The contentious split between Queens County Republicans has be-come deeper, with allegations of rac-ism and bullying on one side and a court case filed from the other.

The latest source of discontent spilled over after the Sept. 27 reorgani-zational meeting, where longtime Re-publican leader Phil Ragusa held on to his position, despite a challenge from former U.S. Rep. Bob Turner.

According to members present at the Sept. 27 Queens Republican Party reorganizational meeting, a faction led by Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) made a number of rac-ist and disparaging remarks about and towards individuals at the meeting. Some members in attendance said they felt they were bullied and belittled by Ulrich.

Ulrich was said to become increas-ingly agitated when the vote was not going his way. Sources say that Ul-rich’s faction, which also included Bart Haggerty, Ulrich’s former chief of staff, and Tony Nunziato, a Repub-lican District Leader in Maspeth, con-tinued to disrupt the meeting.

Natalie Dubovici, a member of the party’s credentials committee tasked with verifying the votes, said Ulrich “was acting like a child” and made “a mockery” of the process.

She noted that Ulrich and his com-panions loudly accused her of doing her job poorly and belittled her when she defended herself and explained her decisions.

“I was just disgusted about how an

GOP Split Deepens After Meeting

elected official belittled me,” she said. “As an elected official, [Ulrich] should not be talking to people like that.”

Ulrich called the meeting “a cir-cus,” and responded it was being run unfairly and they were attempting to maintain order. He noted that a court case has been filed to attempt to wrest leadership from Ragusa.

“Just because you declare yourself the winner and tell people to shut up doesn’t mean you’re the chair,” Ulrich said.

An email written by Kathy Huang, who served as parliamentarian for the meeting, detailed a number of racist remarks made by the group, both to-wards her and other Asian-Americans present.

The email obtained by the Queens Tribune was sent to a party member who was not present at the meeting.

When Huang explained who she was and her role at the meeting, a member of Ulrich’s group was said

to have asked, “Is she even Ameri-can? Where does she practice law, in China?”

Huang’s email also stated that when a speaker had trouble pronouncing an Asian district leader’s name, Nunziato stated, “Ching Chong Won, what’s the difference, they all sound the same.”

Nunziato also reportedly referred to Eben Brofman, John Catsimatidis’ Mayoral campaign manager, deroga-torily, saying “there’s that fat pig’s Jew coming to do his dirty work,” the email also detailed.

Another source at the meeting, who wished to remain nameless, said Ulrich berated an older woman at the meet-ing after Ulrich challenged a proxy vote the woman had cast, accusing the woman of committing a fraud and that her proxy vote should be invalid.

Robert Hornak, the party’s execu-tive director, said the comments were upsetting.

“Those kinds of sentiments are completely unacceptable in the politi-cal sphere, as they are in any other as-pect of life,” he said.

Ulrich denied the allegations.“Nothing could be further from

the truth,” he said. “It’s such an outra-geous claim to make.”

Nunziato added that no one in their camp made racist remarks at the meeting.

“I would never say or do anything like that to personally offend some-one,” he said. “I just want to get real people to come out and run, so there’s real choice on the ballot.”

On Tuesday, more than a dozen local leaders gathered at the steps of Queens Borough Hall to protest the Dept. of Education’s proposed co-locations in the Borough beginning the 2014-2015 school year.

Elected officials, community board members and representatives from the United Federation of Teachers each slammed the proposals, which they fear will have a devastating im-pact on New York City public school students, teachers and parents.

“Once again, the Bloomberg ad-ministration is trying to implement policies in our schools without under-standing the consequences – without understanding the impact on people,” said organizer and Deputy Major-ity Leader, Councilman Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans).

Could the Metropolitan Trans-portation Authority possibly reac-tivate a defunct Long Island Rail Road line in the next two decades?

That is what transit activists hope after reading the MTA’s Capi-tal Needs Assessment from 2015-2034.

In page 133 of the report, the agency lists possibly reviving the train line as a way to address the growing need for more subway and bus patterns.

“A possible option is the utiliza-tion of abandoned or underutilized Rights of Way (ROW) such as...the abandoned Rockaway Beach Branch...Conversion of existing ROWs...could help reduce land ac-quisition and construction costs, and facilitate construction time in densely developed areas,” it says in their report, released last week.

Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Ozone Park), who has long been an advocate for revitalizing the train line that would run from the Rock-aways to Rego Park, praised the transit agency for including the train line in their capital needs report.

“The MTA has heard our calls for smart investment in existing Right of Ways to improve transit infrastructure, create jobs, while helping each family in Queens and across the City in their daily com-mutes,” he said in a statement.

But Andrea Crawford, a member of the Friends of the QueensWay group, which supports creating an elevated bike path on the 3.5-mile stretch of vacant land instead of revitalizing the train line, said this does not mean the QueensWay will not happen and the feasibility study for the project, which began last month, is still ongoing.

“The study does not say its intent is to activate or fund the train line,” she said. “We continue to move forward in a way that supports the economic development of Queens without impacting its ecology.”

Kevin Ortiz, an MTA Spokes-man, said its inclusion in their re-port does not mean the agency is considering activating the train line and nothing has been done regard-ing that issue at this time. He added the 20-year plan gives possibilities for all potential projects.

years – one of which would place an elementary school inside a high school while another would place three schools in the same building.

The timing of the proposals, just two-and-a-half months before Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 12-year regime will come to an end, had many protes-tors convinced that the administration is trying to impose its will on students long after they leave office.

“It’s important to note, especially for the press, that this is going to be a new administration in two-and-a-half months,” said Democratic candidate for Borough President, Melinda Katz. “To do co-locations now, which sets the policy for a long time to come – it really just doesn’t make sense. Let’s wait until January to have the discussions. It is crazy to do this now.”

“We need a change, and it’s out-rageous that the new administra-tion will be hindered and saddled with these old ideas when we want

reforms in our education system,” echoed Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens). “We will be work-ing hard together, all of us in Queens, to make sure our Mayor doesn’t try to force his old policies on our new ad-ministration.”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s de-velopment plan to build a mega mall at Willets Point was approved by the City Council on Oct. 9.

The $3 billion development proj-ect, spearheaded by the Queens De-velopment Group, a joint venture with Related Companies and Sterling Equities, made several concessions to garner the support from City Council members.

The joint venture has agreed to give $15.5 million to the newly-created Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alli-ance and an additional $2.68 million toward a rooftop farm/greenhouse at the mega mall.

Despite the assurances of conces-sions, not everyone was completely on board with the plan.

“We remain skeptical that a 1.4 million square foot mall on public parkland is the kind of economic de-velopment our community needs,” Rev. George Anastasiou from Faith in New York said in a statement.

He went on to say that they are grateful for Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst), who has worked hard to improve the condi-tions of the proposed development by including benefits for the local com-munity, such as good jobs for local res-

idents, affordable housing, improvements to Flushing Meadow Park, partnerships with local businesses and steps to reduce the burden of increased traffic.

The joint venture is slated to clean the 23 acres of land currently occupied by the auto shop owners by 2015.

After the clean-up, the development of 126th Street will start, which includes re-tail, restaurants and a hotel to the east of Citi Field; west of the stadium will see an entertain-ment and retail center. The east side of the project will be completed by 2016 and the west side will be completed by 2018.

The construction of the total hous-ing units, another major part of the redevelopment project, is contingent upon building new ramps off the Van Wyck Expressway, which the City is slated to begin in 2021 and complete by 2024.

The city has agreed to allocate $66 million in the budget for design and construction of new ramps off the Van Wyck Expressway leading to Willets Point, Ferreras said.

The total number of housing units for the entire build-out is 5,850, ac-cording to City officials. Since the number of affordable housing units is

Mega Mall Gets Final Approval From City Council

35 percent of the total number of hous-ing units, more than 2,000 affordable housing units will be built between the two phases of the project.

Phase 1b of the project consists of the construction of 871 affordable housing units, which will begin by 2024. The rest of the affordable hous-ing units, approximately 1,200, will be built during Phase two of the project.

According to City officials, if the joint venture does not follow through on their commitments at Willets Point, they will be penalized with a $35 million fine and the City has the right to replace them with another developer.

“This historic project will lead to the remediation of nearly one hundred years of environmental contamination, create a completely new infrastructure

system, develop a major new mixed-income neighborhood with abundant community and commercial amenities, infuse $3 billion of private invest-ment into the local economy, and create nearly 20,000 jobs which will benefit residents for generations,” Kate Blumm, as-sistant vice president of public affairs at the New York City Economic Development Cor-poration, said.

Approximately 110 auto shop owners at the Iron Tri-

angle are working on a site soon to be displaced by a parking lot. However, Cornerstone, a relocating expert hired by EDC, has identified approximately 150 sites.

Officials say some auto shop own-ers are leaving in groups or individu-ally. So far, approximately 18 shops have agreed to relocate.

The relocation firm has engaged with existing businesses for over a year, while the City has allocated $15.5 in funds to pay for the auto shop own-ers technical assistance, relocation costs and supplement benefits of up to a year’s rent. Cornerstone has cost the City $700,000 over the past five years, according to City officials.

The City Council approved a spe-cial permit on Oct. 9 to build a pair of high-rise buildings that will displace an iconic warehouse in Long Island City that has seen tourists from around the world because of the graffiti art it displays on its walls.

Even though the Wolkoff family owns the right to build on the prop-erty at 22-44 Jackson Ave., the devel-opers applied for a special permit to change their current zoning to build on a larger floor area that consists of two buildings, measuring 47 and 41 stories tall, with a total of 1,000 apart-ment units.

During the City Council public hearing on Oct. 2, David Wolkoff of G&M Realty said they look at their de-velopment project as a transition from the past and present to the future, which will help create Long Island City’s new identity.

Wolkoff said after many discus-sions with Community Board 2 and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), they have agreed to in-crease the number of affordable hous-ing units from 75 to 210.

“By working closely with both ap-plicants and the community, we have ensured that the public will be provid-ed with a reasonable development that

will guarantee the community of Long Island City continues to thrive,” Van Bramer said in a statement.

The agreement includes a guaran-tee that the developer will hire 800 union construction workers and ap-proximately 200 full time workers.

Since the Wolkoffs have allowed for legal graffiti artwork to adorn the walls of their 200,000-square-feet warehouse at 5Pointz for more than a

decade, he said the new development will consist of art walls, artist studio space and an attractive art gallery that will showcase the work of local artists.

“We are not going back on our promises,” Wolkoff said previously.

In a recent agreement signed by Jerry Wolkoff, the developers have promised to remain committed to the arts in this building by increasing the amount of artist studio and gal-

lery space from 2,200-square-feet to 12,000-square-feet.

Marie Flageul, a volunteer at 5Pointz, has said that 5Pointz cura-tor Jonathan Cohen should be offered the artist space due to his dedication to the site.

According to the newly signed agreement, Cohen, also known as Meres, will be given the opportunity to aerosol on the 10,000-square-feet of art panels and walls along Davis Street.

Furthermore, this space will be available to local artists at reasonable rents.

David Wolkoff previously said that he is very hopeful that Cohen and the artist community will come back to paint when the development is built.

In addition to artist space and af-fordable housing, the developer has committed to build a public park that is over 32,000-square-feet.

Other amenities within the build-ing include over 50,000-square-feet of retail space, a gym, media rooms, a rock climbing wall, meeting rooms, 500 bike-rack spaces and a 250 car parking garage.

A spokesperson from 5Pointz was not able to comment on the newly signed agreement in time for press.

In YOur OpInIOn

Development of the Iron Triangle has been promised to the people of Queens for years. The City Council approved a plan in 2008 that was slowly changed and became unrecognizable to many who originally agreed to it.

So you’ll excuse us if we remain skeptical about the plan approved by the City Council on Wednesday, promising a go-ahead for a project that has been promised since before many of the current City Council had even been elected. By the time the project is finalized, who knows how many will have come and gone.

Jobs are important, bringing more tax dollars to the Borough is important. A new retail and entertainment center will bring those things to Queens. An added concession to the deal – millions of dollars to the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alliance – is a nice touch. But the proposal still falls short of what is most needed here.

It seems as though no one was willing to push on the need for affordable housing sooner rather than later. The need for ramps at the Van Wyck is the hold-up, but construction of the ramps won’t even start until 2021. By then, who knows how bad the need for affordable housing will be.

Affordable housing is not a profitable enterprise. Because it will never be a money-maker, we need our elected officials to hold developers’ feet to the fire and force them to provide it, but the City Council continues to let that slide.

We shall see how this project eventually turns out, but don’t be surprised if those housing units never get built.

Deal Not IdealTo The Editor,I n the Oct. 3-9 issue, there

was a letter from Tyler Cas-sell relaying his experiences

of receiving emails mocking President Obama and Demo-crats, and his claims of having left speechless acquaintances when defending policies of this administration.

Tyler, I have news for you. I’ve had the same experi-ences.

There are readers, such as yourself, who write letters to this fine newspaper. Week after week, the same writers use that as a forum to endlessly knock Republicans, the Tea Party, con-servatives, and their policies.

I, too, get emails ridiculing and mocking Republicans, Joe Lhota, the Tea Party, and their opposition to Obamacare. I will remind you that Obama-care remains unpopular even among many Democrats. My employer has told me that once implemented it will cost

him dearly, and he may very likely have to let workers go. More unemployment, more dissatisfaction. Alas, the pro-gram is not the silver bullet the Democrats, liberals, Bill Maher, many one-sided news networks and Nancy Pelosi have made it out to be. I’ve tried to discuss this with some of my more left-wing friends, but they refused to listen.

As for those who you dis-agree with being unable to answer, I have had the same response. I ask Democrats why I can’t be allowed guns to de-fend myself and family, but it is perfectly alright for politicians, the Hollywood elite and certain left-wingers to own them. They can’t answer me.

Notwithstanding the pres-ent government shutdown, both parties are to blame, as well as their supporters. Alas, Tyler, it works both ways.

Edward RiecksHoward Beach

Israel: Time For Vote To End ShutdownTo the Editor:There’s a lot of blame

and finger pointing for the recent federal

government shutdown. Today I’m offering a common-sense solution.

Originally, House Repub-licans in the majority offered a resolution to temporarily

continue governing operations. It had two conditions: Fund the government at a level that many Democrats felt was insufficient; and defund and delay the Affordable Care Act. I could not support both of those conditions, particularly using a shutdown of the federal govern-ment to effectively repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Now I have been advancing a common-sense compromise that would reopen the federal government immediately. We should vote on a budget that agrees to the original funding level proposed by Republicans, but does not defund or repeal the Affordable Care Act. This extension would give us the time to negotiate long-term budget issues while keeping our government open.

If you are on the far right, you will disagree with me that we should not defund or repeal

the Affordable Care Act. If you are on the far left, you will dis-agree with me that we should accept, even temporarily, the Republican-proposed budget levels. However, I believe that most people whom I represent do not want to use the Afford-able Care Act to shut down services they are paying for with tax dollars, and they expect that I will work hard and respon-sibly to keep the government open while negotiating our differences.

I believe that there are enough votes in Congress today to pass this compromise immediately. I have urged Re-publican Speaker John Boehner to just bring it to a vote. People can vote for it or against it, but we owe the American people a vote.

Blame Both Sides

To The Editor: The Woodhaven Business Improvement District is very concerned with

the lack of action since the col-lapse of the building at 78-19 Jamaica Avenue on April 15, 2013. This collapsed building also damaged our Woodhaven Senior Citizens Center, which is located next door. The owner, 78-19 Jamaica Avenue LIC, had 42 open building violations at the time of the collapse, which still have not been cor-rected. During these past five months, no action has been taken by the owner to repair or reconstruct this building, other than to build a fence (which is constantly graffiti vandalized). This lack of repair has resulted in the Senior Citizen Center elderly members having to vacate the premises due to the dangerous conditions. This Senior Citizen Center is such a necessary service and an as-

set to our community and was opened for our seniors due to our elected officials funding and support. This is why it is so imperative that the owner of 78-19 be forced to repair their premises complying with all building certifications and codes. If they do not, then their building should be demolished. The Woodhaven Business Improvement District and the Greater Woodhaven Develop-ment Corporation would ap-preciate your intervention in this dangerous situation. It is very important that we make this our Woodhaven Senior Citizen Center structurally sound and fully repaired. In this way, our elderly once more will have their beautiful meet-ing place that we all worked so hard to give them.

Comm. Leaders Oppose Proposed SchoolBY JOE MARVILLIStaff Writer

Dozens of community leaders came together in Whitestone to fight against a possible public high school.

The proposed school on 150th Street near 5th Avenue drew about 150 people who shouted and protest-ed against the location on Oct. 2. The School Construction Authority had recently surveyed the old Whitestone Jewels LLC site, looking to build a school in the area.

The SCA did not tell any members of the neighborhood they were look-ing into the site for a school. It was only because community leaders wit-nessed the surveying that they found out and organized the rally.

While the community leaders who spoke knew there was a need for a new high school in the 26th School District, they said the site was inappropriate and the SCA was doing what it wanted with no regards for the community.

The area that is being proposed by the SCA has extremely limited pub-lic transportation options, a lack of sidewalks and is at the end of a police precinct. Community leaders also said a school would create an enormous amount of traffic and would remove many parking spots.

At the moment, the site is a grassy field closed to the public and waiting for development.

“This is absolutely insane. How can you turn a beautiful, wonderful property into a public high school? It doesn’t make sense to me,” Commu-nity Board 7 member Kevin Shields said.

Members of the Greater Whites-tone Taxpayers Civic Association, CB7, the Waterside Estates at Crest-haven Homeowners Association and more were joined by City Council

District 19 candidates Paul Vallone and Dennis Saffran at the rally.

Kim Cody, president of the GWT-CA, said he spoke to a SCA surveyor and asked him what other sites were being looked at. The surveyor said none.

“They aren’t looking anywhere else,” Cody said. “We have to show the City we’re not something they’re just going to walk over. It’s not the right thing to do.”

“When developers want to build something, you know what they do in the beginning?” Chuck Apelian of CB7 said. “They come in and they come to the board and say ‘what do you think?’ Why can’t the City of New York do the same thing?”

“We want the City to talk to us and not just do it in a vacuum and not just say we’re coming here. It should be about what all of us think together,” Debra Markell, president of Crest-haven Homeowners Association, said.

Both Vallone and Saffran agreed the SCA needs to change the way it does business.

“You did not include us. The pro-cess is wrong. That’s why we’re here,” Vallone said. “If you’re going to talk about a school in the heart of Whit-estone, why not talk to the heart of Whitestone?”

“While we absolutely need schools, the City has got to consider the effect on neighborhoods. It just isn’t the right kind of location,” Saffran said. “They should certainly be required to go through the same approval process as any developer.”

Community leaders rallied at the site on Oct. 5 again, the second of many they plan to hold.

A representative from the SCA said that the protests are premature.

“As we do throughout the City, we always take preliminary surveys of ar-eas where we have identified a need for new school construction,” Marge Feinberg of the SCA said. “This is just one area in the City we are surveying.

Community leaders rallied outside a lot at 150th Street near 5th Avenue, protesting the SCA’s surveying of the site as a location for a school.

We go through a public process before there is any approval on a particular site.”

Rozic Announces STAR Exemption WorkshopBY JOE MARVILLIStaff Writer

While many homeowners may be familiar with the basic School Tax Relief Program exemption, new leg-islation is requiring all homeowners to re-register with the New York State Tax Dept. in order to receive the ex-emption going forward.

To assist with this process, Assem-blywoman Nily Rozic (D-Hillcrest) will host a workshop and registration drive on Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Representatives from the State Dept. of Taxation and Finance and the City Dept. of Finance will be on hand for a brief presentation on the program.

Previously, homeowners who were registered for the STAR exemption did not have to re-register each year. The initial registration was all that was required. New legislation requires that all homeowners will have to do a one-time re-registration this year, in order to continue receiving the benefits for 2014 and onward.

The legislation is meant to cut down on rampant fraud in the system that could wind up costing millions of dollars.

The only ones who do not have to re-register are senior citizens who re-ceive the Enhanced STAR exemption.

“With new registration procedures in place, I urge homeowners to learn the new requirements and register as quickly as possible - my office will be here to help with any questions,” Ro-zic said. “Protecting the STAR pro-gram from fraud allows these savings to continue to help families keep more money in their pockets.”

The workshop was announced at a homeowner town hall that Ro-zic held along with U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) and Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens). City and State agencies, community groups and financial institutions made an appearance at the Armenian Church of Holy Martyrs in Bayside to answer questions from the local residents.

“I am glad that there are many agencies and their representatives to assist the community on these issues,” Michael Feiner, president of the Bay-side Hills Civic Association, said.

The workshop will take place at Rozic’s district office, located at 159-16 Union Tpke., Flushing. To RSVP, call (718) 820-0241 or email RozicN@

Fresh Meadows Library Closing For RenovationBY JOE MARVILLIStaff Writer

As new and revamped branches of the Queens Library open throughout Queens, another one is due to un-dergo some renovations starting this weekend.

Queens Library’s Fresh Meadows branch will close on Oct. 12 so it can install a radio-frequency identification check-in and check-out system. These advanced lending systems are being added to all of the libraries in the Bor-ough.

The upgrades are scheduled to last about three months, unless this win-ter’s weather delays the project. The library is due to reopen in the middle of January 2014. Funding for the ren-ovations was secured by Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens). The project will cost $998,000 in total.

Starting Oct. 21, a Mobile Library will be parked outside the Fresh Mead-ows and will provide limited service every Monday and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It will have a select amount of books available for check-out, will take book check-ins and will have a full array of reference services available.

This is the first renovation the library has undergone since 2000, where it had some major work done, according to the library’s director of communications, Joanne King. The library was given all new structural improvements, including everything from heating to ventilation to air con-ditioning.

As the RFID book borrowing sys-tem did not exist at that time, this new work is necessary. The RFID uses the same technology that is found in an E-Z Pass.

“It drastically cuts down on the time customers must wait in line to check books and videos out. At the same time, it frees staff to spend more time serving customers’ informational needs,” a library spokesperson said.

The Queens Library Foundation hosted its annual gala Monday night, where it once again received a great deal of financial and community support.

The gala was held on Oct. 7 at Wa-ter’s Edge Restaurant in Long Island City. More than 300 government and community leaders attended the gala, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The strong turnout was supplemented by more than $300,000 raised that night for the library.

“I think it was terrific,” Diana Chapin, executive director of the Queens Library Foundation, said. “We

Queens Library Foundation’s Gala A Successhad great response from all our sup-porters.”

Proceeds from the gala will sup-port the Future Fund, which is meant to make sure library materials and de-velopment resources for children are readily available.

The night’s success was the latest step in the foundation’s 25-year continuing mission to raise funds for free programs and services provided by the library.

“We respond to what is usually needed by the library to serve the pub-lic and the community,” Chapin said. “Sometimes we change our focus, but that is in response to what the com-munity needs.”

Many programs concentrate on help-

ing immigrants and children in Queens. The Adult Learner Program offers free services, resources and learning oppor-tunities for those in the Borough who speak little to no English. Best Out Of School Time works to improve the aca-demic and social skills of children ages 6 to 14. The Children’s Library Discov-ery Center, a two-story, 14,000 square foot building in Jamaica, combines the best parts of an interactive exhibit with all the resources of a library.

For their last fiscal year, the foun-dation raised more than one million dollars from 53 organizational donors and 2593 individual donors. As for the future, Chaplin said it is always pre-pared to change with the times and

with the library’s program choices.“I would anticipate in the future

that we will continue to be raising money for services for new immi-grants, for children and teens, for educational and job programs and for older adults,” she said. “Those are ar-eas that continue to be really needed by the community.”

A private college is set to move its headquarters from one area of the Borough to another.

Plaza College, a four-year university that offers majors including business ad-ministration and accounting, will relo-cate its campus to Forest Hills in 2014.

The university will take up part of the first floor and the entire second floor of Forest Hills Towers, at 118-35 Queens Blvd. That building was home

Plaza College Moving To Forest Hills Campusto the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA), who set up shop there in the months after Super-storm Sandy. The college is currently located in Jackson Heights.

After FEMA left the towers last year, Muss Development, who is leas-ing out the open space at the property, has launched a floor-by-floor leasing program, which will see several ten-ants move into the towers as opposed to one agency like FEMA.

“Our decision to shift to a floor-by-floor leasing campaign is already pay-

ing tremendous dividends,” said Jason Muss, principal of Muss Development, in a release announcing the move. “FEMA has been an excellent tenant and we have been proud to assist in their response to Sandy. Their pres-ence also gave us the time and oppor-tunity to re-think the best way to maxi-mize our opportunities at Forest Hills Tower. We are seeing strong demand for single and partial-floor leases.”

Charles Callahan IV, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Plaza College, said they chose Forest Hills because of

its central location in the Borough and accessibility to the subway and various highways.

“The move to the new campus will be a seamless transition for Plaza’s students, staff, and faculty,” Callahan IV said.

The school will be near the E and F trains. Thoroughfares like the Van Wyck and Whitestone Expressways will also be close by.

Forest Hills residents listened to a discussion on United States-Iran rela-tions Monday night.

The forum, called “Halting Iran’s Nuclear Program,” focused on the future of Iran’s nuclear program and what could happen to it under the country’s new president, Hassan Rou-hani. It was held by U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing).

The two main speakers of the event were Ambassador Mark Wallace and David Ibsen. Wallace is a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Ibsen is a former official at the

U.S.-Iran Issue Discussed At ForumU.S State Department. Both are now members of United Against Nuclear Iran, a non-profit organization that advocates stopping that country’s nu-clear program.

Wallace said that while U.S. and Iran relations have eased since Presi-dent Rouhani took office more than two months ago, he still has not stopped its nuclear program, which was one of the focal points of his cam-paign. He added if the two countries are unable to strike a deal by his 101st day in office, the United States should continue with the sanctions that have negatively affected Iran’s economy for years.

“If he wanted to end his nuclear

program, and truly make a deal with the west, he could have done it on his first day in office,” said Wallace, who is the executive director of UANI. “We’re of the belief that he should be tested on his first 100 days and on the 101st day, if there’s no deal, that we immediately continue more economic pressure.”

He later added that countries like Japan support the United States regarding this issue and he is hope-ful that Russia will back the U.S. as well, because they would benefit from Iran stopping its nuclear pro-gram.

Meng, who could not appear at the forum due to being called back

to Washington D.C., called into the event via Skype to discuss the issue. She said her goal is to ensure that Iran is not capable of developing nuclear weapons. She co-sponsored a bill that strengthens sanctions against Iran.

“While I don’t oppose our pursuit of diplomacy, I must insist that we remain clear-eyed and realistic about the Iranian threat,” she said.

Meng added the U.S. government must continue to use those tough sanctions in order to keep the country at the negotiating table.

Allergy season is behind us and before flu season strikes, now is the time for consumers to clean out their medicine cabinet and brush up on medication consumption and stor-age tips. A recent data brief from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that almost 50 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug per month.

“Many of us keep multiple medi-cations, both prescription and over-the-counter, in the house,” says JeQuithia Sims, pharmacy tech-nician program chair at Everest College in Arling-ton, Texas. “But when stored or consumed incor-rectly, medication can cause unexpected consequenc-es.”

Everest campuses across the country offer a pharmacy technician program that prepares students, through technical and practical train-ing, for careers in aiding licensed pharmacists. Here Sims shares 10 pharmaceutical best practices to keep in mind when organizing the medicine cabinet.

stands true for most medications. A few simple storage locations might be in a medicine cabinet, on top of a dresser or on a designated shelf. If you have children, be sure to keep medications up high and out of reach.

Keep away from light - Light can degrade medication more quickly than intended, so it’s important you don’t store medication in light-filled places such as a windowsill or under

powerful indoor lighting.Honor the expiration

date - Whether it’s an over-the-counter or pre-scription medication, old pills degrade over time and can cause a bacte-ria imbalance when con-sumed. Most medication expires after one year, so use this as a rule of

thumb when revisiting old pills. Do not flush - When disposing of

expired, discolored, or unused pre-scription medications, be mindful of proper disposal practices by throwing medications away in the household trash or through your community’s medication disposal program. One of the easiest options is to take your unused or expired medications to your pharmacy and they will dispose of them properly. Flushing or pouring medication down the drain harms the environment, as sewage systems are not capable of removing medicines

from the water released into lakes, rivers and oceans.

Using your medicationNote the warning label - Even

if you’ve taken the medication for years, it is always a good idea to look at the warning label for consumption directions, as your doctor may have altered your dosage or the manufac-turer slightly changed the consump-tion directions.

Consuming liquids is not the same as consuming water - If the label in-structs you to consume with water, be careful not to consume with other beverages. Juices and acidic drinks can cause the medication to break down faster than normal and hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, cause

coated pills to melt too quickly in the stomach - not the intestine, where it’s intended to break down.

Don’t lose the dropper - It might seem the same to use a household spoon with liquid medication, but the dropper or spoon provided by the pharmacy has been measured spe-cifically for your intended dosage. Research shows that silverware tea-spoons can vary between one to nine milliliters dependent upon design, making them an unreliable tool for medication.

Your pharmacist is your friend - Don’t forget that your pharmacist is an expert. When in doubt about the safety of consuming a medication for any given reason, your pharmacist is there to answer your questions.

Queens is well-known for its diverse cultures and nationalities, but a day-long event at Queens College last week displayed how the Borough is just as diverse in many other fields, including its neighborhoods, its entertainment scene and more.

“Quintessential Queens: Cel-ebrating America’s Fourth Larg-est City” was a special conference held on Oct. 4 at LeFrak Concert Hall on Queens College’s campus. The event was an exploration into what Queens is and a celebration of its diversity, vitality and heri-tage. Made up of a series of lec-tures that looked at the Borough from every angle, the seminar was part of Queens College’s 75th an-niversary.

“I felt like this was an opportu-nity to engage the community of Queens and to connect them more strongly to Queens College,” John Waldman, a biology professor who coordinated the event, said. “I felt one of the lingering questions about Queens that I hoped would emerge today would be just what is the identity of Queens. This is really in its own right, its own metropolis.”

The various speakers for “Quint-essential Queens” discussed top-ics that looked at the Borough from many angles. There were panels about Queens’ natural landscape, Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats from the Borough, its place in American history and its grow-ing literary scene today. Theatrical performances, poetry and com-ments from elected officials round-ed out the day.

Diverse PeoPleSome of the lectures focused

on the element that helps to make Queens unique: the variety of na-tionalities found in every commu-nity.

Andrew Beveridge, a professor of sociology at Queens College, talked about the massive chang-es in the Borough’s demographic throughout the last few decades. When the Immigration and Nation-ality Act of 1965 was signed into law, it forever changed the racial makeup of Queens and the nation. Many immigrants from Asia, Latin America and Africa made their way through the doors that had opened up, with a large number of them settling in Queens.

“Queens is really heavily for-eign-born,” Beveridge said during his address. “Only 40 percent of the people who lived in New York

in 1993 still live here. The turnover is just in-credible.”

According to Bever-idge, the top five coun-tries that immigrants come to Queens and New York City from today are China, Ecuador, Guyana, Columbia and India. Chi-nese immigrants have mostly settled in Flushing and Bayside. Ecuador-ians found their home in Jackson Heights. Guya-nese immigrants headed to Richmond Hill. Those from India planted their roots in Sunnyside.

“There’s a whole bunch of different groups, and the real trick is to try to have all these different groups live together,” he said.

While Beveridge looked at the various facts and figures on how Queens’ population had changed, Judith Sloan and Warren Lehrer went for a per-sonal perspective, telling the stories of the many different immigrants they talked to over the years.

Acting out excerpts from “Crossing the BLVD: Strang-ers, Neighbors, Aliens in a New America,” the two speakers looked into the extraordinary tales of immigrants.

Among the performances was the story of a dancer from central Asia who started her own dance stu-dio in the entrance to the 63rd Dr. – Rego Park subway station. Another one came from the perspective of the owner of Kebab Café, one of the first Egyptian eateries in the neigh-borhood. Its decorative storefront is well-known in the area.

Diverse NeighborhooDsJust like every ethnicity in

Queens has its own unique culture, every neighborhood in Queens has its own distinct looks and charac-teristics. As it is often said, people in Queens will list their neighbor-hood, not the Borough or City, when they are asked where they are from.

Nicole Steinberg, the editor of “Forgotten Borough: Writers Come to Terms with Queens,” went over the qualities of a few different neigh-borhoods throughout the Borough, taking the audience on a tour of several of its biggest communities.

The trek started in Long Island City, where Steinberg mentioned landmarks such as Silvercup Stu-dios, 5Pointz and PS1 MOMA.

“Once home to factories and

industrial buildings, the neighbor-hood has experienced a residen-tial boom over the past 20 years, with high-res condos, bars and restaurants popping up all over,” she said.

From there, the tour moved to Astoria. Steinberg said that one of the first things noted about the neighborhood is great Greek food, though she also mentioned its unique “old world meets hipster vibe.” Its affordability has attracted many young professionals and creatives, who are mixed in with its aging Greek and Italian popu-lation.

Jackson Heights was next, a neighborhood Steinberg said was a national historic district. Origi-nally built and labeled as a “lusher alternative to Manhattan,” many immigrants began to flock to the area due to its low rent. Steinberg said this led to it becoming “one of the most diverse residential areas in the entire country.”

She next focused on Jamaica, once an Irish immigrant stronghold that is now mainly Black, with more ethnic groups moving in every day. When major retailers left the neigh-borhood in the 1950s and 60s, the neighborhood suffered from high crime and a drug epidemic. How-

ever, Steinberg said the situation has continued to improve recently as developers have moved in.

The discussion then moved to Forest Hills and Rego Park, neigh-boring communities that are similar but also hold notable differences. Forest Hills is an upper-middle class neighbor-hood whereas Rego Park has more working-class residents. Accord-ing to Steinberg, many Holocaust survivors set-

tled in Rego Park after World War II.

Diverse ChalleNgesWhile much of the confer-

ence focused on the present and past of the Borough, one lecture looked towards the fu-ture, to see what challenges lie ahead.

Jonathan Bowles, the ex-ecutive director of the Center for an Urban Future, gave a speech called “Queens 2030: Imagining the Future,” where he talked about both what Queens is doing right and what problems have to be tackled.

Bowles began by praising Queens’ economy for its variety and balance. Five different job sectors account for eight percent of the job total in the Borough. New big corporations in Queens increased from 7,100 in 1991 to 16,000 in 2011. However, the economic stats are not all good news.

“We’re really struggling to cre-ate middle-income jobs,” he said. “But Queens has managed to re-tain blue collar jobs more than any other borough.”

Some of the biggest problems Bowles outlined dealt with qual-ity of life. He said quality of life is reflected in its schools and transit system, which he said were over-crowded and had poor connec-tivity, respectively. He also said Queens’ population is one of the oldest in the City, a problem that will grow in the next decade.

If the Borough is to thrive in the future, he added, it needs to be more forward-looking and aspira-tional to meet these challenges.

“There’s so much to build on in this Borough,” Bowles said. “May-be the next 20 years can be the time of Queens’ rise.”

While the music environment at St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Chil-dren is usually for the patients to use themselves, the room was used on Thursday for a special appearance by Nick Cannon.

The musician, philanthropist and host of “America’s Got Talent” visited St. Mary’s on Oct. 3 to meet the pa-tients and create a lead-in to a charity concert for St. Mary’s that took place that night. Before Cannon arrived, around 50 patients of St. Mary’s sat in the music environment and listened to performances by up-and-coming artists like Wonder Boyz, a rap duo, 4Count, a boy band, and Gabi Wilson, a singer/songwriter.

The children were very enthusiastic, cheering for every artist.

When Cannon arrived, he talked to the kids as a group for a minute before meeting each of them one-on-one. The entertainer was signing autographs, taking photos and shaking hands until all the patients had left.

“It’s such a pleasure to be here. This music room is awesome. We’re going to have an incredible time,” he said. “I can’t wait to get a chance to meet everyone.”

Cannon said that helping the youth is a very important cause to him, and that he was happy to meet so many of the kids.

“This is one of those things where it’s kind of near and dear to my heart. It is a passion of mine at the end of the day,” Cannon said. “Meeting the kids is the best part of the whole experience, and the staff too. When you think about the experience and whenever you can make these people have a smile on

their face when they’re going through tough times.”

Later that day, the three musicians and Cannon performed at “Nick Can-

The shopping center will host the first-ever CultureArte event on Oct. 12-13, which aims to celebrate His-panic culture during Hispanic Heritage Month. It is hosted by Macerich, the company that operates Queens Cen-ter, and LatinSphere, an advertising company that focuses on the Hispanic market.

The two-day event will include live music, dance performances and a fashion show.

Queens Center Celebrates Hispanic Culture

Join the party at the Louis Arm-strong Museum as it celebrates its 10 year anniversary on Oct. 15, starting at 6 p.m.

Known as the founding father of jazz, Louis Armstrong’s legacy will be celebrated with a special performance by The Hot Sardines.

The menu for the anniversary bash will include Creole creations based on Louis’ own recipes, prepared by the Cooking Channel’s Tamara Reynolds, a self taught cook and the owner of Van Alst Kitchen.

The museum will also unveil Louis Armstrong’s life mask, which has been recently restored and will be on display for the first time in the museum’s history.

“The life mask of Louis Armstrong, made in the 1950s, captures broad

scars on his lips, heavy bags under his eyes and deep creases on his fore-head,” said David Reese, the museum’s curator. “Viewing this plaster portrait is almost like seeing Louis’ real face, and it reveals his character as no other image can.”

The Louis Armstrong House Mu-seum’s anniversary bash will be held in the Armstrong garden at 34-56 107th St. Tickets ranging from $30, $45 and $100, include beer and wine, but must be purchased in advance. The $45 ticket includes a limited-edition com-memorative print of Louis Armstrong and $100 ticket includes the print plus a one-year museum membership.

Tickets can be purchased online at LouisArmstrongHouse.org. For more information, call the Louis Armstrong House Museum at (718) 478-8274.

non ROCKS Times Square,” a benefit concert for St. Mary’s that took place that same night at the Hard Rock Cafe. According to Leslie Johnson, director of communications and marketing at St. Mary’s, children from the hospi-tal’s afterschool program were able to attend the show. Some of the kids even got the chance to introduce the acts, along with Cannon. This is the second charity concert the hospital has held.

“We’re so honored to have Nick Cannon being the host and a performer and bringing all this incredible talent together for St. Mary’s Kids,” Johnson said. “We are thrilled that they can be a part of it, to help build awareness and raise funds for St. Mary’s Health System for Children.”

Aurora and Zon Del Barrio, a salsa music group, will headline the live per-formances at the event. They will be playing songs with another salsa legend, Larry Harlow. The dancing will feature “Dancing With The Stars” performers Yesenia Adame and Rodrigo Guzman, who will perform variously throughout both days. The fashion show will show-case clothing from several companies like Club Monaco, J.C. Penney and Steve Madden.

Dawn Bankert, the regional As-sistant Vice President of Marketing for Macerich, said they wanted to honor Hispanic diversity and culture and gear the event towards its large Hispanic shopping base. According to Bankert, 36 percent of people who go to shop-ping centers owned by Macerich are of Hispanic origin.

“We feel that it is relevant given the time period and hopefully it will enhance the shopping experience at Queens Center,” she said.

Bankert said the company was brainstorming ideas of what event they can put on their east coast properties as it is different for the shopping market in the western United States.

Harlow, who has been a performer for more than 50 years and has produced over 300 albums while singing in 50 of his own albums, said it is important to remember Hispanic culture especially with more Latin people moving to the United States each year.

“Pretty soon, it’ll be a bilingual town,” Harlow said.

Bankert said the performances will be kept to about 15-20 minutes each to keep the traffic in the shopping center moving throughout the day. She added their plan is to make it an annual event

at Queens Center and host similar events in their other properties if it is successful.

The event will run from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday while on Sunday, it will begin at 11 a.m. and finish at 8 p.m. The performances will begin at the top of every hour from noon until 8 p.m. on Saturday and noon until 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Anthony Mavilia

A documentary showcas-ing the craziness of “Linsanity” appeared on the big screen last week.

The popularity of former New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin was shown in a biographical movie entitled “Linsanity: The Jeremy Lin Story.”

Two years ago, Lin burst onto the scene, coming off the bench and becoming a promi-nent player on the team that year. His run was highlighted by scoring 38 points against the Los Angeles Lakers and hitting a game-winning three pointer against the Toronto Raptors.

Many fans, especially those of Asian descent because of Lin’s

When Anthony Mavilia creates art, he prefers to use media like charcoal and acrylics. The artist said that charcoal is “almost an exten-sion of the hand.” Given how ingrained art is in his life, it comes as no surprise that he would prefer a medium that extends that dedication.

Ever since he was young, Mavilia has spent his time drawing or painting what-ever caught his eye, even to the point where it got him in trouble in the classroom. But that enthusiasm paid off in the long run, as he pursued his interests through college.

“I remember my parents were proud of what I did and invited people to see my work,” he said “Eventually, I began taking classes at Parsons New School and the Art Students League.”

In 1991, Mavilia joined Abingdon Square Painters, an organization that offers a space where artists can work freely in any style they choose. While originally located in Manhattan, it ran into financial trouble due to rising rent in the late 2000s. Mavilia spearheaded a plan to move the studio to Long Island City. He is now the director of Abingdon Square Painters.

When it comes to art, Ma-vilia’s work is abstract and mood-setting, a preference that evolved over time. Origi-nally, he drew and painted in a realistic style, but grew to appreciate and take inspira-

Good news “Breaking Bad” fans. If you still have the “Breaking Bad” blues after September’s series finale, you can come relive your favorite moments at the Museum of Moving Image. The exhibit dedicated to AMC’s hit show will be open at the Astoria museum through Oct. 27. The museum had a sold-out gathering for the finale on Sept. 29. Museum admission is $12 for adults and $9 for senior and students. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tues-days. The Museum of Moving Image is located at 36-01 35th Ave., Astoria.

Asian-American background, flocked to Madison Square Gar-den and restaurants and bars to watch him play and “Linsanity” engulfed New York City in 2012, including the heavily-Asian Flushing.

Although many in New York barely pay mind to Lin anymore, he is no longer on the team as the Knicks declined to match an offer sheet made by the Houston Rockets, they can revisit that time by watching the movie.

Comptroller John Liu, a Flushing resident, has sent out emails promoting the movie and his appearance at its premiere last week in Manhattan.

We guess Liu is grasping for some attention since his bid for

tion from the abstract.“I also looked at and read

about Asian art. In those cultures, depictions of living things like bamboo and plum trees stand in for human values like flexibility and beauty under adversity,” he said. “My vine drawings are a way of dealing with the way that society coerces individu-als to conform to its values and restrictions and in some cases, suffocates individual aspirations.”

His work depicting nature was inspired by his own home setting, as he lives in a Kew Gardens complex situated in Forest Park. He is very involved in the community’s gardening.

“Most of the values that ap-ply to art - line, color, texture etc. - apply to a garden, with the added complexity that it is a three dimensional space which changes over time,” Mavilia said.

For those who wish to pursue art as well, Mavilia recommends that they take a good foundation course that will expose them to essential elements such as composi-tion, value, color theory and more.

“Drawing is essential as is daily practice, whether in a sketch book or at the easel or table,” he said. “It is also important to look at other art, both contemporary and historic, to inform one's taste and expand one's notion of what is possible in art.”

Special Performance

'Linsanity' Returns To New York City

To ensure the City grows as a global hub of technology and innovation, Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to a leave a tech-savvy legacy behind, by launching free public wireless networks in certain parts of the five boroughs, in collaboration with the New York City Economic Development Corporation.

One of the 10 commercial districts chosen is the warehouse-turned-tech-savvy-hub of Queens, Long Island City.

In addition to the launch of free public networks, WiredNYC will spearhead a program that consists of a rating platform that evaluates the broadband connectivity and infrastructure of office buildings.

The program will create a “LEED for broadband’ certification to give businesses information about a building’s connectivity. It also allows landlords to better market a building’s positives.

Long Island City Partnership, along with GOWEX, will install Smart Points to the corridors of Queens Plaza, Jackson Avenue and Vernon Boulevard.

The first informational session will be held on Oct. 16 from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Munducatis Rustica. For more information, email Dana Frankel at [email protected].

We at QConf are excited to see Queens on the map of the Smart Points initiative. With our newly-launched, revamped website (make sure to check out Queenstribune.com), the Wi-Fi initiative means that more folks will be able to check out our site wherever they are!

Not 'Bad' News

Musician Sonia Rao, who was featured on the first season of "The Voice," stopped by our office last week to discuss her new album, "Los Angeles, Part 1," and her time on "The Voice." Rao even performed for the staff. See video of the interview and her performance at the revamped Queenstribune.com.

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

ARE EXCESSIVE BANS

AND UNFAIR RESTRICTIONS

WORTH 9,000 JOBS?

The City Council is considering

new tobacco product display and

If enacted, these restrictions will

bodegas and newsstands.

It’s time to say “NO” to more

regulations and restrictions on

small businesses in New York City.
