Abramson added that many ideas have been thrown around about what attractions to add to the merry-goround but nothing concrete has been decided yet.

“We’ve always been planning around the centerpiece,” Abramson said.

Alley Pond Center Starts Summer Season

As the summer season starts, Alley Pond Environmental Center is kicking off several programs to entertain and educate attendees over the next few months.

APEC, a nonprofit environmental education organization, is dedicated to teaching both kids and adults on nature. While the summer holds many programs dedicated to children, adults will have a chance to enjoy the center’s facilities as well.

For toddlers between the ages of 24 to 35 months, there is toddler time, a program that gives these youngsters a chance to create nature crafts, read stories, take short nature walks and pet the center’s animals. Once they get to 3 or 4 years old, the summer fledglings class is the next step, containing more advanced versions of the same classes for toddlers.

Once the kids are old enough for school, specifically kindergarten or first grade, they can enroll in summer nature kids. This program has participants use all five senses to explore their environment with games, crafts, walks and learning activities. Children entering the second or third grade can become APEC explorers and wander through woodlands, wetlands, meadows, and pond habitats. Insect repellent is a must for this class. The fourth and fifth grade visitors can become Alley Pond Pioneers. This course features beach clean ups, walking tours of Oakland Lake, hiking on Joe Michael’s Mile, catch and release fishing and more.

While there are a ton of programs for children, the center is not leaving adults out of the loop.

Every other Monday, APEC’s knitting circle will meet, giving crafters a chance work on and show off a new project in a comfortable, friendly setting. This club is made for adults who

already know how to knit and is not a class. The group will meet between 6 and 8 p.m. on July 1, 15 and 29, Aug. 12 and 26 and Sept. 9 and 23. There is a small fee per meeting.

On July 20, Aug. 17 and Sept. 21 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., APEC’s Star Safari will put on an astronomy adventure for both adults and children ages 9 and up. Astronomer Mark Freilich will teach attendees about how to be a proper stargazer, viewing the features of the moon, the summer Milky Way the Red Giant Antares in the constellation Scorpio, the double star Albeiro, the summer triangle and the stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. In September, the views will change to feature Saturn, the Plietes Star Cluster and the Orion Nebula. Each session costs $10 per adult member, $16 for non-members and $7 for children between the ages of 9 and 12.

Towards the end of July, the Scientifically Speaking program will engage people with an afternoon of indoor science, some experiments and maybe even a nature hike, weather permitting. Running between 1 and 3 p.m., the July 27 course will be on fruit and flower dissection. The workshop costs $18 for members and $24 for nonmembers.

For more information on all these events, call (718) 229-4000 or visit www.alleypond.com.

Brownfield Legislation Passes

A piece of legislation regarding the notification process behind brownfield site cleanups passed both the Assembly and the Senate this week, making its way towards Governor Andrew

Cuomo’s desk to be signed into law.

The bill and soon-to-be law would require the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation to notify community boards in the City of any new brownfield site cleanups. A brownfield site is a piece of property whose redevelopment or reuse is made difficult by the existence or possible existence of contaminants on the site.

Such contaminants include hazardous waste or petroleum.

The bill was sponsored by Assemblyman Edward Braunstein (D-Bayside) and State Sen. Tony Avella (DBayside).

Currently, DEC regulations require a period of public comment for a brownfield cleanup request and nearby homeowners, schools and local newspapers must be informed. By letting community boards know as well, it will give them a chance to tell those who attend their meetings about upcoming brownfield public hearings.

The boards would also be able to supply input for the proposed cleanups themselves.

“Providing board members with information about brownfield sites will ensure that the community has eyes and ears on the ground to make certain that all remediation is done appropriately,” Braunstein said.

“Often times these brownfield cleanup projects, when finished, lead to large developments that also impact the quality of life for residents,” Avella said. “Community boards play an important role in these land use decisions and therefore it is critical that they are also notified of any new brownfield site cleanups.”

The legislation will go into effect 120 days after it is signed into law.

City Pushing To ‘Vote Wright Now’

By Luis Gronda Staff Writer This year’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field and there is a push by the New York Mets and other New York personalities to get David Wright named as the starting third baseman.

Since voting for the mid-summer classic opened last month, the team has routinely encouraged fans attending games to vote for all Mets players on the ballot including Wright. On the team’s video scoreboard, fans are reminded to use the paper ballots at the stadium to vote for their favorite Mets. They also can vote at MLB’s official website, MLB. com.

Because the starters for the AllStar Game, which determines the league that gets home-field advantage in the World Series, are voted on by the fans, every team usually encourages people to stuff the ballots with votes for their respective players in hopes of being named one of the starters.

Although that is often a source of controversy among baseball experts and fans alike, because some say the ballot stuffing leads to less deserving players starting the game, this is not the case here as many agree there is

one of two players that should represent the National League at third base.

Along with Wright, San Francisco Giants Third Baseman Pablo Sandoval is also having a season worthy of starting the All-Star Game so far.

According to their latest stats as of June 26, Wright has a .309 batting average with 12 home runs, 41 runs batted in and 14 stolen bases in 73 games played. Sandoval, in 59 games played, has a .288 batting average with eight home runs, 37 RBIs and 26 runs scored.

Their 2013 seasons were relatively close until a foot injury landed Sandoval on the disabled list, causing him to miss 14 games. Sandoval’s down time, along with Wright’s scorching hot month of June, has allowed the Mets star player to create some separation stats wise.

Despite Wright’s overall better season so far, it was Sandoval that led in the third base voting for the majority of the time voting has been open, with a leading as much as about 200,000 votes after the first two rounds of ballot numbers released by MLB. But as of the latest poll numbers released earlier this week, Wright has overtaken Sandoval and now leads the Giants slugger by more than

david Wright

128,000 votes. According to MLB, Wright has 2,917,819 votes and Sandoval has 2,788,988.

The Mets star player has taken the lead in voting thanks to a vocal campaign calling for him to be named as a starter.

One in particular came from WFAN, a sports talk radio station that is currently based in Manhattan but used to have its headquarters in Astoria.

Their morning show, Boomer and Carton In The Morning, launched their own campaign to get more votes for Wright. The duo constantly petitioned their callers to vote for the Mets star player and used a slogan “VoteWrightNow.” Last week, the show gathered several boxes of official MLB All-Star ballots in their Manhattan office and invited a bunch of the show’s fans, mostly women, to punch in ballots solely for Wright. The initiative, jokingly named the “All-Star Sweatshop” put the fans in a room and they punched the ballots during their 4-hour radio program. At the end of the show, they announced that the group successfully punched 70,000 votes for Wright.

The paper balloting for the game ended earlier this week, but you can still vote online at mlb.com. You can vote up to 25 times on their website and you can vote 10 more times if you link your ballot registration with an mlb.com account.

The All-Star Game Brings All-Star Fun

By Joe Marvilli While the focus of Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game will undoubtedly be the American and National League duel on July 16, there are plenty of events surrounding the big day that will provide fun for all New Yorkers.

During the four days leading up to the All-Star Game, the league will host festive activities to satisfy both baseball fanatics and newbies. It will begin with the All-Star FanFest, running July 12 to July 16. A 5K fun-run for Sandy Relief will take place on July 13. The next day, July 14, will feature the first Citi Field events, with the All-Star Futures Game and Legends/Celebrity Game happening back to back. Finally, July 15 will lead into All-Star day with the Home Run Derby.

For those of you who absolutely live and breathe baseball, the T-Mobile All-Star FanFest is the place to go. Taking place at the Javits Center in Manhattan, this convention will let you experience what baseball is like from nearly every perspective, whether it is as a player, a historian, a broadcaster or just a season ticket holder. Collectors of baseball memorabilia will also find a bevy of hidden treasures throughout the center.

A collection of trophies and awards will be available to view as well as National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and Hometown Heroes exhibits. If that does not get you close enough to baseball’s past stars, the All-Star Clubhouse will feature Q&A sessions with baseball legends and hallof-famers. If you would rather focus on your own abilities, there are several activities to test your skills. Can you hit a homer, field grounders, steal a base or strike someone out like the pros? The FanFest is your chance to try.

By the time the All-Star Game arrives, it will have been nearly 10 months since Superstorm Sandy hit New York City. With the recovery process underway and thousands of people struggling to put their lives back together, MLB has partnered with New York Road Runners to jog for Sandy Relief. Brooklyn’s Prospect Park will host the All-Star 5K & Fun Run, benefiting Sandy Relief, presented by Nike on July 13. Mascots, celebrities and baseball greats will be on hand to add to the experience.

The MLB will donate 100 percent of the race’s net proceeds to Sandy Relief.

Once July 14 arrives, the action

The SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game will give attendees the chance to see tomorrow’s stars today with a matchup between the United States and World teams. Last year, the U.S. beat the World team with a lopsided score of 17-5. Only time will tell if the World team can step it up with this year’s crop of young players.

The same day, the Taco Bell AllStar Legends and Celebrity Softball Game will bring together a few of the best players of yesteryear with some recognizable faces of today. Although there is not any information available yet on the celebrity players, New York sports fans will be happy

with some of the older athletes. John Franco, Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry and Bernie Williams will all take part in the game.

LEISURE

Mumford & Sons Coming To Queens

By Luis Gronda Staff Writer

A Forest Hills monument that has been dormant and dilapidated for more than three decades is now set to become a music venue once again.

The Forest Hills Tennis Stadium will host a series of concerts over the next four years, with one this summer and six in the next three years. English folk rock band, Mumford & Sons, will be the first to play at the aging facility on Aug. 28.

The stadium’s operator, the West Side Tennis Club, agreed to a deal with a concert promoter to put on the one show for this summer and the concerts in the following three years.

Because of the poor condition the facility is currently in, the stadium will need a quick fix in order to be ready for the show in two months.

According to Bob Ingersole, the Club’s Tennis Director and Facilities Manager, there will be a $1 million renovation to the stadium, which will give it a quick fix before the August concert. That renovation, Ingersole said, will include putting in new seating, power washing the entire stadium, installing a new ceiling on top of the facility and building brand-new

bathrooms. He added that further upgrades to the stadium are planned for the future after this summer’s show. Construction at the facility is expected to begin this week, according to Ingersole.

As for the traffic and noise that the concert will bring to Forest Hills, Ingersole said that these issues are being addressed as well by the Tennis Club.

For traffic, he said that the Burns Street entrance will be used as the main entrance to the stadium in order to avoid using the other entrance closer to residential homes at Forest Hills Gardens. Ingersole added that Burns Street will have pedestrian only traffic while the concert is ongoing and they will encourage people to use public transportation instead of driving to Forest Hills.

Regarding the noise, Ingersole said that the shows at the stadium will not go long into the night, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and the show ending at approximately 10 p.m.

Frank Gulluscio, District Manager of Community Board 6, said that they have been meeting with representatives from the Tennis Club the past couple of months regarding bringing the concerts back to the tennis stadium, which included a walk-through of the facility

Queens Author Writes WWII Book

By Luis Gronda

Staff Writer

A Forest Hills author is telling her life story about how it was like to live in Europe during World War II and in the years following.

Katherine Griesz, a Forest Hills resident since 1972, wrote a book titled “From the Danube to the Hudson” chronicling her experience of living in Hungarian ghettos controlled by Nazi Germany during the 1940s. The book also talks about her life in Hungary under Soviet control.

Griesz said, while writing the book, it was difficult for her to relive that period in her life because of how terribly the Nazis treated her, her relatives and many other Hungarian Jews forced to stay in those ghettos.

At one point in the book, she tells the story of how she believed she would die soon after the Germans took over but a struck of luck saved her life.

She said that there were two forks in the road where they marched, one

led to the Danube River, where the German soldiers forced residents to take off their shoes and drown to death in the water. Another path led to the ghetto set up by the Nazis.

Griesz thought for sure that she would be walked to the river until she realized that they were leading her and her family members to the ghettos while others went to the river.

“It was luck that saved our lives,” Griesz said.

Mumford & Sons, pictured above, will be the first band to play at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in decades. The concert takes place on Aug. 28.

about two weeks ago.

“The lines of communication have been open. They are looking to work with the community,” Gulluscio said.

He added that there are still logistics that need to be worked out involving the event at the stadium, including how the parking will be organized.

Ingersole said that there will be off-site parking for the concerts and people who decide to drive there will

be bused to the stadium. It is not yet known where exactly the lot will be located, he said.

Tickets for the show will cost $70 dollars and you can register for a chance to buy tickets at invitation. mumfordandsons.com.

Farmers Market Starts at Garden

and the partnership has been ongoing since then.

The produce available for purchase will not remain the same throughout the year. As the months go by, different fruits, vegetables, herbs and other greens will be in season.

Two farmers are selling at the market this year. They are Alex’s Tomato Farm from Sprakers, NY and Migliorelli Farm, based in Tivoli, NY. “QBG is delighted to host Down to Earth’s Farmers Market every Friday during the growing season,” Hector said.

If you love your fruits and vegetables, then you will likely find much to love at Queens Botanical Garden on Fridays for the next several months.

Every Friday between June 21 and Nov. 22, Queens Botanical Garden will hold its Farmers Market from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. During these Fridays, residents and visitors can end their work week by purchasing fresh, local, seasonal produce, grown and sold by New York State farmers. The market will be set up outside the Garden fence Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, on Dahlia Avenue, directly off Main Ext. 125, or at jmarvilli@queenstribune.

Q

He's Not A Big Fan U.S. Rep. Steve Israel lashed out against a TV show that he says promotes antiSemitic stereotypes.

The Congressman’s office sent out a letter to the editor criticizing the new reality TV show "Princesses: Long Island."

Israel said in the letter that the characters of the show are “disgraceful, misleading, and fuel antiSemitic stereotypes.”

He a ls o r ai l e d against the show's portrayal of the dating habits of Jewish women, mentioning a recent episode that included women getting together for a Shabbat dinner.

“As a Jew, I can say with confidence that this dinner was exactly the opposite of what the sacred Sabbath dinner is supposed to be. But for those watching unfamiliar with the holy meaning of the Jewish Sabbath, it is shown in the worst way possible, with

excessive drinking and fighting,” Israel writes in the letter.

He goes on to say that he will not be including the show as a part of his daily TV schedule.

“I, for one, will not be spending my Sunday night watching Princesses: Long Island.

Viewers should know that the show portrays the lives of the characters and is in no way representative of a religion, culture or geographic area. I hope that others will join me in deciding that this show is not the type of TV we should be supporting,” he said.

After Israel's recent letter, maybe we can soon get some legislation getting rid of some of the more idiotic programming on these cable channels...

Was It Any Different?

Those who had to make a trip on June 19 to the most dreaded of all New York institutions, the Department of Motor Vehicles, arrived to find even more frustration than usual.

It turns out that the DMV’s computer system that lets employees access driver information was down State-wide for the day.

Since nothing was able to be searched or looked up, most

attempts to get business done at the department’s branches in College Point, Jamaica or Springfield Gardens would have ended in failure, once you got past the mind-numbing boredom already associated with the trip.

But on the bright side, getting to the DMV and finding out that the system is down may result in a new speed record getting in and out of the notoriously slow agency.

That'll Show 'Em! One Howard Beach grandma showed two thugs who’s boss earlier this month.

According to reports, two would-be home invaders, disguised as Fed Ex workers, tried to push their way into the house of Margaret Mazzio, 75, around 1:30 p.m. on June 10 but wound up fleeing the scene when the elderly Queens woman beat them back with her house phone.

One of the perps “started coming inside the house, and my mother-in-law laid into him with her house phone. She swung and hit him right in the head,’’ daughter-in-law Robyn Mazzio reportedly said.

The intruders have not been arrested.

Language!

Mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner found himself in a sticky situation while campaigning in Forest Hills.

As he was busy speaking to community members and asking them to sign his petition, an elderly woman said she would not vote for City Council Speaker and mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn. She couldn’t remember her name, so referred to her as the “dyke.”

Weiner seemed to only be concerned about getting a signature from her for his petition to get on the September primary ballot, but managed to quickly slide in a rebuttal to the elderly woman.

We here at QConf, wonder if Weiner would have said something to the elderly woman if a reporter from a large national publication had not been standing there. Weiner responded to the elderly woman’s slur by saying she should not say such things about people.

Got Talent?

Artists, models, musicians and performers of all types should email editor@ queenstribune.com.

Self-taught, Flushingbased artist Luis Tavales is slowly moving up in the art world and only dreams of climbing higher. His interest in drawing and painting goes back to his childhood watching cartoons and reading Marvel comics.

“When you’re a kid, everything fascinates you. I could never go past an open space and not doodle," he said.

"I developed such a great appreciation for drawing by hand that I decided to pick it up.”

2008 was a big year for Tavales; his painting began to appear in different exhibits around Manhattan.

“Postcards from the Edge” at the Chaim & Read and the Sikkema Jenkins & Co. galleries, the GMHC exhibits at the Leslie-Lohman Museum, the NOHO NY Art Walk and the La Pregunta Arts Café exhibits are just locations where his work has been featured.

“I’ve been in 14 exhibits total. I hope in the future that I can get my name out there and have my artwork more

widely recognized.”

Art acts as a therapeutic outlet for Tavales, who regards the universe as his muse.

“I draw my inspiration from a lot of different avenues. I paint what I remember from dreams, casual conversations, and even small things like a flower that may be growing by some garbage.

My mind drinks it in and I paint. Sometimes, I may go to the canvas with the intention of painting something and something in the canvas will reveal itself to me.”

Tavales has also been the recipient of a Wheeler Foundation and a Visual Aids award and hopes to continue on this path of creativity for years to come.

“Coming up, I’m having my work once again being used in the NoHo walk and the GMHC exhibits at the LeslieLohman Museum. Events like this always fill up fast, but it’s exciting. I’ve always been a bit of a wallflower, but my art and having them in these exhibits are helping me to break out of my shell.”
