Pinewood Derbyby Nami Russo

The Pinewood Derby is a long-standingtradition with the Cub Scouts. For Pack 390,it was the Tiger Den’s first experience, whilethe Wolf, Bear and Webelo dens were sea-soned pros.

All month long, the scouts have beendiligently working on their derby cars -cutting, sanding, painting and designing.The excitement of watching their own carrace was just as exhilarating as cheering ontheir fellow pack brothers.

At St. Stanislaus School, the 8th AnnualBill Smallwood Memorial Derby was memo-rable for the Scouts of Pack 390 Woodside.

Soap Box Derbyby Nami Russo

Pack 390 celebrated the warm weekendweather racing their Cub mobiles at the2014 Pathfinder Soap Box Derby at PS 144in Forest Hills. It was the 2nd Annual Brad-

ley Cup and Pack 390 was among sevenpacks represented by dozens of Scouts.

There were scrapes and crashes and over-all fun. Congratulations to Pack 390’s JackM and Joshua J for coming in First andSecond respectively for the Bears.MichaelO’Sullivan, Isamu Russo, Manny Jeffcoat.

As part of the fun, clowns fromthe Big Apple Circus will be doingmagic tricks and giving away free

red clown noses to all attendees (orat least those who want one). Plus,QEDC and the Queens HistoricalSociety will host a table dedicatedto showing memorabilia from the1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs, bothof which took place in FlushingMeadows Corona Park.

Finally, there’s the networking.QEDC hopes that at least 1,000people will attend, and most of themeither live in Queens or do businessin the borough. So Queens Taste2014 provides the perfect scene tomeet like-minded individuals, talkshop and exchange business cardsin a friendly atmosphere.

“I look forward to Queens Tasteall year,” said QEDC ExecutiveDirector Seth Bornstein. “It is sofun on so many levels. The food.The drinks. The people. The venue.The celebration.”

They were also able to visit theinside of the Tent, with toursthroughout the day run by volun-teers from the Pavilion Paint Project.

In the last 50 years, FlushingMeadows Corona Park has grownfrom the site of the Worlds Fair tothe home of the Worlds Park, saidQueens Parks Commissioner Dor-othy Lewandowski. As we celebratethis anniversary, it is just as impor-tant that we look to the next 50years and plan for the Parks future.I would like to thank the NationalTrust for Historic Preservation forhonoring the New York State Pa-vilion as a National Treasure. Thisdesignation will highlight the im-portance of the Pavilion as a na-tional icon, and help us to continuethe conversation about how it canbest serve Queens residents.î

This day marks an event of therebirth of the New York State Pa-vilion, said Pavilion Paint ProjectFounder John Piro. We are deter-mined to bring back the excite-ment and energy that 1964 NYWorlds Fair brought to Queensand the City of New York.î

The New York State Pavilionwas originally built for the 1964-65 Worlds Fair. It consisted of theTent of Tomorrow, three Observa-tion Towers and the Theaterama,which is now the Queens Theatre.During the Fair, the ObservationTowers held a snack bar, gift shopand viewing areas, with the tallesttower perched

226 feet above the fairground.

The Tent of Tomorrow was anopen exhibition space, highlight-ing New York attractions and host-ing performances.

The Tents floor was designedas the worlds largest map, depict-ing the entire State of New York interrazzo paving with 567 panels,each weighing 400 pounds. Themap was sponsored by Texaco, soalong with towns and roads it alsoshowed the locations of thecompanys gas stations.

In 2006, conservationists fromthe University of Pennsylvania,working with the NYC Parks, be-gan a multi-year effort to preservethe map and restore some of itspanels. Fourteen panels were re-moved for analysis and 4 panelswere restored. The sections of thefloor that remained on site werecovered in layers of sand, fabricand gravel as a conservation tech-nique in order to preserve them

In recent years, NYC Parks hascompleted several engineeringstudies of the Pavilion structures.The latest, finished in 2008 and2012, found that both the Tent andTowers are structurally sound, andestimated that it would cost ap-proximately $40 million to pre-serve the structures as architec-tural elements and approximately$50 million to preserve the struc-tures while also restoring publicaccess. In 2013, Parks began theprocess of holding public meet-ings to both share the results of thestudies and start a discussion onthe future of the space. This wasfollowed by three public listening

sessions and an online survey inJanuary of 2014.

As part of the celebrations ofthe 50th and 75th anniversaries ofthe Worlds Fairs, NYC Parks willbe hosting a free festival on May18, featuring World’s Fair memo-rabilia; tours of Fair buildings,sculptures and structures includ-ing the Pavilion; and internationalfood, music and dance. The daywill be capped with a live concertand fireworks.

For more information aboutFlushing Meadows Corona Park,the New York State Pavilion and

the May 18 festival, including acomplete listing of activities, visitnyc.gov/parks.

A variety of other cultural insti-tutions will also be holding eventsover the next six months in celebra-tion of the Worlds Fair anniversa-ries. A list of these events can befound at itsinqueens.com/worldsfair.

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,the Bronx), Vice Chair of the Demo-cratic Caucus, announced the intro-duction of H. Res. 552, a resolutioncommemorating the 50th anniver-sary of the 1964 New York World’sFair and recognizing its lasting

legacy in not only technology, in-dustry and entertainment, but in thehearts and minds of Americans.

“The 1964 World’s Fair is asource of pride for the people ofQueens and throughout the City ofNew York,” said Rep. Crowley.“That’s why I am introducing aresolution that honors the legacyof a key moment in our country’shistory. With its themes of peaceand progress, the fair reflected ournation’s diversity, showcased thevery best in American ingenuityand lifted up our country during atumultuous time.”

FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2014 THE WOODSIDE HERALD PAGE 5(continued from front page)

“Make Your Mark” Mini Kids Art FestThe group’s initial participants met Sep-

tember 17 of last year in Van Bramer’s office.The Sunnyside Woodside Boys and Girls

Club, and architects Lloyd DesBrisay andChad Smith had already been working on acultural and recreational proposal to servethe many children needing a place for art,activities and sports. Also attending wasTrevor Bowen, who with Melissa Orlando,Nick Reiner and Pat Dorfman, have foundeda organization called artspaceQ, to networkartists of all disciplines in the neighborhood.

Joining soon after was Unplug Kids,who run local arts programs for childrenand whose co-founder and designer AdaChan designed the “Make Your Mark”poster. The larger group began to meetindependently with space courtesy of lo-cal churches, and welcomes all other artsand children’s groups who want to worktogether to build more spaces forartmaking and to help one another reachmore people in Western Queens. JudsonJones who runs Theater East, and hasbeen an active member, noted, “Art existsto serve the community.”

Having all the “bossy” arts heads inone room led an even bossier initial at-tendee, experienced arts administrator andlocal mom Nancy Kleaver, to work onprojects which might include those inter-ested in joint events and she was unani-mously asked to lead the effort.

Kenny Medrano, Unit Director of theBoys and Girls Club, suggested the groupapply for a small Love Your Block 2014grant. Sofia Geier brainstormed the idea of“Make Your Mark.” The concept is to dem-onstrate to a child that making one mark inthe world is not necessarily creating a muralor something semi-permanent, but could becleaning up an area so everyone can enjoythe empty space to think and be free to createand learn about art. “A great work of art canbe choreography, an idea repeated indefi-nitely,” said Melissa Orlando.

Kleaver applied for and received thegrant Citizens Committee for New YorkCity. Other initiatives of Re-Create Queens,in addition to art events, are a partneringwith Queen College to conduct a feasibilitystudy that will investigate the who, what,when, and where of Sunnyside andWoodside’s creative community and cre-ative learning opportunities for youth. In-formation from the study will be made avail-able to all local groups and residents.

To check on the status of “Mark YourMark,” see https://www.facebook.com/MYMQueens. . For more information, [email protected].

Nancy said,” “With the Make Your MarkFestival and Community Clean-Up Day Re-Create Queens is launching a new tradition toengage kids in community service and intro-duce families to all of the amazing arts andyouth enrichment organizations in our neigh-borhood. We’re thrilled to focus our effortson the 48th Street and the LIRR underpass, awell-trodden path that needs a lot of love afterthis rough winter and recent construction.”Photo Front: L-R: Sean Martin (BoardUnity Stage Company), Angel Gil Orrios(Exec./Artistic Dir.
