all ethnic backgrounds and brings them together to make beautiful music. Music from Mozart, Beethoven and Handel, to Negro spirituals, Chanukah songs and Americana. Songs are sung in English, Yiddish, German and French. Between the group’s makeup and the languages we sing the songs in, we encompass everyone who lives in our great borough. Isn’t that what the ‘best of Queens’ should do?” Lynne Thomas, Springfield Gardens “Who needs to go to Manhattan for top shelf classical music? Twice a year (December & May) this semi-professional chorus/orchestra puts on a concert of classics and new works that’s both thrilling and entertaining. For a still-reasonable ticket price, and free parking.” Elena Leon, Flushing “The OSQ is the absolute best in providing excellent choral music, from classical to traditional to popular, conveniently and affordable to our borough’s residents. It is comprised of volunteers from all over Queens and from all walks of life, and is led by our beloved Music Director and Conductor, David W. Close, who is uniquely talented in molding and directing the chorus and informing our audiences about the musical nuances and historical significance of the pieces we present. As a bonus, we are all treated to the participation of very talented professional soloists, who enjoy working with OSQ. We are becoming a concert tradition with our audiences, twice a year and hope to expand in educative ways, in the future. In any case, you’ll depart from our concerts with a smile on your face, and that’s worth holding on to, and supporting the year round, until the next concert.” Beatriz Roman, Whitestone “OSQ has been singing for the Queens community for over 83 years. It is a “Queens Tradition.” Once you go to a concert – you get it. It’s terrific.” Wesley Horbatuck, Rego Park “Provides wonderful music to Queens.” Barbara Raisner, Fresh Meadows “They give quality entertainment for Queens.” Daniel Desanti, Queens “It’s like being at Carnegie Hall.” Mary DeSanti, Queens

Bayside “It brings classical music alive.” James Griffin, Forest Hills “OSQ is great because it makes various classical music pieces accessible to the masses. I never would have thought I liked choir music but their affordable tickets and easy to get to performances opened me to the genre.” Emily Griffin, Flushing “OSQ brings music to the people to soothe the soul and make the heart happy; to delight the senses and to enrich lives. Music is a universal language in a borough of many tongues. Music builds bridges and forms community. OSQ delivers!” Victoria L. Moss, Ridgewood “I’m hereby casting my vote for BEST of QUEENS for the Oratorio Society of Queens. I am a member of this chorus for several years and I can tell you that it is a unique organization. 120 singers, 45-piece orchestra, terrific leader (David Close) offering two wonderful concerts each year. We perform in December with a Holiday concert featuring excerpts from Handel’s Messiah, and other holiday favorites. And we perform in May with other classical and familiar pieces. Both concerts are given at Queensborough Community College Performing Arts Center, and are near-sell-outs at reasonable ticket prices. I hope you will again feature us in your Best of Queens edition. Nowhere else in Queens can you find such high quality cultural programs!” Barbara Raisner, Queens “The Oratorio Society of Queens offers so much to the Queens community it’s hard to know where to begin. More than 100 people come together to rehearse weekly for 13 weeks twice a year and then perform twice each year at the auditorium at Queensborough Performing Arts Center at Queensborough Community College. The professional level quality is unsurpassed by any other
certs; a holiday concert featuring excerpts from Handel’s Messiah plus some of the most beautiful Christmas carols, Chanukah and other special holiday selections. I am sure that no one other than those present at our most recent holiday concert has ever heard our Chanukah selection “Ocho Kandelikas!” It was an original and unique arrangement by our Maestro, David Close. Our feature presentation this past spring was the Mozart Requiem. Maestro Close always presents us with a program we not only love to perform but it is always special for the audience. Not only does OSQ present timeless sacred music, choral music that cannot be heard anywhere else in Queens, but we frequently present something new, original and progressive too! Integral to the OSQ program is the talent, genius and personality of Maestro Close. No organization can present the caliber of performances that the community appreciates and deserves if not for a very special leader and we are most fortunate to have Maestro Close who is as personable as he is talented; a rare combination and the borough of Queens benefits each year. This holiday concert on Sunday Dec. 19, 2010 will feature Handel’s Messiah and some very special holiday selections. Our spring concert will feature Beethoven’s Mass in C Minor. As always, it will be magnificent!” Marsha Toma, Whitestone “The music is as good as any performed in Manhattan, and it’s right here in Queens. It’s performed by people who live in the various neighborhoods throughout New York City.” Vernie Gorman, Whitestone “I would like to submit this on behalf of The Oratorio Society of Queens led by Maestro David Close.

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. 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: August 11, 2010 Steven J. Baum, P.C., Attorney(s) For Plaintiff(s), 220 Northpointe Parkway Suite G, Amherst, NY 14228 The law firm of Steven J. Baum, P.C. and the attorneys whom it

The Mosque at Ground Zero... You have every right to say it is wrong
Page 38 Tribune Aug. 26 - Sept. 1, 2010 • www.queenstribune.com
The planned building of the Mosque at Ground Zero is an issue of both controversy and confusion regarding religious freedom. President Obama has made it clear that Muslims have every right to build a mosque wherever they want. It is in fact a constitutional right. However, when leaders suggest that it is unAmerican to oppose the location of a mosque at Ground Zero, the suggestion itself is rather unAmerican. Our first amendment protects our rights to freedom of speech. The greatest right that Americans possess is the freedom to speak out when something is wrong. Opposing the mosque at Ground Zero is not a challenge to anyone’s rights to religious freedom. What most Americans oppose is simply the location of the mosque.
A recent CNN/Opinion Research poll found that nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose the mosque plan. Rima Fakih, who is the first Muslim Miss USA, captured the sentiments of the American people by saying "I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on Constitutional rights of freedom of religion. I also agree that it shouldn't be so close to the World Trade Center." The majority of Americans oppose the mosque at Ground Zero because we see it as hurtful to the 9/11 families and first responders and we see it as insulting to those who perished. The plan to build a 13 story mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero is viewed as blatantly insensitive, at the very least. We question the judgment and motives of the developers who say they want to bridge the gap between religions, while selecting a building damaged by the 9/11 attacks for the mosque site.
There is nothing un-American about speaking against what we see as wrong. In my opinion, it is the most American thing to do. I am exercising my right to free speech against the location of the Ground Zero mosque and I urge you to speak out as well.
I invite you to join me for an evening of community, music and free speech against the building of the Ground Zero mosque. Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 7pm at the Forest Park Bandshell (Forest Park Drive off Woodhaven Blvd) Thanks and I look forward to seeing you there. Bob

Timmy O’s Frozen Custard 49-07 104th St Corona “Best frozen custard ever! No exceptions. Seriously, no other frozen custard will taste as good once you’ve tried Timmy O’s. Fantastic!” Lou Murphy, Woodside “This small stand in Corona patterns itself after the great custard stands of the Midwest and serves absolutely, positively great frozen custard (also ice cream sundaes, banana splits, etc). Timmy O’s has only three flavors - chocolate, vanilla and the flavor of the day. But the custard is thick, rich, creamy, intensely flavorful - really the best I’ve ever had. You can have it plain or, for no extra charge, mix in nuts, sprinkles, M&Ms, fruit, etc. Reasonable prices, great, friendly service - and no lines.”

PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The state encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANK-NYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department’s website at WWW.BANKING.STATE.NY.US. 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. 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: August 4, 2010 Steven J. Baum, P.C., Attorney(s) For Plaintiff(s), 220 Northpointe Parkway Suite G, Amherst, NY 14228 The law firm of Steven J.

sweet high school students, they actually are. These three pint-sized pop stars pack major charisma and talent into an adorable adolescent package. The group officially formed in November 2008 and have been hard at work ever since. They made their television debut as the School Gyrls with Nick Cannon on the season finale of E! TV Show “Party Monsters” in Cabo San Lucas in January 2009, and have since been busy recording their debut album which will be released under the Island Def Jam imprint in 2010. The Bryan Bros Band’s latest record, “Let It Rip,” was originally released in late 2009 exclusively on Amazon.com where it reached No. 12 on the New Releases-Pop charts and No. 23 on the All Pop/Rock Albums chart.
Hot-Headed Politics On A Queens Stage Pick up your baseball bat, sharpen your butterfly knife, shine up your brass knuckles and choose a side as The Queens Players explore the classic story of polit ics, power, and betrayal – William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar.” The third installment of director Richard Mazda’s gangland Shakespeare series brings you into the center of Rome, where civil strife and political infighting have ripped apart the ver y fabric of the fragile democracy. Resource s are scarce, bat tle line s are drawn, and even those with the noblest intentions can’t escape without blood on their hands. This production’s environmental style makes use of the mult iple per formance space s at The Secret Theatre, carr ying the audience through the play’s desolate, battlescarred world. It is a “Julius Caesar” that is not just seen, but experienced, with an immediacy that is in keeping with Shakespeare’s timeless drama.

Dozens of potential LIRR passengers lined the station’s waiting area, puffing cigarettes, opening beers and voicing their discontent. “If it’s not traffic, it’s something else,” said Linda Higgins, a nurse who runs a dialysis center in St. Albans. She, like many of her fellow commuters, did not learn of the LIRR’s curtailed service until she actually showed up at Jamaica station. For Jimena Vargas, the wait with her 13-year-old brother grew more tedious by the second. She had waited for more than an hour, and there was no sign of a train arriving. “I just wish they’d tell us what was going on,” she said. “This is really The Hall switching station, where a fire caused the only option we have.

New Schools Ready For Fall Debut By JESSICA ABLAMSKY Local students will see some relief this fall from persistent overcrowding. At a price tag of nearly $240 million, Queens will gain 3,120 seats in grades 6-12, some of which were sited in temporary facilities. Currently located in a former synagogue, Gateway to Health Sciences Secondary School will debut this fall in its brand new, $70 million building at the Queens Hospital Center at 160-20 Goethals Ave, in Jamaica Hills. The 805-seat school will open for 2010-11 with grades 7-12, with a sixth grade planned for the 2011-12 school year.
The new Metropolitan Campus in Forest Hills will house three schools and serve 1,700 students. Located on the site of the former Queens Morgue, the Gateway School is set to open in t wo weeks.
6-12 for 700 students citywide. The locally zoned Queens Metropolitan High School, with room for 1,000 kids, will accept students from parts of District 24 and 28. Each fully air conditioned school will have its own administration area, cafeteria, classrooms, gym, library and meeting rooms. They will share the auditorium and outdoor recreation areas. Although not technically new, the Young Women’s Leadership Academy opened a couple of years ago, the school is phasing in the last of its students this fall. Located at 23-15 Newtown Ave. in Astoria,
the $15 million renovation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel made room for 540 students in grades 6-12. Of those, 140 are slated to open this fall. The all-girls school focuses on math, science, technology, community service and leadership. Upgrades included renovation on 16 classrooms, such as art, music, practice and resource rooms, a dance studio, guidance suites, full kitchen, library and tech lab.

2-Term Limit Option Won’t Kick In ’Til ’21 By DOMENICK RAFTER Term limits will be on the ballot in November and city voters will have the opportunity to restore the two-term limit that was overturned by the City Council in 2008, but if they do, the law would not take effect for another decade. The Charter Revision Commission voted to approve the ballot initiative that would include a grandfather clause allowing all present incumbents, including those elected in 2009, to serve three four-year terms. That means if voters approve the term-limit referendum, it would not take effect until 2021. More than half of city council members, two borough presidents, Comptroller John Liu and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio are serving their first or second term and would be allowed to serve a third under the decision, regardless of how city voters vote on Nov. 2. If voters approve the referendum, it would include those elected in 2013 citywide elec-
tions and any special elections after this year. The vote was not unanimous and some commission members blasted the decision. Commissioner Anthony Perez Cassino called on the restoration of term limits to take effect immediately if passed by city voters in November. He called the decision to delay implementation for 11 years a “disservice” to the public. But Commissioner Stephen Fiala called the decision to grandfather current officeholders a “thoughtful and balanced solution.” City voters are also expected to vote on requiring public disclosure of expenditures made by entities and individuals independent from candidates to influence the outcome of a city election or referendum, as well as a measure to reduce the number of petition signatures needed by candidates for city elective office to appear on a ballot.

The new four-story, air conditioned high school building features art, music and standard classrooms, science and technology labs and the usual school building fare. Gateway will also house a District 75 special education school, P752. In 2010-11, the school will serve 42 kids in six designated classrooms. Two notoriously overcrowded high schools in Central Queens, Forest Hills High School and Newtown High School, might have fewer faces this fall, thanks to the Metropolitan Avenue Campus at 91-30 Metropolitan Ave. in Forest Hills. Featuring three schools, the $158 million campus will house more than 1,700 students. A District 75 school will provide 200 new seats, while Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School will offer grades
Mosque Debate: Democracy Is A Messy Business By MICHAEL SCHENKLER “The Ground Zero mosque debate is a good reminder that democracy, at its best, is a messy business.”
The Facebook post above of John Kominicki, publisher of Long Isla nd Busine ss News, brought home to me the absurdity of the debate that many of us have been immersed in. Although I never intended the Mosque near Ground Zero to be my column topic or even my argument, some hurtful and bigoted words – as subtle as they may have been – have drawn me in. The printed words, my email, Facebook page, Tweets, have pounded home the diversit y of opinion about American at titude towards the freedoms of the diversity of religions. If you don’t know me yet, to me, there is no debate; Islam is
entitled to the same rights as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, or atheistism or agnosticism. Believe, don’t believe, worship, don’t worship, where or whenever you want. Period. From the founding of this nation – as a matter of fact well before the founding – our land’s establishment was based on Freedom of Religion. In 1657, the first document of religious freedom was penned in this land – right here in Queens. The Flushing Remonstrance issued at the Bowne House beautifully articulated the right of the Quakers to worship as they pleased in spite of a ban by Governor Peter Stuyvesant. This precursor to the First Amendment is perhaps the greatest single contribution that our borough has given the nation. The settlement of most of the other colonies was by those who came to this new land in search of the right to worship freely. The colonists wanted a chance to worship freely and have an opportunity to choose which religion they wanted to take part in. Our Constitution’s First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” So how then is there a debate as to the right for someone to build a house of worship on land he owns? Would the debate exist if it were a Jewish temple, a Catholic Church, a Buddhist temple? And by the way, just how close is too close? If 2 blocks is no good, how about 4? 8? A mile? All of Manhattan? How about we ban all mosque s bui lding in Ne w York City? The State? The Nation? Let’ outlaw Islam! After all it was Muslim fanatics who destroyed the World Trade Center and killed some 3,000 people in the process. Should we outlaw their religion or just lock them all up? Sor r y, I’m get t ing car ried away. Let’s just prevent a mosque from being built within 2 blocks of ground zero. Then must we also prevent a synagogue or church? If someone pause s at t he Trade Center Memorial to say a prayer, should we stop them?
If they take out a prayer mat and bow to Allah, should we stop them then? Amazingly, according to a recent Sienna College poll, 64 percent of Americans believe the developers have a constitutional right to build a mosque near ground zero – only 28 percent say they do not. As polls go, that’s as one-sided as you get. Even among those who oppose the mosque, agree by a margin of 51-42 percent they have a right to build it. That leaves, my friends, very few options to those who are in opposition to the mosque. 1) They can – and I encourage them to do so – express civilly their opinion t hat sensit iv it ie s should guide the mosque’s builders to seek another location. The developers have pretty clearly said they are not moving. 2) This is America, the almight y buck talks. T he old Burlington Coat Factory site may just have a price. Let those who oppose offer to buy it allowing the developers to take a profit and find a more prominent location, but not quite as close to “Ground Zero.” Hey, opponents, put your money where your mouth is. Now, I have no objection if civil discourse or financial discourse
is used by the opponents to encourage the movement of the mosque. Such is the American way. But to suggest that government should get involved in blocking the construction of a house of worship is antithetical to all our nation is about. I’m sad that the issue has become a political football. Government’s only comment should be to quote the First Amendment and not to make more of an issue out of what is an overly heated debate. The President had to speak of religious freedom. I wish it stopped there. The Mayor can wave the Constitution but could have not participated in the debate. Harry Reid proved to be a disingenuous Democratic Leader and I hope should he return to the Senate, his colleagues make him pay by choosing another leader. I can respect opposition, but only if they acknowledge the basic tenet guaranteed to all religions by our Constitution. Anything less is un-American. “The Ground Zero mosque debate is a good reminder that democracy, at its best, is a messy business.” MSchenkler@QueensTribune.com
Charter Commission Weighs Extra Term For Incumbents not be allowed to concoct another scheme to deny the public the right to vote on whether they should have third-term eligibility. The officials are tr ying to prohibit the jurors from even considering whether they should be allowed to profit from their misdeeds. This was the time to close the door on this unfortunate chapter of New York political history. To allow the situation to carry over to 2017 would invite another referendum next year on the same issue. That would denigrate and obscure the other serious matters on which the Charter commission is charged with deliberating. Close the barn door. Conclude this matter in 2011. Let the Charter Revision Commission go forward with constructive study of municipal issues, of which there are many, rather than stooping to reward the handful of self-serving councilmembers whose desire to linger generated this problem. By the time you read this, you should know what deed was done. GEESE Latest census, taken by AnneKatrin Titze, shows 114 geese, nine swans and numerous ducks on the Prospect Park Lake. The swans are members of two families, who are not always friendly to each other. The population consists of four adults and five cygnets. On July 7, Federal agents removed
and executed about 300 geese, but the lake is being repopulated as new Canada Geese arrive. They are apparently unaware of the fate that befell their brothers and sisters last month. TREES The Pelham Parkway 87, originally marked for destruction for highway construction, have received a temporary reprieve after their cause was embraced by local newspapers, Regis Philbin of ABC, who grew up near Pelham Park-
way, and community activists. The city will review its design to protect both trees and cars. A greater threat has arisen to the tree s on Pelham Parkway South. The proposed reconstruction of a sewer threatens the roots of mature trees on the sidewalk and in the park. The plans should be reviewed by the community and the city agencies involved, Design & Construction and Environmental Protection, before any excavation is begun. StarQuest@NYCivic.org

Edit Page In Our Opinion:
A Lost Generation In 1993, New York City voters first told the powers that be that two terms was enough for our council, borough presidents and citywide elected officials. We spoke again in 1998. As a result, in 2001 most of the incumbents in City government lost their jobs. In 2008, the Council and the Mayor stole that power back, granting themselves a third term, but promising to let the voters decide – again, in the future – if there should be two or three terms. Well, that hasn’t quite happened. This week the Charter Revision Commission decided to ask the voters in this November’s ballot if there should be two-term limits – starting in 2021. That means that the Councilmen and others who just came into office last year will get to keep their three terms, and that that an entire generation of voters will have to wait for term limits to be in effect. With 28 years lapsing between when New Yorkers first declared a need for a two-term limit and when the new law would go into effect, this is a mockery of justice and a further invalidation of the will of the people. Whatever anyone’s stance on term limits is, it is up to the voters to decide. The previous sham of a decision to overturn that will leaves us with very little faith that, whatever the outcome of this November’s vote, the will of the people will be done.

Help My School To The Editor: So my school, like most schools in the country, is in a contest to win $500,000 from Kohl’s in the Kohl’s Cares contest on Facebook. And like most of the students in those schools, they insist that their school needs the money more than anyone else. But in all honesty, I can give you several reasons why and how my school, High School for Health Professions and Human Services, would use the money. With $500,000 my school could improve our learning environment, upgrade classrooms, fix our gym/locker room and get new textbooks – this is a huge must. In one subject, there are three different textbooks because we can’t afford enough of one. With $500,000 we can get buses for the sports teams so they don’t have to take public transportation to get to their games. With $500,000 we can have more of the classes that students want (e.g. Home Economics, Photography/Film). With $500,000 we can improve the food that we are being served at my school. The French fries, pizzas and chicken nuggets that they keep serving us are getting old, and are frankly unhealthy. With healthier food, students can perform better in class.
As a member of student government, one of my most important goals was for the students to have an opportunity to go on an international trip. This may seem unnecessary, but to me it’s important for people to open their minds to different cultures and customs and to learn to things from something other than a textbook would be a great opportunity. Unfortunately, with 77 percent of the students coming from lowincome families, it would be almost impossible for those who wanted to go to go on the trip. With $500,000, we could make the price of the trip cheaper so that everyone has an opportunity to go. Lastly, I would use the remainder of the money to improve the PTA so that we can get more funding as a result of high participation. If my school were to win this money, not only would you have a hand at making these students’ lives better, but you would help to improve the communities that the students come from. Please help me help others. To learn more, look up Kohl’s Cares at facebook.com. CeeJay Hayes, Jamaica
Farm Museum To The Editor: I was disgusted to learn that
Michael Schenkler Publisher/Editor-in-Chief
Queens County Farm Museum allowed employees to take home animals from the farm to butcher and eat. Management told workers to help themselves to the farm’s residents, saying they had too many animals and that they preferred the employees eat the animals rather than sending them to farm sanctuaries. The ducks, my personal favorite, were the worst hit. Mallards, muscovys, pekins and various heritage breeds I enjoyed watching over the years were butchered and eaten by their “caretakers.” Management claims that many of these ducks were abandoned at the farm, making it all right for the employees to butcher them. In the years I’ve been going there, the only “new” ducks I ever saw were the ones management allowed to hatch. This year, the existing flock has more than doubled with 40-plus newly hatched ducklings this past month. That employees and farm management know little about caring for these animals is painfully obvious. In the past few years, they’ve killed many of the sheep and goats, claiming they were prone to sickness and disease. Fact is, when properly cared for, these are some of the heartiest animals on earth. Rather than removing eggs to solve the duck “overpopulation” problem, the “caretakers” eat the extras. Management has now decided to get rid of their existing flock of ducks and geese, saying they need to start anew and build an outrageously expensive new pond, claiming the existing pond has an inadequate filter. As anyone who has ever kept ducks knows, they’ll be hard put to find a duck pond filtration system that works better. Artificial duck ponds are labor intensive. I have been calling, writing, emailing and petitioning Sen. Frank Padavan, farm founder and so-called “animal advocate,” to intercede on behalf of the animals. Sen. Padavan has refused to help, despite the fact that more than 400 of his constituents have asked him to intercede. Families visit the Farm Museum, donate to the “fund-a-friend” program, and expect the animals to be there next time they visit. They do not expect their tax dollars to pay for an employee’s dinner or contribute to the death of the animals they visit. They do not want to have to explain to their children that Donald and Daisy Duck aren’t there anymore because they looked tasty to one of their “caretakers.” This week they’ll serve the farm’s resident chickens at their “feast in the field” dinner. Sen. Padavan, stop the killing! We want a Farm Museum, not a slaughterhouse in our backyards. Caroline Lee, Esq.

Another Ground Zero To The Editor: I am ashamed of all those citizens in the U.S. that declare their ignorance of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that give all of us equal access and protection under those doctrines. Even more disgusting is the ignorance and intolerance of those residents of the city and state of New York. They parade around with the flag draped around their body and pins on their lapel claiming sovereignty with respect to a house of religious worship that wants to be built near (not on) the site of the 9/11 Ground Zero disaster. Even more suspect are those politicians, mostly Republicans and some Democrats, who have sworn to protect and provide equal access and protection to all of its citizens no matter of race, creed, religion, or sexual orientation. All the while, they participate in a declared war and obstructionism against the current Democratic administration. You should be ashamed for voting against the appropriations bill to support those victims and survivors of 9/11. Where was your so-called patriotism then? I want to remind both of those groups and the citizenry of New York as well as the other self-righteous citizens of the contiguous United States that in 1657 a declaration of religious independence was declared. It is the “Flushing Remonstrance.” Read it for illumination. This doctrine is our Magna Carta for religious tolerance in this country and is recognized for the religious freedoms that we have come to honor in our Bill of Rights. The President of the United States, whom we elected to uphold the tenets of our Constitution and The Bill of Rights, has come under intense attack from right-wing zealots who only want this protection for themselves alone. How selfish and how un-American you are? You should be ashamed (all of you) for spewing your self-righteous bigotry and hatred for public display. As (the former) Executive Director for the Queens Historical Society, it was my honor to be the steward of Queens-NYC historic landmarks and of our rich history. It was my job to protect, honor, display and remind us all why the history of those brave men, women and children who gave their lives for our freedoms is so important. Even more importantly, it was also my job to make sure that current and future generations would continue to honor and respect the sacrifices made then and now. I served in that position for eight years. Alan J.

Before making fools of yourselves (even more), I suggest that a short course in American History be taken. In addition, for those who are in doubt, take a trip to Flushing, walk the Flushing Freedom Mile, visit each of the historic landmark sites and get a quick lesson why we celebrate our cultural/ethnic diversity and our freedoms. This, too, is hallowed ground and another Ground Zero in New York City one of profound respect and dignity. Byron C. Saunders, Brooklyn
Freedom For All To The Editor Yes, the people seeking to erect a building at 51 Park Place should have taken into account the hurt that their building would cause. Yes, they should have seen that it would feel like rubbing salt in the wounds of people who lost loved ones on that horrific day and in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In downtown Jackson Heights there are two small mosques in the lower 70s and no one has mounted a campaign to get them to move. There is a major mosque on 96th Street in Manhattan, similar in size to the Mormon church across from Lincoln Center. No one has spoken against those mosques’ right to be. Let the building of Park51 commence and let the world see that Americans and especially New Yorkers, though terribly hurt by the attack of evil Muslim extremists, have stood by our core principle that religious freedom is guaranteed to all who are lucky to live on American soil. John Moran, Jackson Heights
Protect ALL Birds To The Editor: I wonder how many of the dedicated volunteers who helped save a pelican from the deadly Gulf oil have other birds for dinner or at a local fast-food outlet. They are not alone. Most people are appalled by the devastation of animal life by the Gulf oil spill, yet subsidize the systematic killing of other animals for their dinner table. They know that meat and dairy harm the environment and their family’s health, but compartmentalize this knowledge when shopping for food. Our society would benefit greatly from more original thinkers, and our personal diet is a great place to start.

From the time she was a child, Latoya Myers has wanted to be a model. “Modeling has been a passion for me for a very long time,” she said. “When I was young, people used to say I should be a model.” But her education was her first priority. Once she graduated from college, she was given the chance. “I was with a friend in the East Village one day and someone saw me and said I should be a model,” Latoya explained. She accepted the challenge to model, network and meet people. Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Latoya’s first home in the United States was in Brooklyn. She went to Delaware State and got her degree in social work and eventually settled in her current neighborhood of Richmond Hill. She works for a local private company in social services. As for modeling, Latoya does a few gigs here and there, fashion shows and video trailers. “It’s sort of like a hobby right now,” she explains, “Not everything I do is a paying gig.” In her spare time, Latoya enjoys going out to eat with friends or spending a quiet day a home reading, especially informational books, and watching movies that make her laugh.

Got sticky fingers? Well keep your thieving self out of Flushing’s mom and pop shops. According to the Daily News, a number of Chinese small business owners have taken to publicly shaming shoplifters they catch red handed. The owners reportedly reprimand the thieves, take their ID cards and demand a $400 payout as a means to make amends. If the thieves refuse, the shop owners snap a picture and post it up on their shop’s entrance. It is coming from a culture that parades suspected prostitutes in handcuffs around public squares.
Queens Rap Feud Queens rapper Ja Rule has a full plate, juggling an attempted comeback while fueling a continuing beef with Queens’ own 50 Cent. Still, the former Murda Ink recording artist from Jamaica won’t let his resurgence be affected. Ja claims Fiddy’s attempt to damage his credibility resulted in a loss of fans, but said he “was a much bigger selling artist than just platinum.” One of Ja Rule’s recent Twitter posts announced, “Rise and grind there’s money to be made!!! Oh yeah HATE is for SUCKAS lol…” Fiddy probably does not have
much time to respond. He’s too focused on his budding film career, with a role in Joel Schumacer’s “Twelve.” He portrays – surprise surprise – a high-rolling drug dealer. We’re pretty sure he’ll have to work extra hard to play that role.

Inmate Cake Would you be willing to commit a crime for a good piece of carrot cake? Well, that can be arranged. The New York Times City Room blog investigated what is being described as one of the best carrot cakes in the city: the one made in the bakery at Rikers Island for inmates. The cake, legendary on the island, is only served to inmates and workers during holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, but it was served last week at the beginning of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. The inmates bake roughly 2,500 loaves of carrot cake a year, in 25-loaf batches, which require 25 pounds each of sugar, already whipped eggs and shredded carrots, but no files or dynamite. Each loaf serves 20 people and weighs nine and a half pounds. City Room has the entire recipe if you’re interested in baking some Cell Block Carrot Cake for your jail-themed Halloween …or bachelorette party.
