Behind every physician and health care center there are in-dividuals behind the scenes who are responsible for the care and delivery of services. These indi-viduals are the health care man-agers and administrators. These individuals are often overlooked yet play an essential roll in the care and treatment that people receive. One individual that has excelled in this area is Jason Maffia. Mr. Jason Maffia has worked diligently to develop and implement systems and service in order to enhance the quality of care at the Medisys Center as well as work on proving the com-munity with outstanding medical services.Shirley H., College Point

By Vincent AlVArez

Each Labor Day, we pay tribute to the hardworking men and women who keep our city up and running. Whether they educate our children, construct and protect our buildings, run City agency operations, or main-tain the City’s aging infrastructure, we salute their commitment to pro-viding quality, dignified service.

It’s no secret that this has been a turbulent year for working people. Throughout our country, the rights and benefits of working people have been under attack. From Michigan, to Chicago, to New Jersey, working people have had to fight to ensure that they get what they need to get by. Workers in the city are continuing to fight for increased safety regulations at construction sites, and fair wages and benefits for the workers who provide vital care services for our city’s aged and infirm. And as local schools prepare to open their doors for students, teachers and other mu-nicipal employees are still without a valid contract.

Despite these challenges, however, we have continued to make strides for workers. For the first time ever, New

York City carwash workers signed a union contract, and fast food work-ers are fighting back for fair wages and the right to organize for the protec-tions of a union, without retaliation. In addition to these organizing efforts, Labor is united and standing up to pay tribute to work-ers, and to help elect candidates who will make sure that work-ing men and women get the wages and benefits they need to make ends meet.

This year, with the upcoming elections, major changes are on the horizon. Union members have been hitting the streets, and supporting the candidates we be-lieve will deal fairly and creatively with working people and their union leaders. We understand that the votes that are cast this fall will undoubtedly change our city’s political landscape, and we want to ensure that Labor and union members have a true seat at the table.

While we may not all agree on who will be the best new mayor, we have made 49 unified endorsements in City races. These endorsements of these candidates signify a cohe-sive labor movement, committed to standing up for the folks who support

working people. We are supporting the candidates who will address workers’ needs day in and day out, and who will best represent workers’ in-terests. Just this year alone, City Council has stood up and sup-ported measures de-signed to help improve the health, safety and freedom of working people. Labor’s goal is not just to elect politicians, but to pass pro-worker budgets and policies, aimed at protecting the rights

of all working people.For far too long, the needs of

working New Yorkers have been placed on the back burner, while cor-porations and business interests have

NYC Labor: United To Create Change For Allbeen allowed undue influence on the way our city is run.

It is about time that all working people got a say in the political pro-cess. Our efforts this Labor Day are utilizing the strength and resources of everyday, hardworking people, for the benefit of working New York-ers. That’s the difference between Labor’s efforts, and the pro-big busi-ness PACs, accepting exorbitant amounts of money from corpora-tions seeking even greater influence in City politics.

We are confident that the candi-dates we are supporting will do right by working people. We have had 12 years of an administration that has chosen to favor the interests of the wealthy over the needs of everyday working people and their families. All of our elected officials must deal fairly with all workers because, af-ter all, it’s our working people who make New York the greatest city in the world.

LEISURE

Last weekend, NBA point guard Royal Ivey returned to his hometown in Hollis to re-launch his annual three-day summer workshop, the “Defending Your Dream” skills clinic.

For six years, the NBA star and his parents, Rod and Jennifer Ivey, have been giving back to the community with the clinic that not only helps kids perfect their basketball skills, but also stresses the importance of education, respect, discipline and teamwork.

In addition to playing in competi-tions and running drills, the children, ages 8-14, have access to a number of workshops like character building and career guidance, nutrition counseling and financial literacy.

“I wanted to do something that ca-tered to life skills and basketball,” said Ivey, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers last season. “Life is not just about basketball – there are other things. It’s

about the essentials like nutrition, eat-ing right and educating the kids.”

Ivey, who grew up in Hollis and attended Benjamin Cardozo High School in Bayside, said that when he was younger, there were not a lot of workshops like this available in his community. This is why, he said, he was motivated to start the free clinic at the Hollis Playground.

“There are no outlets [in Southeast Queens] for our kids in the sum-mertime to go out there and enjoy themselves and to learn and have fun,” he said. “This is the way that I can give back. Just putting the smiles on the kids’ face – I have fun with it and that puts joy in my heart.”

Michael Harvey, an 11-year-old Hollis boy, is just one of many children who return to the clinic year after year to brush up on his basketball and life skills.

“I joined this program because it’s great and it teaches me many skills, like the fundamentals of the game,” Harvey

said. “The reason why I like this game is because it makes me more active and more focused.”

In addition to running drills and playing with Ivey this past weekend, the kids got another surprise– a special visit from ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith and Chicago Bulls center Nazr Mohammed.

Smith, who also grew up in Hollis, similarly stressed the importance of hav-

ing programs like this available for kids, like Harvey, in his community.

“I think we need more for the kids to do. The more they are doing other things, the less they are off the streets,” Smith explained. “Things like this encourage volunteers and people to give up their time and effort to really talk to these kids and have an impact in their lives. Those are the kinds of things that saved me. I was part of a program like this.”

“There are so many kids out there that don’t have a family encourag-ing them – they are in the streets and they are not doing the things they are supposed to do,” he added.

“When you see something like this, you realize there is hope for our younger generation and that we have to be the ones to help.”

While visiting a hospital can be a foreboding experience, New York Hos-pital Queens is using art to brighten up their patients’ days.

The hospital held a reception on Aug. 21 to celebrate the completion of the first phase of its Community Art Garden. Around 75 pieces of artwork line one wall in the radiology corri-dor, offering inspirational paintings for patients and employees to enjoy. Given its success with patients, NYHQ is starting phase two, giving more artists the chance to show their creativity.

During the reception, blank 12-inch-by-12-inch canvases were given out to all who wanted them, whether they were hos-pital workers or just people wandering in for other reasons. When finished, the pieces captured certain themes, including healing, compassion, health, wellness, diversity, community and Queens. The art has been a big hit with all who have seen it so far.

“Patients, employees, visitors, they’ve all been in awe. They’ve all stopped and commented,” Kerry McHale, public affairs and marketing coordinator at NYHQ, said. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive.”

Among the artists whose work is on display are Nicole Manfield, in-patient physical therapy supervisor, and Anita Liu-Chen, administrative director for rehab.

“The rehab department decided to do this as a team-building exercise. Half our department is new so it was

a great way for us to get to know each other bet-ter,” Manfield said. “It’s wonderful that it’s now hanging up on the hall-way, so a lot of patients and other employees stop by to look.”

“I actually did it with my three-year-old son at home. It was a lot of fun,” Liu-Chen said. “Pa-tients love it. It’s uplift-ing, it’s inspirational, it gives them some positive feeling while coming to a

hospital setting.”Liu-Chen added that the depart-

ment is thinking about having patients paint a canvas as part of their physical rehab sessions.

Anyone who wants a chance to paint can grab a canvas at the Department of Volunteer Services office, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The paintings and a signed release form must be submitted by Sept. 30. For more information, call (718) 670-1125 or visit www.nyhq.org/call-for-artists.

If you head over to 119th Street in College Point, you would find what looks like the offices and warehouses of the JAD Corporation. However, be-hind one of these doors lie not boxes, machines or equipment. Instead, you will find the College Point Badminton Court.

The court, found at 20-24 119th St., came into existence due to the inter-est of JAD CEO and president Joseph Dussich, an empty warehouse with the right dimensions and a growing fan base in Queens for the sport.

College Point Badminton Court has been open for four years. In that time, it has added more than 1,000 members, according to one of the owners, Kevin Ng. He attributed this success to the organization’s three tournaments each year, their open courts available for rental and bad-minton’s growing influence among the Asian population.

“We have members from New Jer-sey, from Connecticut. We even have people from Virginia, because of our reputation,” Ng said. “Right now, in America, new immigrants from the Asian countries really love this sport and we try to promote it.”

Dussich had an open warehouse that was not in use as part of JAD’s

manufacturing. While visiting San Francisco, he became intrigued by a badminton court with which one of his friends was involved. He said he also felt the popularity of the sport was booming in the Asian commu-nity, partially due to China winning the Gold Medal in badminton in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

The biggest challenge when try-ing to create a badminton court is having a space big enough in height and width with no obstructions, like columns, in the middle. Luckily for Dussich, his available warehouse fit federation regulations.

“I contacted an Asian real estate agency, told them I had a building available that would be perfect for badminton,” he said. “I spoke with the owners of the business and I liked what they had to say. They were community-minded. I’m very community-minded.”

With many kids in College Point and Flushing just a bus ride away, the court’s success has been good not only for business, but for the surrounding neighborhoods as well.

“It’s a great community activity,” Dussich said. “It keeps you in good shape, keeps you off the streets and it’s very competitive.”

legislative updateAddabbo Supports Speed Cameras

State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) recently applauded the passage of a new state law (S.4459A/A.4327A), signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 1 and going into ef-fect Aug. 31, coinciding with the start of the new school year.

The legislation per-mits New York City to establish a five-year

demonstration/pilot program to monitor school speed zones in the five boroughs with speed cameras and allows evi-dence captured on cam-era to be used to impose liability for speeding. The new law will enhance the safety of children, pedestrians and drivers in New York City school speed zones by encouraging drivers to drive with caution through these areas and supplement law enforcement efforts to catch violations and prevent accidents caused by speeding.

According to Addabbo, at his con-stituents’ requests, he joined a rally of parents, students and administrators in June at PS 232, to help keep stu-dents safe from injury at arrival and

dismissal by speeding drivers at the dangerous intersection outside the busy Lindenwood Shopping Center parking lot, across from the school, at 153rd Avenue and 83rd Street in

Howard Beach. Parents from another school in Howard Beach, PS 207, frequently call the Sen-ator complaining about speeding cars near their school. Addabbo has requested that both PS 232 and PS 207 be con-sidered for the installa-tion of a speed camera monitoring system.

“I voted for this bill because parents and school officials in my district were expressing to me their concerns

about the speeding drivers travel-ing the streets in their school safety zones that see heavy traffic, but have inadequate traffic-calming measures,” Addabbo said.

Bill Prioritizes Culture In City

Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), chair of the Coun-cil’s Cultural Affairs Committee, and Councilman Stephen Levin (D-Brook-lyn) have introduced legislation at the

New York City Council that would re-quire the City to have a cultural plan.

The bill calls on the City to analyze their current cultural priorities, de-termine how different communities are being served and how they propose to improve these services, study the condition of artists in the City today and plan how NYC can remain an art-ist friendly city in a time of skyrocketing rents and other economic pres-sures. The plan also calls for the City to go out to communities throughout the five boroughs and find out what they want and need in a cultural plan and to incorporate these recommendations in the plan.

The bill was introduced in response to the lack of cultural planning for New York City. Cities across the country routinely make cultural plans that re-flect the needs and desires of their resi-dents for a robust and effective cultural policy and yet NYC has never conduct-ed a systematic cultural plan.

“I believe it is imperative that we initiate institutional policies that will firmly set our City’s foundation as the leading cultural capital of the world,” Van Bramer said. “The plan will re-

quire the Department of Cultural Af-fairs to analyze whether some neigh-borhoods are better served by culture than others. It will require an analysis of the needs of artists. It will also re-

quire the Department to outline how it in-tends to increase par-ticipation in cultural activities throughout the City. By including these real, straight-forward and tangible goals, New York City will have a clear plan and goal as to how to maintain its status as the cultural capital of the world.”

“Artists and cultural organizations are criti-cal to the vitality and

economy of neighborhoods through-out the city,” said Mary Ceruti, execu-tive director and chief curator, Sculp-tureCenter. “As New York continues to grow and evolve, our cultural policies need to respond to new contexts and new needs. Comprehensive cultural planning would assess and analyze the cultural landscape throughout all five boroughs. It would also help to ensure that New York City remains a place of creativity and innovation as well as a destination for cultural tourists from around the world.”

When the Democratic candidates for the City Council District 19 seat meet up, sparks fly as they argue about what is best for the district. On Aug. 27 though, four of the candidates united to condemn a mudslinging campaign by Jobs for New York, the political ac-tion committee that has endorsed Paul Vallone.

Candidates Austin Shafran, Paul Graziano, John Duane and Chrissy Voskerichian came together with State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) to denounce what they see as an at-tempt by the Real Estate Board to buy the election through the Jobs for New York PAC. In addition, they criticized Vallone for not speaking out against the attack flyers.

One piece out of the five released used a quote from a local newspaper in 2001, which said that Graziano spouts “inflammatory nonsense.” The

The City Planning Commission voted in favor of a much-debated de-velopment project across the street from Citi Field, where auto shop owners have run their small busi-nesses as a group for decades.

The soon-to-be built mega-mall along 126th Street and mixed use complex development is undertaking Phase One of its process, put forth by a $3 billion private investment by the Queens Development Corp, a joint venture of Sterling Equities and Re-lated Companies.

During the CPC’s public meeting on Aug. 21, the 13-member panel voted in favor of the project.

“Willets Point is on its way to be-coming remediated and ultimately becoming an active and inviting destination,” Chairwoman Amanda Burden said.

The only board member to vote against the project was Michelle de la Uz, who questioned the need to build another mega-mall, especially at this location, which legally is a public park and is in close proximity to the Sky View Center.

Ivan Contreras, a community or-ganizer for the Queens Housing Co-alition, said they were expecting to hear more recommendations from the commissioners in regards to the affordable housing portion of the re-development project.

“Maybe they don’t care about what is going on in the Borough,” Contreras said. “We still have no le-gal guarantee and only hear verbal agreements about affordable hous-ing.”

Aside from the lack of affordable housing portion of the redevelop-ment plan, de la Uz also criticized the “questionable and weak” attempts to relocate more than 100 minority-owned small businesses.

Marco Neira, the president of the Sunrise Co-Op, said the rent payouts provided by the additional $3 million fund put in place by the Economic Development Corp. is not nearly enough to survive.

“They say they will pay for relo-cation and our rent costs for up to a year, but it is still not enough,” Neira said.

Queens Borough President Hel-en Marshall approved the project in its entirety in late June, which entails cleaning up the site, con-structing retail development, office and residential space, while build-ing on its close proximity to the sporting venue with access to mass transit. Of those units, 35 percents will be affordable for low-income families.

Within the next 50 days, the City Council will vote on plans to rede-velop the Willets Point area.

Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis) and Coun-cilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), respectively, who were arrested ear-lier this year. Neither Shafran nor Voskerichian have been accused of any wrongdoing.

“Anyone who benefits from these reprehensible attacks and fails to de-nounce them is as bad as the people

behind those attacks,” Shafran said. “Anyone who sits on the sidelines while their political opponents have their character and integrity called into question shows that they lack the character and integrity worthy of rep-resenting this community.”

“[Vallone] was quoted in the Daily News yesterday saying, ’We have noth-ing to do with this campaign.’ Well, if you have nothing to do with it, why should you have a problem saying this is wrong?” asked Graziano.

“Paul Vallone should be ashamed of the actions that Jobs for New York has taken on his behalf, but clearly he has no shame,” Voskerichian said.

Vallone’s spokesman Austin Finan said the campaign was not supervising Jobs for New York.

“By law, candidates have no control over outside spending, nor can they coordinate with expenditure efforts,” Finan said. “Those opponents of Paul Vallone who repeatedly lie about these facts continue to demonstrate they lack the honesty and integrity to represent northeast Queens in the City Council.”

The Rockaway Ferry has been ex-tended into next year and now two elected officials are calling on all may-oral candidates to support its perma-nent service.

Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) and Assemblyman Phil Gold-feder (D-Ozone Park) are asking ev-ery candidate running for Mayor to sign a pledge backing the service that runs from the Rockaways to Manhat-tan.

Last week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the fer-ry would continue to run until Jan. 31, 2014. Although both Ulrich and Goldfeder said they were elated about that announcement, they are asking for the candidates’ support as the next Mayor will decide if the ferry will continue to serve commuters past early next year.

“Our constituents deserve per-manent ferry service and the future Mayor of our great city is the only one who can guarantee that,” Ulrich said.

In a press release issued by Ulrich’s office, Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) and Republi-

Pols Call For Permanent Rockaway Ferry Service

can candidate Joe Lhota both said they would support keeping the ferry full-time.

“When I’m Mayor, I’ll make that ferry permanent, and make sure it stays at the current $2 fare,” Quinn said in a statement.

“Making this ferry service per-manent will make a big difference in improving the quality of life for New Yorkers,” Lhota said.

Dani Lever, a spokeswoman for Mayoral candidate Bill Thompson, said they would evaluate the service before making any permanent deci-sions on it.

“Bill Thompson supports and would continue the ferry service to the Rockaways, but would evaluate rider-ship as well as meet with the commu-nity before making long-term deci-sions,” she said in an email.

The Bill de Blasio, John Liu and Sal Albanese campaigns also said they support making the ferry per-manent.

The ferry, located at Beach 108th Street and Beach Channel Drive in the Rockaways, costs $2 to ride, cheaper than the $2.50 subway fare.

Queens TrIbune endorsemenTsQueens Borough President

Democratic PrimaryQueens is the fastest growing County in the City, and as we look

toward an uncertain financial future, the Borough requires a strong, independent voice that will fight to ensure that Queens gets its fair share in comparison to the rest of the City.

We have no doubt that both Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. and former Councilwoman Melinda Katz would serve as strong advocates for the people of Queens. But only one of these candidates stands out more as an independent leader, whose voice will be heard not just in Queens, but throughout the City.

While we disagree on some issues – Stop and Frisk being an important example – Peter Vallone Jr. has spent his time as a City Councilman doing what he believed was right to fight for the people of Queens. Melinda Katz is a capable candidate, who has proven herself extremely knowledgeable with regards to zoning and land use. However, her strong connection to and dependence on real estate developers in both this campaign and her previous campaign for Comptroller gives us some pause.

As Borough President, we believe Vallone will ensure Queens has someone who will stand above the crowd and have his voice heard at City Hall.

The Queens Tribune endorses Peter Vallone Jr.

City Council District 19 Democratic Primary

For the past few months, the 19th City Council District has had an absentee official, as the man elected to represent this district awaits trial on fraud charges and seems more interested in setting up busi-ness for his post-Council career. District 19 needs a fresh start and this primary is an opportunity to move past a stormy present.

The district needs someone with experience in governmental affairs,

someone who knows how the system works, someone who will make sure the district receives its share of funds from City Hall. Having worked for both former U.S. Rep. Gary Ackerman and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, we believe Austin Shafran will give the 19th District the type of leadership it needs to properly represent his constituents.

The Queens Tribune endorses Austin Shafran.

District 22 Democratic Primary A number of strong candidates seek to replace the term-limited Peter

Vallone Jr., with hopes of representing one of the fastest-growing areas in the Borough. The district requires an experienced hand who will continue the work to better the district.

With a decade’s worth of service on Community Board 1 and time as a member of the School Board in Astoria previous to that, Constan-tinos “Gus” Prentzas has a wealth of experience dealing with issues important to the district.

While his main competition for the seat, district leader Costa Con-stantinides, has also proven to be a valuable asset to the community, we believe Prentzas is the right independent choice to lead the district as its next Councilman.

The Queens Tribune endorses Constantinos “Gus” Prentzas.

District 24 Democratic PrimaryOne of a number of districts that will welcome a new face thanks to

term-limited Councilmen, District 24 will benefit from an experienced hand. In his time as an Assemblyman, Rory Lancman always fought for his constituents, and we believe he will continue to do so as a member of the City Council.

We believe he is the right individual for the job, although we hope that on the City Council, he will learn to work better with his fellow Council members to get what is best for his constituents.

The Queens Tribune endorses Rory Lancman.

Dear Mr. President: As the crisis in Egypt continues to escalate, I and many of the constituents I represent in my

Assembly District are deeply troubled over the rise of anti-Christian perse-cution in said country. A recent hate campaign initiated by Islamists in Cairo included the torching and looting of a Franciscan school. Three nuns were paraded through the streets, humili-ated and harassed. Two other women employed by the school were sexually abused as they fought for their lives against the angry mob.

Time To Speak Out On EgyptUnfortunately, this is but one incident

among countless others throughout the region as churches, businesses and homes owned by the Coptic Christian minor-ity are continuously under attack from supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood retaliating against the military’s removal of President Mohammed Morsi.

We in the Jewish community know all too well the destructive power of unrelenting intolerance and hate. As a Jew, just one generation removed from the Holocaust, I am reminded of the infamous night in 1938, Kristallnacht. The Nazis conducted a coordinated

pogrom against German and Austrian Jews. Synagogues, businesses, hospitals and schools were ransacked and 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps. While much of the civilized world in-cluding the United States condemned these actions, they stood still as Hitler and his regime were allowed to amass global influence leading to the extermi-nation of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of homosexuals, Gypsies and handicapped.

We must not remain silent! History is once again repeating itself.

The Coptic Christians of Egypt are facing their own Kristallnacht 75 years after the Jews of Germany and Austria.

As the leader of the free world, you must take a strong position against this bloodshed. These extremists are intent on promoting an agenda of religious subjugation and disregarding the rule of law. Even if one were to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood came to power democratically as Adolph Hitler did, we must also remember that democracy without respect for all its citizens is mob rule. The United States must stand with the Coptic Christians and send a clear message to the world that those who wish to exercise their beliefs can do so without fear.

Hopeful young undocumented immigrants shared their stories with Public Advocate candidate Reshma Saujani and Assemblyman Francisco Moya (D-Jackson Heights) at a town hall titled, “DREAMers for Reshma,” on Aug. 22 at the Jewish Center of Jackson Heights.

“When I think about who inspires me, it’s the DREAMers,” Saujani said. “They have so much to lose—so much more to lose than all of us [with

Queens Undocumented Youth Speak Out status]—but they are out there fight-ing everyday.”

When Razeen Zaman, 23, a resi-dent of Jackson Heights, said she found out at the age of 14 that she and her family are undocumented immigrants, she was angry and con-fused, but was asked to remain silent about her status.

She also found out that she would not be able to apply for a work permit, a driver’s license or receive financial aid for college like all of her other friends were doing at the time.

Zaman said she wanted to continue

her education after high school and never thought otherwise. Therefore, she did not allow her status to come in the way of her 4.0 grade point av-erage during her time at Sarah Law-rence College or her admission to law school.

Now a campaign organizer for the New York State Youth Leadership Council, Zaman was one of the first undocumented youth to transcribe what is now the NYS Dream Act.

“Oppression is not my permanent condition,” Zaman said. “Being public about your status is the safest thing to

do because you build trust and com-munity around your story.”

Zaman, along with 15 undocu-mented youth, traveled by foot for nine days to Albany from the City to advocate for the Dream Act, as a grass-roots effort not common to many.

She said they all had to express the urgency of passing this bill because their parents did not “cross the oceans for their kids to be denied the right for education.”

The developer of a series of pro-posed chain restaurants being built in Elmhurst faced criticism of the project during a meeting Tuesday night.

On Aug. 27, members of Commu-nity Board 4 and the Newtown Civic Association met with Carl Mattone, president of the Mattone Group, to clarify concerns to help bridge a com-munication gap pertaining to the proj-ect’s development.

The development will bring three restaurants – Longhorn Steakhouse,

Mattone, Civics Meet On Chain RestaurantsOlive Garden and Joe’s Crab Shack – to a former parking lot near the Queens Center Mall. When the Mat-tone Group originally purchased the land, 13 years ago, the plans called for a new movie theater and a proposed senior center at the site of the Elm-wood Theatre.

When the original plans began to break down, community members be-gan to feel misled about the scope of the project.

Mattone noted that “there is a lot of misinformation about this project,” because it has seen a number of com-plicated scenarios that were out of his

control. He added that despite the new project’s smaller scope, the three res-taurants proposed would bring close to 300 permanent jobs to the area.

While Audrey Galligan, a long-time CB4 member, questioned the need for three more restaurants in an area “loaded with restaurants,” Mat-tone said he believed the project fit the needs of the community.

Robert Valdes-Clausell, a member of the Newtown Civic Association, charged that the project has seen “a lack of transparency,” adding that too many questions were left unanswered.

“Even though Mattone was pres-

ent at the meeting, he was not able to answer many of the legal questions because he said he is not a lawyer,” Valdes-Clausell said.

Valdes-Clausell said the developer purchased the land for below market value contingent on donating land for the senior center. Mattone responded to the criticism saying that the prop-erty was bought at fair market value at the time.

“The City doesn’t even give ice away during the winter,” Mattone said.

This relief is also applicable to child (including step child), fi ance and parent of US citizens or green card holder.

2. PARENTS OF US CITIZEN WANTING TO WORK AND MAINTAIN THEIR CHILDREN: Are you a parent of a US Citizen Child or Green card holder? You may be administratively approved for a work permit to enable you to maintain your family? This is an administrative relief subject to discretion of the government offi cials.

Sexual aSSault – The NYPD is asking the public’s assistance with the whereabouts and identity of the following individual wanted for a sex-ual assault.

At 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 18, inside the South Jamaica Housing Development, a Black male approached a 13-year-old female victim and followed her to the elevator. While inside the elevator, the suspect sexually assaulted the victim. When they reached the victim’s floor, the victim screamed and the suspect fled the elevator to parts unknown.

The suspect is described as between 20-25 years old, 5-foot-8 with a thin build. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, black and white T-shirt and a black and white baseball cap.

Rape – The NYPD is asking the public’s assistance identifying a sus-pect wanted for a rape.

At approximately 10 p.m. on Aug. 23, the victim, a 52-year-old female, was exiting the R train on 63rd Drive and Queens Boulevard when the sus-pect began asking for her name and phone number. The victim refused and walked to a pharmacy on 63rd Drive. The suspect followed the victim into the store and started to harass her inside the store. After the suspect left the store, the victim left the pharmacy while the suspect stood waiting out-side for her.

The suspect followed the victim, and, in front of 63-45 Saunders Street, the suspect grabbed her, threw her down a flight of steps and raped her. The suspect then removed the victim’s cell phone and purse. EMS transport-ed the victim to an area hospital.

The suspect is described as a Black male in his 20s, 5-foot-7 with a mous-tache. The suspect told the victim his name was “Junior.”

49-year-old Asian woman was walk-ing southbound on 79th Street when the suspect, a white male in his 60s who had exited a black Ford pickup, approached her and forcibly removed her pocketbook. The victim chased the suspect back to the truck and was subsequently dragged by the truck as it fled. The victim received minor in-juries and refused medical attention at the scene.

It was later discovered, after ob-taining the license plate of the Ford, that the truck was reported stolen on Aug. 20 from West Palm Beach, Fla., and that a .38 caliber revolver was in the truck when it was stolen.

Later on Aug. 22, at approximately 8:50 p.m., officers observed the truck traveling southbound on Crescent Street, in the vicinity of Broadway. The uniformed officers attempted to pull the truck over. Shots were fired and one of the officers was struck by the truck as it fled the scene. Both of-ficers were removed to Cornell Medi-cal Center with non-life threatening injuries, where they were treated and released.

The vehicle was later found on 24th Street, in the vicinity of 37th Avenue. During a canvass of the area, a cell phone was discovered and the suspect was identified as Gary Sarback, 61, of Lake Worth, Fla.

Unionized custodians say they are being treated dirty by the Queens Li-brary Administration.

According to the Local 1321 of Dis-trict Council 27, the library has been replacing union workers with lower-paid private contractors to clean the Central Branch in Jamaica.

Adding insult to injury, union lead-ers claim the cash-strapped library has been giving Administration employ-ees hefty salaries and raises, which they speculate is being paid for by the library’s extra savings.

According to John Hyslop, presi-dent of Local 1321, since 2011 the li-brary spent $2.7 million in non-union administrative raises.

“These aren’t tax dollars, these are City funds,” he said. “The City should be supporting jobs with a decent sal-ary and benefits and pensions and not hiring a private company that pays minimum wage with no benefits and then keep the profit.”

Hyslop also claims the Queens Li-brary Administration gave $340,000 in raises to its non-union staff and be-tween April 2011 and May 2012, the Queens Library president and CEO earned $379,313 – citing the web-site Seethroughny.net as his primary source.

Union Workers, Library Clash Over CleaningAlthough it has not been confirmed,

Hyslop and union workers have heard rumors that these hiring practices are also being used at other branches.

“I’ve heard rumors that now they [private contractors] are now being used at Flushing [Library],” he told the Queens Tribune.

But Joanne King, communications director for Queens Library, ques-tioned the validity of those figures, arguing that “there is no way to de-termine that” and that the numbers sounded “odd.”

King, however, did not deny that a part of the library’s savings may have been allocated to staffers.

“It [the money saved] is part of the library’s operating budget and is used to provide public service,” she said in an email. “Every dollar is either allo-cated to books, to staff, to utilities or similar.”

Although Hyslop and union work-ers said they feel that hiring private contractors jeopardizes the quality of work, the Administration feels other-wise and defended their decision to hire hourly-rate contract cleaners to supple-ment full-time union custodians.

“In July, the Library increased the number of libraries being cleaned by hourly-rate contractors from 7 to 8,” the library said in an emailed state-ment. “The Library employs 71 full-time custodians who are valued mem-

bers of the team and who provide a range of critical services above and beyond that of hourly-rate contract cleaners. No custodians have lost their jobs as a result of increasing hourly-rate contract cleaning.”

Local leaders have also chimed in on the debate. Last month, Coun-cilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) wrote a letter to Galante, the library’s CEO and president, express-ing his opposition to contract out cus-todial work instead of renewing con-

tracts for union custodians. “I truly believe in the Queens Li-

brary’s mission to serve all of our many diverse communities. Howev-er, I feel that your efforts undermine union jobs for these very same com-munity members run counter to your mission,” the Councilman wrote.

Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) stopped by the Queens Tribune office to discuss her campaign and her goals for the City if elected Mayor.

During her visit on Aug. 27, the mayoral candidate talked about ev-erything from education to Stop and Frisk, from flooding to Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Quinn spent some time touching on Queens-specific issues, such as the proposed developments for FMCP. While she does not have a position yet on the Major League Soccer stadium, since that proposal is still in limbo, she did speak at length on the Willets Point project. Quinn said that there needs to be a way for projects with provisions to be backed up by threats against developers if they do not come through.

“In development agreements where there’s a requirement to do affordable housing or create jobs, we need to find a legal way to put claw back provisions in those deals,” she said. “If they don’t come through with what they com-mitted, we claw back the money they got. The first time we claw it back, it’s not going to happen again.”

Addressing the issue of the auto-shop owners in Willets Points, she

Quinn Stops In To Talk Mayoral Run

said it has not been handled well by the City and needs to be resolved quickly.

Moving to Citywide education, Quinn outlined a plan that would move away from the City’s policy of teaching to the test and would involve all facets of the student’s life to im-prove all the schools in the City, espe-cially the weaker ones.

In addition to getting parents more involved in the process, Quinn would introduce a teacher training program where a senior teacher takes a break from the classroom to partner with first-year teachers and give them

hands-on assistance. Through-out her first term, Quinn said she would look into lengthen-ing the school day as well.

Quinn argued against the Bloomberg administration’s constant closing of schools, believing that while closures may occasionally be neces-sary, it is being done far too frequently and without a good system in place.

“I think the problem is that school closings have be-come almost the policy, as if that’s something to be proud of. What I would do as Mayor is put a red flag warning sys-tem, so two or three years out, you know a school is having challenges,” Quinn said. “We

spent $20 to $30 million a year closing schools. Let’s take some of that money and invest in programs that we can put in place to save the school.”

As Council Speaker, Quinn has been at the center of the Stop and Frisk debate, particularly the steps taken this year to rein the policy in, through the Community Safety Act and the cre-ation of an inspector general for the NYPD. While some community lead-ers and elected officials have said that these moves would harm public safety, Quinn disagreed.

“Some folks have said that the

choice has to be between being the safest big city in America or keeping people’s civil liberties intact. That does not have to be the choice at all,” she said. “The independent police moni-toring legislation we passed last week will make sure we can be both those things.”

Despite her stance on Stop and Frisk, Quinn thought Police Commis-sioner Ray Kelly did a good job overall and would consider keeping him on if he agreed to cut back on that program. In an effort to improve communica-tion between neighborhoods and the police, Quinn would hire 1,600 new officers, giving the force more time to engage with the community.

A personal issue for Quinn that has come up during this year’s election cycle is her temperament, which has been described as overly aggressive. Quinn did admit that she could be loud and pushy, she said it was some-times necessary to get things done for the people of New York.

“You want a New Yorker who’s tough. You want a New Yorker who’s pushy,” Quinn said. “You want a May-or who’s tough enough to lead. You want a Mayor who’s smart enough to listen. You also want a Mayor who’s compassionate enough to care.”


Quinn sat down with the Tribune edi-torial board to talk about her Mayoral run.

Helen Marshall

Queens needs a fighter who believes in the rights of all her citizens—one who believes that the diversity of the borough is an asset, not a flaw. Someone who sees Queens as a mecca for immigrants to come and make a life for themselves and their families, while embracing those who have lived in Queens for generation after generation. Melinda Katz is that candidate, and that is why we are endorsing her for Queens borough president.

Queens' richest son can't seem to keep himself away from controversy, which is probably just the way he likes it. Business mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump has turned a potential legal battle into a war of words with the state Attorney General. Earlier this week, reports indicated that AG Eric Schneiderman was suing Trump's investment

Tony Deyo

Looks like Martin Scorsese does not ‘depart’ far from what he’s good at.

Th is time, the Queens-born Academy Award-winning di-rector is producing yet another mafi a fi lm starring, you guessed it – Robert De Niro. Th e new movie marks the ninth time the two have collaborated.

Who knew the Mayor of New York dreamt of becoming a pianist?

While Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s offh anded remarks s u g g e s t i n g NYCHA resi-dents should b e f i n g e r -printed upon entering their b u i l d i n g s caused an out-burst of criti-cism, he kept a low profi le while visiting a new workspace studio for performing and visual artists.

He watched a dance number by a modern dance troupe on Tuesday aft er the ribbon cut-ting ceremony of Spaceworks in Long Island City, where he recalled a story about trying to convince his parents to pay for piano lessons.

He promised his parents he would practice every day, but had no luck convincing them of his conviction. But maybe his dream may come true aft er his term comes to an end this year.

Here at QConf, we can’t help but wonder what could have been: imagine the “Piano Men” tour, Mikey Bloomberg and Billy Joel.

Billy was right. Sometimes a fantasy is all you need…

Comedy had always been an attractive medium to Tony Deyo, but he never knew how to get into it.

When he moved to Aus-tin, Texas, though, he found the opportunity that would launch his career.

“I saw that there was a comedy class at the club there. I knew that if I was ever going to try, that was the time to do it,” he said. “The class got me on stage, which I think is always the biggest hurdle.”

From those days in a com-edy class, the Virginia-born Deyo has quickly become a comedy favorite, having performed at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival, on the Bob & Tom Radio Show and on SiriusXM Satellite Radio. His clean act, influenced by Jerry Seinfeld, has been a big hit with audiences.

After leaving Austin, Deyo moved to Greensboro, NC and then to Astoria, a neighbor-hood that he said has a thriv-ing comedy community.

“In Astoria, I can throw a rock and hit two comedi-ans' apartments,” he said. “When you're surrounded by incredibly talented people, it really makes you want to work harder.”

That hard work paid off

A number of straphangers headed for Flushing-Main Street on the 7 train Tuesday morning were forced to walk down Roosevelt Avenue when signal problems stopped all trains at Willets Point. A number of walkers could see a 7 train (seen at left ) stopped at the tunnel entrance by the Sky View Center. Who knows, maybe this is all part of Mayor Bloomberg's initiative to get people to walk more instead of taking public transportation...

Donald Trump At It Again

Heroes and Villains

Back on the Big Screen

A mailer released by Me-linda Katz’s Queens Borough President Campaign paints her opponent as right-wing super villain.

Th e fl yer calls Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., “Conservative Man,” which is a play on a fl yer sent out by the Vallone campaign, which portrayed himself as a superhero fi ghting for the future of the Borough.

Th e literature criticizes the Councilman for seeking out the Conservative Party support for his campaign, which Katz has attacked Vallone about prior to this mailer being sent out.

Th is QConf reporter won-ders if either of these Vallone superheroes can get into the upcoming Justice League movie. We can only imagine how they

Shattered Dreams

"Th e Family," which hits the-aters Set. 20, follows De Niro and his family, who has to enter the witness protection program aft er snitching to feds about all of his mobster crime buddies.

If this movie is anything like "Goodfellas" or "Th e Departed," the future of De Niro’s character is not looking too good…

Oh, MTA...

school, "Trump University," calling the institution an "elabo-rate bait-and-switch" on unsus-

pecting students. Trump, who received word of the suit over the weekend, called S c h n e i d e r m a n a hack, and questioned, "What government agency ... has ever brought a suit on a Saturday?" Trump may want to focus less on timing

and more on his school's cur-riculum...

would look on the big screen with Ben Affl eck, Henry Cavill and company.

when Deyo was selected to perform at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007. Being surrounded by about 50 comedians added some pressure for him to do well, but it mostly just increased his enjoyment of the experi-ence.

“Festivals are a lot of fun because of the comedians you get to meet and hang out with,” Deyo said.

While Deyo has a ton of experience on the road and on the radio, he is about to embark on a new journey in his career: his first televi-sion appearance. Deyo will perform on CONAN on Sept. 9. He had been sending videos of his work out to late night shows for a couple of years before the TBS talk show chose him.

“I started by sending a nine-minute video, and from that, he picked the jokes he thought would work well on the show,” Deyo said. I recorded just those jokes again in Philadelphia. He liked the set, and then it was just a matter of finding a date.”

Deyo will also be appear-ing at the Laughing Devil Comedy Club on Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.tonydeyo.com.
