Workers Rally For Paid Sick Days York are faced with the same problem everyday and asked the City Council to take action on their behalf. According to MRNY, Alvarez currently has a wage and hour lawsuit against the restaurant pending with the Dept. of Labor.

“There are a million New Yorkers who do not have paid sick days,” said Ferreras. “If someone is sick, especially in the restaurant industry, and they go to work, they are serving New Yorkers. This is a health concern.”

The Paid Sick Time Act was first introduced in the City Council in August 2009 and has since gained the support of 37 co-sponsors. While business lobbyists voiced strong concerns against the act, Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) decided not to support the bill and it was never brought to the floor for a vote.

If passed, the legislation would require businesses with more than 20 employees to provide nine paid sick days. Businesses with five to 20 employees would be required to offer five paid sick days, and small

businesses would only need to provide five unpaid, job-protected sick days.

“For workers without paid sick days, losing pay or even a job can

be as easy as catching a flu,” said Jose Schiffino, spokesman for the Queens Working Families Party. “It’s time for Speaker Quinn and the Council to pass

the paid sick days bill.”

By MEGAN MONTALVO On July 30, a crowd gathered in front of Taqueria El Idolo at 91-07 Corona Ave., Elmhurst, to rally in demand for a paid sick days law.

Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-Elmhurst) joined the protest, which was comprised of small business owners, the Queens Working Families Party and members of the immigrant organization, Make the Road New York (MRNY).

As the crowd chanted, in the words of Cesar Chavez, “Si, Se Puede,” meaning “Yes, We Can,” former employee Celina Alvarez shared her experience of being fired from the restaurant after taking a brief medical leave of absence.

“I was a loyal and dedicated employee at Taqueria El Idolo, when a serious heart problem forced me into the hospital,” Alvarez said.

“When I recovered enough to go back to work, I found out there was no job for me to return to. The hospital stay saved my life, but cost my job.”

During Alvarez’s testimony, she noted that many workers in New

Crowley Kicked Off District Leader Ballot All Assembly districts in Queens are divided into two parts, with a male and female district leader presiding over each.

“She (Councilwoman Crowley) does not have the support of the Democratic organization of Queens County,” Reich told the

comment as of press time.

Running unopposed, Councilwoman Crowley fell several dozen signatures short of the 500 valid signatures needed to qualify as a Democratic district leader, an unpaid post that involves petitioning for the Democratic Party.

Her objector, Frank Bolz, is from the same law firm as the Democratic Party’s executive secretary, Michael Reich.

Back in May, the Democratic Party nominated Crowley Albert Baldeo and Eleanor Errante as district leaders in the 38th A.D. U.S. Rep. Crowley’s decision not to back his cousin stirred controversy in political circles because Councilwoman Crowley was an incumbent district leader and the Democratic Party rarely rejects a Democratic incumbent. Baldeo and Errante are still running in Part B of the district, but no Democratic Party-backed candidate is running in Part A.

On July 28, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) married his long-time partner Dan Hendrick. Dressed in muted silver and tope suits, the grooms exchanged rings and vows at Studio Square in Long Island City, a year after same-sex marriage was approved in New York.

Van Bramer has been a life-long resident of Queens. The pair met in 1999 at a fundraiser for a gay community center in Queens.

By ROSS BARK AN The Crowley family feud is not over, and now one family member is paying the price for defying another.

Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (DMiddle Village) was booted from the district leader ballot in the 38th Assembly District on Tuesday, a minor but symbolic demonstration of how enraged U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights), the Queens Democratic Party Chairman, is at his younger cousin.

Elizabeth Councilwoman Crowley angered the Democratic Party when she chose to run in the 6th District Congressional Primary against their chosen candidate, Assemblywoman Grace Meng (D-Flushing). On June 26, Councilwoman Crowley finished a distant third behind Meng and Assemblyman Rory Lancman (DHillcrest), who came in second.

By ROSS BARK AN An apparently seamless rezoning of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven has been lauded by elected officials and Community Board 9, but some Richmond Hill civic leaders and business owners are fuming.

Approved by the City Council on July 25, the City Planning Dept.’s rezoning mixes the downzoning of residential areas in both neighborhoods with the upzoning of commercial corridors along Atlantic and Jamaica Avenues. Advocates of the rezoning — which is roughly bound by Park Lane South to the north, Eldert Lane to the west, Liberty Avenue to the south and the Van Wyck Expressway to the east — believe it is crucial for preserving the “character” of each neighborhood, ensuring one- and two-family homes are not overwhelmed by the construction of massive homes suited for several families. While building size will be limited in certain areas of the neighborhoods, larger commercial development will be encouraged near busy arteries.

One business owner, a self-described son of Richmond Hill, stood

Rezoning Plans Upset Business Owners

Plans to rezone Woodhaven and Richmond Hill has caused concern among local business owners. in his empty catering hall and wondered, aloud and angrily, who wanted his neighborhood to be rezoned and if his Guyanese and Indo-Caribbean neighbors would be permanently kept from carving out a boomtown like their Asian neighbors to the north.

Chris Sewnarine, owner of the

Richmond Hill catering hall Krystal Hall, was not one of the civic leaders or elected officials who hailed last week’s sweeping rezoning of portions of Richmond Hill and Woodhaven. Business owners and civic leaders are seething in Richmond Hill, a melting pot of South Asian, Guyanese and

Indo-Caribbean immigrants.

Sewnarine said the property he owned would start to lose value because he or a future owner would never be able to build a bigger structure upon it. Large immigrant families who want to live together, he argued, will also be forced to choose between paying a fine to the Dept. of Buildings and kicking their kin out of the house.

“I’m going to say it as bluntly as I can: maybe white folks are different, their kids turn 18 and they move to California,” Sewnarine said. “I am from a West Indian community. At 18, my kids were still living with me. At 20, they were still living with me. I want to know, when my kids get married, they’ll be right here with us.”

Perhaps the most vocal critic of the rezoning is Vishnu Amadeo, executive director of the Richmond Hill Economic Development Council. He frets that houses of worship in Richmond Hill, particularly Hindu temples known as Mandirs, will not be able to expand to meet the needs of growing congregations. Some have begun to close, and Amadeo wants, at the minimum, an ex-

emption for religious institutions to be included in the rezoning.

He would prefer if the whole rezoning was overturned.

“This whole thing was developed and conceived by Community Board 9, not by City Planning, but City Planning got railroaded into it,” Amadeo said. “Community Board 9 did not have due consultation with the community. The members are not reflective of the community.”

Amadeo knocked CB 9 for not having enough South Asian representatives, though Mary Ann Carey, district manager of CB 9, said that the board worked painstakingly for several years to ensure that community members in both neighborhoods approved of the rezoning process.

“The rezoning was discussed ad nauseum, we held meetings in Woodhaven, Richmond Hll and Ozone Park,” Carey said. “We don’t appreciate someone coming out of blue to criticize us. Where were they when we were doing all the work?”

Miller Faces Primary In 38th District

By ROSS BARK AN An underdog candidate for the 38th Assembly District has come out swinging against his primary opponent, claiming that many do not know their representative.

Etienne David Adorno, who is battling Assemblyman Mike Miller (D-Woodhaven) in one of Queens’ few Democratic primaries, said that when he went petitioning to qualify for the ballot, only a handful of people knew who their assemblyman was.

“When I told them it was Mike Miller, they thought I was talking about the Miami Heat shooting guard,” Adorno said.

Miller, who was elected to represent the 38th Assembly District in 2009, said that Adorno was knocking on doors not located within the boundaries of the district.

“Most of them came from outside the district,” Miller said. He opted not to try to boot the 27-yearold Adorno, who served as an aid to Councilman Robert Jackson (DManhattan) and is a member of Community Board 9, from the ballot.

Adorno, a Woodhaven native, is attempting to unseat an incumbent

with a significant cash advantage, though he believes the district’s demographics favor him.

Miller, with more name recognition as an incumbent and the backing of the Queens Democratic Party, has a little more than $17,000 in his campaign account. Adorno has $787.

The new 38th Assembly District is roughly half Hispanic and Adorno hails from its Hispanic core, Woodhaven. The district, besides Woodhaven, includes parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Richmond Hill and Ozone Park. A Spanish speaker, Adorno said he believes he can connect with residents who may not identify with Miller, a Glendale resident.

Miller disagreed.

“We do have people who speak Spanish in our office,” Miller said.

“We also have friends and supporters who help with Polish and Italian speakers. I represent everybody.”

Historically, the assembly district has posted low turnout numbers and Adorno will face the significant hurdle of pulling votes from

Assemblyman Mike Miller a demographic that does not vote in high numbers during local primaries. Political observers have said that unless a Hispanic candidate is on a citywide ballot, drawing the emerging voting bloc in large numbers to the polls will be a difficult task.

If elected, Adorno hopes to address the issues of crime in Woodhaven, the affordability of neighborhoods in the district and

the improvement of education in New York State. Recently, Hispanic representatives like U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Ridgewood), State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-Corona) and Assemblyman Francico Moya (DJackson Heights) all announced they were endorsing Miller, a development that Adorno believes shows that the Democratic Party thinks Miller is vulnerable because the endorsement is coming relatively

early in the primary race. Election Day is Sept. 13.

“As nice a guy he is, he hasn’t really done any outreach at all to Latino community.

None of them know who he is,” Adorno said.

Miller, a former branch manager at Tiger Federal Credit Union, was elected in 2009 in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Anthony Seminerio. Seminerio had resigned after pleading guilty to taking large sums of money from hospitals through a consulting firm. He later died in prison. Miller overwhelmingly won reelection in 2010. More conservative than his Democratic colleagues, Miller voted against the Marriage Equality Bill of 2011 that legalized gay marriage in New York.

“I’m very confident people can recognize that they have somebody dedicated, to preserving their quality of life,” Miller said. “They’ll be coming out in large numbers to vote for Mike Miller.”

Edit Page In Our Opinion:

Time For A Fix Getting around Queens shouldn't be this hard. Whether it's the congested highways - some of the worst in the nation - or the manic maze that is the public transit system in Queens, it can be quite a feat to get from place to place.

It's an old story by now, but one that is worthy of being told again. Our elected officials need to devote time, money and whatever other resources they require to improve the borough's infrastructure. The recently-announced restorations of Queens bus lines is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough to ease packed subway trains and buses, or to limit what should be unnecessary transfers to get where we need to go.

If straphangers are expected to accept a fare hike in the coming year, they should get something for their money.

In Your Opinion: Give Us A Break To The Editor: Could the media please give us a break with endless grisly accounts of the Aurora killings? I understand it was a tragedy, and our sympathies lie with the 70 innocent victims.

But, we also need to appreciate that 86 Americans are killed by firearms every day, and nearly 4,000 are killed prematurely by chronic diseases linked with consumption of animal products and lack of exercise.

So, let's replace the vacuous hand-wringing over the Aurora tragedy with constructive personal steps to lessen the greater tragedies facing us every day.

Librar y Saved To The Editor: On behalf of all the Friends of Queens Library, we would like to thank Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the New York City Council for adopting a budget this year that saves our library and our wonderful library staff!

Thanks to the City Council's leadership in this year's budget negotiations, all libraries in Queens will continue to be open a minimum of five days a week without any further

reduction in service hours.

We would like to thank Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Speaker Christine C. Quinn and all the members of the New York City Council for the restoration of funding made to Queens Library in this year's budget. We would like to especially thank especially Queens' own Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, our friend and Chair of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Libraries, for his leadership as well as Delegation Leader Council Member Leroy Comrie for his unwavering support. We also recognize Vincent Gentile, the chair of the Select Committee on Libraries, who has worked tirelessly on behalf of all New Yorkers to preserve library service, and Council Member Domenic M. Recchia, Jr., the Chair of the Finance Committee, for delivering a sound budget.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of libraries in these tough economic times. The public library is, first and foremost, primarily a community center which that provides critical services for many that who might not be able to find them elsewhere, from free computer and Wi-Fi access and job placement assistance to afterschool programs and tutoring. In a variety of ways, the public library creates social capital and expands opportuni-

Get Rid Of It To The Editor: I am pleased to know that there are efforts to remove the statue "Civic Virtue" from the prominent position it now holds at the corner of Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens.

This was an action that the Center for Women and previous Queens women had advocated over 15 years ago when Queens Borough President Claire Shulman was in office.

At that time, she was also in favor of moving it but needed funds to finance what would require extensive funds.

Since that time, other public officials have also expressed their wish for removal. Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, former Congressman Anthony Weiner and Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras, who is also head of the Council Women's Issued Committee, have all joined the many who find it insulting to women.

We are happy to know that the family of MacMonnies is going to pay for the statue to be restored and moved to Green-Wood Cemetery.

We look forward to a good resolution of what has been a contentious issue.

We would be thrilled to see some work of art that celebrates the tremendous contribution of the outstanding women in public service as Geraldine Ferraro and many other women that Queens has produced.

To The Editor, Mr. Ken Paskar's letter( "Grow-

ing Threat" ) is commendable for recognizing that it is not only the birds around NYC airports which present a threat to air travel safety, but also other variables which must be factored into the equation. As President of Friends of LaGuardia Airport, he states rightly that the culling of geese is a Band Aid approach to solving the complex problem of bird strikes. Constructing a large garbage transfer station next to LaGuardia Airport is inviting the very catastrophe which U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said she was seeking to avert by expediting the unprecedented slaughter of 711 resident Canada geese inside the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on the morning of July 9. Because of her legislation, the sanctity of a protected area-free from human molestation-has been violated. The Department of Agriculture's killing unit, Wildlife Services, is now poised to conduct further culls/ kills of other species of birds perceived as hazards to aircraft-as they have been doing for the past four years throughout the city's parks where resident geese have been the primary target.

What is skewed in Mr. Paskar's letter, as is with all agencies at all levels in addressing this issue, is our failure to see the whole picture. It is the wildlife community which is the casualty, as usual, of the "growing threat" of human encroachment in our endless annihilation of their space, their homes and families , and their lives.

Whether from vehicle strikes, boat strikes, or airplane strikes, the human impact on the wildlife community is almost unimaginable. We have killed animals into extinction and to the edge of extinction, and now we are killing those few who have been successful. Let us be reminded that the greatest threat to all life on this planet and its biodiversity is human overpopulation. Shall we explore a human-mitigation program, perhaps targeting only the handicapped or very old , or very sick. Unthinkable? We are human beings, not "animals." And therein lies the problem.

Mitch Kronenfeld: Classified Manager

To The Editor: State money has dried up to support non-profits that educate and enlighten residents all over New York. This is the third year that state money (which is taxpayer money) has been unavailable to enable many valuable organizations to function effectively.

In Northeast Queens, organizations like the Alley Pond Environmental Center, the Poppenhusen Institute, the Bayside Historical Society, the Queens Historical Society, the Queens Botanical Garden and the Queens Farm Museum, among other non-profits, fight to survive so that they may continue to serve and educate the community at large. Depending on the organization, they teach us all about our history and our environment.

An idea has been floated by community leader and activist James Trent that would bring financial assistance to these and other groups.

Money generated by the Racino in southern Queens is taxed at a high rate. This money is supposed to be used in part for educational purposes. So is the money brought in by the state lotto. Since these nonprofits educate the public through school visits and other programs, shouldn't they be entitled to a portion of the money brought in through gambling venues?

If you agree with this point of view, please contact Governor Andrew Cuomo at (518) 474-8390, State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos at (518) 455-3171, Assembly Majority Leader Sheldon Silver at (518) 455-3791 and your local state senator and assemblymember to urge them to move forward to use this source of state funds to support our non-profit organizations that contribute so much to our quality of life. The future of many of these organizations are at stake and some may close down if they are unable to receive financial support.

The Senate and Assembly Primary Races To Watch

Page 8 Tribune Aug. 2-8, 2012 • www.queenstribune.com

By MICHAEL SCHENKLER In the most confusing election year in modern times, we are now into phase three of the primary season.

With a Presidential and then a Congressional Primary behind us, we look to Thursday, Sept. 13 (originally scheduled for Tuesday Sept. 11 but changed in deference to the date), the third and final State Primary will be held to select party candidates for Assembly, Senate and party positions.

Tens of millions of dollars in extra costs for extra primaries later, one would expect that a redistricting year (every tenth year) would bring many competitive races and challenges to incumbentrs.

Not so in New York.

While we chose to report here on five races, only four are competitive and only two of those four competitive races have an incumbent running.

While money is not the end all or be all in local primary races, it does play a factor. Moreover, the ability of a candidate to raise funds may indicate both strength of their network and willingness to work hard at fundraising. One would expect incumbents – and other office holders – would have a great advantage over challengers and newcomers when it comes to bucks in the bank.

Remember, any candidate who has raised large sums of money in a short period of time is likely to be able to continue raising sub-

stantial funds. Those who have raised an unimpressive amount are not likely to surprise us with big bucks going forward.

All financial data is from campaign reports as of July 12, 2012.

15TH SENATE DISTRICT Eric Ulrich, (R-Ozone Park) will win this primary with ease. In what I’ve said is an example of “Queens Republicans eating their young,” the feuding half of the par t y has decided to chal lenge Ulrich, causing him to use financial resources against Juan Reyes, instead of conserving for the winnable main event in this swing seat against incumbent Democrat Joe Addabbo Jr (D-Howard Beach).

Ulrich has raised triple what Addabbo has raised in the most recent reporting period. Look for the State Republican Senate to outspend their Democratic col legue s significa ntly. Ulrich should easily win this Primary and enter the General as the favorite against Addabbo.

16TH SENATE DISTRICT This race has started smok-

ing already, as businessman John Messer targets longtime incumbent Toby Stavisky in a newly-drawn district which is half Asian.

Stavisky, who has never had an Asian on her staff is now reaching out to the Asian community.

Messer, married to a Chinese woman, is expected to win the Asian portion of the district and has banked significantly more funds than Stavisky in the reporting period.

This one is up for grabs.

office at least three times in the past and always seems to be a bridesmaid. The energetic campaign of newcomer Nily Rozic looks to do it to him again.

The former chief of staff of Manhat tan Assemblyma n Brian Kavanaugh has outraised and spent more cautiously than the longtime pol.

We would be surprised if this is the race which surprises this year. Watch Rozic.

10 SENATE DISTICT Incumbent State Senator Shirley Huntley is being challenged by sit t i ng Councilman Jame s Sanders Jr. (D-Laurelton) The two office holders have in their campaign accounts a poultry $22,271 and $15,488 as of the last filing.

Unimpressive efforts by both candidates in this newly-drawn distr ict which now i nclude s the Rockaways helping Sanders.

It’s a toss-up.

ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 40 As Grace Meng continues her historic Congressional campaign, a wild melee is taking shape to replace her.

ered the slight frontrunner. Ethel Chen, who has been seeking office for more than a decade, will take some of the Chinese votes from Chen.

Koreans Ron Kim and Myungsuk Lee will divide their ethnic block. Look for Kim’s efforts to knock Lee off the ballot in order to become competitive in this race.

Finally, longtime pol Martha Flores-Vasquez with little or no money and comic book store owner John Scandalios round out the field. With four Asians in the race, perhaps an ethnic upset could be had in this largley Asian seat, but it would take substantial funding to pull out voters. Neither Scandalios or Flores-Vasquez seem to have any.

Someone will have to do some impressive work to take this away from Yen Chou.

Stay tuned.

Primaries Set For Meng’s Assembly Seat

By WAYNE DEAN DOYLE With the ballot set, the contest for Assemblywoman Grace Meng’s (D-Flushing) seat is beginning to heat up.

On the Democratic side, Yen Chou, the Democratic Partybacked Ron Kim, Ethel Chen, Myungsuk Lee and Martha FloresVasquez are all still in the race.

Comic book store owner John Scandalios, who vowed to spend less than $1,000 on his campaign, was booted from the ballot on Tuesday. The Republican Party-backed Phil Gim and Sunny Hahn will compete in the Republican Party.

Chou, a former employee of Assemblyman David Weprin (DLittle Neck), won the Democratic primary for Comptroller John Liu’s vacated City Council seat in 2009 but was defeated by then Republican Peter Koo (D-Flushing).

Lee is a Korean businessman and newspaper owner but has drawn criticism for his role in the advertisement of sexual services within his newspaper. Lee later publicly apologized, stating he and his staff had no knowledge of the advertisements.

The Democratic Party has backed Kim, a Korean-American

Ron Kim

Yen Chou

and Flushing resident who served as a former ombudsman for Govs.

Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson.

Chen, a Chinese candidate like Chou, is a longtime Flushing Democrat and retired librarian. She will battle with Chou for Chinese votes.

“It’s not all about the money, if the community doesn’t know you, then you need money to advertise your name, but my community knows me,” Vasquez said. “I will be relying on donations from close friends and family. I think I have objections, but I do not know as of yet who from.”

Korean candidate Hahn is run-

ning against the Republican backed Chinese candidate Gim, a race which will be divided by ethnic roots.

Kim, has already obtained the backing of Comptroller Liu. Kim’s election war chest is healthy with a reported $88,000 raised already.

“I have obtained 2,200 signatures and they were sent in July 9, so far I do not know of any objections to my signatures. We haven’t done the real fundraising yet but so

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

Queens This Week Democratic Club Forms In Richmond Hill Yearning for more political representation, political and civic leaders in Richmond Hill have formed the Richmond Hill Democratic Club, hoping to spur Councilman James Sanders (D-Laurelton) to victory in the State Senate and carve out a City Council district for Richmond Hill alone.

On the City and Assembly level, Richmond Hill does not lie in the heart of any one district. A Richmond Hill/Ozone Park Democratic Club does exist, but Ali Najmi, an organizer of the club, wants Richmond Hill alone to have a political voice.

"There are a lot of young people who are going to be involved in the club, less experienced people who want to be active in their community," Najmi said.

A priority for the club will be the triumph of Sanders in the State Senate primary against State Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica). Najmi said Sanders has reached out to people in the Richmond Hill community and is more actively invested

in their destiny. The new Senate district will include most of the neighborhood. The Richmond Hill Democratic Club will hold a 6:30 p.m. dinner on Aug. 3 at the law offices of Kawal Totaram, located at 126-03 Liberty Ave. The club will also take an active role in the redistricting process of City Council districts. Its ultimate goal will be the creation of a council district for the South Asian population of Richmond Hill. Losing out on discretionary spending from elected officials, Richmond Hill struggles for small but crucial improvements, like extra garbage cans along Liberty Avenue.

"I think, one, there needs to be more political organizing in Richmond Hill," Najmi said. "It's seen a lot of new people come into it over the last 20 years. When you look at the politics of Queens, Democratic clubs are ways for communities are to be noticed and paid attention to. They're great avenues to advocate for your community."

Plumbers, Steamfitters Back Ulrich In Pr imar y Last week, two unions backed Councilman Eric Ulrich's (D-Ozone Park) State Senate bid, lending him another advantage against his Republican primary opponent, Juan Reyes.

Ulrich, backed by State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (RLong Island), appeared with the senator in Howard Beach last week to accept the endorsements of the Plumbers Local 1 and Steamfitters Local 638. Speaking with Skelos and union representatives at Plumbers Local 1 union hall on Cross Bay Boulevard, Ulrich will face the Queens Republican-backed attorney Reyes in the primary. The winner will challenge State Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) in a new 15th Senate District that is more conservative-leaning than its predecessor.

"This is a very personal endorsement," Ulrich said. "As [Steamfitters Local 638 President] Pat [Dolan] put it, my grandfather is a member of the steamfitters. Our job is to make sure they keep working and

can afford to have a decent quality of life."

More moderate than his opponent Reyes, Ulrich at times sounded like a Democrat, championing a minimum wage increase, prevailing wage laws and organized labor.

Reyes has attacked Ulrich for these views, but Ulrich has a significant fundraising disadvantage in the primary. Ulrich is one of only two Republican city councilmen in Queens and an ally of Tom Ognibene, the former city councilman who attempted to take over the Queens Republican Party last year.

Led by Phil Ragusa, the Queens GOP has repudiated Ulrich, though New York State Republican money is flowing to Ulrich's campaign coffers.

"This is a critical election, not necessarily about Republicans or Democrats," Skelos said. "It's about moving the state forward and creating jobs."

Skelos did take time to knock Democrats in Albany for being "dysfunctional" during the David Paterson administration. He also singled out some Democrats for abstaining from voting to expand the State's DNA database to include anyone

convicted of a felony or penal law misdemeanor.

Though unions typically back Democratic candidates, these endorsements of Ulrich appeared tied to his support of organized labor and the fact that his grandfather "Buddy" Ulrich is a member of the steamfitters union. When asked why the plumbers union was backing Ulrich and not his potential Democratic opponent, Addabbo, Plumbers Local 1 Business Manager John Murphy said support for Ulrich transcended party lines.

"Eric [Ulrich] doesn't follow polls, he's responsive and effective," Murphy said, not mentioning Addabbo's name.

Queens Tops Boroughs In Solar Panels

By MEGAN MONTALVO Queens is well known for many things: the World’s Fair, the Mets and the Unisphere, among others. As of July 25, the borough added solar energy to that list with the release of a new report from the Center for an Urban Future.

The report, entitled “Here Comes the Sun,” showed that from 2003 to 2011, the borough had installed a

total of 120 solar energy systems throughout residential, commercial and government buildings.

A total of 190 solar energy systems were installed throughout the rest of the City, with 108 installed in Brooklyn, 52 in the Bronx, 47 in Manhattan and 33 in Staten Island. Jonathan Bowles, spokesman at the Center for an Urban Future, attributed the leading number in Queens to the ease of accessibility for installation.

“Queens has a lot of buildings that make it easy to install panels because they are low to the ground with big, flat roofs,” said Bowles. “There is incredible potential for Queens to build on its early success.”

While the report brought good news for Queens, it also marked that New York City falls behind the rest of the State in the overall number of installations. As detailed in the report, Suffolk County was first among all counties in the State from 2003 to 2011 with 3,416 solar installations. Nassau County was second with 1,432 installations, followed

by Ulster County with 349, Westchester with 305, and Dutchess County with 303.

“The cost of install- ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ing a solar panel system in New York City is much higher than anywhere else in the country because of logistical barriers and lack of access to roofs,” said Bowels. “Overall there was some real momentum in the last year.”

According to the report findings, Queens nearly doubled the amount of installations it had made in previous years with a total of 58 installations completed in 2011. Between 2003 and 2010, only 62 solar installations were completed.

Last month, community economic development center One Flushing, worked with students at Queens College to conduct a study that surveyed the amount of roof space available for solar panel installations on multi-family buildings in Mitchell Linden and commercial roof tops in greater Flushing.

The study revealed that a total of 22,000 square feet of public roof space was available in Flushing while 197,000 square feet of residential roof top space in Mitchell Linden could feasibly host solar panels. If installed in the Mitchell Linden area alone, the study concluded that a savings of $408,984 in energy costs could be made annually.

“Flushing is very representative of many neighborhoods in Queens,” said John Choe, spokesman at One Flushing. “On paper it may look very daunting to install these panels, but within five to six years, you can have a return on your investment.”

Choe noted that while the borough may not be fully utilizing the capacity of space for solar panels, he believes the passing of the New York Solar Industry Development and Jobs Act of 2012 would help take advantage of the resources.

If passed, the bill would call for 3,000 megawatts of State power supply to come from solar energy and is speculated to create thousands of jobs for the installation work.

By MEGAN MONTALVO It was just a few years ago when gourmet cupcakes were all the rage. After Oprah added Sprinkles Cupcakes to her list of favorite things, the overnight sensation officially became a hit and gave way to several chain stores from Beverly Hills to the Upper East Side.

Now that the market has become successfully oversaturated with a string of cupcakeries, New York City has welcomed what may be the next big thing – gourmet marshmallows. Owner of Mitchmallows, Mitchell Greenberg, has been at the forefront of the budding trend and is already taking the candy market by storm.

As long-time television set designer and former graduate of Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Clown College, Greenberg decided to merge his talents by diving head first into the candy business.

“I was always a fan of candy,” Greenberg said. “After about three months into the process, I realized ‘Oh, they’re not marshmallows, they’re Mitchmallows.’”

Soon after the name came

Mitchmallows offers an eclectic variety of puffy treats to appeal to diverse tastebuds. to him, Greenberg launched mitchmallows.com in January 2011 and has since expanded his business from online domestic orders to catered events with his upscale s’mores bars.

According to Greenberg, the idea behind the business originally started as an accident.

“One day I was wondering, ‘Gee, how do you make marshmallows?’” Greenberg said. “After

making my first batch, they were amazingly delicious and unlike anything I had bought in the store.”

From outward appearances, the mallows seem modern yet unassuming. The cubed structure holds the integrity of multiple tastes and gives a unique take on an old-fashioned classic.

After working with variety of flavors at the Entrepreneur

Space at 36-46 37th St. in Long Island City, Greenberg perfected popular flavors like java, pretzels-and-beer, chocolatechipotle and maple syrup pancake.

Although Greenberg notes that much of his work comes while in the kitchen, he says that he also looks forward to re-educating the public on the popular treat. “Mitchmallows make a great snack and a great desser t,” Greenberg said. “People are a little hesitant at first, but once they taste it, they think it’s delicious.”

On the heels of the success he has already experienced online, Greenberg says he looks forward to starting a mobile flagship food truck.

“I would love to have a M i t c h m a l l o w - m o b i l e ,” Greenberg said. “It would be great during the winter so we could offer the Mitchmallows with hot chocolate and s’mores.”

In addition to going mobile, Greenberg is also working on creating a three-course meal made entirely out of marshmallow.

“I know I can do it,” he said.

Marshmallow Maven Seeks To Expand

Mitchell Greenberg “I’ve done enough experimenting with savory flavors and I can see it in my head already.” Once developed, Greenberg said he hopes to release the full course meal in a boxed set available for online purchase. He is also in talks with gourmet food stores in hopes of beginning in-store distribution.

Queens’ Transit Trouble

Page 16 Tribune Aug. 2-8, 2012 • www.queenstribune.com

Last week, elected officials and civic leaders in Astoria demanded the W train and QM22 bus route return to the borough, while a similar contingent in northeast Queens called for a bus extension to whisk residents of Bayside, Flushing and Whitestone to lower Manhattan.

In the middle of the borough, an abandoned Long Island Rail Road line has become, for some transit advocates, a last ditch effort to drastically fix the flaws of a transit system that has frustrated residents for generations.

Bus lines meander across the entire borough; east-west train lines stop dead in their tracks at Jamaica. Even with an intricate bus system, traveling throughout Queens, depending on the destination, can be an exercise in confusion and futility: a roughly seven mile trip from Jackson Heights to Richmond Hill, without an automobile, requires an F train and a Q10 ride that can take upwards of 30 minutes. For the borough’s less affluent residents, traveling in any direction simply takes much more time.

Manhattan Transfer Those more affluent residents want additional service, too. Residents and elected officials have banded together to demand a commuter bus extension that would allow people in Bayside, Whitestone and Flushing to travel by bus to lower Manhattan without transferring to another bus or train. The QM20 bus leaves from Bay Terrace, traveling via the Clearview Expressway to Flushing before terminating in midtown Manhattan at 57th Street and 3rd Avenue. The QM7, departing from Fresh Meadows, reaches Pearl Street in downtown Manhattan.

According to Whitestone resident Ali Fadil, this tur ns the

hushed Fresh Meadows neighborhood into a parking lot.

“The MTA said to me, ‘look this is a great, we would love to do it, the only issue is money and right now the MTA has no money.’” Fadil said.

Since the MTA’s financial outlook is now somewhat rosier, though still precarious, Fadil and elected officials like Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone) and State Sen. Tony Avella (DBayside) have lobbied MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota to create the new downtown service.

The MTA now has $29 million to allot to new or expanded services, but a QM20 extension will not be included, according to an MTA spokesman. The Q24, Q27, Q30, Q42, Q36 and Q76 will all have extended or restored service.

Despite forecasting slight sur pluses over the next few years, the MTA is relying upon biennial fare and toll hikes, no labor cost increases and tax revenues, at times unreliable, to remain consistent. Governor Andrew Cuomo should be doing more to shore up the MTA’s finances himself, argued Michael Murphy, a spokesman for the public transit advocacy group Transpor tation Alter natives.

State and local subsidies account for only 7 percent of the MTA’s budget. Dedicated taxes kick in another 36 percent.

“The solution is monetary,” Murphy said. “Until there is a secure, sustainable source of revenue and fund expansion, we won’t see any improvement.

People will keep paying more for less.”

Integration Despite repeated calls for the restoration of the W train, a service that allowed more people to access local stops between Astoria and Lower Manhattan,

By ROSS BARKAN Though the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last month unveiled a $13.1 billion preliminary budget that did not slash any services— and actually extended a train line — the cries for more train and bus service in Queens are as fervent as ever.

Some are calling for the return of the W train to help ease public transit woes in Queens. the MTA said that there are no plans to make the W a reality again because the Q runs on the same route. The MTA will also not restore the QM22 bus, which provided express service between Jackson Heights and Midtown Manhattan via Astoria. Ridership, MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said, was just too low.

Transportation experts agree that public transportation in the borough is not adequate. But they do not believe a simple restoration of a train line like the W is the remedy for slow, unreliable ser vice. One quir k of Queens transit is its segregation: a more expensive Long Island Rail Road and a much cheaper subway system both serve Manhattan-bound commuters. George Haikalis, president of the nonprofit Institute for Rational Urban Mobility, believes integrating the LIRR and subway system into one fare structure is the first step towards rectifying the many peculiarities of Queens public transit. With a fare increase due for next year,

Haikalis said that now may be the time for the MTA to begin contemplating such a proposal.

“Right now, we have a system that causes people to take long bus rides to subways and use overcrowded subways,” he said. “We really should be moving toward a one city, one fare kind of structure. A Metrocard would be good for a bus, subway and commuter rail. Riders could pick a combination of routes that work.”

Haikalis said he wants the MTA to “think regionally.” He envisions Long Island City, now filled with glittering hotels and upscale restaurants, as a regional hub that could handle trains speeding from Long Island through to New Jersey. Enhancing the train capacity of Penn Station, rather than undertake a costly LIRR extension to Grand Central Station, would have been a smarter move for the MTA, Haikalis said.

Transit exper ts have also proposed a train line, known as the Triboro Rx, which would

Rail Revivals Smothered with dead leaves, fallen branches and decadesold detr itus, the Rockaway Beach Branch represents, for some transit advocates, the last great hope for a public transportation revolution in the borough.

Trains have not thrashed across the tracks, spanning from Rego Park through Ozone Park and continuing to the Rockaways, in a half century. Were the line to be revived, Queens would have the nor th-south rail link urban planners called for decades ago; New York’s master builder Robert Moses scuttled plans for railways along the Van Wyck Expressway, as well as commuter rails that would have ran down the middle of the Long Island Expressway and linked up with subways in Queens.

Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Far Rockaway), along with Assemblyman Mike Miller (DWoodhaven), have begun pressing for a return of the Rockaway Beach Branch, shuttered in 1962 because of a trestle fire and declining ridership.

The MTA’s budget does not call for sweeping investment any time soon. Goldfeder is hoping Genting, the international gambling giant that runs the Resorts World Casino at the Aqueduct Racetrack, will help finance a rail revival that would bring more patrons to Ozone Park. Commuting times for south Queens residents could be slashed dramatically if the line were revived, but despite Goldfeder’s delivery of 2,500 signature petitions to the MTA, Port Authority and the governor, any hope of reviving the line is many years away.

Community Board 9 Chair Andrea Crawford has spearheaded efforts to turn the former rail line into a “Queensway” equivalent to Manhattan’s HighLine. With the rusted rails running across parking lots of an apar tment building and little league ball fields, land would need to be condemned for a new rail line, making a greenway a less expensive alternative.

Still, residents in neighborhoods like Forest Hills would prefer the rails to be left alone.

The potential noise of people or machines, they have said, would be just too much.

Prof To Pen History Of St. John’s

“People are going to be surprised and delighted of how St. John’s succeeded in educating people from around the world.”

– Dr. Frank Brady

and says he has seen it grow.

“I was captivated by the whole story,” he said. “I am honored to chronicle the story.”

Brady is co-writing the biography with his wife Maxine. The couple plans to split the interviewing and writing of the biography in half.

“If we were not writing it together, I would not have taken it on,” Brady said.

They are both bestselling authors who have written biographies before. Brady’s recent biography, “Endgame: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Bobby Fischer,” about the chess prodigy, was a bestseller and Maxine is the associate editor of the Tobin College Review of Business.

Brady is the chairman of the mass communications department at St. John’s, teaching communication arts and journalism. He has also taught at New York University, Columbia University and City College.

St. John’s was founded in 1870 in Brooklyn and has a unique history. Brady said St. John’s was originally formed to educate immigrants of New York. “It is amazing

how it pulled itself together with such little money,” he said.

“I believe in the mission of St. John’s and what they are doing,” Brady said.

In 1933, St. John’s changed from a college to a university when they began to offer advanced degrees. It then spread across the country and then the world. There are now St. John’s University campuses in Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, Rome and Paris.

“It is a biography of an institution, what makes it tick,” Brady said.

Brady is currently researching for the biography of St. John’s and will begin writing soon. He says he will continue to research doctrines, letters and archives of St. John’s.

Brady said he is planning on interviewing numerous people including faculty and alums who provide interesting information and stories.

Brady already has people in mind that he wants to interview for the book. He said he plans to interview famed basketball coach Lou

in his late 80s who has been with the institution for 50 years, will also be interviewed.

Brady said people interested in reading both history and how an institution succeeded will enjoy the biography.

Many graduated students from St. John’s have gone on to great careers. Brady says that the outcome, what happens to students after graduating from a university, of St. John’s has resulted in numerous students now working in government, many as judges and even one in Parliament. Other graduates have become Olympic and professional athletes, Fulbright scholars and CEOs. “People are going to be surprised and delighted of how St. John’s succeeded in educating people from around the world,” Brady said.

The sale date for the book is set for December 2014, but it could come out sooner, Brady said.

The Mount Sinai Queens Cancer Program is part of the Mount Sinai Cancer Network – a growing consortium of practices and offices providing firstclass cancer care to various New York City communities. The Hospital’s cancer program, overseen by Dr. Howard Greenberg and recently joined by Dr. Che-Kai Tsao – both of whom specialize in medical oncology and hematology – is an affiliate of the Tisch Cancer Institute at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, one of the top cancer hospitals in the United States.

The Mount Sinai Queens Cancer Program offers access to multidisciplinary care, including medical and surgical oncology as well as a full range of diagnostic and supportive care services.

Drs. Greenberg and Tsao both express the hope that by growing the Mount Sinai Queens cancer program, Queens residents will no longer need to leave their neighborhoods in order to receive top-tier cancer treatment.

“We will serve as an extension of the Tisch Institute for those in Queens,” Dr. Greenberg said. “We’re situated in an area where the demographic includes elderly people.

They, as well as other groups, don’t want to travel into Manhattan for any reason.”

Now they don’t have to, thanks to the opening of Mount Sinai Queens’ cancer treatment practice across the street from the Hospital in Astoria.

The practice offers integrated treatment for patients with all types of cancer—services include cancer diagnosis and cutting-edge treatment intended to maximize effective outcomes while minimizing side effects.

Certain procedures however, such as bone-marrow transplants, will continue to be treated at the main campus in Manhattan.

“We want to provide first-class cancer care to all residents of Queens,” Dr. Tsao says. “Modern cancer care is highly complex, and we can provide this service right here in our borough.” “I grew up in Rego Park, and I think that of all the boroughs, Queens—and particularly this area of Queens—has been underserved in terms of cancer care..”

The cancer program at Mount Sinai Queens aims to remedy that.

The Cancer Program is accepting n e w p a t i e n t s f ro m a l l p a r t s o f Queens. Dr. Greenberg, director of the cancer program, has more than 30 years of clinical experience practicing both in Manhattan and Queens. Dr. Tsao joined the practice in July, upon completion of a fellowship in hematology and oncology at The Mount Sinai Medical Center. He’s been the recipient of merit and research awards during the past two years from the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Introducing the all-new Jitterbug® Plus.

We’ve made it even better… without making it harder to use.

All my friends have new cell phones. They carry them around with them all day, like mini computers, with little tiny keyboards and hundreds of programs which are supposed to make their life easier. Trouble is… my friends can’t use them. The keypads are too small, the displays are hard to see and the phones are so complicated that my friends end up borrowing my Jitterbug when they need to make a call. I don’t mind… I just got a new phone too… the new Jitterbug Plus. Now I have all the things I loved about my Jitterbug phone along with some great new features that make it even better!

From its beginning in 1907 as a shelter for homeless elderly, the Parker Jewish Institute has evolved into a nationally recognized center for the health care and rehabilitation of adults. Parker provides post-acute care, short-term rehabilitation, longterm care, and a comprehensive network of community health care programs to more than 7,000 adults each year. The Institute is also a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals, and an important research center for studies related to aging.

An independent 527-bed, not-for-

profit institution, Parker offers the most compassionate long-term (nursing home) care, distinguished by the highest levels of skilled nursing, comprehensive medical services, professional social work services, therapeutic recreation, and an onsite pharmacy. Parker is at the vanguard of patient-centered culture change and the introduction of new technology to long-term care.

In the mid 1980s, Parker was the national pioneer in restorative therapy for older adults. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parker is New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most active post-acute and subacute care center for older adults.

An integral part of its continuum of care, Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community health programs include medical model

adult day health care, a social model Alzheimer center, long-term home health care, and community hospice.

These community health programs help adults avoid institutionalization and remain where they most want to be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the comfort of their own homes, in their communities, with their families and friends.

In 1975, Parker established the first Geriatric Fellowship Program in the nation, and continues to be one of the leaders in the training of geriatric health care professionals.

EmblemHealth Cares About Family Caregivers Are you a family caregiver? If you provide regular and unpaid care to a loved one, you are a family caregiver.

Caregivers need care too. It’s why we created the Care for the Family Caregiver initiative 10 years ago as part of our Integrative Wellness program.

The goal: Offer information, resources and support that caregivers need to avoid becoming care recipients. We recognize that: • The number of care recipients and caregivers grows daily. There are nearly 66 million family caregivers in the U.S.—nearly one in every three people. With aging Baby Boomers, shorter hospital stays and longer life expectancies, this number will grow.

• Family caregivers are often the forgotten or silent patients.

Many caregivers endure physical, emotional and economic challenges without adequate support.

Most need help in order to maintain their own health and quality of life.

EmblemHealth’s Care for the Family Caregiver initiative recognizes the health needs of the “silent patients” and is designed to serve as a resource. We encourage you to see us as a supportive partner in your caregiving journey.

Information and Resources for Today—Hope and Health for Tomorrow.

Queens Celebrates Satchmo’s Birthday

By MEGAN MONTALVO For all his life, the late jazz great Louis Armstrong believed his birthday was on the Fourth of July. It was not until 1987, 16 years after his death, that a researcher discovered Armstrong’s baptismal cert ificate documenting his actual birthday one month later, on Aug. 4.

Although the jazz legend may no longer be with us, his legacy and memories live on at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Corona.

To commemorate his life, the museum will hold its annual free big ba nd concer t on Satur day,

Aug. 4 at 2 p.m. as part of its Summer with Satchmo concert serie s.

The performance will showcase a 30-piece band of musicians from the York College Blue Notes Summer Jazz Program.

The tuition-free, audition-only jazz per formance program caters to upper-level high school students throughout the City. This weekend, the students will be playing classic movie theme songs from films like “Shaft,” “Finding Nemo,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Toy Story.” In addition to the blockbuster classics, the band will also play Armstrong’s hits “Do You

A native of Mumbai, Diana moved to the U.S. in 2005 to pursue a Master’s Degree at the University of Southern California.

“I came here to work,” she said. “I worked out there for a year, and I decided to continue my physical therapy work in New York because, well, who doesn’t want to come to New York?”

She finally decided to go into modeling after she won a local pageant.

“I applied, and as luck would have it, I won,” she said.

After venturing into modeling, Diana has been able to take on a few offers that came her way, including some fashion ramp shows, working on a documentary that played at a Sikh film festival.

When not hard at work or in front of the lens, Diana can be found at the movie theater at Parsons and Archer in Jamaica or hanging out in nice weather in the north end of Bayside.

She’s done research in biokinesiology and sports therapy; Diana has also learned Braille, sign language and is working on her Spanish. Maybe there’s a cricket or football (soccer) league in Queens that can use a multilingual therapist.

She’d be into it.

“I love sports, it doesn’t matter what kind,” she said.

The Horror!

Middle Village native David Lee Madison stopped by the Tribune offices last week to talk about his upcoming film, “Mr. Hush”, set for a DVD release on Aug. 7.

David wrote and directed the horror flick, about a devoted husband and father who has been marked by evil and darkness. The film stars horror icons Stephen Geoffreys (“Fright Night”), Brad Loree (Michael Myers in “Halloween: Resurrection”) and Steve Dash (Jason in “Friday The 13th Pt. 2”). Madison said his movie is “a great throwback” to some of the great horror movies of the 1980s.

While he was here, Madison filmed some scenes for an extended cut of the 2010 film “Emerging Past,” the haunting story of a Trib photographer, written and directed

by Thomas Churchill, who also served as a producer for “Mr. Hush.” The scenes featured Trib

"Mr. Hush" is available this weekend reporters and editors going about the business of putting out a newspaper.

The release of the extended cut of Emerging Past is yet to be determined. But “Mr. Hush” will be avialalbe as of this weekend via Netflix Red Box and major DVD outlets.

Queens’ priciest condo has officially hit the market. A two-story waterfront penthouse in Long Island City is going for $3.25 million. The threebedroom, four-bathroom penthouse is up for sale at The View, the roughly 180-unit condo developed by TF Cornerstone. Such a high price is expected to bring a lot of attention. . . and very rich people.

Confidentially, New York . . .

Movin’ On Up The world said goodbye to Sherman Hemsley last week, the man who graced our television screens for 12 years as the opinionated George Jefferson. We first met George on “All in the Family” as the neighbor of the bigoted Archie Bunker in Astoria. After finally getting a piece of the pie, the Jeffersons fled Queens and moved on up to the Upper East Side.

We can only hope that Hemsley has found a new deluxe apartment in the heavenly skies.

What A Man Peter Vallone has been playing the super hero. The Councilman who we called Batman two weeks ago, was out last weekend, saving little girls from drowning at the Jersey Shore - there just is no stopping this animated politico.

The councilmember’s brother has even claimed the aging "Hasselhoff on a Harley," can walk on water.

Many of the Vallone fans took to Facebook, after Pete boasted “Holy crap my brothers and I just had to save 2 girls swimming after the beach closed and lifeguards were gone scary stuff but everyone’s ok thank God. Keep an eye on your kids people the ocean is nuts right now and don’t swim without the guards!”

Wonder if he wears a mask in the water.
