After a group of 17 aerosol and street artists filed a lawsuit in an at-tempt to save the world renowned “Graffiti Mecca,” known as 5Pointz, in Long Island City, a Federal Court Judge granted them a 10-day restrain-ing order on Oct. 17, which prohibits the Wolkoff family from developing on the property.

The federal action, which was filed on Oct. 10, a day after the City Council approved a special permit that would allow the developers of G&M Realty to build a pair of high-rise luxury build-ings on a larger floor area, is the nation’s first in which graffiti artists have sought legal protection for their artwork.

Although Judge Frederic Block did not issue a hoped-for injunction, Ma-rie Flageul, a volunteer and spokesper-son at 5Pointz, said the restraining or-der is a relief and now they are waiting to hear Block’s next step.

Flageul said the outpouring of mor-al support from community members and tourists keeps their heads high.

To stop the developers from build-ing 1,000 apartment complexes that

includes a series of concessions – 200 affordable housing units, 12,000-square-feet of artist space and 10,000-square-feet of art walls solely dedicat-ed to the curator of 5Pointz, Jonathan Cohen – the lawsuit alleges to protect the 350 original works of art on the walls of the warehouse because of the

While there has been some talk of increases to the water rates for Queens residents, the Dept. of Environmental Protection says there are no plans to further hike costs this year.

The DEP outlined that while it had recently enacted a rate hike of 5.8 per-cent this past July, it will not consider another increase until next April, when it will review its finances and look into setting a rate.

The 5.8 percent water rate hike that took place this summer was the low-est increase in eight years, according to DEP director of communications, Christopher Gilbride. That number is down from the seven percent hike that went into effect last year. The jumps were in the double-digits for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. These large boosts have added up to a 78 percent increase since 2005.

Gilbride added that no further in-creases will take place this year, as the rates are set at the same time each year.

“Rates are set once a year in April. [The board] votes on it in May. If ap-proved, it goes into effect in July. We have no plans to set a rate until spring,” he said.

At the moment, the average amount a single-family homeowner pays is $991 per year.

Gilbride said that the water rate

increases have not been as drastic the last couple of years because of new technology and other money-saving methods the DEP has undertaken.

The automated water meter read-ers that have been installed allow the DEP to more accurately follow how much water Queens homeowners are using. The system is digital, cutting down on the need for estimating a rate when someone comes by to read the meter and no one is home. The meter also has a leak notification sys-tem that lets the DEP tell customers if there is a water leak costing them money.

The new meters have cut down on the amount of appeals from citizens about how much they are paying. The 4,306 appeals filed last year is the low-est amount in six years.

The DEP says it has saved hom-eowners $39 million since the system went into place, with a 62 percent re-duction in bills.

Some organization and refinanc-ing of the City’s water agency has also helped to lower costs. The oper-ating budget has been cut down by four percent, saving more than $15 million. The rental payments that the DEP owes the City for use of the water system have been capped, saving the agency another $12 million.

One of the most expensive thorns in the agency’s side has been mandat-ed projects. These are operations that the federal government requires to be

done, but does not help with in terms of funding. Between 2002 and 2012, 60 percent of the DEP’s spending was mandated, which it said cost the aver-age homeowner an extra $258 on his or her water bill. The agency is work-

ing with the government to reduce those mandates and build them on its own timeline.

1990 Visual Artists Rights Act and copyright law.

Jeannine Chanes, one of the two attorneys representing the group of graffiti artists, said the restraining or-der prohibits the Wolkoffs from tam-pering with the building and no artist is allowed to paint on the warehouse

for the next 10 days. She said she is hopeful that Block will announce a hearing for a preliminary injunction before Oct. 28.

Since there have not been many cases in violation of VARA, Chanes said Block is concerned with the law because it is counterintuitive, however she said Block is “definitely a judge for the 99 percent [because] he will help stand up for the little guy.”

During the next 10 days, while Chanes and Roland Acevedo, the sec-ond attorney handling the case, pre-pare artists to testify and work out different options for the future of the building, keeping the option of buying the property from the Wolkoffs on the table, 5Pointz remains open to visi-tors.

Chanes said the Wolkoffs argument in court is irrelevant under VARA be-cause it revolves around the hundreds of millions they would lose from the delay in demolition.

The developers of G&M Realty did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

DEP: Water Rate Hike Talks Are Premature

On Oct. 23, hundreds of new Yorkers from Queens to long island gathered at the Jamaica liRR station to celebrate the station’s 100th anniversary. as part of the ceremony, the historic transpor-tation hub was memorialized by Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, who officially marked Oct. 23 as “Jamaica station Day.” MTa and liRR executive board members were also on deck, re-vealing just some of the many anticipated infrastructure improve-ments in the upcoming years.

As the search continues to find the missing autistic teenager, it has been a grueling two and a half weeks for the parents of Avonte Oquendo.

He was last seen on a surveillance camera walking out of the Center Boulevard School in Long Island City on Oct. 4.

According to Detective Marc Nell, Avonte is five-foot-three-inches and weighs 125 pounds. Nell said the re-ward for Avonte’s safe return has gone up from $70,000 to $85,000.

Hundreds of police officers and volunteers have joined the search to find the 14-year-old boy who is unable to verbally communicate and requires adult supervision. He was last seen wearing a white Polo shirt with gray horizontal stripes, dark blue pants and solid-black Jordan basketball sneak-ers.

With hundreds of flyers posted on train stations and bus stops across the City, the New York Police Department has been scouring the subways, Cen-tral Park and rooftops.They have been conducting air and water surveys with helicopters and scuba divers, and even reaching out to psychics for help.

Avonte’s brother Daniel Oquendo, 26, recently left the City to return to

Autistic Teen From LIC Still Missing

his job in Orlando, but he said as the family continues to pray and support each other, they are thankful for the outpouring of support they have re-ceived from the City and the volun-teers.

“There is not much we can do right

now, except wait and hope there is some kind of lead that helps find my brother,” Daniel said.

David Perecman, the Oquendo family’s attorney, said they have filed a “notice of claim” with the City, in the first step in filing a lawsuit.

“His parents are more upset every-day,” Perecman said.

He said “this is a dangerous case” against the school because the school’s security guard and teachers should have better supervised Avonte during his transition from class to class.

When Avonte approached the front door of his school, the security guard told him to go back upstairs, but Avonte walked down the hall and exited the building from a side door, Perecman said.

Perecman added that the school should not have waited 45 minutes before calling the police to report the missing teenager.

According to reports, on Monday NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said if no headway is made in the search for Avonte within the next few days, the NYPD may start to scale back in their efforts.

So far, the police have received more than 200 tips and searched 60 registered sex offenders in Long Island City.

Anybody with any information is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS. You can also visit the Crime Stoppers website or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and enter TIP577.


A flyer of missing autistic teenager Avonte Oquendo was found on the corner of 14th Avenue and Clintonville Street.

It has been almost a full calendar year since Superstorm Sandy and many Queens residents are still re-building their damaged businesses and homes.

Oct. 29 will mark the storm’s one-year anniversary. Its powerful surge flooded several coastal communities in the City, including Howard Beach, the Rockaways and part of Long Is-land City in Queens, destroyed thou-sands of businesses and properties and changed many lives forever.

In the year since the storm, the re-building effort has been a mixed bag. Many in the affected areas have been able to get back on their feet, while others are still struggling to put the pieces back together.

Sapienza’s Deli, a Howard Beach eatery known for its pastrami sand-wiches, reopened in the neighborhood shortly before Sandy hit. The deli was closed for two years before reopening at its current location on Cross Bay Boulevard, close to the Joseph P. Add-abbo Memorial Bridge.

But for Sapienza’s, as was the case for many businesses in the neighbor-hood, Sandy forced them to strip down what was a brand new storefront and start over again.

The store’s co-owner, Anthony Ca-lore, said everything that was in the

store had to be thrown away because of the damage its equipment took on from the storm’s flood waters.

“Nothing could be salvaged be-cause that water was acid. It wasn’t water,” Calore said. “I don’t care if it didn’t get wet; it was still in the room. It had to go in the garbage.”

He said the deli took on about $40,000 in damage and was closed for one month and two weeks following the storm before reopening once again.

Calore also said Howard Beach is not quite the same as it was before the storm because there is not as much foot traffic on Cross Bay Boulevard, which has led to less profits for the

small businesses on the thoroughfare. “It’s not as busy as it was, Sandy

definitely did some damage to this neighborhood,” he said.

The story is similar for the Wynd-ham Garden Hotel in Long Island City.

The hotel was open for six months before Sandy and was closed for two months following the storm to repair damages.

Jeffrey Reich-Hale, director of sales and marketing at the Wyndham Gar-den, said the hotel was hit with a 14-foot surge of water through the first floor that led to extensive amounts of damage and lost revenue.

“Once we reopened, we started trickling back into business,” Reich-Hale said. “There was a lot of revenue lost, but there is nothing we can do be-sides put more sandbags.”

Reich-Hale said local hotels were very supportive during the storm be-cause they were liable to relocate about 80 guests.

Even though things are inching closer to normalcy in these areas, com-munity leaders and elected officials still believe more needs to be done to quicken the recovery for residents that are still reeling.

Betty Braton, Chairperson for Com-munity Board 10, which represents Howard Beach, said many residents cannot rebuild as quickly as they would like because they do not know when they will receive much-needed repair money from the federal government.

“If there is one word to describe the situation, its ‘uncertainty,’” she said.

The changes to the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps serves as another potential delay in rebuilding, Braton said, be-cause building requirements for their property might be affected depend-ing on what changes are made to that map.

In Our OpInIOn

Looking Back On SandyJust about a year ago, Superstorm Sandy slammed the City, causing millions of

dollars in damage and countless problems for an unprepared infrastructure. Twelve months later, despite discussions and plans, we are no closer to being pre-

pared for a strong storm than we were before Sandy hit our shores. Yes, we have identified problem areas and we have noted what should be done

to alleviate concerns, but those minor steps would undoubtedly be a small comfort should we be hit with another storm. City and State agencies continue to bicker over whose jurisdiction certain fixes would fall and while the government decides who gets to wield the red tape, residents of Queens are left waiting, hoping that Mother Nature grants us a reprieve until everything is settled.

With a new Mayor, a new Borough President and several new City Councilmem-bers being sworn in this January, we hope that protecting the interests of those who have suffered since Superstorm Sandy takes a priority, and is not just being used for political gain.

We also hope that we are not recovering from another storm by the time that happens.

In YOur OpInIOn

Op-ED

By Betty Braton It wasn’t so long ago when the

opening of the Aqueduct race-track was delayed by… pigeon poop. One official was quoted in a city newspaper in 2011, saying “There were pigeon droppings everywhere — on the floors, ceilings, walls, on every surface.” Think about how far we’ve come, as this month Resorts World Casino New York City celebrates a remarkable second anniversary. This milestone is an incredible achievement, and on behalf of Community Board 10, I would like to congratulate Resorts World and Genting for two years of notable success that has made the casino a leader in its industry and an integral part of our community instead of an eyesore and embarrassment for our residents.

Today, I can confidently say that Resorts World’s arrival in Queens is one of the best things to happen to our community, City and State. Right off the bat, seven out of every 10 dol-lars that the casino brings in heads directly to the State in taxes, most of which are used to support education.

Through the construction of its facility alone, the casino has transformed the once decaying Aqueduct site into a newly devel-oped Racino with state-of-the-art facilities that have revamped the area’s landscape. This redevelop-ment initiative also includes the recent construction of a new MTA subway station that makes the neighborhood surrounding the casino more accessible to each borough.

Furthermore, as the Chair of Community Board 10, it is important to me that any community member or business is conscious of the

An Anchor For Our Community

needs and concerns of com-munity residents. Despite initial apprehension around the casino’s arrival, in Resorts World we found a cooperative and mindful partner willing to communicate with members of the community and elected officials. Over the years, rep-resentatives of Resorts World have attended many commu-nity meetings and have always made an effort to answer ques-tions and alleviate concerns in an honest fashion.

Thanks to the casino’s com-mitment to hiring a local work-force, the Queens community has benefited from the creation of quality permanent jobs. Every dollar earned by local workers at the casino also benefits the economy in the area. Paychecks go towards paying rents and mortgages, buying local goods and services, and supporting our community’s families. Resorts World enables an anchor for our community and provides op-portunity for continual growth in the local economy.

In addition, Resorts World plays a very direct role in help-ing the local economy by giving local businesses the opportunity to partner with the casino for events and promotions. Nothing should be more important to us than the continued revitaliza-tion of our borough’s infrastruc-ture and economy.

Resorts World’s willingness to collaborate with our neigh-borhood, coupled with the enormous boost that the casino provides our local economy and its residents has made it a vital member of the Queens commu-nity and one whose partnership we will continue to value in the years to come.

Betty Braton is the chair of Community Board 10.

To The Editor:I t is long overdue, but the federal government is open and the debt ceiling is raised.

This is a welcome development for our country, but the damage caused is irreversible and was completely unnecessary.

Without repealing, delay-ing, or defunding the Afford-able Care Act, reasonable elected officials were able to avert a crisis that would have

plunged the U.S. into another economic abyss, possibly worse than the Great Recession. We’ve ended the nightmare that took an enormous toll on millions of Americans, and I hope those who led us there will never do so again.

Furloughed federal employ-ees can get back to work, and mothers, children, veterans and seniors will once again receive vital services that should have

Time To Move Forward After Gov’t. Shutdownnever been so callously taken away.

I hope the resolution to this shutdown is representative of the progress Democrats and Republicans will be able to make during the upcoming budget negotiations. We can solve the great problems facing our country, but we must resist the political extremists who will undoubtedly attempt to hijack the process again. Politics is the art of compromise, and rather than waging futile battles, both parties need to come together for the good of our country.

The deal that we passed should have been approved by September 30. But now that the shutdown is over and default has been avoided, we must get back to conducting the business of the American people, and solving the many important problems Americans need us to fix.

I’m just glad that we can finally move forward and put this sad and unnecessary chap-ter behind us.

Playground Clean-UpOn Oct. 19, Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas (D-Astoria), State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) and the Friends of Astoria Heights Playground led a volunteer effort to clean up Astoria Heights Park. The event was part of “It’s My Park Day,” a Citywide initiative, presented by Partnerships for Parks, which works with hundreds of community parks groups to lead clean up events in neighborhood parks across the City. Over 75 volunteers of all ages joined elected officials to improve the public space. Since Lynn kennedy, a local resident and organizer of Friends of Astoria Heights Playground, has vocalized the many issues us-ers of the playground experience, Simotas has urged the Dept. of Parks and Recreation to expedite the projects planned for the park’s safety and usability. “Parents demand that repairs be made - sooner than 2015- to make this park safer,” kennedy said. “Specifically, erosion con-trol, a need for gates, buckling mats, and sustained staffing are necessary. Healthy parks make for healthy communities.”

Clean-Up Held For Flushing Burial GroundBy JoE MarViLLiStaff Writer

Last weekend, the community cleaned up an old burial ground that has suffered from decades of neglect.

Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flush-ing), Green Earth Urban Gardens, the Queensboro Hill Neighborhood As-sociation and the Dept. of Parks held an “It’s My Park Day” event on Oct. 19. Volunteers worked on weeding, mulching and planting daffodil bulbs to beautify the Olde Flushing Burial Ground. The clean-up day was funded by a $500 donation from Koo.

Located at 165th Street and 46th Avenue, the Olde Flushing Burial Ground has been around since the late 1800s. It was used from the 1880s until its closing in 1898 as the final resting place for African Americans and Na-tive Americans, who make up 62 per-cent of its population.

“The conservancy has been focused on establishing it as a sacred site,” Maureen Regan, of Green Earth Ur-

ban Gardens, said. “What we came in to do is to work in partnership with the conservancy in bringing aware-ness to the community, to come and learn about their history, take part in it and maintain it.”

Green Earth Urban Gardens plans to clean up the site four times a year.

Mandingo Tshaka, the co-chair of the Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground Conservancy, said that the clean-up is a good start, but the per-ception of the site needs to change, so people do not treat it like a park.

“When you go by Flushing Cem-etery, you know it’s a cemetery. Those symbols are there. They need to put them in there. There’s more than a thousand people buried there,” he said.

Community Board 7 district man-ager Marilyn Bitterman said the board has been fighting with the City Design Commission to get an obelisk installed at the site, detailing its historical sig-nificance.

“It’s very important that we all re-member the racial history within our community,” Koo said.

PS 29 In College Pt. Gets New PrincipalBy JoE MarViLLiStaff Writer

The head of a College Point public school is no longer in charge, having left two months after a protest against her behavior.

PS 29 Principal Jennifer Jones-Rodgers resigned on Oct. 8, according to the Dept. of Education, two months after State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bay-side), parents, teachers and students held a rally against the principal.

Jill Leakey-Eisenberg will serve as acting principal. According to the DOE, Leaky-Eisenberg has more than 20 years of experience in education, including positions as an elementary school teacher, staff developer and literacy coach. She previously served as the assistant principal of PS 21, the Edward Hart Elementary School in Flushing.

The news will certainly be wel-comed by the parents and teachers who rallied against Jones-Rodgers back in August. At the protest, many accused Jones-Rodgers of violating Special Education laws, discrimina-tory and abusive treatment of students and parents, failing to provide copies of the budget to the School Leadership Team and the United Federation of Teachers Chapter Leader, using high-priced consultants who are not on the Dept. of Education’s recommended list, not following protocol for sched-uling fire drills and more.

Jones-Rodgers’ frequent use of re-taliation against those who question or go against her decisions was also brought up. One example mentioned was that the principal would remove the desks of teachers she disagreed with as punishment. Avella was particularly upset about was the disassembling of the school’s library and computer lab, the latter which he funded.

“I hope to work together with the new leadership at the school to address the needs of the school and to ensure that the students of PS 29 receive the education they deserve,” Avella said.

The DOE did not state a reason for Jones-Rodgers’ resignation.


Constantinides Plans For Astoria’s SafetyBy Trisha sakhuJaStaff Writer

On Oct. 22, Costa Constantinides, Democratic candidate for City Coun-cil District 22, unveiled a four-point plan to keep Western Queens safe.

Standing with civic leaders at Co-lumbus Triangle in Astoria, Constan-tinides said after knocking on 12,000 doors during his campaign, the most important concern the residents have is to continue to feel safe in Western Queens.

The former legislative director for Councilman James Gennaro (D-Fresh Meadows), Constantinides said since 2001 we have seen a decline in our po-lice officers, from 41,000 to 34,500, so his first priority is to come up with a comprehensive plan to hire more po-lice officers and firefighters with the next administration.

The second point on Constan-tinides’ plan is to continue to support the “common sense” gun control laws and term-limited Councilman Peter Vallone Jr.’s (D-Astoria) Gun Offend-er Registry Bill.

Constantinides said since “90 percent of the guns that come into our City are from states with relaxed gun laws,” he wants to come up with ‘common sense’ gun control laws that would respect the Second Amend-ment, like background checks.

“For sex offenders, we have a regis-try so someone knows if a sex offender moves in next to them, so we should have the same public records for il-legal gun offenders,” Constantinides said. “That’s just common sense for keeping us safe and informed.”

Constantinides’ third point is to pay the City’s uniformed officers a competitive wage and ensure fair con-tracts.

”It is a travesty to see this admin-istration has allowed the contracts of our uniformed officers to expire,” Constantinides said. “Our firefighters, policemen, detectives and correction officers are putting their lives on the line to keep us safe, and all they are asking for their families is a competi-tive wage and fair contracts.”

Last, but not least on the list of ideas to keep Western Queens safe, is saving neighborhood firehouses from closing.

“Closing firehouses should never be a political solution,” Constan-tinides said.

Constantinides’ list of contenders on Nov. 5 includes Green Party can-didate Lynne Serpe, Republican can-didate Daniel Paterson, Independent candidate Danielle De Stefano and Populist candidate Gerald Kann.

Mount Sinai Queens hospital will undergo an expansion with a new 125,000-square-foot multi-story building that will provide one-stop shopping for coordinated medical ser-vices.

The groundbreaking on Oct. 21 sig-nified more than just a new building for the hospital, Caryn Schwab, execu-tive director of Mount Sinai Queens, said.

After serving Western Queens for more than 100 years, the hospital will be transformed by NK Architects and Davis Brody Bond, LLP.

With a larger emergency room and surgical facility, the goal of the hos-pital’s expansion is to offer care that is patient-centered, high quality and value-driven.

“Our new building and modern-ization project epitomizes our goal of giving patients the highly-person-alized care of a community hospital, with easy access to world-class special-ists,” said Peter May, chairman of the boards of trustees of the Mount Sinai Health System.

The $125 million dollar project be-gan in August and is expected to be complete in 2016. Through the hospi-tal’s expansion, Mount Sinai officials estimate at least 460 construction-re-

Mount Sinai Hospital Will See An Expansion

lated jobs, 340 additional related jobs and 160 permanent jobs once the proj-ect is complete.

The expanded, state-of-the-art emergency department, which is named in recognition of the generous gift from the Stavros Niarchos Foun-dation, will feature 36 patient bays, eight observation beds, an off-street drive-through ambulance bay, a sepa-rate walk-in entrance and a new imag-ing suite.

Seven new operating rooms with the latest technology will also add to the expansion. In terms of out-patient

medical services, an integrated, multi-specialty medical practice with addi-tional primary care physicians in in-ternal medicine, family practice, OB/GYN and pediatrics will be added.

From the infrastructure perspec-tive, new boilers, chillers, emergency generators, new windows, cladding to the existing façade and central air conditioning can be expected after the project is complete.

U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Asto-ria) said she is proud to have supported this project from the beginning because it ties well with the healthcare reform.

“Today, healthcare reform will make it possible for millions of Ameri-cans to obtain what should be a fun-damental right in our country: access to quality healthcare,” Maloney said in a statement. “And that is what resi-dents in Western Queens and beyond can find at the current Mount Sinai Queens.”

David Reich, M.D., president and chief operating officer of the Mount Sinai Hospital, said he has seen the institution transform from a separate, community hospital into a state-of-the-art, fully integrated medical facil-ity.

“The people of Western Queens are fortunate to have a hospital that is adapting to the changes taking place in medicine today,” Reich said in a statement.

A showcase for the latest technol-ogy, a representative from the archi-tectural design firm Davis Brody Bond said “the design of the new facility re-flects a vision for what healthcare de-livery in the post-Affordable Care Act era will be.”

Mount Sinai Queens currently hosts 235 beds with a team of nearly 500 physicians representing close to 40 medical and surgical specialties and sub-specialties.


Officials mark the groundbreaking of the Mount Sinai Queens hospital expansion project, expected to be complete in 2016.

As the major candidates for Mayor have come out in favor of adding two Islamic holidays to the academic cal-endar, Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) is pushing to add another holiday to the mix.

Diwali celebrants across the world will light lanterns to symbolize the inner light to dispel ignorance and darkness on Sunday. But next year, the holiday falls on a Thursday and in 2015, on Wednesday, so thousands of public school students across the City will have to make a choice, whether to attend school or celebrate with their families at home.

Diwali or Deepwali, known as the festival of lights, is a five-day holiday celebrated across the world by mil-lions practicing Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism.

As Diwali is the most impor-tant festival on the Hindu calendar, Dromm held a press conference on Oct. 17 in Jackson Heights, along with State Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) and community leaders, to announce the Diwali School Holiday resolution he filed in July.

An award-winning journalist dis-cussed how hospitals reacted to two recent hurricanes and if they are pre-pared for a future storm.

Sheri Fink hosted a discussion on her new book, “Five Days at Memo-rial: Life and Death in a Storm-Rav-aged Hospital” at the Central Queens Y in Forest Hills Monday afternoon. Fink won a Pulitzer Prize in 2010 for reporting and publishing an article on which this book is based.

The book examines the different dilemmas hospitals face when caring for people during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and Super-storm Sandy. This includes determin-ing who is prioritized in terms of care and who should be evacuated first if patients in the hospital are trapped

due to the high flood waters. Specifically, it focuses on troubles

faced at New Orleans Memorial Medi-cal Hospital and similar problems at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.

In New Orleans, flooding from Ka-trina stranded many patients, forcing them to live on limited supplies while the city recovered in the aftermath of the hurricane.

As the flood waters rapidly grew, he-licopters and boats came to the hospital to rescue the stranded patients. But a dilemma was created after realizing that the structures could only fit a limited number of people. The question then became, who should be rescued first?

Fink posed this question to the au-dience, who gave multiple answers, ranging from babies and children to the critically ill patients and women who are in labor.

An investigation found that many

of the 45 bodies discovered at the hospital were injected with morphine and other drugs. Dr. Anna Pou and two other nurses were arrested and charged with killing the patients. The case never went to trial and the charg-es were dropped.

Fink said many of the same prob-lems affecting New Orleans and its facilities also applies to Superstorm Sandy and how New York’s infra-structure was unprepared for a storm of that magnitude.

“It was horrible to see some of the same kinds of problems playing out,” she said. “We saw that vital parts of the infrastructure were not protected and therefore the most vulnerable in our society were not protected from the effects of the storm.”

Last Friday, Democratic Mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio met with the Queens Tribune staff to discuss his platforms and ideas for the City, high-lighting the many ways his administra-tion would differ from Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration.

De Blasio, New York City’s Public Advocate and a Brooklyn resident, said that he was inspired to run be-cause he felt as though there were many inequalities in the City that he felt were unacceptable.

“I thought they were growing. I thought the status quo was unsup-portable in many perspectives. As a Brooklynite, I felt City government was overly concerned with Manhattan and not as much the other boroughs,” de Blasio said. “I thought this mani-fested in small business policy, school co-locations [and a] lack of focus of creating economic opportunity for outer borough folks who were strug-gling.”

As a public school parent, the highly-favored candidate said that he felt that these inequalities are particularly noticeable in the New York City school system. When asked if there were any particular policies of Bloomberg’s he would seek to overturn, de Blasio focused

on the recent co-location proposals.“Clearly, with more school clo-

sures, co-locations and truncations, I think that process has been done with-out meaningful parental involvement. I think that is wrong on its face and likely to yield bad results in terms of the outcomes of the co-locations and closures,” he explained. “But I also think it’s wrong because it undermines the possibility of meaningful parental engagement with our children, our schools, because they are being shoved to the side in the process of making decisions.”

Republican Mayoral candidate Joe Lhota said that due to a lengthy Dem-ocratic primary battle, the positions of his opponent, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, are more widely known than his throughout the City. To help get his own policies and ideas out there, Lhota sat down for an in-depth inter-view with the Queens Tribune edito-rial board.

Going over problems in Queens with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, development, Stop and Frisk and education, the candidate outlined his vision for the City’s post-Bloomberg years under his adminis-tration.

Having served as the chairman of the MTA, Lhota said that expanding the system in the outer boroughs has to be a top priority. During his time with the transit agency, Lhota said he reversed half of the budget cuts made by his predecessor, Jay Walder. This reversal was supplemented with the expansion of bus service in Little Neck and Douglaston.

“There are numerous subway lines which we need to seriously consider extending. As Jamaica has become a larger employment sector of the Bor-ough, we also need to be able to get bus

De Blasio, who referred to the ad-ministration’s progress on education as a “mixed bag,” also noted that if he were elected, he would like to hire a completely different Schools Chan-cellor, although he does not yet have someone in mind.

“[I would elect a] different chan-cellor [with] different policies on co-locations [and] different policies on standardized testing,” he said. “I want to move away substantially from the Mayor’s orientation there and go down the list.”

Although de Blasio criticized the

service there,” he said. “Our servic-es need to be changed to fit where people live, where they work.”

Any such expansion would need funding, which the MTA does not have past 2014, since that is when its latest five-year capital plan ends. While Lhota would do what he could to fund the system as Mayor, he said Albany must get involved.

While he talked about building up City transit, Lhota also discussed more traditional development in Queens, touching on controversial issues like Willets Point. He said he does not approve of the constantly shifting nature of that project.

“It keeps changing every time I look at it. It’s too confusing,” he said. “I do believe [Willets Point] needs to be reclaimed and cleaned and renovated. The people who have busi-nesses there need to be paid. The idea of all the changing plans is not help-ful.”

Lhota also brought up a key differ-ence between himself and de Blasio in terms of plans for more affordable housing in the City. Lhota would like to make developers dedicate at least 20 percent of their units to affordable housing if they ask for a variance from the City. He said de Blasio’s idea takes it a step too far.

“Bill wants to go one step further, and basically say that anything that’s built in the City of New York will have affordable housing. I am of the point-of-view that that is taking of one’s property,” Lhota said.

Stop and Frisk has been another hot-button issue in this year’s may-oral race. While de Blasio wants to completely overhaul the polic-ing tactic, Lhota said changes have already been made. He said stops have been reduced by 40 percent and the training for police officers has changed three times to make sure they

do not overstep their bounds.“There’s been an enormous

amount of work done there. They’re not talking about it and I don’t understand that. It’s about enhanced communication. We need more of it in New York City, not less,” he said.

The candidate strongly criti-cized the City’s education policy, saying that he believes in Mayoral Control but thinks the students are getting a subpar learning ex-perience. The two main reasons for this problem, he said, are a lack of communication from the Dept. of Education and a lack of training for public school teach-ers.

He mentioned that charter schools require teachers to have pro-fessional development and training three to five hours every week of the school year, while public school teach-ers only have four hours of the same training per year. This is one of the big-gest education statistics Lhota wants to change. Another one is the fact that 81 percent of students who wanted to go to community colleges were deemed incapable of doing college-level work, a number he found unacceptable.


administration’s attempt to pile so many co-locations and closures just months before Bloomberg’s 12-year term comes to an end, he did highlight some of the administration’s positive impacts.

“I think they started propitious-ly,” he explained. “I think they start-ed strongly with Mayoral Control of education – which I do not like the way they implemented it at all, but I think the achievement of May-oral Control is necessary and impor-tant.”

Other key points during the in-terview included development in the Borough, particularly the develop-ment proposal at Willets Point. De Blasio, who voted for the original plan, said he saw progress, but that it was not enough.

“What we hoped for didn’t happen, in terms of time and impact on afford-able housing,” he said. “I don’t think this has been a very appealing process or set outcome so far and I think com-munity leaders and elected officials did a good job trying to force the issue and get more into the project, which I commend them for. I still am not hap-py with what I see as far as how long it is going to take for affordable housing alone.”

On Election Day, Queens voters will help determine if New York State judges can serve in the courts longer, increasing the maximum age to 80.

New York is one of 15 states in the nation that has a retirement age for judges, ending in their mid-70s at the latest. A proposed amendment to the State’s Constitution may adjust the standard though, giving justices of the State Supreme Court and judges of the Court of Appeals the opportunity to add more terms until they are 80 years old.

A Justice of the Supreme Court would be eligible for five additional two-year terms after the present re-tirement age of 70, instead of the cur-rently-allowed three additional terms. Therefore, Supreme Court judges would have to retire at the age of 80, rather than 76.

A judge of the Court of Appeals would be permitted to remain on the Court for up to 10 years beyond the present retirement age of 70, in order to complete the term to which that judge was appointed. Each judge in

the Court of Appeals must retire on the last day of December in the year he or she turns 80. The governor would not be able to appoint a judge who has reached the last day of December in the year which he or she hits the age of 70.

As part of applying for an exten-sion, the justices would have to pass a health review and would be subject to hearings and testimonies from people who had dealt with them in the court recently.

There are hopes that increasing the age limit would help to mitigate the 31,000 cases pending in the State Supreme Court alone. According to the Hon. Jeremy Weinstein, admin-istrative judge of the Queens County Supreme Court’s civil division, the Of-fice of Court Administration requires courts to hear cases within 15 months from their filing date. Court filings have increased 56 percent in the last three decades.

“The volume we deal with is stag-gering. And having the ability to deal with it is more of a challenge with few-er resources,” Weinstein said.

According to the Office of Court Administration, around 40 judges

Voters will soon decide whether or not full-scale table gaming will be al-lowed in New York State.

The casino amendment is one of six propositions residents will cast their ballot on during the Nov. 5 elections.

The proposition would allow full table gaming in casinos in New York State, which would open the door for sit-down gambling games like black-jack, craps and poker offered at casino havens like Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

Earlier this year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his plan to bring seven casinos to New York. Four of those casinos would be allocated to upstate New York. Under his plan, upstate New York would be divided into six regions and four of those ar-eas would get a casino. Each region would not have more than one casino. If the proposition passes, these future casinos would be allowed to have full gaming from the time they open.

“Our state has a unique opportuni-ty to revitalize the local economies of communities in upstate New York and create thousands of new jobs where they are needed most,” Gov. Cuomo said in May. “For years, neighboring states like Connecticut and New Jer-sey have benefited from New Yorkers leaving our state to visit their gaming facilities. We want to reverse this trend by putting new resort destinations in upstate New York.”

New York To Vote On Casino Proposition

who would be forced to retire in the next four years will be able to stay on the job if the amendment passes.

The number of cases in fam-ily courts has skyrocketed since a similar proposal to this one failed to pass in 1983. If judges are able to stay on longer, Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman would dedicate the added manpower towards those cases, ac-cording to Dennis Hawkins, execu-tive director of the Fund for Modern Courts.

Citizens Union, a nonprofit good government group, said this is not a sufficient way to deal with the over-crowding of family courts though, saying new judicial seats are needed, not transfers that include Supreme Court judges.

While it may seem like having more judges staying on the job lon-ger would put pressure on an already tightly-funded system, Hawkins said the increase in payroll would come to about $10 million, equal to .06 percent of Lippman’s budget.

“If the only increase is .06, it really is not something that will break the bank,” Hawkins said.

While New York prohibited man-

datory retirement in the private and public sectors in the 1980s, judges were left out of that ruling; a situation Hawkins said is unfair due to the lack of similar limits on the other branches of government.

“There’s no mandatory retirement age for the governor. There’s no man-datory retirement age for the legisla-tures,” he said. “There’s no reason why individuals in their late 70s who are capable can’t continue to operate in their judicial capacity.”

Citizens Union took the position that the changes actually do not go far enough, saying that the amendment is too selective in whose retirement age gets raised.

New Yorkers will vote on the pro-posal, along with five other referenda, during this year’s General Election on Nov. 5.

“The benefit of this is not to the judges and not to the attorney, but to the public,” Hawkins said. “When your case can be handled quickly and with fewer delays, you’ll be handed the justice you deserve.”


The news of Cuomo’s plan was not music to the ears of City legislators. As part of his casino plan, there could be more casinos coming to New York City, but only after a seven-year wait-ing period. The remaining three pro-posed casinos would be allocated after that waiting period.

Both State Sen. Joe Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) and Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Ozone Park) have champi-oned for Resorts World Casino to get full gaming because they say Resorts World is a proven community partner and it would benefit the City’s economy.

The pair both expressed concern about whether or not the proposition will pass.

When asked about its chances, Addabbo said it is “50-50” that it will pass because interest in a proposition is generally lower than voting on an election for elected office. This might also apply to voters upstate, according to Addabbo, as turnout might be low-er as there are not as many contested seats up for grabs, compared to the City, which has Mayor, Public Advo-cate and several City Council seats.

Goldfeder said, based on the num-

ber of people he has spoken to in his district, he does not think it will pass be-cause many are concerned about Resorts World and the City being a part of its immediate plans for table gaming.

“I think the voters here feel left out and they’re go-ing to show that on Nov. 5,” he said.

One group, the Coalition Against Gambling in New York, opposes the casino proposition and gambling in the State as a whole.

The group’s chairperson, Stephen Shafer, said voting for the amendment would open the door for more people in New York to be-come addicted to gambling, which can be a prominent problem for a small number

of people who frequent casinos. He said that gambling addiction

can ruin their lives and those around them because they crave money to sat-isfy their addiction.

“They ran out of their own money long ago and they are using someone else’s instead,” Shafer said.

He believes the State government should invest in helping people with a gambling addiction and promoting tourism to New York as well.


Amendment Seeks Judicial Age Extension

A proposed amendment could allow full-table gaming at casinos like Resorts World, if passed by voters next month.

A Simple Pizza Slice Of Heavenrestaurant review

Leisure


Just in time for the New York City Wine and Food Festival, Joe Bastian-ich, restaurateur, vineyard owner and author, partnered with Progresso as they expand their line of soups with the introduction of Artisan Soups.

Bastianich said he spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his family while growing up in Queens.

“We grew up in a middle-class neighborhood, first Astoria and then Bayside,” Bastianich said.

“We had a garden in the back, where we grew tomatoes and made wine in the garage,” he said. “We had a little slice of Italy in Queens.”

He is the son of restaurateurs Fe-lice and Lidia Bastianich. His mother is a self-made cook, turned culinary celebrity.

“Food has been the guiding light in my life,” Bastianich said.

Bastianich and partner Mario Batali own eateries in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Singapore. They most recently opened Eataly in 2010 in the City, which consists of seven restaurants into one.

Along with many tasteful eateries, he has established three wineries.

“On the Italian table, wine and food together are a part of the complete meal,” Bastianich said. “It is part of the culture.”

Since embarking with Progresso’s Artisan soup line that consists of vegetable bisque and hearty soup va-

rieties, Bastianich said the partnership ties very well into his upbringing in an Italian-American family.

“Progresso has been around the house and in my life for as long as I can remember,” Bastianich said.

He said it reminds him of an Ital-ian grandma using Progresso beans to make her pasta fagioli or min-estrone.

“There is a lot of trust around that brand,” Bastianich said. “The Italian immigrant story is the Progresso story.”

Bastianich said his kids like the Creamy Tomato Soup with the roasted red peppers and he likes the Masala Curry Butternut Squash with roasted butternut squash enhanced with warm curry spices, coconut milk and a small kick of cayenne.

Bastianich said he recognizes the growth in the number of restaurants opening in Astoria and Long Island City.

“When I was growing up, those were abandoned neighborhoods. The young population is fueling the demand for all the restaurants,” Bastianich said. “It shouldn’t all be in Brooklyn and I have always won-dered why not Queens and finally its happening in Queens too. I think it’s about time.”

“And everyone knows Queens has the best bagels in the world,” he added.


Astoria Restaurateur Partners With Progresso

By Luis Gronda Staff Writer

Several restaurants along Austin Street and other areas will get to show-case its delicious food next month.

The first-ever Forest Hills Restaurant Week will take place between Nov. 3 and Nov. 9. It will be hosted by the For-est Hills Chamber of Commerce and the Queens Tribune.

During that week, establishments

will offer special three-course, price-fixed lunch and dinner meals to its customers. Nine restaurants will take part in the festivities, including 5 Burro Café, Exo Café and Bareburger.

Leslie Brown, Executive Director of the Forest Hills Chamber of Commerce, said many restaurants have opened in the neighborhood in the last 18 months and this event gives them, along with the more established eateries in the area, a chance to showcase what they have to offer.

“It’s becoming more and more of a restaurant destination,” Brown said. “We’re hoping they will want to come back and visit more often.”

Prices for the restaurant week vary depending on the time of day. Accord-ing to Brown, the three-course dinner meal will cost $25 to $35, depending on the restaurant. If you prefer a cheaper option, the three-course lunch meal will cost $15. Brown added that restaurants will choose which of the meals they will take part in. Some will offer both lunch and dinner, while others may choose to only serve one of those meals as part of the event.

Brown said they hope to host the event multiple times in the future if this year’s showcase is considered a success.

The other six restaurants partici-pating in the event are 718 Hookah Lounge, Forest Hills Station House, Banter Irish Restaurant, Mr. Vino’s Cucina, Fuji Japanese Cuisine and Portofino Ristorante.

For more information, please con-tact the Forest Hills Chamber of Com-merce at (718) 268-6565.


Sometimes, the best food and the best deals can be found in the simplest places. This is the case for Pizza Club, a Flushing pizzeria that offers delicious, filling food for a great price.

The cozy establishment is perfect for either grabbing a slice on the go or sitting down for a quick lunch. It has the look of a traditional piz-zeria, with a brick-oven in the back and several courses on display at the counter, but the food is far above ordinary.

The specialty slices stand head and shoulders above the usual suspects. How about trying a white Ricotta cheese pie? Maybe pizza alla vodka (pizza made with vodka sauce) is more to your liking? These options and more are available.

I knew I could not limit myself to just one type of slice. I ordered a buffalo chicken slice, a cheese ravioli slice and a regular slice, along with an order of garlic knots,

to get a nice overview of their wares. When the food was ready, I was not disappointed.

It turns out that ravioli, with its cheesy interior, makes for a fantastic

pizza topping. The ravioli was an excellent extra layer that felt like a nice surprise after each bite. The buffalo chicken was somehow even better than the ravioli. The slice felt weighed down from the amount of chicken, making this mouthwater-ing slice a meal in itself. The regular slice and the garlic knots did not disappoint either, proving that old favorites could still impress.

Besides the excellent food, Pizza Club has some amazing deals as well. If you want to order pizza and it happens to be a Monday, then Pizza Club should be the first phone call you make. If you call between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and order a large cheese pizza pie, the price you pay matches the time when you ordered!

So if you are ever walking down Francis Lewis Boulevard and you are in the mood for great pizza, head to Pizza Club. No matter what slice or toppings you choose, you will leave feeling satisfyingly full.

Ballroom Jacks

One Springfield Gardens couple has been living with seven uninvited guests – and they are not the seven dwarfs.

Patricia and Lavanda Gilbert say that a family of raccoons has been tormenting them for more than five months.

And on Oct. 11, one ballsy 15 to 20 pound raccoon made quite an entrance into the Gilberts’ home – he fell through the roof of their bedroom at about 6 a.m.,

While brothers may argue and their personalities can appear to be miles apart, they often comprehend each other better than most people.

When that sense of un-derstanding is used to work towards the same goal, those individuals have a dis-tinct advantage. This is the case for Ballroom Jacks.

Ballroom Jacks is an alternative rock and roll band based in Astoria. The group is composed of Will Arland (singer/guitarist), Ben Arland (bass) and Conor McGlone (drums). While the two Arlands have been writ-ing together for a few years, the addition of McGlone helped the band to really come together.

“I had been writing songs since I was 17, then Ben and I started playing in our parents’ garage in high school,” Will said. “Ben and I started playing with Conor

Drivers in the Borough are seemingly treating the roads like they are competing in a NASCAR race lately. According to police, the NYPD issued 736 summonses for speeding last week during a citywide crackdown last Friday through Sunday. Queens received the most speeding tickets out of the five boroughs, where authorities wrote 266 summonses in total. The Bronx had the second most with 213. The tickets left Queens drivers reeling at the wallet as well, as the tickets ranged from $90 to $600 according to the NYPD. The crackdown is a part of the City’s effort to slow down drivers all over the City. Law enforcement has established 14 neighborhood slow zones and will approve 15 more in the near future. The slow zones promote safer driving includ-ing lower the speed limit in the area that it is established. Hopefully, drivers in Queens will take note of the crackdown and pump the brakes a little while driving. After all, this isn’t the Daytona 500 or anything like that.

Famous British-based street artist Banksy put his mark on the side of a building in Wood-side, but a day later, his artwork was defaced with slur words, like “F*** You Banksy.”

Banksy has tagged many spots in Manhattan and Brook-lyn for the past month, but he traveled to Queens on Monday

scattering pieces of sheetrock over the couple’s bed.

Even after the chubby rac-coon unexpectedly dropped by, the Gilberts still have not been able to get rid of the intruders, who make their way back to their nest in the attic every day at around 5 a.m.

The landlord has still not fixed the ceiling, and ASPCA and the NYPD have offered little assistance to the family.

to splash the side of a building at 38th Avenue and 69th Street with color.

He painted a man holding a bucket in one hand and a sponge in the other. The sketched man was shown trying to scrub off graffiti from the wall that said, “What we do in life echoes in Eternity,” a line from the 2000

in 2009, but we started calling ourselves Ballroom Jacks after a month of playing in the garage in 2006.”

While being in a band with a sibling is tough sometimes, Will said their work is helped out by the fact that all three of the band members have the same vision for their music.

“It has ups and downs, we argue constantly, but at the same time, we are really on the same wavelength, all three of us are actually,” he said. “But with all the back and forth, it allows you not to have to tip-toe around each other so our work can develop in a way that’s uninhibited.”

That work has developed into a sound similar to the band’s influences, a mix of 1980s new wave, 1960s girl groups and Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound. Whether it is in the studio or onstage, the band enjoys the process of sharing these tunes with their audience.

“We really look forward to

playing our music for people who are right in front of us, that's the feeling we chase after,” Will said. “But it’s re-ally romantic to think that what you are recording will be experienced by someone on their headphones when they are going to work, or in their bedrooms.”

Based in Astoria, the neigh-borhood is where Ballroom Jacks finished its first EP, giving the band members a strong connection with the area. As they are immersed in the community, Will said it is tough to tell what impact it has had on the band, but at the very least, it has offered them the opportunity to play showcases like the CMJ Music Marathon.

“We feel really lucky to have two showcases and that so many people come out to see rock and roll music and everything else,” Will said.

Ballroom Jacks will be playing at Arlene’s Grocery in Manhattan on Oct. 25 and Meade’s Pub on Oct. 29. Keep an eye out for a new EP and possibly a Christmas song in the coming months.

movie, “Gladiator.” By Tuesday, the work was

vandalized with red and black graffiti. Surprisingly, street art-ists weren’t too thrilled with his work.

However, unsurprisingly, Mayor Michael Bloomberg did not appreciate Banksy defacing someone else’s private property. Earlier last week, Bloomberg said at a press conference, even though he is a big supporter of the arts, graffiti is not his defini-tion of art, or it may be art, but it should be permitted.

What surprises us the most is why Banksy didn’t go to 5Pointz in Long Island City to mark his territory, because it would have been considered “legal graffiti.”
