Queens Deadline

By STEVEN J. FERRARICity Counci l Speaker Christ ine

Quinn (D-Manhattan) officially kickedoff her bid for Mayor with a tour of allfive boroughs on Sunday, including awalk down Austin Street in Forest Hills.

The Queens neighborhood wasQuinn’s third stop of the day, startingher tour in Manhattan and then travel-ling to the Bronx. At each location,throngs of supporters followed theSpeaker as she made stops to greetpeople on the street and visit with localbusinesses.

While speaking with pedestrians onAustin Street, Quinn stressed that shehoped for a substantive campaign in thecoming months.

“I hope a lot of issues rise to the top,”she said. “I hope this race is aboutissues.”

One issue that was brought to theforefront was the subject of term limits,raised by an angry voter at the start ofher walk in Forest Hills.

While she addressed reporters,Herbert Goldman, who said he had justhappened upon the candidate on hisway to the grocery store, attempted tointerrupt Quinn. Goldman demandedan answer on why Quinn had led theCity Council to allow Mayor MikeBloomberg to run for a third term.

“You don’t give a damn about ourelection vote,” Goldman told Quinn.

Goldman said he liked Bloomberg,but that he was very disappointed theMayor ran for a third term in 2009.

“What is he, a king or something?”he asked.

After she addressed the press, Quinnwalked over to Goldman to speak to himabout his issues. Surrounded by a throngof press and Quinn supporters, Goldmanstood his ground, pulling his hand backfrom Quinn as she attempted to hold it.

Goldman said that while he appreci-

Quinn Kicks Off Campaign With Forest Hills Stopated Quinn’s attempt tospeak to him about the issue,it did nothing to change hismind about her candidacy.

“I’m not voting for her,”he said. “I’ll find someone tovote for, but it won’t be her.”

After the encounter withGoldman, Quinn continuedon her way. The Speakersaid she understood thatsome people were going todislike the decisions she hasmade in her position.

“I’m me and hopefullymore people will like thatthan not like it,” she said.

When asked her opinionof Bloomberg, Quinn de-flected by focusing on the2013 Mayoral race.

“I don’t think he’s run-ning,” she said.

The 2013 race for Mayor has at-tracted a long list of candidates seek-ing the seat. According to a recentNY1/Marist College poll, Quinn leadsthe crowded field of Democrats, with37 percent of registered Democratssupporting her. Former City Comp-troller Bil l Thompson trails in secondwith 13 percent and Public AdvocateBil l de Blasio has 12 percent. Round-ing out the field are current Comptrol-ler John Liu and former BrooklynCouncilman Sal Albanese. The pollreported that 26 percent of voters wereundecided.

On the Republican side, former MTAhead Joe Lhota leads the field with 20percent, while 55 percent of Republicanvoters were undecided.

The Mayoral primary is scheduled forSept. 10.

By LUIS GRONDADespite protests from parents and

community activists, the Panel forEducational Policy voted on March 11to approve a plan that would phase-outor co-locate several schools in the Cityand many in Queens.

The decis ion means that twoQueens schools – and many othersthroughout the City – will soon nolonger exist, while other area schoolswill have new inhabitants come thenew school year.

Two schools based in CambriaHeights - Law, Government and Com-munity Service High School and Busi-ness, Computer Applications and En-trepreneurship High School – will bephased out beginning next year.

Other Queens schools that will seechanges are Newtown High School in

Two Queens Schools Set To ShutterElmhurst and Flushing High School.Those two will have new schools locatedin its facilities.

At Monday night’s meeting, parentsand teachers shouted and jeered atSchools Chancellor Dennis Walcott andanyone else representing the Board ofEducation whenever they spoke.

Explaining why he supports the plan,Walcott said that while it is not an easydecision to make regarding whichschools are phased-out, he said that it isone that falls on his shoulders and it willbenefit those institutions in the future.

“We understand the anger, the reac-tion on the part of the parents, teachersand community as far as phasing out aninstitution that they’re very close to,”Walcott said, as he was met with a loudchorus of boos from the audience.

Before the vote, many people com-

mented on the proposals that urged thePEP to pass a moratorium that wouldfreeze school closures and co-locationsuntil each school that is on one of theselists gets more of an opportunity tocomment on what could happen tothem.

One of many opposed to the closureswas United Federation of Teachers sec-retary Michael Mendel, who said that theDOE does not care about how the chil-dren feel when they want to makechanges like the one proposed.

“When the history of education iswritten for this decade, it’s going to bethe black hole of education,” Mendelsaid. “No administration has hurt chil-dren more than you.”

Ultimately, the moratorium was voteddown by the panel by a 7-4 vote, whichpaved the way to approve the co-loca-

tions and phase-outs later that meet-ing.

Dymtro Fedkowskyj, the Queensrepresentative on the panel and one ofthe co-sponsors of the moratorium, saidthat he was disappointed that it wasvoted down, because the schools thatthe DOE said are failing began to showsigns of improvement this year. Headded that more time was needed to fixwhatever problems those schools had.

He also said that while he knewbeforehand that it was an uphill battleto get the resolution passed, they feltthat this issue needed attention.

“We needed to bring a spotlight towha t ou r commun i t y des i r e s , ”Fedkowskyj said.

By JOE MARVILLIA last minute decision by the New

York State Supreme Court overturnedthe City’s forthcoming soda restrictions;only hours before it was due to go intoeffect.

State Supreme Court Judge MiltonTing l ing dec lared Mayor Michae lBloomberg’s restriction of sugary drinkswith more than 16 ounces as invalid onMarch 11, the day before the rulingwould start to apply to businessesthroughout the City.

Tingling stated that Bloomberg ex-ceeded his authority when he bypassedthe City Council and put the issue in thehands of the Board of Health, whosepanel members were appointed byBloomberg. The judge said that the banwould “not only violate the separationof powers doctrine, it would eviscerateit.”

In addition to the mayor overreach-ing in his power, Tingling slammed theregulations as “fraught with arbitraryand capricious consequences,” mention-ing that the enforcement would be un-even within a single block.

The restraint would have affectedrestaurants, mobile food carts, delisand concessions at movie theaters, sta-diums or arenas within the five bor-oughs. The exceptions to the rule wouldhave been state-managed supermarketsand convenience stores, such as 7-Eleven.

Tingling also said that the regula-

Judge Overturns Mayor’s Soda Ban

tions ignore other beverages with higherconcentrations of sugar sweeteners andcalories. Since the ban also does notlimit customers from getting refills, therule is essentially “gutted.”

Mayor Bloomberg strongly disagreedwith the decisions, believing that theregulations would help to save lives.

“We have a responsibility as humanbeings to do something, to save eachother, to save the lives of ourselves, ourfamilies, our friends, and all of the restof the people that live on God’s planet,”

he said. “We’re confident that today’sdecision will ultimately be reversed.”

President and CEO of The MountSinai Medical Center, Kenneth Davis,also reiterated his support for the sugarydrinks constraints.

“It is regrettable that in a city wheretwo-thirds of all adults are overweight orobese, and one in five children is over-weight, we cannot move forward withinnovative measures aimed at primaryprevention,” he said.

Many officials and business associa-tions praised the judge’s ruling.

“I hope the Mayor will now chooseto focus his time and effort on morepressing matters,” State Sen. TonyAvella (D-Bayside) said. “As residentsreceive less and less city services, theyneed initiatives that produce real, tan-gible results, not gimmicks like thesoda ban.”

“I will work with my colleagues in theCity Council to make sure a law like thisnever passes again,” Councilman DanHalloran (R-Whitestone) said. “Our smallbusinesses are the engine that drives oureconomy. This soda ban is like the gov-ernment putting sugar in the gas tank.”

The Queens Economic DevelopmentCorporation was pleased with the resultas well, stating it would be good forbusiness.

“Mayor Bloomberg’s ban would havebeen bad for small businesses, probablyleading to job losses, because most largesoda consumers buy the product from

their local delis and mobile food carts,”Director of Public Relations Rob MacKaysaid. “I don’t like the fact that MayorBloomberg tried to implement this banthrough a Board of Health decree. Heshould have gone through the City Coun-cil like other laws.”

The Bayside BID was not prepared torest though, stating that they will con-tinue to educate businesses about thesoda restrictions in case the ruling issuccessfully appealed.

“We are just focusing our positionthat the Dept. of Health educate busi-nesses about the soda ban,” ExecutiveDirector Lyle Sclair said. “If anything,we hope that they take this time to reachout to businesses just in case they aresuccessful in their appeal.”

The judge’s decision came just hoursafter Halloran held a press conference inBayside, protesting the ban. He wasjoined by Sclair and small business own-ers, some who were very upset with therestrictions.

“If you want to educate people andtell them the sugar’s no good for them,that’s fine. But to ban the two-liter bottleis absolutely ridiculous,” James Coady,whose family owns Cascarino’s restau-rants throughout Queens, said. “I tellany kids that work for me to not open upa business in New York. It’s not worthit anymore.”

By LUIS GRONDAThe City Parks Dept. has boosted its

manpower, announcing last week that itwill hire 81 new park enforcement offic-ers to patrol green spaces in Queens andthroughout the City.

The hires serve as good news to manywho have been advocating for moreparks officers.

The number of officers for parks hasdwindled in recent years, leaving manymajor parks with few patrolling offic-ers.

Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) was elated about the new hiresand hopes that the Parks Dept. willallocate a fair amount of the new work-ers to patrol parks in Queens, addingthat last summer, only one PEP officerwas assigned to Queens.

“Crime is rising in our parks, and ahandful of officers to keep an entireborough of parkland safe just won’t cutit,” Vallone said in a statement. “I’mglad the City has finally decided to hiremore PEP officers, but we have to makesure Queens gets enough of them tokeep people safe.”

Geoffrey Croft, president of NewYork City Parks Advocates, said thatwhile it is great that more officers wil lbe added, how it wi l l ul t imately im-pact Queens is undetermined becauseit is unknown how many of the newhires wi l l be sent to the Borough. Headded that even with the addit ionsannounced, i t is st i l l a far numberfrom the early 1990s when around

Parks To Hire 81 Enforcement Officers450 PEP off icers kept an eye on theparks.

According to Arthur Pincus, assis-tant communications commissioner forthe Parks Dept., it has not been deter-mined exactly where the officers will beassigned but they believe that eachborough will get at least 10 of the newhires.

Mary Ann Carey, district manager ofCommunity Board 9, said that moreofficers are needed to patrol Forest Parkby foot and help out the 102nd Precinct,which monitors the green space as partof their command.

“We need the additional presence sothat people can feel safe,” she said,adding that they would especially like tosee an increased enforcement in thesummer when more people are using thepark and when the Bandshell hosts itssummer concerts.

Bob Holden, president of the Juni-per Park Civic Association, said hecannot get too excited about the newofficers until they know for sure howmany the Borough is getting. He saidthat hopes some are sent to patrol Juni-per Park as it is needed to curtail crimethat could happen there and make sure

Mayor Mike Bloomberg hoped to continue his legacy of promot-ing a healthy New York City with his proposed ban on selling large-sized sugary drinks. The ban was an attempt to address the growingproblem of obesity not just in the City, but throughout the country.The plan, however, was simply a cosmetic solution that did notaddress the larger issues, including a lack of exercise and personalchoices that each New Yorker must make.

The Mayor has stated his intention to appeal this week’s courtruling striking down the soda ban, but we believe that if he trulywants to address the issue of obesity, there are other avenues thatwould better serve his constituents.

Promote more outdoor activities, get children involved in physi-cal education in schools and educate your constituents on thedangers of consuming too much sugar, instead of forcing a capri-cious and seemingly arbitrary ban that affects small businessesthroughout the City.

While the ban on sugary drinks would have prevented restau-rants from selling a product containing more than 16 ounces, it didlittle to educate on the dangers of these drinks, nor did it preventa consumer from just getting a second drink to supplement.

Education is a key component to changing someone’s habits.Perhaps the Mayor needs an education on how to properly addressthis issue.

Just Say NoTo The Editor:

I do not understand what has hap-pened in the “City so nice they named ittwice.” When did this change happen?We used to be a city of people that stoodup for what was what and made no bonesabout it. Now here in Queens we haveour elected “representatives” (I use theterm lightly), selling out the very peoplethey swore to represent. There are threelarge projects undergoing public review,which would significantly sacrifice acre-age of parkland within Flushing Mead-ows Corona Park. Yet several electedofficials are on board with the develop-ers. They are in effect speaking for thedevelopers instead of their constituents.

They tell us that the theft being per-petrated upon all of us is exactly what weneed and want. City Council memberswhose communities are directly affectedby this theft, that this is a very goodthing. They speak of “public privatepartnerships.” They speak of thewretched conditions of Flushing Mead-ows Corona Park, yet they do not speak

of their incompetence, inability, or un-willingness to fund the very same park.They tell local business owners that theseprojects are a good deal. They do not tellthe local merchants that there will be noincrease in business. When you delveinto it, you find that every stadium hastheir own restaurants that cater to alltypes of clients and this one will be nodifferent. These stadiums are built ascities unto themselves, complete withpro shops, restaurants, fast food jointsand vending machines. They do not tellthese merchants that the added traffic,without added roads and parking, willonly force a crackdown on parking,possibly eliminating valued parking infront of their establishments. Thinkabout it, Northern Boulevard alreadyhas no parking westbound for the morn-ing rush hour, and no parking east-bound for the evening rush. What isgoing to happen on all the other streetswhen the roads become blocked?

Julissa Ferreras represents the dis-trict that will be impacted the most. Mostof her constituents use the park on adaily basis during the summer months.

They play soccer, cricket, and have pic-nics, festivals and a myriad of otherevents in this park. Yet, she is leadingthe charge to take the parkland away.Barry Grodenchick, Melinda Katz, LeroyComrie, Jose Peralta, have all remainedsilent on this issue. They want the seat ofBorough President, yet remain silentwhile the Borough gets robbed. This isnot acceptable!

Back to my initial comment “Whathas happened in the ‘City so nice theynamed it twice?’ When did this changehappen?” Are we to stand by and allowour park to be taken from us? Are we tostand by and allow our “Representa-tives” to represent the businesses in-stead of us? Has it become OK to acceptwhatever it is they give us because theydo it with a smile and a nod? They feigncare and concern when we get upset.

Just because you speak to us in a calmmanner in the pretense of being civil,does not mean you are being civil. Allow-ing the thieves to rob from us is not a verycivil thing! Wouldn’t you agree?

Enough already, the time is now. Weneed to call out our “Representatives” andhold them accountable for what they do.

Stand up, New York. This is ourpark! There is no deal to be made, ourfamilies; our children have rights to thispark. Not USTA, Not MLS, Not Mr.Wilpon and his Sterling-Related compa-nies! This is our land.

I urge you to call your representa-tives, and tell them “No to the land theftat Flushing Meadow Corona Park!”

In the March 7-13 issue, a writer sug-gested that the Queens Tribune have twoeditorial pages, with one for Republicans,alleging their philosophgy isn’t based onfacts. May I suggest an expansion of theidea, and have one for Democrats also,especially the left-wing faction of the party.Have a page wherein Democrats come upwith their latest spending ideas and socialprograms. As if the current crop doesn’thave enough Americans dependent upongovernment, and the rest of us taxed todeath, perhaps the Democrats can comeup with more programs to have govern-ment control and intrude into our lives.How about free iPhones, lessons in howto tie shoelaces and ballots printed inKikongo? That ought to generate severalthousand pages of legislation and make

more Americans think less for themselvesand instead have the government run theirlives. Plus by having all such comments onone page, those of us who believe in self-sufficiency and personal responsibilitywouldn’t have to waste our time readingthe liberal drivel.

Christine Quinn makes it official andis running for Mayor of one of our country’sgreatest cities. If elected she would be thefirst openly gay woman to hold this office.Now as for myself I have disagreed withsome of her actions on the City Councilbut I did like where she said, “I’m aboutkeeping NYC a place for the middle classto live and grow and a place that’s gonnahelp hard-working people get into themiddle class.” Well, if she does becomeMayor I hope she makes that happen. Nowfor that I wish her lots of luck.

By JOE MARVILLIA homeowner has gone to court

against a Homeowners’ Association overa stop work order on two houses heplanned to build on a corner, a proposalthat he was told violated covenant laws.

Charles Chang already had the struc-ture that stood at 35-05 163rd St. inMurray Hill demolished so he couldbegin construction on his two houseswhen he was hit with a stop-work orderf rom the B roadway -F l u sh ingHomeowners’ Association about twoyears ago. They stated in a letter that theconstruction violated Article 13 of theRickert-Finlay Covenant of 1906.

According to a letter the associationsent to Chang in 2010, this statute meansthat he would be unable to build twohouses unless he had 140-feet by 100-feet of space available, rather than the120-feet by 100-feet he has. The letteralso stated that the covenant laws takeprecedent over city zoning laws. TheCity building code says the lot size hasto be 60 by 100 per house, which wouldgive him enough room for two struc-tures.

None of the City agencies mentionedthe covenant laws to Chang when heapplied to build the houses.

“We have approval from everybody.You name it, we had it,” Chang said.“The Association was very uncoopera-tive.”

As a result, Chang has gone to thecourts to challenge the sanctity of the

New Houses Blocked By Covenant Lawscovenant laws so he can build again,stating that there are already violationswithin the zone where those old statutesapply. The area where the covenant lawsexist falls within most of the blocksbetween 156th Street and 168th Streetand between Northern Boulevard and33rd Avenue.

Among the violations are flat roofswhen the covenant says all roofs must bepitched and two-family homes wheresuch structures are not allowed.

“To our particular property, we’retrying to say the covenants don’t applydue to the development of the surround-ing area, where most of the homes havev io l a t ed t he covenan t , ” S imonRothkrug, Chang’s lawyer, said.

Vincent Nicolosi, the attorney forthe Homeowners’ Association, dis-agreed with Rothkrug’s statement.

“There’s about 1.6 percent on tech-nical violations. Some of that 1.6 per-cent violated it before the Homeowners’Association was even created,” Nicolosisaid. “Under no case law that I know ofwill a covenant be extinguished becauseof violations of three or four percent.”

The date of the trial is set for April 22.Chang hopes for a quick resolution tothe issue, as the multiple financial costson top of the more than $1 million hespent on the property is hurting himeconomically.

“It’s killing us. We have to pay taxeson the lot. We have to pay interest on themortgage. We have to maintain two

residencies,” he said. “The opposingparty’s been delaying and delaying.”

Chang mentioned that he tried towork with the Homeowners’ Associa-tion to appease them, to no avail.

“During litigation, we even went asfar to say ‘let us start construction on onehouse and then once the lawsuit’s settled,we can either appeal the construction ofthe second house or start the construc-tion of the second house,’” he said. “TheAssociation filed an injunction for us tobuild the first house, because we havethe lots divided in the DOB, but not withthe tax department.”

Nicolosi responded that Chang di-vided the lot into two 60 by 100 lots,which is not allowed under the cov-enant. He mentioned as well that heplans to write to the Dept. of Buildings

and make them aware of the covenant.“The Building Dept. inadvertently

approved plans that directly violate thecovenant,” he said. “The Building Dept.doesn’t know about covenants unlessit’s brought to their attention.”

“It’s a civil matter whether the courtswill uphold the zoning resolution ratherthan the restrictive covenant,” archi-tect Gerald Caliendo said. “If you’regoing to uphold a covenant, you up-hold it completely. If the covenant isoutdated, why would you uphold it?Zoning laws of the city of New Yorkwere put in place to protect people.That’s what they’re there for. That’swhat we follow.”

By STEVEN J. FERRARIThe rough cut of a film shot in

Queens will debut during an event thisweekend designed to raise money forpost-production work.

The film, titled “Street Choice,” fol-lows the lives of two childhood friendsfrom different backgrounds who growup taking separate paths based on theway they were raised. While one friendgets caught up with street gangs andsuccumbs to peer pressure, the othergoes to medical school and decides toreturn to his home to give back to hiscommunity.

The writer and director of the film,George Cox, said he wanted to create anurban tale that felt real to those whoexperienced similar situations growingup.

“We asked a lot of people at churchesand on the streets, what do you want tosee,” Cox said. “They said, ‘Mr. Cox, wewant to see something that’s real.”

After serving time in the Army dur-ing the Korean War, Cox came to NewYork City, following his sister to Brook-lyn before moving to Southeast Queens.He received a certificate from the filmschool at New York University and hasplayed bit parts in a number of films andTV shows, including “Serpico,” “DownTo Earth,” and “30 Rock.”

While principal photography on thefilm is completed and a rough cut isfinished, the filmmaker said the finalstep is to convert the film entirely to hi-

Queens Man Gives Back With New Filmdefinition. When he started filming sevenyears ago, HD was unavailable. To coverthe cost of the post-production work,and to submit the film to the MotionPicture Association of America for arating, Cox is holding a fundraiser thisweekend.

The event, which wil l include ascreening of the fi lm, along with cof-fee and desserts, wil l take place atAntun’s, 96-43 Springf ie ld Blvd.,Queens Vil lage, from 6 to 9 p.m. onMarch 17.

Cox said he expects the film to get anR rating from the MPAA because of thelanguage featured in the film, so theevent is for adults only.

“Right now, it’s only for adults,” hesaid. “We don’t want to offend any-body.”

Cox said he spent the last seven yearsworking on the film, which was shot inQueens locations including St. Albans,and once the film is complete, he hopesto get “Street Choice” on the festivalcircuit. Earlier this year, the film wasscreened at the San Diego Black FilmFestival.

“They gave us a great review,” Coxsaid.

The filmmaker noted that each of thecomment sheets he received for his 91-minute film came back marked eitherexcellent or good. He said he was en-couraged by the reception the film re-ceived at the festival.

Once work on “Street Choice” is

finished, Cox, who turns 80 this year,said he wanted to do another film, andprovide jobs for other graduates fromNYU’s film school.

“We’ve got to help each other,” hesaid.

Tickets for the March 17 event cost$45 in advance. The event will include

a screening of the film, coffee and des-sert. Cox said the film’s cast will also bein attendance.

By STEVEN J. FERRARIFormer Asssemblyman Jimmy Meng,

the father of U.S. Rep. Grace Meng, wassentenced to one month in prison onMarch 12, after he pled guilty to wirefraud in Brooklyn federal court.

While he only served one term in theState Assembly, Meng was consideredan influential person in the Asian com-munity. He was arrested in July after heaccepted $80,000 that he claimed hewould use to bribe prosecutors in theManhattan District Attorney’s office.However, Meng made no attempt tofollow through on the promise.

“Jimmy Meng held himself out as apower broker, able to buy and sell jus-tice,” U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said.“In reality, he was a swindler who triedto obtain $80,000 for a nonexistentbribery scheme.”

Jimmy Meng GetsMonth In Prison

In addition to the one month inprison, Meng was fined $30,000 andwas sentenced to four months of homeconfinement and 750 hours of commu-nity service. He is set to begin his prisonterm on May 3.

After the sentence was announced,Meng’s daughter, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng,said she looked forward to the opportu-nity to move on from this situation.

“I love my father very much. He madeno excuses for his actions, took full re-sponsibility for his behavior and acceptedthe consequences,” she said. “Hopefullywe can put this difficult chapter in ourlives behind us so that he can be backwith his family and grandchildren, andmove on to the next stage of his life.”

Stavisky CelebratesWomen’s HistoryMonth

State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flush-ing) reminds New Yorkers that Marchis Women’s History Month, an oppor-tunity to reflect on how women haveshaped society, government and cul-ture as well as to raise awareness aboutthe inequalities that remain.

Stavisky pointed out that this monthis an opportunity for volunteers tohelp women in the community whilealso refocusing efforts to ensure equalpay for equal work and the protectionof women’s health rights.

“As the first woman from Queenselected to the State Senate, I have apersonal stake in remembering thewomen leaders who paved the way,”Stavisky said. “Though we should bethankful for their work and sacrificeevery day, I welcome the opportunityto spend the month of March beingparticularly aware of the role of womenin our society, and thankful that it isgreater now than it has ever been.”

The Senator noted that Susan B.Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stantonformed the National Woman SuffrageAssociation in New York in 1869 to

fight for a woman’s right to participatein American democracy. The women’ssuffrage movement gained its ultimatemomentum at the Seneca Falls Con-vention, when Lucretia Mott spoke tothose who had journeyed to New Yorkin search of equality and culminated inthe ratification of the 19th Amend-ment to the U.S. Constitution, whichestablished the right of women to vote.

“New York has played a pivotal rolein women’s history, but there is muchmore to be done. This Women’s His-tory Month, the Senate must stop stall-ing and pass the Reproductive HealthAct, so that all women can have accessto the services they need,” Staviskysaid.

Rehab TechnologyAct Reintroduced

U.S. Reps. Joseph Crowley (D-Jack-son Heights) and Jim Sensenbrenner(R-Wis.) recently announced the rein-troduction of the Ensuring Access toQuality Complex Rehabilitation Tech-nology Ace (H.R. 942), legislation thathelps ensure patients with disabilities

or severe medical conditions are able toaccess the highly-specialized medicalequipment that meets their needs andhelps improve their day-to-day lives.

The bill establishes a distinct Medi-care benefit category for complex re-habilitation technology products, suchas specialized power wheelchairs andadaptive seating systems. This wouldallow the Centers for Medicare andMedicaid Services to better target theirpayment and coverage policies to thisunique type of equipment, by adoptinghigher quality standards for suppliers,improving oversight to prevent fraudand abuse, and expanding eligibilitycriteria for beneficiaries to access theseproducts.

“For people with disabilities or othermedical conditions, complex rehabili -tation technology products aren’t aluxury, they’re a necessity,” Crowleysaid. “Our legislation will help ensuremore patients can access the high-quality products and services they needto help them lead a better, more inde-pendent life. And, it puts forward much-needed quality standards and consumerprotections, making the Medicare pro-gram stronger for individuals and sup-pliers as a result.”

The bill includes provisions to en-sure these items are being prescribedappropriately to prevent fraud andabuse, including requiring that a licensedphysical or occupational therapist evalu-ate the patient, increased quality stan-dards for suppliers of these products,and a supplier accreditation process toensure compliance with these enhancedquality standards. The bill will also re-move barriers that beneficiaries cur-rently face in obtaining this equipment;for example, by making it easier forpatients in skilled nursing facilities totransition to home or community care.

OPWDD Cuts RestoredAssemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-

Ozone Park) announced that the As-sembly restored in its 2013-14 budgetproposal the funding cuts to the Officefor People with Developmental Dis-abilities (OPWDD) community basedservices.

“The services offered by OPWDDare not luxuries but integral servicesthat people depend on every day oftheir lives. These programs dramati-cally improve the lives of people withspecial needs,” said AssemblymanGoldfeder. “The Assembly’s fundingrestoration will allow for these essen-tial services to continue especially topeople still struggling in the aftermathof hurricane Sandy.”

Not-for-profit, community basedservices provide support to more than80 percent of people with develop-mental disabilities, and have alreadysustained more than $350 million incuts over the past few years. The As-sembly budget proposal restores $120million to not-for-profit organizationsthat work with individuals with devel-

opmental disabilities. Further, the As-sembly budget provides an additional$20 million to maintain state-operatedmen ta l hea l t h s e r v i c e s , no t edGoldfeder.

“On beha l f o f e ve r yone a tHeartShare, we thank AssemblymanPhil Goldfeder and his colleagues inthe Assembly for their support of abol-ishing the 6 percent cut,” said WilliamR. Guarinello, President and CEO ofHeartShare a non profit organizationthat offers a variety of programs forindividuals with developmental disabili-ties, as well as services for childrenand families. “A cut of this magnitudewould be devastating to the individualswe serve and it would trigger pay cutsto a staff that puts so much into thequality of services we have in the de-velopmental disabilities field. We urgeAssemblymember Goldfeder and allAssemblymembers to keep up the fightin the final budget negotiations.”

Israel Applauds GrantsU.S. Rep Steve Israel (D-Melville)

applauded New York State for includ-ing grants for small businesses in itsaction plan for federal Sandy Aidthrough the Dept. of Housing and Ur-ban Development (HUD). Israel alsoencouraged HUD to quickly approveNew York State’s action plan, so thefunds can be distributed to those busi-nesses that need it most.

As part of the $50 billion Sandy Aidpackage that was signed into law inlate January, $16 billion was allocatedfor Community Development BlockGrant (CDBG) Disaster Recovery fund-ing. This type of funding gives grant-ees significant flexibility in how best touse their funds to meet the greatestunmet needs.

The funding is allocated in stages toindividual states and localities, whichmust then submit an action plan to thedetail how the funds will be used spe-cifically. On Feb. 6, HUD announcedNew York State would be allocatedabout $1.7 billion in its first round ofCDBG funding. This week, New YorkState submitted its action plan detail-ing how funds will be used, which willnow be posted for a seven day publiccomment period. Once HUD approvesthe plan, funds can be distributed, sobusinesses like Over the Bridge canget the financial help they need withphysical repairs and losses resultingfrom Sandy damage.

“I am pleased to hear that New YorkState plans to include much-needed helpto struggling small businesses in its planfor administering federal Sandy recov-ery funding,” Israel said. “This will helpour communities and local small busi-nesses get back on their feet and onceagain thrive. It’s been more than fourmonths since the storm hit, and it’stime these businesses get the help theyneed. I encourage HUD to approveNew York State’s action plan as soonas possible.”

Legislative Update


Queens This Week

Kim, StaviskyIntroduce Bill

A bill to mandate the collection ofspecific Asian American demographicdata was introduced this month in boththe State Senate and State Assembly.

The legislation, numbered S2348and A1186 in their respective branches,was created by State Sen. Toby Stavisky(D-Flushing) and Assemblyman Ron Kim(D-Flushing). Its purpose is to breakdown the Asian population from just ageneral heading to a more detailed list-ing of different demographics.

Rather than lumping all the diverseAsian groups in New York under thelabel of “Asian” or “Other,” there wouldbe 19 Asian American groups and fivePacific Islander groups listed. The billleaves room for more to be added at afuture date.

“The Asian American community isnot a homogenous community. It’s verydifferent and their needs are different,”Stavisky said. “‘Other’ to me meansabsolutely nothing. It sounds like it’sstrictly an administrative method of seg-regating into different categories. Youwant to know how something is goingto affect these individual parts of theentire group we call Asian Americans.”

Kim and Stavisky said the bill wouldapply first and foremost to the five or sixlargest City and State agencies, such asthe Dept. of Labor, the Dept. of Healthand Dept. of Motor Vehicles. By break-ing down the Asian American popula-tion into many different categories, itwill help each part of the community getthe resources they need, rather thanhaving them spread out among the gen-eral Asian population.

“It’s not fair to the Asian-Americancommunity, especially when that com-munity has the fastest growing popula-tion in the entire country. We need theright data; otherwise these nonprofitscannot do their job,” Kim said, callingthe issue “the need to collect data in aneffective way so that Asian Americangroups and programs can defend theirbudgetary needs at the state level.”

The legislation was modeled after theway California breaks down its Asiandemographic. At the moment, it is theonly state that does so.

Joining the two elected officials were

members of the Coalition of AsianAmerican Children and Families, theNew York Asian Women’s Center andthe Shield Institute.

“In New York State, there are 1.6million residents that identify as Asian,”the CACF representative said. “Weshould be making sure we’re a model forother states with growing Asian Ameri-can populations.”

“Asian-Americans comprise 13 per-cent of the population and its growingand its growing fast,” added the NYAWCrepresentative. “I feel like legislationsuch as this directly affects the kind ofservices Asian Americans can accessand we as service providers really needthis piece of legislation and the disag-gregated data to advocate for fundingfor our services.”

“Without the proper data, what we’relooking at when we look at economicdivide or health-based needs is the factthat everyone’s lumped into one cat-egory,” the Shield representative said.“We can’t do any strategic planning onthe idea of language and cultural compe-tency when we don’t know what’s there.”

The bill is currently in committee,though Kim said he is hopeful it willmove forward shortly. It has been co-sponsored in the Assembly by nine mem-bers, including Queens officials NilyRozic (D-Hillcrest), David Weprin (D-Fresh Meadows), Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) and Vivian Cook (D-Jamaica).

Med Facility For 9/11First Responders

First responders affected by the eventsof 9/11 will now have a larger facilityavailable to them for necessary treat-ments.

North Shore-LIJ unveiled a newmedical facility in Rego Park on March11 that will serve personnel who went toGround Zero during the attacks.

The 3,600-square-foot center, calledthe Queens Clinical Center for Excel-lence, was relocated from a smaller spacein Flushing and was funded by the JamesZadroga 9/11 Health and Compensa-

tion Act, which provided $3.85 millionin total.

Michael Dowling, president and CEOof North Shore-LIJ, said the facility willprovide both physical and mental ser-vices to its patients at a more convenientlocation. The new site will also havemore rooms and a larger staff to attendto patient needs and run the center on adaily basis.

Dr. Jacqueline Morine, who serves asdirector of the medical facility, said theyhave gotten to know first respondersfrom the NYPD, FDNY, constructionworkers and volunteers over the yearsand this new center will be betterequipped to help them with whateverthey need.

“When they went down there, theywere thinking about, ‘what can I do tohelp, how can I provide my services?’”she said. “Many of them worked hoursand hours, they weren’t thinking aboutthemselves.”

Lorelei Sander, a retired NYPD of-ficer, 9/11 first responder and a Flushingresident, developed a breathing problem12 days after being at Ground Zero help-ing out any way that she could. Since thattime, she developed gastroesophagealdisease, or GERD, as well as sinus swell-ing/irritation and a persistent cough.

She had been getting treatment atMount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, butthis new location, although smaller, willallow her to get more personalized treat-ment than she was getting before.

According to Dr. Morine, the centeris funded through 2016. While theyhope to get more funding in the future,for now, they have enough to run thecenter and treat their patients.

Brain Fuel May Ease Alzheimer’s SymptomsWhether a patient faces a simple

health problem, such as a head cold,or one as complex as Alzheimer’sdisease, relieving the symptoms isoften as important as resolving theissue itself. Yet for the more thanfive million Americans affectedby Alzheimer’s, treating thesymptoms is even morevital.

Some of the earlysigns of Alzheimer’s in-clude memory loss thatdisrupts daily life, moodand personality changes,and difficulty solvingotherwise simple dailytasks.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the UnitedStates, according to the Alzheimer’sAssociation. Of the top 10 causes ofdeath, it is the only one for whichthere is no cure or preventive mea-sure. However, research suggests thataddressing one early facet of thedisease - decreased blood sugar inbrain cells, also known as diminishedcerebral glucose metabolism(DCGM) - may help relieve symp-toms for certain people with mild tomoderate Alzheimer’s.

In a healthy brain, glucose is theprimary energy source. A brain af-fected by Alzheimer’s doesn’t pro-cess glucose into energy as efficientlyas a healthy brain.

“Unlike other cells in the bodythat can metabolize fats as fuel, braincells rely on glucose (sugar) for theirprimary energy source,” said Dr. Ri-chard S. Isaacson, associate profes-sor of clinical neurology and vice

chair of education at the Uni-versity of Miami’s Miller

School of Medicine.“One aspect ofAlzheimer’s is that ithinders the brain’sability to use glucose,and this significantlyaffects brain func-

tion.”“DCGM is an early fea-

ture of Alzheimer’s disease,represented by region-specific de-clines in brain glucose - or energy -metabolism,” Isaacson said. “DCGMcorrelates with both the cognitivedecline and the pathology associatedwith Alzheimer’s. Research suggeststhat addressing DCGM may help miti-gate symptoms for some patients.”

Providing brain cells with an al-ternative energy source may helpease the effects of DCGM, while en-hancing memory and cognitive func-tion in Alzheimer’s patients. Oneprescription-only medical food aimsat helping Alzheimer’s patients byaddressing DCGM - Axona by Accera,Inc.

The easy-to-mix, once-daily drinkis currently the only prescription

therapy for patients with mild tomoderate Alzheimer’s that ad-dresses the link between the brain’sinability to process and use glu-cose with the degenerative symp-toms of Alzheimer’s by providingthe brain with an alternative en-ergy source. The liver digests andmetabolizes Axona to produce thenaturally occurring compounds -ketones - that the brain can use asan alternative energy source. Pa-tients or caregivers mix the pow-der with other liquids or foods andtake it once a day in conjunctionwith commonly prescribedAlzheimer’s medications.

“More research is necessary todetermine the exact reasons whyDCGM can have profound effectson cognition over the long term,”Isaacson said. “When blood glu-cose drops rapidly, significant de-cline in cognitive function occursand may be accompanied by con-fusion, coma and even braindeath.”

While Axona is not a cure forAlzheimer’s, it can help some pa-tients mitigate the symptoms of thedisease. Doctors and caregivers ofpatients using Axona have reportedpatients appear more alert and en-gaged in daily activities and conver-sations.

“If you or a family member expe-rience symptoms such as poor short-

term memory, changes in behaviorand difficulty with language, see yourdoctor for a full evaluation,” saidIsaacson.

Treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s isvital to long-term health with the disease.

Numerous factors impact asenior’s ability to live indepen-dently, such as health and memoryproblems, mobility issues, and carecoordination concerns. Often over-looked is the fact that one quarterof all nursing home admissions arethe result of poor medication ad-herence.

Representing a loss of indepen-dence, being placed in a nursinghome is a difficult milestone for bothseniors and their families. It is alsocostly for seniors, their families andthe health care system. The cost of asingle room in a nursing home aver-ages more than $200 per day andclose to $200 billion for all Ameri-cans annually. About 62 percent ofthis cost in the United States is as-sumed by public, taxpayer-financedsources such as Medicaid and Medi-care.

Almost half of seniors aged 65and older take at least five differentprescription drugs regularly, and onein four take between 10 and 19 pillseach day according to data compiledby Kelton Research. In addition,more than half of seniors admit tonot taking their medications as di-rected, and the adherence rate de-creases as the number of daily medi-cations prescribed increases.

“For seniors, taking one pill a day

is manageable, however the complex-ity of taking multiple medicationseach with its own set of instructions,represents a real challenge that im-pacts their health and independence,said Ian Salditch, CEO of Medicine-On-Time. “However, the difficultiesassociated with taking multiple medi-cations can effectively be addressedthrough customized prescriptionpackaging.”

Salditch’s company developedMedicine-On-Time, where local phar-macists sort and organize medica-tions into personalized pill cups la-beled with the day, date and time totake them. Pharmacists provide allthe pill cups to the patient organizedinto colorful calendar cards. It’s con-venient, easy-to-use and, most im-portantly, proven effective to helppeople maintain independence andenjoy better health. A study releasedin the American Journal of GeriatricPharmacotherapy found that seniorsusing Medicine-On-Time were 66percent less likely to be admitted toa nursing home.

proposed soccer stadium and an en-tertainment and retail complex sur-rounding Citi Field because of theloss of parkland the proposals wouldcause.

The Rev. Darrel DeCosta, pastorof St. Paul the Apostle Church inCorona, said many members of hiscongregation use the park. Theseproposals, he said, would take thataway from them.

“We need to hear the voice of thecommunity,” he said. “It’s not justabout profit, it’s also about nourish-ing the soul of the community.”

Economic IssuesThe loss of parkland was just one

of the many issues the FairnessCoalition raised in a recently-re-

leased report, titled “Double Fault.”Officials expressed disappointmentwith the USTA over the tax breaksthe City has provided to the facilitywith minimal returns to the surround-ing communities.

Theo Oshiro of Make the RoadNY stressed that many of the visi-tors who attend the annual US Openin August do not visit local establish-ments around the center.

“There’s really no lasting socio-economic change from theseevents,” Oshiro said. “Folks rarelyuse the businesses around the ten-nis center.”

While the USTA has also receivedvarious tax breaks and subsidies,the coalition noted that most of theUSTA’s high-paying jobs are located

in the organization’s head-quarters in Westchester.

“It’s outrageous that thatis allowed to happen,” Coun-cilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) said.

USTA RespondsIn the wake of the Fair-

ness Coalition’s report, theUSTA released a statementarguing that the project hasreceived “strong support”from area businesses andthe surrounding communi-ties.

“The deceitful accusa-tions … aim to discredit theUSTA’s proposed enhance-ment plan for the Billie JeanKing National Tennis Center,”the statement read.

The statement arguesthat the tennis center is opendaily to the general public

Joel Martinez, a member of Make the Road NY,discusses his opposition to the USTA’s proposedexpansion during a press conference last week.

Under the USTA’s expansion proposal, Louis Armstrong Stadium willbe rebuilt in the same location.

and even welcomes schools commu-nity tennis programs throughout theyear. While members of the FairnessCoalition stated that hourly rates touse the courts were out of line withwhat residents of the surroundingcommunity were capable of paying,the USTA said that was untrue.

“The vast majority of NTC patronsaccess courts at fees well below thelisted rates,” the organization said ina statement. “The USTA sponsorsnumerous programs and campswhose participants get deeply dis-counted or free court time.”

The USTA also addressed theclaim that taxpayers have providedmore than $320 million in City bondsfor construction, noting that the or-ganization has repaid the bonds withinterest of more than $132 million.

“Since 1997, the USTA has in-vested millions of its own funds intothe NTC, and this project will con-tinue that investment.”

Boards Weigh InAs of press time, three Commu-

nity Boards have weighed in andvoted on the USTA’s expansion, withanother three CBs meeting later inthe week.

The first board to vote on the topicwas Community Board 7, which in-cludes Flushing and Willets Point.The board voted in favor of the pro-posed expansion by a vote of 30-6on March 11. The vote came oneweek after the board’s Parks Com-mittee recommended approval withconditions.

The USTA touted the victory ear-lier this week.

“We are very pleased that Com-munity Board 7 has voiced its sup-por t for our proposed enhance-ments,” Daniel Zausner, chief opera-tion officer of the NTC, said. “Ourgoal is to continue to be a good stew-ard of the park and a good neighborand community partner as we havebeen for the past 35 years.”

Two other Community Boardvotes did not turn out in the USTA’sfavor.

Community Board 9, which rep-resents Kew Gardens, Ozone Park,Richmond Hil l and Woodhaven,voted against recommending theexpansion, also on March 11, with20 votes for, 22 against and oneabstention.

On March 12, Community Board4, which encompasses Corona andElmhurst, voted unanimously to op-pose the expansion.

Community Boards 6 and 8scheduled presentations, publiccomment and votes on the expan-sion on March 13, after this issuewent to press. Community Board 3planned to hold a hearing and a voteon March 14.

Once the Community Boardshave weighed in, the proposal willthen go before Queens BoroughPresident Helen Marshall, the CityPlanning Commission, the CityCouncil and the State Legislature.

PROPOSAL PROBLEMS

By STEVEN J. FERRARIAs Community Boards throughout

Queens prepare to vote on the pro-posed expansion of the UnitedStates Tennis Association’s BillieJean King National Tennis Center, acoalition has formed, asking the or-ganization to change its ways.

On March 8, the Fairness Coali-tion of Queens joined elected offi-cials and community leaders to pro-test what they called the “negativeimpacts” the USTA has on FlushingMeadows Corona Park and sur-rounding communities.

“For our community in Queens,the USTA is nothing more than agated community walled off from lo-cal residents,” Javier Valdes, co-ex-ecutive director of Make the RoadNY, said. “We are deeply concernedthat an expansion of the USTA willjust lead to even more problems forthe community.”

The USTA’s proposed expansionincludes the construction of two newstadiums to replace the LouisArmstrong stadium in the same lo-cation and the Grandstand in a newlocation at the southwest corner ofthe tennis center site.

The proposal to expand the ten-nis center includes the loss of .68acres of parkland that the City hasdetermined the organization doesnot need to replace. According to astatement from the USTA, most ofthe .68 acres is an existing asphaltroad that will remain open to thepublic 11 months out of the year.

Members of the community alsoexpressed disappointment that theUS Open causes parts ofFlushing Meadows CoronaPark to be shut off to thepublic during the event.

Joel Martinez, a memberof Make the Road NY and aprofessional marathon run-ner, said he trains at thepark, but dur ing the USOpen, he is routinely told tofind a new route to run.

Speaking through an in-terpreter, Martinez said po-lice stationed at the parkwould tell him he was not al-lowed to run his usual routeduring the US Open.

“If they approve this ex-pansion, what happens tothe park?” he asked. “Thepark is my home.”

The Fairness Coalition ofQueens has actively pro-tested a number of propos-als for Flushing MeadowsCorona Park, including a

Simply The Best

By JOE MARVILLIGarden of Dreams is more than just

a charity organization. The non-profitis dedicated to giving hope and oppor-tunities to children facing devastatingproblems, such as loss, il lness, poverty,foster care issues and more.

On March 11, Garden of Dreamsheld a rehearsal of their upcoming Tal-ent Show at Radio City Music Hall.Twenty different children performers ofall ages and musical skills arrived topractice their pieces for the April 16concert. Throughout the preparation,the kids were mentored by a panel ofcelebrit ies, including Queens-born Tal-ent Show Creat ive Director, Darryl“DMC” McDaniels.

The other entertainers on hand toguide the children were Miss USA NanaMeriwether, Model Damaris Lew is,Broadway star Tony Vincent, RockettesTara Dunleav y and Kari lyn Surrat t,Knick City Dancers Ana DeMatos andAlyssa Quezada and R&B boy bandMindless Behavior, who got a huge re-action from the crowd.

Alexis Stewart, a 13-year-old dancerfrom Elmont, was nervous being in frontof all the celebrity mentors. But onceher song of choice, “Reflections” from“The Lion King” musical, started play-ing, she relaxed and fell right into herroutine, which garnered much applausefrom the crowd.

By LUIS GRONDAIn what they hope will become an

annual event in Queens, Tennis NewYork and the United States Tennis As-sociation will host the inaugural NewYork Open tournament this summer atthe h istoric West Side Tennis Club inForest Hills.

The tournament will be held July 4-7, which coincides with the 100th anni-versary of the stadium’s opening. It ismost known for hosting the U.S Openin the late 1960s and 70s.

Dale Caldwell, president and CEOof Tennis New York, which hosts tour-naments nationwide, said that the rea-soning to have the tournament is two-fold: first, because there had been noopen tournaments in New York otherthan the U.S Open and second, becausethey wanted to celebrate the history ofthe stadium where famous tennis play-ers like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg andBillie Jean King competed.

“We would be celebrating the historyof the tennis stadium while creating newmemories at the same time,” Caldwellsaid. “There’s no bet ter place to havethis tournament than in Forest Hills.”

The tournament will be open to thepublic, including New York City resi-dents and abroad, but you must be se-lected to play in the games.

Selection will be based on a playerspro ranking and winners from various

West Side Tennis StadiumTo Host Tournament

Parks tournaments held throughout theCity, according to a Tennis New Yorkspokesperson.

The tournament will have men’s andwomen’s singles, doubles and mixeddoubles. Matches will be played on theTennis Center’s four cour ts and, al-though it has not been determined howbig the tournament will be, it will mostlikely be a 16 or 32-player draw, thespokesperson said.

Caldwell said that they plan on mak-ing the Open a yearly event and hopethat people will think of this tournamentas the beginning of summer, whi le theU.S Open signals the end of summer.

“We know that many like to travelduring that t ime of year,” he said, re-ferring to the tournament being heldon Fourth of July weekend, “but weare hoping to make this a destinationfor people to go to.”

Other details of the tournament likehow much ticket prices will be and whatthe winner of the tournament will gethave also not been determined, but thatwill be announced in the near future,the spokesperson said.

The application for the tournamenthas not been posted yet, but it will soonbe available on foresthillstennis.com andtennisnewyork.com.

Associated with the NYPD Widow’s& Children’s Fund, Stewar t chose thesong because it helped her reflect onher father, a police officer who waskilled in the line of duty.

“I felt like it helped me to reflect someof my dad in me and it just felt like thesong I would choose because the audi-t ions were on his birthday. I felt like thatwould help me a lit tle bit,” she said.

Although she was a lit tle anxious,Stewar t said she was very excited aboutperforming at Radio City Music Hal l.Having been a dancer for nine years,she felt that this opportunity would bea huge boost to her career.

“I’m hoping it’ll take me where I wantto be. Take me to Jui l liard. Take me tothose per forming ar ts schools,” shesaid. “I feel like it’s opening many doorsfor me and many oppor tunit ies for meto get where I want in per forming.”

DMC felt that the chance to makeconnections, both career-wise and per-sonal ly, is a big par t of Garden ofDreams.

“They see the CEOs, they see the man-agers, they see the coaches, they see thejournalists,” he said. “They see other op-portunit ies to make it possible to still beinvolved in doing something they love.”

DMC got involved with the Gardenof Dreams when they approached himdue to the work he did with his docu-mentary, “DMC: My Adopt ion Jour-

ney,” which told the story of howhe found out at the age of 35 thathe was adopted. He visited fosterhomes, connecting with kids andhelping them realize they were notalone.

“I said, ‘I wish there was anorganization that wouldn’t justcome and give out turkeys onThanksgiving and these neigh-borhoods wouldn’t see them againfor a year.’ Somebody said there’sthis thing called the Garden ofDreams and that’s what they do,”he said. “To make a long storyshort, they called me in for a meet-ing and this is what I’ve been look-ing for. They had that vision thatis real ly necessary.”

“Garden of Dreams gives thesekids opportunit ies and a usablehope. There are two hopes. Youcan make a law to protect the kidsand help them out. You can say aprayer for them,” DMC said. “Butthe Garden of Dreams puts thehope into act ion.”

For anyone who knows the first thing about hip-hop, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels is a household name. Along with Joseph “Run” Simmons and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell, he was part of Run-DMC, one of the most well-known and influential rap groups of all time.

With the group having been founded in Hollis, Queens, DMC felt that the borough left a significant impact on both his life and career.

“Growing up in Queens showed us that even in the dirt-poor ghetto, there’s some goodness,” DMC said. “We had hard working parents, we weren’t in the projects. We had houses. I had a backyard. I went to Catholic school my whole life. All those things went into my music.”

In the group’s first single, “Sucker M.C.’s,” DMC made a few references to his education in Queens, specifically in the lines “I'm D.M.C. in the place to be/I go to St. John's University/And since kindergar-ten I acquired the knowledge/after 12th grade I went straight to college.”

"My story was I was a straight A student who went to St. John’s University and had to stop because I made a record,” he said. “That’s powerful. That whole Queens community, the lower/middle class suburb vibe, transcended through our music.”

As Run-DMC’s career took off throughout the 1980s, Hollis started to become almost as famous as the group.

“There was a point where people in other states were saying ‘I’m from Hollis!’ That Hollis, Queens, vibe was so positive,” DMC said. “It was hard, it was relatable, but it was positive.”

DMC felt that their positive message and approval of education had the most lasting impact on the Borough and throughout their fanbase.

“Some of the kids were like, ‘You mean, I don’t have to sell drugs to be successful?’ I don’t have to carry this gun and do stick-ups?’ We affected people like that,” he said. “In my generation, when you said hip-hop, you thought possibilities, education and safety. I think that’s what we represented.”

We here at QConf get many emails each week letting us know about events going on around the Borough, but we don't usually get as much ad-vance notice as one email sent out recently.

Last week, Queens Li-brary sent out a press release about an event that they hosted in the Rockaways. It was your typical notice with all the information needed about a press conference. Except there was one detail we found very peculiar.

The date for the presser was listed as happening on “Friday, March 8, 3013.”

While we at QConf appreci-ate the advance notice of a press conference, we're pretty sure our current staff will not be able to go to that event for a story.

Also, we wanted to let the library know they got the date of the event wrong. March 8, 3013 is a Monday, not a Friday.

We’ll forward that email to a reporter working 1,000 years from now.

Getting The Word Out

Are you artistic, a model, musician, or a chef? Do you live in Queens? If so, we'd like to feature you! Email [email protected].

Got Talent?

When you have a small business, you are always looking for a way to get your name out there. While many people choose to advertise in print, visual or online me-dia, there’s at least one van reaching potential customers throughout the City streets.

As the photo shows, a street vendor that sells falafel has chosen to put his adver-tisement right on the back

What Year Is It?

Mobile AdvertisingAustin Shafran

Candidates in this fall’s election are required to file their contributions to the Campaign Finance Board by March 15, but one candidate was touting his successes a little bit early. Austin Shafran, who will be competing in the Democratic primary for City Council District 19, sent out a release on Tuesday stating that he had raised nearly $60,000 in the last two months. According to the statement, Shafran’s fil-ing includes 320 individual donors from throughout the district. “The support we have received from hundreds of working families, neighbor-hood businesses, and mem-bers of the labor community shows that people who love their city can come together

of his van as his customizable license plate.

The van and the vendor were found in the C-Town parking lot at Broadway and 30th Street.

Maybe this will lead to a trend of license plate advertis-ing, though it won’t work for everyone. Sure, hot dog and pretzel will fit, but French fries may have a bit of trouble fitting.

Musicians Of QueensOld School

One Queens middle-schooler felt that the food in his school’s cafeteria didn’t include enough pepper…spray.

The Daily News reported that on March 5, 18 students and a staffer at the Jamaica High School campus were taken to local hospitals after a seventh grader unleashed a can of pepper spray.

According to the report, a 12-year-old boy brought the can to school and a 13-year-old boy swiped it and started spraying the cafeteria about 8:45 a.m. Both pupils attend Queens Collegiate High School.

The victims were treated at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Queens Hospital Center and later released.

Too Much Pepper

to change it for the better,” Shafran said. District 19 is represented by Councilman Dan Hal-loran (R-Whitestone). The Democratic primary for the seat on Sept. 10 also includes John Duane, Paul Graziano, Matthew Silverstein and Paul Vallone.
