Don’t Turn New York Into Chicago!

Our Police Department Has Made New York City One Of

The SAFEST Big Cities In The USA

J O H N C A T SI M A T I DI S Candidate for Mayor 2013

• 13,212 murders in the 11 years BEFORE Mayor Bloomberg • 5,489 murders in the 11 years DURING Mayor Bloomberg

That’s 7,383 lives saved!

As Mayor, I Will See That Our Police Dept. Is Allowed To Continue This Excellent Work

Keep New York City Safe!

Through The Outstanding Command Of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly:

• This year, murders are down 29% from the 50-year low in 2012. • They stop & question individuals about whom they have reasonable suspicion - a widely used and lawful police tactic upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1968. • In 2012 civilian complaints were the lowest in five years. That’s progress - and a trend we need to continue!

Michelle J. Anderson

eileen Auld

Dean of the CUNY School of Law, Michelle Anderson said she has always been a teacher first. A law school professor at Villanova University School of Law for eight years, she appreciates the study of law because it is “intellectually enthralling.” Anderson still teaches one law class every fall, but as Dean, she said she is “the servant leader of the institution and wants to help it grow and flourish.” “Being Dean is the thrill of being the person who gets to talk about the institution to others and who serves the institution,” Anderson added. Through her leadership, the law school has seen progressive development since the start of her time in 2006. For starters, the law school now serves its students in a new LEED gold-certified, state-of-the-art building in Long Island City. Anderson highlighted a program launched in 2006, the Pipeline to Justice Program, which coincides very well with the school’s mission to enhance the diversity of the student body. It prepares underrepresented students to enter CUNY School of Law and supports them

Throughout her storied career, Eileen Auld has worked to improve the lives of those who needed it the most. Auld is the regional director of Citi Community Development, a part of Citigroup dedicated to economically empowering underserved individuals and families. Covering New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Auld and her team dedicate resources to affordable housing, college success and small business. She recently worked with New York City to put funding towards helping immigrant parents become naturalized citizens. Auld credited her career in service as having come from her parents, who were community activists. “They felt they had a responsibility to partake in the system and make their neighborhood a better place,” she said. One of the most impactful eras of Auld’s life was her time with the New York Police Department. As the assistant commissioner for community affairs, she helped

Dean of the CUNY School

throughout their law school career to follow a public interest focus. This program has led the school to become the second most diverse law school in the nation for both faculty and student diversity. Anderson said she understands what it means to be a role-model for students because she has seen the “light-bulbs go off when they understand difficult, dense material.” To her, that is “terrifically rewarding.” As a woman leader in Queens, Anderson wants to continue to resonate the two-fold mission of the law school by diversifying the legal field, so everyone has a fair shot, regardless of his or her background, and graduating public interest attorneys. -Trisha Sakhuja

Citi Comm. Develop. Regional Director bring communities and the NYPD closer together. She also worked to bring relief to the families and victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Rockaway plane crash later that same year. “My experiences with the police department were really unique and life-changing,” Auld said. “The NYPD is always in my heart.” Having grown up in Queens, the Borough has played a large role in her life. To this day, she still calls it home, living in Forest Hills. “I was born in Queens, I went to Queens College, I met my husband in Queens,” Auld said. “I love Queens.” Auld owns a summer home in Breezy Point. After the devastating damage caused by Superstorm Sandy to the Rockaways, she was thrilled that Citi Community was helping with the recovery. The company put up $250,000 for a store front improvement program and $150,000 for a small business marketing campaign. - Joe Marvilli

Carol ConSlato

PhiliPPa Karteron

Con Edison Director of Public Affairs From her time as president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce to her position as director of public affairs with Con Edison, Carol Conslato has dedicated much of her life to staying active within the Queens community. Conslato has worked for the electric company for 34 years. As director of public affairs, she works with the community and elected officials to resolve any number of issues that arise, not just in Queens, but throughout the City. In the last year alone, Conslato has attended a number of public meetings in southern Queens and the Rockaways, addressing the concerns of residents who lost power in the weeks after Superstorm Sandy. “I’m very fortunate to work with a company that is so heavily involved

Council for Airport Opportunity Executive Director

with the community,” she said. Conslato also served as president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce for three years, with her most recent term ending earlier this year. Her time at the Chamber saw Long Island City emerge as a tech hub, as the Chamber continues to bring more tech enterprises to the Borough. The former president of the Chamber also worked on the This is Queens iPhone app that came out earlier this year. She said that their aim was to market the Borough as a place people can visit. “With events like the U.S. Open and with people flying into our airports, we wanted to tell people that you can stay in Queens,” said Conslato, who was born in Southeast Queens. -Luis Gronda

Philippa Karteron is a seasoned veteran in the field of working with transportation throughout New York City. She has served as executive director for the Council for Airport Opportunity in Jamaica for the past four years. Karteron has also had a hand in starting a number of transportation hub projects throughout the City. “I worked as an administrator for the City for 32 years. In that time, I’ve developed a partnership with projects like Port Authority and the Air Train,” she said. “When the position of executive director became available, I was interested. I’d already had experience with aviation, and transportation as a whole, so I went for it.” Karteron has worked with Metro Tech in Brooklyn and founded the flagship location of the Workforce One Community Center in Queens. She has also played an instrumen-

tal role in opening various centers for the latter across the City. Regarding her position as director, Karteron believes that she has taken the position into the 21st century. “I’ve refurbished the offices, positively increased our statistics annually and rebranded the organization. Economic and work force development is what I do and what I want others to benefit from,” she said. Karteron expressed her happiness with being able to work in Queens again. After working in Lower Manhattan for most of her career, she is “happy to be in her home community.” A sense of giving back is also important in how Karteron runs the work place. “That is always important. I was brought up to understand that my goal was to help people,” she said. - Asia Ewart

Dr. Marcia Keizs

Tina Lee

President, York College On Valentine’s Day 2005, York College in Jamaica welcomed its new president – Dr. Marcia Keizs. During her eight years at York, the college has seen tremendous success and growth, due in large part to her strong leadership. But her journey to the top has not always been a walk in the park for the Kingston, Jamaica native. “My initial year and a half or two was difficult because I tried to assert leadership,” Keizs said. “Not everyone was happy. However, once I was able to balance that assertiveness with listening, I found with that approach, we could be successful.” Dr. Keizs has more than 30 years of experience in the CUNY system, both as an administrator and a professor. It is her passion for the students that has kept her in the same field after all these years. “I really love working in an educational institution,” she said. “You’re working actively to help students

Executive VP, World Journal

achieve dreams of higher education. I love to engage with my students even though I am not in the classroom anymore.” And it is not just the students that give Keizs the fuel to keep running. “I also get a chance to work with some phenomenal faculty. They bring a wealth of experience,” she said. “That’s one of the beauties of my job – I get to engage and interact with them.” Her commitment and dedication to York College goes well beyond her role as president. Keizs has also pledged to donate $100,000 to the school, which she has been paying off in installments. “I would not put my hard-earned money into a place that I didn’t love and didn’t feel the legacy was good,” she said. “I was raised to be generous with what I have and so when we were fundraising for the school two or three years ago, I made a pledge to give $100,000.” -Natalia Kozikowska

Although Tina Lee was born into the family business, she had humble beginnings as an intern at the World Journal – the largest Chinese language newspaper in the United States. Years later, Lee returned to the business as the executive vice president of the well-respected publication. “I always had an interest of coming back to the family business because in media, it is a service to the community,” Lee said. Lee first returned to the World Journal in August 2001. Just two weeks into her job, the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened and she got her first lesson on just how important the role of media was. “We had to coordinate trucks to have papers deliver to people reliant on the news,” she said. “It was interesting for me, for someone who had just come in, to see the dedication of all of the staff to make sure the paper got to the readers and to see how much the readers were in need of the information.”

Now entering her 12th year, Lee understands the value of keeping communities informed. “We connect the Chinese communities with other communities in a number of ways. One of the ways is through news and information,” she said. “We’ve increased activism in the Asian American community. In one way, we’ve partnered with the community to increase awareness. I think that having the next generation become involved and aware is important.” Lee said she is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to connect the media to the Asian community in America. Whether it is getting the World Journal more involved with charitable organizations like the Red Cross or sitting as the co-chair of the Flushing Business Improvement District, she is completely dedicated to what she does. “I do see myself at the World Journal 10 years from now,” she said. “I think that continuing to work with the communities is something I would love to do.” -Natalia Kozikowska

GAIL MELLOW

SHANIE PERSAUD

President, LaGuardia Comm. College Executive Director, GABPC President of LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City, Dr. Gail Mellow, Ph.D., said “Without community colleges, we wouldn’t have a middle class because it is the best and the most economic way for students to get more serious about their studies.” In her 13 years as President, Mellow said she was proud to see the community college grow by 40 percent. Mellow applauds the college for becoming one of the top three community colleges in the nation, playing an influential role in helping students further their studies at four-year institutions after graduating with a twoyear associate’s degree, many of those being Ivy League colleges. The college does a lot to connect with small businesses in the community, like the recent collaboration with Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District and the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce to sponsor a map contest that gave students an opportunity to draw a colorful and artistic map of Sun-

nyside for a chance to win cash prizes. “We use education to help businesses and communities grow,” said Mellow. One of the areas of study Mellow highlighted was LaGCC’s Business and Technology degree because it gives students a chance to receive two years of required courses in business and technology, which then prepares them to start working or further their studies. Another degree Mellow spoke highly of was their most popular area of study, philosophy. “It is a very important degree, because we live in a complex world, so it is important we graduate students who know how to think critically,” said Mellow. As a woman leader in Queens, Mellow said she “loves being a role model.” The diversity she sees within the staff, faculty and student body helps her to step out of the box and learn new things every day. -Trisha Sakhuja

Queens is widely known as the most diverse county in the world. With so many different groups, it can be a challenge to provide for all of them. Shanie Persaud, the executive director and one of the founders of the Guyanese and American Business and Professional Council, is dedicated to bringing the Guyanese and American communities together. The Guyanese and American Business and Professional Council is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to develop stronger ties between Guyana and the United States and forge closer relations between the professional groups of both nations. “A group of us, both Guyanese and Americans, put it together,” Persaud said. “It formed primarily for that and to give more prominence to the Guyanese community over here and to allow Americans to market themselves for this community.” Persaud put her media experience in both Guyana and Queens to

good use, using her ability to make contacts as a way to drive together the Guyanese community with organizations, such as the Queens Chamber of Commerce, the Queens Economic Development Corporation and the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation. “More and more, I try to partner with other organizations within the community to bring services to our members and the business community at large,” she said. The South Ozone Park non-profit provides business and career services as well. GABPC also works with charities, doing activities like raffles to assist the American Cancer Society and others. For the future, Persaud said she hopes that GABPC’s membership will continue to grow and that the organization will be able to do even more to help members of the Queens Guyanese community. “My heart and soul has always been Guyana and always will be,” she said. -Joe Marvilli

To all of the women honored this year,

Congratulations!

Thank you for your distinguished service, loyalty and devotion to Queens

Claire Shulman

Cynthia ZalinkSy

Former Queens Borough President Claire Shulman has continued to stay involved in the Borough since leaving as Queens Borough President in 2001. Currently, she serves as chief executive officer at the Flushing Willets Point Corona Local Development Corporation and as a board member of New York Hospital Queens as well as York College in Jamaica. Part of the work she has been doing at the Flushing LDC is planning how to develop 60 acres of land in downtown Flushing close to Willets Point. She describes the area as underdeveloped with scattered businesses in that portion of Flushing. They hope to change the zoning in those 60 acres to encourage more businesses to move there. What ends up happening with the nearby Willets Point project is another key factor into deciding what to do with the 60 acres. “Whatever development we encourage there, it has to be compatible with whatever happens across the river at Willets Point,” Shulman said. Her work on the York College

Cynthia Zalinsky’s goal for the Queens Jewish Community Council is to “improve the plight of and be an advocate for the people of Queens.” Since she became the executive director of QJCC 10 years ago, the council has expanded in a plethora of areas and is continuously working to service the entire Borough, Jewish or not. “We service close to 15,000 people annually; our work has definitely expanded. I’m working to improve the economic and social services of Queens,” she said. Zalinsky began her time with QJCC as a board member, and answered to a higher calling as executive director because of something her parents always instilled within her: the act of giving back. “My parents are Holocaust survivors,” she explains “They always carried around a guilt with them,

board, she said, was getting the college more recognized so that more funding and programs were allocated for that university. Shulman said that York would often be forgotten about by the City because of its location and they have worked to change that. Although she is now 87 years old, Shulman said she will continue to be active in the Borough for as long as her health permits her to. She added that she loves being involved in Queens and to make things happen so it is a better place to live and visit. - Luis Gronda

Queens Jewish Community Council Executive Director asking why they lived while others were killed. Raising my brothers and I, they always taught us to do God’s work and give back. They feel that they were able to live because they were meant to do God’s work. That’s what I want our council to do. I want us to work hard to give back to the Queens community.” Zalinsky has led QJCC to increase their offered immigrant services, involve themselves with youth at risk and enhance and support programs for the empowerment of women. Her continued efforts with the QJCC and sense of giving back to others makes her a true female leader in Queens. “QJCC is the lead agency of faith based agencies in Queens. We will continue to hold that title through responding always to the needs of the community,” she said. - Asia Ewart

Civic Leaders Protest Bayside School

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

Elected officials, civic leaders and homeowners came together across the street from a proposed school site on a busy avenue to say loud and clear, do not put it here. State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (DHillcrest) held a press conference on July 19 to protest a proposed new school on the Keil Brothers property, found at 48th Avenue between 210th Street and 211th Street. The property is being sold to the School Construction Authority, which wants to build a new school at the location. Those who spoke said the site is a poor choice for a new school, mentioning traffic problems, parking problems and the school’s encroachment into residential backyards. According to Avella, the City Council Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Siting and Maritime Uses was originally scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposal on July 22 in an attempt to get a final supporting vote on July 24. Due to mounting pressure from the community, the Dept. of Education has agreed to push back the hearing and meet with the elected officials to discuss the situation in August. While the DOE is willing to meet with Avella, Rozic, Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens) and a Bayside Hills Civic representative, the State Senator said they are refusing to meet with a Community Board 11 member. This is due to the aggressive, antagonistic meeting between the CB and the SCA on May 6 that discussed the site in question. According to the SCA reps, some

members of the public made threats against them after the meeting concluded. CB 11 chair Jerry Iannece responded in a letter to Walcott that the SCA presentation was “condescending and at times, intimidating.” Avella said that even if someone did threaten the SCA members, it should not discount the input of the entire community. “I think it’s ridiculous. The Community Board is part of the land use process,” he said. “Whether you like it or not, they have to get involved. You can’t hold an entire community at fault.” At the conference, Avella said that the officials are going to insist that CB 11 be involved in the yet-to-be-scheduled meeting with the DOE. He also plans to push for a better site option that would not harm the surrounding area as much. “They’re going to build a school next to the backyards of residential homes? Unheard of,” Avella said. “For the property owners who have made this community their home, it’s an absurdity.” “We’re here loud and clear that for once, the City cannot just roll over our community in Eastern Queens,” Rozic added. While many in the community understood the need for another school, they felt the location would be irresponsible, given the busyness of 48th Avenue. “We know this is a thriving, developing community, but this is not the appropriate place for this,” Toby Pagano, a local homeowner, said. “You’re going to have parents driving little children with no place to park, dealing with the buses. The kids are really going to be the victims here as much as the homeowners.” Henry Euler, the first Vice President of the Auburndale Improvement Association, said the DOE should put

Woodside resident Ana Lucia Urizar, 22, created an electronic mentoring program that would pair seniors at her former high school with current college students as a way to guide them through the daunting college application process. Lucia is one of two recipients of the 2013 Alumni Award winners chosen by the National Academy Foundation, which is a network of career-themed academies that prepare students for college and career readiness. Lucia, a native of Guatemala, and her twin sister, Ana Gabriela Urizar, understand the difficulties immigrant students face in terms of applying to college when it comes to the language barrier and the culture shock they face. Lucia’s participation with NAF began when she attended the Academy of Finance and Enterprise high school in Long Island City. After graduating in 2009, she furthered her studies at Syracuse University on a full scholarship, but continued to come home during her breaks to encourage students to apply to college, regardless of the hurdles they may face. “For many immigrant families, the college process seems intimidating,” Lucia said. “Being an immigrant, our parents are not familiar with the college application and we have no professional connections. It is also hard to understand the financial aid forms.” Last year, Lucia said the pilotmentoring program consisted of 40 mentors from Syracuse Univserity that were matched up with 40 mentees from her high school. This year, she said she is looking to make the program even bigger. Lucia’s mentee, Arthur Sorensen, 18, of Woodside and an immigrant from Paraguay, will start his freshman year at Baruch College this fall. Lucia said meeting Sorensen in person made the whole experience that much more worthwhile. The advice she always gives to her mentees is “to seek help if you need it and to follow your dreams.”

“Most do not think it is possible to go college or think it is affordable,” Lucia added. During high school, Lucia interned with Su Casa, an education foreclosure prevention program for the Latino community, co-sponsored by JP Morgan and the Hispanic National Bar Association. It is there she decided she wants to continue her philosophy of helping others by studying law. Lucia is set to start classes at Syracuse University College of Law starting this fall. “I want to continue to educate and advocate for Latino families,” Lucia said.

Forest Hills Pastor Found Dead In LI Home

BY LuIs GROndA Staff Writer

A long-time priest at a Forest Hills church was found dead at his home last week. Monsignor Gerald Langelier, who was a pastor at Our Lady of Mercy Church, passed away last Friday. He was 78 years old. According to a police report, Langelier was found unresponsive at the bottom of a pool in his Long Island home at around 5 p.m. on July 19. Police and Fire Dept. responding to the scene attempted to revive the monsignor but were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Southhold Police, where the pastor lived, said that they do not disclose the cause of death to respect the family’s privacy and there is currently no investigation into his death. Services are being held on Wednesday and Thursday in honor of Langelier. The wake for the monsignor will be held at Glascott Funeral home on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Also on Thursday, a vigil mass for Langelier will be held at Our Lady of Mercy beginning at 7:30 p.m. Finally, the funeral mass will be held at the church on Friday at 10:30 a.m. Barbara Stuchinski, President of the Forest Hills Civic Association, said that she remembers Langelier as one of the kindest, most caring priests she has known. “He truly was a gentle man and will be greatly missed by all of us who have known him for these many years,” she said in an email. For more information on the services being held for Langelier, please contact Our Lady of Mercy Church at (718) 268-6143.

Queens Electeds Support Comm. Safety Act By Luis Gronda Staff Writer Several members of the City Council’s Queens Delegation reiterated their support for the Community Safety Act last week. Seven council members pledged that they still plan to back the bill, despite facing criticism since the bills were passed last month. Council members Leroy Comrie (D-St Albans), Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens), Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) and Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica) signed a pledge to restate their support for the bills at a press conference at Queens Borough Hall. The Community Safety Act consists of two separate bills. The first, called the End NYPD Discriminatory Profiling Bill, would allow anyone to sue the NYPD if they have been discriminated against by a police officer. The second, the NYPD Oversight Act, would establish an Inspector General who would oversee the NYPD and publish reports of their findings to the public. Both bills were approved by the City Council in June, 34 to 17 and 40 to 11 respectively. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has strongly opposed the bills, calling the legislation “life threatening” and plans to veto the acts, although the council voted with enough

Anthony Weiner Outlines Housing Plan BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer Days before he got caught up in another sexting scandal, Anthony Weiner revealed his housing plan for the middle class and those struggling to get by. The former Congressman and current Mayoral candidate presented a seven-point plan in LeFrak City’s Rome Building on July 18, discussing the state of housing today and where it will be in the near future. The plan’s first item was adjusting the 80/20 Housing Program, which states that 80 percent of a new development’s units can be sold at market price, but 20 percent needs to be set aside for low income residents to be eligible for tax credits. Weiner would add a middle class requirement, making it a 60/20/20 program. To get tax credits under this plan, 60 percent of units would be sold at market price, 20 percent would be sold at a middle class price and 20 percent would be sold at a low-income price. “You need to have a ladder of housing. You have to have people climb up and up and up,” Weiner said. “It’s part of the American Dream.” The mayoral candidate also went over producing a Mitchell-Lama housing subsidy program for the 21st century. Created in 1955, the Mitchell-

Albanese: Small Business Needs More Help BY Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer As Democratic Mayoral candidate Sal Albanese began his “Save our Neighborhoods” tour from Roosevelt Avenue and 57th Street., he walked in and out of an array of small businesses, asking them how their business is doing and what the City could do better to help them function properly and expand. On the afternoon of July 18, Albanese listened closely to the concerns of the shoppers and merchants at local appliance stores, florists, bodegas, bakeries, restaurants and delis. More than a dozen languages were spoken on the bustling strip of busi-

nesses as they all spoke English with a unique accent. Albanese, an advocate for small businesses, said the City needs to do a lot more for the “new American” business owners, especially when it comes to the language barrier. “There is no place more diverse than Queens,” Albanese said in comparison to other parts of the City. “The City only helps the big corporations, but I feel like I can make a difference.” Albanese said the main concerns surrounding the local business owners are the hefty fines being hit by City agencies for minor violations that the owners can easily fix or avoid if given a warning before the fine. “City agencies should warn them first and give them a chance to mitigate the problem before fining them thousands of dollars in violations,” said Albanese. “A lot of these owners are operating on small margins and most of them are immigrants.” “The Dept. of Sanitation will fine for little things,” said owner Soon Kim of Junes Cards and Such, located at 58-17 Woodside Ave. “They came into our backyard and saw we did not separate our garbage, but we put garbage in the back when we are in a hurry and we do recycle when we put the garbage out in the front.” Another concern was the need for

more safety patrols, especially during the evening hours. Albanese said even though crime rates are down in the City, “the business owners still feel intimidated.” For Gift, Games and Toyshop owner, Julie Eugermio, whose business is located at 67-13 Roosevelt Ave., she worries about her high rent and where she will relocate after the lease of her

building ends because her business is not doing so well. During the next part of the ongoing “Save our Neighborhoods” tour, Albanese said he will advocate for parkland and against the development of Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Money For Sandy Relief Left Unspent

By Luis Gronda Staff Writer A preliminary report released by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman calls into question whether charitable organizations have spent all the money donated to them for Superstorm Sandy relief as of this year. The report, titled Charitable Response to Hurricane Sandy, outlines the findings of the Attorney General’s office through a questionnaire the office sent out and from the 89 companies that responded to the inquiry. It also questions whether funds that were said to have been spent on relief related to the storm were instead spent on other organizational expenditures or other purposes not related to Sandy. According to the report, the charities reported raising more than $575 million in funds for storm relief, but only spending 58 percent of that amount, or $336 million in total. Other findings in the report include the American Red Cross raising the most funds out of the organizations that responded with more than $299 million and 17 of those companies reported that they may use those funds for reasons not related to Sandy, including future disasters. The Attorney General’s Charities

Bureau has been tracking the donations since the first days after Sandy hit the North eastern United States. The bureau regulates charities that operate in New York State. Schneiderman announced at a press conference last week that his office will send a letter to at least 50 of the companies asking for more accountability when it involves handling the donations. “New Yorkers are resilient and

generous people. As we have done so many times in the past, we got right to work rebuilding. We have a responsibility to the people who donated their hard-earned money to help our community rebuild to make sure that the contributions they made were used as advertised,” he said in a statement. According to the press release about the report, his Charities Bureau will increase its review of fundraising

to get more detailed answers from the companies about what they are doing with the money. Three Queens politicians, Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D- Ozone Park) and State Sen. Joe Addabbo (DHoward Beach) all called for the unspent monies to go towards Sandy Relief. Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, Ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune.com, or @luisgronda.

City Council Approves USTA Expansion By Luis Gronda Staff Writer The City Council has approved the proposed United States Tennis Association expansion in Flushing Meadows Corona Park after the tennis company agreed to give money to the park. The council voted 47-1 to approve the project, with the lone dissenting vote being Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone). The USTA will now to expand the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center by 0.68 acres after receiving the City Council’s approval. That plan includes renovating Louis Armstrong Stadium and moving the Grandstand stadium to park of the new area that it would take up if approved by the City.

As part of the deal for the expansion, the USTA and the City reached an agreement to provide the park with $10.5 million, according to Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst) and New Yorkers 4 Parks. The money will go towards different aspects of the park, including $5 million for capital projects, $350,000 for three years of maintenance and programming at FMCP and $200,000 for the following 20 years for aforementioned maintenance and programming. The Fairness Coalition of Queens, a union of civic groups advocating for parkland in the Borough, released a statement expressing their joy about their agreement. “For too long, FMCP has been ignored and underfunded. Today, that

legacy begins to change. This is the first major investment from a tenant of the park in decades. We believe this will be a win-win partnership. This agreement can lead to FMCP finally reaching its potential as a world-class park,” its statement read in part. The USTA also released a statement on the Council approval and the agreement. “We are confident that in partnership with the local Queens communities and elected officials, we will ensure a better Flushing Meadows Corona Park and National Tennis Center,” said Gordon Smith, Chief Operating Officer of the USTA.

Cemetery Hosts 5K Run For Slain Officer BY LuIs GROndA

Staff Writer

A cemetery sitting on the QueensBrooklyn border will host its firstever 5K run in honor of a slain police officer. Cypress Hills Cemetery will host the 5K on Sunday, Sept. 8 in remembrance of fallen NYPD officer Peter Figoski of the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn. Figoski was shot and killed while responding to a burglary in December 2011. Four men were arrested and charged in relation to the shooting. One of the men, Lamont Pride, received a sentence of 45 years to life in prison earlier this year for being involved in the killing. Anthony Desmond, Vice President of Field Operations at Cypress Hills, said they chose to do the 5K because it hits close to home for them and the surrounding community. “We know how it’s affected people who live in this area,” he said. “And this is a little more local with the cemetery being a few blocks from the precinct.”

Desmond said they designed the course to only go through the entire cemetery and to pass by some of the famous people buried there, including Jackie Robinson. They do not have a specific target for how much money they want to raise, he said, but they want the race to be a positive experience for the family and the community as a whole, while raising cash that will go towards a fund to benefit deceased police officers. If this event is successful, Desmond said that they intend on having other races in the future for different causes, as well as continue to run the race to benefit slain police officers like Figoski. The run starts at 9 a.m. with inperson registration beginning 90 minutes before its scheduled start time. If you would like to register beforehand, log onto runsignup.com/ race/ny/Brooklyn/cypresshillscemetery5krunthroughhistory.

born deaf, they have been behind his musical pursuits. “At my first showcase, [my mother] came out and supported me. She was sitting right in the front row and she loved it,” he said. “I’m happy I came back home.” His two greatest musical inspirations are Frank Sinatra and North Carolina rapper J. Cole. He is a fan of Sinatra for his ability to make any song or style sound beautiful and classic. As for J. Cole, Scott enjoys his inspirational work and the fact that he graduated from college, a goal for the Whitestone artist as well. Scott, 23, is a student at Queensborough Community College, the first step in his goal of going to a four-year college and getting a degree in psy-

chology. He even takes his psychology lessons and applies them to his lyrics and music. While a degree is a large ambition of his, Scott wants to take his musical career as far as he can. “The amount of success I’ve gained over just one year of recording and performing has been so drastic and beyond exceeded my expectations,” he said. “I’m going to take music as far as it lets me go. I really have no idea where it’s taking me. I’m just leaving it all up to God.” To find out more about Scott’s music and live shows, visit www.charliescotthiphop.com or www.soundcloud.com/ charliescotthiphop.

Citi Bike Comes To LIC BY TRIshA sAkhuJA

Staff Writer

Queens residents will see more cyclists on the streets as part of a new program, New York City’s Bike Share network, Citi Bike. By September, 10 select locations across Long Island City will enable Queens to become a part of the nation’s largest public bike share system. Combined efforts in part by Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D- Astoria) and community advocates for Citibike, led the Dept. of Transportation to include Bike Share to Long Island City in Phase 1 of its Citywide initiative. “I am proud to have worked with Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan to bring Bike Share to Long Island City in Phase 1,” said Van Bramer. “This had not been part of the original plan but we were able to change the map to include western Queens.” Gianaris said the residents of Queens have been seeking additional transportation options. “Our community has worked for years to make western Queens more bike-friendly and our efforts have been largely successful,” he said. “I am pleased to see that Long Island City is included in future plans, and I hope that the program will be quickly expanded to more western Queens neighborhoods.” In the first two weeks of Citi Bike’s launch in May, after being delayed twice before in its initial plans, docking stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn have been reported to work smoothly. He sought to see the program in Western Queens after seeing the neighborhoods of Paris and Vienna on a bicycle from a bike share program.

“The bike share program supports our local businesses because you will be more inclined to pick up a quick bite or a drink if you pass a restaurant while biking,” said Van Bramer. “It also encourages a healthy life style.” Intended to provide New Yorkers and visitors with an environmentallyfriendly means of transportation that is fun and convenient, Citi Bikes are available 24/7, 365 days a year. The solar-powered, wireless docking station locations were chosen through a participatory pubic input process that determines its need according to population and transit needs. Each station is equipped with a touch screen kiosk, a map of the service area and the surrounding neighborhood and a docking system that releases a bike for rental with a card or key. Depending on the type of membership a biker signs up for, the 24- hour access pass or the seven-day access pass, it allots bikers with a 30- minute ride, and if you are a frequent rider with an annual membership, bikers can ride for 45-minutes at a time without incurring overtime fees. In a recent letter sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the DOT in July, Gianaris formally requested that Woodside, Sunnyside and Astoria also be a part of the future plans for Citi Bike. “By expanding [bike share] to Western Queens, it allows the program to be fully sustainable,” said Gianaris in reference to its start-up costs and the subsidized portion of the budget. “Western Queens is bike friendly because of the additional bike lanes added to the streets and the waterfront,” Gianaris added.

Queens DeaDline

FMCP Proposed Landmarking Rejected BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer While the flagship parks of Manhattan and Brooklyn have been landmarked, it does not look like Flushing Meadows Corona Park will be as lucky. The Landmark Preservation Commission revealed its decision on July 9 to not grant landmark status to the 897-acre park, a decision attributed to its changing nature over time and its lack of cohesiveness. “We determined that the park does not rise to the level of a scenic landmark because its design lacks cohesiveness and it’s been changed over time,” LPC communications director Elisabeth de Bourbon said. “In addition, the park is not considered an important example of its designer, the landscape architect and engineer Gilmore Clarke.” Not everyone agreed with that assessment, though. Borough President candidate State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) met with a few other civic leaders in front of the Unisphere, which was landmarked in 1995, on July 19 to protest the LPC’s denial and the lack of public input in the decision-making process. He made mention of the park’s historic history as the home to two World’s Fairs and the General Assembly of the United Nations before its permanent headquarters was built. “Why does Queens always get treated like a stepchild?” he said. “You mean to tell me that Queens doesn’t deserve the same recognition? This park is a treasure.”

tion but the LPC was not the best method. “It would have been a long, arduous process and never would have been completed in time to affect these projects,” Vallone said. “Luckily, the City Council has the final say and I will fight to ensure no Queens parkland is ever given to a sheik for one dollar.” “The landmarks Photo by joe marvIllI process requires that (from left) Christina Wilkinson, Henry euler, a site not have been state sen.

Ackerman Endorses Shafran Former Congressman and Queens Tribune founder Gary Ackerman endorsed Austin Shafran for City Council District 19 on July 22. The endorsement took place outside the Selfhelp Clearview Senior Center in Bayside, with many of Shafran’s supporters on hand for the occasion. “He came to work for me in our Congressional office. He showed a passion for public service, showed he was a decent human being. He helped countless numbers of people. He’s capable, he’s dedicated, and on top of all that, he’s smart,” Ackerman said. “From my personal experience, from the bottom of my heart, he is going to be one

heck of a public servant. He’s going to go on to bigger and better things.” “Coming from a family of teachers, it was a profound honor to be offered my first job in politics by a former teacher, Gary Ackerman, who’s still been an incredible teacher to this day,” Shafran said. “The proudest moment in politics and in life is earning the respect and the support of someone you admire. There is no one I look up to more than this gentleman.” On Sept. 10, Shafran will face Paul Vallone, Paul Graziano, John Duane and Chrissy Photo by Ira Cohen Voskerichian in the Democratic Gary ackerman endorsed austin shafran primary for the seat. for City Council on July 22.

BP Approves Tearing Down 5Pointz BY TRIshA sAkhuJA Staff Writer Queens Borough President Helen Marshall approved David Wolkoff’s plan to build two high-rise apartment complexes in accordance with Community Board 2’s recommendations on July 16. The two high-rise apartment buildings would replace the current graffiti-covered warehouse, known as 5Pointz, located at 45-46 Davis St. Long Island City. As the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure continues, a public hearing was held in the Borough President’s office on June 27 that reviewed G&M Realty L.P.’s request for a zoning change that would allow the builder to construct 1,000 residential units in two towers, one 41 stories and the other 47 stories. In conjunction with a provision allotted by the Borough President, at least 20,000 sq. ft. of public open space and a 250 car parking garage will be included in the design. The approval also includes more than 25,000-sq. ft. of commercial space and ground floor retail space, along with more than 30,000-sq. ft. of private landscape that will be accessible for public use. CB2 disapproved the project in June because there was no guarantee of affordable housing units and the project was deemed too large and out of character for the neighborhood. Less than a week after CB2 voted down Wolkoff’s plans to tear down the graffiti Mecca, Joseph Conley, chairperson of CB2, and Wolkoff collaborated on community recommendations for the development proposal. “Going forward, the community will be happy with what we have developed,” Wolkoff added. The collaborated efforts include 75 affordable housing units with preference to CB2 residents, 12,000sq. ft. of space for artist studios and a working partnership with a local art institution, PS1 Sculpture Studio, to manage the display of art. Conley said he is content with the approval and “even though some people will be upset going forward with the project, Wolkoff has a right to move forward.” The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 24 and will make their vote late August.

In Our OpInIOn

What Does It Take? The Landmark Preservation Commission revealed earlier this month its decision to not grant landmark status to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, citing a lack of cohesiveness and the park’s changing nature as its reasons against the status. A spokesperson for the commission also noted that the park is not considered an “important example” of its designer. A park that has hosted two World’s Fairs, is home to Queens’ most identifying structure (the Unisphere, landmarked in 1995), and is relied upon by hundreds of thousands of people for green space, days at a museum or a night at the theater is, clearly, not worthy of a landmark status. The most frustrating notion in the LPC’s decision is the citation of the park’s evolving nature over the years. The park has changed so much over time because City officials have not protected Flushing Meadows Corona Park the way they have Central Park or Prospect Park. This continues even now, as debate continues over a proposed soccer stadium. We need our City officials to put a stop to these plans, to dedicate time and resources to fixing Flushing Meadows Corona Park, because if we continue as we have, there will not be any park left.

In YOur OpInIOn Differing Opinions On Martin Case

To The Editor: eople blame Trayvon Martin for sucker-punching Zimmerman. Here are some facts these ignorant fools continue to ignore: Zimmerman instigated the confrontation, provoked Martin into responding physically and then killed him, claiming legal justification. Zimmerman profiled Martin as a “punk” instead of seeing him as he was – a kid walking home with a soda and a bag of Skittles. Zimmerman continued to stalk Martin even after the police dispatcher told him not to. Zimmerman carried a gun, which caused a confrontation that he initiated to escalate a misunderstanding into the death of an innocent teen. Zimmerman now claims he fears walking in his own neighborhood because someone might take the law into their own hands and confront him, possibly assaulting him and maybe pulling a gun for a nonexistent crime. Now he knows what happened to Trayvon! Robert La Rosa, Whitestone

To The Editor: hese sycophants of Democratic Liberalism are once again fallaciously projecting the Trayvon Martin incident as racial, rather than the self-defense of George Zimmerman. President Obama leads the racial bait chorus by singing, “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin; Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” I have a suggestion. Every sane American should buy a hoodie for Obama and a ticket to Zimmerman’s town for christmas, and we won’t have to be inundated with his stupid comments, stupid policies and his stupid-looking face crying racism ever again. Joseph N. Manago Briarwood

Make Florida Off Limits

To The Editor: he Trayvon Martin slaying verdict has outraged millions, including our President. But so far, only Stevie Wonder has shown a sensible solution – Boycott Florida. The pop music superstar refuses to perform there until Florida repeals its Stand Your Ground law that triggered Trayvon’s murder. Other entertainers, like Jay-Z and Beyonce, must follow his example. No New York professional or college teams should compete there, even if they forfeit games. All city and State agencies must stop doing business with any Florida-based enterprises. city and State pension funds must shed their investments in companies there, just like they did with gun manufacturers after Sandy Hook. And all New Yorkers must declare Florida off limits for vacation and business travel. No more visits to Disney World, Sea World, Miami, Tampa or anyplace else until Florida repeals its license

for murder. If not, Florida must change its tourism ads to say: “come visit us. You can get away with murder here. But leave your hoodie and Skittles home.” Stand your ground. Boycott Florida. Richard Reif, Flushing

Another Look At Community Safety

To The Editor: n his letter to the editor, councilman Mark Weprin made a valiant effort trying to spin the community Safety Act as measures that will not jeopardize public safety. Mr. Weprin says, “Intro 1080 does not prevent police officers from using stop and frisk and would still permit the use of race, gender, age and other relevant information when pursuing criminal suspects.” What he doesn’t say is that doing so could result in finding those officers guilty of biased-based profiling if the crime-fighting tactics employed by the police disproportionally impacts people on the basis of those very same characteristics. So how would this work in the real world? Imagine a string of vehicle break-ins has victimized a middle-class community like Rosedale. A grainy security video that is inconclusive suggests that a group of white teen males may be responsible. While on night patrol a cop sees a white teen male in this predominately black neighborhood walking with no purpose, and looking into parked car windows. Although those actions are not illegal, common-sense tells us to stop and question this individual. Unfortunately, doing so would subject the police to bias-based profiling charges under this bill because the stop was based on the color, gender and age of the individual and not some other factor. Simple suspicion is not sufficient, so Alan Goldsher Director of Marketing Maureen Coppola Advertising Administrator Shelly Cookson Corporate Advertising Account Executives Merlene Carnegie Shari Strongin Tom Eisenhauer Maury Warshauer Elizabeth Rieger

Accounting: Lisbet Espinal, Elizabeth Mance

we can toss common sense out the window. In another neighborhood, the police have responded to community concerns about a local bar that has been the scene of numerous gun and alcohol-related problems. In a proactive effort to stop this, every Friday and Saturday night for the next month the police have set up a vehicle check point a block from the bar. After the first week, the bar patrons wise up to the police action and are on their best behavior when leaving. Although many were stopped, no arrests were made and the neighborhood finally gets needed relief. Unfortunately, these actions by the police subject them to biased-based profiling under the bill since most of the bar patrons are people of color and the police cannot prove that their police actions were definitively responsible for the reduction of crime. Pro-active police actions such as these will soon end as the NYPD and individual officers come under challenge for bias-based profiling. Since the law permits full attorney fees and expenses, this financial bonanza will keep attorneys employed for years to come at taxpayers’ expense. Contrary to the assertions of Councilman Mark Weprin, these bills will not make our streets safer, they will put a serious crimp on proactive policing and will turn the focus of law enforcement away from the most vulnerable neighborhoods. That is why the nation’s most respected Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, the PBA and the Chairman of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee are opposed to this measure and do not want our city to backslide into the morass of crime and despair it once was.

GOT Clan Run Through Queens

and finished just before the work day started. According to one report, they plan on creating a House Targaryen run when they visit Chicago later this month.

CONFIDENTIAL

One Queens resident is taking his running to show his love for the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones. Gene Lu, who lives in Jackson Heights, has started a Tumblr, runofthrones.com, where he and fellow show enthusiasts draw a run route using the logo of the show’s clans on Google Maps. The maps are posted to that Tumblr site so people can do the runs as well as create their own maps. His latest creation was in the Borough, creating a run that covers several neighborhoods in southern and central Queens, including Woodhaven and Forest Hills and is 15 miles long. It also cuts through Cypress Hills Cemetery. The map replicates the logo of House Stark, one of clans on the show. They completed the Queens run on July 19. They started it at 5 30 a.m.

One Year Run A Little Twitter Parody Love While hard at work and checking my Twitter newsfeed, this QConf reporter could not help but notice a new follower – ‘Jimmy No Brainer.” This phony account, meant to take a jab at Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), even has the Councilman’s face as its main photo. It appears the account holder

has quite the sense of humor too. Here’s his advice for noisy neighbors: “Try earplugs! I picked up a set today and they are a-mazezing. Wore them on the subway and couldn't hear a thing (almost)!” he tweeted. Looks like this Jimmy No Brainer guy may be on to something.

By Any Other Name...

The family roller coaster at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which opened on May 3 and was featured on the cover of our Summer Fun Guide, was ﬁnally named last week. Adapted from suggestions by Elizabeth Holmes and Aquilles Nunes, the new ride was christened the Corona Cobra Coaster over the weekend. Photo by Ira Cohen.

A dare on Twitter led to an 18-year-old Long Island teenager's run across Citi Field during Major League Baseball’s All-Star game Tuesday night. D ylan McCue-Masone tweeted on Tuesday night: “1000 RTs and ill run across the field…#ASG #CitiField.” He saw more than 4,000 retweets. Before he ran across the field, he asked his encouraging Twitter followers to pray for him because his mom would kill him once she found out the tweet has become her worst reality. McCue-Masone thought he could run across and no one would notice because he was wearing a Robinson Cano Yankees T-shirt. It is too bad no one on the field thought his prank was funny. His dare will cost him hefty legal fees and thousands of dollars in civil penalties. McCue-Masone was arraigned earlier this week in a Queens Criminal Court on multiple charges, including third-degree criminal trespassing. He might not be able to start college as planned because if convicted, he could face up to one year in jail.

MUSICIANS OF QUEENS

Viola Laidlaw

Viola Laidlaw loves to sing, and that is something made apparent after only encountering her once. Her passion for music and singing is one that has stemmed from a childhood of compliments. “I’ve been singing for about 12 years now. When I was 10, I would sing and dance in front of my friends and they’d tell me how good I was.” Being told she had a beautiful voice took her far. In junior high, she began to enter talent shows, and entered the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, where she would later go back to perform, to better hone her skills. “I had a mentor at the time; David Wattley. Marjorie Elliot came after him. All of my mentors encouraged me to sing the best that I could,” she said

Among the Jamaica native’s inspirations are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Bob Marley and Michael Jackson; these are apparent in the types of songs she loves to perform. “I love singing jazz and R&B. I also try to throw some classical, opera and Caribbean into my performances,” she said. In her career, Laidlaw has performed at various nursing homes and open mic events. She went back to former mentor Marjorie Elliot’s home in Washington Heights to perform for her colleagues, sang for music promoter Tony Bellizzi and even had a stint at the Apollo. Her performances can be found on YouTube. Though currently local, Laidlaw would love to travel the world someday. “I’d love to go to Japan; they really appreciate jazz over there. Or even down to Florida, where I can sing for my family living there,” she said. Singing also acts as a sort of therapy for her. “I love to sing very much. I love to entertain. It’s very healing. I’ll sing while walking down the street and love every second of it,” she added. Laidlaw will be seeing a return to Washington Heights in November for another jazz filled performance.

Keeping In Shape With so many wonderful and filling restaurants lined through every neighborhood in Queens, you would think they would lead to expanding waistlines. Luckily, Queens residents are better at keeping in shape than many of their New York neighbors. According to the Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene, Queens comes in fourth place out of the five boroughs in terms of obesity rates, with 23 percent of its population listed as such. The Bronx came in first, with 30 percent of its population being listed

as overweight or obese. Staten Island is in second with 28 percent and Brooklyn was third with 27 percent. The only healthier borough than Queens is Manhattan with a low rate of 14 percent obesity. All of the statistics are from 2011, the latest year available. Given the large amount of outdoor summer activities, several busy parks, playgrounds, gyms, public pools and sports fields, it should come as no surprise that Queens citizens are out and about all year around. Besides, there was nothing good on TV anyway!
