The amount of the Debt: $291,972.13 consisting of principal balance of $231,872.06 plus interest of $43,767.83, a surrogate fee of $21.73, escrow/ impound shortages or credits of $13,749.88, late charges of $572.25; Broker’s Price Opinion, inspection and miscellaneous charges of $215.00; attorney fee $1,300.00 and title search $483.38.

of interest and other charges that may vary from day to day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater.

The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. Unless you dispute the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after receipt hereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the herein debt collector. If you notify the herein debt collector in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt hereof that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, we will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of any judgment against you representing the debt and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to you by the herein debt collector. Upon your written request within 30 days after receipt of this notice, the herein debt collector will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor if different from the current creditor. Note: Your time to respond to the summons and complaint differs from your time to dispute the validity of the debt or to request the name and address of the original creditor. Although you have as few as 20 days to respond to the summons and complaint, depending on the manner of service, you still have 30 days from receipt of this summons to dispute the validity of the debt and to request the name and address of the original creditor. TO THE DEFENDANTS: The Plaintiff makes no personal claim against you in this action. TO THE DEFENDANTS: If you have obtained an order of discharge from the Bankruptcy court, which includes this debt, and you have not reaffirmed your liability for this debt, this law firm is not alleging that you have any personal liability for this debt and does not seek a money judgment against you. Even if a discharge has been obtained, this lawsuit to foreclose the mortgage will continue and we will seek a judgment authorizing the sale of the mortgaged premises.

Attorneys for Plaintiff Main Office 51 E Bethpage Road Plainview, NY 11803 516-741-2585Help For Homeowners In Foreclosure New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. Mortgage foreclosure is a complex process. Some people may

approach you about “saving” your home. You should be extremely careful about any such promises. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working 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-BANKNYS (1-877-2265697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us.

New York City police officers respond to more than 4 million calls each year, and we've been doing it with 6,000 fewer officers on the street. In return, we're paid over 20% less than the average for other police officers in our area and around the country, and we're demonized by politicians, pundits and the press. But we still come to work every day with just one goal in mind: to protect all New Yorkers from crime and terror.

Business Owners Dissatisfied With Plaza By Luis Gronda Staff Writer Business owners had their chance to sound off on the Ozone Park pedestrian plaza last week, with many businesses calling for the plaza to be moved to a different location or torn down completely. Community Board 9 called for the meeting after several businesses surrounding the outdoor plaza have complained that the structure has negatively impacted their storefronts and want the street to open up to two-way traffic once again. The pedestrian plaza was installed last year as part of the Dept. of Transportation’s NYC Plaza program, which aims to create open space in neighborhoods that the agency identifies as an area of need, according to its website. The idea to create a plaza at Drew Street, 101st Avenue and Liberty Avenue, covering the Queens-Brooklyn border in the City Line area, was submitted by Bangladeshi American Community Development and Youth Services, a local non-profit organization. Several business owners around the plaza attended the meeting to call for DOT to move the plaza further down the street into the Brooklyn side and open it up to vehicle traffic again. Hasib Ali, the owner of Ozone Park Discount Variety and Hardware, locat-

ed at 74-01 101st Ave., said the plaza is damaging businesses like his and they have had to take out loans to cover costs associated with running the store. He added that the original plan for the plaza called for it to be built further up the street but it ended up in the area where his store is located instead. “Can you take off this plaza and place it two blocks up? There is a big space over there,” Ali said. Dahlia Hall, the Queens DOT Commissioner, confirmed the original plan for the plaza following Ali’s speech, and said they had to move it because they could not implement it the way the agency intended. They began more community outreach on the Queens side after the change of plans, including holding two public meetings on the matter, Hall said. Faysal Qurashi, owner of the Crystal Blue Reception Hall, echoed similar thoughts, saying they have seen a decrease in customers since the plaza was created because of the decrease of parking spots available in the area. “While we were getting customers before, now other customers pass by because they don’t get parking here,” Qurashi said. “They have to go all the way to Elderts Lane, then turn over and

come back. It’s time consuming and time wasting and for that, we are suffering.” Iqbal Ali, a member of the United Bangladeshi-American Youth Association and a local business owner, said that while he is concerned about the plaza, he thinks the solution should be to fix the structure instead of getting rid

of it because it gives local kids a place to play and hang out. “This is the only place that we have in our neighborhood where the kids can be safe and we can have a gathering there,” Iqbal said. Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune. com or @luisgronda.

CEC 24 Seeks To Take Back Shelter Site For School By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer In an effort to address both school overcrowding and the two homeless shelters in its district, Community Education Council 24 wants to put a school at a proposed shelter site. At its calendar meeting Tuesday evening, the council followed up on a public meeting held earlier this month regarding putting a school at 78-16 Cooper Ave. in Glendale, a site the Dept. of Homeless Services identified for a potential shelter. The council unanimously passed a resolution requesting the Dept. of Education, School Construction Authority, DHS and Mayor Bill de Blasio relocate the proposed Glendale shelter so that the Cooper Avenue site can be used for a public school. At CEC 24’s last meeting, Mary Leas, director of external affairs at the SCA, said the agency is interested in the site as a school, but only if it can acquire two adjacent properties. District 24, one of the most overcrowded in the City, includes the Cooper Avenue site as well as the Boulevard Family Center, a homeless shelter located in the former Pan American Hotel in Elmhurst. “We’re bringing families into a situation where there might not be seats for them,” CEC 24 vice presi-

CEC 24 discussed overcrowding and the effects of homeless shelters at a Tuesday meeting. dent Peter Vercessi said. Glendale Civic Association president Kathy Masi attended the meeting to present a separate but similar solution. She proposed creating an “educational complex” at the Cooper Avenue site, similar to the Padavan schools campus built on the site of a former psychiatric center in Glen Oaks. Masi said that besides the obvious advantage of creating more school seats, the complex would provide students “tremendous benefits from going to school with children from different economic, social, racial backgrounds,” as it would be open to all.

Masi’s proposal directly contrasted the rhetoric of some residents who voiced concerns earlier in the meeting about the possible deleterious effects of students from the Pan Am shelter enrolling in D24 schools. According to representatives from the DOE’s Students in Temporary Housing program, it is still unclear how many children from the Boulevard Family Center will attend schools in D24. Families in homeless shelters have the right to register students for their school of origin, the school nearest the shelter or the school nearest their most recent permanent resi-

dence, and registration is apparently ongoing. Resident Howard Moscowitz said he approves of the idea for an educational complex. “I think it’s a great plan. I think it’s great for the community, great for the students to have a particular facility of that sort for our neighborhood,” Moscowitz said. “It’s something that the community should definitely investigate and I think it should be done.” According to Masi, the suggestion has the backing of Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) and will go before Community Board 5 for a vote at the board’s September meeting. Tuesday’s meeting also served as a platform for residents to continue expressing their dismay with and pose questions about the two homeless shelter sites. However, due to the DHS’ absence from the meeting, many questions – namely those that touched on security at the Boulevard Family Center – went unanswered. CEC 24 president Nick Comaianni said he was “appalled” at the DHS’ absence and “disappointed” that no elected officials attended either, a sentiment that parents and residents echoed after adjournment.

149th St. Bridge Aims For 2015 Opening BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer While the long-defunct 149th Street Bridge has caused headaches for Queens residents for years, the saga may be reaching its end. The Dept. of Transportation said it plans to begin construction next fall for the 149th Street Bridge, which has been in need of major repairs for the last few years. While the bridge originally closed in 2010, it has yet to reopen due to problems with the previous work that was done. The 149th Street Bridge, which stretches over the railroad, closed in May 2010 for demolition and reconstruction, with a scheduled reopening for November 2011. Numerous delays stalled the project’s completion, with the DOT discovering cracks in the cement of the new bridge in May 2012. The bridge was not safe for vehicular traffic and remained closed as a result, opening to pedestrian traffic only in June 2012. For the next two years, the DOT remained silent on the bridge, until June 6, 2014, when it confirmed that the bridge has to be torn down and rebuilt again. The agency is pursuing litigation against the firm responsible for the bridge’s initial design. Flushing’s elected officials recently met with Queens Borough Commissioner Dalila Hall to discuss the reconstruction’s progress. According to the DOT, the new design should be finalized by the end of the year, with a slated completion scheduled for November 2015. “The business owners and residents here have been kept in the dark about the status of the bridge for too long and I’m glad that this new administration understands the importance of transparency and communication,” State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) said.

Councilman Peter Koo and State Sen. Toby Stavisky meet with DOT Officials about when the 149th Street Bridge will reopen.

Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) said he had the chance to see the cracks in the bridge’s infrastructure firsthand during a tour of the site with his colleagues. “As a small business owner, I empathize with the local merchants and understand the frustrations that they have had to endure because of its closure,” he said. “Unfortunately, this bridge has to be rebuilt as public safety must be our top priority.” Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Flushing) added that he hopes the latest updates mark the near-end of the 149th Street Bridge’s troubles. “We just want a clear timeline and resolution so our businesses and residents are no longer inconvenienced by this bridge,” he said.

New Senior Care Center Office In Forest Hills A Westchester-based senior services company is opening a brand new office in Queens. Wartburg has opened a new care-at-home office at 5 Continental Ave. in Forest Hills. The company said in a press release that the new facility will provide nursing, medication monitoring and home health aide services to seniors in the five boroughs. Wartburg already has offices in Westchester and the Bronx, but they are now expanding further in New York City. “The expansion into Queens and surrounding boroughs and counties builds on the success of our home care services in Westchester and in the Bronx,” David Gentner, president and CEO of Wartburg, said in a statement. “While we have a beautiful 34-acre campus with new adult day care and rehabilitation facilities, as well as assisted and independent living residences, home care is at the core of our vision – to keep older adults in their homes as they age.” Wartburg takes care of seniors who are having difficulty with daily activities or who are in need of care while recovering from an illness. They bring those services to a senior’s home. The new facility will also include Bed and Breakfast service in addition to the care they will provide, according to the company. For more information on Wartburg, call (844) 893-2093 or visit wartburg.org.

Judge Dismisses Willets Point Lawsuit BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer A New York Supreme Court judge threw out a lawsuit from opponents of the Willets Point mega-mall redevelopment project, rejecting claims that it violated State law. The plaintiffs, State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and City Club of New York, said that the City had violated the law with its plan to lease parkland to developers Related Companies and Sterling Equities. The lawsuit said that the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure was not properly conducted. The suit, filed in February, challenged the transfer of 47 acres of property, which qualifies as parkland,

from the City to Related Companies/ Sterling Equities. The land will be used for the construction of Willets West, a 1.4-million-square-foot mall next to Citi Field. The plaintiffs said that handing over parkland to a developer was illegal and the project needed approval by the State Legislature under the Public Trust Doctrine. This law protects all parkland throughout the State against non-park uses without the consent of the Legislature. The City Council approved the project in October 2013 but it never went to Albany for a vote. The Hon. Judge Manuel Mendez disagreed with the plaintiffs’ argument. “It has been established that

ULURP does not apply to the development plans and review of the business terms for the disposition of the parkland formerly used for Shea Stadium,” he wrote in his decision. “These powers have devolved to [Mayor Bill de Blasio], who has approved the development plan.” The plaintiffs were disappointed with the judge’s decision and stated their plans to appeal the verdict. “It was disheartening to learn of Justice Mendez’s decision today in respect to the Willets West lawsuit. We made some very good legal arguments and strongly believe that we are in the right on this issue. I look forward to submitting an appeal alongside the other plaintiffs and feel confident

about a future positive outcome,” Avella said. Park advocate Geoffrey Croft, a plaintiff in the case, said that the decision grants too much power to the Mayor and goes against longstanding State law. “The decision flies in the face of the Public Trust Doctrine and ignores long-established case law. Equally troubling is it bestows the powers of the former Board of Estimate to one person, the Mayor,” he said. “This is an issue that every resident and elected official should be greatly concerned with.” Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @JoeMarvilli.

Constantinides Introduces Gun Registry Bill BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE Staff Writer A new bill would allow New Yorkers to see which of their neighbors have served time for gun violence. Councilman Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria), Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and cosponors Councilman Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx) and Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside), announced Thursday the introduction of legislation that would make the City’s gun registry information publicly available online. The bill would also allow residents to sign up for free automatic email notifications when offenders arrive in their neighborhood. The registry would list offenders’ names, residential blocks, physical descriptions, the crimes they were convicted of and sentence imposed. Gun offenders’ names are removed from the registry after four years. For Constantinides, the legislation promotes public safety. “I think the NYPD always needs help and having additional eyes on the street watching the neighborhood,” he said. The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment as of press time. When asked whether he is concerned about the stigma the law might attach to ex-offenders, Constantinides said that removing offenders’ names after four years is a rehabilitative element “built in to deal with the idea of the stigma.” He also noted that the public registry would not offer any information that is not already available to prospective employers and landlords. “I think much like a sex offender registry, you would want to know who lives in your neighborhood. It’s important for parents, it’s important for neighborhood people,” Constantinides added.

New York City would join Chicago in making its registry public. The more widespread public sex offender registry model has not been conclusively proven effective – a 2011 Columbia University and University of Michigan study found that adding a public notification component to a registry leads to higher levels of total reported sex crimes. JoAnne Page is president and CEO of the Fortune Society, a Long Island City-based nonprofit that supports reentry from prison. She said that she finds this legislation “troubling.” “The worry with this law is that it puts barriers in the way of people being able to become solid, law abiding

citizens, because it creates years of stigma after the punishment is over,” Page said. “People who are trying to do the right thing get penalized and driven underground.” Page said she does not believe a public registry would be an effective deterrent to recidivism, adding that the parole system already provides supervision after incarceration. For Leah Barrett, director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, this legislation provides an immediate response to the larger issue of gun control. “New Yorkers suffer from illegal guns that flow into our communities from states with lax gun laws... Keeping the spotlight on these indi-

viduals after they return to the community may help reduce the chances they will re-offend and it raises public awareness about the problem of illegal guns,” Barrett said in a statement released last week. Regarding the bill’s chances of passing in City Council, Constantinides said, “we were very grateful to have the chair of the [public safety] committee, Vanessa Gibson, at our press conference and a cosponsor of the bill.” Constantinides said discussions about holding a hearing in the coming months are moving forward.

Sikhs Want Max After Violent Incident BY LuIS gROndA Staff Writer Local Sikh leaders and one elected official called to have the strictest penalty possible on the man arrested for running over an Ozone Park resident last month. Earlier this month, Joseph Caleca, a 55-year-old Long Island resident, was arrested for allegedly shouting racist slurs at Sandeep Singh and then running him over with his pickup truck, dragging him eight feet before leaving the scene. Singh was taken to the hospital as a result of the incident and received treatment for injuries suffered, including surgery for internal bleeding and staples to the midsection of his body. According to a press release announcing Caleca’s arrest from Queens DA Richard Brown’s office, Caleca faces up to 25 years in prison if he is convicted. The charges he faces are second-degree attempted murder as a hate crime and first-degree assault as

a hate crime and leaving the scene without reporting. Last week, members of the Singh family, Assemblyman David Weprin (DFresh Meadows) and Sikh leaders called on Caleca to be given the strictest penalty if he is convicted for the Photo by Luis Gronda incident. navideep singh (second from left) updates Weprin said the his brother sandeep’s condition at a press crime of that magni- conference last week. tude is not acceptable anywhere, especially in a neighbor- lowing the July 30 incident.

Vets Barbecue Was Bigger

In Our OpInIOn

Still A Need For Review

While a judge last week dismissed a lawsuit challenging the transfer of land from the City for the purpose of a development at Willets Point, the decision does little to alleviate any concerns about the proposed megamall at the site. First and foremost, the project’s plans have consistently pushed back and minimized the construction of affordable housing – probably the most pressing need the Borough and the City has currently. The judge’s decision notes that the powers for approval of the project no longer lie with the State, but with the office of the Mayor, which has already given the OK to the project. Given Mayor Bill de Blasio’s comments that affordable housing is one of his top priorities, his silence on the Willets Point issue is a bit disconcerting. Perhaps the Mayor considers the project a fait accompli and has no desire to wade into the murky depths of the project. But the Borough already has its fair share of retail complexes. Another mall would do little but create more of the minimum wage jobs that will leave those employees struggling to pay their rent. But those looking for affordable housing will likely have to wait a decade or so before those units are even considered.

In YOur OpInIOn Support A Public Servant

To The Editor: have lived in Queens my whole life and since Senator Tony Avella has been elected, I have seen great improvement. Tony has always been a strong supporter of the spirit of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). He has fought hard to protect the rights of the disabled. For example, Tony has helped remove the obstacles in the entryways of many businesses, among other improvements. No issue is too small for Tony. When I needed a new piece of durable medical equipment (DME) to live independently, my HMO and their vendor sent me the wrong type and, to make matters worse, it was used and abused. I tried multiple times through all the right channels to correct this mistake but nothing happened. After bringing the issue to Tony, within a week, I had my new piece of equipment and no red tape involved. My HMO took responsibility for their part and the vendor had no oth-

er option but to acknowledge, take responsibility and correct the error. Tony’s intervention prevented Medicare and Medicaid waste and fraud. No matter how big or small or how many people it impacts, he is always there to help. When Tony sees a problem, he takes care of it even without being asked. My mom is an octogenarian (at the low end) and has osteoporosis so she must be cautious of the surface she walks and drives. College Point streets and sidewalks have always been overlooked until Tony was elected. Tony has consistently toured the community on his own to ensure sidewalk and street repairs. He make sure NYC Departments and Agencies are aware of their responsibilities and act on them. Our elected officials are often called politicians but I prefer to call Tony a public servant. He isn’t in office as a launch pad to a political career but to genuinely serve his district. I’ve met him and he is genuinely a humble and

regular guy. This is why I will be voting for Tony Avella on September 9. I feel any voter who cares about Queens and its diverse communities will do the same! Suzanne Vilchez, College Point

Celebrate Labor Day

To The Editor: n a variety of commercials, the Geico camel asks, “Do you know what day it is?” Well, let’s forget “movie day” for a moment. It’s time to remember Labor Day. And celebrate it with a vengeance. Respect for the working men and women who built this nation and enabled a stable and thriving middle class is at its lowest point since at least the 1920s. Ideas that not long ago almost everyone viewed as belonging to the lunatic fringe are today becoming almost mainstream. Who of any wing of any party since the New Deal could have envisaged that once again large segments of the country would oppose a minimum wage, pen-

To The Editor: his year, my annual Veterans Barbecue was bigger and the best yet. We had an astounding 100 veterans, both men and women, from my district come out for a Saturday afternoon in Howard Beach. This number is bigger than any number of attendees in the past, and I am thrilled my office and I were able to reach that many veterans, recognize and honor them for their service. As the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs, I make it a priority to extend my own services to the veterans of our State and to, most importantly, show my appreciation for their dedication to our country. It was amazing to see such a wide range of people, from all walks of life and from some of history’s biggest military conflicts, come together for a casual afternoon outside my District Office. We had a local duo perform live music for the guests, including some old-time favorites that brought a few people out of their chairs to dance. To eat, in classic Italian, Howard

sion security, family and medical leave, environmental protection, and due process rights? And that these same folks would vehemently side with bosses and corporations on every issue of any kind that could ever arise. And make excuses for tax immunity for the socalled “wealth creators,” whose assets are often unearned. And agitate for “tort reform” that would in effect deny “the little guy’s” accessibility to the courts and free the “movers and shakers” from accountability. Many prominent Republicans unblushingly advocate a return to economic and social feudalism and the Democrats are in some quarters only nominally less retrograde.

Beach fashion, we were able to offer lasagna, penne a la vodka and more thanks to generous donations. The conversations that could be heard around the tables as people enjoyed their lunch were some that could not be heard most places – guests reflected on their time serving in the Army, Navy and Military and swapped stories. My thanks also to my staff, Pat Connelly and Coleman Post 2565, Fran Scarantino, Laura Lee and Richie, Roger Gendron, Mike Sarter, Howie Kemph, Rileys Yacht Club, Howard Beach Motor Boat Club and the following food contributors – Russo’s on the Bay, Aldo’s Pizza, Prima Pasta, McDonalds, Sugar Bun, The Rail, Gino’s Pizza, Bruno’s Ristorante, Lenny’s Pizza, Ragtime, Frenasia, CrossBay Diner and Pasticceria la Torre Bakery. Without their generosity, this event would not have been possible. It is my hope my staff and I will be fortunate enough to keep the tradition alive and host another barbecue next summer for our nation’s bravest. State Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., Howard Beach Think of the breathtaking infrastructure of our City. Its conception. Its construction. Its upkeep and improvements. Think of the generations of men and women who did the creative planning and grunt work to make this labyrinthine city wondrous beyond words. The sheer artistry and impeccable science of the configuration of structures and connections. It is all ours, whether we toil in the public or private sector. We are the laborers and their descendents who keep this City alive and are kept alive by the City. Labor Day is not a religious holiday, but it is no less sacred. Ron Isaac, Fresh Meadows

NYCHA Video Challenges NYPD Crash Story By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer A newly-released video from the night student Ryo Oyamada was killed by a police car outside Queensbridge houses have called the NYPD’s version of events into question. Oyamada was killed in late February last year when a police car struck him as he was crossing 40th Avenue near 10th Street in Long Island City. The vehicle was operated by Officer Darren Ilardi. At the time, the NYPD stated that Ilardi hit Oyamada while responding to an emergency call and that he was driving with flashing lights. However, NYCHA security video, obtained by the Oyamada family’s attorney Steve Vaccaro, points to a different story. The video, which shows tape from two cameras, does not depict the crash itself, but does likely show events up to and around it, according to Vaccaro. In the righthand camera, Oyamada can be seen walking towards the spot where he was struck. The lefthand camera depicts a police car with no flashing lights driving up 40th Avenue. Almost immediately after the car passes out of the camera’s line of vision, purple flashing lights reflect off of signs and parked cars. Vaccaro said that he believes the footage has been edited by the NYPD,

that its time stamps are incorrect and that images from the two cameras are not synchronized. Regarding whether the car in the footage is the one that struck Oyamada, Vaccaro said, “I frankly think it probably is...if the video had not been edited we would have seen the collision itself.” Of the video’s effect on the Oyamada family, Vaccaro said, “On the one hand, there’s a video of their beloved Ryo just moments before his death, and it saddened them. On the other hand…they feel on a

certain level vindicated.” Vaccaro said the NYPD has also refused requests for Officer Ilardi’s cell phone records on the night of the accident. “I was dismayed and shocked,” Vaccaro said. Citing the police car’s drifting towards the double yellow line, visible in the NYCHA video, he said it seems “possible, perhaps likely” that Ilardi was distracted. Vaccaro said other information he is hoping to obtain includes the names of eyewitnesses to the accident and the

documents other than official police investigation reports. The Oyamada family filed an $8 million lawsuit against the City last year. Vaccaro said a motion is pending to amend the compliant to state claims concerning NYPD cover up of evidence, including the editing of the NYCHA footage. The NYPD did not respond to requests for comment on this story. Reach Jackie Strawbridge at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128, jstrawbridge@ queenstribune.com or @JNStrawbridge.

for how they will select the successor and when they will begin accepting applications. According to a memo about the plans the committee sent out to CB9, there will be 12 members of the search committee, consisting of the four executive committee members, including its Chairperson, Ralph Gonzalez, and eight other members of CB9. The 12 members evenly represent the four neighborhoods that represent CB9, Woodhaven (J. Richard Smith, Maria Thomson and Naidoo Veerapen), Ozone Park (Ralph Gonzalez, Dr. Vincent Evangelista and Scott Jordan), Richmond Hill (Raj Ramp-

ershad, Latchman Budai and Regina Santoro), and Kew Gardens (Marie Turley, Inderpaul Ahluwalia and Kevin O’Leary). Gonzalez said the members were chosen because it gives them a chance to be more involved in the process of picking Carey’s successor. “We wanted to be more inclusive with all the members of the board,” he said. Gonzalez said the 12 members will define the actual process to decide the new District Manager and bring it to the full board for a vote.

New Play Brings Jackson Heights To The Stage By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer A glimpse of the many faces and stories behind Jackson Heights’ nightlife is taking the stage in Manhattan. Theatre 167 will perform their piece, “I Like To Be Here: Jackson Heights Revisited, or, This Is A Mango,” as part of the Theater:Village festival throughout September in Manhattan’s West Village. The plot spans one late night out in Jackson Heights and incorporates a slew of diverse characters. Director Ari Kreith, who has lived in Jackson Heights for about eight years, said Theatre 167 was born of the multicultural, multilingual aesthetic she absorbed in the neighborhood. “I was really interested in expressing what it feels like to live in such an extraordinarily diverse community,” Kreith said. The name Theatre 167 refers to the number of languages

spoken in Jackson Heights. “I L i ke To B e Here” is a continuation of “The Jackson Heights Trilogy,” a set of earlier Theatre 167 pieces. This work will incorporate some characters originally found in the trilogy as well as new ones, although Kreith stresses that “I Like To Be Here” is a standalone piece. Kreith listed a few of the many characters and relationships represented in the play, including a theatre gay policeman from Jackson L ong Is l and an d atre. the young Jackson Heights native he meets, an urban Manhattanite and his older Irish aunt and a Bangladeshi cab driver in love with an Ecuadorian bread maker. “One of the magical things that Jackson Heights has to of-

Catering To Your Every Desire When it comes to catering, you want a place that fulfills all of your needs, while also managing to exceed your expectations. If you are looking for a fantastic Italian catering service that does all that and more, then Matese Caterers should be your first stop. Matese came to the Queens Tribune office on Tuesday with a plethora of food. The Flushing restaurant puts an extreme amount of care into every item it creates. The work pays off with delicious, mouthwatering dishes that will leave you satisfied and anticipating your next Matese meal. The Matese chefs have a wide range, mastering everything from crispy mozzarella sticks to more subtle stuffed mushrooms or baked clams. The mushrooms in particular were well-seasoned and held a perfect texture. In terms of the main courses, the chicken parmigiana had a perfect balance of meat, sauce and cheese, all melded together for maximum flavor. The eggplant parmigiana was no slouch either! The chicken marsala was equally incredible, juicy

and slathered in sauce. The Frutti Di Mare offers a veritable cornucopia of deliciously cooked seafood, covered in just the right amount of marinara sauce that features a pinch of spice to stimulate the palette while not overpowering the natural saltiness of the shrimp, clams, mussels and calamari. Another great entrée were the stuffed shells, perfectly portioned with a generous serving

of ricotta cheese wrapped in the baked pasta and covered with a sweet tomato sauce that would remind any Italian of their grandmother’s home cooking. Matese also pays attention to the staples and sides of an Italian meal. Fresh, salty garlic bread accompanied all entrees well, while the penne and linguini were cooked al dente and stood up with a variety of rich sauces. Then there is the pizza. The gourmet pies are another highlight in a restaurant packed to the rafters with highlights. The barbecue chicken slice was bursting with flavor and filling enough to make a lunch on its own. The white slice was terrific, with a ton of ricotta cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza had a perfect flavor, the right amount of kick without being overpowering.

can exist anywhere in the world.” According to playwright and Theatre 167 cofounder Jenny Bader, the writing process involved late night research in the area. She noted that they interviewed a policeman at a diner, saw a drag show at Club Atlantis – now called Club Evolution – visited an area barbershop and ultimately drew up a map that they used to plot the movement of their characters. “ W h at’s e x c i t i n g about ‘I Like To Be Here’ is it exposes audiences to people they might not know,” Bader said. “I

think it’s saying people aren’t necessarily who you think they are – you don’t necessarily know them – but they also can be better than you think. They can be different than you think.” “I Like To Be Here” will join three other new plays in the Theater:Village festival lineup. The goal of Theater:Village is to present an annual series of new plays based on a common theme. Entitled “E Pluribus,” this year’s festival presents pieces that celebrate diversity in America. Performances will take place at the New Ohio Theatre. For a full schedule and tickets, visit www.NewOhioTheatre.org.

Pope Francis, Meet Mr. Met

CONFIDENTIAL

Page 62 Tribune Aug. 28 - Sept. 3, 2014 • www.queenstribune.com

Musicians OF QuEEns

The Gantry

QConf is edited by: Steven J. Ferrari

Public Advocate Letitia James wrote a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio requesting that serious consideration be given to hosting Pope Francis at Citi Field if he decides to accept the Mayor’s request to visit the City. She noted the state of the art facility, its prime location in Queens and easy access as reasons for making it an ideal location. Catholics of the Brooklyn Diocese serves 1.4 million Catholics in Brooklyn and Queens and the Catholics in the Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church of Long Island, which has 1.5 million

followers, all have access to mass transit directly to Citi Field. Queens also has one of the most diverse collection of residents, who speak more than 138 languages and has a strong Catholic presence in the Mexican, Central and South Americans, Asian, Polish, Italian, Irish, African, German, Dominican, Puerto Rican and Caribbean communities. While it would be a honor for Queens and Citi Field to host His Eminence, we here at QConf only ask that Mr. Met gets to drive the Popemobile around the field while Pope Francis waves to crowd.

An Unfortunate Name

Steinway Street in Astoria is home to a number of hookah lounges, but one stands out a bit, given the turmoil in the Middle East. The Isis Hookah Lounge - named for the Egyptian goddess, not the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - has a number of locations nationwide, including this Astoria spot. We wonder, though, if anyone has been avoiding the establishment lately...

Simply the Best Submission We received more than 100 submissions for “Best of Queens” this year, detailing our readers’ favorite Queens establishments. But not everybody seemed to understand the point. One reader submission gave us some personal preferences, without listing any particulars. Some of this reader’s “bests” include: Breakfast: Eggs with sausage and harsh (sic) brown. Steak: I like it well done. Hair Salon: My hair needs

to be set every two weeks. Gym: I go to aquatic exercise at least three to four days. Movie Theater: I like certain movies. Park: I like to go to the park. Your Personal Best: My personal best is cooking. I cooked good food. We’re sorry to say, dear reader, your selections did not make our list this year. But you certainly win the award for most amusing submission.

Get a Whiff of Queens

You can now spray the smell of Queens on your body prior to leaving for work or before you go on a hot date. Bond No. 9, a Manhattanbased boutique store, is releasing a new perfume that pays tribute to the Borough in time to cele br at e t h e 50th anniversary of the World’s Fair next month. The purple-colored bottle features the Unisphere on one side and a chic-looking “Q” on the other. The scent, designed for both men and women, is inspired by Queens Catherine of Braganza, who was married to King Charles II of England. If you want to walk around, proudly wearing the scent of Queens, it’s going to cost you. The product will reportedly cost $195 for a 50 ml. bottle, $110 for a body lotion and $105 for candles.

Look for exclusive content online at queenstribune.com

When you listen to The Gantry, you are instantly thrown back to old school American rock and roll, with passionate, folksy vocals, a tight rhythm section and sharp guitar playing. They sound like one of those bands that can offer something appealing to anyone. The Astoria band had a classic origin story as well. Frontman and guitarist Kevin Goldhahn attended some open mics run by a musician collective called Big City Folk. While he had been away from music for a while, the sessions inspired him and he started writing again. He started jamming with Jeff Kay, a guitarist and bartender at Sunswick 35/35 Bar in Astoria. Goldhahn asked Kay's help with recording a solo EP, which was well-received. Goldhahn started playing gigs for his EP throughout the City, with Kay and bassist Tim Cornish joining him. The three musicians hit it off really well and started coming up with new material together. These songs would form the basis of The Gantry's first album, "Years and Years." "We recorded 'Years And Years' in Coney Island with our friend and producer Brandon Wilde. We did alot of rehearsal and pre-recording stuff at the Astoria Sound Works before we went into the studio," Goldhahn said. "The recording process itself was really pleasant and easy. Brandon was easy to work with and the studio was by the beach so it was pretty relaxing." The debut was released in the fall of 2012. Soon after, The Gantry completed their

lineup with the addition of drummer Adam Knobloch, who they found through Craigslist. With a stable roster and a strong first album, the band took to the road, playing several tours, including a stop at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Tex. "SXSW was awesome and we can't wait to go back. We played a few public shows in the city as well as a house party in East Austin and had a blast. We met great people and made some good connections from it," Goldhahn said. "The worst part of it, though, was when Kevin's checked music gear was flown to the wrong airport in Richmond, Va. Thankfully, he had a very good friend who's mom lives in Richmond and picked it up for him." The Gantry is hard at work on their second album, due out in early 2015. The band said that it is aiming for a darker sound than what can be found on "Years and Years." According to Goldhahn, the music seemed to naturally be moving in that direction. "It wasn't totally intentionally, we just kind of drifted away from the folk sound. All of the songs sound a little bit more dynamic and high energy," he said. "The lyrics are also a bit darker and deeper in emotion. I think that just comes from gaining more life experiences, reading more, and trying to write better songs." In terms of concerts, you can catch The Gantry in Brooklyn on Sept. 27 at Union Hall. To keep up with all the latest sights and sounds, visit www.thegantrymusic.com.
