These Professional Politicians Weakened Queens And Our City

Daniel Halloran

Julissa Ferreras

“The City Council has made our city less safe by putting handcuffs on the police, rather than the criminals. This type of legislation brings us a step closer to becoming Chicago and Detroit.”

“The professional politicians in the City Council should be ashamed of themselves.

They must be held responsible for the criminal acts that will take place due to this looney legislation.”

Republicans Bash Community Safety Act

BY NATALIA KOZIKOWSKA Staff Writer Even heavy rainfall could not stop Republicans from joining together at the steps of Queens Borough Hall in opposition to the Community Safety Act – a set of bills that would oversee the New York Police Department.

The first bill, Intro 1079, created an independent inspector general position to oversee the NYPD. The second bill, Intro 1080, allows racial profiling lawsuits against the police department.

Although both bills passed with wide enough majorities to avoid a mayoral veto, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has vowed to persuade councilmembers to change their vote in order to veto the bills. The bills would go into effect Jan. 1, 2014.

Wednesday’s protest, organized by Scherie Murray, a candidate for the 31st District Council seat, was held less than one week after her potential future rival and incumbent, Councilman Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton), held his press conference praising the bills he believes would curb racial profiling associated with the controversial Stop, Question and Frisk Policy.

“Both bills are no good for New York or its residents,” Murray said.

“The bottom line is the NYPD has

enough oversight…. Let’s stop this insanity. Let’s support our local police officers and keep our streets safe.”

Murray also argued the City budget would be negatively impacted by the bills.

“Both bills will have a negative impact on expenditures costing upwards of $3.5 million in 2015,” she said.

“Eventually, the New York City taxpayers will be footing the bill.”

John Burnett, a new Republican

candidate in the race for New York City Comptroller, echoed similar sentiments.

“Being a Black person, a Black male in New York City, I definitely understand the need to protect civil liberties. I think we need to work with the police department and not actually create extra layers of bureaucracy,” he said. “Being born in Brooklyn, being raised in Queens Village and currently residing in Harlem, I think it’s

extremely important to keep communities safe.”

“I think it’s important we focus on the benefits of Stop and Frisk but at the same time protect the civil liberties of those who feel they were stopped inappropriately,” he added.

Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), a vocal proponent of the Stop and Frisk policy, argued the legislation would tie the hand of police officers and consequently, increase crime.

“These bills are downright dangerous. They’re going to put the safety and well-being of New Yorkers in jeopardy,” he said. “The result will be rising crime and increased hostility between police and the communities they serve.”

Ulrich even accused Democrats who vocally oppose the bill of doing so for votes in the upcoming election season.

“A bunch of politicians are pandering in an election year – and that’s what they are doing, passing laws that could make it more difficult for them [police officers] to do their jobs,” he said. “And in fact, we’re policing the police and trying to tie the hands of police to make it more difficult for them to keep our streets safe.”

Beep Candidates Debate In Jackson Heights

BY LuIS GrONdA Staff Writer Tensions ran high during a Queens Borough President forum in Jackson Heights Monday night, as one candidate accused another of receiving answers via cell phone.

State Senator Tony Avella (DBayside) said that Councilman Peter Vallone (D-Astoria) was getting answers sent to him from a group of supporters who petitioned for the Councilman outside of the Community Methodist Church, where the debate was held.

“Don’t look around the room, I see you doing it,” Avella said.

Vallone vehemently denied his accusation, saying that they are only a group of college volunteers. Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) supported Vallone saying that he was looking at his Twitter feed on his phone. They continued the argument after the next question was asked.

“Let me wait for an answer to come through on my phone,” Vallone said sarcastically. “Please send me a text to answer that because there’s no way I would possibly know.”

Avella said that he was not being fair to the other candidates.

Monday night’s debate was aimed

at discussing environmental and sustainability issues the Borough may face in the future.

It was co-hosted by the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund and the Jackson Heights Beautification Group. It featured the majority of the candidates vying to replace Helen Marshall: Melinda Katz, Vallone, Avella, Comrie and the Republican candidate Tony Arcabascio.

Everly Brown was also invited but did not attend.

Three of the candidates, Avella, Arcabascio and Vallone, gave brief opening statements about why they are running for Borough President.

Arcabascio, who has been a technology professional for the past 32 years, said that he brings a different perspective to the race because he has been a businessman and has never held elected office. Avella said one reason he is running for QBP is how shocked he was at the response Queens got in the days following Superstorm Sandy and he wants to make sure Queens gets its fair share of resources.

Vallone touted the various environment-related work he has done while in the City Council, including writing the plastic bag recycling act and writing a bill banning trans fat in New York City. Katz and Comrie did not give

opening statements as they arrived late to the debate.

Following their statements, each of the candidates answered questions, first from a representative from each of the debate’s hosts, then the audience who lined up to ask questions addressed to a specific candidate.

When asked about what can be done to make Queens Boulevard saf-

er, Katz said that she would support a federal study to figure out how to make the boulevard safer and easier to access. She also said that she would have concerns about installing bike lanes on that thoroughfare because of how dangerous it is.

Disgraced Ex-Gov. Spitzer Runs For Comptroller

BY NATALIA KOZIKOWSKA Staff Writer It is déjà vu for New Yorkers as yet another disgraced politician is looking to make a comeback in City politics.

This time, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who resigned in 2008 amid a prostitution scandal, announced that he is running for City Comptroller.

Spitzer joins mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, whose career as a congressman was cut short after he accidentally posted sexually suggestive photos of himself to his Twitter, as the second pol seeking redemption from New York voters.

In an ironic twist, Spitzer could end up running against Libertarian Kristin Davis, the ex-madam who reportedly supplied him with the call girls.

Before his announcement, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer had been the Democratic frontrunner in the race to replace John Liu. Republican John Burnett, a Wall Street exec, threw his hat in the race for City Comptroller last week.

The deadline for filing a petition to be on the Sept. 10 primary ballot is on July 11. Spitzer must collect 3,750 signatures to be considered.

Bengalis File Suit Against Elections Board

“Monitoring of past elections has enous people of West Bengal in India shown that the level of assistance that and Bangladesh.

was provided has been deficient,” said Glenn D. Magpantay, AALDEF’s director of the Democracy Program.

“The Board has made many promises before. Now we want assurances. ” Jerry Vattamala, staff attorney for AALDEF, said, “The community falls below the national average in literacy rates and does not speak English well, so they must be provided with additional material at polling sites.”

“The Board has a formal, written plan in place with translated ballots, an advisory group and interpreters for Chinese and Korean voters present at polling sites, so now we want the same for Bengali-speaking voters,” Vattamala said.

Even though the BOE set an interim plan for the 2012 Presidential primaries with interpreters and a list of the candidates translated in Bengali at polling sites across Queens, Seema Agnani, executive director of Chhaya CDC, also one of the plaintiffs, said “the translated literature was hidden in a dusty box in the corner of the room and only a few interpreters were present at the site.”

“The Board’s bureaucratic foot dragging has prevented many Bengali-speaking Americans with limited English proficiency from being able to fully exercise their right to vote,” said Agnani. “In New York City – as high

as 60% of Bengali speaking residents have limited English proficiency.”

Valerie Vasquez, director of communications for the Board of Elections, said their intentions have always been to meet the obligations under the Voting Act. “We have previously told advocates that our vendor, who produces the ballots, wasn’t ready at the time because technical adjustments were being made to the software,” she said.

However, Vasquez said, the BOE will provide all translated material at polling sites, interpreters and an advisory group for the upcoming 2013 elections.

Mazeda Uddin, the national women’s coordinator of plaintiff Alliance for South Asian American Labor (ASAAL), has worked tirelessly since 2010 with authorities across the state to pave the way for the inclusion of translated ballots in Bengali.

“If they [Bangladeshis] fail to understand whom they should vote for, it will be impossible for them to cast their vote, said Uddin. “The simple solution to the problem is to print ballot papers in Bengali. The requirement for Bengali ballots should have come as no surprise to the Board.”

Councilmen Kick Off Barbershop Tour

By Steven J. Ferrari Staff Writer Hoping to bring attention to issues in Southeast Queens, three area City Councilmen kicked off a series of Barbershop Tours for Mayoral candidates over the weekend.

Comptroller John Liu, running for Mayor on the Democratic ticket, was the first invitee of the event, organized

by Councilmen Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton) and Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica).

Liu visited two barbershops on Merrick Boulevard in Jamaica – Mr. Rooney’s and Next Millennium Cuts – on July 6, taking the time to speak to customers and business owners about issues concerning the neighborhoods.

Tyrone Lewis, also known as “Tye the Barber,” owner of Next Millennium, questioned Liu about the frequent fines small businesses like his receive from the City for minor violations like improper signage.

Liu said he would prefer the City give small businesses a chance to correct any violations before levying any fines.

“These [small business owners] are working hard and they have Consumer Affairs harassing them about signs,” Liu said. “It’s not fair to them.”

A customer at Next Millennium

questioned the candidate on his views about the NYPD’s controversial “Stop and Frisk” policy.

“I am the only candidate adamantly against it,” Liu responded. “We’ve just got to get rid of it.”

The questioner, who wished to be identified only as Leon, said he would potentially vote for Liu after speakPhoto by Ira Cohen ing with him.

“He sounds good,” Leon Tyrone Lewis (right), owner of Next said. “I like what I’m hearing Millennium Cuts in Jamaica, discusses violations he has received over his price so far.”

get unique questions asked.

“We felt it was a better way to get the candidates to the people,” Wills said. “You don’t know what someone will say in a barbershop.”

Wills chided the majority of Mayoral candidates for ignoring Southeast Queens, with the exceptions of Liu and Council Speaker Christine Quinn.

He said Liu has been in the area frequently, even before he announced his candidacy for Mayor.

“Most of [the other candidates] are doing poorly,” Wills said in regards to Southeast Queens. “I don’t see anyone else out here.”

Liu said Southeast Queens was an important area and its residents all too often felt neglected by City government when it came to housing, schools and water fees.

“But they are never forgotten when it comes to tickets, violations and quality of life issues,” he said.

The candidate noted that problems plaguing Southeast Queens, including garbage on the street, transportation access issues and water infrastructure, needed to be addressed as a priority.

“Southeast Queens needs a much stronger voice and the ear of City Hall, beginning right at the top,” Liu said.

In Our OpInIOn

False Promises

The proposed Willets Point redevelopment project just seems to get worse for the people of Queens, and now with the recommendation for approval from the office of the Queens Borough President, the sideshow of slights of hand will likely continue to make any benefit to Queens residents disappear.

While many would likely enjoy a new retail and entertainment complex outside Citi Field, the City should be focusing on getting the more important piece of this development done: affordable housing.

As the population of Queens continues to grow, the lack of affordable housing throughout the Borough is a hindrance and a crime against those that cannot afford rising apartment costs in the City. When the Willets Point proposal was first announced in 2008, 1,900 affordable units were announced. Now, that number is down to 875, none of them being built until at least 2025. By that time, who knows how many more units will be cut out of the plan.

With each change to the project, and each recommendation for approval, City officials are endorsing a large-scale 3-Card Monte scheme at Willets Point. With each bait and switch on this project, we are told that the City cares more about money from developers than it does making a decision to better its citizens.

Why even bother giving a recommendation for a project that will not be completed potentially for decades, long after anyone who approved it has left office? The only way this project should be recommended for approval is if the affordable housing component is guaranteed and moved up to be made the main priority.

Without that, Queens will likely never see those housing units.

In YOur OpInIOn No Special Privilege for Catholic Businesses To The Editor:

I

’m responding to Frederick R. Bedell Jr.’s self-righteous whining in your July 4-10, 2013 Queens Tribune. As Mr. Bedell is undoubtedly a victim of the Catholic mis-education system, I’m typing slowly so he can understand should he read it.

The HHS mandate applies to Catholic-run health care, schools etc. because they are

BUSINESSES, not religious institutions. A church is just that, a church. The government does not tell them what to believe. However, when they step outside the arena of religion into that of business, those businesses are subject to the same rules and regulations any other businesses are subject to.

So let’s be clear about this.

What he wants them to have is a special privilege, one which allows them to ignore any law

they claim violates their religious beliefs just because they decided to start a business that has absolutely nothing to do with their church activities.

What we need is a law that automatically retroactively revokes a church’s tax exempt status anytime they complain about their non-religious businesses being subject to the same regulations as ones run by anyone else.

This Year’s Election A Circus To The Editor:

W

ith both former governor Eliot Spitzer and former Congressman Anthony Weiner running for their respective offices of City Comptroller

and Mayor, what is going to be next? Politicians need to be honest and up front with their constituents and neither one of these guys were. We do not need a circus atmosphere; we have had that for 12 years under Ringmaster Bloomberg and his

cast of clowns and buffoons. We are in trouble! The Wicked Witch of the West could do a better job of running this City! Fasten your seat belts, folks. We are in for a long and bumpy ride ahead!

C

ouncilmember Jimmy Van Bramer deserves enormous thanks for his work in the most recent city budget negotiations. As Executive Director of Sunnyside Community Services, I have seen his tireless devotion to safeguarding the programs his constituents rely on. He has helped our organization do more to serve Queens, protecting our afterschool programs and senior programs against proposed cuts, providing discretionary funding to enhance our services for people

of all ages and providing $2.6 million in capital funding for a renovation that will improve the quality of services we are able to provide for seniors. This is the fourth year in a row we have relied on Jimmy to fight to save our after-school program at P.S. 150 Q, and he has never disappointed the children and families who rely on this program. I am grateful to him and to other members of the Council who work to protect and strengthen human services.

Pipeline Problems for the U.S. To The Editor:

I

nteresting. Here in the U.S., we actually still have average citizens rooting for the Keystone XL [pipeline] carrying the Canadian filthy sand oil from Alberta to refineries in Texas, thinking it will in some mysterious way make our country oil independent and they themselves able to buy gas at a lower price. In fact, the Koch brothers and fellow tar sands investors are the only ones who will be benefit as well as the oil conglomerates who will sell that refined oil overseas.

The Canadians, it seems, are more realistic concerning the environmental dangers of piping their own tar sands within their own land. They have put a kibosh on their Northern Gateway pipeline, a pipeline to cross Canada to their own refineries. The reason is the potential environmental disasters from the

inevitable oil spills. They realize how damaging it would be to their country to have their own tar sands pipelined across their own land.

Is America’s land less precious than Canada’s? Are Americans more naive than the Canadians; more easily manipulated by the true benefactors of this impending horror? Are we going to wake up and follow the lead of Canada or remain duped and watch the contamination of our soil as well as the drinking water within it? Time will tell.

QUEENS thiS wEEk Approval For Eastern Queens Rezoning A change in Eastern Queens’ zoning was recently approved by the City Council, putting new maps in effect for future developments.

The City Council approved a Dept. of City Planning proposal to change the zoning map of 411 blocks in eastern Queens on June 24. The change affected more than 9,800 lots in neighborhoods including Bellerose, Floral Park, Glen Oaks and Bellaire.

Community Board 13, local civics and elected officials expressed concerns that the existing zoning did not reflect the established neighborhood character and was leading to denser new developments. The new zoning is meant to reinforce the low-density, suburban character found throughout the area’s residential streets. It ensures that future developments fit with existing building patterns and updates commercial overlay districts to prevent commercial infringement onto residential side streets.

The entire rezoning effort took about four years to complete. The DCP certified the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure application for the rezoning on Feb. 19. It was approved

by Community Board 13 on March 18.

The rezoning is bounded by the Grand Central Parkway to the north, the Queens/Long Island boundary to the east, Jericho Turnpike and 93rd Avenue to the south and by an uneven line along Springfield Boulevard, 221st, 229th and 231st Streets to the west.

Most of the area’s zoning had remained unchanged since 1961, when the previous zoning resolution was adapted.

New developments will be more predictable as the new zoning will create stronger height limits and require front yard depths that reflect neighboring yard depths.

R2 zones on 11 blocks in Bellaire changed to R1-2A, meaning that the district will only permit single-family, detached residences on lots that have a minimum area of 5,700-square-feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet.

R3A zones replaced R3-1, R3-2 and R4 areas on 38 blocks in Bellaire. This zoning permits one- and two-family detached residences on lots that have a minimum area of 2,375-square-feet and a minimum lot width of 25 feet.

R3-2 districts turned into R3X districts on 28 blocks in Glen Oaks. Oneand two-family detached residences on lots that have a minimum area of 3,325 square feet and a minimum lot width of 35 feet are allowed in the new zoning.

Forty blocks of Floral Park have been designated as R3-2 as well, changing from R2 and R3-1 zones.

Another six R3-2 blocks in Glen

Oaks have changed to R3-1, which permits one- and two-family detached or semi-detached residences with the minimum lot width and lot area reliant on the housing configuration.

Four blocks in Bellerose have switched from R4 to R4-1, meaning they allow one- and two-family detached or semi-detached residences.

Sunnyside Is On The Map

Three students studying fine arts at LaGuardia Community College have put Sunnyside on the map by spending months taking photos and sketching the neighborhood.

Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District teamed up with LaGCC and the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce to recognize the three finalists from the Sunnyside Map Project on July 2.

“We are looking forward to having such an exciting document to be able to distribute to visitors,” said Rachel Thieme, executive director of the Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District. “This map is a great reflection of our thriving local business community.”

The first place winner, Carmen Zhu, won the $1,000 prize; second place winner Adina Partoi won the $500 prize and the third place winner, Miho Nozawa, won $200.

Zhu, 24, a resident of Rego Park, said she will use the cash prize on her family and for her college tuition.

“I was not expecting to win because this is the first contest I have joined in the USA,” she said.

Zhu’s map, which focused on the greenery and parks of Sunnyside, is under the final stages of inspection by a graphic designer, who will make sure the streets and businesses are placed accurately. The final version of the map will be printed later this summer.

“I’m very happy to say that the design of this map is an accurate representation of the beauty, energy and warmth of the neighborhood,” said Swain Weiner, president of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce. “We’re proud of the collaboration behind this project and of this opportunity to showcase some of Sunnyside’s finest establishments.”

The colorful, winning map will contain a business directory and advertisements from local Sunnyside businesses, which will be distributed at nearby hotels in Long Island City, local real estate offices and community events.

Fourteen students entered the map contest in April, in which the students

(left to right) Swain weiner of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce, John Vogt of the Sunnyside Shines BiD and Carmen Zhu, winner of the Sunnyside Map Contest. were first asked to sketch a map of Sunnyside. Three finalists were chosen by a selection committee in May, who asked the finalists to submit a complete map that would familiarize visitors to Sunnyside and highlight the neighborhood’s many attractions, like the Sunnyside’s iconic arch, Torsney Playground, Joe Sabba Park and the elevated 7 train tracks.

“It is exciting to give our students the opportunity to get real world experience in creating art, for both the community and commercial enterprises, in a healthy competitive atmosphere,” said Hugo Fernandez, assistant professor of visual arts and photography at LaGCC.

Beacon,Ft.TottenPool Budgets Restored

Queens residents can breathe a sigh of relief as both the Beacon program at MS 158 and the Fort Totten pool were saved by the City Council after they were nearly derailed by budget cuts.

The approved budget for the 2014 Fiscal Year was announced on June 23 and restored funding for both the afterschool program at MS 158 and the pool at Fort Totten, which were originally going to be left on the cutting room floor.

When it came to the Beacon program, the City Council maintained funding for all 66 branches throughout the City. Seven were threatened with closure, including MS 158’s, which is the only Beacon program in Bayside.

Beacons are school-based community centers that offer children tutoring, high school/college prep, exercise and extracurricular activities. More than 100 students take part in the program each day at MS 158. Last year, the City Council restored that school

program’s $346,000 funding on June 25.

“I’m relieved. I’m very, very happy.

I think it’s shameful that we have to go through this exercise every year,” Community Board 11 chair Jerry Iannece said. “Our elected officials need to step up and stop this nonsense. This is something our community desperately need.”

“The City Council has once again saved the Beacon program at MS 158Q, an after school program that helps working parents by providing a place where students are safe and can engage in learning opportunities after the school day ends,” Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens) said in a statement.

Fort Totten Pool, located in Fort Totten Park at 338 Story Ave., was one of four such locales that would have been forced to close if the Parks Department did not have $1.5 million restored to its budget. Fortunately, the City Council restored funding for all the pools to stay open for its full season from June 28 to Labor Day, Sept.

3.

This restoration follows a similar budget negotiation the Council conducted last year to keep all the City pools open and operating.

“During these hot summer days, the Fort Totten pool is always full of children and families enjoying the weather,” State Sen. Tony Avella said.

“It would have been a real shame if it had to close for the summer.”

“Everybody is pleased that that happened. If that pool had not opened, the only other option would have been membership in private pools,” Warren Schreiber, President of the Bay Terrace Community Alliance, added.

“It’s widely used. They have special programs there. It’s an important community facility.”

Accelerated Aging Process?

When it comes to health, many people are aware of the major do’s and don’ts of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet. However, people often focus on their cholesterol, blood pressure, and body mass index, and overlook another key medical marker: Advanced Glycation Endproducts. AGEs are harmful compounds in the body that accelerate the aging process and are linked to many of the top health concerns people face today.

Seventy-six percent of Americans know that eating and preparing processed food can accelerate aging, according to the survey. Thirty-two percent cited the manner in which they prepare food as having an impact on aging, while just 11 percent indicated

cooking food at high temperatures affected aging.

As temperatures warm up and outdoor cooking season begins, people will be heating up the grill with limited awareness of the way to reduce AGEs. The survey showed that six in 10 people prefer grilling their meat over oven-roasting (23 percent), stirfrying (9 percent), steaming (3 percent) and poaching (1 percent).

“It is important for people to limit the amount of barbecued, sauteed or even toasted food,” says Dr. Michelle Davenport, a board member with the A.G.E. Foundation. “We’ve found that the higher the temperature you cook something, the higher the AGE level - and excessive AGEs cause our bodies to age prematurely.”

One week after Queens Borough President Helen Marshall presented recommendations in favor of the Willets Point redevelopment project, advocates rallied for the lack of affordable housing on July 8.

Marshall recommended the approval of the application with some considerations after the Office of the Borough President held a public hearing on June 6. The public hearing saw featured testimonies in favor of the project and 20 against the project.

The Queens Housing Coalition, along with advocates of affordable housing and local elected officials, rallied down 126th Street, from Roosevelt Avenue to Northern Boulevard in Willets Point chanting “What did they promise us in 2008?

Affordable housing, but we have nothing so far.”

The revised proposal of the redevelopment project set in place

by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Queens Development Group in conjunction with Related Companies and Sterling Equities Inc., states, out of the 2,500 housing units being built, 875 apartments of those would be affordable, but that component of the plan has been delayed until 2025.

According to Marshall’s recommendations, Phase 1A and 1B will

be a $3 billion private investment.

Phase 1A will provide the beginnings of the area’s environmental cleanup and construction of retail development on 126th Street. Phase 1B includes development of retail, office and residential buildings, of which 35 percent of the units will be affordable for low-income families in the 23 acres. These initial phases will lead to the rest of the Willets Point redevelopment project in Phase 2.

The recommendation states that the full build out and impacts of this project will occur over the next few decades.

A priority to fund the design and construction of the Van Wyck Expressway Access Ramps will be made and all development must be constructed using environmentally sustainable practices. A local hiring program will be established, which will ensure participation of local residents, particularly those living in Corona, East Elmhurst and Flushing. It is also a priority of the project to hire minorities and women. The QDG will participate in regularly scheduled meetings, while community boards, Office of the Queens Borough President and local elected officials will stay informed on the progress of this project.

The project is expected to generate $150 million in tax revenues annually.

The ongoing battle between the advocates, who want to see afford-

able housing first and the developers, who want to build an entertainment and retail center first, continues to carry on.

“We are standing together today to encourage you all to not give up on your rights,” said Councilman and Land Use Committee Chair Leroy Comrie (D- St. Albans) at the press conference during the rally.

Along with prolonged delays in constructing the apartment complexes, the New York City Economic Development Corporation or the developers have no legal binding obligations to provide the community with affordable housing. Even before affordable housing can become a reality, the City must construct ramps off the Van Wyck Expressway into Willets Point to mitigate the congestion of traffic.

“A promise was made and now those promises are not being kept,” said Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst) at the press conference.

“We are asking the City to give back what we deserve. It is also my number one priority to relocate these gentlemen [the Auto-shop owners] to a convenient location.”

“Enough is enough,” said State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst).

“First 1,900 affordable housing units were promised and now that number has come down to 875 units. If the ramps are not built by December 1, 2025, the developers can buy themselves out and not build any housing.”

Man Files Lawsuit Against City Over Civic Virtue

BY LUIS GRONDA Staff Writer A group advocating for the Triumph of Civic Virtue statue has filed a lawsuit against a city agency, claiming that it did not fully comply with its Freedom of Information request.

Robert LoScalzo, a Whitestone resident and documentary filmmaker, submitted a lawsuit against the Dept. of Citywide Administrative Services accusing the agency of not handing over all the documents he asked for in his FOIA application.

According to the suit, LoScalzo filed the FOIA request shortly after the Triumph of Civic Virtue statue was moved from outside Borough Hall in Kew Gardens to Brooklyn in December 2012.

The FOIA requested that DCAS hand over all of their communication documents with Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery, where the structure was moved and the contractor who performed the job.

LoScalzo said he filed the lawsuit because, DCAS has so far refused to give them the communication documents.

DCAS claims that its dialogue with Greenwood was strictly attorney-client communication and that is supposed to remain

confidential, LoScalzo said. They also claimed that inter-agency communications are exempt from FOIA as well.

LoScalzo disputes that claim, saying that even if it hired an outside attorney for the deal, once it shares their plans with the cemetery, which is a private company, it becomes a public document.

The Dept. of State Committee on Open Government, a state office that offers guidance and advice on FOIA-related matters, agreed with LoScalzo, saying that it would not qualify as inter-agency dialogue.

“In short, an agency is an entity of state or local government in New York. Communications with those outside of government agencies would be neither inter-agency nor intra-agency materials,” Camille Jobin-Davis, assistant director of the committee, said in a letter to LoScalzo.

He added that their refusal to hand over the documents have him suspicious about the statue’s move to Brooklyn.

“There’s no way they can arrange the move of a 22 ton statue without there being communication,” LoScalzo said.

He added that DCAS did send some documents to him, including the loan agreement between the City and Greenwood Cemetery.

The statue is on indefinite loan to the cemetery and there is no indication of if or when it would be returned to Kew Gardens, LoScalzo said.

When asked about the lawsuit, a DCAS spokesperson deferred to the New York City Law Dept. because it is a legal matter.

An NYC Law Dept. spokesperson said that they would not comment on the specifics of the case as it is pending litigation and they just received the lawsuit over the July 4th weekend.

“We’ve received the papers and are in the process of reviewing them,” the spokesperson said.

New Bill Curbs Speed By School Zones

BY Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer New legislation, sponsored by State Sen. Jeff Klein (D-Bronx), authorizes the use of speed cameras in New York City school zones where dangerous speeding is more rampant.

The five-year pilot program will install 20 speed-camera systems in school speed zones with the hopes of curbing consistent speeding.

“Speeding kills,” City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said in a statement. “More New Yorkers are killed in fatal crashes caused by speeding than in any other type of traffic crashes.”

While this legislation was being debated both in the Senate and the Assembly, State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst), co-sponsor of the bill, repeatedly asked the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst and the 112th Precinct in Forest Hills to reassign a crossing guard at the intersection of the Horace Harding Expressway and Junction Blvd., which is down the street from PS 206 The Horace Harding School, located at 61-02 98th St. in Rego Park.

A new crossing guard has not been assigned since the original crossing guard retired a few years ago, leaving no choice but to hope this intersection will be considered as one of the inter-

sections chosen for the 20 speed-camera pilot program across the City.

The Dept. of Transportation will ultimately choose the pilot locations through tests that show high rates of speeding in select school zones.

“As you are well aware, the Horace Harding Expressway’s wide lanes are designed to quickly move a high volume of vehicles onto and off of the Long Island Expressway,” Peralta said in a letter sent to the DOT’s Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan on June 24. “While that may be ideal for the flow of vehicular traffic, it represents a danger to pedestrians, including local residents, shoppers and, most especially, elementary school children.”

As of now, the commissioner replied to the first letter sent by Peralta in April, stating, “When authorization is granted, we would be happy to consider your request to install a speed camera at this location.”

Pat Martin, president of the Friends of LeFrak Library, who has worked tirelessly with the community to compile signatures for a petition that pushes for the reassignment of a crossing guard, says “the intersection is in a conundrum.”

“Kids and trucks are all coming down the expressway,” said Martin.

According to an analysis conducted

by Transportation Alternatives from

data collected by the New York Police Dept., there have been 17 pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists injured at the intersection of Horace Harding and Junction Blvd. from August 2011 through December 2012.

“Kids in particular have a tough

time gauging the speed and to know when it is safe to cross,” said Juan Martinez, general counsel at Transportation Alternatives.

Laughing Devil For Sale BY sTeven j. Ferrari Staff Writer Just more than a year and a half after opening, the owners of The Laughing Devil Comedy Club in Long Island City have announced that the club has been put on the market.

Comedian Steve Hofstetter made the move official Tuesday morning and is fielding offers for the club space, located at 47-38 Vernon Blvd., along with his business partner Jacob Morvay. Hofstetter, who recently moved to California, said an upcoming opportunity in Los Angeles for him and the birth of Morvay’s daughter precipitated the move.

“As much as we’d love to keep doing this, there’s not enough hours in the day,” Hoffstetter said Tuesday afternoon.

The Laughing Devil opened in December 2011 and has established itself as a hot spot for up-and-coming co-

medians. Hofstetter said the club has already broken even financially and credited the staff and the location in the heart of Vernon Boulevard for the club’s success.

While Hoffstetter and Morvay seek a new owner for the location, the Laughing Devil will continue its schedule of events.

“As of now, we still own the place,” Hoffstetter said. “We’re going to put on some damn good shows.”

The comedian said that while he hopes the location will continue as a comedy club, building on the success of the previous 18 months, he noted that nothing is definite until a sale is finalized.

“I’d rather it become a club, but if the right offer comes along, we have to take it,” he said.

Molloy Names Curran Replacements

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer When Archbishop Molloy’s legendary coach Jack Curran passed away in March, two men stepped up to take over his duties in basketball and baseball for the remainder of the school year. On June 27, those two individuals were named as the new head coaches for their respective sports at the Briarwood-based high school.

Mike McCleary, Molloy’s athletic director and Curran’s assistant coach for the past 15 years, will take over

as the school’s basketball coach. Brad Lyons, who was an assistant baseball coach under Curran for two years, was named the new baseball coach.

McCleary began his career at St. Anthony’s High School on Long Island in 1986-87. From there, he worked as an assistant coach for his alma mater, Queens College, between 1987 and 1991. He moved on to work at SUNY Farmingdale from 1991 to 1995, serving as assistant coach and head coach.

He also worked as an assistant coach at Fairfield University from 1995 to 1998. During his career, he had teams

ranked in the top 25 of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

In 1998, McCleary joined Molloy as a teacher and Athletic Director. Throughout his time at the high school, he has overseen the development of a woman’s athletics program, which increased the number of teams from 16 to 33.

Lyons began teaching at Molloy in 2010 in the mathematics department.

He attended the University of Maryland and earned his Master’s from Molloy College.

In terms of his coaching career, Lyons led the Stanners team to a 13-4

record and reached the fifth seed of the Catholic High School Athletic Association playoffs this past season.

The news came four months after Curran passed away in his sleep on March 14 at the age of 82.

“Coach [Curran] taught us all how we should act on and off the court or field,” McCleary said.

“He’s irreplaceable for what he did for this school and for what he’s done for the community,” Lyons added.

Avella Pushes For Parkland Review Process

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer With three projects in the works for Flushing Meadows Corona Park, State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) met with civic groups to announce a bill that would create a more stringent review process for such plans.

The legislation, numbered S.4951, would put into place a review process for proposals to alienate municipal parkland. If it becomes law, the act would apply to all of New York State.

Announced outside his district office, Avella created the bill to adjust a century-old system where municipal

parkland is subject to a public trust. As a result, the courts have ruled that municipal parkland cannot be alienated without prior enactment of legislation authorizing it.

The point of Avella’s legislation is to organize the public trust doctrine and establish a program administered by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for the alienation of municipal parkland. According to the State Senator, such an action taken against parkland should happen only if there is a compelling public need with no alternate options available.

The bill would also require that replacement parkland be returned at a

three to one ratio so any land alienated does not detract from that available for the area’s residents. The replacement land must be connected or within one mile of the space being alienated. At least one of the three replacement parcels must have one lot equal to the size of the taken land.

Avella used the United States Tennis Association expansion, Major League Soccer’s proposed stadium and the Willets Point renovation as examples for why the law is needed.

“Parkland is sacred and should be preserved for generations to come, not given away to private developers, especially without just and equal park-

land compensation,” he said.

“Rather than give parkland away, why not take care of it?” Warren Schreiber, president of the Bay Terrace Community Alliance, asked.

“Parkland’s being taken for commercial reasons,” James Trent, from the Queens Civic Congress, said. “This is a degradation of the whole process.”

Although the State Senate session is over for the year, Avella said the governor may call them back to Albany.

He would push for the legislation’s passage if that occurs.

LEISURE

12x12 Project And Ecohouse Come To Botanical Garden

BY JOE MARVILLI

Staff Writer

Although Queens Botanical Garden is one of the most environmentallyfriendly structures in the City, it will be going greener still with two exhibits that opened in early July.

The 12x12 Project and the Community Environmental Center EcoHouse both opened on July 2 and July 3, respectively. Promoting energy efficiency and environmental thinking, the two exhibits are included in the price of admission.

The 12x12 Project, along with the artists who will engage in a community dialogue, will be in residence throughout the month, its final day being July 31.

Author and WPI senior fellow, William Powers, came up with the project, having been inspired by a North Carolina pediatrician who chose to give up his home and live in a 12-foot by 12-foot house and permaculture farm. Powers spent a season living in the house and wrote about it in his 2010 award-winning book, “Twelve by Twelve: A One Room Cabin Off the Grid & Beyond the American Dream.”

The book sparked a conversation

about environmentalism that inspired New York artists and architects, including Betsy Damon, Erik Ajemian and Christy Rupp, to form a creative team and involve New Yorkers in an artistic way about these issues.

Habitat for Artists’ Simon Draper collaborated with the White Roof Project and the Refugee and Immigrant Fund for the 12x12’s initial build.

The installation is a sectional space that houses panels with text and questions from the “Twelve by Twelve” book.

While a community build was held at the 12x12 site on July 2, there will be a launch party on July 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. Artists and collaborators will be on hand and refreshments will be served by a local, green eatery. An open-air concert by the Yowana Sari Gamelan Orchestra will take place afterwards from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m.

The Community Environmental Center and the Queens Botanical Garden are partnering to host the EcoHouse until August 30. The mobile, interactive, environmental center can be found in the QBG Parking Garden at 42-80

the 12x12 Project Crommelin St., Flushing. It will be open the same hours as the Garden, Tuesday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Ecohouse, a 46-foot-long structure, has exhibitions about energy-efficient lighting, water conservation, heating and cooling systems, energy-efficient appliances and other systems.

Nevada: More Than A Diner Although Nevada Diner only opened on May 9, the quality of their food and service should guarantee that it will be a neighborhood favorite for a long time.

Looking to meet the high standards set by the old Sage Diner, the owners of the nearby Georgia Diner recently renovated the location, giving the Nevada Diner its own feel and flavor. The eatery brings a restaurant-level presentation and quality to its food rarely found in many other diners. From the first appetizers to the last bite of dessert, each dish was uniquely delicious and far exceeded the expectations of myself and my editor, Steven Ferrari, who joined me for lunch earlier this week.

The main chef, Nicholas, made the menu and tailored it to offer the best of both casual diner food and intriguing restaurant dishes. Different lunch and dinner specials are available every day from Monday to Friday, keeping the options fresh for frequent customers.

We started our meal with a Greek salad packed full of veggies. Lettuce,

red cabbage, tomatoes and stuffed grape leaves all made for a varied and appetite-whetting starter.

The four main dishes were the items that really blew Steven and I away. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly, making each juicy bite taste even better than the last one. The piece was pretty big as well, a great meal for anyone who loves lamb.

Borough Nabes Highlighted As Tourist Attractions

The beefsteak tomatoes with fresh cheese on top were really tasty as well. Neither Steven nor I are really fans of tomatoes but this arrangement was too good to pass up.

On another plate sat three baby lamb chops, all excellently cooked and seasoned. The strong flavors will make this a fan favorite for those looking for a good meal. The slices of pot roast were smothered in a scrumptious sauce and they were accompanied by carrots in a cinnamon glaze, an unexpected delight that was another highlight in a series of highlights.

For dessert, a piece of strawberry cheesecake and seven-layer cake made for a lovely end to the meal.

Each slice was too big to finish but they were so good that Steven and I had to take them home.

With 24-hour service starting on Fridays and Saturdays and an extremely high quality of food and service, Nevada Diner has certainly succeeded at making itself stand out from the pack. Steven and I can’t wait to go back.

Three Queens neighborhoods are being promoted as places tourists should visit while in New York this summer.

NYC & Company, the City’s official marketing and tourism organization, has added Forest Hills, Jackson Heights and Corona as areas featured in its Neighborhood x Neighborhood series.

The company has featured several neighborhoods in other boroughs on its website, nycgo.com/neighborhoods, which includes a description of each selected area.

Emily Mayrath, director of communications for NYC & Company, said that its intent for showcasing those neighborhoods is to give tourists areas in the City to visit places that are “off the beaten path” or that may not be as known to visitors or even some City residents.

According to their guide, in Forest Hills, they recommend that people visit well-known landmarks like Eddie’s Sweet Shop, 5 Burro Café and Forest Park. For Corona, they suggest visiting The Lemon Ice King of Corona, The Unisphere and the New York Hall of Science.

The Jackson Heights section of the series is a bit more extensive.

The company divided each of their recommendations into several sections including “Little India,” which recommends several Indian restaurants in the area, “Thirst Quenchers,” highlighting a few coffee shops in the neighborhood and “Nightlife,” exploring some options Jackson Heights has for people looking to go out in the evening. This section also has a short video showing the sights and sounds of Jackson Heights as well as interviews with some business owners.

The Major League Baseball AllStar game being played at Citi Field next week is another reason why these three neighborhoods were profiled.

“When baseball fans flock to Queens for the MLB All-Star Game this summer, they will be greeted by some of the most diverse dining, shopping and cultural experiences in New York City,” said George Fertitta, CEO of NYC & Company.

Q

Lhota Calls Out Weiner If you have dirt on Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, spill the beans.

Republican Mayoral cand i d a t e Jo e Lhota wants to expose the Democratic c a n d i d a t e’s romantic past and any dirty deeds he might have done as he campaigns for Mayor.

Lhota is calling all of Weiner’s ex-girlfriends to spill any juicy stories they may have.

The infamous picture leaked on Twitter in 2011 caused the

demise of Weiner’s career in Congress.

As Weiner campaigns across the City, the scandal continues to bring up many crucial questions regarding Weiner’s credibility and whether voters can trust him.

Lhota wants the women of New York to question whether they can trust a man who lied to his own wife.

As of now, several women from Weiner’s past have declined to comment.

JFK Worker Gets The AXXX One John F. Kennedy Airport security supervisor is getting the boot after accidentally sending out a mass email blast… of his penis.

Nearly two dozen coworkers were shocked when Gerard Robson, a project manager for private contractor FJC Security, responded to an airport parking-lot fender bender involving a security guard’s car.

Robson reportedly had every intention of alerting his bosses and Port Authority execs about what happened by sending photos of the car and emailing the images with his

company-issued BlackBerry.

But somehow, the clueless Robson attached a photo in the email that nobody wanted to see.

Although Robson realized his mistake almost immediately, even rushing to delete the photo from office computers and cellphones, it was too late.

The photo was sent to about 20 different individuals.

The former New Jersey transit cop emailed an apology, but his apology was too little, too late. Port Authority officials immediately revoked his airport-security credentials and fired him.

All Stars David and Matt

New York Mets players David Wright (left) and Matt Harvey (right) were selected to represent the team during next week's All-Star Game.

The rosters for the Major League Baseball All-Star game were announced over the weekend and two players will represent the New York Mets at the mid-summer classic.

Mets third baseman David Wright and rookie starting pitcher Matt Harvey will be on the National League team as they square off against the American League at Citi Field on Tuesday, July 16.

The winner will earn home

field advantage for the winning league at the World Series in October.

Wright will start at third base for the National League and Harvey was one of 13 pitchers selected by manager Bruce Bochy and is a candidate to start the game for his team.

The Mets star third baseman was voted in by the fans after trailing San Francisco Giants Third Baseman Pablo Sandoval for the majority of the voting period.

Mitch Kahn

Be sure to like us on Facebook, www.facebook.com/ QueensTrib, and follow us on Twitter, @QueensTrib

New Job? In the age of social media and instant updates posted on the Internet, news gets around pretty quick, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Last week, one QConf reporter got an email from LinkedIn, the job-based social networking site, with the subject l i n e , " D an Halloran's new job."

A click on the link shows that Halloran's new position is listed as "attorney at Halloran Law PC." His role as City Councilman for the 19th District is listed as his previous position.

The embattled Republican Councilman is still facing corruption charges stemming from his part in a plot to get Democratic State Sen. Malcolm Smith listed on the Republican ballot for Mayor of New York City this year.

The charges against Halloran - whose term in the City Council runs through the end of the year - include conspiracy and wire fraud and could result in up to 45 years in prison.

Despite these charges, Halloran never stepped down from his position on the City Council, simply deciding to not run again this year.

Several candidates have stepped up to try for the seat, including his former staffer Chrissy Voskerichian. Other Democrats on the ballot include Austin Shafran, John Duane and Paul Graziano.

Planning for the future is all well and good, but we hope that Halloran remembers that he is still the 19th District's representative in the Council, despite his legal troubles, until his replacement is sworn in.

When it comes to performing songs from the Great American Popular Songbook, Mitch Kahn is one of the best in the game.

Trained in classical and jazz piano, orchestration and voice, the Glen Oaks musician has played throughout North America and will soon be playing in Cunningham Park.

Sponsored by the Friends of Cunningham Park and given a grant from Councilman James Gennaro (D-Fresh Meadows), the free concert will take place on July 18 at 7:30 p.m. It will be held in the main park house at 196th street and Union Turnpike.

Bring your own blankets and chairs and relax as Kahn performs songs from artists like Cole Porter and Jimmy Van Huesen.

Kahn will be accompanied by his band of Jim Mola on drums and vocals, Rob Taube on guitar and vocals and Elysa Sunshine on bass and vocals.

“Last year, we were wellreceived so they invited us back,” Kahn said, mentioning that the show will feature between 35 and 40 songs with one intermission.

Kahn’s interest in music began at a very young age

with the gift of a piano that was intended for his older sister rather than him. Once he got his hands on the keys though, he held on tight.

“Two years later, it was the end of lessons for her and beginning of lessons for me,” he said.

As Kahn’s love of music grew throughout his childhood and adulthood, he was inspired by the Great American Popular Songbook’s various styles and classic songwriting. For many, many years, he has taken those songs on the road to notable New York venues, such as The Rainbow Room, Tavern on the Green and the Copacabana.

“The Great American Songbook is really an allencompassing term,” he said.

“It gives me great latitude to cover a lot of different genres of music.”

Besides being a resident of Queens, Kahn also has a personal tie to The Queens Tribune, having worked at the paper as a “jack-of-all-trades” in the late 1970s. It was his last 9-to-5 job before making a living out of playing music.

“Running around with [Trib founder] Gary [Ackerman] in the station wagon was a lot of fun,” he said. “It was very different times back then.”
