GOP Split Deepens After Meeting By Steven J. Ferrari Editor-in-Chief The contentious split between Queens County Republicans has become deeper, with allegations of racism and bullying on one side and a court case filed from the other. The latest source of discontent spilled over after the Sept. 27 reorganizational meeting, where longtime Republican leader Phil Ragusa held on to his position, despite a challenge from former U.S. Rep. Bob Turner. According to members present at the Sept. 27 Queens Republican Party reorganizational meeting, a faction led by Councilman Eric Ulrich (ROzone Park) made a number of racist and disparaging remarks about and towards individuals at the meeting. Some members in attendance said they felt they were bullied and belittled by Ulrich. Ulrich was said to become increasingly agitated when the vote was not going his way. Sources say that Ulrich’s faction, which also included Bart Haggerty, Ulrich’s former chief of staff, and Tony Nunziato, a Republican District Leader in Maspeth, continued to disrupt the meeting. Natalie Dubovici, a member of the party’s credentials committee tasked with verifying the votes, said Ulrich “was acting like a child” and made “a mockery” of the process. She noted that Ulrich and his companions loudly accused her of doing her job poorly and belittled her when she defended herself and explained her decisions. “I was just disgusted about how an

Councilman eric ulrich

elected official belittled me,” she said. “As an elected official, [Ulrich] should not be talking to people like that.” Ulrich called the meeting “a circus,” and responded it was being run unfairly and they were attempting to maintain order. He noted that a court case has been filed to attempt to wrest leadership from Ragusa. “Just because you declare yourself the winner and tell people to shut up doesn’t mean you’re the chair,” Ulrich said. An email written by Kathy Huang, who served as parliamentarian for the meeting, detailed a number of racist remarks made by the group, both towards her and other Asian-Americans present. The email obtained by the Queens Tribune was sent to a party member who was not present at the meeting. When Huang explained who she was and her role at the meeting, a member of Ulrich’s group was said

to have asked, “Is she even American? Where does she practice law, in China?” Huang’s email also stated that when a speaker had trouble pronouncing an Asian district leader’s name, Nunziato stated, “Ching Chong Won, what’s the difference, they all sound the same.” Nunziato also reportedly referred to Eben Brofman, John Catsimatidis’ Mayoral campaign manager, derogatorily, saying “there’s that fat pig’s Jew coming to do his dirty work,” the email also detailed. Another source at the meeting, who wished to remain nameless, said Ulrich berated an older woman at the meeting after Ulrich challenged a proxy vote the woman had cast, accusing the woman of committing a fraud and that her proxy vote should be invalid. Robert Hornak, the party’s executive director, said the comments were upsetting. “Those kinds of sentiments are completely unacceptable in the political sphere, as they are in any other aspect of life,” he said. Ulrich denied the allegations. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said. “It’s such an outrageous claim to make.” Nunziato added that no one in their camp made racist remarks at the meeting. “I would never say or do anything like that to personally offend someone,” he said. “I just want to get real people to come out and run, so there’s real choice on the ballot.” Reach Steven J.

MTA Includes Queens LIRR In Capital Plan By LuiS GrOnda Staff Writer Could the Metropolitan Transportation Authority possibly reactivate a defunct Long Island Rail Road line in the next two decades? That is what transit activists hope after reading the MTA’s Capital Needs Assessment from 20152034. In page 133 of the report, the agency lists possibly reviving the train line as a way to address the growing need for more subway and bus patterns. “A possible option is the utilization of abandoned or underutilized Rights of Way (ROW) such as... the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch...Conversion of existing ROWs...could help reduce land acquisition and construction costs, and facilitate construction time in densely developed areas,” it says in their report, released last week. Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Ozone Park), who has long been an advocate for revitalizing the train line that would run from the Rockaways to Rego Park, praised the transit agency for including the train line in their capital needs report. “The MTA has heard our calls for smart investment in existing Right of Ways to improve transit infrastructure, create jobs, while helping each family in Queens and across the City in their daily commutes,” he said in a statement. But Andrea Crawford, a member of the Friends of the QueensWay group, which supports creating an elevated bike path on the 3.5-mile stretch of vacant land instead of revitalizing the train line, said this does not mean the QueensWay will not happen and the feasibility study for the project, which began last month, is still ongoing. “The study does not say its intent is to activate or fund the train line,” she said. “We continue to move forward in a way that supports the economic development of Queens without impacting its ecology.” Kevin Ortiz, an MTA Spokesman, said its inclusion in their report does not mean the agency is considering activating the train line and nothing has been done regarding that issue at this time. He added the 20-year plan gives possibilities for all potential projects. Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, Ext. 127, lgronda@queenstribune.com, or @luisgronda.

Mega Mall Gets Final Approval From City Council By Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s development plan to build a mega mall at Willets Point was approved by the City Council on Oct. 9. The $3 billion development project, spearheaded by the Queens Development Group, a joint venture with Related Companies and Sterling Equities, made several concessions to garner the support from City Council members. The joint venture has agreed to give $15.5 million to the newly-created Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alliance and an additional $2.68 million toward a rooftop farm/greenhouse at the mega mall. Despite the assurances of concessions, not everyone was completely on board with the plan. “We remain skeptical that a 1.4 million square foot mall on public parkland is the kind of economic development our community needs,” Rev. George Anastasiou from Faith in New York said in a statement. He went on to say that they are grateful for Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst), who has worked hard to improve the conditions of the proposed development by including benefits for the local community, such as good jobs for local res-

idents, affordable housing, improvements to Flushing Meadow Park, partnerships with local businesses and steps to reduce the burden of increased traffic. The joint venture is slated to clean the 23 acres of land currently occupied by the auto shop owners by 2015. After the clean-up, the development of 126th Street will start, which includes retail, restaurants and a hotel to the east of Citi Field; west of the stadium will see an entertainment and retail center. The east side of the project will be completed by 2016 and the west side will be completed by 2018. The construction of the total housing units, another major part of the redevelopment project, is contingent upon building new ramps off the Van Wyck Expressway, which the City is slated to begin in 2021 and complete by 2024. The city has agreed to allocate $66 million in the budget for design and construction of new ramps off the Van Wyck Expressway leading to Willets Point, Ferreras said. The total number of housing units for the entire build-out is 5,850, according to City officials. Since the number of affordable housing units is

35 percent of the total number of housing units, more than 2,000 affordable housing units will be built between the two phases of the project. Phase 1b of the project consists of the construction of 871 affordable housing units, which will begin by 2024. The rest of the affordable housing units, approximately 1,200, will be built during Phase two of the project. According to City officials, if the joint venture does not follow through on their commitments at Willets Point, they will be penalized with a $35 million fine and the City has the right to replace them with another developer. “This historic project will lead to the remediation of nearly one hundred years of environmental contamination, create a completely new infrastructure

system, develop a major new mixed-income neighborhood with abundant community and commercial amenities, infuse $3 billion of private investment into the local economy, and create nearly 20,000 jobs which will benefit residents for generations,” Kate Blumm, assistant vice president of public affairs at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, said. Approximately 110 auto shop owners at the Iron Triangle are working on a site soon to be displaced by a parking lot. However, Cornerstone, a relocating expert hired by EDC, has identified approximately 150 sites. Officials say some auto shop owners are leaving in groups or individually. So far, approximately 18 shops have agreed to relocate. The relocation firm has engaged with existing businesses for over a year, while the City has allocated $15.5 in funds to pay for the auto shop owners technical assistance, relocation costs and supplement benefits of up to a year’s rent. Cornerstone has cost the City $700,000 over the past five years, according to City officials. Reach Trisha Sakhuja at (718) 3577400, Ext. 128, tsakhuja@queenstribune.com, or @Tsakhuja13.

Council Approves New Hi-Rises At 5Pointz By Trisha sakhuja Staff Writer The City Council approved a special permit on Oct. 9 to build a pair of high-rise buildings that will displace an iconic warehouse in Long Island City that has seen tourists from around the world because of the graffiti art it displays on its walls. Even though the Wolkoff family owns the right to build on the property at 22-44 Jackson Ave., the developers applied for a special permit to change their current zoning to build on a larger floor area that consists of two buildings, measuring 47 and 41 stories tall, with a total of 1,000 apartment units. During the City Council public hearing on Oct. 2, David Wolkoff of G&M Realty said they look at their development project as a transition from the past and present to the future, which will help create Long Island City’s new identity. Wolkoff said after many discussions with Community Board 2 and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (DSunnyside), they have agreed to increase the number of affordable housing units from 75 to 210. “By working closely with both applicants and the community, we have ensured that the public will be provided with a reasonable development that

will guarantee the community of Long Island City continues to thrive,” Van Bramer said in a statement. The agreement includes a guarantee that the developer will hire 800 union construction workers and approximately 200 full time workers. Since the Wolkoffs have allowed for legal graffiti artwork to adorn the walls of their 200,000-square-feet warehouse at 5Pointz for more than a

decade, he said the new development will consist of art walls, artist studio space and an attractive art gallery that will showcase the work of local artists. “We are not going back on our promises,” Wolkoff said previously. In a recent agreement signed by Jerry Wolkoff, the developers have promised to remain committed to the arts in this building by increasing the amount of artist studio and gal-

lery space from 2,200-square-feet to 12,000-square-feet. Marie Flageul, a volunteer at 5Pointz, has said that 5Pointz curator Jonathan Cohen should be offered the artist space due to his dedication to the site. According to the newly signed agreement, Cohen, also known as Meres, will be given the opportunity to aerosol on the 10,000-square-feet of art panels and walls along Davis Street. Furthermore, this space will be available to local artists at reasonable rents. David Wolkoff previously said that he is very hopeful that Cohen and the artist community will come back to paint when the development is built. In addition to artist space and affordable housing, the developer has committed to build a public park that is over 32,000-square-feet. Other amenities within the building include over 50,000-square-feet of retail space, a gym, media rooms, a rock climbing wall, meeting rooms, 500 bike-rack spaces and a 250 car parking garage. A spokesperson from 5Pointz was not able to comment on the newly signed agreement in time for press. Reach Trisha Sakhuja at tsakhuja@ queenstribune.com, or @Tsakhuja13.

Blame Both Sides

In Our OpInIOn

Deal Not Ideal Development of the Iron Triangle has been promised to the people of Queens for years. The City Council approved a plan in 2008 that was slowly changed and became unrecognizable to many who originally agreed to it. So you’ll excuse us if we remain skeptical about the plan approved by the City Council on Wednesday, promising a go-ahead for a project that has been promised since before many of the current City Council had even been elected. By the time the project is finalized, who knows how many will have come and gone. Jobs are important, bringing more tax dollars to the Borough is important. A new retail and entertainment center will bring those things to Queens. An added concession to the deal – millions of dollars to the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alliance – is a nice touch. But the proposal still falls short of what is most needed here. It seems as though no one was willing to push on the need for affordable housing sooner rather than later. The need for ramps at the Van Wyck is the hold-up, but construction of the ramps won’t even start until 2021. By then, who knows how bad the need for affordable housing will be. Affordable housing is not a profitable enterprise. Because it will never be a money-maker, we need our elected officials to hold developers’ feet to the fire and force them to provide it, but the City Council continues to let that slide. We shall see how this project eventually turns out, but don’t be surprised if those housing units never get built.

In YOur OpInIOn Israel: Time For Vote To End Shutdown

To the Editor: here’s a lot of blame and finger pointing for the recent federal government shutdown. Today I’m offering a common-sense solution. Originally, House Republicans in the majority offered a resolution to temporarily

continue governing operations. It had two conditions: Fund the government at a level that many Democrats felt was insufficient; and defund and delay the Affordable Care Act. I could not support both of those conditions, particularly using a shutdown of the federal government to effectively repeal the Affordable Care Act. Now I have been advancing a common-sense compromise that would reopen the federal government immediately. We should vote on a budget that agrees to the original funding level proposed by Republicans, but does not defund or repeal the Affordable Care Act. This extension would give us the time to negotiate long-term budget issues while keeping our government open. If you are on the far right, you will disagree with me that we should not defund or repeal

the Affordable Care Act. If you are on the far left, you will disagree with me that we should accept, even temporarily, the Republican-proposed budget levels. However, I believe that most people whom I represent do not want to use the Affordable Care Act to shut down services they are paying for with tax dollars, and they expect that I will work hard and responsibly to keep the government open while negotiating our differences. I believe that there are enough votes in Congress today to pass this compromise immediately. I have urged Republican Speaker John Boehner to just bring it to a vote. People can vote for it or against it, but we owe the American people a vote. Steve Israel U.S. Congressman 3rd District

Collapse Concerns

T

To The Editor: he Woodhaven Business Improvement District is very concerned with the lack of action since the collapse of the building at 78-19 Jamaica Avenue on April 15, 2013. This collapsed building also damaged our Woodhaven Senior Citizens Center, which is located next door. The owner, 78-19 Jamaica Avenue LIC, had 42 open building violations at the time of the collapse, which still have not been corrected. During these past five months, no action has been taken by the owner to repair or reconstruct this building, other than to build a fence (which is constantly graffiti vandalized). This lack of repair has resulted in the Senior Citizen Center elderly members having to vacate the premises due to the dangerous conditions.

him dearly, and he may very likely have to let workers go. More unemployment, more dissatisfaction. Alas, the program is not the silver bullet the Democrats, liberals, Bill Maher, many one-sided news networks and Nancy Pelosi have made it out to be. I’ve tried to discuss this with some of my more leftwing friends, but they refused to listen. As for those who you disagree with being unable to answer, I have had the same response. I ask Democrats why I can’t be allowed guns to defend myself and family, but it is perfectly alright for politicians, the Hollywood elite and certain left-wingers to own them. They can’t answer me. Notwithstanding the present government shutdown, both parties are to blame, as well as their supporters. Alas, Tyler, it works both ways. Edward Riecks Howard Beach

This is why it is so imperative that the owner of 78-19 be forced to repair their premises complying with all building certifications and codes. If they do not, then their building should be demolished. The Woodhaven Business Improvement District and the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation would appreciate your intervention in this dangerous situation.

Rozic Announces STAR Exemption Workshop

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

Comm. Leaders Oppose Proposed School

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

Dozens of community leaders came together in Whitestone to fight against a possible public high school. The proposed school on 150th Street near 5th Avenue drew about 150 people who shouted and protested against the location on Oct. 2. The School Construction Authority had recently surveyed the old Whitestone Jewels LLC site, looking to build a school in the area. The SCA did not tell any members of the neighborhood they were looking into the site for a school. It was only because community leaders witnessed the surveying that they found out and organized the rally. While the community leaders who spoke knew there was a need for a new high school in the 26th School District, they said the site was inappropriate and the SCA was doing what it wanted with no regards for the community. The area that is being proposed by the SCA has extremely limited public transportation options, a lack of sidewalks and is at the end of a police precinct. Community leaders also said a school would create an enormous amount of traffic and would remove many parking spots. At the moment, the site is a grassy field closed to the public and waiting for development. “This is absolutely insane. How can you turn a beautiful, wonderful property into a public high school? It doesn’t make sense to me,” Community Board 7 member Kevin Shields said. Members of the Greater Whitestone Taxpayers Civic Association, CB7, the Waterside Estates at Cresthaven Homeowners Association and more were joined by City Council

District 19 candidates Paul Vallone and Dennis Saffran at the rally. Kim Cody, president of the GWTCA, said he spoke to a SCA surveyor and asked him what other sites were being looked at. The surveyor said none. “They aren’t looking anywhere else,” Cody said. “We have to show the City we’re not something they’re just going to walk over. It’s not the right thing to do.” “When developers want to build something, you know what they do in the beginning?” Chuck Apelian of CB7 said. “They come in and they come to the board and say ‘what do you think?’ Why can’t the City of New York do the same thing?” “We want the City to talk to us and not just do it in a vacuum and not just say we’re coming here. It should be about what all of us think together,” Debra Markell, president of Cresthaven Homeowners Association, said. Both Vallone and Saffran agreed the SCA needs to change the way it does business. “You did not include us. The process is wrong. That’s why we’re here,” Vallone said. “If you’re going to talk about a school in the heart of Whitestone, why not talk to the heart of Whitestone?” “While we absolutely need schools, the City has got to consider the effect on neighborhoods. It just isn’t the right kind of location,” Saffran said. “They should certainly be required to go through the same approval process as any developer.” Community leaders rallied at the site on Oct. 5 again, the second of many they plan to hold. A representative from the SCA said that the protests are premature. “As we do throughout the City, we always take preliminary surveys of areas where we have identified a need for new school construction,” Marge Feinberg of the SCA said. “This is just one area in the City we are surveying.

While many homeowners may be familiar with the basic School Tax Relief Program exemption, new legislation is requiring all homeowners to re-register with the New York State Tax Dept. in order to receive the exemption going forward. To assist with this process, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Hillcrest) will host a workshop and registration drive on Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Representatives from the State Dept. of Taxation and Finance and the City Dept. of Finance will be on hand for a brief presentation on the program. Previously, homeowners who were registered for the STAR exemption did not have to re-register each year. The initial registration was all that was required. New legislation requires that all homeowners will have to do a onetime re-registration this year, in order to continue receiving the benefits for 2014 and onward. The legislation is meant to cut down on rampant fraud in the system that could wind up costing millions of dollars. The only ones who do not have to re-register are senior citizens who receive the Enhanced STAR exemption. “With new registration procedures in place, I urge homeowners to learn the new requirements and register as quickly as possible - my office will be here to help with any questions,” Rozic said. “Protecting the STAR program from fraud allows these savings to continue to help families keep more money in their pockets.” The workshop was announced at a homeowner town hall that Rozic held along with U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) and Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens). City and State agencies, community groups and financial institutions made an appearance at the Armenian Church of Holy Martyrs in Bayside to answer questions from the local residents. “I am glad that there are many agencies and their representatives to assist the community on these issues,” Michael Feiner, president of the Bayside Hills Civic Association, said. The workshop will take place at Rozic’s district office, located at 15916 Union Tpke., Flushing. To RSVP, call (718) 820-0241 or email RozicN@

Fresh Meadows Library Closing For Renovation

BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

As new and revamped branches of the Queens Library open throughout Queens, another one is due to undergo some renovations starting this weekend. Queens Library’s Fresh Meadows branch will close on Oct. 12 so it can install a radio-frequency identification check-in and check-out system. These advanced lending systems are being added to all of the libraries in the Borough. The upgrades are scheduled to last about three months, unless this winter’s weather delays the project. The library is due to reopen in the middle of January 2014. Funding for the renovations was secured by Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens). The project will cost $998,000 in total. Starting Oct. 21, a Mobile Library will be parked outside the Fresh Meadows and will provide limited service every Monday and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It will have a select amount of books available for checkout, will take book check-ins and will have a full array of reference services available. This is the first renovation the library has undergone since 2000, where it had some major work done, according to the library’s director of communications, Joanne King. The library was given all new structural improvements, including everything from heating to ventilation to air conditioning. As the RFID book borrowing system did not exist at that time, this new work is necessary. The RFID uses the same technology that is found in an E-Z Pass. “It drastically cuts down on the time customers must wait in line to check books and videos out. At the same time, it frees staff to spend more time serving customers’ informational needs,” a library spokesperson said.

Plaza College Moving To Forest Hills Campus BY LuIs GROndA Staff Writer A private college is set to move its headquarters from one area of the Borough to another. Plaza College, a four-year university that offers majors including business administration and accounting, will relocate its campus to Forest Hills in 2014. The university will take up part of the first floor and the entire second floor of Forest Hills Towers, at 118-35 Queens Blvd. That building was home

to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who set up shop there in the months after Superstorm Sandy. The college is currently located in Jackson Heights. After FEMA left the towers last year, Muss Development, who is leasing out the open space at the property, has launched a floor-by-floor leasing program, which will see several tenants move into the towers as opposed to one agency like FEMA. “Our decision to shift to a floor-byfloor leasing campaign is already pay-

ing tremendous dividends,� said Jason Muss, principal of Muss Development, in a release announcing the move. “FEMA has been an excellent tenant and we have been proud to assist in their response to Sandy. Their presence also gave us the time and opportunity to re-think the best way to maximize our opportunities at Forest Hills Tower. We are seeing strong demand for single and partial-floor leases.� Charles Callahan IV, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Plaza College, said they chose Forest Hills because of

its central location in the Borough and accessibility to the subway and various highways. “The move to the new campus will be a seamless transition for Plaza’s students, staff, and faculty,� Callahan IV said. The school will be near the E and F trains. Thoroughfares like the Van Wyck and Whitestone Expressways will also be close by.

Queens Library Foundation’s Gala A Success BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer The Queens Library Foundation hosted its annual gala Monday night, where it once again received a great deal of financial and community support. The gala was held on Oct. 7 at Water’s Edge Restaurant in Long Island City. More than 300 government and community leaders attended the gala, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The strong turnout was supplemented by more than $300,000 raised that night for the library. “I think it was terrific,� Diana Chapin, executive director of the Queens Library Foundation, said. “We

had great response from all our supporters.� Proceeds from the gala will support the Future Fund, which is meant to make sure library materials and development resources for children are readily available. The night’s success was the latest step in the foundation’s 25-year continuing mission to raise funds for free programs and services provided by the library. “We respond to what is usually needed by the library to serve the public and the community,� Chapin said. “Sometimes we change our focus, but that is in response to what the community needs.� Many programs concentrate on help-

ing immigrants and children in Queens. The Adult Learner Program offers free services, resources and learning opportunities for those in the Borough who speak little to no English. Best Out Of School Time works to improve the academic and social skills of children ages 6 to 14. The Children’s Library Discovery Center, a two-story, 14,000 square foot building in Jamaica, combines the best parts of an interactive exhibit with all the resources of a library. For their last fiscal year, the foundation raised more than one million dollars from 53 organizational donors and 2593 individual donors. As for the future, Chaplin said it is always prepared to change with the times and

with the library’s program choices. “I would anticipate in the future that we will continue to be raising money for services for new immigrants, for children and teens, for educational and job programs and for older adults,� she said. “Those are areas that continue to be really needed by the community.� If you would like to donate to the Queens Library Foundation, you can do so at www.queenslibraryfoundation.org.

U.S.-Iran Issue Discussed At Forum By Luis Gronda Staff Writer Forest Hills residents listened to a discussion on United States-Iran relations Monday night. The forum, called “Halting Iran’s Nuclear Program,� focused on the future of Iran’s nuclear program and what could happen to it under the country’s new president, Hassan Rouhani. It was held by U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing). The two main speakers of the event were Ambassador Mark Wallace and David Ibsen. Wallace is a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Ibsen is a former official at the

U.S State Department. Both are now members of United Against Nuclear Iran, a non-profit organization that advocates stopping that country’s nuclear program. Wallace said that while U.S. and Iran relations have eased since President Rouhani took office more than two months ago, he still has not stopped its nuclear program, which was one of the focal points of his campaign. He added if the two countries are unable to strike a deal by his 101st day in office, the United States should continue with the sanctions that have negatively affected Iran’s economy for years. “If he wanted to end his nuclear

program, and truly make a deal with the west, he could have done it on his first day in office,� said Wallace, who is the executive director of UANI. “We’re of the belief that he should be tested on his first 100 days and on the 101st day, if there’s no deal, that we immediately continue more economic pressure.� He later added that countries like Japan support the United States regarding this issue and he is hopeful that Russia will back the U.S. as well, because they would benefit from Iran stopping its nuclear program. Meng, who could not appear at the forum due to being called back

to Washington D.C., called into the event via Skype to discuss the issue. She said her goal is to ensure that Iran is not capable of developing nuclear weapons. She co-sponsored a bill that strengthens sanctions against Iran. “While I don’t oppose our pursuit of diplomacy, I must insist that we remain clear-eyed and realistic about the Iranian threat,� she said. Meng added the U.S. government must continue to use those tough sanctions in order to keep the country at the negotiating table.

Tips For Safe Medication Storage, Use

Allergy season is behind us and before flu season strikes, now is the time for consumers to clean out their medicine cabinet and brush up on medication consumption and storage tips. A recent data brief from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that almost 50 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug per month. “Many of us keep multiple medications, both prescription and overthe-counter, in the house,� says JeQuithia Sims, pharmacy technician program chair at Everest College in Arlington, Texas. “But when stored or consumed incorrectly, medication can cause unexpected consequences.� Everest campuses across the country offer a pharmacy technician program that prepares students, through technical and practical training, for careers in aiding licensed pharmacists. Here Sims shares 10 pharmaceutical best practices to keep in mind when organizing the medicine cabinet. Storing your medication Store in a cool, dry place - While it varies by manufacturer, this rule

stands true for most medications. A few simple storage locations might be in a medicine cabinet, on top of a dresser or on a designated shelf. If you have children, be sure to keep medications up high and out of reach. Keep away from light - Light can degrade medication more quickly than intended, so it’s important you don’t store medication in light-filled places such as a windowsill or under powerful indoor lighting. Honor the expiration date - Whether it’s an over-the-counter or prescription medication, old pills degrade over time and can cause a bacteria imbalance when consumed. Most medication expires after one year, so use this as a rule of thumb when revisiting old pills. Do not flush - When disposing of expired, discolored, or unused prescription medications, be mindful of proper disposal practices by throwing medications away in the household trash or through your community’s medication disposal program. One of the easiest options is to take your unused or expired medications to your pharmacy and they will dispose of them properly. Flushing or pouring medication down the drain harms the environment, as sewage systems are not capable of removing medicines

from the water released into lakes, rivers and oceans.

Using your medication Note the warning label - Even if you’ve taken the medication for years, it is always a good idea to look at the warning label for consumption directions, as your doctor may have altered your dosage or the manufacturer slightly changed the consumption directions. Consuming liquids is not the same as consuming water - If the label instructs you to consume with water, be careful not to consume with other beverages. Juices and acidic drinks can cause the medication to break down faster than normal and hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, cause

coated pills to melt too quickly in the stomach - not the intestine, where it’s intended to break down. Don’t lose the dropper - It might seem the same to use a household spoon with liquid medication, but the dropper or spoon provided by the pharmacy has been measured specifically for your intended dosage. Research shows that silverware teaspoons can vary between one to nine milliliters dependent upon design, making them an unreliable tool for medication. Your pharmacist is your friend Don’t forget that your pharmacist is an expert. When in doubt about the safety of consuming a medication for any given reason, your pharmacist is there to answer your questions.

Queens’ Quintessential Qualities BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer

Queens is well-known for its diverse cultures and nationalities, but a day-long event at Queens College last week displayed how the Borough is just as diverse in many other fields, including its neighborhoods, its entertainment scene and more. “Quintessential Queens: Celebrating America’s Fourth Largest City” was a special conference held on Oct. 4 at LeFrak Concert Hall on Queens College’s campus. The event was an exploration into what Queens is and a celebration of its diversity, vitality and heritage. Made up of a series of lectures that looked at the Borough from every angle, the seminar was part of Queens College’s 75th anniversary. “I felt like this was an opportunity to engage the community of Queens and to connect them more strongly to Queens College,” John Waldman, a biology professor who coordinated the event, said. “I felt one of the lingering questions about Queens that I hoped would emerge today would be just what is the identity of Queens. This is really in its own right, its own metropolis.” The various speakers for “Quintessential Queens” discussed topics that looked at the Borough from many angles. There were panels about Queens’ natural landscape, Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats from the Borough, its place in American history and its growing literary scene today. Theatrical performances, poetry and comments from elected officials rounded out the day.

Diverse PeoPle Some of the lectures focused on the element that helps to make Queens unique: the variety of nationalities found in every community. Andrew Beveridge, a professor of sociology at Queens College, talked about the massive changes in the Borough’s demographic throughout the last few decades. When the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was signed into law, it forever changed the racial makeup of Queens and the nation. Many immigrants from Asia, Latin America and Africa made their way through the doors that had opened up, with a large number of them settling in Queens. “Queens is really heavily foreign-born,” Beveridge said during his address. “Only 40 percent of the people who lived in New York

Nick Cannon Swings By St. Mary’s Hospital BY JOE MARVILLI

Staff Writer

While the music environment at St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children is usually for the patients to use themselves, the room was used on Thursday for a special appearance by Nick Cannon. The musician, philanthropist and host of “America’s Got Talent” visited St. Mary’s on Oct. 3 to meet the patients and create a lead-in to a charity concert for St. Mary’s that took place that night. Before Cannon arrived, around 50 patients of St. Mary’s sat in the music environment and listened to performances by up-and-coming artists like Wonder Boyz, a rap duo, 4Count, a boy band, and Gabi Wilson, a singer/ songwriter. The children were very enthusiastic, cheering for every artist.

When Cannon arrived, he talked to the kids as a group for a minute before meeting each of them one-on-one. The entertainer was signing autographs, taking photos and shaking hands until all the patients had left. “It’s such a pleasure to be here. This music room is awesome. We’re going to have an incredible time,” he said. “I can’t wait to get a chance to meet everyone.” Cannon said that helping the youth is a very important cause to him, and that he was happy to meet so many of the kids. “This is one of those things where it’s kind of near and dear to my heart. It is a passion of mine at the end of the day,” Cannon said. “Meeting the kids is the best part of the whole experience, and the staff too. When you think about the experience and whenever you can make these people have a smile on

According to Leslie Johnson, director of communications and marketing at St. Mary’s, children from the hospital’s afterschool program were able to attend the show. Some of the kids even got the chance to introduce the acts, along with Cannon. This is the second charity concert the hospital has held. “We’re so honored to have Nick Cannon being the host and a performer PHOTO BY JOE MARVILLI and bringing all this incredible talent Nick Cannon met with several together for St. Mary’s Kids,” Johnson children at St. Mary’s Hospital said. “We are thrilled that they can be before performing at a benefit a part of it, to help build awareness and concert. raise funds for St. Mary’s Health System their face when they’re going through for Children.” tough times.” Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 357-7400, Later that day, the three musicians Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, and Cannon performed at “Nick Can- or @Joey788.

Queens Center Celebrates Hispanic Culture BY LuIs GROndA

Staff Writer

Latin music, art and fashion will engulf the Queens Center Mall this weekend. The shopping center will host the first-ever CultureArte event on Oct. 12-13, which aims to celebrate Hispanic culture during Hispanic Heritage Month. It is hosted by Macerich, the company that operates Queens Center, and LatinSphere, an advertising company that focuses on the Hispanic market. The two-day event will include live music, dance performances and a fashion show.

Rodrigo Guzman (above) and Yesenia Adame (far right) will perform at the CultureArte event this weekend.

Aurora and Zon Del Barrio, a salsa music group, will headline the live performances at the event. They will be playing songs with another salsa legend, Larry Harlow. The dancing will feature “Dancing With The Stars” performers Yesenia Adame and Rodrigo Guzman, who will perform variously throughout both days. The fashion show will showcase clothing from several companies like Club Monaco, J.C. Penney and Steve Madden. Dawn Bankert, the regional Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Macerich, said they wanted to honor Hispanic diversity and culture and gear the event towards its large Hispanic shopping base. According to Bankert, 36 percent of people who go to shopping centers owned by Macerich are of Hispanic origin. “We feel that it is relevant given the time period and hopefully it will enhance the shopping experience at Queens Center,” she said. Bankert said the company was brainstorming ideas of what event they can put on their east coast properties as it is different for the shopping market in the western United States. Harlow, who has been a performer for more than 50 years and has produced over 300 albums while singing in 50 of his own albums, said it is important to remember Hispanic culture especially with more Latin people moving to the United States each year. “Pretty soon, it’ll be a bilingual town,” Harlow said. Bankert said the performances will be kept to about 15-20 minutes each to keep the traffic in the shopping center moving throughout the day. She added their plan is to make it an annual event

at Queens Center and host similar events in their other properties if it is successful. The event will run from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday while on Sunday, it will begin at 11 a.m. and finish at 8 p.m. The performances will begin at the top of every hour from noon until 8 p.m. on Saturday and noon until 7 p.m. on Sunday.

The Louis Armstrong Museum Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary BY TRIshA sAkhuJA

Staff Writer

Join the party at the Louis Armstrong Museum as it celebrates its 10 year anniversary on Oct. 15, starting at 6 p.m. Known as the founding father of jazz, Louis Armstrong’s legacy will be celebrated with a special performance by The Hot Sardines. The menu for the anniversary bash will include Creole creations based on Louis’ own recipes, prepared by the Cooking Channel’s Tamara Reynolds, a self taught cook and the owner of Van Alst Kitchen. The museum will also unveil Louis Armstrong’s life mask, which has been recently restored and will be on display for the first time in the museum’s history. “The life mask of Louis Armstrong, made in the 1950s, captures broad

scars on his lips, heavy bags under his eyes and deep creases on his forehead,” said David Reese, the museum’s curator. “Viewing this plaster portrait is almost like seeing Louis’ real face, and it reveals his character as no other image can.” The Louis Armstrong House Museum’s anniversary bash will be held in the Armstrong garden at 34-56 107th St. Tickets ranging from $30, $45 and $100, include beer and wine, but must be purchased in advance. The $45 ticket includes a limited-edition commemorative print of Louis Armstrong and $100 ticket includes the print plus a one-year museum membership. Tickets can be purchased online at LouisArmstrongHouse.org. For more information, call the Louis Armstrong House Museum at (718) 478-8274. Reach Trisha Sakhuja at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128, tsakhuja@queenstribune.com, or @Tsakhuja13.

Rao even performed for the staff. See video of the interview and her performance at the revamped Queenstribune.com.

'Linsanity' Returns To New York City A documentary showcasing the craziness of “Linsanity” appeared on the big screen last week. The popularity of former New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin was shown in a biographical movie entitled “Linsanity: The Jeremy Lin Story.” Two years ago, Lin burst onto the scene, coming off the bench and becoming a prominent player on the team that year. His run was highlighted by scoring 38 points against the Los Angeles Lakers and hitting a game-winning three pointer against the Toronto Raptors. Many fans, especially those of Asian descent because of Lin’s

Asian-American background, flocked to Madison Square Garden and restaurants and bars to watch him play and “Linsanity” engulfed New York City in 2012, including the heavily-Asian Flushing. Although many in New York barely pay mind to Lin anymore, he is no longer on the team as the Knicks declined to match an offer sheet made by the Houston Rockets, they can revisit that time by watching the movie. Comptroller John Liu, a Flushing resident, has sent out emails promoting the movie and his appearance at its premiere last week in Manhattan. We guess Liu is grasping for some attention since his bid for

Wi-Fi Coming to LIC To ensure the City grows as a global hub of technology and innovation, Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to a leave a techsavvy legacy behind, by launching free public wireless networks in certain parts of the five boroughs, in collaboration with the New York City Economic Development Corporation. One of the 10 commercial districts chosen is the warehouseturned-tech-savvy-hub of Queens, Long Island City. In addition to the launch of free public networks, WiredNYC will spearhead a program that consists of a rating platform that evaluates the broadband connectivity and infrastructure of office buildings. The program will create a “LEED for broadband’ certification to give businesses information about a building’s connectivity. It also allows landlords to better market a building’s positives. Long Island City Partnership, along with GOWEX, will install Smart Points to the corridors of Queens Plaza, Jackson Avenue and Vernon Boulevard. The first informational session will be held on Oct. 16 from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Munducatis Rustica. For more information, email Dana Frankel at dfrankel@licpartnership.org. We at QConf are excited to see Queens on the map of the Smart Points initiative. With our newly-launched, revamped website (make sure to check out Queenstribune.com), the Wi-Fi initiative means that more folks will be able to check out our site wherever they are!

Mayor was unsuccessful last month. We also wonder about all the hoopla around Lin back then, since he has turned out to be an above-average player at best.

Not 'Bad' News Good news “Breaking Bad” fans. If you still have the “Breaking Bad” blues after September’s series finale, you can come relive your favorite moments at the Museum of Moving Image. The exhibit dedicated to AMC’s hit show will be open at the Astoria museum through Oct. 27. The museum had a sold-out gathering for the finale on Sept. 29. Museum admission is $12 for adults and $9 for senior and students. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Museum of Moving Image is located at 36-01 35th Ave., Astoria. For more information about the exhibit or the museum, call (718) 7776888.

When Anthony Mavilia creates art, he prefers to use media like charcoal and acrylics. The artist said that charcoal is “almost an extension of the hand.” Given how ingrained art is in his life, it comes as no surprise that he would prefer a medium that extends that dedication. Ever since he was young, Mavilia has spent his time drawing or painting whatever caught his eye, even to the point where it got him in trouble in the classroom. But that enthusiasm paid off in the long run, as he pursued his interests through college. “I remember my parents were proud of what I did and invited people to see my work,” he said “Eventually, I began taking classes at Parsons New School and the Art Students League.” In 1991, Mavilia joined Abingdon Square Painters, an organization that offers a space where artists can work freely in any style they choose. While originally located in Manhattan, it ran into financial trouble due to rising rent in the late 2000s. Mavilia spearheaded a plan to move the studio to Long Island City. He is now the director of Abingdon Square Painters. When it comes to art, Mavilia’s work is abstract and mood-setting, a preference that evolved over time. Originally, he drew and painted in a realistic style, but grew to appreciate and take inspira-

tion from the abstract. “I also looked at and read about Asian art. In those cultures, depictions of living things like bamboo and plum trees stand in for human values like flexibility and beauty under adversity,” he said. “My vine drawings are a way of dealing with the way that society coerces individuals to conform to its values and restrictions and in some cases, suffocates individual aspirations.” His work depicting nature was inspired by his own home setting, as he lives in a Kew Gardens complex situated in Forest Park. He is very involved in the community’s gardening. “Most of the values that apply to art - line, color, texture etc. - apply to a garden, with the added complexity that it is a three dimensional space which changes over time,” Mavilia said. For those who wish to pursue art as well, Mavilia recommends that they take a good foundation course that will expose them to essential elements such as composition, value, color theory and more. “Drawing is essential as is daily practice, whether in a sketch book or at the easel or table,” he said. “It is also important to look at other art, both contemporary and historic, to inform one's taste and expand one's notion of what is possible in art.”
