Queens Deadline Aqueduct Awarded:
End Nears On Decade-Long Process By DOMENICK RAFTER The long-delayed Aqueduct video lottery terminal project may be just months away from becoming a reality. In a letter to Gov. David Paterson Tuesday, State Lottery Director Gordon Medenica strongly recommended Genting New York's bid to develop and manage the site. "It is with genuine enthusiasm that the Committee unanimously recommends Genting New York as the winning vendor. Our strong recommendation, based on the merits of the proposal, was vastly reinforced
by Genting's financial offer of $380 million as an upfront licensing fee," Medenica said Calling Genting's proposal "impressive" and "far superior" to other bids seen in previous processes, the Lottery urged state legislative leaders and the governor to approve the project. "Genting took nothing for granted - they respected the very rigorous selection process that we developed after the missteps of the past," Medenica continued. "They understood the business risks that a winning bidder is required to accept, and they have a

rounding communities looks bright," he said. Assemblyman Mike Miller (D-Glendale) urged Genting to keep its promise to be community-orientated. "To ensure utmost accountability, Genting needs to make good on its promise to be an exemplary neighbor to Queens' families and to conduct its business operations to the highest standards possible," Miller said. "I feel that Genting will prove to be a good choice because they are responsive to community concerns." Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer (DRockaway Park) said she believed this was the end of the long process. "Genting bid was different than past winning bids," she said. "They had to sign a memorandum of understands and follow strict procedures. They are much more organized, have more experience in the industry, and had a much more transparent bid." She said the deal could be finalized by the weekend, and that some issues, such as security and subway access still had to be worked out. She expected Speaker Silver to approve the proposal. The decision comes only days after an Upstate judge threw out a lawsuit filed by Aqueduct Entertainment Group, the consortium that was awarded, then lost, the bid to develop the racino last winter. AEG plans to appeal the ruling. When the state legislative leaders and the governor approve Genting's bid, the company aims to have the VLTs operational by mid-winter, with the entire development completed in 18 months.

Test Standards Tweak Causes Scores To Fall By JESSICA ABLAMSKY Tighter proficiency standards resulted in lower scores for City students in grades three through eight on the English and Math tests, with students in Queens performing among the best in the City. "According to the new, tougher benchmarks, roughly 54 percent of city students in grades 3-8 are meeting or exceeding math standards, while just over 42 percent are meeting reading standards," said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. "Parents, teachers and principals should understand that these numbers do not mean our students are performing any worse than they were last year; it just means that there is a new, tougher benchmark for measuring our success." State officials raised the proficiency standard between 8 and 34 points, depending on the test and grade level, to align them with college-ready performance. "Today's lesson is that we have a long way to go - with higher expectations, our toughest and most exciting work is just beginning," said City Department of Education Chancellor Joel Klein. "Our goal has never been just proficiency, or even a high school diploma; our goal is to graduate all our students college and career-ready. It's time to come together to help our students meet this great challenge." Parents will be able to check their child's score through the DOE Web site as of Monday, August 16.

In addition, they are highly sensitive to the community issues, labor requirements and social concerns that a project of such scope encompasses." "Genting New York is pleased with The Lottery's recommendation of our proposal which would mean an enormous economic boost to New York's economy," said Stefan Freidman, spokesman for Genting. The only thing that stands in the way of the proposal moving forward is final approval by leaders in Albany - the Governor, Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Speaker - who have so far been publically noncommittal. "We are reviewing the recommendation and believe it is imperative to get jobs created for the local community and dollars into state coffers as soon as possible," Austin Shafran, spokesman for the Senate Majority Conference said. Shafran would not say if or when Senate leaders would officially endorse the bid. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver's office also said he was "reviewing the recommendation." "We hope The Lottery's recommendation will be endorsed by the Legislature so we can immediately get to work creating jobs, preventing layoffs and delivering more than $15 billion in economic benefits to New York over the next 30 years," said Freidman. State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach), whose district includes Aqueduct, said the decision from Lottery signals a potential end in sight for the nine-year process.

Film Fest Honors History-Laced Script
Page 4 Tribune Aug. 5-11, 2010 • www.queenstribune.com
Dennis Cohen's credentials earn him the title of nuclear engineer, physicist and Ph. D. student - making his passion for screenplay writing all the more atypical. The Rego Park resident's script, "Caroline and Johann: A Love Story" recently earned third place at the Alaska Film Festival, giving Cohen hope for growing success. "What I've got, in the hands of the professionals, I think it could win an Academy Award," he said. The screenplay is the summation of three year's work, several drafts and much persistence. After originally dabbling in writing with a friend, Cohen began work on a screenplay about Andrew Jackson in 2004. The resulting epic proved a bit too hefty and overwrought, but taught its author a valuable lesson. "The story was too spread out," he said. "You could make six or seven movies out of it." For his next work, Cohen's creative approach did not change. It was still an initial outpouring of ideas into a marble notebook, at the rate of half an hour per night. "Put aside a half hour every day. In three years, you can actually come up with something," he said. "It's like white heat." The draft was then rewritten several times in its transfer to a computer. His second screenplay had a different historic muse - Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark and Norway, sister of King George III of England.
Rego Park resident David Cohen successfully made the uncommon jump from nuclear engineering to screenplay writing with his work "Caroline and Johann: A Love Stor y."
The tale has the usual blend of royal infidelity and treachery, as Matilda cheats on her husband King Christian VII with his doctor and confidante Johann Struensee. Cohen discovered the story while reading a book and instantly felt it merited the Hollywood treatment. "Even without modernizing it and helping it, it's such a great story I'm surprised
nobody caught on," he said. The trickiest part of transforming historic events into dramatic form is keeping some semblance of accuracy. Cohen feels his screenplay remained true to its origins. "I would say that the outline of my story follows accurately what happened," he said. A Hoboken Film Festival event held at Cohen's school, the Stevens Institute of
Technology, led him to reach out to the event's vice chair and actress Mary O'Rourke. In the three years since, the two have maintained a working relationship via email with O'Rourke providing encouragement and advice. After some much-needed trimming, reassessments and supportive rejection by the Nantucket Film Festival, it finally got some recognition, with the Alaska Film Festival's prize. "Once I got the award, I went to Marissa Tomei's agent, but I need to see her lawyer," he said. "Lot of things are opening up because I got the award." Cohen plans to continue editing the screenplay, trimming it down before submitting it to more film festivals. And the issue of wearing too many hats, as a nuclear engineer, physicist and all? Not an issue. "People have done it; some people have done it very well," the 63-yearold said, pointing to Lewis Carrol as an example. "Maybe I'm a late bloomer." Cohen now fights to contain his excitement, and is focused on finishing another project he started. "I promised my advisor no more screenplays until I get my Ph. D.," he said.

State Budget Finally Approved By DOMENICK RAFTER New York State finally has a budget. Four months after it was due, the New York State Senate passed the final elements of the annual budget after dusk Tuesday night along part y line s, with every Democrat supporting it and ever y Republican opposing, calling the taxes in the bill “damaging.” The prime-time budget vote came after three Democratic senators; Pedro Espada Jr. (D-Bronx), Tom Duane (D-Manhattan) and Bill Stachowski (D-Buffalo) held back their suppor t because of lack of action on their priority bills. In the end, all three reached an
agreement with the leadership and voted in favor of the budget. The total $136 billion budget reinstates the sales tax on clothing up to $110, a higher tax on tobacco, and $100 million from a limit on charitable deductions for 3,500 taxpayers who earn more than $10 million a year. No borrowing was done to close the budget gap, instead the state will sell nearly $6 billion in bonds, and the so-called “soda tax” favored by Gov. David Paterson was rejected. The proposed tax on hedge fund managers, which was favored by more liberal members of the legislature as a means to close the

Arizona Protest:
Tribune Photo by Ira Cohen
By JOSEPH OROV IC Flushing’s gentrification and transformation into a de facto melting pot has been a source of pride and, on a few unfortunate occasions, tension. But rarely has it been the focus of scholarly attention. For 17 students at Queens College, Flushing became a rather large lab. The college scholars, with homes ranging from coast to coast, took an intense week-long look into the experience and contributions of local Asian Americans last week, in a summer institute called “Exploring The Global In The Local.” “Queens is a place where we can study multicultural societies,” said Madhulika Khandelwal, Director of the school’s Asian/ American Center and professor of Urban Studies. The students’ week involved excursions into Elmhurst, Flushing, Jackson Heights and Richmond Hill. They spent the better part of their time observing gentrification,
$9.2 billion deficit instead of a sales tax, also died. The tax would have been levied on hedge fund managers who work in New York but live out of state. Contributing to its defeat was Connecticut’s Republican Gov. Jodi Rell, who promised to open up her state for hedge fund managers who looked to avoid the tax, potentially depriving New York State of their busine ss. Also rejected was a plan to allow wine to be sold in supermarkets. That proposal was strongly opposed by liquor storeowners, who feared loss of business.
Hundreds of activists took to the streets, marching from Corona and Flushing to converge at Citi Field on Friday to protest the Arizona immigration law. The Arizona Diamondbacks were in town to play the New York Mets.

Edit Page In Our Opinion:
Reasonable Skepticism Two key parts of the financial future of New York were ironed out this week, and we're still not sure how to react to either of them. First, the budget. Almost a record-setting delay brings us a budget that has a very modest overall increase, which means that the people and programs of the state are going to hurt. Funding will be down for social service programs, taxes on clothing will return and nobody is really going to know until after the September Primary how a lot of the funding is going to shake out. In short, there may be a budget passed, but we have little faith that it was the right one. Second, there is Aqueduct. Though a preliminary scan shows a great offer on the table from Genting, we have little faith that a shovel will actually go into the ground. Political infighting has screwed up this process before, and we simply won't believe it until somebody drops that first quarter into a video lottery terminal. We're glad to see progress, but our faith in the process has been so shattered that we doubt any of it to be true.

Weiner Explains To The Editor: You may have seen how angry I was on the House floor last week. But the story behind that 110second video clip is one of years of delay and some outrageous tactics by my Republican colleagues who have denied heroic Americans important relief. This should make you angry, too. Thousands of people came to Ground Zero after the attacks. They weren’t called. They volunteered to come without extra compensation. They weren’t complaining. They were doing what Americans at their best do - helping in a crisis. But they were also putting their lives at risk. Despite assurances from their government that the air was safe to breathe, we now know that they were inhaling dangerous smoke and debris. Nine years later, 900 of these first responders have perished from 9/11-related diseases with many more heroes across the country dying every year. Last Thursday, we had a chance to take an important step forward by finally bringing a bill to the floor of Congress that would have provided treatment, screening, and compensation to the thousands of Americans who sacrificed their health and safety both on 9/11 and during the cleanup that followed. In what should have been a legislative slam dunk, the bill was defeated on a simple up-or-down vote with only 12 republicans voting in favor.
Twelve. Just 21 additional Republican votes would have been enough to secure the bill’s passage. It was frustrating enough to hear some Republicans honestly say they didn’t believe these people deserved any help. For example, Bob Goodlatte of Virginia even said, “people are injured, people are killed all the time. We do not have compensation funds for them. We have normal procedures, normal processes through which people receive assistance.” But what really made me upset were the comments of my Republican colleague from Long Island one of the sponsors of the bill - who failed to use his time during debate to urge his colleagues to put down their partisan swords for a moment and vote for the bill. Instead, he did the opposite. He barely mentioned the bill and instead attacked Democrats for bringing the bill up on the part of the day’s calendar devoted to non-controversial bills. You heard right. Democrats were attacked not because of the merits of the bill, but because of what part of the calendar it came up on. The goal was to make the issue of 9/11 health just another partisan issue. Obviously, this made me angry. It made me angry to see my colleague provide cover so that other Republicans could vote “No” for phony reasons. It made me angry that he spent his energy defending Republicans who voted against the measure, instead of pleading with them to vote “Yes.”

It made me angry because, at some point, we have to draw a line in politics and say that doing what’s right matters. If that’s not protecting the people who risked their health to help on 9/11, then when? The appalling reality is that this has become the Republican way of doing business. On every important issue, they bob, duck, and weave - complaining incessantly about an unfair process when in fact their abiding objective is to stop anything from passing. Just last week they submitted a list of objections to the already scaled back small business tax credit legislation that has been bottled up in the Senate. After the Democrats agreed to make changes to the bill, the GOP leadership said they would still filibuster it. Instead of a real debate about how to address the challenges we face, obstruction has become a partisan Republican tactic that they apply, no matter the issue. And while Republicans claim they want an open process full of consultation, debate and amendments, the truth is that these complaints are just a subterfuge to disguise the fact that Republicans don’t want to pass bills in the interest of scoring political points. Sure, I was angry last week. I’m still angry. Maybe if my colleagues in Washington saw issues like health care for 9/11 responders as more than just a game, we’d all be better off. I know more than a few first responders who have so much toxic stew in their lungs that they can’t yell even if they wanted too. I’m sure they and their families would give us all an earful. But they should start with the 93% of Republicans in Congress who voted “no” on a down-payment on the debt we owe the victims of the attacks on our nation. So when I heard a fellow New Yorker get up and defend Republicans who would deny first responders care on the grounds of process, it’s not surprising I got angry.

Stick To Poetr y To The Editor: What is wrong with Michael Schenkler lately? In the issue of July 22-29, he implies that Andrew Cuomo needs money to win the Gubernatorial race. As it is, he can win overwhelmingly without spending a dime. He is a grass roots favorite and there is only one way for Rick Lazio to beat him. If he can promise the senior citizens of New York a new lottery (modeled as Pennsylvania’s) Marcia Moxam Comrie, Contributing Editor Reporters: Sasha Austrie, Harley Benson, Joseph Orovic, Domenick Rafter, Jessica Ablamsky Editorial Interns: Rebecca Sesny, Stefan Singh Photographers: Ira Cohen, Michael Fischthal, Lee Katzman Contributors: Tom Allon, Melissa Hom, Michael VonDerLieth, Barbara Arnstein Art Department: Tania Y.

where at least 28 percent of revenues collected, by law, all goes to senior benefits, then he would win by a landslide. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 13 percent of New Yorkers are over the age of 65. Most have children and grandchildren who would vote for senior benefits going to senior centers, transportation etc. If every senior sent just $2 to the candidate who could deliver that, that candidate could win not only the Governor’s race but also the Presidency. With all due respect Michael, stick to poetry. Alan Jacobs, No. Valley Stream
Great Issue To The Editor: This is to say how much I enjoyed the July 29-Aug. 4 edition, “They Came From Queens.” Despite all the years I have lived here, I did not know some of the personalities had once called some town in Queens home. I wish to bring to your attention a correction and an omission. The address you gave as the home of writer Jack Kerouac in Ozone Park as 94-10 Cross Bay Blvd. is incorrect. It was 94-10 133rd Ave. Also, I was surprised that you omitted actress Mae West as a celebrity from Queens. Although born in Brooklyn, she lived for many years in Woodhaven, where she got her start in a nightclub on 80th Street which is still in existence. She did much vaudeville. In movies, her often ribald, but humorous, double entendres made her a hit in movies such as “I’m No Angel” and “My Little Chickadee.” They are as funny today as they were decades ago.

Save Millstones To The Editor: I am a direct descendant of the Payntar/Skillman Family, who once owned most of the land in and around what is now called Queens Plaza, formerly Dutch Kills. The Historic Payntar Millstones, were used to make flour for Washington’s Continental Army and is indeed a treasure and worth preserving. The Millstones are priceless and played an important part not only in the Revolutionary War but the old way of life in Dutch Kills. They are now languishing on a Queens Plaza construction site. The Greater Astoria Historical Society has done much research on these Millstones. My family and I really feel that these two Colonial Era Millstones, should be moved to an exhibit space within the Greater Alan J.

For Carolyn To The Editor: My reason for supporting Carolyn Maloney for re-election is simple: she’s the Congresswoman behind the Queens-Manhattan LIRR Connector. She has already secured billions –with a b – in Washington for the project. Not only will the new line improve transportation, it’s created thousands of jobs right here in Queens. When it comes to the economy, Carolyn is a national leader. She chairs the Joint Economic Committee, which is directing the government’s efforts to rebuild our economy. She was a major player in the success of the recent legislation on Wall Street reform and job creation. And she supported Obama’s stimulus plan, which is also getting people back to work here in Queens. Laura Cavazzini Astoria
Watch Out To The Editor: I walk dogs and care for cats in order to supplement my income and ride a bike to get to my clients’ homes. I can’t ride in the center of a street, as moving cars are there, and must stay to the side, where there are parked cars. One of the streets I ride on is Alderton Street, which has cars parked on both sides. Not only do I have to move to the side for cars to pass, I have to be very careful of drivers in parked cars suddenly opening the door of their car without ever looking to see whether a biker or car is about to pass. This happens almost every night. Do we have to wait for something tragic to happen? Merrilyn Wittlin, Rego Park
Cor rection In last week’s edition, a story about Forestdale Inc. on the local Forest Hills page misstated the nonprofit’s source of funding. The medical treatment for orphans is funded by Medicaid, not Medicare. We apologize for the error.

Koch Calls ‘Enemies of Reform’ to Task New York Uprising is a non-par tisan, independent coalition formed by former Mayor Edward I. Koch that advocates for meaningful government refor m across Ne w York State. Its mission is to put an end to corruption in Albany and reinstate the public’s faith in government by offering real, honest and sensible solutions that legislators and candidates can implement, adhere to and be held accountable for executing once elected. New York Uprising advocates for meaningful government reform in three areas, and has invited candidates to pledge support for specific reforms in each. Non-Partisan, Independent Redistricting: Elections are supposed to allow voters to choose their representatives, but New Yorkers have been denied true choice because elected officials have historically been able to draw district lines to choose their voters. New York legislative races are typically non-competitive because of these gerrymandered districts. Consequently, it is not surprising that New York State’s legislature has one of the highest rates of incumbency in the nation. It is our common desire to improve New York State Govern-
ment and the democratic proce ss i n the State by ensuring that redistricting pursuant to the 2010 Census be constitutional and fair. Responsible Budgeting: It is widely acknowledged that New York State’s budget process and practices are detrimental to the long-term future of the state. They produce budgets that are routinely late and include spending that outpaces inflation and revenue growth. To accommodate spending more money than they have, the leadership in Albany has often balanced budgets with gimmicks that push obligations into the future, resulting in structural imbalances and the accumulation of a crushing debt burden, an unhealthy share of which has been incurred to fund operating expenses. Simply put, we are living beyond our means. Ethics Reform: The public demands that their elected officials and candidates for public office maintain the highest degree of ethics while running for office and serving in government. They have not, to put it mildly. To reform New York State’s government, the enactment of comprehensive ethics legislation by the Governor, Assembly and the Senate is mandatory.

It’s Finally Over Four months and the budget left hanging, Against the wall, our heads were banging. Anger had led to our poetic frustration; Definitions warped, no rhyme syncopation. And really, there was no use of meter at all Michael Schenkler had a poetic ball. The day has come, so let's rejoice. He has to stop now - he has no choice. He promised it'd end should the budget be passed; These awkward rhymes will finish at last. We're glad it's over, but alas, Albany, though, can still kiss our ass. - Harley Benson

Albany Mulls Sale of Wine In Groceries By HENRY J. STERN We often complain about laws or conditions that we believe are wrong or unjustified. Sometimes we ask how these conditions are allowed to continue, when the injustice of the situation is relaHenry tively apparent. The answer to that question is often simple: the forces that benefit from the injustice have more influence in the legislature than those who suffer because of it. There are numerous situations in which a law or regulation benefits a small number of people, or businesses, at the expense of the general public. Those with a specific interest in particular situations hire other people, known as lobbyists, to influence the legislature on their behalf. Lobbying is a legitimate industry, protected to some extent by the First Amendment rights of individuals, and now, of corporations. It also professionalize s contact with lawmakers, which many people just do not know how to do. The problem is that lobbyists have a tendency to monopolize acce ss to legislator s. Ordinar y people, without the time or resources of a lobbying firm, often have a hard time getting through the door. They find it necessary to hire a professional in order to be heard. Also, lobbyists bring money, in the form of campaign contributions from their clients, which create a general feeling of
good will in the recipient toward t he donor. That is human nature, and if a legislator did not appreciate contributions he would be considered arrogant, indifferent and ungrateful. If he responded only to contriStern butions, he would be corrupt, but that is a difficult matter to prove. It is true that both sides to a controversy can hire lobbyists, and equal contributions by people with opposite interests can level the playing field for legislators’ favor. Unhappily, the general public interest is less likely to organize itself than a specific commercial group, which is likely to have a direct financial interest in the particular piece of legislation. This issue is clearly presented in Governor Paterson’s proposal to allow the sale of wine in liquor stores, on payment of a licensing fee to the state. The governor sees this as a way to increase revenue, and he estimates that the tax will raise between $147 and $300 million in the next two years. The fee would rise for stores with larger total sales, so large supermarkets would have to pay more. Thirty-five states currently allow the sale of wine in supermarkets, and according to a February 22, 2010 poll conducted by the Siena Research Institute, New Yorkers support making our state the 36th to do so by a margin of 58 per cent to 39 per cent. As even the most casual
sommelier knows, New York State is a producer of wine, particularly in the Finger Lakes area. If wine could be sold in more places, that would presumably help the agricultural portion of the New York State economy. Upstate needs all the economic stimulus it can get, and the increase in the sale of wine would benefit vineyards in the Finger Lakes region, among others. The people who would lose under the governor’s proposal are the owners of liquor stores, which now have a monopoly on the sale of liquor, although they can, and do, also sell wine. There are over a thousand independent liquor stores in New York State, many of which are so-called “mom and pop” stores, although we do not see too many moms selling liquor. Opponents of the bill say it will hurt their business, and it probably will. If people can buy wine at supermarkets, they will have the advantage of convenience as well as lower markup. At least one union objects. According to a press release from the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), circulated on the New York Stat e Liquor Store Association’s website, “This bad idea will force more than 1,000 stores to close across New York State - and that will mean the loss of hundreds of jobs for union members who sell and deliver to these stores. Fewer stores mean fewer delivery jobs and fewer sales jobs for our union members, both up-
state and in the New York Cit y region, since Big Box stores have their own networks already.” A winery owner makes a different argument against the bill. He says that liquor stores are not allowed to be open 24 hours, must pay their bills within 30 days and are subject to State Liquor Authority inspections. He sees teenage supermarket clerks selling wine to teenage drivers late at night, a scenario where car crashes and fatalities are predictable. The force of those objections is weakened by the fact that supermarkets are already allowed to sell beer on payment of a license fee to the
state. Teenagers can get drunk on beer, and often do. The general public interest, it seems to us, would be furthered by the availability for sale of wine in supermarkets. That is the law in 35 states. The wine in supermarkets issue is current. Legislators will make their decision on the basis of political and economic considerations. Unfor tunately, many will decide on the basis of how these factors affect them personally, rather than on how they affect the general public. That is Albany dealing with a substantive issue.

Queens Borough President Helen Marshall testifies before the Cit y Charter Revision Commission public hearing at Borough Hall July 28.
No Easy Answers In Charter Review because lulus only benefit the specific councilmen, but she disagreed on changing the way member items are allocated, because member items benefit the districts they represent. Commissioner John Banks warned against changing the way member items and lulus are allocated because the council recently became minority-majority for the first time and changing the rules would be unfair to its minority members. Commissioner Carlo Scissura recommended yielding more power to borough presidents and the Public Advocate, noting that they often receive more votes in elections than even the Speaker of the City Council, who yields more power. Scissura noted the former Council Speaker Peter Vallone Sr. recently told the commission that the borough presidents are not being utilized in the way the charter intended and their jobs need to be strengthened. On Community Boards, Scissura recommended the city give more resources to the boards so that they can better solve problems. "If you're going to have a CB deal with land use, we must give them the tools to deal with land use," he said. Commissioner Katheryn Patterson noted that there hasn't been a consensus on what to do with community boards from all fiveborough presidents, and their usefulness differs by borough. She suggested not touching the issue until a solution is found that could work citywide. On Election reform, the commission discussed non-partisan elections or the top-two system, where there would be no primaries, rather an election with everyone on the ballot, including independents, and the top two votegetters would go on to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. A similar system is currently in use in Washington State, Wisconsin and Louisiana, and just recently passed in California. Commissioner Cohen suggested a future commission looks at a top-two system after studying its effect in California. On non-partisan elections, most commissioners agreed that the current process is unfair to most voters. Commissioner Fiala said that there were more than three quarters of a million voters in New York City not registered in a party, thus meaning they could not vote in partisan primaries, which is where most elections in the city are decided. Borough President Helen Marshall came out against non-partisan elections in her testimony, saying it would allow "a veil of anonymity that allows the rich to benefit." Commissioner Ernest Hart said he was concerned about the effect non-partisan elections would have on the Voting Rights Act, but Commissioner Bishop Mitchell Taylor noted that a lot of minorities testified in favor of it. "Despite concern on minorities, I've heard a lot of testimony about non-partisan elections from minorities; based on what was heard and seen, we should be open to it," he said.

By DOMENICK RAFTER The Charter Revision Commission returned to Queens last week for another public hearing as the panel, assembled by Mayor Mike Bloomberg in March to propose changes to the charter to put before voters, winds down its work. The commission met in Borough Hall and discussed potential ballot questions on government structure, which will include the power of the borough presidents and potentially the future of community boards, as well as term limits and election reform, which could lead to non-partisan elections. Much of what was discussed came from suggestions from Citizens Union, a pro-reform group, in a report released this month. The commissioners said they felt some issues would not get adequate discussion before the commission makes its recommendations this month, and said future commissions would be needed. "We are saddened that we don't have the time to discuss other issues we find important," said Commission Chairman Matthew Goldstein. "We want to lay out the need for future commissions." Goldstein, who is the chancellor of CUNY, said that a question on term limits would appear on the ballot in November, but the specific language had not been decided. Term limits were discussed in testimony from Borough President Helen Marshall, who said she supported a three-term limit for executive and legislative positions. She argued that two terms is too little to get much done. The Queens Civic Congress, meanwhile, testified in favor of the previous two-term limit for all city offices that was twice approved by voters but overturned by the City Council in 2008. Commissioner Anthony Perez Cassino proposed making a council member a full-time job, eliminating lulus, the stipend given to council members when they become a committee chair, as well creating strict rules to make the allocation of member items fairer. Cassino said he believed the way member items are awarded and lulus erode confidence in government. Commissioner Stephen Fiala took issue with Cassino's suggestions. He warned not to use public anger as a means to change rules that may work. "I get the anger," Fiala said. "Anger is not a sufficient, nor advisable, participating event to take draconian measures" Cassino suggested a change in the way the City Council votes to raise its own pay. One suggestion was to make pay raises take effect in the next council session, meaning council members would have to run for re-election after they voted for a pay raise to get it, but Fiala said that doesn't preclude the council from voting for pay raises in the lame duck session after elections already took place. On lulus, Commissioner Hope Cohen agreed with Cassino that they should be eliminated. She said they aren't an acceptable way for the Speaker of the council to "herd cats"
9/11 Health Bill To Resurface In Sept.
Page 12 Tribune Aug. 5-11, 2010 â&#x20AC;˘ www.queenstribune.com
By DOMENICK RAFTER The U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass a bill last week that would provide health benefits to Sept. 11 aid workers sickened by toxins at the site in the weeks after the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which would also reopen the federal Victim Compensation Fund to provide economic relief to those harmed by the attack, got majority support, but failed to reach the two-thirds needed under a "suspension of the rules" vote, which was meant to prevent the Republican minority from offering amendments to the bill that Democrats feared would dilute it. The bill got 255 votes, including 12 Republicans, to 159 against. The vote set off a war of words between Democrats and Republicans on the floor of the House, with both sides charging the other of playing politics with the bill in a tense election year. House Republican leaders called the bill a "new entitlement program funded by tax increases and potential job losses." Democrats financed the bill through closing tax loopholes on foreign companies with subsidiaries in the United States, a move Republicans feared would lead to job losses. U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Bayside) criticized the GOP leadership. "I don't question your patriotism. I don't question your nationalism. I don't question your strategy or your tactics to take petty political advantage of this terrible situation. Sure, you're patriots. Sure, you have great oratory, but I have one question: Where is your decency?" Ackerman said on the House floor. Some Republican supporters, however, accused Democrats of playing political tricks
with the two-thirds majority rule, with some even accusing them of wanting the bill to fail. "They could pass the bill now [by majority rule] if they wanted to," said U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-Long Island), a cosponsor of the bill, "They wanted to make a cheap political point." U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Kew Gardens) slammed Republicans on the House floor in a fiery 90-second speech, mocking them for their complaints over the two-thirds vote, calling it a "cowardly view."
"You vote yes if you believe yes... if you believe it's the right thing. If you believe it's the wrong thing, you vote no," he said. But the bill's sponsor, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Astoria), struck a more conciliatory tone, thanking Rep. King for his support and assuring that this wasn't the end of the line for the bill. "We wanted to make every effort to pass the Zadroga Act before the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and I'm disappointed that it did
not achieve the two-thirds majority required for passage under 'suspension of the rules,'" Maloney said "But the 255 votes in favor of the Zadroga Act tonight show that we can and should pass this bill under normal rules when Congress reconvenes in September." If Congress fails the pass the bill, courts could settle the issue. Reach Reporter Domenick Rafter at drafter@queenstribune.com or (718) 3577400, Ext. 125.
Recalling Hiroshima, 65 Years Later By JESSICA ABLAMSKY On Aug. 6, 1945, America forcefully ushered an unprepared world into the nuclear age. The first atomic bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy," caused an estimated 66,000 casualties in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a second bomb hit Nagasaki, costing another 39,000 lives and effectively ending the war. Infamous B-29 bombers Enola Gay and Bockscar both left from a U.S. base on a small island in the Pacific, the Japanese protectorate Tinian - a pleasant place to fight a war. Until the occupation of Japan, Floral Park resident Louis Tomeo, 89, was stationed on Tinian as a cook with the 312th medical battalion. In preparation for the full-scale invasion of Japan, their job was to build a hospital. "It was never operational," Tomeo said. "They didn't finish it because we dropped the bomb first." Being stationed with 1,500 doctors and 1,200 nurses had its perks, like being far
from enemy lines. "They had their own private beach and we were allowed to use it," he said. "We'd go swimming every day. It wasn't so bad. It was just like a job. I don't think we even carried guns with us unless we were on guard duty." Still, the reality of war was ever-present. At least 100 planes took off every night, all headed towards the Japanese mainland for strategic bombing. "Every three minutes they'd take off," he said. "Some of them probably didn't come back." Fortunately for its pilots, the Enola Gay did. Like the rest of the American public, and the world, the soldiers on Tinian found out about the A-bomb after it was dropped. "They told us that the atomic bomb blasted everything, and killed a lot of the Japanese," Tomeo said. "We were happy. We were cheering about it. We knew they were ready to surrender." Although some people have since decided that the attacks were cruel, Tomeo remains adamant that it was the right thing to do.
"It saved a lot of American lives," he said. If we had not dropped the bombs, Tomeo might not have survived the invasion, his wife, Carol Tomeo, pointed out. For Tomeo, the occupation was uneventful. It took three days for his unit to reach the mainland. "We bombed Japan to the ground," he said. "We took a train down to the southern tip of Japan, Fukuyoka. Even there, everything was bombed except this one building we were in." Fukuyoka was filled with the same hustle and bustle as any other city, except the people were very poor. "I used to take them stuff from the kitchen," he said. "We would give candy to the kids and take care of them, as much as we could." When he looks back on the war, Tomeo is just glad to be alive.

By JESSICA ABLAMSKY Sparks Deli in Long Island City is making the grade. The well-kept premises earned owners Antonio and Jose Araujo the honor of being the first eatery in New York City to earn an A under the City’s new restaurant grading system, launched July 28. “We’re proud to see this A in our window,” said Jose Araujo. “Our inspect ion repor ts have been online for years, but now we can share the good news with anyone passing on the street. This sign says we care about cleanliness, and we care about our customers’ safety.” The new health inspection system requires owners to post grades of A, B or C near their entrance immediately following sanitar y inspections. Restaurants w ill be listed online as not-yet-graded until they receive a graded inspection. Those with As will be inspected annually. Those with lower grades will be inspected more frequently. To challenge results, a restaurant can post a grade-pending card until an administrative hearing with the Health Dept. An inspection score of 0-13 violation points is an A, 14-27 is a B and 28 or higher is a C. Restaurants with a C will be inspected once a month until they score below 28 or are closed by health department officials. Violations carry different points, depending on the problem and its severity. They include: public health hazard, such as failing to keep food at the right temperature, is a seven-point minimum; critical violation, such as rodents on the premises, is a fivepoint minimum; and general violation, such as improper sanitization of cooking utensils, is at least two points.

bicycles donated by Bike and Roll to canvass the entire neighborhood, enabling the DCA to cover a larger area faster. Volunteers armed with cameras and DCA forms for documenting advert ising informat ion – including where the adver t isement was spot ted, what type of ad it was a nd a brief description – headed out in teams of two at 11 a.m., after a brief training session on what to look for and where to look. “This is a dual purpose [campaign] – to educate and document,” said Amelia Erwitt, chief of staff for the DCA Office of Financial Empowerment. Volunteers passed out flyer s to anyone with questions about obtaining foreclosure help. “People are taken advantage of,” said Eli Luxama, a volunteer from Brooklyn. “The city government offers so much help but people aren’t aware.” The N YC Distre ssed Proper ty Consultant Law was recently passed in an effort to
stop predatory advert isements in neighborhoods hit hardest by foreclosure. The new law, aimed at printed materials, requires that ads state certain disclaimers, including no guarantee to stop foreclosure proceedings, that consultants cannot take money up front and consultants cannot retain original loan documents. This law will make it easier for loan scammers to be prosecuted for predatory practices and enables DCA to gather more information about the foreclosure ads and ensure they are in compliance w ith the law. New Yorkers facing foreclosure can call 311 and say “foreclosure” to be connected to the Center for Ne w York City Neighborhoods and schedule a free counseling session, as well as file complaints about loan modification scams.

A Tough Bargain:
Freshman Councilman Spearheads Flushing Commons’ Journey To Reality By JOSEPH OROVIC One of Flushing Commons’ more arduous chapters ended last Wednesday, when the City Council approved the $850 million development on the Muni Lot 1 site by a vote of 44-2. The move made the much-debated and controversial mixed-use project, along with its unofficial sibling Macedonia Plaza, a reality. But behind the curtain of legislative formalities emerges the portrait of a freshman Republican driving a tough bargain – in spite of his own early and vocal support of the project. Councilman Peter Koo (R-Flushing) walked away from the negotiating table with the Economic Development Corporation at least three times, demanding more money to support local small businesses affected by the Commons’ construction. In the process, the self-proclaimed “nice guy” gained $4 million worth of concessions by being a tough negotiator – maybe even a hard ass.
A Bad Start
Page 16 Tribune Aug. 5-11, 2010 • www.queenstribune.com
With the Land Use Committee’s vote looming, Koo met with the Bloomberg administration and EDC representatives last Monday. To his dismay, they came with literally no changes to their initial plans, and an even smaller will to negotiate. “We had a meeting […] to say, ‘Hey listen, here are some issues that are still not resolved,’” said James McClelland, Koo’s chief of staff. “They weren’t really ready to budge on the issues.” Koo ended the meeting by getting up and walking away, asserting his support was contingent upon a better deal for businesses and parking, McClelland said. The scene repeated itself twice over. Koo’s unusually early support of the project was misinterpreted as blanket
Comrie asserted Koo’s party affiliation did not give him a tougher time with any groups involved, despite the Council having only five Republicans. “The City Council tends to vote on issues based on issues,” Comrie said. “No one was looking to hurt Peter just because he was a Republican.” That day, Koo reached an agreement with the administration and EDC called the Flushing Small Business Assistance Plan. He began actively supporting the project within the CounFlushing Commons was approved by the City cil. Council last week.

The FSBAP represents a approval of Flushing Commons as a move closer to meeting some demands set forth by Flushing Commons’ detracwhole, according to McClelland. The junior councilman’s true intention tors.

Will To Negotiate
Opponents Remain
Last Wednesday morning, Koo requested the presence of Councilmen Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans), who chairs the Land Use Subcommittee, and Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens), head of the Zoning and Franchises subcommittee, during negotiations. “I think [Koo] navigated it smartly,” Comrie said. “Peter is a person that will allow people to talk so he can listen and understand. “At the end of the day, it was his community. He’s a businessman in his community. He wasn’t going to mess up in his own back yard.”
The additional $4 million still does not offer enough relief for some of the Commons’ naysayers, who feel the City is not sincerely helping small businesses within the vicinity of the construction area. “The Council members were clearly concerned with the affect on businesses and made an effort to improve the package, which is something we asked for a long time ago,” said Jim Gerson, CoPresident of the Flushing Coalition For Responsible Development. Still, Gerson said more could have been done, pointing to the final version’s lack of any recommendations set forth by the Community and Borough Boards, as well as its effect on local transportation. CB 7 Chair Gene Kelty welcomed the project’s approval – cautiously. “I’m happy that it passed but I think that there’s other stuff that needs to be included,” he said. “It may be a stumbling block for us. We’re talking about a big development that’s giving a lot to the city but it’s not giving anything back to the community. It’s a big project; it’s in a great location. We only got capped parking. What else does that do for us?” Some opponents also said Koo’s tough stance was aimed at not just the EDC but members of his own constituency. The Councilman’s open door policy, they claim, was selective at best. “All he had to do was talk to us and figure out a way how to save the businesses,” said Ikhwan Rim, head of the Union Street Merchants Association, jewelry store owner and one of the project’s most vocal opponents. “Very easily he could have helped us.” McClelland refuted the accusations, saying he has evidence of at least a dozen meetings Koo had with the project’s critics. “That is absolutely not true,” he said.

More Ideas and A Retuned Image Koo hopes the FSBAP is just the first step in supporting local businesses. McClelland said the councilman hopes to find funding and support for the beautification of Union Street, as well as expanding the boundaries of the Flushing Business Improvement District. In the meantime, the prolonged criticism within his community and obstinate demands at the negotiating table may have removed a bit of sheen from Koo’s nice guy image. The man does have a spine. McClelland has his own take on his boss’s tougher side. “When I was in the Army, we used to say, ‘Tempered by fire,’” he said.

Flushing Commons At A Glance •1.5 acres of public outdoor open space • 62,000 sq. ft. YMCA • 36,000 additional square feet of community space • 1,600 space parking garage • Up to 620 residential units • Up to 234,000 square feet of combined hotel and office space Flushing Commons is to be constructed at Flushing’s Municipal Lot 1, which is bounded by Union Street, 39th Avenue, 138th Street and 37th Avenue.
Helping Businesses What sealed the deal for Councilman Koo’s support? Benefits and aid valued at $6 million geared towards helping small businesses affected by Flushing Commons. Some have misconstrued the nature of the $6 million, thinking it will be a direct handout to local business. Not true. The largest chunk of money is allocated to the estimated value of an additional three years of capped parking rates, keeping Flushing Commons’ long term rate below market value for five years after the completion of construction, instead of the original two. Another $2.25 million will go towards the FSBAP, which will provide several small business services administered by a third party contractor that will report back to a Community Advisory Board. Who exactly benefits? Businesses in the following areas: • Union Street between Northern Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue • 37th Avenue between Main and Union Streets • 38th Avenue between Main and 138th Streets • 39th Avenue between Main and Union Streets

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy
of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires any-
one offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home.

Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. DATED: July 29, 2010 Steven J.

Ready To Bloom Models Of Queens
We first met Tina a couple of years ago when she was a sophomore at Cypress Hills Collegiate Prep on 105th Street, and in the years since, this Indian-Guyanese mixed beauty has continued modeling while finishing up her schoolwork at Jamaica High School. At the encouragement of her mother, Tina began to model at age 11, and is looking forward to taking on the role full time now that she is done with school. “I absolutely love taking pictures,” she said. “Modeling is also a great passion of mine. I strongly believe that I have potential and strength to work well in the modeling industry.” Tina credits her experience and attitude as what will propel her to success. “I’m very courageous in my work,” she said. “I am also a very outgoing and easy person to deal with. I’m hoping to build my portfolio and eventually make modeling a career in my life.” Whether its playing pool on Parsons Boulevard or just hanging out at Smokey Oval Park, Tina is enjoying life in Queens.

Donald’s Response
Tiger's friend Rachel Uchitel
Queens native Donald Trump
Chu Strikes Again
The notorious meter man who Astoria Waterfront Concert Series -- Councilman Peter Vallone Rocks: At the Central Vallone, Jr. rocks with UK based band The Lightyears. recently made headlines by giving Confidentially, New York . . . Her True Colors? Blue Long gone are the days of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” for Queens native Cyndi Lauper. The 80s icon released a new album, “Memphis Blues,” which showcases a sultry, soulful side to the 57-year-old. She also launched a tour in support of the CD, with a set list that begins with 10 blues covers, including B.B. King’s “How Blue Can You Get?” before reverting to her more familiar material. We at QConf commend Lauper for her newfound second life, and all the critical acclaim it has garnered. But we’re not ready to re-
place “She Bop” with “Romance in the Dark” yet. QConfidential, a selection of local celebrity, politics and gossip edited by Michael Schenkler. Contributors: Jessica Ablamsky, Sasha Austrie, Marcia Moxom Comrie, Mike Nussbaum, Joe Orovic, Brian Rafferty, Domonic Rafter. You can reach us by email at Conf@QueensTribune.com
If Donald Trump approves of you, he’ll welcome you with a royal red carpet, a suite in Trump Towers, champagne and caviar. Just ask Omarosa. The diva that appeared on the first season of “The Apprentice” was welcomed into the lap of Las Vegas luxury for her reality show the “Ultimate Merger.” On the other hand, The Donald, a Jamaica Estates native has given Rachel Uchitel the cold shoulder. Rachel, who? Simply put, she is one of the ladies in Tiger’s harem. According to media reports, Rachel wanted a role on Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” but she could not wait on a decision so she high-tailed it to VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab.” Not thrilled with Rachel’s move, The Donald let her have it. In US Weekly saying, “She called; she wanted to be on the show ... but we just don’t see her as a celebrity in any sense.” On TMZ : “We have zero interest in her now. She made a bad mistake. ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ is a huge show and ‘Celebrity Rehab’ is not. . . I’m moving on.” There is nothing like a Donald scorned. . . or a Rachel in bikini.
Councilman Dan Halloran a ticket for blocking a crosswalk, after Chu himself blew through stop signs while talking on a cell phone with his sirens blaring, to buy himself an emergency iced coffee – while illegally parked – is still feeling the heat. Certain angry local citizens (and one crusading politician, ahem) are railing against his ticketing a woman in distress. Tamara Fox was on her way to Elmhurst Hospital to visit a close friend with brain cancer, when she was stricken with a flat tire. She pulled into a parking spot to fix the flat, but unfortunately, she forgot to feed the ever-hungry meter. Enter Chu, who is obviously trying to single-handedly solve the City’s budget problems by ticketing every distracted denizen of Queens. Our meter man-iac strikes again. Keep up the good work, Chu!
