Comfy and TastyNetwork Café108-02 72nd Ave., Forest Hills(718) 263-5700HOURS: Noon to 1 a.m. dailyDELIVERY: NoCREDIT CARD: Yes, all major
Walking along Austin Street in For-est Hills, it is easy to be overwhelmedby the amount of eatery op-t ions avai lable. Althoughthere are many great placesalong that main road, it isworth turning a few cornersand going down a few sidestreets to discover gems likeNetwork Café.
When I walked in with acouple of friends, one of thefirst things I noticed was justhow re lax ing the a tmo-sphere was in the diningroom. Smooth jazz played gently inthe background and the lighting waslow-key, but not dull. A spiral stair-case led downstairs to a large roomthat looked like it would work for anytype of party.
For star ters, my friends and I de-cided to try the house-made sangria.
The drink was absolutely delectable,tast ing just sweet enough to be veryenjoyable but not enough to be over-powering. The various fruits floatingaround in my glass created a variety ofdifferent flavors with each sip. Plus,they made for a nice snack once thewine was gone!
For dinner, I went with the penneala vodka with chicken, afairly simple dish that wasnevertheless mouth-wateringwhen it arrived in front of me.The vodka sauce was warmand creamy, making everybite a great experience thatalso put me into an even morerelaxed mood. The chickenwas cooked tenderly, makingfor an excellent complementto the pasta.
Network Café is a greatplace to go after a long day at work orschool. Every thing about this restau-rant is made to create a tranquil,friendly atmosphere. The décor andmusic are calming, the staff is welcom-ing and the food is top-quality. Whatmore could you ask for?

Queens Deadline
By MEGAN MONTALVOAs the harsh conditions of winter
approach, the Queens CongregationsUnited for Action is reiterating a mes-sage that Mayor Mike Bloomberg hasheard since Superstorm Sandy hit: Donot forget about the Rockaways.
Joined by local residents and PublicAdvocate Bill deBlasio, an interfaith net-work of more than 50 Queens houses ofworship stood on the steps of City Halllast week to demand a complete restora-tion of electricity by the year’s end.
“Two full months after Sandy struck,the Rapid Repairs program still hasn’trestored heat and electricity for thou-sands of our fellow New Yorkers,” QCUAExecutive Director Joseph McKellar said.“Thousands more are living with hor-rible mold infestations that Rapid Repairsdoesn’t address at all.”
According to McKellar, who has beenvolunteering in the Rockaways sinceSandy hit, 8,600 New Yorkers living inthe Rockaway Peninsula still do not havepower, heat or help to fix mold so severethat it is causing health problems inchildren and adults.
Rockaways: We Still Need Help“Many residents are experiencing
what has been dubbed ‘the Rockawaycough,’” he said. “Living without heatand power is bad enough for one night,but to be living without it for months isjust unacceptable.”
In addition to experiencing healthissues, several religious leaders living inFar Rockaway described the situation atSt. John’s Episcopal Hospital, the onlymajor medical facility on the Peninsula,as “overwhelmed” and “in the desperateneed for assistance.”
“St. John’s has been so inundatedwith patients that it is in danger of clos-ing,” said Rev. Jeffry Dillon, who pastorsChrist the King Church in SpringfieldGardens. “If this were the Upper EastSide, or other parts of the City, wouldsuch suffering be permitted to continue?We believe the answer is no.”
Despite setting up warming centersin the area, clergy members said that alltoo many residents are falling ill andhave no where else they can afford to go.Others, McKellar said, are immigrantstoo fearful of risking deportation to askthe government for help.
“My home hasbeen totally gutted. Itis a shell. It is unin-hab i t ab l e , ” s a i dRockaway home -owne r Pau l i neAnderson Brown.“Part of my appeal ofbeing here today is tosay t o Mayo rBloomberg we needmore help.”
Though QCUAacknowledged RapidRepair workers forthe more than 2,000homes they have re-stored to full capacitysince Sandy, manyrally attendees, in-cluding deBlasio, criticized the Mayorfor “not doing good enough.”
“City Hall likes to tell us the crisis isover, but it is not over,” deBlasio said,as he stood in front of the large crowd ofresidents on City Hall’s steps. “When thetime comes that every New Yorker cango back to living some semblance ofnormalcy, that is when the crisis will beover. The Rapid Repairs program mustlive up to its name.”
Though QCUA’s rally joined a 21-page research report they released ear-lier this month, which outlined a 10-point strategy for immediate and long-term recovery, and the delivery of apetition containing more than 3,000signatures urging the Mayor to includemold remediation under the Rapid Re-
pairs program, the group has yet toreceive a response from any top officialswithin his administration.
Within the coming weeks, McKellarsaid he remains hopeful that Bloomberg’soffice will schedule an appointment toaddress the clergy’s concerns.
“In light of all the research we havedone, it is clear that something needs tobe done immediately,” he said. “Unfor-tunately, all we can do now is move onwith our volunteer efforts while we waitfor the Mayor to respond.”
As of press time, calls made to theMayor and the Long Island Power Au-thority were not returned.

By MEGAN MONTALVOIn light of the Bangladesh factory fire
that killed more than 100 workers lastmonth, four members of Congress areurging the U.S. Trade Representative tocomplete a review of Bangladesh’s laborrecord.
On Dec. 20, U.S. Reps. Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights), Sander Levin (D-MI),Jim McDermott (D-WA) and Bill Pascrell(D-NJ), along with other members from theWays and Means Committee and the HouseBangladesh Caucus, announced they hadissued a letter to Ambassador Ron Kirk,expressing concern over the deterioratinglabor rights situation in Bangladesh.
“We are seriously concerned aboutthe deterioration of working conditionsand worker rights in Bangladesh,” theletter read. “The latest apparel industryfire, with over 100 workers killed, in theTazreen garment factory is the latest ina series of events and practices consti-tuting this decline.”
While the contents of the letter citeseveral specific issues constituting thedecline in labor rights, ongoing crimi-nal charges against labor leaders andrefusal to register labor unions as officialorganizations, one specific unsolvedmystery it highlighted was the murder ofthe prominent labor organizer AminulIslam, who was found tortured and killedearlier this year in Bangladesh.
Adding to the urgency of the letter,a group of local Bangladeshi residentsorganized a rally at the 37th Road Plaza
Congress CallsFor Labor Reform
On Dec. 21, Public Advocate Bill deBlasio joinedRockaway residents and more than 50 Queenshouses of worship on the steps of City Hall to de-liver a petition urging Mayor Mike Bloomberg formore post-Sandy assistance.

By JOE MARVILLIDrivers who use the Whitestone Ex-
pressway should prepare to make anadjustment to their driving pattern inthe New Year.
The Whitestone Expressway’s 3rdAvenue exit will be closed to all trafficstarting on Jan. 7 for approximately twoyears. The closure is part of the Metropoli-tan Transportation Authority Bridges andTunnels’ Capital Improvement Project.
The 42-month, $109 million recon-struction will transform the 1,010-foot-long Queens approach to the bridge,rebuilding the roadway and adding newemergency breakdown shoulders. Thesouthbound 14th Avenue exit ramp willbe repaved as well as gaining a decelera-tion lane and new curbing.
Passenger vehicles driving from theBronx-bound Cross Island Parkway willhave to exit at Utopia Parkway (Exit 33N),and those driving from the northboundWhitestone Expressway will get off eitherat the 20th Avenue exit and or merge ontothe Cross Island Parkway. All commercialvehicles must exit the Whitestone Express-
in Jackson Heights two weeks ago.Along with more than 40 attendees,
Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-JacksonHeights) spoke at the protest, calling forbig business retailers, such as Walmart,Sears and Disney to be held accountablefor its overseas deals with Tarzeen.
“Walmart should be called slave martbecause that’s how it treats its workers,”Dromm said at the rally. “What hap-pened in Bangladesh only further proveswhy Walmart does not belong in NewYork City. It must be held accountablefor the fire.”
According to Crowley’s office, thefactory owner, who produced clothesfor export to the U.S., allegedly claimedthat no one had told him to install fireexits and violated other safety codes inthe construction of the building.
Because U.S. law grants preferentialduties on exports from developing coun-tries, Crowley said that benefits can beretracted unless they are paired withprogress on labor rights, so that thedevelopment gains of the program arebroadly shared.
“Though there is no way to replacethe loss of lives in Bangladesh, the silverlining in all of this is that hopefully, wecan focus on taking steps forward to-wards stronger labor reform both in theU.S. and our partnering countries,”Crowley said.

way at 20th Avenue (Exit 15).Signs and traffic agents will be on hand
once the detours begin in January. Al-though these extra precautions will be inplace, drivers will not be forced to pay a tollfor accidentally going over the bridge.According to the MTA B&T, drivers whomiss the exits and go over the bridge canproceed to the cash lane, where the tollcollector will give them an off-route passback to Queens. E-Z Pass patrons can stopin the toll lane and an officer will assist them.
Counc i lman Dan Ha l loran (R-Whitestone) praised the City agency forworking closely with him and his officeto make sure the construction minimallyimpacts the surrounding community.
“The sound barrier, decorativescreening and other thoughtful inclu-sions will help maintain our community’squality of life while this necessary workon the bridge is being done,” Halloransaid. “I wish everyone was as easy towork with as Bridges and Tunnels.”

Our Heroes

In Your Opinion:
In Our Opinion:
The holidays are traditionally known as “the season of giving,”and that has never been more apparent than in Queens in the wakeof Superstorm Sandy.
With so many people left homeless or without power after thedevastating disaster, the Borough responded with an unprec-edented relief effort, and without question, the individuals andgroups who have given their time, their money and their dedicationto the victims of the storm have earned the title of the QueensTribune’s “2012 Persons of the Year.”
The “Heroes of Sandy” listed within these pages are in no waya complete list, just a sampling of the thousands who have given ofthemselves as we approached the holiday season.
As 2013 approaches over the horizon, we hope for better daysand a prosperous New Year for all.

Manhattan Borough President ScottStringer is an announced 2013 candi-date for New York City Comptroller.His Op-Ed article in the Queens Tri-bune (Growing New York City’s Entre-preneurial Economy for All – Dec. 20-26) is not, in my opinion, an auspiciousbeginning. Mr. Stringer seems to be-lieve the new economy he is talkingabout will create job opportunities forseekers in Willets Point, Flushing. Withdue respect, Mr. Stringer has obviouslybought into Mayor Michael Bloomberg’sill-advised Willets Point so called rede-velopment plan. That plan has and willdestroy over 200 small businesses anddestroy the livelihood of thousands ofworkers and their families, for the ben-efit of Bloomberg’s fat cat real estate andmultimillionaire friends. Mr. Stringer isapparently unaware or may not care thatnot only will the proposed developmentinvolve usurpation and gross impact onpublic parkland, free of charge, buthundreds of millions of taxpayer dollarswill be doled out to the developers, as forexample, billionaire Wilpon, the ownerof the Mets. Mr. Stringer does not seemto care about the horrendous trafficnightmare the development will createon the Van Wyck Expressway and down-town Flushing. His notion of the neweconomy, assuming it ever comes tofruition, will take dozens of years, bywhich time the poor disenfranchised
Willets Point workers will be long dead.If Mr. Stringer is serious about being
Comptroller, he will have to state hewishes to be judged by what he does forthe poor, the middle class and smallbusinesses and unlike Mayor Bloombergnot what he does for the wealthy and theprivileged. He will also have to step upto the plate and declare that under nocircumstances, economic or otherwise,will he allow any public parkland to betaken by private business interests.Should he fail in any of the above, thepublic will simply be treated to the sameold same old.

Looming CliffTo The Editor:
That ol’ “Fiscal Cliff” is progressivelylooming… or rather dooming. Both sidesare increasingly anxious and the closerwe get to the edge, the greater is theanxiety. It’s like a bladder condition; thecloser one gets to the source of resolu-tion the less likely it seems that it will bereached in time. I believe it will be; thatis if our clueless freshmen installed intothe House of Representatives after the2010 election disaster have their wayand force us over. The last time theymanaged to lower our credit rating;perhaps this time they will manage tomore completely destroy our country’scredibility… of course not coincidentallywhile occurring during the Presidency
of Barack Hussein Obama. And it mayvery well work. Initially it will be obviousthat the fault was that of our horseblindered Right Wing Congress, buthistory books will have it categorized asoccurring during our president’s ten-ure, and after all is said and done, that isthe goal. And that’s from those “values”exclaimers.
One would think that first and fore-most America’s standing in the worldwould be of the greatest importance toany patriotic citizen, but clear thinkinghas not been on the front burner of thatgroup. Nor has it been on the frontallobe on the “Things to do” brain of ourCongress. That gray matter seems tohave been replaced with Earle Grey, thetea, that is.

Bad IdeaTo The Editor:
The NRA’s statement that thereshould be an armed guard in every singleschool as a result of the Sandy Hookschool massacre is not a very good sug-gestion at all. We cannot turn our schoolsinto armed camps - the goal is to keepour schools safe and to keep guns out ofour schools. There was even a sugges-tion made by a politician that teachersand principals should carry guns, whichis totally without logic. What really needsto be done is for the NRA to work intandem with the President, Congressand gun companies to find some mutualsolution to this ever-growing problem.Any person who wants to purchase agun, either at a gun show or in a gun orsporting goods store must have a thor-ough background check done. If a dis-crepancy arises, then that person mustnot be allowed to purchase a gun. Wecannot tolerate any more shootings thatwill take innocent lives. Enough isEnough!
John Amato,Fresh Meadows
Less Guns NeededDear Editor:
I could not believe that NRA spokes-man Wayne LaPierre, executive vice-president of the NRA, is calling forarmed guards in every school after whathappen at Sandy Hook ElementarySchool. In my opinion we don’t needmore people carrying guns, but lessguns. The NRA ought to be workingwith Congress to pass legislation to con-
trol guns and eliminate assault rifles.They should not be blaming films andgames alone for the shootings at SandyHook Elementary School and otherschools as well. In my view, the NRA isnot only brain dead, but also out to lunchand eight cents short of a dime.
Frederick R. Bedell Jr.,Glen Oaks Village
DeceptionTo The Editor:
Many of us grew up accepting thepremise that the actions and pronounce-ments of the government were truthful,legitimate and in our best interests.Unconstitutional limitations of our rightsand regulation of our lives have beenunquestioningly acquiesced to only as aresult of deception and the appearanceof legitimacy. The deception is so perva-sive and subtle that we have come toaccept it as the natural order of things.
We are oblivious to the inherent cor-ruption and immorality of governmentcoercion, control and micromanagementof our lives. Among the many decep-tions is the characterization of tax cutsas government expenditures. A tax cut isthe act of government allowing citizensto keep more of the money they haveearned. Calling it an expenditure impliesthat all wealth belongs to the governmentto dispose of as it wishes. Whose moneyis it, anyway?
Social Security and Medicare are nowreferred to as “entitlements,” even thoughrecipients, along with their employers,have contributed to the fund their entireworking lives. If you die before you areeligible to collect, do you ever wonderwhat happens to all that money?
An examp le o f gove rnmen tdoublespeak is the term “fair share.” Itis an inconvenient truth that the top 10percent of earners pay 70 percent offederal income taxes. Almost 50 percentof Americans pay no income taxes at all,and 25 percent of those receive welfarein the form of the earned income taxcredit. What amount of taxation wouldaccommodate the new paradigm of “fair-ness”? Evidently, the answer is: as muchas the government wants.
