By NATALIA KOZIKOWSKAIn light of the news that he was

among one of nine individuals secretly wiretapped by disgraced ex-Senator Shirley Huntley, State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) expressed shock at the reports.

“I was as surprised as anyone to know that my name was on this list,” Peralta said. “I immediately reached out to my attorneys because I knew there was no wrongdoing in this situation. No authorities have reached out to me.”

Last Wednesday, Judge Jack Wein-stein unsealed the document containing the names of six elected officials and two political insiders who were wiretapped.

Queens representatives Council-man Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica) and State Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica) were named, along with State Senators Ruth Hassel-Thompson (D-Bronx), Velma-nette Montgomery (D-Brooklyn), Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) and John Sampson (D-Brooklyn).

The former political consultant and associate to New York State Attor-ney General Eric Schneiderman, Mel-vin Lowe, and former press advisor to Smith, Curtis Taylor, were also secretly recorded.

According to the unsealed document, between June and August of 2012, Huntley, while acting at the direction of the government, recorded meetings with the nine individuals. Recordings of four of the elected officials, as well as the two staffers did not yield any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

Although Peralta said he can not go into details about the conversation he

had with Huntley, he is confident that he is one of the four elected officials who were innocent.

“I’m someone who has worked for the last 11 years – eight in the assembly and three in the senate and I’m working hard to provide a better quality of life for my constituents,” he said. “Whatever I’ve been doing, I’ve been trying to do it as honestly and transparent as possible and it’s a shame that this happened but we need to move forward.”

Unlike many of the other elected of-ficials on the list, Peralta said he had no previous significant relationship with Huntley and was surprised to hear from her last summer.

“It was a little bit [strange],” he said.

“I can’t go into details of why she called me, but let’s just say once it is released, you’ll understand why. While I can’t go into detail, I know there was nothing, absolutely nothing that was said on my behalf that was wrong or criminal.”

Since the list has been released, re-ports have surfaced that the Senator, a Queens Borough President candidate, has paid $31,000 in legal fees since the end of 2011 to Stroock Stroock & La-van, a New York City law firm.

The fees, Peralta said, were not in any way related to Huntley’s secret re-cordings of him.

“My election attorney is Jerry Gold-feder – one of the premiere election attorneys in the State,” he said. “He

works for Stroock and Stroock. They’re expensive, but it’s strictly only been for campaign related expenses and general election consulting.”

Since the arrest of Smith and the conviction of Huntley, some elected of-ficials, like State Sen. James Sanders (D-Jamaica), have explored the possibil-ity that authorities are trying to target minority leaders. Peralta, however, is not convinced that this is the case.

“If you go back in history, whether its Republican or Democrat – bad apples are bad apples and there is no label on them and it’s an unfortunate thing that this is happening currently, but I just don’t see that there is a conspiracy out there,” he said.

Despite his rough week, Peralta said he is looking forward to moving on and focusing on his campaign for borough president.

“I think it’s a minor setback but I’m going back out to the community and think that people realize the type of in-dividual I am. I’ve been working hard for the past 11 years and I’m getting a lot support,” he said. “It’s a minor setback, but we’re ready to move forward.”

If elected, Peralta said he hopes to bring new legislative issues to the fore-front that may have been previously ne-glected.

“I would deal with budget issues, as well as legislative issues while I’m in of-fice. I hope to work with my colleagues to introduce and push legislation that is going to be positive for the Borough.”

By JOE MARvILLIAfter an intense debate and hours

of comments from the general public, Community Board 7 ultimately voted to approve the Willets Point Redevelop-ment Plan.

The board voted on May 13 in ap-proval of the project 22 to 18, after the Building and Zoning Committee changed its mind from last week and voted to pass the motion. The reason for the switch was a group of commit-ments from the Queens Development Group, a joint venture between Related Cos. and Sterling Equities, the real es-tate arm of the New York Mets, which addressed many of the board members’ concerns.

The environmental cleanup of the contaminated 23-acre site in Willets Point is the first step of the project, ex-pected to begin next year and be com-pleted in 2015. From there, the joint venture will construct the retail and ho-tel portions of the project along 126th Street, move the Citi Field parking into the Willets Point area and build the Wil-lets West entertainment and retail cen-ter. The 126th Street part will be done in 2016 and the Willets West mall will be complete by 2018.

Before the full Willets Point project, which includes the housing, can be built, new on- and off-ramps to the Van Wyck Expressway will be constructed by the City. Construction is set to begin in 2021 and completed by 2024. The CB asked that the ramp time-table be moved up.

Once the ramps are up, construction will start on the new mixed-use community, which will feature 2,500 units of new housing, 875 which will be affordable, local retail, supermar-kets and a new pre-k through eighth grade school with around 1,000 seats and out-door space. This final phase will begin in 2024.

While the Buildings Committee vot-ed against the Willets Point proposal by a count of seven to two last week, Vice Chairman Chuck Apelian said the group met again before the general CB 7 because they had new information on which they could base a new motion.

“Absent another motion, we don’t

have a recommendation for the commu-nity board. What took place at that point of discussion was whether or not there would be any further discussion, any further information, anything at all that

might take place to go forward,” he said. “Over the course of the last four days, that dialogue has taken place. We knew that we had some-thing to talk about.”

The commitments that satisfied many board members had to do with parking, traf-fic reduction and hiring practices.

For traffic, the City will make sure it is 100 percent computerized

by the time phase one is completed. The Joint Venture rep stated that there will be a 65 percent reduction in traffic impacts when compared to the origi-nal 2008 plan. In terms of hiring for the Willets Point project, 25 percent of the work force will be locals. The joint venture also said they will either keep at least 400 handicapped parking spaces along Citi Field at their current loca-

tion or they will move them to a similar placement around the stadium.

During the general meeting, many speakers came forward to argue both for, but mostly against the project.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity,” Ethan Goodman, an urban plan-ner and project manager with the joint ventures, said.

“If this project does not move forward, Queens will miss out on thousands of jobs and a vibrant new neighborhood,” Jack Friedman, executive director of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, said.

“The only guarantee that we have right here in this project is that a mall, a hotel and a retail center is going to happen,” Ivan Contreras, of the Queens Housing Coalition, said.

“Does everyone in this room look forward to early September 2018 when there’s a Mets game, the U.S. Open, a mall, a hotel, a soccer stadium, no ramps and traffic as far as the eye can see?,” asked Ralph Paterno.

“We don’t need any more malls,” Yvette Ramirez, from Make the Road New York, said.

Walcott, Iannece Clash On CB 11 Meeting

Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott and CB11 Chair Jerry Iannece got involved in a war of words this week over an incident at last week’s CB11 meeting.

By JOe MarvIllIThe fallout from last week’s volatile

Community Board 11 meeting contin-ued with an exchange of words between Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott and CB 11 chair Jerry Iannece.

The written communications came after a CB 11 meeting on May 6, dur-ing which the Schools Construction Au-thority’s presentation for a new school in Bayside was shot down before an aggressive audience. According to the SCA reps, some members of the pub-lic made threats against them after the meeting concluded. In a letter to Ian-nece, Walcott said Iannece allowed the abusive behavior to occur. Iannece re-sponded by calling the accusations false and faulting the SCA members for a poor presentation.

The potential project that caused all the trouble was a SCA plan to pur-chase the Keil Brothers Garden Center, located at 210-11 48th Avenue, and construct a school that would fit 416 students between Pre-K and 5th grade. CB 11’s meeting took place just blocks away at MS 158.

During the meeting, many citizens opposed the plan, particularly mention-ing how the school would add to an already high volume of traffic on 48th Avenue as well as how two nearby schools would create a difficult parking situation.

While tensions ran high during the meeting, it was mainly afterwards where

some behavior got threaten-ing. According to community liaison Monica Gutierrez, one person shouted in both her and her co-worker’s face and a man threatened to break site selection manager Chris Persheff’s legs. Gutierrez also said she was followed for a few blocks by a vehicle with an unidentified driver.

In response to this inci-dent, Walcott sent a letter dated May 8 to Iannece, dur-ing which he expressed his disappointment and aggrava-tion with what happened.

“As you are no doubt aware, schools surrounding the proposed new location are facing overcrowding. Representatives from the School Con-struction Authority tried to make this point at your meeting but were shouted down by an out of control group,” he said. “I’m told that you enabled this behavior by not drawing any boundar-ies to the abuse they were targeting at my staff. I would never allow anyone to be treated in this manner, and would expect that you would have the same standard.”

Walcott went on to state that threats by “aggressive and antagonistic individu-als” was an unacceptable response to “a good faith effort at early engagement” by SCA to reach out to the community,

saying he advised the two reps to file a police report.

“One individual even threatened to break a SCA representatives legs. I have advised these employees to file a report with the 111th Precinct about the threats that were made,” he said. “I do not anticipate any additional engage-ment on this facility.”

As of press time, neither the 111th precinct nor the Dept. of Education would confirm if a police report was filed.

Iannece shot back that he was “ap-palled” by Walcott’s letter, especially without the DOE having conducted an investigation or having gone to CB 11

to listen to the recorded meeting itself.

“I take great umbrage by your remarks and am very surprised that you would levy them without a complete and thorough in-vestigation,” Iannece said. “All our meetings are tape recorded. No one from your office contacted me and/or my staff, nor asked to re-view the tape recordings.”

The CB Chair also said that the meeting was made more difficult by what he called an antagonistic pre-sentation by the SCA mem-bers.

“This was especially diffi-cult in light of the poor pre-

sentation made by SCA that was viewed by many as condescending and at times, intimidating,” he said. “The SCA mem-ber outrageously stated, with the clear intent to intimidate, that if not a school, a drug rehab center, a crack house, or homeless shelter could be built at the location.”

Iannece finished up his letter by agreeing that threats against the SCA members were not condoned, but he was upset with Walcott’s tone and ex-pected a “full apology.”

Saujani Discusses Public Advocate Bid

Public Advocate candidate Reshma Saujani discusses her campaign.

By TriShA SAkhujADuring the Queens Tribune’s series

of sit-downs with candidates running for elected office, Reshma Saujani joined the Tribune’s editorial staff to discuss various issues surrounding her campaign for Public Advocate.

Saujani, former Deputy Public Ad-vocate for Bill de Blasio, launched her campaign in April with a kick-off event in Flushing. She is one of several Demo-cratic candidates contesting to be first-in-line to succeed de Blasio.

A graduate of Yale Law School and founder of Girls Who Code, a non-profit organization that works to bridge the gender gap in STEM studies, Saujani vows to create opportunities for girls, women, children and immigrants.

One of the many topics discussed, was the misconstrued role of the Public Advocate office.

“The office has seen a lot of budget cuts and it has taken the character of who represents it, but being that I was Deputy Public Advocate, I see the of-fice as a place in government that can speak out for the most vulnerable in our City,” Saujani said. “I see it as be-ing the watchdog, who is thinking about the policies and issues that affect those communities.”

She continued to explain her efforts as Deputy Public Advocate by building the Dream Fellowship program after the Vallone Scholarship was cut by the City Council, which helped well-deserving

immigrants go to college on a scholar-ship.

“As Deputy Public Advocate, I cre-ated a survey and an analysis of im-migrant entrepreneurs because there was no data that tells us what these businesses need and how we can help them,” Saujani said. “We found that many of these small immigrant-run businesses don’t have a website, so from our report, it forced New York City Economic Development Corpora-tion to react and help provide them with extra resources.”

“The Mayor partnered with us be-cause we are one of the only organiza-tions pushing girls to go into computer programming. It is possible to make changes for the City and I believe we need someone in the office, who is in-novative, creative and can bring in re-sources, and by resources I don’t mean just money,” she said.

Since the Public Advocate office has no line of authority over any City agen-cies, it is hard to execute policy and to get things done, but Saujani replied by saying, “I believe when you have innova-tiveness and creativity in the office, we won’t need to depend on government to tackle issues.”

Saujani is an advocate of computer science education and career technical schools. She said she is capable of get-ting resources for underprivileged stu-dents, such as used computers, without being pushed aside by the Dept. of Edu-

cation or the Mayor’s office. Of her long record in technology,

Saujani said, “I consider myself the tech candidate for the City and pushing inno-vation. I want to build on the work I did as Deputy Public Advocate and close the technology access gap and help women entrepreneurs.”

On the topic of affordable housing, Saujani said, “We need to put corporate lawyers across the City that have a pro bono requirement to work and create an army of lawyers that can protect tenants being abused by landlords.”

When asked about how the City has done in its efforts to recover from Su-perstorm Sandy, she said the recovery has not been fast enough and the City needs to do a better job preparing for the next possible storm.

Regarding Saujani’s prior work on Wall Street as a lawyer, she said she does not need to apologize for working within the financial services sector be-cause she needed to pay for her gradu-ate school loans and send money back home, but her mission in life is to work in public service.

Saujani says being a South Asian can only help her campaign because the South Asian community is finally gain-ing a political voice. She is running to be the first South Asian woman elected to City office.

Saujani said she distinguishes her-self from the rest of the candidates by having executive experience in the of-fice and by running a very tech savvy campaign.

“I want to take it one step further by not only issuing reports and ideas, but also create pilot programs to see results,” she said. “For example, after issuing the Immigrant Entrepreneurship report, we wanted to take about 60 busi-nesses, study them, ask them what they need, look at their budgets and actually provide them with help.”

Stop The NonsenseMayor Mike Bloomberg certainly has a way about him. From the

very beginning of the discussions to bring a soccer stadium to Flush-ing Meadows Corona Park, the Mayor has alienated a large segment of Queens residents with his plans to alienate a large segment of Queens parkland.

And with each new announcement, the Mayor’s gung ho ap-proach to get this stadium built continues to appall.

The introduction of Shiekh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan as a potential team owner was bad enough for some people. Then, on Monday, Mr. Mayor seemingly arbitrarily decided that any parkland taken from Flushing Meadows Corona Park could and should be replaced at the vacant Flushing Airport.

No discussions have been held, no negotiations have been made public and it seems as if no one in Queens has been contacted to discuss these plans.

Perhaps Mayor Bloomberg should just announce that process be damned, we’re doing things his way. At least then Queens residents would have an honest idea of what is actually going on.

No SignalsTo The Editor:

Has anyone at the Tribune no-ticed how much lane changing without signaling is happening lately? In my 40 years of driving, it has never been like this. It is not yet epidemic but in my opinion it happens too frequently. From what I have seen, it seems to be more prevalent than driving while speak-ing on a cell phone. Changing lanes without signaling is obviously easier to detect. If Mayor Bloomberg wanted an-other way to fill the City coffers, the Po-lice Department would have a field day. It would be equivalent to shooting fish in a barrel.

I guess this infraction, which driv-ers are occasionally warned against via overhead electronic message boards stating the New York State law, is hardly ever penalized along with the pooper-scooper law from the Mayor Koch administration. It happens at all highway speeds, event when traffic slows down to a crawl. People feel they can just sashay in front of you without signaling or giving you a waving hand gesture.

It not only happens when the driver’s left hand is occupied with a cell phone or beverage. Some drivers change lanes with their left hand holding on to the wheel or maintain their left arm posi-

tioned on the armrest, possibly oblivious, apathetic or plan lazy. What happened to respect for your fellow motorists and common road courtesy?

Support Our Principles

To The Editor:If our children are being taught

that America embodies no worthwhile principles to defend, no values to cher-ish, no traditions to preserve, then our republic is truly in jeopardy. Academia, the education establishment and most educators do not believe America’s values and principles are exceptional. Curriculum guides and textbooks char-acterize America as a country that is destroying the planet, oppresses the poor and whose culture is no better than any other and is need of reme-diation.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Brey-er in 2003 stated the challenge for Ameri-cans is to understand “how our Constitu-tion fits into the governing documents of other nations.” Who would want to have our Constitution “fit into” the documents of Zimbabwe, Cuba, Iran or some place that throws all women into hooded strait jackets with eye slits?

Terrorist attacks and threats serve to remind us that we have enemies and no amount of “political correctness” can disguise their identity and purpose. It is time to recall, re-examine, and reaffirm who we are and what it is we have oth-ers wish to take from us.

MTA JunkTo The Editor:

I was waiting for a bus on Thursday, May 9, 2013 at Liberty Avenue going southbound towards Rockaway at 8:58 a.m.

Two Q52 buses stopped and I jumped on the first one. The bus stopped at Beach 92nd Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard. I walked to Beach 95th Street when two more Q52 buses passed me as well as a Q53 bus, which I missed. So I waited for a Q22 that did not show. Finally, another Q53 showed up and it took me to Beach 105th Street. I got off the bus at 11:03 a.m. This trip usually takes 30 minutes. I was curious and waited another 10 minutes to con-firm the routine disaster of the MTA. Three Q22 buses passed me and then two Q53 buses.

Why doesn’t the Q52 stop at 95th Street and Rockaway Beach Bou-levard coming to Rockaway? Why doesn’t the Q52 going towards Broad Chan.5routine.

I call this third world, unreliable, communistic, bureaucratic monopoly junk. Keep trying MTA. You might get it right someday.

Honor Memorial DayTo The Editor:

Memorial Day is fast approaching. I hope it will not slip by with the many forgetting the importance of this day. Memorial Day in my book is not just another day off to maybe shop for sales and backyard barbecuing. In my opinion, Memorial Day is a time to re-member all those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy to-day. This Memorial Day, I find myself thinking what it means to be an Ameri-can. The answer is crystal clear, and that is the pride to live in a county that allows us our personal freedom to ex-press ourselves and speak our minds. These freedoms come with great per-sonal sacrifice for those who leave

family, friends and jobs to serve the greater good. I myself had served dur-ing the Vietnam era. Although I never saw combat, I had friends who did and who died serving their country. So, please honor Memorial Day by honor-ing those who gave their lives for what we all hold most dear.

You can do this by attending pa-rades in your local communities and saluting those who served our country so well. I also ask the many that can to display the flag of our country from homes and businesses. You can also call those veterans you know and tell them thanks for serving and keeping us free from tyranny.

IRS AbuseTo The Editor,

The recent revelations of the Obama Administration’s IRS targeting Conserva-tive groups are reminiscent of the tactics used by Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union. Unfortunately 501(c)(19) Not for Profit Veterans Service Organi-zations have been experiencing this type of abuse for half a decade.

After the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the IRS increased the difficul-ty and length of Form 990. They said this was necessary to prevent not-for-profit front organizations from smug-gling money to terrorists abroad. This meant that not-for-profit organizations that have $500,000 or more in total as-sets, or had gross receipts of $200,000 couldn’t use the four page Form 990EZ. They must now complete the longer 12 page document. All under the threat of prosecution if not properly prepared. It’s unconscionable to put the WWII and Korean War leadership of our VSOs un-der this kind of stress.

If the IRS can’t discern in one page that the revenue generated by VSOs is being used for “fraternal, patriotic, historical, charitable, and educational endeavors in order to maintain true al-legiance to and defend the United States from all her enemies, whomsoever,” then they are an incompetent waste of taxpayer funds and should be disband-ed.

I call on U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley and U.S. Rep. Grace Meng to put an end to this draconian requirement. I appeal to their sense of fairness and demon-strated willingness to help veterans in the past.

OP-ED

Legislative Crime Wave Or Better Prosecutors?By Henry Stern

Is there a crime wave among elected officials in New York State?

That is a question that can reason-ably be asked in view of the current spate of indictments, trials and convic-tions of elected public officials, primarily state legislators. The increasing number of prosecutions, however, is not just to-day’s news. In the last seven years, 32 state-level officials have been the subject of criminal proceedings. The ratio of de-fendants to the entire population of the legislature is comparable to street crimi-nality in some neighborhoods.

We ask: Why? Does the field of pub-lic service have a particular attraction for white collar criminals? Or do ordinary men and women, previously presumably honorable, succumb to temptation when substantial public funds are available for them to spend or allocate without their having to carry guns or commit crimes of violence?

Another issue that arises in these cases is the question of just what con-duct is criminal. There is a red line de-fining criminal behavior which some leg-islators cross; others try to get as close to the line as they can without crossing it. But calculations as to the exact focus of the line may be erroneous, or simply viewed differently by different prosecu-

tors or judges. The closer one drives to the cliff, they greater the likelihood of slipping off it.

A third area of concern is with the effect of influence. Many people in the larger community get jobs and promo-tions because of their real or perceived influence in generating business for their prospective employers. Some politicians hire themselves out as lawyers or agents for clients who wish to do business with the government, directly or through sub-sidiaries or relationships.

United States Senators and Repre-sentatives are presumed to represent the economic interests of their district. Their success in this area is considered a measure of their political effectiveness. Seniority is advertised as a reason to re-elect public officials, lest their districts lose the benefit of the influence gained by their lengthy service.

Bribery is not a crime whose bound-aries are precise. Although it is usu-ally clear what is bribery and what is not, there are fact situations in which one party conveys benefits on another which may or may not be criminal. Sometimes the determinations rest on the skills of opposing counsel. An ef-fective and publicly honored District Attorney may be more likely to secure convictions than a weak prosecutor.

The data revealing substantially lower conviction rates in Bronx County com-pared with other counties in NYC indi-cate that prosecutorial skill is one ele-ment in measuring the effectiveness of fighting crime.

Federal courts have higher conviction rates than state or local courts. This may be because more serious crimes are tried by federal judges, or it may be that fed-eral prosecutors are better trained, more competent and more effective than their local counterparts.

The durable adage “Don’t make a federal case out of it” indicates the pub-lic awareness of the greater severity of those cases. There are many reasons that crime rates are higher or lower at differ-ent times for different courts. Nonethe-less important in a civilized, law abiding society is that a criminal, whether street or white collar, should be diligently and competently prosecuted.

The importance of the position of District Attorney is shown by the fact that in all five boroughs in the City the position is elective, rather than appoint-ive. In the Federal system, the US At-torneys are appointed by the President, usually on the recommendations of the Senators of that state, and are employ-ees of the Department of Justice. This enables the President to use the Justice

Department to achieve his program-matic goals.

Elected officials are expected to de-vote some of their time and energy to promoting the economic interests of their districts. Campaign contributions are a measure of their success in this area. They also have a role in inducing federal spending in their districts. It was said by Mendel Rivers, former Repre-sentative from South Carolina, that if another military base was put in his dis-trict, it would sink.

The question arises as to whether public officials are more corrupt than they were years ago, or whether crimi-nal behavior is now being defined more broadly to include transactions which might in earlier days have been consid-ered unsavory but not criminal.

This is true on Wall Street. Cases involving insider trading, in which one party traded because of his position, has access to information not available to the public. Insider trading can, and occasionally is, punished by prison sen-tences. This is as it should be.

If any one person deserves credit for the increased activity of the Federal government in prosecuting white collar crime, it is Preet Bharara, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

CB 6 Vetoes Special Permit For FH Boxing Club

A Forest Hills boxing club was denied a special permit it requested after con-cerns over how it would operate.

At last week’s Community Board 6 meeting, the board denied Title Boxing Club, located at 69-32 Austin St., a spe-cial permit needed to operate as a box-ing club in the neighborhood. The cur-rent zoning in the area does not allow a sporting facility to operate without a special application approved by the City Board of Standards and Appeals.

During the meeting, Steven Gold-berg, CB 6 member and chairman of the board’s planning and zoning committee, said that they had hoped that someone representing the club would be able to answer questions on how it would oper-ate if they were to get the permit. He said that they were informed that CB 6 would vote on the permit at their May meeting and advised them to attend. No one from the boxing club was at last week’s meeting.

Among the questions they had, ac-cording to Goldberg, was its hours of operation and if the boxing ring on its premises would be used for boxing matches or just training.

Alex Aires, assistant general manager of the boxing club, said that they were never notified of the meeting last week. He said that their mail gets sent to two different addresses and that could be the cause of confusion.

He said that they would love to sit down with CB 6 and discuss their plans for the place and they are in the midst of organizing a meeting with the board.

“We’re not here to fight, we’re just trying to help the community,” he said. “Forest Hills really needs something like this.”

Regarding CB 6’s concerns, Aires said that there would be no bouts in the facil-ity and the ring would only be used for training people and helping them with their fighting technique. He added that their hours are 5 30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. on the weekends.

Aires said that they will apply for the needed permit again if necessary, but

the board’s decision to vote against it is only advisory.

The BSA has the final authority on the matter as they are responsible for deciding which permits are approved and rejected.

Requests for comment made to the BSA regarding Title Boxing Club’s per-mit application were not returned as of press time.

FP Carousel On Road To Becoming Landmark

The Forest Park Carousel could fi-nally be on its way to becoming a New York City landmark.

The Landmarks Preservation Commis-sion voted to schedule a public hearing to possibly designate the Woodhaven merry-go-round as a landmark on Tuesday morn-ing. The carousel finally made the agency’s item calendar after rumblings at various civic meetings that it could finally happen.

The push to landmark the carousel has been ongoing for years while it was vacant and that has continued since the new operator took over last year.

For four years, the merry-go-round remained closed after the previous con-cessionaire’s contract expired. It was taken over by NY Carousel Entertain-ment after five rounds of bidding from several different companies. And they paid to make some renovations before reopening in May 2012.

They also made a new addition this year, adding the “Hi-striker” game, which requires swinging an oversized hammer.

If it is landmarked, it would protect the structure from further renovation or damage.

Elisabeth de Bourbon, spokeswoman for the LPC, said that the date for the pub-lic hearing was not immediately set and that it will be announced in the near future. She added that the hearing will take place at their Manhattan headquarters at 1 Cen-tre Street, just like all public hearings for items that come up for landmark status.

BP Candidates Discuss FMCP Projects

On May 9, the Holy Civic Association and the Kissena Corridor Park Conser-vancy joined together to hold a borough president candidates forum at Flushing Hospital.

Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria), State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-Elmhurst), Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) and former deputy BP Barry Grodenchik were on hand to an-swer questions from a moderator and from the audience. State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and Melinda Katz were unable to attend.

One of the most passionate topics of the night was the three proposals on the table for the area surrounding and in-cluding Flushing Meadows Corona Park: the Major League Soccer Stadium, the United States Tennis Association expan-sion and the Willets Point development.

Comrie was firmly against both the USTA and MLS pitches, believing that parkland should not be used for private development.

“I do not believe that we should alienate any parkland at all,” he said. “As Chair of the Land Use Committee, I will tell you that I’m going to be urging my members if it even gets to us to vote against [MLS].

The Councilman did think that Wil-lets Point needs to be developed, but called the current plan “a mess.”

Grodenchik focused his answer on the MLS stadium, which he was firmly against due to a lack of answers from its Borough Board meeting in December.

“Quite frankly, it was the worst plan I have ever seen come before the Bor-ough Board in my nearly 25 years of at-tending these meetings,” he said.

Vallone also attacked MLS for its lack of clear answers in where the re-placement parkland would be placed if the project got approved.

“The law is they can replace that parkland anywhere in the City. It could be in Staten Island somewhere,” he said.

As for Willets Point, Vallone agreed with Comrie that the project was a mess, saying it was completely different now from the original proposal brought before the City Council.

While Peralta had been supportive of the idea of MLS in the past, he had a far more cautious view on Thursday night.

“I think it could have benefited the people of Queens if they were going to replace parkland, if they were going to invest in the park, if they were going to really repair all the area around the sta-dium,” he said.

He was also against the retail de-velopment of Willets Point, saying “we don’t need another mall.”

While all candidates at the panel dis-liked at least one of the FMCP projects, they talked about what business devel-opments they would support in the Bor-ough. One thing they all agreed on is re-building and protecting the Rockaways.

Peralta thought that the restaurant business is a great opportunity for eco-nomic growth.

Comrie said he would improve trans-portation and school training if elected, but a big economic powerhouse of Queens is its airports.

Grodenchik agreed about the air-ports and also said that Queens needs to capture tourists coming into the City, to give the Borough more business.

Vallone touted his experience in build-ing senior housing, saying it was something he would support Borough-wide.

Ridgewood Theater Could Be Sold Soon

A dormant performance space in Ridgewood could finally be sold to a new owner in the coming weeks.

Ryan Condren, the broker for CPEX, a real estate company that is selling the property, said that they hope to have the theater sold within the next three to four weeks. He added that they have several companies that are interested in buying the vacant building and negotiations are still ongoing. Condren would not disclose what companies are in the bidding because the theater is still on the market.

The historic Ridgewood Theater has been closed since 2008. It first opened in 1916 and showcased many different forms of entertainment including silent films. The façade of the property was landmarked in 2010 by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Ted Renz, executive director of the Myrtle Avenue Business Improvement District, said that while he hopes the property is revived as an entertainment venue once again, they are open to it being changed to something else like apartment rooms. In either case, its cur-rent situation is not benefitting Ridge-wood, he said.

“This building is an important piece of property,” Renz said. “Being vacant is certainly not helping that area of the district.”

He added that, while it would be up to the new owners to decide what they want to do with the property that they would own, they would love the oppor-tunity to sit down and speak with the prospective owners about what they would like to see done with the theater.

A new group called We Love Ridge-wood Theater has started, aiming to garner more support for the facility.

The group’s founder, Mercy Wong, said they want to get the community more involved in the theater’s future so that the public has a say. She said that even if the building is turned into something other than a theater, she hopes that some aspect of the property is dedicated to the arts so that a piece of its history can remain. She also said that they hope to find a nonprofit company that would produce plays at the facility whenever it opens again.

By Joe MarvilliFor more than 100 years, a barn

and horse stable have sat at the end of Auburndale Lane in Auburndale. Now known as the Western Riding Club Sta-bles of Queens, the location has become a community facility for the neighbor-hood. However, the structure is in dan-ger of being sold.

The landlord, John Lightstone, has decided to sell the property, which in-cludes the barn, the stable and unused land. Joy Tirado, who is in charge of the land, has been given the right of first refusal, but she has also only been giv-en 10 business days to come up with a down payment of $60,000. In order to save her stable, Tirado has gotten help from State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bay-side), who is trying to get it landmarked, as well as from the community.

According to Tirado, she received a letter from Lightstone on May 3, dated April 30, about the sale of the .27 acres of land at 169-38 Pidgeon Meadow Road. The letter said that she had until May 19 at 3 p.m. to come up with the $60,000 down payment if she wanted to keep the stable and the surrounding property. The rest of the $800,000 to-tal price tag would have to be paid in full by mid-August. Tirado has had no opportunity to work with the landlord.

“He has made it very clear that he wants no communication with me. The first hand-delivered letter of offer was left on my car windshield,” she said.

Community rallies to Save Horse Stable

“The original offer from the buyers was not included so I don’t know what the original offer truly is.”

While the stable was originally a mess when Tirado came to it in July 2010, she worked on it until the horses could be kept there. The stable’s name was the only thing she fought for during a two-year, domestic violence divorce.

“I walked away after two years of fighting with the rights to the name,” she said. “I lost my house, my boat, everything, but I’ll gladly do it all over again.”

Western Riding Club is used to enter-tain children, adults and senior citizens.

“We teach them the respect of na-ture, agriculture, equine and a love of all

animals,” Tirado said. “Everyone’s saddened to see that it’s in jeop-ardy.”

She also uses the horses to offer free, non-professional thera-py to those who need it, like cancer patients.

“I’m just teaching what my grandmother taught me from age nine. She taught me the Taino way. I am part Taino Indian,” she said. “In the Taino way, you respect land, you respect animals and you learn with trust

and repetition.”The land has R2A zoning, which is

single family detached. According to District 19 candidate and civic leader Paul Graziano, if the property is sold, about four houses could be squeezed into the space. If Tirado is unable to come up with the funds or if the loca-tion is not landmarked, she faces evic-tion.

“The horses go back to wherever I can place them,” she said. “Over here, they get preferred treatment. I don’t know what they’re going to be facing.”

Avella stated at a press conference on May 9 that the initial effort to get the stable landmarked was rejected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission

due to the state of the architecture. But the senator said that there will be an-other attempt to get it preserved under a historical value basis.

“This is a unique part of Auburn-dale and the community,” he said. “It is something that should be saved.”

Many civic leaders and members of the community came out in a show of support for Tirado and the stable.

“Joy has been a friend to the neigh-borhood, a friend to everybody who has had a problem and she is the perfect person to run this,” Beverly McDermott, president of the Kissena Park Civic As-sociation, said.

Tirado said that if their attempt to save the stable was successful, whether by landmark status or through purchas-ing the property, she would change the name to reflect its role in the neighbor-hood.

“If we are successful in saving this place, I want to amend and/or change the name to ‘It Takes A Village Branch’ because in essence, that realistically says what this is about,” she said.

By Trisha sakhuja The long awaited 200-foot resto-

ration of the seawall at the edge of Queensbridge Park was initiated with a groundbreaking at the site on May 10.

The overhaul of the waterfront, owned by the Parks Dept., is a $6.65 million project given to the New York City Economic Development Corpo-ration to complete by the summer of 2014.

“The much-anticipated repair of the Queensbridge Park Seawall will provide additional storm protection for the Long Island City community, while also im-proving their access to the waterfront,” New York City Parks Commissioner Ve-ronica White said.

The reconstruction of the seawall in-cludes using rip-rap revetment, which is made up of large rocks that will protect the shoreline by absorbing and deflect-ing waves and lessening the effects of erosion.

The project will also create a six-foot-wide waterfront promenade with benches, plantings and a small wharf at its northern end.

“The Queensbridge Seawall has been crumbling and falling into the river for the past two decades,” Councilman Jim-my Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) said.

“It has been on top of my agenda since I took office, which is why we al-located $400,000 in 2011 to formulate a study and better understand the needs of this project,” Van Bramer added.

Queensbridge Park seawall Gets a Facelift

“We needed to jump-start the process of reconnecting park goers to the East River waterfront.”

“Allocating additional funding for this project is one of the most important things I will do as a Councilmember and it is one I am most proud of,” he said.

The deterioration of the seawall be-came a federal issue in 2005 when a study released said the MTA’s electrical equipment was being damaged due to the water seeping through, causing de-

lays to the F train. “The City then decided to fund the

project itself and beautiful plans were drawn up, but for five years, there was no action,” US Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Astoria) said in a statement.

“Queens’ residents will be able to en-joy recreational activities on the water,” Maloney said. “But the urgent need for repairs is not just about recreational use of the waterfront; this is also a press-ing safety issue. The crumbling seawall

allows water to corrode electrical equip-ment on the F train – making this a criti-cal concern for the MTA.”

“The gaping holes at the edge of the park have been quite a problem for the past two decades because it was too dangerous for the kids and families to visit,” said influential community mem-ber, Elizabeth McQueen, who is also founder of Friends of the Queensbridge Park.

“For the first time, residents can walk up the edge and enjoy the views of the City or have lunch at the benches while watching the boats pass by,” McQueen said.

“The 1,300 linear foot seawall and 15,000 square foot landscape will be reconstructed as efficiently as possible,” said EDC’s Chief Operating Officer Zach-ary Smith. “This project is in-line with the Mayor’s goal to allow public access on grounds that have been fenced off for years and we are committed to finishing within our budget and timeline.”

“As Sandy showed us, seawalls, like the one we’re breaking ground to restore today, are an essential part of our city’s infrastructure,” City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said. “But this project will also further revitalize our waterfront, providing open space, and opportunities for recreation and passive enjoyment.”


Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer is joined by Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski, Elizabeth McQueen, Founder of Friends of Queens-bridge Park, New York City Parks Commissioner Veronica White, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, Bishop Mitchell Taylor and State Sen. Michael Gianaris.

By Luis GrondaA small group of protesters took to

the streets of Manhattan to voice their displeasure over the potential soccer stadium at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

The protestors, from a few different organizations like Make The Road New York, chanted in English and Spanish “Whose park? Our park!” and “Our park is not for sale!” outside of the United Arab Emirates American embassy on East 47th Street in Manhattan on May 9.

Their reason for choosing the embassy was due to the recent news that Shiek Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the deputy prime minister of the UAE and owner of the Premier League soccer club Manchester City, is interested in owning the Major League Soccer team that would play in Queens if the stadium is built.

Hilary Klein, Strategic Campaigns Director for Make the Road NY, led the rally and said that the City should not let Al Nahyan spend his money on the team and stadium and should instead concentrate its efforts on rebuilding the park itself.

“Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the most important green space for our community,” she said. “If the Shiek can pay with his own money to build a stadium, why is New York City talking about giving away parkland.”

Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria), who has voiced his disapproval of the project in the past, continued to do so at the rally, calling it “the worst land deal since Peter Minuit bought Manhattan for 24 dollars.”

“There are so many problems with this, beginning with the fact that there was no bidding involved here,” Vallone said. “The Mayor and MLS have come in and decided that this was appropriate without asking the people of Queens.”

Other Community members who spoke out against the proposed stadium included Ed Westley, a Jackson Heights resident and member of Community Board 2, and Farzana Marshed, a member of the Queens Community House.

“Why do they want to do business here? They can develop anywhere,” Marshed said. “We are Queens residents; we have a lot of needs. Why do they want to do business in our park?”

new ParkLand? A few days after the rally, Mayor

Michael Bloomberg continued to throw more support behind building the stadium at FMCP.

At a press conference in Brooklyn on May 13, the Mayor said that the City intends to build new parkland at the vacant Flushing Airport. Bloomberg deflected criticism of removing the parkland at FMCP by noting that his administration has developed a record of creating new parkland throughout the City.

“There’s new parks in every borough. You’re gonna have the biggest new park in a century at Fresh Kills. There’s new parkland up in the Bronx. Every borough is getting new parkland. So total, on balance, there’s an enormous amount of new parkland. But, it’s not the only thing people need. A lot of people want a stadium to enjoy soccer,” Bloomberg said, according to published reports.

The 70-acre former airfield in College Point has been vacant since 1984, after LaGuardia Airport opened. There were plans in 2004 to turn the area into a distribution center for small businesses in the Borough, but that was shot down less than a year later after strong opposition from residents living near the area and then-Councilman Tony Avella.

While still in the planning stages of the new stadium, MLS has declined

to comment on specific details of the proposal.

“MLS continues to work closely with the City to bring professional soccer to New York City; however, there is no deal yet and therefore we can’t comment on any specifics,” said MLS Spokeswoman Risa Heller in a statement.

Requests placed to the Mayor’s office seeking further comment were not returned as of press time.

environmentaL racismWill Sweeney, a member of the

Fairness Coalition of Queens, a group of civic organizations opposed to building the soccer stadium at FMCP, said that there are several problems with turning Flushing Airport into a park and it raises the question of environmental racism.

“You are taking away parkland from an

area that is predominately Hispanic and giving it to an area that is predominately white,” he said.

He added that the airport has suffered from chronic flooding in the past, which served as another reason why the site was shut down in favor of LaGuardia, and is too far from FMCP to be considered replacement green space.

“If you were to try to walk there, it would take you over an hour,” he said. “If they want to replace the parkland, it has to be adjacent to Flushing Meadows Corona Park.”

Javier Valdes, co-executive director of Make the Road New York, also blasted the proposal to creating replacement parkland at the airport, citing the inaccessibility.

In a statement released earlier this week, Valdes also noted that the airport, located in College Point, is in an area with a higher percentage of white residents than Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which he argued was more accessible to the minority populations in Corona, Flushing, Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst.

“What the Mayor said is outrageous. His plan to force working class people of color to rent their park away to a billionaire for $1 a year in exchange for parkland in a wealthier, white neighborhood is insulting,” he said. “It’s out of touch and it’s unjust. We are calling on all elected officials in New York City to denounce this.”

Holly Leicht, executive director of New Yorkers 4 Parks, blasted MLS’ plan to build the stadium in an Op-Ed that ran in the New York Daily News earlier this week and posted on their website.

“Building a stadium on this site will alter not just the site itself, but the nature of the park altogether. The footprint of the arena would be up to 13 acres, but the directly affected acreage, as defined by MLS’s proposed circulation roads and pathways, would be at least double that. On game days, tens of thousands of fans traveling from Citi Field parking lots, the Long Island Rail Road and the No. 7 Train would overwhelm the park, exacerbating the already significant maintenance challenges this heavily used public space faces,” Leicht’s statement read in part.


Opponents of Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s proposal to build a soccer stadium at Flushing Meadows Corona Park – and of potential investor Shiek Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan – gathered outside of the United Arab Emirates American embassy in Manhattan on May 9.

Bloomberg floated the idea of creating parkland at the vacant Flushing Airport in College Point during a press conference this week. Park advocates argue that the area has suffered from chronic flooding and is too far from Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Jacob A. Riis Hosts Arts Festival

By Eric Jordan Queens, known as one of the greatest

melting pots in the world, highlighted its diversity once again as dozens of mer-chants from all around came together at Citi Field for Queens Taste 2013. With so many delicious scents in the air, it was hard to decide what to try first. I im-mediately grabbed a plate and fork and headed to the closest restaurant stand.

I am a sucker for thinly-sliced cured pork products; there is nothing sexier than seeing a beautiful piece of Serrano ham being hand-carved ever-so-carefully, precisely slicing the delicate meat to the perfect thinness. For the people at La Rioja, this is a specialty served at their tapas bar located in Astoria. Also located in the same neighborhood is Christos Steakhouse, which served a thin-sliced filet, crusted with a wild mushroom bacon crust, only to be topped off with a slightly melted piece of gorgonzola cheese and a

drizzle of their demi glaze to top it off. A wonderful arc of flavor all bundled up in one delicious bite.

As I fluttered around the Caesars club in Citi Field, scouring for that next great dish, I stumbled upon Magna Ristorante, based in Flushing. Beautifully colorful bruschetta pasta drew me in to their booth, which was unbelievably tasty. It made me believe that pasta should be served with the Italian appetizer usually served on toast or a cracker. The only compliment to the flavor of their pasta was their Pollo Antonio. Soft, tender and lightly marinated, those dishes made me hungry for more.

As I continued my tour, I came upon a crowd and I could only assume I was approaching something delicious. If any-thing was going to get a crowd, it would have to be the only two restaurants serving sliders. Though each was com-pletely unique from one another, they

both delivered perfec-tion on a bun in their own way. The Dog & Duck gastro pub, a Sunnyside establish-ment, lived up to their name with a savory duck slider. The oldest butchers in Queens, F. Ottomanelli Burg-ers & Belgian Fries, located in Woodside, delivered a simple yet devastatingly succu-lent fresh ground beef slider that was every-thing you want a mini burger to be.

Just as I thought I could not eat any-more, I realized it was dessert time. I just happened to turn around to find Sara Meyer, the owner of Little Bird Chocolates, a Queens-based artisanal chocolate company. With a nice smile and a display of their own homemade chocolate-dipped animal crackers, Sara quickly drew my focus away from Amer-ica’s favorite children’s cracker to an-other one of their treats: a dark choco-late candied jalapeño, sprinkled with a touch of sea salt. With the sweet salty spicy delight in my mouth, Sara then awarded my triumph over their spicy chocolate with one of her hand dipped Animal Crackers.

With my chocolate craving satisfied,

I suddenly noticed a lot of fuss coming from the delicious treats created by Take a Break & I’ll Bake bakery. For a brand new company still starting up, all baking is done in a local community kitchen with some southern style. Their quality of prod-uct awarded them the title of Best Dessert in Queens by the voting committee.

Other award-winning dishes went out to McClure’s Pickles for Best Appetizer, for their spicy and garlic dill pickles com-plimented by homemade pickled Bloody Mary mix. The honors for Best Entrée were tied between Pine Restaurant locat-ed in Corona and F.Ottomanelli’s sliders.

In the end, it was a successful event as everyone in attendance felt as if they were a winner that night at Citi Field.

By Luis GrondaStudents from a Woodhaven Catho-

lic school are putting together a film about the storied history of the neigh-borhood.

The movie, titled “Woodhaven: Di-verse Backgrounds United in One His-tory,” will premiere on June 10 at 6 p.m. at the Cinemart movie theater on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills. It will feature several interviews with longtime members of the community and focuses on Woodhaven’s diversity and changes throughout the years. It was put together by several students from St. Thomas the Apostle School in Woodhaven.

Patty Eggers, a history teacher at the school, said they first got the idea to do the film after speaking with Ed Wendell, who runs the Woodhaven Historical Society and the Woodhaven Residents’ Block Association, and coming up with a way to tell the neigh-borhood’s historic past.

She said that some kids had done video projects in the past and went around asking the students if they would be interested in being a part of this project.

The response to her inquiry was tremendous and a total of 28 kids – all from the 6th, 7th and 8th grades – agreed to take part in creating the film. Eggers said that the responsibility of putting the documentary together is split among the kids, with some of them doing the interviews, others han-dling the actual filming and some edit-ing the movie.

Eggers said that the students have

been working on the film since Feb-ruary and are about 80 percent done with the entire project.

She has taken a hands-off approach to overseeing the project, saying that she is only trying to be the facilitator for the kids and she lets them make all of the decisions as it gets closer to completion.

The kids have learned a lot about Woodhaven’s history while working on the film, Eggers said.

“It has really made them wonder what they can do for their communi-ty,” she said.

Wendell, whose organization donat-ed 20 copies of the book “The Story of Woodhaven and Ozone Park” by Vincent Seyfried, which was used as a primary reference guide for the film, said that it is paramount that kids learn about the history of where they live, especially at a young age.

“It’s so crucial to get young people interested in, not just U.S. history, but in local history,” he said. “It gives them a sense of belonging in the com-munity.”

Wendell added that they hope to do more projects like this movie in the future.

To help the civic group with costs related to the movie, you can log onto projectwoodhaven.com and you can purchase sponsorship options ranging from $25 to $125. Part of the package for each option includes two tickets to the premiere next month.


By Trisha sakhuJa The Queensbridge Community Cen-

ter, located at Long Island City, was bus-tling with a diverse crowd celebrating the arts, music and dance performances by the youth of the nearby communities.

The 15th annual Springs Arts Festi-val, a free event on May 11, was host-ed by the Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Settlement House, a holistic commu-nity-based, non-profit organization. It provides services to the youth, families, immigrants and seniors in the western Queens community.

The festival has progressively become the biggest event of the year, which al-lows community members from Long Island City and greater Western Queens to showcase their artwork and dances, and partake in face painting and arts and crafts.

“We are very proud of the arts festival because it is an opportunity to showcase the artwork created by our youth with the help of The Joan Mitchell Founda-tion,” said Director of Development and Communications Christopher Hanway.

An assortment of food, including healthy side dishes and drinks, were

served throughout the day. Colorful prototypes of sneakers

made by students were exhibited, along with face sculptures produced by seniors and photography from the Normandeau News.

“The Spring Arts Festival is a great opportunity for us to come together and celebrate the vibrancy of our com-munity,” said Ny-Treasure Bartee,17, a current Riis Academy-Queensbridge and 2013 Denmark Summer Youth Ex-change Program participant said.

The students from the Tech Club at Information Technology High School in Long Island City enjoyed playing games with the youth, displaying how robots function and explaining various parts of the computer to the participants.

“I enjoyed the kung fu performance by the Karate Team the best,” said Sara Tusk, a long-time resident of Queens-bridge Houses.

“Over the years the festival and the community have become so multicul-tural,” Tusk added.

When it comes to art, Alacia Stubbs has had a storied history, both in and out of Queens, that is far from complete.

Stubbs lived in Queens Village for 26 years before moving down to Charlottes-ville, VA. She just moved back to Queens, this time settling in Bayside this past January. The Borough has been a longtime inspiration for her, especially regarding her interest in landscapes.

“I got interested in all the funky, some-times dilapidated stores and old houses I saw from the train windows. I started bringing my camera with me on the subway, photographing whatever caught my eye,” she said. “Now I am beginning a series of paintings of buildings using these photos as a starting point for my paintings.”

Stubbs attended Parsons School of De-sign, where she earned a BFA. She gained a MA from Yale University in Studies in Religion and the Arts. She studied print-making with Bob Blackburn and Roberto delo Monaco at Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop in Manhattan and with Flo Hatcher.

“These three were dedicated teachers who communicated their passion for art-making along with specific technical skills to their students,” Stubbs said.

Her interest in both sculpture and paint-ing has led to many creations in the two fields, but her techniques for each style are very different.

“My mind with its visual ideas connects easily to my hands working the clay, and the sculptures seem to make themselves. Clay is my emotional medium,” Stubbs said. “Painting is my intellectual medium

New York Mets third base-men David Wright launched an initiative last week to honor first responders and victims of Superstorm Sandy.

The campaign, called The Wright Thing, aims to raise awareness of the work the responders have done, and con-tinue to do, and the struggles the victims have gone through in the six months since the storm hit. The initiative will also petition that more work should be done as the areas affected by the storm continue to recover.

According to a press release sent out by the Mets, Wright said that he got the idea to start this program after he visited Staten Island to make

You can run, but you can’t hide from LIPA or the Na-tional Grid because they will find you, even if you don’t actually owe them money. Firefighter Kieran Burke, a resident of Breezy Point, received many bills to his temporary postal-box ad-dress in New Jersey for the gas and electricity he has not been able to use since he lost his home during Superstorm Sandy. Due to LIPA’s carelessness to not turn off the power dur-ing the storm, Burke’s home was burned to the ground. So, not only have they caused a lot of trouble and

The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Queens Zoo recently welcomed three little pigs into its family.

The trio, born on May 9, is a rare mulefoot hog breed, known for pigs that have single non-cloven hooves.

a $250,000 donation to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. He saw in person the damage the storm caused.

"I wanted to do something to help repay the thousands of volunteers who devoted count-less hours to helping our City recover,” Wright said.

The program will honor several first responders and victims throughout the rest of this season, with the first being Jerry Chan, who was honored at last Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chan led volunteers who delivered food and supplies to residents of Knickerbocker Village in Manhattan, who were powerless one month after the storm.

heartache for Burke’s family, but they continue to salt his wounds with false bills. To make matters worse, the LIPA representative Burke spoke to over the phone had no clue as to how so many homes were burned down and failed to give him a proper explanation. The whopping total of $1,605 is how much Burke apparently owes to LIPA and the National Grid for their negligence and downright stupidity. The New York Post inter-vened to help Burke’s family and only then did the two com-panies admit their mistake.

because I have to struggle to express my 2-D ideas to my satisfaction, and put the paint on the canvas in a way I find pleasing.”

Stubbs was also the winner of an “Art-InPlace” commission to create a ceramic sculpture for a public park in Charlottes-ville. The piece, titled “Little Plant Danc-ing,” was eventually bought by a private collector.

“I never expected to win, I did win, and I embarked on figuring out how to make the largest clay sculpture I had ever made,” she said.

For the future, Stubbs will keep work-ing on her “Houses of Queens” series and keeping teaching art at a Bayside senior center.

“I just want to continue artmaking and art teaching forever!,” she said.

hair pigs are fairly uncommon because they are no longer bred by farmers.

They grow to reach about 250 to 400 pounds.

This news makes this QConf reporter wonder, which borough is the birthplace of the big bad wolf?
