Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña spoke to Borough President Melinda Katz’s Parents Advisory Board Tuesday night to highlight the positive aspects in schools and get input on the negatives.

This was Fariña’s first Advisory Board meeting in the City since she took over as Chancellor in January, Katz said.

Katz opened the meeting with an optimistic vision for the future, despite the amount of work that still needs to be done in schools.

“I believe that Queens is changing and I believe it’s changing for the better,” she said. “We had a lot of problems. We got overcrowded. We got lots of trailers.”

Katz said she believes this admin-istration has shown the dedication to make the overcrowded situation work, but it is not going to happen over-night.

Fariña said her main goal in attend-ing the meeting was to listen to what

Chancellor Addresses Schools’ Future

people need to make schools better for everyone. She also pointed out a variety of new programs that have been imple-mented or will be by September.

In the summer, there will be a rich professional development calendar for training, support and parent coordina-tors, Fariña said.

There is the Summer Quest program, a free five-week, full-day learn-ing program that provides elementary and middle school students with fun, hands-on enrichment expe-riences while strengthening their academic skills. Fariña said there will be summer schools where children have the highest need and the Dept. of Education has con-tacted libraries about being more available for summer reading programs.

Fariña said she also plans to put out a posting to hire social studies teachers in

the summer to write the new common core texts to save millions of dollars and produce a better product in house.

In September, Fariña said the DOE will offer more ESL classes and 12-month services for IEP students. The DOE has also set aside $23 million for arts programs.

Fariña said she will take a look at all co-location sites by sending trained people into schools and find out what their issues are.

Fariña said she also plans to start foreign language earlier and she wants to see more dual-language programs. She said she is expanding Career, Tech-nology and Engineering schools too.

“Our CTE schools are college prep schools,” she said. “A lot are under-enrolled.”

WillieFlora Gaines, president of District 28’s Community Education Council, asked Fariña about the dif-ficulty of using 311 to call schools and administrators.

“By the time school starts in Sep-tember, there will be a printed protocol for who to call, for what,” Fariña said.

Residents should not expect overall change for another six months but she said she wants to “make sure nothing goes through the cracks.”

Six months after a patient escaped from Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, another patient has found his way out of the facility.

Another Patient Escapes From CreedmoorOn June 3, Clifford Brown bolted

from the center by climbing a double-walled curved fence near an outdoor recreation area. While police picked up Brown a day later, the escape raised con-cerns from the community about the se-curity at Creedmoor.

State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and several civic leaders condemned the psychiatric center for allowing an-other potentially dangerous patient to slip through its security. Brown, who suffers from schizophrenia, was ar-rested in 2003 on gun charges.

“This is extremely serious that in less than six months, two people have escaped in different fashions. There seems to be a tremendous lack of se-curity,” Avella said.

The first patient who escaped this year was convicted killer Raymond Morillo, who slipped out of Creed-moor on Jan. 28 by switching clothes with one of his visiting friends.

“This is very scary to the civic asso-ciations, residents and people who live nearby. This is the second time this has happened. It’s just wrong,” Rich-ard Hellenbrecht, president of Queens Civic Congress, said.

The civic leaders said that there seemed to be a lack of supervision at Creedmoor, given the amount of time it would take a patient to climb a fence that curves inward.

After the Morillo incident in Janu-ary, the Inspector General’s office said it would conduct an investigation of mental health facilities throughout the State, including Creedmoor. Avella said he has requested that this latest escape be added to the report.

The Office of Mental Health said that it is looking into the matter, though it cannot comment on the pending investigation.

“Escaped patients are a very rare occur-rence within the Office of Mental Health’s

secure psychiatric centers,” spokesman Benjamin Rosen said. “Any escaped pa-tient is immediately reported to local law enforcement, and all significant incidents which occur within a facility are reported to the Justice Center for the Protection of Persons with Special Needs.”

Councilman Mark Weprin (D-Oakland Gardens) criticized the OMH for the lack of notification from Creed-moor to the community.

“The policy of not notifying local public schools of a potential danger is unacceptable,” he said.

Former Comptroller John Liu, who has announced a run against Avella for his State Senate seat, echoed the community’s concerns.

“Neighbors and residents of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center have every right to be outraged and deserve answers after repeated failures at this facility,” he said.

A bill to reform the Queens Library is one step closer to becoming law.

Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry (D-Corona)’s bill to introduce more over-sight to the Queens Library was met with unanimous approval in the State Assembly on June 10. The legislation now moves to the State Senate, where it is sponsored by State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria).

The legislation was created in re-sponse to the recent controversies that have affected the Queens Library. The library’s CEO, Thomas Galante, has come under fire for his excessive salary, second job and use of library funding to build his office a private smoking deck.

The bill will reform the appoint-ment and removal process of the Board of Trustees, so a trustee can be removed by the official who appointed him or her. A trustee’s term length would be reduced from five years to

Assembly Passes Library Reform

three years and would require that a he or she either lives in or owns a busi-ness in Queens.

The legislation would also create an independent labor committee and au-dit committee to oversee the Library’s accounting, financial reporting and contracting process. There would also be limits on outside employment.

The Library would have to hold an-nual budget hearings and maintain a 30-day public comment period before it can adopt its annual budget as well.

Gianaris’s office said the Senator is optimistic that the bill’s passage in the Assembly will help him push for its passage in the Senate before this year’s session concludes on June 19.

“I urge my fellow Senators to pass this bill as quickly as possible so we can rein in the excesses revealed in re-cent reports and provide a long-term blueprint for efficiency, transparency and accountability,” Gianaris said.

The push to bring back the Tri-umph of Civic Virtue statue to Queens has been renewed.

A new group, which is called the Civic Virtue Task Force, has formed to advocate for the structure to be re-turned to where it used to be displayed near Queens Borough Hall.

The statue was moved to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn in De-cember 2012, after cemetery officials came to an agreement with the City to restore the structure and display it on the cemetery premises.

The statue has been the subject of much controversy since it first came to New York in 1922, with opponents say-ing the statue is offensive to women. It was first displayed at City Hall, but for-mer Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia banished the statue to Queens after criticism in-creased. Elected officials in Queens, in-cluding former Borough President Clare Shulman, tried to get the statue moved as well, but were unsuccessful.

Richard Iritano, the president and co-founder of the group, said the stat-ue should return to its former home in Kew Gardens and they will make their voices loud and clear on this issue.

“It belongs in a public forum among the living, not vanished to a cemetery with the dead,” he said.

Group Advocating For Civic Virtue Forms

Other members of the group in-clude CB9 chairman Ralph Gonzalez, CB9 District Manager Mary Ann Car-ey and activist Jon Torodash, who ran on the Civic Virtue line against Coun-cilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) last year and has advocated for the statue to be returned as well.

The group hopes to get the support of Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, but that appears to be unlikely.

In its press release, the group said they met with two of Katz’s staffers,

Barry Grodenchik and Nayelli Va-lencia, to state their case for bringing the statue back to Queens. Iritano said that Grodenchik told them they would consider that, along with other options for the site, and have more meetings scheduled with them in the future.

When asked about the issue and the meeting, a spokesperson for Katz said the Borough President’s position on what to do with the vacant area re-mains unchanged from what she said earlier this year: she prefers that the

site be converted to a plaza that hon-ors women of Queens and outside the City for the work they have done. This was an idea first mentioned by her predecessor, Helen Marshall.

Iritano said Grodenchik gave them the impression that they would con-sider bringing back the statue and they had no knowledge of Katz’s posi-tion prior to their meeting with Katz’s staffers in April of this year.

Katz’s spokesperson said they should have not gotten that impres-sion and the Borough President’s position on the matter remains un-changed, despite the meeting.

A spokesperson for the cemetery also provided a statement, saying Green-Wood will be responsible for its care as long as it is displayed at the cemetery.

“This magnificent work of art has been meticulously restored and now has a place of honor on our grounds, where it is seen every year by tens of thousands of visitors, including stu-dents on school trips, tour groups, art aficionados, nature lovers and others,” said Colleen Roche, the cemetery’s spokesperson.

Roche added that Green-Wood has spent more than $200,000, in restor-ing the statue, including transporting it from Kew Gardens to Brooklyn.

A homeless shelter is apparently coming to Elmhurst’s Pan American Hotel, despite an initial claim that such a plan would not be feasible at the site.

According to a newsletter posted on the website of the civic group Com-munities of Maspeth and Elmhurst Together, or COMET, Samaritan Vil-lage is planning to place about 200 homeless individuals at the hotel and have already started to move some of the families there.

The news of the proposal has come as a surprise to community lead-ers and residents, after the Dept. of Homeless Services said the agency was not interested in creating a shelter at the Queens Boulevard hotel, because it did not meet its requirements.

At a public meeting for the pro-posed homeless shelter in Glendale on May 22, Lisa Black, the agency’s assis-tant commissioner of government and human relations, said the hotel is not considered an option for a homeless shelter because of the lack of facili-ties, including a kitchen, available at the hotel that would accommodate the homeless.

Black was responding to questions from residents who asked if the hotel would be considered for the shelter

instead of an earlier proposal for a homeless shelter at 78-16 Cooper Ave. in Glendale.

But Roe Daraio, the president of COMET, said the City made the plans for the shelter at Pan Am without no-tice or an opportunity for commu-nity input, despite Black saying that it would not be feasible at the hotel. Daraio said 36 families have already been moved to the hotel.

“Everybody is freaking out down there, we have a lot of issues going on in Elmhurst right now,” she said.

Daraio added that her concern is

that the shelter would be near two schools, including IS 5, which is about two blocks away from the hotel, and a daycare center. The Metro Motel, which is one block away, already serves as an area homeless shelter.

Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) also disapproved of the plan in a state-ment released by his office.

“I believe it is bad policy to

bring that many needy people into one place. While I recognize and sup-port the need to house our homeless, I believe that this number is way too large. While DHS has promised my office added security and additional social services at the site, I still believe Elmhurst is overburdened,” Dromm’s statement read.

He also said the 36 families were moved into the hotel at around 4:45 p.m. on Friday, June 6 and neither his office nor members of the commu-nity were given advance notice of the move.

City To Move Homeless To Pan Am HotelThe civic group plans to rally

against the shelter outside of the ho-tel, located at 79-00 Queens Blvd, on Tuesday, June 17, beginning at 6 p.m.

When asked about the site, a DHS spokesperson said in an email the agency is keeping the families there until it can move them to a different shelter. They will provide them with three meals a day and each of the ho-tel’s units has private bathrooms.

“The City of New York remains committed to offering homeless fami-lies the compassion and dignity they deserve in their moment of need. As the number of families with children residing in temporary, emergency shelter grows, we must consider all available options to address our ca-pacity needs and meet our legally mandated right to shelter. In the short term, DHS is using the Queens Boule-vard facility to provide essential shel-ter and supportive services to families with children,” the agency said in a statement.

A DHS spokesperson also said their goal is to move the families with chil-dren to permanent housing or another shelter as soon as possible. After that, they will host adult families with no children at that site.


Elmhurst residents are outraged over the City’s plans to move hundreds of homeless people to the Pan Am Hotel.

New Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña’s visit to the Borough’s Parents Advi-sory Board meeting on Tuesday night offered an interesting glimpse into what the schools’ head believes needs to be done to aid efforts to improve education, not just in Queens, but City-wide.

We just hope that the new administration can make the necessary changes before it is too late for our current students to benefit from them.

Fariña stated that she was on-hand at the meeting – her first advisory board meet-ing since becoming chancellor – to listen to parents and to get a feel for what parts of the school system needed improvement. But she also detailed some changes she was hoping to enact, including earlier foreign language classes, more ESL and arts classes and a look into all proposed co-location sites in the City.

One of the biggest challenges the school system faces right now is the issue of over-crowded schools and students being shuffled off to trailers to learn because there is no room for them. The lack of classroom space is no doubt hurting the chances for a quality education for thousands of students. Without the proper venue for a class-room, teachers struggle to reach students and students are often unable to process information given to them.

The Dept. of Education needs to create a plan immediately to address overcrowd-ing in the schools. We understand that, as Fariña told the advisory board earlier this week, this is not something that can be fixed overnight. But without a plan in place now, it cannot be fixed at all.

Yes, Fariña is still in her first six months as head of the schools in the City. But if she does not begin to act toward overcrowding soon, it will be to the detriment of thou-sands of our students. Their futures are not something that should be trifled with.

More Focus On Schools Needed

By AssemBlywomAn CAtherine nolAn

At the most critical mo-ments of our lives, far too many of us New

Yorkers face an impossible deci-sion: “Do I choose my family or do I choose my job?” There are times when our families as well as our jobs need us. We have a newborn, a child is seriously ill or an aging parent is hospital-ized and we need to take time from work.

Yet only 12 percent of all private sector workers have paid family leave. The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) does offer some help but its coverage is limited. Forty percent of the workforce is left out. Even those who do

qualify for family leave under the FMLA often cannot afford to take it because it is unpaid.

Paid family leave is out of reach for too many in our city and our borough. The loss of income or a job can take a huge financial toll and puts families at risk. No one should have to choose be-tween a family’s health and its ability to make ends meet.

There is a solution: common-sense legislation to provide paid family leave for New Yorkers. That is why I have sponsored A.1793-B. It provides paid family leave and a way to pay for it. The bill has already passed in the

Assembly. Senator Addabbo has introduced the same bill, S.4742-B, in the Senate but it has not yet passed. We are urg-

ing the Governor and our colleagues in the Senate to lend their support.

My legislation will provide workers in New York State with up to 12 weeks of paid leave a year to care for a new child or a seriously ill family member. It will also

help military families. Know-ing paid family leave will be there if and when they need it will provide every worker with peace of mind. Moreover, it will bring greater financial stability to 50,000 to 77,000 New Yorkers

each year as well as the families who rely on their earnings.

Family leave insurance will not burden small businesses. The program will build on New York’s existing Temporary Dis-ability Insurance program to which both employers and em-ployees contribute. In fact, eight out of ten small business owners support expanding the state disability insurance program to provide paid family leave.

Times and attitudes have changed. It is time for work-places to change too. All New

Common-Sense Paid Family Leave NeededYorkers should have the ability to care for their families in times of need. We cannot afford to wait. We must pass A.1793-B(Nolan)/S.4742-B(Addabbo) now. Please contact your New York State Senators and the Governor and ask them to sup-port these bills.

Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan represents the 37th Assem-bly District, which includes Sun-nyside, Ridgewood, Long Island City, Queensbridge, Ravenswood, Astoria, Woodside, Maspeth, Dutch Kills and Blissville.

To The Editor:On Monday, June 9, Queens Community Board 7 passed a

resolution that originated in the CB 7 Health Committee that encouraged owners and landlords of new multi-family housing to create smokefree housing units and to establish a smokefree environment in the developments wherever possible. This resolution is not a statement suggesting that people who smoke cannot live in these new apartments, rather similar to other existing restrictions where the indoor air is shared with others, smoking is not acceptable in those premises.

I proposed this resolution to the Health Committee after Community Board 2 in Staten Island took a similar step sev-eral months ago.

I commend those that sup-ported the resolution at the full

board meeting and to those who felt the resolution did not go far enough in making the public health statement that every city resident has the right to breathe smokefree air where they reside.

Smokefree multiple housing is the way of the future and is becoming commonplace in other parts of the country. This transition is occurring because of the recognition that non-smokers are involuntary ex-posed to secondhand smoke, a recognized Class A carcinogen that is responsible for nearly 50,000 annual deaths.

I encourage other resi-dents living in New York City apartments to speak to their landlords, local community boards and elected officials and let them know that you have a right to breathe smokefree air where you reside.

qUEENS thiS wEEkElder Law Seminar To Be Hosted By Flushing House

Maria Alvarez, executive direc-tor of NY Statewide Senior Action Council, will give the last of Flushing House’s “Elder Law Seminars” on Sat-urday, June 21.

As in previous years, Flushing House scheduled three seminars for spring 2014. These seminars focused on how changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Med-icaid Re-Design/Expansion in New York State, are impacting health care and home care services for seniors. During the seminars, Medicare chang-es arising from the ACA are explored, as well as asset protection trusts and estate planning.

Maria Alvarez’s talk is about the entire range of beneficiary issues. She will speak on how changes to coverage through Medicare, Managed Care and Medicaid, under the new rules of ACA and Medicaid Re-Design/Expansion in New York State, are impacting the scope, choice and delivery of benefits and services for older adults.

Built in 1974, Flushing House is one of the first nonprofit retirement communities to offer older adults an “Independent Living” lifestyle, along with supportive services on the prem-ises.

The seminar is from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Flushing House dining room, located at 38-20 Bowne St., Flushing. Refreshments will be served. The seminar is open to the public free of charge. If you wish to attend, RSVP to (347) 532-3025 or [email protected].

A Call For Action At Lindenwood IntersectionBy LuiS GrondaStaff Writer

The calls for improved safety measures outside of PS 232 continued last week.

Following another accident at the intersection of 83rd Street and 153rd Avenue in Lindenwood last week, lo-cal elected officials gathered outside the school to again call on the Dept. of Transportation to implement some kind of safety measure at the danger-ous intersection.

Early last week, an elderly woman hit a family of three as she was mak-ing a left turn out of the Lindenwood shopping center across from the school. Although no major injuries occurred as a result of the accident, local elected officials and residents felt it highlights the need to improve safety for pedestrians and drivers be-

fore a major incident occurs. “We want change now before

there are headlines. We want change now before there’s a tragedy, we want change now while we can still pre-vent a tragic end,” Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Ozone Park) said at a press conference at dismissal time for the students at PS 232.

Goldfeder, along with State Sen. Joe Addabbo (D-Middle Village) and Councilman Eric Ulrich (R- Ozone Park) were all in lockstep for calling on DOT to make the intersection safer.

Addabbo and Ulrich echoed the Assemblyman’s sentiments about the intersection.

“This is an incredibly dangerous intersection where students, senior citizens, faculty at the school and community residents literally take their lives in their hands and risk their safety each and every time they cross the street,” Ulrich said.

“We don’t want to react to any more injuries, we want to prevent these accidents and hopefully a fatal-ity,” Addabbo said.

While the press conference con-tinued, vehicles could be seen speed-ing down the intersection, catching the attention of onlookers who were watching the elected officials speak. One woman even parked on the side-walk and got out of her car to look at purses that were for sale in front of the shopping center. Police quickly told the woman to move her car once it was brought to their attention.

One resident, Barbara McNamara, said it was sad that accidents like the one last week occurred, and it does not have to be that way.

“We need action and we need it now. We’re asking the DOT to re-spond, not with your studies, but with action. Put something in now,” said McNamara, who is also a member of the Howard Beach-Lindenwood Civic Association.

One suggestion Ulrich brought up, assuming no other traffic measure can be implemented at the site, is to include the street as part of DOT’s Safe Routes for Schools program, which focuses on safety improvements throughout schools in the five boroughs.

A DOT spokesperson emailed a statement responding to the calls for safety improvement at the intersection.

“Safety is DOT’s first priority and the agency is currently studying the area around the school for speed bumps and other possible measures to enhance safety. DOT’s Safety Educa-tion division also recently conducted a semester-long program with students on street safety. We look forward to working with the community on our shared goal of making this area safer for everyone, especially the students using these streets daily,” the agency said.


Residents Call For Pot Cove Affordable HousingBy JackiE StrawBridGEStaff Writer

At a Community Board 1 public hearing Tuesday night, Astoria resi-dents voiced a number of concerns regarding Alma Realty’s rezoning ap-plication for the development of Pot Cove, also known as Astoria Cove. Chief among these concerns was the amount of affordable housing units planned for the development.

Alma Realty has promised 295 af-fordable housing units of the total 1,689 residential units. According to land use attorney Howard Weiss, who presented the application on Tuesday night alongside principal architect Jay Valgora and landscape architect Ken Smith, Alma is working with the Dept. of City Planning to raise the number of affordable housing units.

However, Weiss did not provide a goal number of affordable units or a timeline for when that number can be announced.

“We’re not there yet,” he said. “We started these discussions recently, so I can’t provide a number, I can just as-sure you it will be increased and it will be spread over the entire project.”

Residents also asked Alma Realty to outline its definition of “affordable housing.” Resident Brian Smith said, “there’s no mention of what the rates are going to be here … it sounds like they’re putting the cart in front of the horse.”

“I’d like to know if I can afford an apartment [here],” Smith continued. “Recently, I read in the papers I’m no longer ‘middle class,’ I’m ‘moderate income.’ So I don’t even know if I can qualify for an apartment.”

“If I’m living in an affordable apart-ment, say a 1 bedroom apartment, and the person next door to me is living in a one bedroom non-affordable apart-ment, what’s the difference? Is my apartment half the size of theirs?” one board member asked.

Weiss responded by emphasizing the dispersal of affordable and mar-ket-rate apartments within the devel-opment.

“There’s not going to be any dis-crimination [between the two types],” he said. “There will be fairly-sized af-fordable units and there will be afford-able units available to singles. It’s go-ing to be fully integrated, and in fact, the entrances for both the affordable residences in the building as well as the market-rate residences are going to be fully blended and seamless.”

Other topics raised by board mem-bers and residents at the meeting in-cluded possible ferry access, handi-cap accessibility and security. Several members of the labor alliance Build Up NYC spoke up for the use of lo-cal workers and collaboration with

unions in the construction of this de-velopment.

Post Office Returns To 21st StreetBy JackiE StrawBridGEStaff Writer

Astoria is getting its 21st Street post office back.

The USPS lost its lease at its pre-vious Astoria location – 27-40 21st St. – about two years ago. Since then, Astoria customers have had to visit the more distant and crowded Ger-aldine Ferraro branch in Long Island City.

The new location is very close to the old, at 30-11 21st St.

John Tanna, Postal Operations Manager for the Triborough District, said of the new branch, “I think it’s a great location. It’s convenient for everybody, it’s a new state-of-the-art customer-friendly building.”

Customers will be able to pick up packages as well as conduct general retail services at this office.

U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-As-toria) said she was thrilled to be pres-ent for the post office ribbon cutting on Monday.

“Rarely in elected office do you get to do something that is absolutely pure and beautiful, yet we are experi-encing that today, saving our post of-fice,” Maloney said.

In 2011, the financially struggling USPS suggested shuttering 3,700 post offices as a form of budgetary belt-tightening, although a modified plan in 2012 simply decreased office hours for low-revenue branches.

“Several post offices in New York City have closed in recent years … but I was not at all surprised that this loca-tion reopened [after losing its lease],” Bayside resident Evan Kalish, who runs a blog covering postal service, said.

Even throughout the rainy Mon-day morning of the ribbon cutting ceremony, business was flowing at the new branch.

Maloney also recognized the chal-lenges many residents faced after the loss of their local post office.

“As you know when we lost our other lease, we had to move to the Fer-raro post office,” Maloney said. “It was a mile away. Now, some people will say, ‘a mile isn’t that bad.’ But in As-toria, we walk. People walk to the post office. So to be a mile away means our seniors, and our elderly, and our dis-abled can’t get there.”

Maloney added that the lease for the Long Island City Plaza post office branch located at 21st Street and 46th Road is almost up, and her office is currently searching – and accepting suggestions – for potential new branch locations.

At the Community Board 2 month-ly meeting last week, Sunnyside resi-dents expressed trepidation about an FDNY plan to house spare vehicles on the vacant lot next to Lou Lodati play-ground. These concerns were echoed by Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) on Tuesday.

The FDNY applied to purchase this property – located at 39-34 43rd St. – to replace a Greenpoint facility that was damaged by flooding during Su-perstorm Sandy.

The spare vehicles stored here would be dispatched on a non-emer-gency basis to replace temporarily decommissioned cars and trucks. Ac-cording to the FDNY, no street park-ing would be affected.

David Harney, chief of staff to the deputy fire commissioner, presented the application to CB2. Harney re-peatedly emphasized that the facility will not be used as a firehouse, and as such, vehicles coming to and from the facility will not use lights and sirens. Harney also explained that, although some damaged vehicles would be stored on the premises, there would be no repair shop.

Despite Harney’s explanations, Van Bramer said he was not convinced.

Sunnyside Wary About FDNY Facility“I believe this site is not the right

location for these uses because of its close proximity to the quiet residen-tial neighborhood of Sunnyside,” Van Bramer said.

“The community also continues to suffer from ongoing construction by the East Side Access project,” he con-tinued. “I believe the combination of the East Side Access project in con-junction with the FDNY’s proposal stand to have a negative impact on our community.”

East Side Access is designed to con-nect the LIRR from Sunnyside to a new East Side station within Grand Central Terminal. It is the largest transporta-tion infrastructure project in North America, according to the MTA.

Harney asserted that the facility would not cause disturbance or dis-traction.

“We will be as unobtrusive as you can believe,” he said.

Among the primary concerns of CB2 members and other Sunnyside residents was the FDNY’s reluctance to produce an estimate regarding how many vehicles they expect to enter and exit the premises.

“The question is that you have to live with something on a day-to-day basis – what is the norm? And that’s where they’ve been reluctant,” CB 2 chairman Joe Conley explained. “Their

concern, I think, [is] that somebody’s going to be standing with a clicker saying ‘you said five trucks on Mon-day but six came through.’”

Resident John O’Reilly urged the board to vote against the application.

“Don’t buy the idea of, ‘oh, don’t worry about this … we’re the fire de-partment, we do good things, trust us,’ Not good enough ... You should vote no on this, make them come back, get them to give you the data, do what they’re supposed to,” O’Reilly said to applause.

Another major concern for board members and residents was the facil-ity’s close proximity to Lou Lodati Playground. Resident Mike Kennye worried that vehicle exhaust and backed up traffic would create danger-

ous conditions for children, families and caregivers.

“The addition of large vehicles rumbling down 43rd Street, the noise created by these vehicles as well as in-creased emissions from those vehicles that would be introduced to the neigh-borhood are a serious concern for all who live in the community, including me,” Van Bramer said.

According to Harney, there is no front entrance to this unit as there would be in a firehouse, so “all activi-ties will occur down the ramp, behind the facility … almost 40 feet below grade.”

Ultimately, despite several board members abstaining, the board voted to approve the application with con-ditions that include a written promise from the FDNY not to conduct repairs at this facility. However, Van Bramer’s opposition significantly weakens the application’s chance of passing in the City Council.

“I cannot support the FDNY’s proposal in its current form and am asking the administration to consider alternative locations outside of this residential area in an effort to protect the quality of life of residents who live in Sunnyside,” Van Bramer added.

Mayor Bill de Blasio presented the 41st annual Sloan Public Service Awards – regarded as the Nobel Prize of City government – to six civil ser-vants last Wednesday. One of the re-cipients, Dr. Annie Fine, represents the innovative and influential work coming out of Long Island City.

Fine is medical director of the data analysis and reportable disease sur-veillance unit at the Dept. of Health at Queens Plaza. She works at the forefront of disease detection and analysis for the entire City, process-ing about 1,000 reports of disease sent daily from laboratories across the boroughs.

“My job is overseeing all that infor-mation processing, as well as analyz-ing all that information to make sure that we can find anything unusual go-ing on in the sort of river of informa-tion flowing into us,” Fine said.

It is highly technical work, she explained, in which she and her col-leagues look for strange patterns and examine outliers.

However, Fine also participates in micro-level investigations of indi-vidual cases, placing her in situations that sound like plot lines from the TV show “House.”

She remembered one case in which

LIC-Based Doctor Recognized By Mayora liver transplant recipient and a lung transplant recipi-ent both became sick after re-ceiving organs from the same donor. After visiting one of the recipients, Fine deduced that the patients had con-tracted West Nile Virus from their donor.

“It turned out to be a very interesting case and we learned a lot about West Nile Virus,” Fine said.

According to the website for the Fund for the City of New York, which sponsors the Sloan Awards, Fine cre-ated a West Nile Virus sur-veillance and control plan as a result of this case, which be-came a national model as the disease spread throughout the country.

As an example of a more typical case, Fine recalled a patient with brucella – bac-teria that can be passed from raw, unpasteurized dairy products, the sale of which is restricted in New York. The mystery was that this par-ticular patient had not left the City.

“Basically, it turned out that when I interviewed the person, he came from Ecuador and although he had not been to Ecuador, his family had brought [him] unpasteurized

cheese,” Fine said.The Sloan Public Service Award

recognizes civil servants from all ranks of City government.

In a statement released last week, Sloan Foundation president Dr. Paul Joskow said, “our civil servants not only make New York City function efficiently day to day, [but also] spark

the innovations and drive the achievements that make our city a global leader.”

The award ceremony took place last Wednesday evening, featuring a key-note speech from Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“I just thought it was amazing,” Fine said of the ceremony. “I felt that the other award recipients were so impressive and each in their own way such de-termined and impressive people, so I was just thrilled to be part of it, and so hon-ored.”

“Also, I thought [the recipients] represented a great cross-section of New York City,” Fine added.

Her fellow recipients included the director of public safety at Hostos Community College, the director of consumer ser-

vices in charge of responding to com-plaints for the Dept. of Consumer Af-fairs and the principal of Liberation Diploma Plus High School on Coney Island.

Scan To Aid Preservation Efforts

Getting StartedMembers of the faculty at UCF

decided to do a scan of the Pavil-ion as part of their involvement with ChronoLeap, a virtual reality game meant to increase science, tech-nology, engineering and mathe-matics education. According to the ChronoLeap website, the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair made for an ideal environment to convey a wide assortment of STEM content.

“We had built a lot of these mod-els based on old photographs and everything, and dropped them into the game engine so these kids could wander and play. We had made the New York State Pavilion,” Dr. Lori Walters, digital heritage lead at UCF, said.

Last year, the group acquired a FARO 3D laser scanner, with which they could completely scan an object to make a digital model. They decided that the Pavilion would be a great project to pursue, particularly because of the 50th anniversary of the World’s Fair and the debate over what to do with the Pavilion.

Walters said she has a person-al interest in the Pavilion as well, since she would often pass by the structure when she went to visit her aunt as a child.

“I wasn’t around for the Fair. I spent most of my life in Florida but

was born out in Long Island. My aunt lives in Astoria. I remember distinctly when we would come in on the LIE,” she said. “I always re-membered when I saw the beau-tiful colored panels of the Tent of Tomorrow that we were getting close.”

In order to take on such a mas-sive project, UCF received assis-tance from CyArk, a nonprofit that collects 3D data from cultural heri-tage and archeological sites from all over the world. It stores the in-formation in perpetuity and shares portions of it with the public for free at archive.cyark.org.

To accomplish this data-collect-ing mission, CyArk partners with colleges like UCF, which they call their technology centers. CyArk provides technical and fundraising support for these centers, giving them the resources they need to succeed in their project.

“[UCF] were coming out to do this project with very limited fund-ing. Some of their time was being volunteered by the staff. With the anniversary of the fair, CyArk was very interested in that,” Justin Bar-ton, CyArk’s Chief Technology Ad-vocate, said. “It became clear we needed to help support them with some fundraising efforts, so we actually established a Kickstarter campaign. We raised $15,000 to

help fund their travel costs and staff time for all that data process-ing that’ll happen in the lab.”

Barton also brought over some additional scanners and equip-ment to quicken the process. He has nine years of experience in scanning structures. CyArk itself has data sets from more than 130 cultural heritage sites, from all sev-en continents. The Sydney Opera House, Mayan Pyramids, African rock art panels and Shackleton’s Hut in Antarctica have all been scanned in the past.

How It WorksThe 3D scanner works by using

a tiny laser that sends out a signal, which hits the building, bounces back and creates a point. Over time, it creates a series of data points that cover the structure and makes an image out of the scan that has been completed. Then, the group does multiple scans, based on how large the complex is. Once the scanning process itself is complete, the team goes back and stitches those multiple scans

together, with the help of software. “Once that occurs, you’ve es-

sentially created a three-dimen-sional point cloud model of the Pa-vilion. You could create a flythrough where people can walk in and take a look around, see what it looks like,” Walters said. “You can also put it in another software where you can make a real, three-dimen-sional model. You could put it into a game engine if you want.”

The data processing will take weeks to complete, far longer than the scan itself, which was done in less than a week. Multiple scan-ners helped the process move along quickly and the weather was decent for the most part. The scan-ner can work in sunshine or over-cast, but not in rain, snow or heavy fog.

CyArk and UCF decided that since they were in the area, they would try to scan the Unisphere as well, as a test of their scan-ning technology. Unlike the Pavil-ion and other structures that were scanned, the Unisphere is mostly hollow, with many instances of open space. The team is curious to

Scan To Aid Preservation Efforts

Pavilion In 3D


The New York State Pavilion is getting a virtual lease on life, thanks to a three-dimensional scan.

The University of Central Florida and heritage preservation nonprofit CyArk worked together to scan the New York State Pavilion complex, with the goal of using that data to build a virtual 3D model of the structure as it currently stands. The nearly week-long effort went over every inch of the site, from the top of the Observation Towers to the inside of the Tent of Tomorrow.

Dr. Lori Walters of the University of Central Florida sets up the 3D scanner to create a data map of the New York State Pavilion.

Why Scan?Both Walters and Barton

said that they hope the data from the Pavilion scan could be used to provide a histori-cal record of the Pavilion’s current state. If the structure is restored or renovated, the data will display how it looked before any changes were made. If it is torn down, then the scan will act as a histori-cal record. Walters said that the Pavilion is an important part of 20th century history.

“It’s got an affiliation with the 1964-65 World’s Fair, which is a major historical event of the 20th century. Its architect is Philip Johnson, one of the most noted Ameri-can architects of the 20th century. This has a lot of his-torical significance to it,” she said. “Plus, it tells the story of the mid-1960s. You look at it and it screams ‘Space Age.’ The Space Age always has a particular fascination for me.”

Barton added that the data could ultimately be used by the Parks Dept. to restore the structure or by activist groups like People for the Pavilion. By placing the scan on its website, CyArk can also increase

awareness about the Pavilion is-sue, reaching a wider audience than just New York City.

“If we can put it online, we can share that story of what this struc-ture represents, that fantastic vi-sion of the future from the Space

Age,” he said. “It can hopefully cre-ate that advocacy that’s needed to do that massive fundraising, to aid its restoration in the long-term.”

Pavilion CostsWhen it comes to the Pavilion’s

future, several different op-tions have come up, all with varying price tags.

Two of the Parks Dept. plans, stabilization and res-toration, would demolish the Tent of Tomorrow, but fix up the observation towers. The destruction of the Tent would cost $10,613,075. Stabiliza-tion would not allow for pub-lic access, while restoration would.

The Parks Dept.’s stabiliza-tion plan would restore or re-place cable hangers and cor-roded bolts, replace the stairs and add a roof to each ob-servation tower. This strategy would cost $11,434,803.

The restoration plan would bring the towers back to how they were in 1964. This project would cost $20,538,130. Sta-bilizing both the observation towers and the Tent of Tomor-row would cost $43,013,753. Restoring access for the two structures would have a $52,117,080 cost.

The proposal to demolish the entire pavilion would cost

$14,264,661. Borough President Melinda Katz has set that amount as the first $14 million that needs to be raised to save the structure.

In addition to scanning the Pavilion, the University of Central Florida and CyArk decided to attempt a scan of the Unisphere. However, since the land-mark is mostly open space, they are unsure how the results will turn out.

Salute To Graduates:

Technology is one of the most practical - and most appreciated - gifts a high school graduate can receive. Different technology tools can give the class of 2014 a jump start on their col-lege journey and all post-high-school adventures. A new survey conducted by Impulse Research revealed that the majority of students (65 percent) be-lieve a laptop is the most important purchase for heading back to school.

Check out these great tech gifts to help the graduate in your life prepare for heading off to college.

* Keeping connected is very impor-tant as freshmen make new friends and want to stay in touch with everyone back home. The Nokia Lumia 520 Win-dows Phone is up to the task of keeping college freshmen connected, providing students with everything they need for classroom and homework settings. Plus, Windows phones come in so many colors, sizes and shapes, you will be able to perfectly match your gradu-ate’s unique personality.

* Office 365 will ensure that the graduate on your list is equipped with the tools they need to succeed - from the classroom to the dorm room, and everywhere in between. Install it on your PC, Mac or tablet - and take ad-

vantage of additional OneDrive stor-age so you can access and share your documents from anywhere.

* Need to get organized? Check out OneNote, the ultimate digital note taking app designed for busy

students who have to juggle classes, projects, assignments and life. Best of all, it is free on PC, Mac, Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, and Android Phone - so you can’t afford not to check it out.

* Windows laptops and tab-lets will give the graduate on your list all the tools needed for class or to stay healthy during his/her college years. This year’s top picks include the Acer As-pire S7 Touchscreen Ultrabook and Dell Venue 8. Both are great for watching their favorite show on Netflix or using fitness apps. Students just need to log into their Outlook.com Microsoft account to get access to all their apps and services across all the electronic devices they own.

If you still need help pick-ing out the right device for your student, visit your local Win-dows Store at Best Buy. They have trained consultants to help find the perfect gift for every graduate on your list.

When you give a high school graduate these great technol-ogy tools, you’ll know they’re set for college and any other post-high-school adventures

they might have planned. Not only is a technology gift practical - it will help them to be more successful this school year and beyond.

The former location of a strip club will soon become a place to buy a hot cup of morning Joe.

Around 8,095-square-feet of retail space at 92-77 Queens Blvd. in Rego Park has become available and deals are in place for two companies to oc-cupy the area, not including that avail-able space.

Starbucks and Retro Fitness will open locations at the site, which is be-tween the Long Island Expressway and 62nd Avenue, according to sources.

The Starbucks location, in par-ticular, stands out because it will be a drive-thru Starbucks, the first one of its kind in Queens and second overall in the City. Staten Island is the only other borough that has a drive-thru location, according to Starbucks’ web-site.

According to Winick Realty Group, the group representing the space, the gym will take up about 16,000 square feet and will include on-site parking.

Robert Heicklen, who works at the company, said this space is attractive to companies because of the high vol-ume of traffic, both pedestrian and ve-hicle, that the area has. It is the first new development since Vornado built the Rego Center Mall.

“Our space puts any potential brand in a high volume area and that’s

hard to come by,” he said. The site used to house the Gold-

fingers strip club, which was closed in 1999 after the community continu-ously protested the establishment.

Both Heicklen and Chris Okada, from Okada and Co. who represented Atlas Projects, the site’s developer, said there is “tremendous amount” of

A small, cracked concrete path across the LIRR tracks in Murray Hill – otherwise known as the 149th Street Bridge – must be demolished and re-built.

Originally closed for demolition and construction in 2010, the bridge on 149th street at Roosevelt Avenue and 41st Avenue was scheduled to reopen in November 2011. Howev-er, after numerous delays, the DOT deemed the bridge unsafe for traffic due to cracks in the cement.

Last May, the DOT initiated litiga-tion against the bridge designer – Ghan-di Engineering – which is ongoing.

“Every time I see this, I get frustrat-ed and angry about what’s been hap-pening,” said Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Flushing).

Last Friday, Kim joined State

The design will take another two months to finish, at which point the bidding process will open. The new bridge is slated to open in November 2015.

“The agency continues to meet with local stakeholders on this, including at last week’s event, and we will continue to provide updates to the community as we work to reopen this important connection,” a spokesperson for the DOT said.

Kim, Stavisky and Koo were opti-mistic about the City’s dedication to rebuilding this bridge.

“We’ve heard these deadlines be-fore,” Kim said, after outlining the DOT’s timeline. “The difference now is that we have a new administration that takes the outer-borough needs and out-er-borough business more seriously.”


interest in the remaining space avail-able at the site. Okada said they hope to have a deal in place for the third tenant by the end of this summer.

A Starbucks spokeswoman said they cannot confirm plans of open-ing a new store at that location when asked to comment.

“We are always looking for ways to

better meet the needs of our custom-ers. However, we do not have any ad-ditional information to share at this time,” the spokeswoman said.

Retro Fitness did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

“[The DOT is] in the design phase of a new plan for the bridge – it’s about 60 percent complete,” Stavinsky explained.

Addabbo Helps Relay For Life

Meng Highlights Customs Efforts

As summer air travel moves into high gear, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) highlighted recent efforts to reduce long lines for customs inspec-tions, particularly at JFK Airport in New York, and she urged Homeland Security officials to continue to reduce wait times.

Earlier this year, Meng voted for and the President signed into law the Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which will add 2,000 customs agents around the country, 200 of which are set to be stationed at JFK.

“More international passengers ar-rive at JFK than at any other airport in the United States and we want it to stay that way,” Meng said. “But long wait times through customs could negatively impact the experience that visitors have in New York, and it may make them travel somewhere else next time. Losing valuable tourism revenue for our city would be devastating to the region’s economy. It would affect local jobs, im-pact tourism and curtail the growth the regional economy. Although wait times have been improving, speeding up the lines must be a priority.”

In addition, the Congresswoman noted and commended a plan put for-ward by President Obama that partners with the industry to improve the entry process for international travelers. The new partnership, headed by the Sec-retaries of Commerce and Homeland Security, seeks to enhance service levels for international arrivals to airports.

Avella Pushes Child Safe Products Vote

State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) continues to push for passage of the Child Safe Products Act (Bill S.4614) after it successfully passed the Environ-mental Conservation Committee last week. As Vice Chairman of the com-mittee, Avella made this bill a priority, lobbying for key support alongside a strong advocacy push by environmen-tal groups, resulting in a unanimous vote in favor of the legislation.

The bill must now be voted on by the full State Senate and be signed into law prior to the end of the legislative session. The State Assembly voted to pass the bill in March.

“Time is now of the essence in get-ting this common sense legislation passed into law,” Avella said. “Our children’s safety is of the outmost im-portance and it is our responsibility, as legislators, to safeguard children’s toys across the State. That is why I im-mediately signed onto the Child Safe Products Act as a co-sponsor. I urge my colleagues in the State Senate to vote in favor of this vital bill.”

The legislation would prevent the use of toxic chemicals in toys that kids

use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, too often, parents are unaware that compa-nies making the products for their chil-dren’s use, such as toys, clothing and furniture, possess dangerous chemi-cals which are not required to be dis-closed. The bill would rectify this haz-ard by allowing the State to periodically review and remove dangerous chemi-cals or chemicals of high concern.

Goldfeder Urges Mosquito Control

With the summer season finally here and more families enjoying the warmer weather outside, Assem-blyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Howard Beach) has encouraged the New York City Dept. of Health and Mental Hy-giene to closely monitor mosquito breeding in an effort to eliminate any potential threats, such as West Nile or other mosquito-borne infections in the Sandy-damaged communities of Southern Queens and Rockaway.

Areas of standing water, road con-struction, clogged sewers, catch basins and obstructed waterways has created a welcoming atmosphere for mosqui-toes throughout Southern Queens and Rockaway. More resources are needed to spray, monitor and trap larva to con-trol the number of adult mosquitoes that could breed and carry infections that will potentially harm residents. Last summer, we had a low number of reported West Nile in Queens and we want to continue to keep those num-bers low, Goldfeder noted.

In his letter to DOHMH, Goldfed-er urged the agency to increase their mosquito spraying and to work with the Dept. of Environmental Protec-tion to continue the use of mosquito magnet traps, which survey and con-trol adult mosquitoes at wastewater treatment plants, as well as work with the Dept. of Sanitation to enforce lot cleaning.

“Frequently flooded lots and roads create the perfect habitat for larva to grow and I strongly urge the New York City Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene to work with all the neces-sary city agencies to ensure mosquito breeding is controlled this summer and help residents in their recovery ef-forts,” Goldfeder said.

Crowley Calls For NYPD Civilianization

In an effort to increase the number of uniformed police officers on the streets, Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) joined Public Safety Chair Vanessa Gibson, Public Advocate Letitia James and Local 1549 of District Council 37 in calling on the NYPD to civilianize hundreds of administrative positions currently being performed by uniformed officers. At the end of last

year, 731 uniformed NYPD police of-ficers were performing administrative and civilian functions – not including those assigned to limited, restricted or modified duty.

“Our City needs to put as many uni-formed police officers as possible on the streets to maximize law enforcement and keep New Yorkers safe,” Crowley said. “By introducing more civilians into the NYPD’s administrative work force, we can increase police presence, while also saving the City money.”

“The most effective and efficient way to utilize our limited number of uniformed police officers is to assign those officers to our neighborhood streets,” Public Advocate Letitia James said. “Increasing the civilianization of our police force saves the City money by reducing overtime costs, and lower-ing the cost of administrative and cler-ical positions. But most importantly, it allows NYPD to increase its presence throughout the City and continue en-suring the safety of residents.”

The Council’s support for civilian-ization of hundreds of positions held by uniformed police officers drew im-portant backing from key union offi-cials representing the NYPD’s civilian workforce.

“I applaud the City Council for call-ing upon the Mayor to hire 500 Police Administrative Aides (PAAs),” said Eddie Rodriguez, President of Local 1549 of District Council 37. “The resi-dents of New York City deserve better than allowing sworn law enforcement officers to sit behind a desk to perform

clerical work. Let civilian workers do clerical administrative work and po-lice officers fight crime.”

Gianaris Slams Conversion Therapy

In response to news reports that the Texas Republican Party adopted an anti-LGBT stance at its annual con-vention, including an endorsement of so-called conversion therapy, State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria) decried the Texas GOP’s insensitivity and urged passage of his legislation that would protect minors in New York from this harmful practice.

“This alarming development in Tex-as is proof that we have urgent work to do here at home in terms of banning the despicable practice of conversion therapy,” Gianaris said. “New York has long been a leader in the fight for LGBT rights and we need to lead our entire country away from the idea that a child’s sexual orientation would ever need to be converted.”

Senator Gianaris, along with Sena-tor Brad Hoylman and Assemblywom-an Deborah Glick, sponsors legisla-tion that would ban sexual orientation change efforts on minors in New York.

Next Saturday, Flushing Town Hall and Jackson Heights café Terraza 7 will stage LGBTQ Immigrant Voices, a con-cert in celebration of Pride Month.

The trio Mahina Movement will headline a two-set lineup, which features veteran performers and students alike, whose roots span the globe from Peru to Ireland to Jamaica to China.

For Sami Shumays, Flushing Town Hall deputy director, the value of the LGBTQ Immigrant Voices concert is twofold. He said that he hopes it will showcase both “the diversity within the LGBTQ community and the pos-sibility of the diverse sides of that community coming together to support each other.”

“In general, we at Flushing Town Hall are trying our best to address all the diff erent communities that are around us in Queens, and in New York City, but in Queens especially because that’s our home,” Shumays added.

Musician and activist Nadia Bourne, who studies at St. John’s University, will perform original pieces about life, love and revolution.

“I am looking forward to performing in such an important cultural center and forum, learning lessons and telling my story, our story,” she said.

“I have performed in other cultural hubs and worked with other immigrant and queer-identifi ed artists in similar

LGBTQ Immigrant Voices Take The Stagecapacities,” Bourne continued. “How-ever, this [concert] off ers an ostensibly inclusive space. We are inviting all immigrants and allies to come and listen in. I sincerely hope that those who need to hear what we have to say are present.”

“I hope that the audience enjoys the performance and is able to celebrate the common identities and struggles that make us stronger as a collective unit,” Bourne added.

Jackson Heights resident Brad Bradley, who has appeared on Broad-way in several productions, including “Spamalot,” “Annie Get Your Gun” and “Billy Elliott,” will perform a set from his one-man show, “B Squared,” at the concert.

“My set consists of songs about marriage equality, loving someone while still in the closet and boys play-ing with Barbies,” Bradley said. “Get-ting to perform these messages to a crowd that can relate is a very special opportunity.”

“I’m also looking forward to repre-senting my Borough, a proud Queen from Queens,” Bradley added.

LGBTQ Immigrant Voices is spon-sored in part by Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) – it was at his request that a specifi cally LGBTQ-themed event was added to the Flushing Town Hall programming.

“I am proud to be able to fund such a unique and important event that shines light on the LGBT com-munity, immigrants and on our home

borough of Queens,” Dromm said.Tickets are $15 for the public and

$10 for Flushing Town Hall members and students. LGBTQ Immigrant

An ongoing documentary shoot about Jamaica Bay unearthed another story that was also converted to a movie.

Th e fi lmmakers of the in-progress documentary about Jamaica Bay will premier a short fi lm, called “Th e Divine Waters of Jamaica Bay” about the Indo-Caribbean community and how it uses the bay for religious rituals.

Th e movie follows a group of indi-viduals who travel to the Bay to perform the Hindu ritual of Puja, a ceremony praying to various deities in the Hindu religion, including Shiva, one of the most well-known gods in that religion.

Dan Hendrick, the creator of the Jamaica Bay Lives documentary who also worked on the short film, said their goals for the fi lm are to promote Jamaica Bay and to begin a discussion of balancing religious practice with concerns about the environment.

One item the movie explores, Hen-drick said, is some issues that have

emerged as a result of the ritual. Part of the ceremony is that they leave materi-als on the water as an off ering to the gods they pray to. Hendrick said the Parks Dept. has told them in the past not to leave any items on the beach as it violates the agency’s rules.

According to Hendrick, while some have decided to take the items they would leave behind, others have re-sisted because they want to keep the tradition.

Hendrick said he hopes the movie shows the many people that use the Bay and how unique it is to New York.

“It will really show how diverse Jamaica Bay is,” he said.

Th e movie will be shown on June 22 at Shri Trimurti Bhavan, which is located at 101-18 97 Ave. in Ozone Park. Th e free event will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Mark BacinoThe trial of State Sen. Mal-

colm Smith, former Council-man Dan Halloran and former GOP honcho Vincent Tabone has yielded some interesting news items, most notably the de-fenses of the three men for what they are accused of doing.

The three men who were arrested for allegedly scheming to put Smith on the ballot as a Republican in last year's Mayor's race have had some interesting excuses for their actions.

Tabone claimed that he was too drunk to realize that what he was doing was illegal, saying he had consumed too many vodka tonics before being approached to accept a $25,000 bribe on behalf of Smith. In cash. In a car parked outside a Manhattan restaurant. At night.

Even before he knew how to play the guitar, Mark Bacino’s love of music led to his own creativity.

According to his bio, as a kid, he assembled his own drum kit from cardboard boxes, tin pie plates and chopsticks. From there, the sounds of AM and FM radio led him to write his own poetry.

Eventually, he taught himself how to play guitar. After his college band broke up, Bacino started recording songs by himself. The result of this songwriting was his first full-length album, “Pop Job,” in 1998.

“When I come up with an idea, it’s usually the result of me absentmindedly humming a melody over some sort of chord progression that’s randomly found its way under my fingers on piano or guitar,” Bacino said. “Later, said melody eventually implies a kind of rhyme scheme, which ultimately gives way to proper lyrics inspired by the mood of the music and whatever else might be happening in my life at the time.”

Since that first record, Bacino’s songwriting has become more personal, dis-cussing his life with a touch of humor in his lyrics, es-pecially on the melancholy numbers. Instrumentally, his songs run the gamut in terms of tempo and style. From straightforward rock (“Want You Around”) to a horn-filled jam (“Muffin in the Oven”) to a string-laden lullaby (“Bridge & Tunnel”), he feels at home in any style, writing catchy songs that stick in the lis-tener’s mind.

Bacino’s latest album, 2010’s “Queens English,” is a love letter to the outer

boroughs, a record that came together as the songwriter moved back to Queens after a stint in Manhattan. As he started a family, he used the outer boroughs to sing about the major changes happening in his own life.

“Songs that featured the outer boroughs as backdrop and, in some cases, metaphor for the changes happening in my life,” he said. “Although Queens sits geographically close to Manhattan, it’s a very different place. That thought has never been lost on me and it’s a thought I’ve always been fascinated by. It’s a theme I touch on quite a bit on the ‘Queens English’ album.”

Besides his own work, Bacino also composes music for television and film. Writ-ing for a client forces him to work at a faster pace than he does for his own work, where he usually waits for inspira-tion to strike. Bacino’s time composing for others taught him that creating something quickly often yields the best results.

“I was always of the mindset, especially with my own music, that great work needed to be labored over and hyper-crafted,” he said. “Sometimes the results of those marathon sessions were pleasantly surprising, so I try to remember that when I’m obsessing over something I’m working on for myself.”

For the rest of the year, Bacino will be working on new music, while also composing more tunes for television in his new, personal studio. To keep up with the latest from the Queens songwriter, visit www.markbacino.com.

Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is visiting a well-known residence on Pennsylvania Avenue to dis-cuss an issue that gave him some flack. Murphy, who usually serves as the table-setter for the heart of the Mets lineup, was at the White House on Monday, June 9 to discuss the state of working dads in the United States. Murphy was criticized on sports talk radio for missing the team’s first two games of this season to be with his wife for the birth of their son, Noah, including the home opener against the Nationals. Talk show hosts Mike Francesa and Boomer Esiason both criticized Murphy for leaving the team to witness the birth. Esiason said that Murphy’s wife, Tori, should have gotten a C-section so that Murphy could play the games. He later apologized for that comment.

What Causes Corruption?Insanity, Insecurity and Alcohol

There is no shortage of alumni from this publication that have gone on to gain a larger level of acclaim, and we can add one more to that list. Frequent contributor Barbara Arnstein sends word that her story, "The Mystifying Mr. Jacob," has been picked up by Fate magazine, whose tag line boasts "True Reports of the Strange and Unknown." The story appears in the September-October issue. The magazine has already commis-sioned her to write more pieces. We look forward to reading them!

Halloran attempted to gain some sympathy by invok-ing the brain tumor he had removed in 2012 as clouding his judgment in participating in the scheme.

While no one would joke about the serious medical condition the for-mer Councilman faced, his last-minute attempt to dodge responsibity for his actions seemed to be a "Hail Mary" play, quickly dismissed by the judge in the case because the time for pre-trial motions had passed.

Finally, Smith, who was ousted as State Sen-ate Majority Leader dur-ing a shake-up in 2009,

Under MLB’s collective bargaining agreement, players are allowed up to a three-day absence for paternity leave. Murphy stuck to his guns when he was criticized for tak-ing the short leave of absence and he continued to do so at the White House this week. We certainly commend him for wanting to be there for his family, even through the busy schedule that is the MLB sea-son. We hope that the second baseman enjoys Father's Day.

was said to feel "marginalized" about what he called a "coup" and was looking for other avenues to reassert his power in the political spectrum.

When asked to testify, State Sen. Diane Savino, another member of the breakaway Independent Democratic Conference, said Smith's plan to run for Mayor as a Republican was "goofy," but that he was serious about it.

The scheme that resulted in these three men standing trial may have been goofy, but their reasons for being put in this situation may actually be crazier.

Only time will tell if the defense holds up...
