Nobody treats complex neurological conditions like North Shore University Hospital does. Our neurologists and neurosurgeons work in close coordination with multiple physicians from other specialty areas to develop individual treatment plans. That means our patients don’t have to go anywhere else to get a second opinion.

And unlike other hospitals, North Shore University Hospital has a dedicated ICU for neurosurgery patients, because the care needed after complex neurosurgery is just as important as the surgery itself. Our teams also excel in the care of patients with cerebral aneurysms and brain tumors. And we’re one of only 150 hospitals across the country designated as a Level 4 epilepsy center by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers.

It’s no surprise we’re ranked among the nation’s top 50 hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News and World Report, earning the highest possible scores for patient services and technology.

By MEGAN MONTALVO While doing her homework early Sunday morning, Queensbridge Houses resident Amy Sanchez was shot in her left hand.

At 5:16 a.m., police arrived on scene and rushed the 15-year-old to New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in Manhattan, where she underwent surgery on Monday.

According to Ray Normandeau of the Queensbridge Tenant Council, Sanchez had woken up early to finish her homework, which she often does.

As Sanchez was typing in her apartment on the third floor, Normandeau said five shots were fired nearby at 45-15 10th St. in Astoria.

A stray bullet richocheted off a neighboring wall and entered Sanchez’s apartment window

Queensbridge Houses has yet to decline.

The number of Citywide shootings have dipped since last year. However, locally in the 114th Precinct, crime has climbed by 10 percent.

In addition, murders have increased in the area from four last year to seven this year, and 21 people have been shot, which is four more than last year.

“Stabbings and shootings are very common here. They happen all the time,” Normandeau said. “There are a lot of safety improvements that need to be made, but it just seems like the housing authority doesn’t care because they don’t have to.”

Bill Calls For Count Of Asian Communities effectively delivering services to communities that are currently underserved?” Dromm said. “Disaggregated demographic data is necessary in order for our city to properly identify and address the needs of all members of the City’s Asian Pacific American population.”

According to the 2010 Census, Asians were the fastest growing community in New York City between 2000 and 2010, growing by 30 percent. The minority group now represents 14 percent of the City’s total population.

While many Asian Pacific Americans share geographic and cultural commonalities, many sub-demographic groups within the community face different challenges that

require a diverse set of needs to seek services from City agencies.

Currently, unique factors such as social, educational and economic differences associated with different Asian ethnicities are not reflected in required data research.

“Asian Pacific Americans play a v i t a l r o l e i n N e w Yo r k ’ s workforce and economic success,” said Wayne Ho, executive director of the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families. “This bill will lead to more effective poli-

cies, funding and services for New York’s faste st growi ng communit y.” Under the proposed legislation, City form documents used to collect demographic information will be required to separate collection categories for each major Asian Pacific American group, including, but not limited to: Bangladeshi, Bhutanese, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Guamanian, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Native Hawaiia n, Nepale se, Pacific Islander,

Pakistani, Samoan, Sri Lankan, Taiwa ne se, T hai, Tibeta n a nd Vietnamese.

If passed, the data is expected to help make better use of federal funding streams by allowing providers, advocates, funders and decision makers to identify needs and resources that will aid in the development of public programs.

Town Hall Pushes Against New Trash Transfer Station

By JOE MA RVILLI A Town Hall was held in Flushing on the development of the North Shore Marine Transfer Station in College Point on Sept. 20.

Co-hosted by Assemblywoman Grace Meng (D–Flushing), Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (D– Flushing) and State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D–Flushing), the meeting was held in the Queens Library Flushing Branch. Though the room was only half full when it started, the seats quickly filled with concerned citizens.

Meng and Simanowitz have sponsored a bill into the New York State Assembly that would prohibit the construction, development or placement of hazardous wildlife attrac-

tant near airports. Stavisky has sponsored a similar bill for the State Senate. Both bills are still pending.

Most of the panel and audience’s unease centered on the threat of increased bird strikes that they felt the transfer station would cause.

According to Meng, the transfer station sits 2,000 feet away from the eastern side of LaGuardia Airport. She also mentioned that Congressmen Gary Ackerman (D– Bayside) and Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) have been working with Federal Aviation Administration on the issue and were able to secure additional safeguards if station opens.

Tensions reached a high point when marine scientist and Vice

President of the Marine Transfer Station Board James Cervino took to the stage in defense of the facility. He stated that one out of 1 billion bird strikes result in a human death and that while planes are struck, they are rarely brought down. He praised the installation for its state-of-the-art and environmentally-friendly design.

“This will be great for bringing in jobs. There will be environmental oversight. There will be hazardous wildlife oversight,” said Cervino. “This facility won’t pose as a hazardous threat that’s going to be bringing down airliners.”

By MEGAN MONTALVO In an effort to increase access to meaningful health and social services for Asian Pacific American communities, Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) has introduced new legislation.

On Sept. 24, Dromm stood with leaders from the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families, New York University Center for the Study of Asian American Health and the Asian Research Institute at the City University of New York on the steps of City Hall to announce a bill that would disaggregate data collected on Asian Pacific Americans.

What City Of Tomorrow?

New York City is widely referred to as the greatest city in the world, and there is no denying that there are myriad great things about the Big Apple.

Recent complaints about the City’s technological deficiencies, however, are disturbing news.

The Board of Elections’ reticence to move into the 21 st Century in who votes are counted on election nights was troubling enough. Thankfully, the BOE seems to be making strides to correct the past issues and bring procedures into the present day.

This week’s reports of technological deficiencies in reporting crimes in City parks, however, may be even more disturbing. Seven years after the passage of a law requiring the City to report crimes in all parks and playgrounds larger than one acre, the NYPD seems to have not made any attempt to meet the technologic needs of the law. Safety advocates have noted that crime is on the rise at City parks.

Shouldn’t the City be doing all it can to prevent this?

Voting Fix Needed To the Editor: Four years ago, for the United States Presidential Election, voter turnout was higher than usual across most of the country. This year, Americans are once again gearing up to go to the polls on Nov. 6 to choose our President.

Here in New York City, we must do our part to ensure that the election runs as smoothly as possible for every voter.

Following the decennial redistricting that the United States Constitution mandates, the New York City Board of Elections reconfigured all Election Districts.

While the newly-enlarged Election Districts may result in administrative savings, they are turning out to be a headache for some voters.

As a result of the new Election Districts, many voters will have to go to different poll sites this year.

Before the September Primary Election, the Board of Elections sent out notices to voters whose

poll sites were changed. Unfortunately, some voters did not see or did not take note of the mailers that went out. Those who did learned that after years of voting at the same location, they will now have to go to different places to vote. Come November, confusion about where to vote will present an unnecessary obstacle for many citizens.

I am urging the following to help curb the Election Day chaos.

First, the Board of Elections must put into place an extensive outreach effort to let voters know how to confirm that they are registered and find out where to vote.

Second, every voter should take the responsibility to make sure that he or she is registered and knows where to vote on Election Day, as there is a good chance that the poll site has changed. Log onto http://vote.nyc.ny.us or call (866) VOTE-NYC or (866) 8683692. In our representative democracy, the vote is precious. Let’s do what is necessary now to make

Save The Park To The Editor: Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the centerpiece of the borough of Queens. It was the site for both the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs. The recent interest by several organizations to acquire land in the park for development needs to be very carefully looked at before any type of major alterations to the park are to be done. We really need to retain the park in its current state, because for thousands of Queens residents, it is the only place to come with the family and friends to relax.

There are hundreds of trees and plants of various species that are growing and thriving throughout the park, as well as the famous Queens Zoo, which is home to many types of animals and birds. Also, there are many types of animals and birds that live within the park’s several thousand acres. Development of the park would surely eliminate many trees and wildlife, and would certainly encroach on the zoo’s area as well. There must be some type of compromise on any possible development in the park; if no compromise can be reached, then the idea of development in Flushing Meadows Corona Park needs to be tabled permanently.

We need our parks here in Queens; we do not need to have them ruined. Flushing Meadows Corona Park should be given national park status by the federal government, since it was the site for two World’s Fairs.

A study of more than 120,000 people by the Harvard School of Public Health confirmed once again that meat consumption raises the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Director General of the World Health Organization Margaret Chan, warned that routine use of antibiotics to promote animal growth in factory farms is causing “the end of modern medicine.”

No wonder U.S. per capita meat consumption has been dropping by nearly 4 percent annually!

October offers excellent opportunities for dropping animal products from our diet. The month kicks off with World Vegetarian Day and World Farm Animals Day on Oct. 12, respectively. It continues with World Food Day on Oct. 16, and Food Day on Oct. 24.

Ins anit y To The Editor: Are the American people stupid? Why did they re elect Roosevelt four times when he presided over the great depression for eight years, the eight years before we entered into World War Two? When he was elected there were 11,586,000 unemployed. In 1939 seven years later when the war struck in Europe there were still 11,396,000 persons unemployed.

In 1932 when he was elected there were 4,155,000 households with 16,620,000 persons on relief. In 1939, seven years later, there were 4,227,000 households with 19,648,000 persons on relief.

Henry Morgenthau, FDR’s loyal Secretary of the Treasury was frustrated at the persistence of doubledigit unemployment throughout

Gerry Laytin

the 1930s.In May 1939 with unemployment at 20 percent; he exploded at the failed New Deal programs. We have tried spending money, Morgenthau noted. “We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work… We have never made good on our promises… I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started… and an enormous debt to boot.”

The thing that saved us from a continuation of the Great Depression was that we won the war and the rest of the world was a mess.

More importantly, we had better leadership immediately following the war.

I ask again why did the American people re-elect Roosevelt three times with his having such a disastrous record? Well as bad as he was in handling the economy that’s how good he was at conning the voters to vote for him. He ran against Hoover each time and he blamed Hoover over and over each time for his failures. Does that sound familiar?

We are now facing the re-election of another loser who has followed Roosevelt’s moves exactly.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Are we going to reproduce the Great Depression by believing that Obama will do anything different then he has done in the last four years?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Studio Provides Whole Music Experience

The turning point occurred in 2009 when the focus shifted away from studio recording and towards education. Powers started going to local schools and participated in afterschool programs. While it did not provide much money, it did help spread the word.

Originally, the studio was centered on guitar and vocal lessons, which are Powers’ specialties. Soon though, customers started calling about other instruments. Today, RBA offers courses in vocals, guitar, bass, drums, piano, violin, viola, sax, flute, clarinet and trumpet.

While he used to have 60 students, the workload of running the business got to the point where he stopped teaching altogether last year. This year though, he’s managed to free enough time to take on four students. He said he missed the mentorship role teachers take on, especially with the venue’s focus on children.

“It was an honor when I was teaching that some of the kids would actually talk. Not only do they have an outlet music-wise, but they have someone they can trust even to just sit there with them and be there for them,” said Powers. “That’s what it

By JOE MA RVILLI When it comes to music lessons, Fresh Meadows has had a consistently successful source for the last few years in Real Brave Audio.

Created by Daniel Powers Jr. in 2006, RBA provides a wide variety of musical instruction from 13 skilled teachers. This locale is more than just a place for technique lessons though. The studio offers a musical experience where the same amount of emphasis is placed on stage performance and recording.

RBA’s inception began in 2003 when Powers quit his previous job and was looking to start the next phase of his life. After going back to school, he decided to start teaching music.

“I’ve always stressed in my life that I wanted to leave an imprint on the world. If I could do anything, let it be something important that people can remember,” Powers said.

Soon after he started teaching, Powers rented a small piece of property and opened the studio in 2006.

He struggled with putting together all the factors of his budding business but was determined make his vision a success.

Starting in Fall 2007, RBA has held two free concerts each year as a showcase for the students. The next performance is scheduled for Nov. 11 at PS 26

on 195-02 69th Ave. “We don’t turn away people so everybody gets to perform if they want to. Music should be shared,” Powers said. “As long as you want to do this and you have the desire, that’s where it starts.”

By ROSS BARK AN Advocates for park safety claim that a lack of technology within the NYPD is a cause for concern and is leading to park crimes being under-reported.

Though the NYPD compiles crime reports for 31 parks, including six in Queens, a 2005 law passed by the City Council requires the City to report crime in all parks and playgrounds larger than one acre.

Public Advocate and mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio is knocking the Bloomberg Administration and the NYPD for not following through on this law.

“For a city that wrote the book on data-driven crime fighting, the dearth of statistics on crime in our parks is astounding,” said de Blasio, who wrote a letter to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “We need to fix these blind spots immediately, before another New Yorker is victimized in one of our public spaces.”

Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Kissena Park, Forest Park and Rockaway Community Park are the only Queens parks with specific crime reports.

While the NYPD does not differ-

entiate most park-specific crimes, NYC Park Advocates, a parks watchdog group, has compiled an unofficial tally of crimes in parks. The group reported that crime in City parks was up 24 percent from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2011. The report also noted that at least 41 people were involved in violent crimes this summer.

“The City has had no interest in complying with the law,” said Geoffrey Croft of NYC Park Advocates. “By 2008, they were supposed to comply with the law. The excuse they gave is that they don’t have the technology. At the very least, it’s a matter of literally adding a line on their reports.”

When the 2005 law was passed, the NYPD set its own timetable for implementation based on when the law would be “technologically feasible.” The Public Advocate office’s chief complaint is that

Advocates Call For Park Crime Reports crime occurring in most parks is lumped into general precinct crime and is not specifically identified on any type of crime map, like other non-park crimes are. This identification allows the NYPD to place more officers in certain zones.

With advances in GPS technology, NYPD critics argue that not having the proper technology to implement the law is no longer an excuse. Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) wrote the 2005 law and introduced a new bill recently that would take away the technological hardship reason the NYPD has provided to avoid tracking crime in all parks greater than an acre. With many council members term limited, Vallone, the chair of the Public Safety Committee, is A bloody bench in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the result of a recent stabbing incident, according to NYC Park Advocates.

not optimistic the bill will be a priority in the City Council.

“The way the police track crime in parks now is right out of a 1950s television show,” Vallone said.

“They have a guy going through police reports and reading to determine whether crime occurred in a park. It is very hard to believe a police force with technology like the NYPD possesses cannot figure out a way to keep statistics accurately in a park.”

The 31 parks only account for about two percent of the city’s 1,700 outdoor recreational facilities. Incidents in parks are also not listed in a separate category in crime reports and park advocates believe the uptick in crime may be the result of a decrease of Parks Enforcement Patrol officers. PEP officers, part of the Parks Dept., carry pepper spray and batons but not handguns—in the mid 1990s, there were approximately 450 PEP officers on patrol across the City and now there are only 100.

The NYPD and the Parks Dept. did not respond to requests for comment as of press time.

By ROSS BARK AN Lacking much of the sniping that has characterized their recent campaigns, State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) and Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) collided Tuesday night at their first candidate forum since Ulrich triumphed in a Sept. 13 primary.

Ulrich is hoping to unseat Addabbo this fall and has received tens of thousands of dollars from Senate Republicans to win the redrawn 15th Senate District, which appears more conservative than its predecessor. Speaking at the Greater Woodhaven Development Corp.’s September meeting, the two candidates fielded questions from the GWDC and audience members on issues like Resorts World Casino’s impact on Queens, rising crime, unpaved roads and ongoing home foreclosures.

Though the Ulrich campaign has slammed Addabbo for voting to raise taxes and supporting President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul and the Addabbo campaign has portrayed Ulrich as too right-wing for Queens voters, the candidates, who worship at the same parish, acted more cordial in

mond Hill, Ozone Park and Woodhaven. He promised “to hold Resorts World’s feet to the fire.”

Like all state legislators, Addabbo’s discretionary funds are frozen, so he proposed that nonprofits like the GWDC should be able to directly apply for funding from the state. Both candidates were optimistic about Woodhaven’s economic prospects, but said more jobs are desperately needed in the community.

Residents stood up to complain of trees in need of pruning and unpaved roads, including a rocky service road on Woodhaven Boulevard between Jamaica and Atlantic Avenue. Ulrich blasted the City DOT for having misplaced priorities — he took a moment to ridicule their bike lane initiatives — while Addabbo drew laughter for saying, as a state senator who does not typically handle City-specific street problems, he would work with the “local councilman” on those issues.

Ulrich, of course is that councilman.

Queens This Week

The work of Nikki Schiro lines the walls at Crossing Art in Flushing.

Page 14 Tribune Sept. 27 - Oct. 3, 2012 • www.queenstribune.com

G a l l e r y Fe a t u r e s Nikki Schiro Exhibit Flushing gallery Crossing Art is holding a solo exhibition on the work of native Queens artist Nikki Schiro for the next month.

"Let them find an Effigy, They'll Never Find Me" features work throughout Schiro's career. Particularly highlighted is the "Johnny & Nikki" series, shown in its entirety for the first time.

"I found her work really thoughtprovoking. Every one of them tells you a story. I'm very into art that creates a visual narrative," said Maria Boobis, assistant director of Crossing Art on why she chose to display Schiro's work. "A lot of her work does that and it was quite striking for me."

"Johnny & Nikki" tells the tale of Schiro's interactions with wealthy art collector Jean Pigozzi. The series begins with an alternate version of a party she went to that Pigozzi was at as well, though they didn't meet. The artwork portrays an illusional success story, which imagines Schiro as the star of the party, being represented by art giant Larry Gagosian and meeting celebrities like Robert Plant.

The two almost met at the end of her Master of Fine Arts program at Hunter College, where she participated in an open studio, a display of her work for art collectors to purchase. Pigozzi happened to go by Schiro's studio but she was not there so he left his business card.

The business card is placed at the end of the display since it was the catalyst for the series.

Despite his interest and a piece of art gifted by Schiro, Pigozzi asked for massive discounts on her work, a privilege he has used to due to his reputation. All communication was done through his archivist, keeping Schiro away from any direct talks. The emails making up

these offers and negotiations line the display, filling the space in between the paintings. As the situation deteriorated due to Pigozzi's unwillingness to budge, Schiro began to obsess about getting his attention.

She started to make art out of photos she found of Pigozzi online.

One such example is "Million Dolla' Baby" where she superimposes herself on his shirt. In addition to being a conduit for her anger, there's an underlying message about the online world.

"There's this play on social media and the access that you have to someone you don't know," Boobis said.

After three years of back and forth talks, the exhibit peaks with "Castration II: The Beheading", where Schiro dresses as The Bride from the movie "Kill Bill" and cuts Pigozzi's throat. By doing so, she ties into the idea of him as an effigy, which she burns and banishes him from her life. This is where the exhibit finds its name, which comes from the song "Even" by Dispatch.

Although there is finality to the exhibit, it is unknown whether Schiro will continue the series or move on.

"Let them find an Effigy, They'll Never Find Me" will run until Oct. 27. Crossing Art is located at 13617 39th Avenue, Flushing.

Author Press To Discuss New Book An award-winning author is coming to Forest Hills.

Journalist Eyal Press will discuss his new book, Beautiful Souls, on Oct. 15 at 1:30 p.m. at the Central Queens YM and YWHA.

The book explores the stories of ordinary people who choose to defy authority in order to follow their conscience.

A prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay decides to leave his position and serve as a witness on the side of a detainee. A Swiss border guard during World War II refuses the order to bar Jews fleeing the Nazis from his country. What compels people to stage acts of resistance such as these when faced with a moral dilemma? Press asks many questions like these.

Press sought out the individual resisters to hear their stories. He interviewed people like an American financial whistleblower and a Serbian soldier. Press found that in many cases, the individual was moved by direct contact with victims.

Press' work has appeared in the New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, and The Nation. This program is one in a series of events presented by the Hevesi Jewish Heritage Library of the Central Queens Y. The Y is located at 67-09 108th St. A suggested donation for author events is $6.

Park Made For Man's Best Fr iend The Glen Oaks Village Enchanted Forest Park and Dog Run will have its grand opening ceremony this Saturday, Sept. 29 at noon.

Announced by the Glen Oaks Village Board of Directors, the occurrence will provide residents with an opportunity to see the new park and to pick up registration forms for their dogs. In case of rain, the event will be moved to Sept. 30.

The Dog Run contains a variety of special features. Specialized K9 artificial turf and natural vegetation line the sloping hills. The path is split into two sections, one for large dogs and one for small dogs.

Water fountains are available for both dogs and people.

"Glen Oaks Village is a pet friendly community," said Glen Oaks Village President Bob Friedrich. "We have 3,000 families who live in Glen Oaks. It gives them a place where they can allow their dogs to run."

Volunteers with specially-made shirts will monitor the region, making them easy to find. Security will periodically make sure each dog is a registered member of the Dog Park and wearing a Glen Oaks Village Dog Tag. The tag indicates the

Pinchinat Chosen For Afterschool A mbass ador The Afterschool Alliance announced last week that Patrick Pinchinat, Beacon Director of Queens Community Beacon Program, was selected to serve as an Afterschool Ambassador, a prestigious national honor.

Pinchinat is one of just 12 local leaders from across the country to be chosen for the honor. Each Afterschool Ambassador will continue supporting a local afterschool program while also serving the one-year Afterschool Ambassador term, organizing public events, communicating with policy-makers and building more support for afterschool programs. The Robert Bowne Foundation is sponsoring Pinchinat's ambassadorship.

Each ambassador will organize a major event for Lights On Afterschool, the Afterschool

Alliance's 13th annual national rally for afterschool programs, to be held Oct. 18 across America.

"I am delighted to have this chance to help increase support for afterschool programs, which give students opportunities to explore their interests and give parents the security that comes with knowing that their children are safe and supervised, with engaging, educational activities after the school day ends," said Pinchinat. "Afterschool programs are critical to students' success in school, to families trying to survive in this economy and to America's workforce in the future."

Afterschool programs in New York City have been threatened with budget cuts for several years.

The Afterschool Alliance's Uncertain Times survey project, an effort to examine how the economy affects afterschool programs, found that nearly two in five afterschool programs report that their budgets are in worse shape today than at the height of the recession in 2008.

More than three in five afterschool programs report that their funding is down from three years ago.

"Quality afterschool programs are essential to students, families and communities," said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant.

"As an afterschool ambassador, Patrick will bring great energy to the work to build even stronger support for afterschool programs among parents, business and community leaders, lawmakers and others."

Queens Community House is a multi-service settlement house that serves nearly 25,000 children, youth, adults and families at 22 different sites in 11 neighborhoods throughout Queens. Pinchinat has been working with children and families at Queens Community House since 1995.

Hotel Boom Keeps Heating Up

Page 18 Tribune Sept. 27 - Oct. 3, 2012 • www.queenstribune.com

By JOE MARVILLI Within the last few years, there has been a massive upswing of hotels in Queens.

Many travelers are taking advantage of the borough’s cheaper rates and close proximity to Manhattan. After all, why shell out more money for a hotel in the City when Queens is just a short subway ride away?

The most prominent hotel development has occurred in Long Island City. Due to its easy accessibility and close distance to Manhattan, the district has seen its number of hotels rise from just one to 18 in the last five years, with a 19th currently planned.

Among the many options available to visitors is Z Hotel, located at 11-01 43rd Ave. The building presents an amazing view of Manhattan across the East River. Its 100 guest rooms each come with an LCD TV, free Wi-Fi

and a mini bar. International, domestic and local phone calls can be made at no additional charge.

The hotel’s subterranean Z Gallery showcases work from four local artists. From the basement, visitors can head up to the Z Roof, a 5,000 square-foot rooftop lounge.

If you are heading into Manhattan, take the hotel’s complimentary transportation every hour on the hour from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. If you would prefer to get some exercise, complimentary bicycles are accessible from sunrise to sunset.

Another convenient choice is Wyndham Garden Long Island City Manhattan View.

Situated at 44-29 9th Street, the hotel’s 128 pet-friendly guest rooms include free WiFi and Direct TV. Do not worry about becoming a couch potato during your stay though.

Queens Theatre The Place To Be

By ROSS BARKAN Anyone who is anyone in Queens knows that to see great theater in the borough, Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the place to be.

Forget Broadway, forget even offBroadway. Queens Theatre is a vibrant performing arts center with three performance spaces. It has a 472-seat mainstage theater, 99-seat studio theatre and an intimate cabaret and cocktail bar. The theatre is committed to presenting exemplary theater, music and dance as well, with programming that reflects the diversity of Queens.

Queens Theatre’s annual Latino Cultural Festival, held in August this year, is the nation’s largest and most important multi-disciplinary festival of Latino culture, featuring music, theater, dance, film and family productions and visual art exhibitions.

Queens Theatre is also one of the only performing arts centers in the borough that actively develops new works through two New Play Development programs, including Immigrant Voices Project, a program that develops works that represent the rich cultural diversity of New York City. More than 75 new plays have received staged readings and pro-

ductions at Queens Theatre, most notably “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” by Rajiv Joseph, which premiered on Broadway in 2011 in a production that starred Robin Williams and was directed by Moises Kaufman.

This fall, Queens Theatre is offering up some great programming.

“Ella,” an exciting musical about one of the legendary singers of the last century, Ella Fitzgerald, kicks off Sept. 27 and runs until Oct. 7. Later this fall, catch the Tony and Olivier Award-winning play “Shirley Valen- Tina Fabrique and Thaddeus Wilson tine,” the story of an unhappy house- in “Ella.” wife offered the vacation of a lifetime. “Shirley Valentine” will run 181-foot high observation decks and from Nov. 29 to Dec. 9.

Queens Theatre began as the Theaterama, one of three structures designed to comprise the New York State Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair. Its neighbors were the triple Astro-View towers, with its 226 and

was an equally impressive sight: its façade was adorned with large-scale original artwork by some of the most famous pop artists of the day, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and Ellsworth Kelly. When the fair closed in 1965, the pavilion was one of the few structures spared demolition.

Theaterama was converted in 1972 from a movie theatre to a live entertainment venue. After being managed by a number of organizations, Queens Theatre was officially established in 1989 and, after a $4 million renovation, Queens Theatre officially opened on October 16, 1993 with a gala performance hosted

by Kitty Carlisle Hart that honored former Queens Borough President Claire Schulman.

Queens Theatre is located at 14 United Nations Ave. in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

LIC Kicks Off She-Devil Comedy Fest

By MEGAN MONTALVO While laughter may be the best form of medicine, you do not actually have to catch a cold to enjoy the festivities the Laughing Devil Comedy Club has in store for locals next month.

From Oct. 24-28, fans of comedy can get their ha-ha’s on for the first annual SheDevil Comedy Festival.

Created by the producers of the popular Laughing Skull and Laughing Devil festivals, the five-day event will feature an all-female cast of competitors and celebrity headliners in addition to a private roof party, art gallery party, museum tours and industry panels.

According to Steve Hofstetter, d i rector and owner of the Laughing Devil, the festival seeks to honor and reward the artists that most personify the art of comedy, while celebrating and helping further the long

tradition of women in comedy.

“There is a huge chance this festival could change careers,” Hofstetter said. “We expect to have more than three dozen bookers and agents in the audience, and we are really hoping this helps us uncover the next big thing.”

Although Hofstetter did not want to make mention of any favorites, he did say that he is especially looking forward to a performance by Jen Murphy, who recently finished third in the Laughing Skull Festival in Atlanta.

“It is so rare for a female to place in a comedy festival,” Hofstetter said. “It just goes to show how important an all-female festival is needed.”

Out of the 250 submitted applications, a select roster of 70 lucky ladies will compete for the title of top comedienne.

Laughing Devil will host the She-Devil Comedy Festival from Oct. 24-28.

Aside from bragging rights, the winner will also receive $2,000 in prize money and a week’s worth of paid work at the Laughing Skull in Atlanta and Morty’s Comedy Joint in Indianapolis on top of a year’s worth of paid work at the Laughing Devil.

“We had an overwhelming response from performers living across the globe,” Hofstetter said. “The line-up

we chose reflects a varied selection of comedy style that should appeal to everyone, no matter what type of comedy you’re into.”

Holding its flagship as the lone comedy club in the borough for less than a year, the Laughing Devil boasts that the She-Devil Festival is just one more step that will help put Queens on the comedy map.

Regulars at the club already include big-named performers like Judah Friedlander, Todd Bar r y, Ted Alexandro and the “Daily Show’s” Kristen Schaal.

Though the She-Devil Comedy Festival competition shows are all in Long Island City, the festival will consist of 18 shows at five venues across New York City.

Participating clubs include the Greenwich Village Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club and Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan

as well as the Breadbox Café in Long Island City.

A portion of all proceeds made from the upcoming festival will go to support Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered, an organization that educates and supports women on issues relating to breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

The Laughing Devil Comedy Club is located at 47-38 Vernon Blvd. in Long Island City.

Tickets are $20 plus a twoitem minimum. Customers can choose from a selection that includes 14 beers on tap, over 50 liquor choices and a full dinner menu.

Tickets are available for purchase at the box office, by calling (347) 913-3845 or online from www.laughingdevil.com.

Restaurant Week Makes Mouths Water

Page 24 Tribune Sept. 27 - Oct. 3, 2012 • www.queenstribune.com

By MEGAN MONTALVO Although Queens may be known for its diversity, often locals forget just how good they have it when it comes to the vast array of dining options.

Fortunately, the Queens Economic Development Corp. gives borough dwellers a yearly reminder with the annual Discover Queens Restaurant Week. This year, the event will take place over two weeks from Oct. 8 to Oct. 11 and Oct. 15 to Oct. 18.

Similar to the highly-acclaimed New York City Restaurant Week, Queens Restaurant Week will offer threecourse prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner. However, prices will be much more affordable at $25 per meal, which is $10 less than the NYC Restaurant Week options.

In addition, only local

eateries will be featured in the line-up.

“The great thing about Queens is that there are a lot of restaurants that have an international authenticity that is lacking in Manhattan,” said Rob MacK ay, QEDC director of public relations, marketing and tourism.

Celebrating its 9th consecutive return, QEDC will host a kick off event on Oct. 2 at noon in front of Queens Borough Hall, located at 120-55 Queens Blvd.

Approximately 15 local establishments will set up outdoor stands to provide complimentary samples of their specials to all passersby.

“This is really a great chance for businesses in Queens to get their name out there,” MacKay said. “We are hoping to have participating

restaurants from Astoria to the Rockaways this year.”

Confirmed participants in the kickoff include the following eateries: Bourbon Street Cafe – The Big Easy may reign supreme when it comes to Cajun cuisine, but that does not mean you have to leave the borough to get the good eats. At 40-12 Bell Blvd. in Bayside, Bourbon Street cooks up all the Cajun classics in true French Quarters fashion. From gumbo to jambalaya, Bourbon Street has everything that will appeal to even the poorest of Po’ Boys.

Tequila Sunrise of Bayside – Live Mexican mariachi and traditional décor attract new comers seeking a unique dining experience. In addition to an impressive roster of tequilas and empanadas, Tequila

Sunrise offers visitors a wide selection of traditional Mexican fare. Sizzling fajitas and salty margaritas are a great way to spice up the night.

Tequila Sunrise is located at 34-37 Bell Blvd.

London Lennies – Since 1959, this Rego Park restaurant has become notorious for the best in fresh, local seafood selected daily at the world-famous Fulton Fish Market. Located at 63-88 Woodhaven Blvd., London Lennies hosts the area’s finest raw bar comparable to the ones just across the pond.

Panorama of My SilenceHeart – Situated along a strip of laundromats, delis and grocery stores, this unassuming vegetarian cafe resides at 84-73 Parsons Blvd. in Jamaica. Inspired by the teachings of Sri Chinmoy, Panorama offers unique dishes like soy burgers and

veggie pies. Best of all, a zenlike atmosphere gives cafegoers a delightful sense of calm just before they head back into the concrete jungle.

Uncle Peter’s Restaurant – Restaurant Week would simply not be complete if it were not for the inclusion of Italian cuisine. Thankfully, Uncle Peter’s will feature their homemade pastas and hearty entrees during the celebration. A warm atmosphere and upscale ambiance have earned this restaurant’s title for the go-to spot for a delicious meal in Queens.

Uncle Peter’s is located at 8315 Northern Blvd. in Jackson Heights.

You’ll swear Ella Fitzgerald’s spirit was in the room.

“When I first made the decision to come to Queens Theatre 18 months ago, ‘Ella’ was the show I knew I wanted to bring to this audience and this community,” executive director Ray Cullom said.

“After delighting audiences and setting box office records at major theaters around the countr y, it is high time t hat this brilliant show, starring the equally brilliant Tina Fabrique, plays New York Cit y.”

REVIEW

U.S. and Europe as a featured singer with The Duke Ellington Orchestra for many years. Chosen by Rob Ruggiero, her director and conceiver of ‘Ella,’ Fabrique came highly recommended by Danny Holgate (her music arranger) because of her experience scat ting and singing.

“I was fortunate to do several of her (Fitzgerald’s) songs with them, since I knew her style well. And, Rob liked my acting in a show he saw me in,” she said.

“The one thing Rob wanted to hear me do was the scat to ‘How High the Moon,’ by Ella. I did it, and the re st is history.”

“My singing skills are just a gift from the Almighty, and the rest I learned mostly from performing in New York clubs and working w ith some of the best jazz musicians around,” said Fabrique, who appeared on Broadway in “Ragtime” and “How to Succeed In Business Without Really Tr ying,” among others. “Then of course, doing theater was the gift that taught me

Tina Fabrique as Ella. discipline: doing so many shows a week, etc.”

The 60-somet hing performer, who hails from the Bronx, said she likes “the sense of community that Queens has always been known for.

It was a place many jazz musicians, like Harold Ousley, Bob Cunningham, Brost Townsend and of course, Louis Armstrong lived at one t ime.”

Fabrique insists she doesn’t imitate “The Queen of Jazz’s” voice and style: “I don’t really sound like her; I am not an imitat ion of her, but more of a tr uthful echo of her vocal quality, her scat

c o m fo r t a b i l i t y a n d h e r phrasing, along with that lit tle girl att itude she was famous for. I work for accuracy in her scats; I learned them note for note – more as an acting exercise, since they were in-the-moment creations that must be sung that w ay to b e e f fe c t ive.”

Learning all that in about three weeks, she still listens to Ella to stay connected.

There’s no doubt Fabrique’s scintillating vocals would do Ella proud.

“Much more than a simple revue of Ella Fitzgerald songs (although that would be enough for me!), t he show is a wonderful dramat ic portrait of the int imate life and creative forces that drove Ella to become the premiere interpreter of the great American songbook, and how and why she developed her unique and inimitable style,” said Cullom.

St. John’s Hosts Dribble For The Cure

By DAV ID RUSSELL St. John’s University raised more than $25,000 with its second Dribble For The Cure event last Saturday. St. John’s teamed up with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, with the proceeds benefiting cancer research in New York.

Members of the Red Storm’s men’s and women’s basketball teams dribbled basketballs around its Queens campus with fans and suppor ters. The day had special meaning for men’s head coach Steve Lavin, who will return to the sidelines after missing the majority of last season while recovering from cancer. The now cancer-free coach spoke of seeing things with more clarity.

“That’s one of the great things about St. John’s. There are three pillars: pover t y, educat ion and social justice,” he said. “This is an oppor tunity for players to serve and realize there are things more impor tant than basketball.”

PCRF board member John Vallely said he was pleased with the progress made from last year’s fundraiser.

“We have some experience in the community,” Vallely said. “The staff knows what’s needed and has improved by its own effort. I’m excited for the prospects for St. John’s and everybody associated with St. John’s and people affected by cancer.”

Val lely, a t wo-t ime nat ional champion at UCLA, lost his daughter Erin to cancer, and was diagnosed himself before overcoming the disease. “It’s a fun experience once a year to come out for a few hours. It’s a movement that is gaining steam.”

Vallely said he is also interested in teaming up w ith Steve Vesce, managing director of Spor tsideo, to bring at tention to the cause.

“Spor tsideo is a company committed to using sports to reach their goals,” Ve sce said. “It’s an organization to better help people’s lives.

Spor ts activities are good. People who share these experiences communicate better. Everyday activities like dribbling a basketball can help raise mone y.”

St. John’s legends Lou Carnesecca and Jack Kaiser were also on hand for the festivities.

Carnesecca won 526 games as head coach for the men’s basketball team over four decades and is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Today, the basketball arena bears his name.

Kaiser was head baseball coach from 1956-73 before becoming athletic director, a position he held until 1995. Kaiser was recently inducted into the N YC Basketball Hall of Fame. Also in at tendance was New York Knicks icon John Starks.

“It’s great. People come out and suppor t a great e vent to raise m o n e y fo r p e d i a t r i c c a n c e r, ” Starks said. “To see Coach Lavin and Coach Carnesecca be a par t of this, it’s great to have it here, right outside the cit y.”

Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained

by New York state Banking Department at 1-877-BankNYS or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money

from you until they have completed all such promised services. Section 1303 NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving the 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 may lose your home.

Rock Rock Rockaway Beach

Need To Feed Following numerous requests

by Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria), the DOT has announced an agreement to program all new muni meters to shut down on Sundays, preventing the machines from accepting money.

Despite parking regulations being suspended on the day of rest, many confused locals have continued to feed the meters.

Likening the meters to broken arcade games that are wrongfully eating people’s money, Vallone has also asked that muni meters be turned off at all times that parking is free in addition to the Sunday shutdown.

Guess reading the existing parking signage was just too difficult for some people.

Muni meters won't take Sunday money thanx to Peter Vallone Jr.

Taking It To The Max Sofy Maxman has been modeling through Shortstack, an agency for petite models, for about three years. So far, she says it’s been an amazing time for her in every way.

“The general experience of being in Shortstack was so fantastic all around,” she said.

Sofy has always had a fascination with photography and fashion. She even took a couple classes

at the Fashion Institute of Technology. During her sophomore year of high school, she learned about Shortstack through her mother. She auditioned with her best friend and both of them were selected to join.

When she’s not modeling, Sofy spends her time studying at Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania. She enjoys writing

and playing on her acoustic guitar. When she’s back in Queens though, Forest Hills is her most comfortable place to visit.

While the idea of modeling fulltime interests her, Sofy doesn’t see it happening.

“I think that would be nice, but I don’t think so,” she said. “I think I’m just gonna stick with Shortstack”

He was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service, pay a $1,000 fine and $4,000 in civil penalties to the Mets. In addition, he’s been banned from any Mets facilities indefinitely.

Vivian Rattay Carter will be appearing at the Fresh Meadows Barnes & Noble for a discussion and signing of her book, “Rockaway Beach (Images of America)”.

From there, it moves forward in time, looking at the land’s development, decline, and its current revival. The story of this Queens neighborhood is supplemented by vintage images from the area.

The signing will take place on Oct. 2. The Barnes & Noble is located at 176-60 Union Turnpike.

No sharks expected.
