City Abruptly Closes Lot Next To Borough Hall By Luis Gronda Staff Writer The City abruptly closed down a parking lot near Queens Borough Hall last week, leaving Queens elected officials wondering why they were not informed of the decision. Last Tuesday, the Dept. of Transportation sent out an email announcing that it was planning to close the Queens Boro Hall Municipal Garage and Parking Field beginning the next day, Sept. 24, for safety reasons. “We will continue to work with the local community to help address its parking needs, and Traffic Enforcement Agents have been assigned to the area…” the transit agency wrote in the email. The DOT ordered the parking lot to close because it needed a renovation due to its deteriorating condition. According to Dept. of Buildings records, the lot has 20 violations still open, dating from 1986 until 2013. The latest one, dated Sept. 7, 2013, was for “failure to maintain building in

compliant manner” including several cracks at all three levels of the lot. The violation is still open as of press time. Councilmember Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) said there was no warning that about 500 parking spots would be taken away from that area. Koslowitz said the lot closure will only worsen the ability to park your car in that area. “It’s going to be horrible.

City is working on a long-term solution for the parking lot, but in the short-term, they are discussing how to further alleviate the parking situation in that area. Among the ideas discussed, according to Katz, is opening up space in a nearby park for vehicles and then running a shuttle bus to the court house or Borough Hall so residents can get to where they need to be. A DOT spokesperson said the agency surveyed the area and determined that surrounding facilities can accommodate the lost parking from closing the lot. “DOT will continue to monitor the area and address conditions as necessary and we encourage users to consider utilizing buses, subways, or other parking facilities to meet their travel needs,” the agency said in a statement. The exact timeline for demolishing the garage has not yet been determined, DOT said. Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune. com or @luisgronda.

Mayor Commits To Massive Peralta Wants Revamped Greenhouse Reduction By JoE MarViLLi Staff Writer New York City is set to become a much greener place. On Sept. 21, the same day that hundreds of thousands of people marched through Manhattan against climate change, Mayor Bill de Blasio committed to reducing the City’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent over 2005 levels by 2050. New York City is now the largest City in the world to commit to such a large reduction. Titled “One City, Built to Last: Transforming New York City’s Buildings for a Low-Carbon Future,” the plan will retrofit buildings to reduce the City’s greenhouse gases. Buildings are one of the largest energy consumers in the City, with nearly three-quarters of the City’s emissions coming from energy used to heat, cool and power buildings. According to the Mayor, every cityowned building with significant energy use will be retrofitted within the next 10 years. As for privately-owned buildings, the City is setting up interim targets with incentives to encourage retrofits, potentially followed by mandates. To hit its goal, the City must cut energy use across all building sectors by an average of 60 percent and switch to renewable sources. Remaining reductions would be achieved through

cutting waste emissions and cleaning the City’s power supply. These goals will be addressed in Spring 2015. The City will dedicate $1 billion towards the overall plan for municipal building upgrades. Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to decrease by 3.4 million metric tons a year by 2025. The savings created by this reduction across the public and private sectors will reach more than $1.4 billion a year by 2025. About 3,500 new jobs are estimated to be created by this plan. About a week after he unveiled “One City, Built To Last,” Mayor de Blasio announced a major investment in solar power at the City’s schools, adding 24 installations. The installations will be funded by the City and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s NYSun Initiative. The 6.25 megawatts of planned solar power would reduce emissions by more than 2,800 metric tons a year. “To achieve such a large reduction will require nearly every space to be made energy-efficient. Another way to achieve a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is to increase availability of sustainable energy sources,” Queens College Professor George Hendrey said about the plan. “These goals can be met from an engineering perspective, but the application is one of political will.” Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @JoeMarvilli.

Street Vendor Panel

By JackiE strawBridGE Staff Writer

One Queens official wants to rewrite a smorgasbord of rules and regulations into a clear menu. State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) has called on the City to revive its Street Vendor Review Panel and to reassess the regulations to which street vendors are subject. The now-defunct Street Vendor Review Panel, created under former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1995, existed primarily to decide where street vending should be restricted. The panel has not met since 2001. “Street vendors are established fixtures in many neighborhoods and critical parts of the fabric of many communities,” Peralta wrote in late September in a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Under the current system, however, street vendors are forced to overcome significant obstacles not faced by their brickand-mortar counterparts.” These obstacles, according to Peralta, include caps on food cart permits that create a black market, confusing zoning regulations that create street congestion and over-fining street vendors for minor infractions. Diane Macari ran a realty office until last year in an area of Roosevelt Avenue congested with street vendors. “There’s trucks on the side. They take up all the parking spaces, they’re there from early morning to late at

night, they have propane tanks that are scary,” Macari said. “When I was there, it was three in front of my office every day.” “A new Street Vendor Review Panel with a broad, holistic mandate and representatives of street vendors, business owners and community interests is the right entity to study these issues,” Peralta said. Sean Basinski, director of street vendor advocacy group the Street Vendor Project, said, “permits are what we’ve been clamoring for, begging and pleading for.” To run a food cart, street vendors need a food vendor license and a permit for their cart. The City caps cart permits at about 3,000, according to Peralta’s office. Claudia Lopez said she has been street vending for more than two decades. She sells peanuts, churros, popcorn and drinks on Roosevelt Avenue. Lopez said she mainly struggles with working on sidewalks that are too small to accommodate vendors at the required distance from storefronts. When handing out fines for this kind of violation, police say it is only a “small problem” that can “easily be fixed,” Lopez explained in Spanish. “It’s the only thing they know how to say.” Luis Gronda contributed reporting to this story.

Deadline Extended To File Pinnacle Claims

By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer

New Yorkers who live or have lived in apartments owned by the Pinnacle Group may have some money coming their way – and they now have more time to claim it. Due to a settlement agreement reached in a 2007 suit against the realty group, some tenants who lived in a Pinnacle building between July 11, 2004 and April 27, 2010 may collect compensation if they were subjected to rent overcharges and/or harassment. The deadline to file claims against Pinnacle – originally set at Oct. 27 – has been extended to Dec. 31. Legal Services NYC and the Legal Aid Society have established a Pinnacle Legal Assistance Helpline to provide free support in understanding the terms of the settlement agreement and filing claims, which can be reached at (888) 736-8115, and which Pinnacle is operating. Pinnacle was accused of committing conspiratorial acts to remove tenants in rent-regulated apartments in order to hike rents. A Pinnacle spokesperson said the group denied wrongdoing and settled to avoid the cost of a trial. “[Pinnacle] agreed to participate in an informal process to address inadvertent errors which any large organization is likely to have had, and to

establish a helpline which will allow us to track and respond to tenant concerns even more efficiently and effectively,” the spokesperson continued. According to Legal Services NYC and the Legal Aid Society, the deadline to file claims with Pinnacle was extended “due to Pinnacle’s failure to provide information necessary for effective outreach regarding the settlement.” “Pinnacle has complied with every provision of the Formal Settlement Agreement,” a Pinnacle spokesperson responded. “The tenant representatives wanted to extend the outreach by involving elected officials and community groups, although not provided for in the agreement itself. It took a little while to straighten that out.” The settlement could affect more than 30,000 tenants across 550 buildings Citywide. There are about 100 Pinnacle apartment buildings in Queens. “We are hopeful that Pinnacle will fully comply with the terms of the settlement and responsibly operate the hotline. Not doing so will subject them to penalties,” Magda Rosa-Rios, a supervising attorney with the Legal Aid Society, said. As part of the settlement agreement, Pinnacle has agreed to a set of new rules regarding rent increases, bringing eviction cases and responding to apartment repair requests. Cur-

rent Pinnacle tenants who believe they have experienced violations of these new rules must make claims within 60 days of the violation. These rules can be found online at rentlitigation.com. Legal Services NYC and the Legal Aid Society are urging tenants who believe they may be eligible for compensation to call the Pinnacle helpline

as well as to obtain their rent history from the Division of Homes and Community Renewal at (718) 739-6400 and to gather relevant documents, consider repairs needed in the apartment and consider harassment in the apartment, from 2004 to 2010.

Scarborough Arrested Another Queens official is facing corruption charges. Assemblyman William Scarborough (D-Jamaica) was arrested Wednesday morning as part of an ongoing government corruption probe conducted by State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. According to reports, Scarborough was arraigned in Albany court on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to more than 20 counts of corruption. The assemblyman was also reportedly hit with 11 federal charges related to allegations

of misuse of state travel expenses. Scarborough has been accused of taking more than $35,000 in campaign funds since 2007, and placing it into his personal bank account without reporting it to the Board of Elections. Investigators had raided his home in Jamaica and a hotel room the Assemblyman uses in Albany in March of this year, reportedly looking for information about whether he had abused his reimbursement claims for travel expenses.

Tech-Enhanced Senior Center Opens In Flushing BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer A new senior center in Flushing features not only affordable housing for those in their later years, but also contains top-of-the-line technology to keep them in the loop. Selfhelp K-VII, a 92-unit affordable senior housing residence, held its ceremonial opening last week. Located at 137-39 45th Ave., the 14-story development goes beyond the average retirement community. Its Virtual Senior Center lets everyone at the center stay involved, even if they are unable to make it to the actual events. K-VII is Selfhelp’s ninth affordable housing building. The building’s 92 units were filled through a housing lottery with a requirement that one member of the household is 62 years old or up. Eighty percent of the apartments are affordable to seniors earning less than 60 percent of the Area Median Income, or no more than $23,240 annually per individual. The other 20 percent of units were dedicated to seniors earning less than 40 percent of the AMI, or no more than $34,860 annually. Besides its affordability, the highlight of the residence is the Virtual Senior Center. Selfhelp launched the VSC in 2010, with the support of the Dept. of the Aging, the Dept. of Infor-

mation Technology & Telecommunications and Microsoft. It is an interactive program built to enhance the lives of homebound seniors. With this technology, residents can take part in wellness classes, financial management courses, computer training, support groups and current events discussions from their own rooms. Seniors can also use the equipment to chat with relatives and friends. In the past, this technology has allowed seniors to take part in live events and discussions from the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Historical Society and the New York Hall of Science. All of the units in the development are computer-ready and integrated with energy efficient lighting systems. They feature roll-in showers and have the ability to hook up sensors that monitor activities of daily living. A social worker in the building is also available to help residents take advantage of the full range of technology available to them. The community room is equipped with video chat-enabled computer workstations, cognitive strengthening units, exercise equipment and health screening kiosks. “This project gave Selfhelp the opportunity to incorporate the most upto-date technology in the design of this building,” Stuart Kaplan, CEO of Self-

Selfhelp K-VII, a 92-unit affordable senior residence, recently opened in Flushing. help Community Services, said. “We pioneered significant advances in the monitoring and social integration of our residents with their surroundings and their neighbors while additionally making all the units computer-ready.” In terms of its environmental friendliness, the new senior residence has a waste management plan that diverts 25 percent of its debris from the landfill. Its roofing material meets Energy Star standards. There is motionsensor lighting in all areas with low or

infrequent occupancy, as well as timers for exterior lighting. Selfhelp K-VII had a total development cost of $26.1 million. To help with the price tag, it received fixedrate tax-exempt bonds issued by the Housing Development Corporation under its Low-Income Affordable Marketplace Program, with credit enhancement provided by JPMorgan Chase during construction. The taxexempt bonds were used to the $13 million senior mortgage and provide a $5.98 million second subordinate loan funded through the Corporation’s reserves. “Our city has a critical need for more affordable housing, especially for senior citizens, and I applaud this partnership of public, private and nonprofit organizations for finding innovative, modern and energy-efficient ways to address the crisis,” State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) said at the ribbon-cutting. “I am pleased to welcome this new facility to Flushing and hope to attend many more grand openings in the future.” Selfhelp will also open the 9,000square-foot Charles B. Wang Health and Wellness Center next year. This wing will bring medical services to the area, promoting health and wellness.

Queens’ Party Problems

Make Progress On Affordabilty

To The Editor: n a petty and vindictive move, Boss Joe Crowley Queens County Democratic Chairman arranged for former New York City Comptroller John Liu to oppose incumbent State Senator Tony Avella (D-Bayside) in a primary for the 11th State Senatorial District. This was unjustified because Avella was known for his attention to the welfare of his constituents and not as an errand boy for the fat cat real estate moguls who for too long

There seems to be a continued disconnect on what this City needs in terms of affordable housing, and with each new development that is planned, that disconnect seems to grow. While many City officials seem to be patting themselves on the back over the approval of the Astoria Cove project, with 20 percent of its units planned to be marked as “affordable,” they seem to either not understand or not care that this decision does little to alleviate the lack of housing that residents of this City can ostensibly afford. The Astoria Cove project proposes to create about 1,700 residential units, with about 340 of those set to be below market rate. Community Board 1 recommended to oppose the project earlier this summer due to a lack of affordable units. Borough President Melinda Katz followed suit. Unfortunately, those recommendations are not binding, and the City Planning Commission voted earlier this week to give the proposal the go-ahead. While Mayor Bill de Blasio’s staff called the City Planning Commission vote a “game-changer” when it comes to development, it seems more like business as usual and a ghost from a previous administration that appeared to care little about the working class of this City. When de Blasio took office, along with a new class of City Council members, the new administration was touted as having a more progressive vision for the City than it had experienced over the previous 12 years. This is the time to prove it. The Astoria Cove proposal now moves to the City Council, the final stop for any changes that need to be made. We hope that the City Council lives up to its promise of a more progressive New York City by pushing for changes to the proposal that will increase affordable housing units at Astoria Cove. Doing that will send a message to developers in the City that this is a priority.

In YOur OpInIOn Climate Change Deniers Are Wrong

To The Editor: ’m never surprised by the ignorance of GOP supporters. But congratulations are in order for all the climate change deniers whose letters reach new heights in blind stupidity! All their mindless opinions will never distract us from the “FACT” that climate change exists. Yes, they may be right that it used to be referred to as “global warming.” But thanks to politicians beholden to “Big Oil” and the uneducated that watch FOX or read the POST, scientists (you know, the people who use statistics and analyze facts to determine reality) needed to modify the heading.

The FACTS are, 1: the planet is warming and most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years. 2: Glaciers are retreating everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa. 3: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. 4: Global sea level rose almost seven inches in the last century. The rate in just the last 10 years, however, is double that! It’s a good thing that rising temperatures, rising ocean waters, rising occurrences of drought in some areas and

rising flood waters in others are equalized by the diminishing intelligence of people who watch FOX and read the POST. The argument over climate change is not a game to be won or lost. It truly is “A Matter of Survival.” Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climatewarming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The other three percent must belong to the “Flat Earth Society” (it really exists). “Just a fact.” Robert LaRosa, Whitestone

Top Marks To BAN

To The Editor: hat’s not to like! As a member of the Briarwood Action Network (BAN), I cannot begin to tell you how delighted I am with this organization. BAN has had park days in which members have cleaned up our local parks. BAN has also planted bulbs and painted park benches. Our 9/11 day of service and remembrance, Sept. 13, 2014, was an exceptionally wellattended event. Members and

residents cleaned and painted the park adjacent to MS 217. Students and parents chipped in to make their little park a more pleasant space. Even though I am a member of another community group, BAN is physically doing things for our neighborhood. I will not negate ever any community group and if there would be ten community groups in Briarwood, I would gladly be a paying member. Barbara D’Ambrosio, Briarwood

Stand Up To DOE’s Cash Grab

To The Editor: ublic school parents are right to complain about their sky-high, out-ofpocket costs for mandated supplies for their children. Private schools have always gotten away with a “we can charge whatever we want...take it or leave it” attitude, but government-run schools were until recently almost completely free, except for nominal items like notebooks and pencils. The Department of Education is rich with cash but poor on priorities. The teachers union contract, which some blame for all humanity’s problems, proves once again to be the parents’ friend. It requires schools to provide basic supplies and materials.

spirit to children’s needs. Principals have almost total control over their school’s budgets. But parents have more influence than they realize. Rights that are not exercised in effect do not exist. Parents must get involved in the operation of their children’s schools. Not just when the principal doesn’t mind but whenever they have a right to be. Such activism is their duty and it will help prioritize resources fairly and keep the cookie jar handlers honest. Ron Isaac, Fresh Meadows

LaGuardia Wins ‘First In The World’ Grant

BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE Staff Writer

LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City will receive federal funds to support its low income and minority students. On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Charles

Schumer (D-New York) and U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) announced $2,908,031 for the college allocated through the U.S. Dept. of Education’s “First in the World” Program, which provides grants to help schools retain and graduate students from underserved populations. Funds will be used for LaGuardia’s “Project Completa” program for low-income and minority student success. Specifically, the “Project Completa” money will go towards spotlighting pre-enrollment services for highrisk students and connecting students with faculty in their majors for skill development. “This is such a great investment for LaGuardia Community College,” Gillibrand said in a statement released Tuesday. “Providing New York’s students with the resources and support needed to enroll and complete college will help bridge the gap for students – so they can reach their full potential.” More than 90 percent of the LaGuardia population are minority students, according to CUNY statistics. More than 70 percent have an annual family income under $25,000. “Winning the ‘First in the World’ [grant competition] will give LaGuardia the resources we need to further spur innovation at our campus, and directly and powerfully help our students graduate so they can transform their lives and their families’ lives,” LaGuardia Community College president Dr. Gail Mellow said. The funding is expected to support more than 25,000 students as they enroll and work towards their degrees.

Colignaro Discusses State Senate Campaign By Luis Gronda Staff Writer The challenger to State Sen. Joe Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) said he has a passion to fight for the people of the 15th Senate District and believes he can bring a needed new voice to Albany. Michael Colignaro is the Republican challenger to the seat Addabbo has held since 2009. The Rego Park resident is looking to reclaim that position for the Republican Party, which was held by Addabbo’s predecessor, Serphin Maltese. The 15th Senate District encompasses much of southern and central Queens, stretching from the Rockaway Peninsula to parts of Ridgewood and including areas like Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Maspeth and Middle Village. Colignaro is an alumnus of St John’s University and Queensborough Community College and manages a law firm in Floral Park at the law offices of Peter Cardalena, Jr. He obtained his law degree at Concord Law School, an online law school based in California. Last week, Colignaro sat down with the Queens Tribune to discuss his campaign and his opinions on several issues affecting the district. When asked why he decided to challenge Addabbo for the Senate seat, he said the district needs stronger repre-

Republican candidate Michael Colignaro said he could bring a new voice to the 15th State Senate District. sentation in Albany than it has received in the last six years. When asked to elaborate on that, Colignaro said there are issues being pushed in New York State affecting Queens that he would like to have a voice on, including the proposed homeless shelter in Glendale. He said he is “completely opposed” to building the shelter at that site and there are better alternatives for that property. “The reason I’m opposed is because the spot where it’s supposed to be placed could have use as either a school or an industrial manufacturing

plant, one of the two,” Colignaro said. He was noncommittal when asked about the potential soccer stadium that could be built at Aqueduct Racetrack, saying he would want to find out what that facility would do to the area, including whether it will affect the property values of that neighborhood as well as how much traffic it would bring during events. “Until I would know how many seats are in there and how many parking spots are in that lot and what other type of venues they would like to have in there besides the soccer stadium, like concerts, I would want to know those types of numbers before I would say if I’m for it or against it,” Colignaro said. Concerning the continued rebuilding of areas affected by Superstorm Sandy, he said Build it Back should have case managers handling people’s individual problems and situations regarding their home, a point he echoed while speaking at the Howard BeachLindenwood Civic Association on Tuesday. He also said that Dept. of Environmental Protection and Dept. of Transportation should make sure to fix sewers and fire hydrants in commercial areas because some in Sandyaffected neighborhoods are still not operational. Regarding the Woodhaven col-

lapsed building at 78-19 Jamaica Ave., Colignaro said he would be standing outside the building, making sure the owner does what he needs to do, whether it is renovating the building or demolishing it completely. “We don’t want to have situations, like we’ve unfortunately had in the past, where a building collapses and people die and then things get done,” he said. According to Colignaro, the issues he will focus on in his campaign include addressing quality of life in the district’s neighborhoods and using discretionary funds towards opening more senior centers in the district and funding more civic organizations as well. When asked how he can win this race, Colignaro touted himself as a “citizen candidate” and that he would be able to get more things done for the district as a majority member in the New York State Senate. “My main message for the voters is, I’m doing this because I believe I have what it takes to make people’s lives better,” he said. “To let them know that there’s someone who will fight for them in Albany, not just some who will say ‘yeah, come into the office. We’ll take care of it,’ and it does not get done.” Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune. com or @luisgronda.

Queens Kids Learn Rugby

From The

Pros

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

Outside of a Corona high school on Tuesday, students were out on a concrete field, tossing a leather ball around and dodging their opponents’ attempts to stop them. These kids were not playing a game of pick-up football though. They were playing rugby. On Sept. 30, HSBC Rugby Festivals made its first-ever stop in Queens for rugby training sessions with students from the Civic Leadership Academy, located at 45-10 94th St. Since the school already has its own rugby team, Tuesday’s quick camps offered a chance for kids to play the same game as their classmates. This collaboration with Play Rugby USA and Serevi Rugby took the opportunity to teach students the basics of the sport, which has been growing in popularity in the U.S. over the last several years. Universities and colleges are adding rugby programs and scholarships, giving high school students another path to higher education. Besides those advantages though, rugby is a sport that fosters a strong sense of community. “It’s a really unique culture that

I haven’t seen around many other sports. You can go anywhere and rugby players are friends,” Jaime Quick, a representative of Serevi Rugby, said. “It’s also the only sport where boys and girls play by the same exact rules. It’s really empowering for young women.” Civic Leadership Academy was one of three stops that the group made between Monday and Tuesday. They made an appearance in Harlem on Monday and then wrapped up Tuesday with a session at Energy Tech High School in Astoria. Between the two days, the group worked with about 1,800 kids. This is not the first time Civic Leadership Academy has been involved with rugby though. The school recently started its own rugby team, with the help of Play Rugby USA. Due to the lack of facilities to support traditional Public Schools Athletic League sports, Principal Phuong Nguyen looked into other options, including rugby. “We were looking at alternative options and I think that my music teacher had reached out to Rugby USA. We had them come in and do a flag-rugby team with boys and girls,” she said. “The response was so overwhelming that we decided to move forward with PSAL.”

Civic Leadership Academy students listen to Rugby Hall of Famer Waisale Serevi at a training session on Sept. 30.

For those students who play rugby at Civic Leadership Academy, Nguyen has noticed a transformative effect. The sport has boosted confidence across the board, particularly for the female students. In just one year, rugby has become part of the DNA of the school. “It’s become part of our school. It’s become part of our identity,” the principal said. Several well-known rugby players and coaches were on hand to teach the kids in their exercises and activities. Rugby Hall of Famer Waisale Serevi, U.S. Rugby player Carlin Isles, U.S. Rugby head coach Mike Tolkin, former U.S. Rugby player Phaidra Knight and others taught the kids some of the pillars of rugby, a sport based on leadership, confidence, decisionmaking and team play. According to Quick, rugby is a sport that requires every player to be able to jump, kick, pass and run. There are no specialized roles. Although it is a contact sport, rugby uses a shoulder tackle that protects

a player’s head and neck, unlike football. In another difference from football, getting hit is not a guaranteed outcome. The best players, like Serevi, evade. Serevi said he was impressed by the students’ enthusiasm and drive during the sessions. “They’re good kids, they really learned a lot. They’re so energetic,” he said. “That’s what rugby is all about, having fun.” Isles, who is known as “The Fastest Man in Rugby,” said that he and the other coaches tried to teach these kids playing the sport for the first time to open themselves to a new experience. “Just open up their mind to something new, to something different that might change their lives,” he said. “If you work hard and you really want something and you put your heart into something, you can achieve anything you want to do.” Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @JoeMarvilli.

Astoria Cove Passes City Planning Commission Astoria Cove got a green light from the City Planning Commission on Monday. The nearly nineacre Astoria Cove development proposal includes about 1,700 residential units and 54,000 square feet of retail space, as well as waterfront access, a supermarket and an elementary school. Ten of the 13 commissioners voted in favor of the developers’ application to rezone the site of the proposed development from manufacturing to residential.

Queens Store is the Gold Standard of Pawn Shops By Luis Gronda Staff Writer Gold Standard pawn shop prides itself as a higher-end establishment. With four locations in Queens, the store has established itself as one of the main players in the pawnshop industry. They have locations in Forest Hills, Elmhurst, Astoria and Floral Park, as well as four other stores on Long Island. Among the items they sell and loan are jewelry made out of gold and silver, high-end watches such as Rolex, musical instruments and even gold teeth. They also take in items on collateral loan, which is when someone loans an item to a pawnshop in exchange for money and the store keeps it for a certain amount of time. Scott Simon, one of the co-own-

ers of Gold Standard, explained how they do their loans and discussed the business itself in an interview with the Queens Tribune. He said they hold an item they take in on loan for a maximum of four months. After that time has passed, there is a 30-day grace period where the customer may still get back their possession. Simon said there are circumstances where someone cannot retrieve their item for various reasons, which is why they allow them that extra time. After that, the store is free to sell the item to another customer if they chose to do so. Simon said they want to shy away from the stereotypical image of a pawn shop, which he described as “seedy” and “dirty.” “We want to be a place where people can feel comfortable,” Simon said. Some memorable items that they have bought and sold, he said, include an eight-karat diamond ring, which he says is sold for a lot of money, but is cheaper than if you went to a jewelry store. “It’s amazing what a little rock like that costs,” Simon said.

Gold Standard has four locations in Queens including its two main branches in Forest Hills and Elmhurst.

The television show, “Pawn Stars” has brought more light to the pawn industry and while it is very much dramatized for the small screen, Simon said he is glad it has gotten popular. “It has given our industry some credibility,” he said. Simon said they see Gold Standard among the lines of a store like the one featured in “Pawn Stars” and they have been able to achieve that through their solid customer base, many of which have become

regulars through word of mouth. The show has also driven people to visit pawn shops like theirs, he said. Simon said he encourages people to visit pawn shops like Gold Standard because you can get much better prices on items available at their store. “It’s shocking the deals you can get at a pawn shop compared to a jewelry store,” he said.

Ridgewood Coffee Shop Owners To Open Bar By Luis Gronda Staff Writer The owners of a popular Ridgewood coffee shop will soon open a business that serves a different type of beverage. The business partners who run Norma’s coffee shop will open a bar next month called Julia’s. The bar, which will also serve some meals, will be located at 818 Woodward Ave., between Putnam Avenue and Cornelia Street. The watering hole’s co-owner, Crystal Williams, said the bar will mostly sell craft beer made in New York and the surrounding area, including Finback, Bridge and Tunnel and Transmitter, all of which are brewed in Queens. They will also sell wine and cheese, which are also made in New York. Williams said that for her and Denise Plowman, who co-owns Norma’s and is also part-owner of this new business venture, opening a bar was always a dream of theirs. After the success that Norma’s has had, it allowed them to pursue that goal. She said they chose Ridgewood to open the watering hole because it is where they live and they have a solid base of regular customers at Norma’s they hope will translate to the new place. It is also convenient to for them, Williams said, because when they

would want to organize a social gathering or business meeting, they would often have to leave Ridgewood. That will not be the case anymore. “When we want to have a meeting, we don’t want to leave the neighborhood,” Williams said. The bar is not yet officially open for business, she said, but they had a beer and food tasting last week as an award to people who donated to their Kickstarter campaign. According to their Kickstarter page, they raised $5,611 for the beer and

wine bar, with 103 people donating money to the project. Three people pledged $500 or more for the establishment and there were two different prizes. One was to create a custom beverage that would be named after that person and sold at Julia’s. The other was an invitation to an indoor picnic featuring tapas, cheese boards, lemonade and more. Williams said they are still waiting to get the plumbing approved by the Dept. of Buildings and they hope to be open to the public within

the next two to three weeks. She said the duo will split time between the coffee shop and the bar, but they also have employees at Norma’s who have worked there a long time and they feel comfortable with leaving the coffee place in their hands while they get the ball rolling on Julia’s. “We’re not going to sleep much, that’s for sure,” Williams said.

The ‘Wrong Man’ Honored The Right Way

Mahone A Hit With Mets

Assemblymember Francisco Moya, Community Board 4 District Manger Christian Cassagnol, Councilmember Daniel Dromm, Manny Balestrero’s sons Robert and Greg Balestrero, and Assemblymember Michael DenDekker co-named the corner of 73rd Street and 41st Avenue “Manny ‘The Wrong Man’ Balestrero Way” on Saturday. Christopher Emmanuel “Manny” Balestrero rose to unsought fame after his arrest in 1953 outside his home in Elmhurst. Manny’s story captured the imagination of Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed Manny’s story, in the movie “The Wrong Man,” on the streets of Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Woodside.

Crowley Announces Fresh Pond Road Revitalization

Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) this week announced major developments in the ongoing revitalization of Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood. “Quality of life in our district remains one of my top priorities,” Crowley said. “I’m thrilled that the aggressive and proactive steps my office has taken to improve conditions on Fresh Pond Road are delivering real results for the community.” Following an increased number of complaints regarding chronic cleanliness issues along Fresh Pond Road, Crowley recently committed over $68,000 in additional discretionary funding to hire the DOE Fund’s “Men in Blue” to clean Fresh Pond Road from Myrtle to Metropolitan Avenues. The cleaning crews will work in six hour shifts, three days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday).

Also, on Sept. 12, the LIRR and DOT completed its renovation of the site of the former abandoned newsstand on Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond Road. The sidewalk has been extended to cover the area where the abandoned newsstand formerly stood. The LIRR and DOT also provided a necessary retaining wall on the south side of the sidewalk topped with a fence, bollards every six feet to prevent vehicle parking, and site drainage profiles. Crowley will work with the DOT to get benches and other street furniture installed at the site. Finally, the DOT’s art program, in collaboration with the Queens Council on the Arts and local Ridgewood artist Andrea Bergart, unveiled a new mural in Ridgewood over the weekend. The mural – titled “Swish Swash” – is a 144’ x 6’ banner installed on fencing at Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond Road. Influenced by diverse visual traditions and geometric abstractions, “Swish Swash” is a colorful display which aims to brighten the corridor. The artist, Andrea Bergart is a Ridgewood-based artist who has exhibited in New York, California, Massa-

chusetts, Texas and Ghana, Africa. Her paintings reference diverse visual traditions, including African textiles, urban fashion and geometric abstraction.

DEP Makes $5M Available For Green Projects

City Dept. of Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd recently encouraged community groups, nonprofits and property owners to apply for the more than $5 million in new funding that the department is making available for green projects through the 2014 Green Infrastructure Grant Program. DEP is engaged in a citywide effort to soften the impervious urban landscape to help absorb rainwater that would otherwise drain into the combined sewer system and contribute to combined sewer overflows into local waterways. Through the grant program, funding is provided for the design and construction of projects, such as green and blue roofs, rain gardens and permeable pavers, which will reduce or manage a minimum of one

inch of stormwater that falls on the selected properties. Those wishing to apply for funding can review conceptual ideas with DEP engineers prior to submitting their application, which must be done by Nov. 13. “New York City is a world leader in protecting the natural environment and fighting climate change and we encourage community groups and non-profits from across the City to apply for the $5 million in new funding we have made available to build green infrastructure projects,” Lloyd said in a statement. The DEP will hold a workshop in Queens to provide support in computing stormwater calculations and to review conceptual ideas with DEP engineers prior to submitting an application. The workshop will take place from 2-5 p.m. Oct. 28 at DEP Headquarters, 5917 Junction Blvd., third floor cafeteria. For more information, visit www. nyc.gov/dep.

LEISURE

See ‘Night Watch’ At Theatre Time In Oct. BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer Theatre Time Productions is returning to the stage this October with a suspenseful production meant to leave the audience on the edge of their seats. Starting on Oct. 18, theater fans can visit the Colonial Church of Bayside for the latest work from Theatre Time, an adaptation of Lucille Fletcher’s “Night Watch.” Directed by Kevin Vincent, the show promises a psychological mystery that will keep you guessing. Judy Vincent said that she and Kevin wanted to do the play for some time, but they were waiting until the right stars aligned to put on the performance. “We just loved it and we knew that we wanted to do it. In 17 years, we never did. This

the theatre time cast of “night watch” is preparing for opening night on Oct. 18.

is the first time we’re doing it,” Judy said. “We wanted this actress, Mary Lynch. She’s the one playing this woman [Elaine Wheeler] with psychological issues. We were looking to do

something like this for the fall and she was available.” Besides Lynch, the production also stars Rene Bendana, Joanne Engfer, Frank Freeman, Jim Haines, Stephanie

Sittin’ Pretty Just past the border of Queens County, on the cusp of Great Neck, is a wonderful new restaurant called MoonStone. With a complete renovation of the outside landscaping and the beautiful modern interior, owner Tommy Lee went above and beyond in creating a home for his culinary masterpiece. I started my meal off with a “Spicy Dragon” cocktail, which consisted of tequila infused with grapefruit juice and jalapeno, garnished with a citrus jalapeño salt. The drink was sweet, spicy and delicious, and was mixed perfectly. MoonStone goes out of its way to express culinary genius through three main styles of Chinese cooking: C a nt on e s e , Hu n a n a n d Szechuan. My guest and I decided to leave the ordering to Tommy. As we sat back and waited for our first dish to arrive, the staff offered their complimentary crispy noodles with duck sauce and spicy mustard. Soon after the crispy noodles came a house specialty, crab and sweet corn soup. Unbeknownst to Tommy, this is one of my favorite Chinese soups. With a dash of white pepper and some crispy noodles to mix in, the bowl was bone dry

before I knew it. Following the soup, my guest and I enjoyed some of their Dim Sum, combined with their salt and pepper fried squid, and one of their specialties, crawfish lettuce wraps. The squid was fried to a golden brown and seasoned delicately. The lettuce wraps stole the spotlight at this stage of the meal. The crawfish was combined with a vegetable stir-fry and some crushed pistachios, giving the wraps an extra delicious crunch to them. The wraps were served with a hoisin sauce to drizzle over as you popped each individual wrap into your mouth. As I finished the final sip of

my cocktail, I was inclined to try another with our entrees. Their “Ooh La La” martini consisted of basil organic vodka mixed with pineapple and cucumber puree, finished off with baked apple bitters. Just as I take my first sip, the entrees are placed on the table. Taiwanese fried rice, lollipopped rack of lamb and red prawn awaited our taste buds. MoonStone’s style of fried rice, served with a special sweet sausage instead of roast pork gave the dish its own unique flavor. The red prawns had an incredible thin crispy layer to them as they basked in a delectable sweet and spicy sauce, surrounded by a generous portion of broccoli. The main star of the evening, though, was the rack of lamb, wokseared and finished off with a merlot demi glaze. When they were all gone, I was salivating for more! I was amazed with all the different dishes that were served to the guests dining. I swear I never saw the same dish go out twice, which is a testament to the quality of dishes. With fair prices, a great atmosphere, and incredible food, this could possibly be Great Neck’s new hot-spot! –Eric Jordan

Lenna, Paul Robilotto, Cecilia Vaicels and Michael Zurik. Judy said that having such a strong cast makes everything run smoothly and enhances the final piece. “The main challenge is to find the cast that can do the script justice. We feel that we have accomplished that for every role in this play. It’s a true ensemble cast,” she said. “When you put together such a strong cast, things just fall into place.” Audience members who attend opening night on Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. will have a chance to meet the cast afterwards at the opening night dessert party. For “Night Watch,” Theatre Time will feature in-the-round seating, where the audience surrounds the stage and the actors. This arrangement gives everyone in the crowd a close look at the action during the show.

“That’s live theater at its best. I don’t think there’s anything like that,” Judy said. Judy added that the positive feedback Theatre Time received for its in-the-round performance of “12 Angry Men” encouraged the Vincents to adapt “Night Watch” in a similar fashion. You can see “Night Watch” on Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26. The performances on Friday and Saturday start at 8 p.m., while Sundays’ shows start at 3 p.m. The Colonial Church of Bayside is located at 54-02 217th St. Tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors and students. To reserve your tickets, call (347) 358-8102 or visit www.theatretime.org. Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@ queenstribune.com, or @JoeMarvilli.

Drink & Be Scary At Chain Theatre

BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE Staff Writer

It’s better than popcorn. The Chain Theatre in Long Island City and Queens Brewery are joining forces to bring the Borough several nights of beer and scary movies. Cinema Under the Influence will present its inaugural event on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Chain, screening a double feature of David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet” and John Carpenter’s classic “Halloween.” An hour-long reception will precede the movies. Queens Brewery will provide its Queens Lager and another special offering, according to Jon Hogan, who curates Cinema Under the Influence with partners Edwin Adrian Nieves, Benham Jones and Brian Essman. “For maybe a year or so now, I’ve been seeing programs like this popping up - programs that offer curated classic films along with full beverage service,” Hogan said. “It was time to bring this program to the Borough.” He added that he sees the Museum of the Moving Image, Kaufman Astoria Studios and Silvercup Studios as evidence of Queens’ interest in film. For Cinema Under the Influence, part of the goal of the

series is to both entertain and educate audience members. “What we really aspire to is … to emphasize the cinema as an art through literature that investigates the presented films,” Nieves said. Nieves is a film blogger and contributed a critical film essay to a small collection that will be printed in the night’s program. The collection offers work written specifically for Cinema Under the Influence and also includes writing from Dr. Kendall Phillips of Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. “It’s something that we’re all passionate about and can create the best presentation for the Queens community,” Hogan added. “We hope they’ll take away being exposed to these interesting films, thinking about the films in a different way, seeing them in interaction with each other.” Upcoming Cinema Under the Influence events will be revealed at the Oct. 11 double feature. Interested moviegoers can purchase tickets at https://web.ovationtix.com/ trs/pe.c/9950719. Reach Jackie Strawbridge at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128, jstrawbridge@queenstribune. com or @JNStrawbridge.

QUEENS TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER

Better Luck Next Year While the Mets ended the 2014 season with two wins over the Houston Astros - the celebration of Saturday's 2-1 win is pictured above - the team finished tied for second with Atlanta in the National League East with a losing 79-83 record. And while their Bronx counterparts were saying farewell to their retiring captain, the Mets were honoring a player who spent half a season playing in Flushing. Photo by Bruce Adler.

Saying Goodbye To ... Abreu?

While the Yankees were honoring a retiring legend all last week, the Mets honored a player who only played half a season with the team. The team’s bench outfielder, Bobby Abreu, announced that he was retiring at the end of this season, which ended on Sunday. Abreu, 40, played for six teams during his 18-year career, including a three-year term with the Yankees. Abreu announced his intention to retire at a press conference with manager Terry Collins by his side. He started the last game of the season and was pulled to a standing ovation during the contest. On WFAN's morning radio show, Boomer and Carton poked fun at the Mets for

honoring Abreu, even though he had a long career. They went through his career stats with the Mets. He had 133 at-bats with the Metropolitans, batting .248 with one home run and 14 RBI’s. “Thank you for that one home run,” Carton said jokingly. On Twitter, several people started tagging their tweets with the “#re5p3ct” hashtag, similar to that of the “#re2pect” hashtag when talking about Derek Jeter. We can certainly see why the Mets celebrating Abreu is a bit comical, but he did have a good career, posting much better numbers in his prime. Maybe he’s not at the level of a Derek Jeter, but that should be recognized as well.

Starving For More Freedom Former NYPD officer Gilberto Valle, also known as the cannibal cop, said that he should be allowed to leave his mom’s home in Forest Hills. After serving time in prison, Valle was released in July after a judge overturned his conviction for fantasizing and planning to kidnap and cook women on the Internet. The judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence for a jury to have convicted him last year.

He has been placed under house arrest until his case has gone under the appeal process. While Valle never acted on his fantasies, sentencing him to life may have been biting off more than the original judge could chew. But, we here at QConf are content knowing that Valle will have to settle for getting his food delivered for the time being.

Switching Focus In Government Moving on to a new position in government is not an unusual step for political staffers. Switching parties, however, is not as common. Eben Bronfman, who helped run Republican John Catsimitidis' bid for mayor last year has recently

taken on a new position. While also serving as an adjunct lecturer at NYU, Bronfman recently took a position as a Councilmatic aide to Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley. The switch is a bit strange, but we wish him all the best!

QCorrection That’s egg on our face. QConf would like to apologize for some misinformation in last week’s column. In our excitement about the awesome street food options available in the Borough, we mistakenly listed some finalists of the 2014 Vendy Awards as winners. While Ricas Botanas Mexicana, El Rey Del Taco, King of Falafel & Shawarma and Bolivian Llama Party all deserve high praise for their excellent offerings, the ultimate winners of the contest were Cinnamon Snail (Vendy Cup), Nuchas (People’s Choice,) Calexico (Master Cup), Snowday (Rookie of the Year) and Zha Pan Asian (Best of Market). Ice and Vice did win Best Dessert, as listed last week. What can we say – we just expect everything from Queens to trounce everything else!

While the brother-sister duo of Misia and Dante Vessio split their music between drums and guitar, respectively, the siblings both started with drum lessons when they were children. They first started learning to play when Dante was 4 years old and Misia was 7 years old. Now, more than a decade later, the musicians are a two-piece band modeled after the White Stripes, called Vessio. Do not think of them as a tribute act though. Instead, these two put their own twist on the formula Jack and Meg White created. Generally, Dante handles the guitar and vocals in the band, while Misia plays the drums. But both of the siblings can play more than one instrument, bringing their various talents to create a dynamic, powerful sound. Listen to a song like “Ricochet Blues” or “Change The World” and you will be knocked back by punishing percussion, fuzzed-out guitar riffs and passionate vocals. Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the White Stripes are some of their major influences. Based in Astoria, Vessio started in 2010, but the siblings have been playing together for many years. As they have grown older, they have advanced from covers to original songs, which have relatable messages and strong structures. Their ultimate goal is to become a major, worldwide benefit band that tackles global issues. “Our songwriting has evolved from rock-pop to more serious subjects as world hunger, sexual harassment, the blues and the musical compositions have become more complex as we have gotten older and more experienced,” the duo said.

Even though there are only two of them, Vessio has a huge sound. Their relationship allows them the freedom to practice whenever they want. “We have a music room with three complete drumsets and all other equipment in our home. ‘Disciplined practice’ is a must,” they said. “Our sound is so powerful that people go into shock when they see only the two of us.” Vessio’s experience in front of a crowd came from gigs at open mics in local bars and venues like Cronin & Phelan and Shillelagh Tavern. These live shows helped the duo develop their talent as performers, while retaining a disciplined, focused attitude in the studio. “The studio is where we work on our craft and playing live is where we express ourselves musically and physically knowing that we are entertainers trying to please a crowd that usually knows music,” they said. The band got a chance to please a TV crowd during their appearances on “The Groove Masters Show” and “Next Great Family Band.” Vessio is putting the finishing touches on their nine-song, self-titled debut album. For this record, they stayed in their home borough, working with Carmine Gonzalez of Loss4 Words Productions in Bayside. Once it is out, you can expect to see Vessio at a venue near you, as they plan to tour in support of their debut effort.
