Queens Deadline Caste Aside:

Parents Defy Rule To Raise Children By JESSICA ABLAMSKY Sujit Dhakal has tried to protect his son from the consequences of the sin that began his child’s life, one that Dhakal no longer believes is wrong. To Sujit Dhakal’s fat her, the sin was unforgivable, earning the young man the enmity of his entire close-knit clan. Eventually, it cost h im ever yt hing. A small, bespectacled man, Dhakal’s words come quickly. His mind moves quicker. Nearly half a world from Nepal, where he was raised, he and his wife Ranu share a small Elmhurst apartment w it h their 8month-old daughter Samriddhi, and 7-yearold son Samarpan. Samarpan means sacrifice, Dhakal explained. The name is a constant reminder to the couple that their sacrifices made his life possible. “He is the symbol of our love,” Dhakal said. One of the world’s oldest religions, Hinduism’s ancient caste-based prejudices thrive in Nepal’s largely or thodox society. Dhakal and Ranu’s stor y is perhaps the world’s olde st, the stuff that fairy tale s are made of. The first-born son from an elite caste, Dhakal was expected to marry a fellow Brahmin. Instead, he fell in love with a woman from the lower Newar caste. Although Ranu was not untouchable, she was an unacceptable choice for marriage. The two met on the job. The deputy editor of a newspaper, Dhakal was assigned to oversee intern Ranu’s work. Despite their different upbringings, they had values and views in common. “She has a ver y good nature,” Dhakal said. “She is so calm. She always helps people. She has that kind of heart.” When he proposed, it was to a woman he loved without ever having kissed. “Once I tried, and she said, ‘No, you cannot until we are married,’” he said.

sidered normal such treatment of their untouchable housekeepers. It was his intercaste romance that inspired a new way of thinking. Ranu never wanted to come between Dhakal and his family, but he assured her, “I can give up my family for you.” Although he hoped things would be different, after he proposed, Ranu’s worst fears came true. “If you get married, you are dead to me,” his father said after the couple’s twoyear cour tship.

In Hinduism, the most impor tant event in a boy’s life is a coming of age ritual known as Bratabandha. A purification, it makes a boy a full par ticipant in religious life. Without it, he cannot take par t in any religious ceremonies. Dhakal’s ceremony took place at the holiest site in Nepal, a shrine dedicated to the goddess Sita, in the region said to be her birthplace. This is what he wanted for his son. They planned to send Samarpan to Nepal with Ranu’s father, where the boy would go through the ceremony. When word reached local or t ho dox religious orga nizat ions, Samarpan’s life was threatened, and the trip was quickly cancelled. Instead, Samarpan will go through Bratabandha in the United States, where he is safe. The children might visit Nepal someday, Dhakal said. “I don’t want them to experience a society that does not accept them,” he said. His mission now is to advocate for the end of caste-based oppression. “I will be the advocate of intercaste,” Dhakal said. “There should be no barrier [to love].” Reach Reporter Jessica Ablamsky at jablamsky@queenstribune.com or (718) 357-7400, Ext. 124.

By JESSICA ABLAMSKY The future of water front development in Queens seems to focus heavily on “human-powered” boating, expanded access to the water and other recreational development. According to recently released draft recommendations for the City’s Comprehensive Water front Plan, water front objectives include expanding public access to waterfront and waterways, support ing economic development, habitat restoration, preparation for climate change and other goals. Draft recommendations are the culmination of eight public meetings, including one in each borough, and cover all waterfront areas in Queens. Recommendations for key areas in Queens focus largely on public access and recreational oppor tunities, commercial development and habitat improvement. “Human-powered-boat” launches are recommended for MacNeil Park in College Poi nt, the Second Street boat launch in Hunter’s Point, the 80th Street Marina site in the Rockaways and feature an upgrade to the boat launch on Manhattan Avenue at Newtown Creek. Improved public access is recommended in College Point at the Rock Crushing Site; in Hunter’s Point along the East River at the 44th Drive Parking lot and under the Queensboro Bridge; and in the Rockaways for the boardwalk at Arverne by the Sea,

city-owned sites at Beach Channel Park from 125th Street to 130th Street and Idlewild Park. Habitat enhancement and/or protection is recommended along the East River in Astoria and Hunter’s Point at Pot Cove, Hallets Cove, the Broadway Street Extension, under the Queensborough Bridge, 44th Drive and Hunter’s Point South; along Newtown Creek in Hunter’s Point and Long Island City; and in the Rockaways in the Arverne Urban Renewal Area at a planned educational center and nature preserve and in Idlewild Park. Other recommendations include improving maintenance of the Flushing Bay Esplanade, improving pedestrian and bike connections between Flushing and Willets Point on Nort hern Boulevard a nd Roosevelt Avenue Bridges, exploring options for redevelopment in the Anabale Basin in Hunter’s Point and promoting goods transpor t on Newtown Creek. The deadline for public comment on the final plan is rapidly approaching. A public meeting to review the plan and accept comments is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 12 in Ma nhat ta n. To comment onli ne, go to nyc.gov/dcp by Friday, Nov. 12 at 5 p.m. The final plan is expected by the end of the year.

Waterfront Plan Goal Is Enhanced Access

With DiNapoli’s OK, VLT Deal Is Official ney General Andrew Cuomo last month. It was awaiting approval from DiNapoli, who has been accused of dragging his feet on the contract. DiNapoli patently rejected the idea that his office took too long to approve the deal. “This is one of the most impor tant vendor contract s New York has ever signed,” he said. “The VLT contract involves hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s a 30-year license that carries the future of New York’s racing industr y on its back. My office did this right and we did it expeditiously without sacrificing thoroughness. We took ever y step to ensure the taxpayers are safeguarded in this contract. It’s Ne w Yorkers’ mone y; it’s my job to protect it.” With the contract’s final approval, the state should now receive the $380 million down payment Genting had promised to pay in its bid, and construction is expected to begin on the site with the VLTs expected to be operational mid-winter.

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

By ANGY ALTAMIRANO Queens Fashion Week is back for the second of its biannual shows, taking place Sept. 16-18 in Long Island City. Queens Fashion Week is a series of fashion and networking events that shine a spotlight on the trendy goods and services available in Queens and its surrounding areas. Queens Fashion Week follows the official fashion week seasons of the fall (in February) and spring (in September). The three days will include independent designers, boutiques, celebrities, fashion executives and buyers. Last February's show had as a special guest plus-sized model, Mia Amber. The event's Executive Producer Delali Haligah said "this season we have seven new and talented designers with cutting edge style to showcase." "As a borough, we have been exposed to multicultural ideas for decades due to the sheer nature of our very ethnically mixed communities," Haligah said of the borough fashion sense. Kicking off Queens Fashion Week on this Thursday is a "Meet the Designers" event, which will take place at the Manhattan View

Edit Page In Our Opinion:

Our Greatest Freedom Part one of the election cycle is now over. The ballot will soon be set for the Nov. 2 election, and yes, there are actually some races out there. But if we don't vote, we all lose out, because then the victors are decided by a vocal minority rather than by the true nature of Democracy - one person, one vote. The turnout for this Tuesday's primary election was abysmal, and without a major contest to draw people to the polls on Nov. 2, turnout may not look so good for the final contest in six weeks. We are electing a governor, an attorney general, a state comptroller, both of our U.S. Senators, members of Congress, State Senators and Assemblymen all on one day. Short of Councilmen, that includes every legislative officer we have the opportunity to elect. To turn our backs on the process at a time such as this would be a serious injustice and a slap in the face of the very democracy that offers us the right to cast our vote. We must not allow complacency or the perception that individual votes don't matter to keep us from our civic duty. The last day to register to vote if you have not done so is Oct. 7. Exercise your greatest freedom and vote on Nov. 2.

In Your Opinion: You Asked For It

Stop Slaughter

To The Editor: I will be calling David Weprin today to congratulate him on his win in the Democratic Primary. Although we were not victorious, I take comfort in knowing that we gave voters a choice in an election where usually there is none. The results of the Primary elections citywide send a clear and resounding message that the status quo is acceptable. Although we have had five consecutive years of double-digit water rate increases, elimination of critical bus service, the imposition of a sales tax on clothing starting Oct. 1 and crushing property taxes that have hit homeowners and co-ops hard, elected officials seem to be immune. By re-electing all sitting incumbents, Democrat voters have sent a strong message that these representatives bear no responsibility for their actions. The message that resonates is that no one is held accountable for the actions of our state legislature. This disconnect between cause and effect seems particularly troublesome in New York. As a fully engaged member of the community, I will continue to work with our elected officials and alongside my fellow civic leaders to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Bob Friedrich President, Glen Oaks Village

To The Editor: Thank you Queens Farm Museum Director Boncardo, for continuing to make clear that you do not care that local residents and visitors to the farm do not want you instructing the farm workers to eat the ducks or any animals from the farm museum and want the killing of the farm animals and wildlife to stop. I would hope my elected representative, Sen. Frank Padavan, who brags, "I helped support and establish ...Queens County Farm Museum," would be more interested in what I and more than 500 of his constituents have called, written, e-mailed and petitioned we want for the farm museum, and do what we elected him to do, represent our interests. According to Eyewitness News Investigators in 2009, "State Senator Frank Padavan again this year gave the Queens County Farm Museum $110,000." No voice when it comes to policy at the farm? Gimme a break. Stop the slaughter Senator Padavan. Caroline Lee, Esq. Douglaston

Ground Zero solely on pragmatic grounds, since no Islamic terrorists in their right minds would blow up the Ground Zero site again, because then they would be blowing themselves up. I rest my case. Joseph N. Manago, Briarwood

Disrespect To The Editor: I was appalled after reading and watching on TV the vociferous demonstrations over the proposed mosque that took place at this year's anniversary of 9/11.This anniversary was supposed to be a day of remembrance, reflection and prayer for all the lives that were lost on that day of infamy. It is not a day to push forward an agenda either pro or con that could have been postponed a day out of respect for all those who lost their lives on that day nine years ago. What could have these people been thinking? Maybe that the issue might lose steam and go away? I think not. The mentality of these people makes one question their level of intelligence. 9/ 11 is what it is, a day of respect and not disrespect. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Glen Oaks

Tennis Histor y To The Editor: In the center ring of the tennis world at the moment is another U.S. Open. Off to one side is some action reported in these pages that could be of much greater consequence to the legacy of the sport. The Open's traditional home, the shuttered 1923 West Side Tennis Club stadium in Forest Hills, may not survive. Unused for matches since 1978, the stadium has decayed despite a brief second life as a concert venue. The Club is to vote Sept. 23 on sale of the property to developer Cord Meyer for a reported $9 million for redevelopment in condominiums. It is zoned for residential and not protected as an historic landmark by New York City law. Although the developer says it will preserve the historic stadium façade, city regulations would not legally bar its demolition, nor, it seems, would the private covenants of the elite Forest Hills Gardens community. The Tennis Industry Association has endorsed landmarking, and political leaders from the area have asked the city to study the feasibility of such designation. With good reason. Tennis history in the United States has a name: Forest Hills, the Wimbledon of the New World. The upscale sport has made Forest Hills the only neighMarcia Moxam Comrie, Contributing Editor Reporters: Sasha Austrie, Harley Benson, Joseph Orovic, Domenick Rafter, Jessica Ablamsky

borhood in this oft-ignored borough known around the globe. No surprise that the community is probably the most sought-after place to live in Queens. Tennis put Forest Hills on the map and gave it a classy brand. And just as with consumer products, an esteemed brand is a value-enhancing economic asset to a neighborhood and its residents and property owners. The Forest Hills tennis brand may be worth a lot more than just a few more housing units in an already crowded part of the city. Every residential neighborhood in New York has housing. Only one has a revered historic tennis center. Smart companies are reawakening to the economic value of the brands that helped make them successful. ExxonMobil has revived its decades-old flying red horse with that in mind. Viewed in terms of the value of branding, the movement to save the stadium is more than just nostalgic sentimentality. Understandably, the Tennis Club has not sought landmark status that might limit its options. Ordinances that bar demolition or substantial alteration of historic buildings have raised serious property rights issues in New York and elsewhere when they in effect ask private property owners to pay for the benefit to the public of continuing to enjoy an undisturbed historic building. But without such protections, cities can lose irreplaceable treasures like the predecessor of today's Penn Station, the demolition of which energized historic preservation in this city. There is, however, an as yet littlenoted win-win solution that New York invented. It has been used to preserve historic structures, open spaces and environmental areas nationwide while keeping property owners whole. Transferable Development Rights (TDR) can move the development potential defined by the zoning of such properties to another site and allow the property owner to be compensated for the loss. Landmark the stadium, build the number of new homes allowed on its site somewhere else, and pay the Tennis Club what they would have realized from the sale for redevelopment. The stadium could then neither be razed nor otherwise developed but might be devoted to neighborhood-compatible low-intensity uses. TDR can be complex to work out. But even in crowded New York, there are other places for more housing. There's only one Forest Hills. Retaining the visible evidence of decades-long association with an upscale sport by a place with an international reputation may be a better bet economically than building on its few remaining square feet Alan J.

of open land. A player who loses at the Open can come back. A venerated historic building that is lost cannot. Holding off on a sale to consider TDR and other uses a rehabilitated stadium could be put to might be the best course. More housing is surely the least imaginative solution to the future of a very special place. John L. Gann, Jr., Cleveland,Ohio John L.

No Double Dip To The Editor: Did you hear about the recent short-lived candidacy of former New York State Conservative Party Executive Director and Republican/ Conservative State Sen. Serf Maltese for Executive Director of the New York City Board of Elections? Six of 10 NYC Board of Elections commissioners (there is one Democrat and one Republican from each of the five boroughs usually sponsored by their respective county party organization) voted to select someone else, which may have been a blessing in disguise for Maltese. By accepting this position, Maltese would have double dipped by also collecting Social Security and his handsome pension as a former State Senator, which would have robbed taxpayers. Double dipping by public employees is adding to public debt and depriving unemployed people of job opportunities. Mr. Maltese can continue serving constituents by volunteering his time with the League of Women Voters or other private non-profit civic associations. Larry Penner Great Neck

Bringing An Inner Clown To Surface

To say Tom O'Connor cuts an unassuming figure would mock the term "understatement." The low key, soft-spoken Flushing native is the anti-humor mill, drier than the Sahara. But then again, first impressions are sometimes wrong, as O'Connor proves when he takes the stage as "Professor Dabby," a lovable, zany goofball commanding chuckles from audiences. "You put on a crazy wig, lab coat and glasses and it just happens," he said. The 47-year-old believes the same modesty betrays the inner comedian within a lot of the borough's kids. It is why he, with his son Devon, is launching a comedy school for children on Sept. 27 at 11-02 Clintonville St. in Whitestone. The 4Laughs School of Comedy will feature instruction from a wide variety of folks working in the ha-ha field. From writers to improvisational comics to the old fashioned solo punchline artBen Siciliano and Adam Morrow's interest has fueled ists, kids will have an optheir parents' drive to start a lacrosse league in Queens. portunity to learn a variety of comedic stylings

Tom O’Connor inside the newly renovated home of the 4Laughs Comedy school. from working professionals. "What we're going to be doing is taking your most natural way of being and developing it into something funny," O'Connor said. The three-tiered, eight-week program will give kids an opportunity to expand their creativity, improve their communication skills and put their inner jester to good use. "The little kid who is the class clown, that may be something that can be developed into something great," O'Connor said. But the school itself is not limited to the kids who minic bodily noises best. In his experience, O'Connor said even wallflowers have an inner joker that needs to be cajoled. "The class clown is definitely a good candidate for this," he said. "But there's also the kid like me, sitting in the corner not bothering anybody who just needs a boost." Growing up, he said kids were most often instructed to be seen and not heard. The dynamic has changed a bit lately, but O'Connor does expect parents to be hesitant. He hopes the prospect of a livelier, funnier and more outgoing child may overcome those fears. And of course, it is set in a low-key academic environment. "This is learning but there's also a lot of fun," he said. "If you could get a positive reaction from somebody, then that's all you can really ask for."

Professor Dabby himself may make an appearance in week nine, when the kids will have their own material recorded and broadcast on Queens Public Television. But that's looking far ahead. As it stands, the 4Laughs Comedy School has garnered a decent amount of interest. Should it build into a solid program, it could transform into a troupe of hilarious youngsters. "The future? I'm a positive person so the future is bright," O'Connor said. "But right now I'm just a boy with a dream." To find out more about the 4Laughs Comedy school, visit 4LaughsComedy.com.

The annals of Forest Hills' sports history include the U.S. Open, a flourishing Little League and Girls' Softball League, and soccer. Well, if the efforts of two Forest Hills parents pay off, you can add lacrosse to the list. "Lacrosse?!" you may ask. Right. That's exactly the response Brad Siciliano and Liz Morrow are up against. The duo has spent the better part of a year fulfilling the wish of their 10-year-old sons, Adam and Ben. The two bosom buddies' interest in the sport inspired their parents to begin a grassroots campaign to establish lacrosse as a go-to pastime for Queens' kids. Realizing there is no solid foundation for lacrosse within the borough, Siciliano decided to set one himself. "There is no lacrosse culture in Forest Hills," Siciliano said. "I'm approaching kids who have never even heard of the sport and families who have never been familiar with the sport." Like its more popular counterparts, lacrosse requires a sizeable squad and space to play - but it has the additional burden of costly equipment. Adam and Ben aside, the parents lacked all three in the beginning. In the spring of 2009, Siciliano began researching ways to begin a league - or anything really. Things did not start snowballing until May of this year, when he discovered a lacrosse program at St. John's University geared towards teenage boys. "There didn't seem to be a beginner program," he said. "There's a pretty steep learning curve in lacrosse and we didn't want to throw them into a situation where they weren't happy because they were playing against kids so much better than them." The Red Storm Lacrosse Assistant Coach Dan Paccione offered to host a five-week session for youngsters on St. John's home turf at a discounted price. "[Siciliano] didn't know how to introduce them to the game," Paccione said. "I told him I'd love to meet with them. Now we have flyers going up all over town." Then things slowly began falling into place. Armed with a field and a coach, Siciliano and Morrow focused on filling up the program's 25 open spots. Siciliano realized many people have an unknown connection to the sport; several kids had lacrosse equipment just sitting around the house, unused. "There's actually an interest and a desire but there's no outlet," he said. A bit of research and help landed a chance encounter with Mat Levine, the de facto godfather of lacrosse in New York City. As

the founder of the city's only lacrosse club, CityLax, he has been an invaluable guide for the two parents. "I don't know anything about Lacrosse and starting a league from scratch," Siciliano said. "Mat spent hours on the phone with me, just talking through issues before we even started going forward." But the question remains… Lacrosse? Though Siciliano and Morrow both came from big lacrosse-playing colleges (Cornell and Syracuse respectively), Siciliano cannot pinpoint where Ben's enthusiasm for the sport started. "I'm not really sure," he said, grasping for an explanation. "His godfather played lacrosse in Cornell and he's kind of seen it around." Things are still on a small scale for lacrosse - both as a whole and certainly within the borough. Siciliano is still struggling to find enough equipment. The gear can cost hundreds of dollars. He does not want that to deter kids from joining, so he has been seeking out donations and shelling out some of his own cash. What surprised him most was the support of other lacrosse fanatics. "I have been blind emailing lacrosse clubs in the Tristate area," Siciliano said. "People have called up, they've offered equipment, they've offered time to coach. The lacrosse community is the most supportive community I've ever been involved with." Siciliano's ambition (Morrow swears he is the superstar here) has one goal in mind. "We want to field teams that are recreational," he said. "We want to be able to have them come out twice a week and still have them play baseball." Morrow's goal is simpler. "Let the kids have another place to have fun," she said. "If they're going out there and playing and meeting new kids and having a good time, then that's all we can ask for."

Parents' Goal Is Lacrosse For Kids

You Never Ask Questions When God’s On Your Side By MICHAEL SCHENKLER Do you think your religion is better, holier, more just or more righteous than the other religions of the world?

Do you think following your religion makes you holier, safer, healthier, more at peace now, tomorrow or in some after life, than those who follow another religion or no religion at all? Is your god (or is it God?) The God? The supreme deity only answerable to the name you call him or her? Or is he, or she, or whatever, a god by any other name? Religion may be helping you personally. One’s faith often provides the motivation in difficulty

and the solace in bad times. But is religion really helping the world? Nope, I’m not going to do the history thing. I’m not going to cite the Crusades, the Holocaust, the religious war the IRA fought with England or the 60-plus year war fought in the Middle East since one religion got a tiny corner of land surrounded by another religion. There are more, plenty of others, and they are not my topic today. As a matter of fact, I don’t really have a topic. I’m just tired of the Muslim bashing, the threatened Koran burning, the mosque moving, and the blaming of Islam for all that is wrong with the Western World. Now, before you think I’m taking sides, I understand recent history. Today is 9-11. And no, I can’t forget either. But do the fanatics represent the mainstream? Must the masses in downtrodden lands rise up against the fanatics in order to prove they are not extremists themselves? Need Muslims here pray to Allah and then curse the acts of terror done in his name in order

to purify their religion in your eyes? Do you really believe the religion is out to get you? Us? The written word of perhaps ever y religion has gone too far. Perhaps times or values change or perhaps interpretations do. I remember my son Lee’s Bar Mitzvah in 1992. Rabbi Donna Berman stopped Lee’s reading of the Torah a nd told those assembled, “We will skip this portion; it speaks of stoning the gays.” You mean my religion advocated (or god forbid, practiced) violence against people because of their sexual orientation? Do you think other religions may have writings, prayers, or history which could make men and women of good will cringe? Does the sexual abuse scandal of the Catholic Church make all Catholics bad, sex abusers or evil? Those who have failed to condemn their priests who sexually abused underage boys, are they evil? God, are we all evil? Do we ever forgive?

Do we ever forget? My in-laws and my religion survived the concentration camps and yet one of my cars is German. Am I wrong? Is it ever over? Yup. On this occasion of the 9th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, perhaps it’s not a Muslim moment to shine. But we’ve all had our moments and history is lit tered with the bodies of victims of misguided religious leaders and fanatics. You don’t really believe that anyone’s god (or is it God) is responsible, do you? Do you think your religion is better, holier, more just or more righteous than the other religions of the world? Do you think following your religion makes you holier, safer, healthier, more at peace now, tomorrow or in some after life, than those who follow another religion or no religion at all? What lesson do you think your God would want mankind to learn from that horrendous day nine years ago? Peace. MSchenkler@QueensTribune.com

With God On Our Side by Bob Dylan Selected stanzas

Oh my name it is nothin’ My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I’s taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God on its side. But now we got weapons Of the chemical dust If fire them we’re forced to Then fire them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God’s on your side. So now as I’m leavin’ I’m weary as Hell The confusion I’m feelin’ Ain’t no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor If God’s on our side He’ll stop the next war.

Rattner Credits Harry Wilson With Saving GM By HENRY STERN A surprising ar ticle on the Internet — Wayne Bar ret t of t he Vil lage Voice wrote a column on “Runnin’ Scared,” the Voice’s polit ical blog. That title was used in the 1960’s for a Voice column writ ten by Mar y Perot Henry Nichols (1926-96), a scourge of corrupt politicians. The article was headed: “Harry Wilson’s War; Steve Rattner Credits Much of GM’s Rescue To Obscure Comptroller Candidate.” It is a fascinating account by Rattner, the former car czar now under fire for paying the tribute required by the disgraced Alan Hevesi to do business with the New York State pension funds. In his new book, “Overhaul,” Rattner describes the Federal intervention which not only saved General Motors from bankruptcy and possible liquidation, but rescued thousands of suppliers to GM from the prospect of substantial losses. This would have led to escalating unemployment, primarily in middle America. He gives Harry Wilson credit for the government strategy and for persuading/threatening creditors, bondholders, unions and the company into accepting it. Wilson, at this point practically a complete unknown, is the Republican candidate for State Comptroller, opposing incumbent Thomas P. DiNapoli, who was installed by Assembly Democrats, led by Speaker Sheldon Silver, when

Hevesi was forced to resign from the position to which he had just been re-elected. DiNapoli has now been Comptroller for three and one half years, and is running for what would in fact be a second term. Meanwhile, the state Stern has plunged further into financial disaster, with the Comptroller issuing periodic warnings against overspending. It is said in politics that the Comptroller must be more fiscally responsible than the Governor (or the Mayor), but how much more re sponsible he should be is debatable. There is a great difference bet ween pious statements and using the powers of the office to restrain spending. However, considering: “Do not bite the hand that feeds you,” it is understandable that an unelected official not tangle too fiercely with the legislative leaders who gave him the honored position that he holds, an office that will benefit him for the rest of his life as his pension will be computed on his highest three years in salar y, and the job pays $151,500, which really isn’t much for the sole trustee of funds that have exceeded $120 billion. The salary suggests: “He who pays the piper calls the tune.” The theme in both adage s, e voke s: “Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.” When Hevesi was Comptroller, he received two pensions, one for his legislative service for 20 years, and

the other for his professorship at the Cit y Universit y of Ne w York. Hevesi was a triple dipper. No one knows for sure what a person will do once elected, and we have been both pleased and disappointed over the years by the action and inaction of public officials. More often than not, their per formance falls shor t of their promises. We have deliberately not gone into the details of what Wilson did with GM. They are laid out in Bar ret t’s ar ticle, and are relatively complicated for readers who are not that financially sophisticated. The plan, however, seems to have worked out well so far with the company showing multi-billion dollar profits midway through 2010. The success so far of the GM intervention reflects credit on the Obama administration and the people who put the plan together. The difference between financial brilliance and political success, however, is wide and deep. Before there is any kind of a contest for State Comptroller, people will have to learn who the candidates are. If they know, they can make their choice, applying whatever standards they see fit. If they do not, the election is likely to be a formality. Races for lesser offices tend to attract minimum attention, and in this case there was no primary in either party which would have provided opportunity for exposure by the candidates. That has a disproportionate negative effect

on the less well-known candidate, in this case Wilson. The next eight weeks will show us whether the Republican candidate can ignite wide spread feelings against incumbency and the public demand for fiscal responsibility and truth in budgeting into suppor t for himself. T he more people who find out about Harry Wilson, the more likely that possibility will become. But the odds are against Wilson because of the predicted Democratic blowout for governor a nd t he t wo S enate seats, and because the public is even less aware of the Comptroller race than the primar y for At-

torney General, where five candidate s are competing to oppose Daniel Donovan, District Attorney of Staten Island, the Republican nominee. The current AG is Andrew Cuomo, who is, as you know, seeking higher office. The Republican ticket this year is stronger at the bottom than at the top. Their task is to identify themselve s to t he voter s a nd present their case. But in a state with 19 million people, spread over different media markets, that is far easier said than done, unless the ca ndidate approache s Bloombergian resources. StarQuest@NYCivic.org

Turning Tragic Day Into One Of Joy nytails of hair or piles of cash for the foundation. For a $10 donation, customers go a "free" haircut. Jennifer Caparelli, who is a mother and was donating hair, said she could relate to the hardships of the families dealing with cancer. She hoped the donations would help "ease the emotions and stress of cancer" for the children. Joining her daughter Jennifer, Denise Russo believed this to be "an excellent cause." Having dealt with her own mother's death due to cancer, Russo goes to many benefits and would come back to donate with "no ifs, ands or buts." The event was advertised around the community but spread through word of mouth to nearby boroughs and counties. The youngest of the donors was Alyssa Gomez, 11, who said she was doing it for the children who had to deal with a recent loss in the family due to cancer. She was nervous while sitting on the salon chair as 10 inches were cut, yet a smile met the end of the scissor when she noticed she would also be able to get a new hairstyle. Nicole Castriota, manager of the salon and Stella's daughter, said she felt the spirits were up for a day like Saturday, commemorating the nine-year anniversary of the attacks on Sept. 11. Along with being motivated by the donations, Giorgio's thrived to stay on the path of the company's main motto: "The customer comes Giorgio’s staffer snips off a donation for Locks of first." When it comes to their customLove.

By ANGY ALTAMIRANO For the past nine years, Sept. 11 has been a day remembered for its tragic events. This year, Giorgio's hair salon and spa of Whitestone decided to bring smiles on this tragic anniversary with haircuts that will change lives. Giorgio's, located off the Cross Island Parkway, hosted an event for the Locks of Love Foundation, a non-profit that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged youth in the United States and Canada who are suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Stella Castriota, owner of Giorgio's, wanted to get personally involved in giving back to those less fortunate. Castriota and her co-workers hoped to bring a "nicer concept on this particular day" and bring people together aside from just mourning. The event inspired dozens to donate po-

ers they "make sure they feel beautiful inside and out," Nicole Castriota said. Stella Castriota hopes to continue giving back to this foundation for years to come and even looks to aid foundations for other diseases or disorders. Hair donations must be at least 10 inches

in length, without any highlights and can be donated by all age groups. To learn more about Locks of Love, go to locksoflove.org or call (561) 833-7332. Reach Intern Angy Altamirano at aaltamirano@queenstribune.com or (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128.

Alleged Bank Robbers May Face LI Charges By DOMENICK RAFTER Four people were nabbed in connection with a bank heist in Fresh Meadows last weekend, and police suspect a team from Brooklyn that has pulled off several other robberies on Long Island. Around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, cops from the Anti-Crime Unit of the 107th Precinct allegedly observed Dwight Washington, 28, of 146 Van Buren St., Brooklyn and Careather Williams, 33, of 652 Willoughby St., Brooklyn, running out of the Queens County Savings Bank branch at 61-49 188th St in Fre sh Meadows. Police were suspicious after seeing the two enter the bank dre ssed in hooded sweatshir ts on a warm day. Upon leaving the bank, both men were observed get ting into the back seat of a fourdoor silver Toyota Camr y parked on t he corner of 64th Avenue and 188th Street. The plainclothes officers conducted a car stop of the vehicle at that location, and observed four occupants, Washington, Williams, Lashawn Solomon, 18, of 776

Lafayet te St. in Brooklyn, a passenger in the vehicle and Ibn Abdul Muhammad, 24, of 488 Crescent St., Brooklyn, who was driving the vehicle. The men were observed with costumes, wigs, notes to tellers demanding money and thousands of dollars in cash. After an investigation, police determined that Washington and Williams entered the bank and both passed a note to two tellers demanding cash. There were no weapons and no injuries in the incident. The individuals were arrested and charged with robbery and criminal posse ssion of stolen property in connection w ith the Fresh Meadows heist. Police are investigating the team’s possible connection to a series of bank robberies on Long Island. The Fresh Meadows branch of Queens County Savings Bank branch was also robbed on Aug. 14, but police did not say whether or not the same robbers are suspected in that incident.

Incumbents Get Approval In Low-Turnout Primary By QUEENS TRIBUNE STAFF For all the talk of 2010 being an anti-incumbent year, the borough’s voters failed to fit that narrative in Tuesday’s primary elections. All of the borough’s incumbent legislators on the state and federal level won their primary races this week, most by solid margins. Across Queens, a range of emotions from exaltation, disappointment, concern and surprise were apparent.

Highs and Lows The sun may have set on one of New York’s most bizarre, dynamic and infamous political careers. Hiram Monserrate garnered a third of the vote in his race against Francisco Moya for the Democratic ticket in the race for 39th Assembly district. Monserrate conceded the race less than an hour after polls closed. The former City Councilman and ousted State Senator did not declare his political career dead. “I got a lot of life left ahead of me,” he said. The mood at CJ Sullivan’s in Bayside was jubilant when a visibly exhausted Ed Braunstein announced he won the Democratic nod to fill the seat being vacated by Assemblywoman Ann-Margaret Carrozza (DBayside). Asked how he felt, the first word out of his mouth was, “tired.” During his victory speech, which largely consisted a long list of names to thank, he told the crowd, “I’m thanking as many people as I can because in six weeks I am going to ask you to come out again.” State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) successfully defended her seat from Democratic challengers Isaac Sasson and John Messer, to the delight of the crowd gathered at Sullivan’s. Surrounded by various state legislators and council members, Stavisky proclaimed, “We are on the way to reforming and cleaning up Albany.” Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry (D-Corona) entered the VFW center at 98th Street and Northern Boulevard to rapturous applause after defeating his opponent Anthony Miranda. Among the supporters were the cream of Central Queens’ political crop; Borough President Helen Marshall, State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst), Council members Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst) and Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights). “What I’m most happy about is we got rid of two M’s – Monserrate and Miranda,” Aubry said. At Glendale’s iconic Ger man restaurant Zum Stammtisch, the crowd was light, even an hour after the polls had closed. Across the street, Assemblyman Mike Miller (D-Glendale) was in his campaign office as the runners from across the district returned, called and texted in results. The hectic scene swelled to frenzy as the numbers started to become clear – Miller, who won his seat earlier this year in a special election, was running away with the Democratic primary. At about 10:20 p.m., Zum Stammtisch’s front door flung open and, surrounded by a sea of volunteers, Miller ambled in. State Sen. Joe Addabbo (D-Howard Beach), Councilwoman Liz Crowley (D-Middle Village), CB 10 District Manager Frank Gulluscio and a host of other political insiders were surrounding the campaign staff with Miller in the center. A cheer rose up, with a standing ovation as Miller thanked his staff, his campaign manager, the volunteers, his fellow elected officials and, eventually, with some prodding from Crowley, the Queens County Democratic Organization. Two blocks away, Miller’s opponent, Nick Comaianni, sat behind the desk of his campaign office. Across the desk from Comaianni, president of Community Education Council District 24, was a giant, hand-written sign that read “Nick must go door to door!” Looking up at the sign, as the last of the pizza purchased for volunteers was being cleaned up or eaten and the stragglers were leaving, Comaianni shook his head. “There’s a story to tell here,” he said. “But that’s for another time.” A slow stream of volunteers trickled into Lynn Nunes’ campaign headquarters in Richmond Hill after polls closed. They joined those who camped out in the front room, eyes trained to the flat screen television. A

little before 10 p.m., with 1 percent of precincts reporting, Nunes had an 18 percent lead over his opponent State Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica). Though exuberance was tempered, there was a feeling of maybe, hopefully, Nunes would represent the 10 Senatorial District. “So far, so good,” a volunteer remarked. The mood started to slide. As votes were tallied, Nunes’ lead disappeared. With 4 percent in, Huntley took the lead. Bruce Friedman, a Nunes volunteer, tried to allay everyone fears, but the tide had turned. Before 11 p.m., Huntley declared victory. Nunes, in the underbelly of his campaign office, was preparing remarks for those who canvassed Southeast Queens with his placards. It was a thank you steeped in sadness and grit. In mid-speech, he paused, then broke the silence. “Just because we didn’t win doesn’t mean the road ends here,” he said. The question of will he join the host of candidates jockeying for position in the 28th Council District was put to Nunes. Visibly tired and with a hint of disappointment, he answered, “Call me in about two to three days.” On the federal level, U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman (DBayside) defeated his primary opponent Patricia Maher by a large margin. He will face Long Island doctor James Milano in November. Milano, who had been endorsed by Queens Republicans, defeated 2008 nominee Elizabeth Berney of Great Neck, the choice of Nassau County Republicans, in Tuesday’s Republican primary for the seat. U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Astoria) soundly defeated her primary opponent, attorney Reshma Saujani, to be nominated for another term in the 14th congressional district in Northwest Queens and Manhattan.

A Broader Electorate Statewide, only four legislators failed to win their primaries – the same number as 2008, including the scandal-plagued Senate Major ity Leader Pedro Espada Jr. (D-Bronx), who was defeated by Gustavo Rivera. Espada was a central figure in the 2009 coup that temporarily gave the Republicans control of the Senate. The primary races for statewide office delivered a mix of surprise and suspense. Tea Party-backed Buffalo businessman Carl Palladino shocked Republicans by defeating former Long Island Congressman Rick Lazio to win the GOP nomination for governor. Lazio did win the nomination of the Conservative Par ty, meaning both Lazio and Palladino may be on the ballot in November on different party lines. In the Democratic primary for Attorney General, Manhattan State Sen. Eric Schneiderman narrowly defeated Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice and will face Staten Island DA Dan Donovan, the Republican nominee.

Modern Menaces Tuesday’s elections featured the premier of the city’s new voting machines, which came with a new set of problems. Though some campaign volunteers could not cite problems at voting booths, conversations at Sullivan’s quickly turned to individual experiences with the new electronic voting machines. The first in line at her polling place, District Leader Carol Gresser was handed the wrong ballot by poll workers. Second in line, her husband Larry Gresser had issues of a different kind; the machine spit out his ballot at first. After his second try was successful, the words that flashed across the screen were in Spanish, which he fortunately understands. “That’s not supposed to happen either,” he said. “Hopefully they got it to speak in English.” In Richmond Hill, Romeo Hitlall and Carolina Soto avoided voting machine issues, but their polling place did open an hour late. Hitlall said he went to vote at 6:30 a.m. at the Lefferts branch of the Queens Library, but it did not open until 7 a.m. Reach the Queens Tribune at editor@queenstribune.com or (718) 357-7400, Ext. 122.

"The Living Room Candidate" has existed as a Web site since 2000, and the most recent upgrade is the third version. The overhaul was done with fina ncial support from the Verizon Foundation, the telecom giant's philanthropic arm, which gave the museum a two-year grant to reconstruct the Web site

and inst itute AdMaker. Wisnie wski said Verizon awarded the grant to the museum because they were interested in the site's education potential. The next step is to see how the site and the new features are utilized. "AdMaker is a culmination of a major overhaul of the site. What's next is to get the word out there at AdMaker exists and see how people use it," Wisniewski said. "We'll learn a lot more about how 'Living Room

Candidate' is used in a classroom." He noted that AdMaker itself is a huge achievement. "Even a few years ago, the idea of providing an online video editing tool would have been crazy," he said.

By DOMENICK RAFTER Have you ever watched a campaign commercial and thought you could do a better job making an effective statement? Well, the Museum of the Moving Image is giving you the chance. The Astoria museum, which is currently undergoing an extensive renovation, just finished a massive overhaul of "The Living Room Candidate," a Web site run by the museum that includes more than 500 presidential advertisements from ever y presidential election since 1952. The museum added a feature to the site called AdMaker, which allows visitors to take part in five different activitie s, two of wh ich involve remaking ads from the 1968 and 2008 Presidential election. The fifth is open ended, allowing users to use footage from past ads to put together their own. Users can also upload their own video and audio to use in their ads. The new feature was launched in a training session with Queens College professors from the school's Taft Inst itute for Government on Aug. 25. Chris Wisniewski, deputy director of education at the Museum of the Moving Image, said AdMaker has been ready to launch for a while, but the rollout was timed to coincide with the students' return to class. "We decided to go live with AdMaker right before the beginning of the new school year," he said. "It being an elect ion year, we thought t his was the per fect time to launch it." Wisniewski said a team of evaluators from the Center for Children and Technology has been evaluating the reactions of schoolchildren who have been using the software in

BUILDING A BETTER AIRLINE, NOT JUST A BIGGER ONE. With airline mergers constantly in the news (ours included), it’s easy to forget that size alone isn’t enough to lead this industry. No one who flies is waiting for a bigger airline; they’re waiting for one that’s committed to making flying better. To that end, we’ve taken a look at every part of the experience – from buying a ticket to getting your bags – and dedicated ourselves to constantly improving it. That’s an ambitious goal, especially at a time when air travel is under pressure from all sides, but the challenges of this industry have always been its fuel; that was true at Kitty Hawk, and it’s true today. So while we’re proud to offer over 5,500 flights a day, we won’t rest until each one of them is as convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free as possible.

He star ted a blog, Reverend Manny and the Twilight Empire, several years ago. Oh, and full disclosure: He technically is not a clergyman. "I claim no magic powers. I am no middleman of faith," he said of adopting his religious moniker. "I am, however, concerned for my spiritual community. My spiritual values focus on the human spirit." The blog very slowly developed a following, which read along as Rev. Manny linked to what he believed was the most absurd news (or lie) of the day, then added his own dose of interpretation and sometimes anger. He began following money trails and found an economically-privileged class funding many "values groups" that carry the banner of the working class. For example: Uberrich Joseph Coors, best known for selling the taste of the Rocky Mountains in a beer can, founded the nonprofit, ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation with a hefty $250,000 donation. The string of posts got some at tention and eventually evolved into the book's theme. But Rev. Manny seems an unlikely flagbearer for any cause. At the t ime of t he intervie w, he was saddled in a pret ty-much-broken chair, his absurdly scrawny six-foot-something frame draped across the floor. He has a stud piercing under his bot tom lip, and a crop of facial hair kept in the "untidy goatee/beard" stage. He speaks with a compulsion to recite facts, figures and historic turning points, wh ile unapologet ical ly laci ng four let ter words into his speech for dramatic effect. Subtlety is not the Rev.'s strong suit. But he goes through hoops to asser t the book is not about him. It's merely his entr y into a litany of volumes on the same topic.

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. 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.

Demi Davis

Photo: Ira Cohen Though Jimmy’s partner and parents were there for his swearing in last year, he may be willing to toss the old folks aside for a billionaire daddy.

Lookin' For Big Daddy Semi-Demi Demi Davis started modeling and making music at around the same time in 2007, and now sees herself as a “quadruple threat.” In 2008 she released her first EP, “Genesis,” and last month her follow-up CD, “Femme Fatale,” hit the streets. Demi met with somebody through MySpace who got her into a studio and taught her how to record. “I worked with him and other producers,” Demi said. “There were a lot of trials and tribulations, and I went through a couple of managers who weren’t really that good.” But taking her career in her

own hands, Demi has seen success. Music and modeling are quite similar, Demi said. “When I do music I do video, I do photos, hair, makeup, album cover work; modeling is kinda in everything,” Demi said. Also an actor and dancer, Demi recently did a pilot

for a sitcom.” Though she has been taking a break from modeling in recent months to focus on acting and music, with Fashion Week coming up Demi’s days have been getting busier. “I’ve been getting back into runway shape,” Demi said. She’s also been working on an action film called “Furious Women.” “I will be a superhero,” she said. “There’s martial arts, throwing stars, weapons, equipment – a lot of athletic stuff coming up. There’s girls kicking butt.” When not dancing, acting, singing or modeling, this “quadruple threat” enjoys hanging out with friends in Manhattan and St. Albans.

Brand-ing Astoria Excluding one former and one present members of the QConf staff, we’re pretty sure Astoria isn’t known for drunken playboys. So imagine the neighborhood’s terror when British comedy oddball Russell Brand appeared in the area to shoot the remake of Dudley

Moore’s classic “Arthur.” Brand has yet to star in a box office hit that would match his inexplicable celebrity status. In fact, Brand’s visit may be the worst thing to happen to Astoria since the blackout of 2006. Sweet dreams!

In defense of Venus Williams: As one of the highest ranked female tennis players in the world headed into her 10th U.S. Open quarterfinal, when you enter her name into Yahoo, the top searched term is “dress,” complete with news reports about her outrageous fashion choices at competitions. Thing is, we don’t care. Perhaps we should, since every major media outlet has relished picking apart her most recent creation, a pink fireworks-inspired nightmare. If the world’s fourth ranked female singles player wants to spend her day tugging her dress down, then we say, “go for it.” If she wants the world to see her black and white Underoos, good for her. She’s an athlete. Can’t we just let her play? Perhaps it’s the Anna Kournikova effect, but shame on us all for being so easily distracted from the game.

Russell Brand is in Astoria

Love is crazy and causes folks to do some stupid things. But to ask Mayor Mike Bloomberg to adopt you is taking it a step too far. Here’s the short explanation: Bloomberg signed a bill requiring the city clerk to provide same sex couples with information on where they can get married. A thankful Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer wondered aloud at a press conference if the Mayor may one day preside over his wedding.

The Mayor said he doesn’t do weddings, with the exception of his daughters. Van Bramer’s response? “Well, if you’d like to adopt me, Mayor Bloomberg, that might work out well. My partner might appreciate that.” We’re not exactly sure how the Councilman’s parents would feel about being dumped for a billionaire. Jimmy Van Bloomberg does have a nice ring to it though.

Tight Quarters

How high up did Ron Artest’s knees come in this tiny ride? When was the last time you got in your car and needed a helmet? If you have spent more than 10 seconds thinking then you are obviously not Ron Artest. The Queensbridge native was spotted in a little red race car that would be a better fit at a NASCAR track than the 101 Freeway. Of course with the car being a bit unusual, Artest was stopped by police officers and he was cited for an expired registration. Supposedly, the car was not even registered to Artest, but someone in Tennessee. Well, if we all win NBA Championships we can all borrow our friends red sports cars. We wonder if the Knicks are looking for a point guard, power forward, center? What are we saying, of course they are looking.

Confidentially, New York . . .

Tennis Match The angry Americans narrative has gotten so strong, even tennis isn’t immune. The normally pacified and prim audience at the U.S. Open got some unwelcomed attention Labor Day weekend when a fight broke out in the stands. The fight began after a woman slapped a man when he refused to stop using vulgar words after being asked repeatedly. (Welcome to New York, lady.) The situation escalated after the woman’s 74year-old father got physical with the man stopping the match. The three were hauled off in handcuffs and banned from tennis matches at Flushing Meadows for three years. All three have filed civil harassment suits against each other assuring that this story won’t be going away soon.
