Condoms And Crack Pipes Litter Sean’s Place
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
On Monday, Councilman Costa
Constantinides (D-Astoria), Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas
(D-Astoria) and state Sen. Michael
Gianaris (D-Astoria) were joined
by Community Board 1 Parks Chair
Richard Khuzami, Central Astoria LDC Executive Director Marie
Torniali and Astoria residents and
parents to highlight the conditions
of Sean’s Place Playground when left
unlocked at night.
“Sean’s Place has been known for
some issues over the last few years,
I was actually looking back at articles as early back as 2012, talking
about this being a consistent nighttime hangout,” said Constantinides.
“There are parents coming here in
the morning and finding things you
shouldn’t find in a children’s playground. These trespassers have come
and used the park in this illegal fashion; they leave their remnants behind for out children and families to
find in the morning.”
According to Constantinides,
there have been numerous complaints from parents in the neighborhood regarding drug paraphernalia,
crack pipes, used condoms and beer
bottles that are left in the park from
people who frequent the park after
park hours. The park is supposed to
close at 9 p.m., as shown on the sign
outside of the park fence, but has not
been locked for years on end.
The 114th Precinct has been patrolling the area, but Constantinides
said that it is “unfeasible to think that
somehow the police department was
going to be able to station a car out
in front of this park, or every park in
our district, every single night.”
Constantinides then said the
Parks Department has teamed up
with the police to “try to come here
as early as they can every morning
and yet we’d still have situations
where parents will be greeted by the
paraphernalia [discussed earlier].”
While not every park gets locked at
night, Constantinides expressed that
children in the area are at risk and
they have tried to deal with the issue
in other ways such as earlier cleanups, but there is no more avoiding
that the park should be locked and it
will be locked by a Parks staffer and
unlocked by a Parks staffer.
Gianaris joked that locking the
park shouldn’t be too hard to do.
“For years, we’ve been hearing
about the problems here at Sean’s
Place, for years we’ve been pushing the Parks Department and local
law enforcement to do something
about it and I want to thank Constantinides for really getting this
done with the Parks Department
and finally getting this park, which
has gates, locked. It shouldn’t be too
difficult to get it done, the gates are
here all you have to do is put a lock
on it at the right time, you’d be surprised how difficult that was,” said
Gianaris.

Councilman Costa Constantinides, assemblywoman aravella simotas and parents inform the community that sean’s Place will now
lock the gates at 9 p.m.
The Friends of Sean’s Place Playground added that there have been
complaints after some children have
reportedly placed both a crack pipe
and used condom in their mouths.
Simotas said that with both her
and Constantinides having children
of their own, it was motivation to get
this done a lot faster.
“All three elected officials in this
area grew up here. We are Astoria
natives, so we understand how important it is to play in parks,” said
Simotas. “But now that [Constantinides] and I have children of our
own it adds a heightened sense of
urgency because we recognize how
important it is to have safe places for
our children to play and we all had
been fighting for this even before
we had children, however when you
have children it becomes something
that we really fight extra hard for because that’s where our children go
to feel safe, that’s where they go to
play with other children. We have to
make sure that parks are safe at all
times of the day and children should
not be finding illicit materials in
their parks and putting a condom in
their mouth or putting a crack pipe
in their mouth, we should make sure
that parks are safe, period.”
The Parks Department will be
closing Sean’s Place Playground
every night at 9 p.m. and they will
reopen the park around 5 a.m., the
park has begun this process about a
week ago.

Innocent Man Spent 24 Years Behind Bars
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Flushing) is coordinating support for Han
Tak Lee, a Flushing resident who was
wrongfully imprisoned for 24 years in
Pennsylvania.
In 2014, courts found that the arson science used to convict Lee of killing his daughter in a 1989 fire in the
Poconos was bogus, and Lee was exonerated.
He has since been living in an
apartment in Murray Hill.
But at 82 years old, he has no substantial source of income, and Pennsylvania does not give monetary compensation to the wrongfully accused.
After $95,000 from a support group,
the National Committee to Free Han
Tak Lee, was almost depleted, Lee
reached out to Kim.
“He realized he was about to go
homeless,” Kim said. “I was in awe
and very saddened by his current condition and what he is going through.
And we felt compelled to step up and
make sure that he can live the rest of
his life with some sort of dignity and
pride.”
The Assemblyman secured a
voucher to pay for Lee’s housing from
the Human Resources Administration
and Asian Americans for Equality.

Lancman Calls Out DSNY For Jonas Debacle
By Trone DowD
Staff Writer
In a letter to the Department of Sanitation, Councilman Rory Lancman (DHillcrest) criticized the city agency’s assessment of their emergency response to
winter storm Jonas in late January.
The councilman’s letter was done
in direct response to the DOS release
of the After Action Memo on April 27,
which took a look at the response efforts following snowstorm Jonas. The
nine-page report offered a number of
ways the DOS could improve and adjust their effectiveness moving forward.
Lancman however, was not impressed
by what the report concluded.
“I’m writing to register my concern
that the Department of Sanitation ‘After Action Memo’ evaluating the City’s
response to the ‘Jonas’ blizzard ignores
the serious flaws in the PlowNYC program which were widely documented
and reported on at the time, and which
were further brought to your attention
at the Council Sanitation Committee’s
hearing on the preliminary budget,”
Lancman wrote.
As reported by the Queens Tribune
last January, the DOS was significantly
delayed when responding to the blizzard’s messy aftermath. With over 30
inches of snow recorded at John F. Kennedy Airport, Jonas quickly became the
second most devastating blizzard in the
history of the city. Many
neighborhoods
reported
issues navigating roadways
up to three days after the
initial snowfall. The department’s newly released
smartphone app PlowNYC
also contributed to the winter confusion, often times
incorrectly reporting certain streets were attended
to when street cleaners had
not yet done so. Lancman
was one of the first elected
officials to criticize the app
back in January, calling the
mishap “a truly cruel technological twist” in the New

York Daily News.
“Many streets in my district and
throughout the city were incorrectly
reported by PlowNYC as recently
plowed, as I relayed in real-time on my
Twitter account and as reported,” Lancman said. “Your failure to explain these
flaws at the hearing was deeply unsatisfactory, and the failure to acknowledge
this problem at all in the After Action
Memo is unacceptable”
As a part of the mayor’s $82.2 billion
budget for the fiscal year announced
just last week, he has allocated $21 million to improve city response to weather based emergencies like January’s
snowstorm. Some of the new tools that
the budget will afford is new, smaller
snow removal equipment that will benefit drivers and pedestrians. However,
none of the listed uses for the allocation
include improvements to the PlowNYC

Condoms, Crack Pipes
And Children?
Sean’s Place.
It sounds like a quaint location for families to congregate and children to be active.
The playground on 38th Street in Astoria - just one block from busy
Steinway Street - has been littered with unpleasant trash, and we’re
not talking about discarded food and household items. What children
have been found playing with in the park recently include used condoms and crack pipes.
How terrifying is that?
An issue is the fact that the playground is not often locked at night,
inviting vagrants into the secluded space after hours. They leave their
“litter” behind only to be found by children the next day.
And what happens sometimes when toddlers find and pick up something? They often put it in their mouths. Can you imagine?
No? Well according to some parents, it happened at Sean’s Place.
And this isn’t an isolated issue.
Last week, one of readers saw hypodermic needles in a playground
in Whitestone. She added that the playground is always open at night
and has been for years, but only recently has drug use become a
problem there.
On Tuesday night, a playground at Gantry Plaza State Park in Long
Island City was wide open at 11 p.m. despite the park technically closing at 10 p.m. That’s state property, so this is an issue even beyond
the city level.
There’s been a lot of talk about the city returning to “the bad old
days.” We’re not going to jump on that bandwagon because we are no
where near that yet, but situations like those at Sean’s Place Playground
certainly conjure up that image.
It shouldn’t be too difficult for the Parks Department to find someone to lock and unlock a gate, Why isn’t there someone on staff who
is responsible for that. And if there is, why isn’t he or she doing it
regularly? Do we need screaming headlines about a child dying from
choking on a needle or crack pipe before something is done?
Taking Out The Trash
In Flushing
By State Sen. toBy StaviSky
T
rash in Flushing has always
proven to be a tough issue to
solve, particularly in Downtown
Flushing, where I spend a lot of time.
With businesses, eateries and apartments jam-packed into a few square
blocks, there are bound to be quality
of life challenges. However, the rubbish
scattered across the sidewalks and pouring out of overfilled waste bins cannot
be ignored.
With each piece of litter, we detract
from all of the development taking place
in Flushing. No one wants to buy an expensive condo only to be forced to weave
through garbage on the sidewalk.
About six months ago, I went
around the Downtown Flushing area,
taking note of litter and grocery store
produce being outside in unsanitary
conditions. I was particularly troubled
by the conditions near the Long Island
Rail Road Main Street Station where
trash is abundant.
In order to truly clean up Flushing,
we need to approach the problem in
several ways. First, there must be communication between business owners
and city and state agencies as well as
the local business associations. As
English is a second language for many
of the residents and business owners
in the area, we need to be sure they
are informed of the rules and regulations for disposing of garbage. I believe
handing out fliers – in English, Chinese
and Korean – informing when and how
trash should be thrown out could be
quite beneficial.
Second, there must be enforcement.
If a business owner has been repeatedly
warned that their garbage practices violate the law, then we must issue fines. So
many owners are struggling to keep their
doors open, blanket ticketing will only
result in dozens of businesses closing
down. But if a business is refusing to
take better care in the disposal of their
trash after receiving a warning, then
inspectors have no choice but to enforce
city regulations. The MTA/LIRR must
also be held accountable to maintain
their property.
Third, there must be personal responsibility. The problem does not only
lie in restaurants piling trash bags in
the street. Individuals tossing bottles,
bags, food and other rubbish on the
ground is also unacceptable. It will
take all of us, working together and
being mindful of our decisions, to keep
Flushing clean.

Queens Still Reads:
Bringing A Bookstore Back To The Borough
By Jon Cronin
Staff Writer
Queens may be a bit closer to getting their own bookstore once again.
The women behind the Queens
Bookshop Initiative started a crowd
funding campaign on Kickstarter and
in less than a week have already received over $13,000.
Holly Nikodem, Natalie Noboa,
Vina Castillo each have years of retail
management experience under their
belts. They incorporated their business at the beginning of the year, created their business plan and filed their
first year of taxes. Now they’re hoping
to prove to future investors that the
community is behind the idea through
the Kickstarter campaign.
Nikodem pointed out that Kickstarter projects are finite events and
their goal of $70,000 must be accomplished by June 23. “If you don’t make
your entire goal, you lose everything,”
she said.
“The Kickstarter is to cover some
of the costs - not the whole endeavor.
Like Holly said, we are approaching
banks, either way. I would also consider possibly a mobile/pop up bookstore, then eventually move on to a
larger scale,” said Castillo.
When asked how they will compete
Left to right: Vina Castillo,
Natalie Noboa, and Holly Nikodem.
in a borough where Barnes and Noble
couldn’t, Nikodem said. “Independent bookstores are different. They
can adapt to their communities.” She
said they have gained more traction
in recent years since the bigger stores
closed.
“Even Amazon has realized people
like brick and mortar stores. They’re
doing their beta run on the west coast,”
she added.
They would know how those big
box bookstores worked. Each of them
met as managers at the Barnes and
Noble on Austin Street which closed
this past January. They each left be-
fore the store closed for other jobs,
but came back on the last day to spend
time with their former co-workers. It
was then that they hatched their plan
in conversation with the others. “Nat
and I took the idea seriously,” said
Nikodem.
“People are looking for an analog
experience. They want to be able to
browse the shelves,” she noted. In her
research, she’s discovered that most
people purchase their first book at a
bookstore and their next online.
“One of our biggest talking points
is to be a community center. I want
us to be that cool little place that you
bring your out of town friends to,”
boasted Nikodem.
Last weekend the trio held a story
time event in Russell Sage Park in Forest Hills, not far from a Barnes and
Noble store that closed in January.
“We want to make story time in the
park more of a regular thing. Maybe
once or twice a month,” she said. They
hope to be hosting more of their own
events in May and June, but is nothing
finalized yet.
They also recently partnered up
with the organizer of the Queens Lit
Fest, Mike Gessner and will have a
booth there at the Lit Fest in July.
“Our Independent Bookstore day
event was such a success, and we really
hope to continue that streak throughout the campaign. We are in the very
early stages of planning a literary market with local vendors. We will be a
part of Earth Citizens Club event on
Mother’s day this Sunday at the Austin playground from 12PM-3:30PM,”
said Castillo.
Because the neighborhood is already accustomed to a bookstore they
have been “poking our noses around a
couple open spaces,” that are around
1,200 to 1,800 square feet in Kew Gardens and Forest Hills.
“They want that lifestyle back,”
she said of the community and added
that the rent is “pretty good as long as
you’re not on Austin Street.”
She admitted, “There’s always the
fear that people who have supported
will not show up, or that many people
wouldn’t care.”
If their Kickstarter project doesn’t
succeed, “Its gonna take longer,” she
said, they’re going to have to use the
old fashioned form of solely going
through banks. “It doesn’t mean we’re
gonna give up.”
Yet Nikodem and her partners are
determined, “Queens deserves more,
it deserves better.”

New Animal Shelter Coming To Queens
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
New animal shelters in Queens and
the Bronx could double the number of
animal adoptions from city shelters,
animal advocacy group NYCLASS
predicted.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in
his budget last week that he allocated
$10 million for the design, land acquisition and some construction costs of new
animal shelters in the two boroughs.
The animal shelters will need additional funding for construction and
operating costs in the future. The location of the Queens shelter, which
could house hundreds of animals at a
time, is yet to be determined.
Previously, Queens and the Bronx
lacked animal shelters. Queens residents had to travel to Brooklyn or
Manhattan if they wanted to adopt
a pet or pick up a lost pet, though
Queens does have an emergency dropoff site for owners that could no longer take care of their animal, located at
92-29 Queens Blvd. in Rego Park.
Last year, 7,153 animals were adopted through the city’s animal shelters. But by 2018, when the new shelters are up and running, that number
could go up to 15,942, Allie Taylor,
Executive director of NYCLASS, said
“Building these two new shelters
will mean better, more humane care
for animals, and equal access to pet
adoption for new Yorkers, both here
in Queens and across our cities,” Taylor said. “We believe that the greatest
city in the world deserves a first-class,
world-class shelter system.”
Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) praised the funding allocation.
“This is a tremendous fist step towards accomplishing a victory for animals and pet lovers throughout New
York City – especially in the Bronx
and Queens,” he said.
Councilman Barry Grodenchik
(D-Oakland Gardens) also expressed
excitement.
“As a pet lover, I know the joys that
an animal can bring to a family. I’m
proud to welcome Queens’ first full
service animals shelter which will allow residents of Queens to adopt in
their own backyard,” he said.
Vallone added that he was working
to see an educational component for
children in the new shelter’s programming.
“Children are the future,” he said,
adding that he wanted to “teach our
children the ability to really take this
cause on and make it their own.”

Loud And Unclear:
CB 2, MTA Clash Over Noise
Barriers At East Side Access Site
File Photo
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
Last Thursday, City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer (DSunnyside) held a rally to call on the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority to keep a promise that Community
Board 2 claims was made to install
noise mitigation barriers as part of
the East Side Access project in Sunnyside, but a spokesperson from the
MTA said that promises were never
made.
The East Side Access is a project
set to begin Long Island Rail Road
service to Grand Central Terminal
along with adding new service. The
$10.2 billion project is expected to
open in 2022.
“The East Side Access Environmental Impact Statement, which was
created through the project’s definitive
public engagement process, evaluated the impacts of post-construction
train service and determined that the
increase in noise would not be perceptible in comparison to existing
train noise, and that physical barriers
attract graffiti and create shadows
and public safety concerns, in addition to being generally ineffective at
reducing sound in this location,” said
Aaron Donovan, a spokesperson for
the MTA. “The MTA therefore decided not to provide sound barriers as
mitigation for the East Side Access
project at completion.”
Donovan continued, “The construction of a barrier, or vegetation
on chain link fencing, would not be
effective in reducing noise in the
area, it would be potentially dangerous to yard workers, trains, and their
passengers, and would create other
adverse impacts.”
Both Van Bramer and CB 2, are
not happy with the response. CB 2’s
chairperson, Patrick O’Brien, stated
that they made a promise in the beginning and now there are no efforts to
find other options to soften the sound.
“The MTA is being deceitful. It’s
clear that the residents of Sunnyside
and Woodside want a noise attenuation barrier, and the MTA has prom-
ised such a barrier on numerous occasions over the past eight years. It’s
time for the MTA to keep their promise and build a barrier to protect residents from intolerable noise,” said
Van Bramer.
“Several years ago, there were
a number of conversations with the
MTA about concerns over noise that
not only would there be additional
trains, but those trains would be traveling closer to homes in Sunnyside.
We expressed grave concern over
that and discussed with them at great
length how the noise could be mitigated and reduced. Those discussions absolutely included the possibility of a wall or fence and absolutely
included the discussion of plantings
to soften and mitigate the sound. It is
absolutely indisputable in our records
and in the recollection of every member of Community Board 2’s Land
Use Committee that the MTA promised us that they would implement
sound attenuating measures, including plantings,” said O’Brien.
But Donovan said, “[From] 2007 to
2008, we hired a team of environmental engineering consultants, AKRF,
to conduct additional noise studies
and modeling. They reinforced the
findings of the Environmental Impact Statement. We presented these
facts to the Community Board in May
2008. In October 2008, we returned
to Community Board 2 in a meeting
attended by future Council Member
Van Bramer. As recorded in the minutes posted on Community Board
2’s website, the Board Chair said
the community was not in favor of a
sound barrier, and the MTA informed
the community board that we were
not in a position to build one.”
In fact, in the minutes provided on
CB 2’s website, at the time Joseph
Conley had been the chair, it says,
“The LIRR and the MTA are not in
a position to commit to building the
sound walls behind the garages on
Barnett Ave. but are in a position to
add vegetation. Conley stated residents of the area do not want sound
walls. There have been many meetings discussing this item. There were
concerns of graffiti.”
And a source from the MTA, who
wishes to remain anonymous, said
that the MTA did in fact make it clear
that they would look into building a
barrier, but no promises were made.
O’Brien said that for a while after
that meeting, the board hadn’t heard
back from the MTA, but, “We brought
them back into a meeting in February or March of this year and initially
they said that they were not going to
do anything and the reason that they
gave was because it was not in the
budget.”
“We were very upset and told them
‘no you said you were going to take
measures to do this.’ They did not
have an answer, they said no they
didn’t. We insisted that they go get us
answers and come back to a second
Land Use Committee meeting. They
came back with two representatives
and that was the first time we heard
from them [and] that they had considered that these measures would not
be effective to reduce sound,” said
O’Brien.
At the rally last week, O’Brien also
stated that at the aforementioned
meeting, there was the discussion of
bike racks and benches that could be
used as barriers to soften the noise,
but Donovan responded, “In our recent communications with the Community Board, we never intended
community members to come away
with the impression that bike racks or
benches could serve as noise reduction measures. We merely offered
those amenities and others such as
lighting and tree planting in the community in lieu of barriers or fencing.
We hoped these alternatives would
be well received by the community.”
It was stated by a source that the
MTA is always thinking about the safety and adding the type of walls or fences and vegetation requested by Van
Bramer would sacrifice safety, and is
not something they will entertain. Sunnyside Yard is an open environment.
A sound barrier would be open at the
top. To effectively baffle noise, you
would need a multi-story wall – the
type of thing that in most communities
has been criticized as an eyesore.
While there seems to be no resolution between CB 2 and the MTA
regarding the sound barriers, O’Brien
said they will keep fighting to get the
barriers by going through elected officials, like Van Bramer.
“We’re trying to work through our
electeds and otherwise to get them
to do something,” said O’Brien. “The
MTA is very different from any agency that I’ve ever dealt with, they just
do whatever they want to do and in
this instance, they are demonstrably
wrong in this [and] they are not telling
the truth.”

WHO’S NEW ON THE COMMUNITY BOARDS
Community Board 1: Edwin G. Cadiz, Astoria
Editor’s Note:
Over the course of the new few weeks, the Queens Tribune will be
profiling new members of the borough’s community boards and introduce these civic leaders to their constituents. We are kicking off the
series this week with three freshman members.
Edwin G. Cadiz of Community Board 1, which covers Astoria,
Queensbridge and parts of Woodside

By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
Late last month, Borough President Melinda Katz announced the
appointment of 318 new community
board members and 56 of them are
first-time members including Edwin
G. Cadiz, who is now serving Community Board 1.
“I applied [to serve the board] four
times and I was denied even though I
have over a thousand awards in community service and for some reason
I kept getting rejected and this year I
said ‘you know what I’m going to put
[the application] in one more time,”
said Cadiz. “I thought I was going to
be serving George and George was a
board member, but the board president didn’t approve him, so he didn’t
get approved and I was kind of disappointed because I really wanted to
work close with him because I wanted
to make sure I represented [Ravenswood, Queensbridge and Astoria
properly because] a lot of them don’t
get represented properly so I felt that
I needed to be their voice.”
Cadiz has served the community since as far back as the the late
1980’s where he worked as a teacher
while helping out in a senior center.
He taught for 22 years in the area
and ran the HANAC Ravenswood
Senior Center for 13 years,
“I taught at PS 112, I taught at 35
in the Bronx, I taught at the GreekAmerican Institute, I taught at Louis
Armstrong,” said Cadiz. “I was also
teaching at LaGuardia College for
Children in their Saturday program,
that was the only other class I took
besides running the senior center. I
taught art and science.”
Cadiz said that he ended up leaving teaching after 22 years because,
“the system doesn’t work half of the
Edwin G. Cadiz
time, the teaching is a joke, I hate to
say it, but [it’s like that] even with the
teachers because I really felt like they
criticized the students. We’re working for the students, we shouldn’t be
criticizing them, but I lost my case
after Louis Armstrong.”
After leaving teaching, he stayed
with the senior center where he met
up with Assemblywoman Catherine
Nolan and eventually became her
Community Liaison in 2002 after
leaving the senior center.
“I ran the senior center there
and Cathy gave me some capital
funds, so I [had] the whole center
renovated really nice because it was
a real mess and the I worked close
and invited them to all of our
functions, I had all kinds of
activities for the seniors [and
I’d send] them on trips, way
beyond what the job called
for, then one day I said, ‘you
know 13 years is enough
with seniors,’” said Cadiz.
“I really wanted to do my
photography and my art and
then Cathy comes up to me
and says, ‘well do you want
to work over in our office?’
and ever since then I’ve been
with the Assemblywoman.”
He continues to attend
114th Precinct meetings, Ravenswood meetings, Queensbridge meetings and Astoria
Houses meetings, but said
that every now and again he
misses his old jobs.
“I miss my Pre-K class and I
sometimes miss my seniors because
they acted sort of like the Pre-K children,” he laughed. “I’m getting a
little tired of going to meetings and
hearing the same stories over and
over again.”
Cadiz said that as part of Community Board 1, he hopes to give
those a voice who don’t already have
one.
“Basically I want to be a voice for
[the] three developments. We need a
voice too,” said Cadiz.

“There’s a lot of strength in the
community, but also certain changes that we need to see that need to
improve, problems that need to be
solved,” he said.
Cheng said that while the area
has amazing restaurants, vitality and
cultural diversity, people don’t always recognize that. And while part
of it is an image problem, there are
concrete steps that can be taken to
improve downtown Flushing.
Cheng said he wanted to make it
greener, with more trees and parks,
get rid of graffiti, and promote diversity among retailers. He also wanted
to create more jobs and focus on culture and the arts to bring more cultural experiences to CB 7 residents
and make it more of a destination.

ranked among the top 20 places to
live in the United States, he even
projected.
“It has all the ingredients to become an internationally recognized
city,” Cheng said.

high. There’s a great cultural diversity here. People come out here be-

he said. “There’s no reason why it

heart is education. He has begun to

opened up an accredited online Chinese language school, Mando Mandarin, to teach targeted toward K-12
students. He wants to serve on the
education committee to help bring
improvements in that sector to the
board’s neighborhoods.
He also hopes to serve on the
Land Use Committee.
As to what makes him tick, Cheng
is inspired by God, philanthropy and
community. His LinkedIn profile
states that he “starts every morning
with prayer, guided meditation, and
a high-intensity workout which allows him to remain focused and deliver explosive results.”Reach Lynn

WHO’S NEW ON THE COMMUNITY BOARDS
Com. Board 9: Mohinder Singh, Rich Hill
By Jon Cronin
Staff Writer
Mohinder Singh, Community
Board 9’s newest board member, is
eager to speak for the Sikh community.
“I’m very active in my community,”
he said. Singh said that he helped to
found the Sikh temple on 114th Street
in Ozone Park and has been the President of the Sikh Cultural Society on
118th Street in Richmond Hill for six
years. He said he is “the most senior
leader of the Sikh community.”
In March, Singh took part in the
organization of Richmond Hill’s popular Spring Equinox Phagwah Parade
and spoke to the crowd parade’s conclusion in Phil Rizzuto Park.

He also noted that he has been
elected three times as a committee
member to the Queens County Democratic Committee.

Schneiderman Targets
“Ticket Bots”
New York Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman today released the
results of a wide-ranging investigation into the concert and sports ticket
industry. The investigation uncovered
practices and abuses that prevent New
York consumers from accessing tickets at affordable prices – or even accessing them at all.
Schneiderman also announced
settlements with two ticket brokers
that were illegally operating without a
ticket reseller license. The businesses,
MSMSS, LLC and Extra Base Tickets,
LLC, have sold thousands of tickets to
events in New York. The settlements
require that the companies and their
principals maintain a ticket reseller
license and pay penalties for having
operated illegally. MSMSS will pay
$80,000 in penalties and Extra Base
Tickets will pay $65,000.
The Attorney General’s office began the investigation in response to
a series of citizen complaints. The
report on the investigation, entitled
“Obstructed View: What’s Blocking
New Yorkers from Getting Tickets,”
details the middle-men and troubling
industry practices that work to keep
affordable tickets out of the hands of
ordinary New Yorkers.
“Ticketing is a fixed game,” Attorney General Schneiderman said. “My
office will continue to crack down on
those who break our laws, prey on
ordinary consumers, and deny New
Yorkers affordable access to the concerts and sporting events they love.
This investigation is just the beginning
of our efforts to create a level playing
field in the ticket industry.”
In a statement, New Yorkers for
Fan Fairness, an anti-scalping group,
praised Schneiderman.
“New Yorkers for Fan Fairness
(NYFFF), a diverse statewide organization of New York citizens and
organizations committed to developing and maintaining rights for ticketbuying New Yorkers, applauds Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s
recent prosecutions and proposed
legislation to crack down on unscrupulous scalpers that use illegal ticketing ‘bots.’ These actions benefit New
York music, sports and theatre fans
by creating fair access to tickets at
the box office and reducing the number of tickets purchased with the sole
intention of reselling them for high
prices.”
NYFFF also urges the Legislature
and General Schneiderman to be even
more aggressive in support of local
fans. A recent survey of New York
registered voters, conducted by Zogby
Analytics, found that:
82 percent believe that ticket sellers and venues should be required to
report illegal bot use to law enforcement, and
85 percent believe that venues
should do a better job enforcing ticket
purchase limits.
“If venues and promoters do their
part to enforce ticket limits and enforce against ticket bots, then New
York fans will be better off,” the group
said. “Additionally, General Schneiderman and the New York State Legislature should require teams, concert
promoters, and venues to disclose the
number of tickets for each event that
are actually made available at list price
to the general public, and ensure that
those New Yorkers who purchase tickets have the ability to give away, resell
or donate their tickets. More transparency, more enforcement and more
fans’ rights – all of these would benefit
New York ticket consumers.”
Singh has taken part of a Sikh delegation that goes to the White House and
sits with the president to help him
understand the misconception of the
Sikh faith, the fourth largest religion
in the world, being confused with the
Muslim religion.
In 2014, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited, Singh was
part of a Sikh delegation that met with
him at Madison Square Garden.
As a CB 9 member, Singh said he
wants to represent his community on
the board and make them more aware
of their community’s needs.
Singh is also passionate about the
parking, traffic issues and transportation issues that plague our borough.
“We need more bus stops and
more service,” he said. He is also interested in real estate development
projects and how they affect the community.
His concerns include the delegation of park permits and he explained
that as a leader in the Sikh community, they often look to hold events in
the park and are occasionally denied,
though he conceded, “I know the city
has limits.”
One of his passion projects is to get
the A train station on Lefferts Boulevard rehabbed. He believes it needs
to be cleaned and should have either
an escalator or an elevator built, along
with seats for waiting passengers. He
noted that A train stations in Brooklyn and Manhattan have better facilities.
Part of his frustration stems from
the belief that because this community is filled with immigrants, “that’s
why these stations are not up to date.
That’s why we are lagging behind.”
He would also like to advocate for
smaller class sizes in local schools.
“Richmond Hill High School is too
crowded. It doesn’t look like a high
school, it looks like a jail,” he said.
“Most people do not speak fluent
English, that’s why they are ignored,”
he added.
Singh, an insurance broker with a
business in Richmond Hill and a resident of South Ozone Park since 1996,
emigrated to the U.S. from India in
1985. He’s married with two daughters and a son, who emigrated here
in 1995. Both his daughters then attended New York University and his
son attended Richmond Hill High
School.
He boasted that all three of his
children graduated from New York
University and became dentists.

app. It instead somewhat praises the
app, which Lancman called out in his
letter.
“Specifically,
in
evaluating
PlowNYC and the Department’s
internal GPS program, the Memo
notes that these tools ‘proved critical
for situational awareness ... [and] allowed the department to more quickly identify areas in need and move
additional equipment to meet it,’”
Lancman wrote. “This conclusion
does not comport with reality.”
The Queens Tribune reached out
to the Sanitation Department and
was able to obtain a letter written
by Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia responding to Lancman.
She said that she “appreciated the
concern” from Lancman and reassured him that the app was helpful
during the storm rather than hurtful.
“I assure you that the Department
is continually working to improve
PlowNYC and other GPS systems,”
Garcia wrote. “In the two years since
I became Commissioner, we have
upgraded the tracking devices from
simple flip phones to advanced automatic vehicle location transmitters,
and we have worked with the De-
partment of Information Technology
and Telecommunications to improve
the backend systems that process and
map the GPS signals received from
snow equipment. If you would like,
I am happy to host a demonstration
at my office to show how PlowNYC
works, how the Department uses this
and other GPS information, and the
improvements made over the past
several years.”
Lancman told the Queens Tribune
that he doesn’t quite understand the
Department’s refusal to acknowledge
reported issues with the app.
“Their denial of the problems that
were demonstrably present during
the snowstorm is really frustrating
and worrisome,” Lancman said.
He compared their lack of recognition for “flaws in the system that
were captured in screenshots across
a number of publications” to climate
change deniers.
Lancman said that he will take up
Sanitation’s offer to show the technical side of how the PlowNYC app
works, but will continue to press the
department on acknowledging the
recorded issues and how they plan to
improve it.

MOTHER
of the Year
WINNER: Age 8 and Under
Naomi Goya, 8
Mom: Marylyn, Flushing
My mom is the best
mom on earth. She is
always there for me
when something happens to me or if I get
hurt. She is a great
cook and is great at
chemistry and math.
She is always doing
something that has to
do with chemistry and
math. Usually when
my mom is quiet, it is
always when she is
grading test papers.
At times, she can be
a little worked up from
stress, and sometimes
she is just fine. Most of
the time I see her on
the computer looking
at her e-mail, or looking at test papers. I
love my mom just the
way she is because
she looks out for us
all the time. I never
went anywhere without my mom.
Everywhere I go, my mom is with
me. Sometimes I think of my mom
as superman because she looks out
for me a lot. Or should I say “superwoman”? If you were me, I bet you
would love my mom more than anyone else.
But really, it would be super cool
if one of your parents had superpowers. If I had to pick someone to
be my hero, it would obviously be
my mom because she is like a mom
who has superpowers. So I think I
really have something to be thankful
for; My #1 mom.

MOTHER
of the Year
WINNER: Age 9 to 12
Isabel Molina, 12
Mom: Jessica Carmona, Howard Beach
My mother is one of
the most genuine and
amazing people I know.
She knows what I’m
thinking and she knows
when I am lying.
If I’m in the hospital
in a nice bed, she’ll always be there with me
even if she is sitting in
an uncomfortable chair.
And that’s where she
has to sleep.
On my renal biopsy
she was even outside
the door waiting for me
to wake up. My mother’s smile greeted me
when I woke up. She is
a very brave and influential person. She stays
strong and doesn’t cry
easy. When the doctor said that we were
running out of options,
I saw her eyes water.
And she said she was
sorry, after she cried.
She didn’t want me to see her cry.
My mother motivates me. If I
didn’t have her, I never would have
gotten over needles. She lets me
squeeze her hand; I do, but needles
don’t really bother me that much
anymore – it’s because of my mom.
She doesn’t like to suger-coat anything; she likes to tell the truth. I’m
glad for this because I’d rather have
the whole truth.
I love my mother. I am as close
to her as I think I could be. She is
one of the best things in my life
and always keeps me going. My
mother (I’ll say again) is one of the
most genuine and amazing people
I know.

that Phase II of Hunters
Point South that kicked
off late last year is still
underway and is still slated
for completion on schedule
in 2018.
renderings courtesy of nycedc
On November 23 of last year,
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Council
Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) alongside Borough President Melinda Katz broke
ground on Phase II of the Hunters
Point South project.
Phase II is said to create about
3,000 new apartments and 60 percent or more of those will be affordable for low, moderate and middle
income families. Between Phase
I and II, the project is expected to
have a total of 5,000 new apartments. This project will be the
largest new housing complex built
in NYC in almost 40 years. This is
the largest affordable housing construction project to date under the
“Housing New York” plan.
It will include the current undeveloped part of Hunter’s Point to
the south of Borden Avenue to the
actual geological point where Newtown Creek meets the East River.
“As our communities grow, we
must invest in infrastructure, as well
as in schools, libraries, and parks,
to keep pace. I’ve successfully advocated for city services and funding to invest in our neighborhoods
and make sure they remain fantastic
places to live,” said Van Bramer.
The work hit a hiccup recently as
plans for one of the developments
needed to be reworked because of
conflicts with infrastructure underground belonging to Amtrak. The
project sits on top of Amtrak-owned
tunnels between Sunnyside Yards
and Penn Station.
The issue led TF Cornerstone, the
developer of Phase II, to announce
it would build a 600-seat school on
the specific site over the rail tunnels, in addition to just about 1,200
apartments.
There will also be a new street
network including sewers, a water

rezoning became public knowledge
in 2011, 42 rent stabilized buildings,
containing 1,800 units, were sold.
“Within these transactions, some
disturbing trends have arisen,”
the report stated. “Rent stabilized
buildings have been targeted by international investors, often shielding their investments with layers of
shell companies.”
In addition to these concerns, the
FRCA reiterated the following goals:
That the most deeply affordable
MIH option is used in the neighborhood, that the city work to increase
enrollment in SCRIE and DRIE –
programs that protect seniors and
disabled folks from rent increases,
that local workers are hired for
construction jobs, that more senior
centers are built, that improvements
are made to the no. 7 train, that the
city build a bus depot, and that the
city clean Flushing Creek and beef
up sanitation services.
Asked to comment on the white
paper, the DCP said they shared
common goals with FRCA and “look
forward to working the Flushing
community to develop a comprehensive neighborhood plan that
addresses Flushing’s needs and supports its quality of life, vitality and
diversity.”

Last Thursday, the housing advocacy group outlined steps that they
believe could help slow or reverse
that process, and protect the elderly, immigrants, and low-income
residents from being displaced as
the real estate market becomes increasingly hot.
Their recommendations are largely a response to the Flushing West
rezoning, an initiative which would
see a portion of Flushing along the
creek developed for residential use.
If the plan is approved by the City
Council, the area will become one of
the first in the city to institute Mayor Bill de Blasio’s affordable housing
initiatives, Mandatory Inclusionary
Housing and Zoning for Quality
and Affordability.
While MIH is designed to protect
low-income renters, housing advocates are worried that the rezoning
will drive up property values, putting renters at risk of displacement.
Standing on the steps of St.
George’s Episcopal Church, Pastor
Pedro Rodriguez said that residents
in rent-controlled units were particularly vulnerable.
That included his 88-year-old
aunt, who he says has been living
in the same apartment for 40 years.
But now that “rich people are moving in,” everything is getting harder,
he said.
“Nobody wants to fix her leaks.
Nobody wants to paint her apartment. Nobody wants to help in
anything at all. Sometimes the hot
water disappears. Sometimes there
is no water in the building,” Rodriguez said. “Why do you think those
things [are] happening? Because
they want her to leave.”
New York City law allows landlords of rent-controlled apartments to raise the rent by a certain
percentage each time that a tenant moves out. And once the rent
exceeds a certain dollar value, the
unit becomes market rate and restrictions on the rent are removed.
That incentivizes landlords to
mistreat or neglect tenants in
hopes of creating turnover in their
building.
FRCA wants the City Council to
enact a law requiring landlords to
get a “Certificate of No Harassment”
from the Department of Buildings
before they can complete renovations on their property. Because
landlords sometimes use renovations as a reason to evict tenants or
increase the rents, the law would
have the DOB check landlords
against a database to see if they had
a history of harassment before approving their plans.
The FRCA also said they wanted
to see Municipal Lot #2, which is
adjacent to St. George’s Church, de-

veloped into 100 percent affordable
housing.
The group said they were slated to
have a meeting with the Department
of City Planning on the matter, but
DCP confirmed they cancelled the
meeting so that they could focus
on “the core proposal for Flushing
West.”
The agency said they were still
open to having future discussions
on the matter.
“Any proposal for the Muni Lot,
if desired by the community, will be
developed through a public engagement process,” a spokesperson said.
With the notorious parking situation in Queens, it’s likely that Community Board 7 would raise objections to any reduction in parking
spots.
But Rodriguez said now was not
the time to get hung up on parking.
“Did we lose the parking when
we built the hotel across the street
from us? Did we lose the parking
when we built the other hotel on
the left hand side of us? Did we lose
the parking when we had another
hotel on the right hand side of us?”
he said. “Did anybody question the
parking? No. Nobody said anything
about it.”
The group also raised concerns
about the speculative nature of real
estate transaction in Flushing. They
said that since the possibility of a

Washington Plaza’s Reinvention:
Refurbished Co-op In
Jackson Heights Begins Sales
BY JON CRONIN Staff Writer
W
ashington Plaza in
Jackson Heights
announced
the beginning of co-op
sales after a beautiful new
redesign and apartments
with single bedrooms
starting at $375,000.
The co-op has new amenities and
proximity to Manhattan, Washington Plaza, an Art Deco prewar rental
in the heart of Jackson Heights. The
developers plan on it filling a void
for first-time homebuyers, families
and buyers looking for a spacious
home in this increasingly prominent
location close to Manhattan.
“We are creating homes that capture the historical grace and charm of
Jackson Heights while incorporating
features that reflect a contemporary
lifestyle,” said Marilyn Sollar, director of sales and leasing for Delta
Management LLC, managing agent
for the sponsor entities.
The six story, six building property was originally designed by renowned architect Sylvan Bien, who
also designed the Carlyle Hotel and
737 Park Street.
Washington
Plaza’s
owners of 50 years are looking to
retain the scale and grandeur
of that bygone era..
They announced that the buildings have received, “Recognition
for the Historical and Architectural
Merit” by the Queens Historical Society and its National Register Historic District status.
Their new design highlights “many
signature features of Art Deco design
are evident throughout the property. A Greek-key geometric pattern
runs along the exterior brickwork
of the buildings, and is also featured
over each of the six lobby entries,
which will be renovated as part of the
ongoing conversion. The entries form
a horseshoe shape, with a garden, cascading fountains, tranquil pond and
sitting area enclosed in the middle.
Each lobby leads to its own apartment wing, and all are connected by
a common basement and roof. In addition, upon entering the property,
a stately gatehouse will be attended
at key hours daily,” stated a spokesperson.
The developers see this change as
a re-crafting of the 190 residences.
Their purpose is to showcase the
right combination of prewar elegance and extraordinary style. The
apartments will keep their original
size and depth. They will range
from spacious one-bedroom apartments averaging 900 square feet,
to three-bedroom apartments averaging over 1,500 square feet. The
1,850 square foot penthouse will
feature gorgeous Manhattan views.
Each residence has
beautiful archways
and original plaster
moldings,
ceilings
that reach nine feet,
hardwood floors of
espresso solid oak,
and large closets,
many of which are
walk-in.
“Washington Plaza offers buyers an
unparalleled
level
of
spaciousness,
craftsmanship and
convenience
that
they [buyers] are
not likely to find
elsewhere,”
added
Sollar.
Washington Plaza will also offer
thoughtfully selected
amenities such as a
state-of-the-
art fitness center and on-site
laundry facilities. All of the
residences are prewired for cable
and Internet.
The sales gallery is located onsite
at 73-12 35th Ave. Occupancy is slated
for late summer 2016. For additional
information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Nu-Place
Realty, the exclusive sales agent for
the property at (718) 899-0202, or visit

Pomonok Residents
Get New Views
From Crystal
N
ational awardwinning
manufacturer
Crystal Window & Door
Systems continued its string
of supplying large window
replacement projects with
the installation of almost
11,000 Crystal aluminum
replacement windows is
nearing completion in 16
buildings in the northern
half of the Pomonok Houses
complex.
Built in 1952, the 35 buildings of
the Pomonok complex are part of
the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) system and now house
over 4,200 residents. The Pomonok
Houses’ office is located at 67-10 Parsons Blvd., and the 52-acre development is adjacent to Queens College
and the Electchester Houses.
“Crystal has rapidly become a preferred window supplier for numerous major private and public multifamily projects in the New York area
and around the nation,” said Steve
Chen, COO of Crystal Windows.
“With almost 11,000 windows, the
Pomonok Houses project is just the
latest example of our ability to handle such large-scale efforts.”
Crystal’s role in the Pomonok project involved the supply of over 10,800
windows of three energy efficient
models in 26 different sizes and configurations. The multi-million dollar window replacement project involved 3, 7 and 8-story multi-family
buildings in the northern section of
the Pomonok Houses complex. Upgrading the windows was a key component of the overall $96 million restoration of the buildings envelopes
and renovation of apartments.
The primary Crystal window used
at the Pomonok Houses project is
the Series 3000 aluminum doublehung. This durable window features
an AAMA performance grade (PG)
rating of PG60, a 3.25-inch frame
depth, .875-inch insulating glass,
and removable sideload block-andtackle balance equipped sashes.
An anti-drift head clip lock automatically secures the top sash in the
closed position for safety, security,
and a weather-tight seal.
The other windows used are the
Crystal aluminum project-in Series
8300 and Series 8100 fixed picture
window. With a 2.25-inch frame
depth and 1-inch insulating glass
unit, these exceptionally strong
windows have both attained an out-

dual-pane 3⁄16” PPG Solarban 60
and AGC Comfort EPS low-E glass
for outer and inner lights, respectively. Crystal also provided several
options to facilitate the new window installations. Mullion systems
were used to gang windows together, while 2-inch face flange frames,
and clips and snap trims aided the
placement and securing of windows
in the openings. Crystal also provided the project with in-house 3D
printer-aided designed and custom
fabricated aluminum sill covers. All
windows and installation accesso-
ries were finished with an AAMA
2604 powder coat paint in a special
Fairfax Brown color.
The Crystal windows at Pomonok
Houses were installed by APS Contracting of Paterson, NJ. The lead
architectural/engineering firm for
the building envelope restoration
and fenestration work was HAKS
of New York. New York City-based
firm STV provided construction
management services for the façade
restoration and apartment renovation aspects of the project.
The Pomonok Houses are owned
and operated by NYCHA, which
provides affordable housing to low
and moderate-income residents of
New York City. NYCHA is the largest
public housing authority in North
America, providing homes for over
400,000 people in more than 300
housing developments.

All About NYC’s Pet Waiver Policy
By HON. GEORGE M.
HEyMANN
M
ost rent stabilized
leases contain
a provision that
prohibits the tenants from
harboring pets in their
apartments without the
express permission of the
landlord.
That being said, this is one of the
prohibitions that is most often violated by tenants and often overlooked
by the landlord. However, in those
instances where the landlord seeks
to enforce the no pet rule, the tenant
will generally be served with a notice
to cure, requesting that the pet be removed from the premises by a date
certain, in order to avoid the commencement of a holdover proceeding
which could, if successful, result in
the termination of the tenancy.
In NYC, there is a provision of the
Administrative Code that creates a
“waiver” of the no pet rule if the ten-
ant keeps the pet “open and notoriously” for a period of 90 days or more
and the landlord does not commence
a proceeding within that time frame
upon first acquiring knowledge of the
pet’s existence. In the event that the
matter ends up in Housing Court, the
issues of whether the tenant had the
pet “open and notoriously” or kept it
secreted away in the apartment, and
when the landlord was first apprised
of the pet and what, if any actions
were taken to have it removed become questions of fact for the Court
to resolve at trial.
It should be noted that knowledge
by the landlord’s agents, such building employees who enter an apartment to do repairs and see the pet,
can be imputed to the landlord.
The law is very specific regarding
the commencement of such a holdover proceeding. Commencement
means just that: service of a petition
and notice of petition within the 90
days of the landlord’s first knowledge
of the pet’s existence. Similar to the
Watergate hearings in the ‘70s, the
whole matter boils down to the single
question of what did the landlord
know, and when did he know it? The
language of the Administrative Code
provides no wiggle room or exceptions for the landlord. If not commenced timely, the case must be dismissed. This is so even if the tenant(s)
misrepresents the circumstances of
having the pet in the apartment (ie:
claiming to just be watching it for
family or friends away on vacation
when, in fact, they actually own the
pet, etc.). The landlord acts at his or
her own peril by waiting to commence
the action. If, as often happens, they
find out that the tenant was deceit-
ful as to why they had the pet and
the landlord then acts immediately
upon ascertaining the truth, it may
be too late. Landlords should follow
the adage: “shoot first, ask questions
later”. In other words, if the landlord
commences a proceeding upon its
initial awareness of the pet, it can always withdraw it at a later time, but,
at least, he or she will not be caught
short for failure to act promptly.
Tenants who are successful in having a pet holdover dismissed may be
entitled to collect legal fees, as the
prevailing party, if their lease provides
for legal fees. However, the appellate
courts that have jurisdiction over
cases in Queens County have upheld
denial of such fees if it can be shown
that the tenant(s) acted in bad faith
and their conduct directly resulted in
the landlord’s delay in commencing
the proceeding for which dismissal
was mandated.
As a final point, the Pet Waiver
provision is not applicable if the pet
is creating a nuisance in the building
and the landlord commences the proceeding on such grounds, regardless
of when the landlord first learns of
the pet’s presence.

Crystal Windows’ Steve Chen One Of ’40 Under 40’
N
ational manufacturer
Crystal Window
& Door Systems is
pleased to announce that
Chief Operating Officer
Steve Chen has been named
in the Crain’s New York
Business Magazine March
28, 2016 edition to its very
prestigious 2016 40 Under
40 list of top New York area
young executives.
With literally hundreds of thousands of young executives in New
York City and the surrounding area,
the selection process is highly competitive and being named to the list is
quite an honor. Crain’s, the New York
metro area’s premier weekly business
news magazine, was one of the first
to introduce the concept of recognizing successful young leaders who are
redefining their industries and markets. Crain’s 40 Under 40 List was
launched nearly 30 years ago and has
been replicated by numerous other
publications across the country ever
since.
“Crystal is one of the few remaining
true manufacturers in New York City,”
said Steve Chen. “I’m thrilled the company and I have been selected for this
honor by one of the most prestigious
business periodicals in
the nation.”
Past 40 Under 40
winners include Robert
Reffkin, Vice President
of Goldman Sachs;
Kenneth
Chenault,
Executive Vice President of American Express; Congresswoman Grace
Meng; Marissa Shorenstein, President of AT&T in New York State; Jason Ackerman, CEO of Fresh Direct;
and Nick Cannon, well known celebrity and President of Ncredible Entertainment.
Crain’s receives over 500 nominees each year for the 40 Under 40
List from a broad spectrum of industries. Reporters for the publication
vet nominees as to their professional
success, community service and participation in professional and trade
groups. Editors and senior reporters
then meet to review the results of the
vetting process and make the final 40
selections.
For more than a decade, Steve
Chen has had overall responsibility for the operations of Crystal’s
growing national family of vinyl and
aluminum window companies, its
600 employees and nearly one million square feet of manufacturing
space. Born in Taiwan, Steve came to
America with his parents at an early
age. He grew up in the family window business, working through high
school and college wherever needed,
on the factory floor making
windows, in accounting or

New Board Members Elected At Great Neck BID
A
t the recent Great
Neck Plaza Business
Improvement District
(BID) annual meeting,
Peter Andreasian, David
Eshaghoff and Allen Honig
were re-elected as Class A
Board members, and Scott
Zimmerman was re-elected
as a Class B Board member.
Class A Board members
are property owners in
the defined business
improvement district in the
Village of Great Neck Plaza.
Class B Board members
are tenants in commercial
property within the Great
Neck Plaza BID. Board
member terms are for two
years.
Honig was one of the original
Great Neck Plaza BID Class A Board
members when the BID was established in 1990. Allen, second-generation owner of Poultry Mart—a
Great Neck and Long Island landmark food establishment that
opened in 1950—has always been
involved with community activities,
including supporting local charitable organizations and donating his
time to business organizations like
the BID that focus on keeping the
downtown shopping district strong
and vibrant.
“The downtown is the heart of
our community. It is where you
come to meet your friends, bring
your family to shop or dine out, or
to enjoy a Sunday over in the Grace
Avenue Park (the Jonathan L. Ielpi
Firefighters’ Park). Great Neck has
been good to Poultry Mart over the
decades, and I believe it is my responsibility to give back to the community that has been so kind to my
family and my employees. Serving
on the BID Board is one way I can
do this. It gives me a chance to help
organize and participate in events,
such as our promenade summer
nights, holiday promotions, street
festival/autofest, this summer’s
planned cultural day, Plaza Halloween and others designed to provide
entertainment for our community
as well as stimulate business for
our merchants. I consider this an
honor.”
Andreasian is a third generation
commercial property owner in Great
Neck Plaza as well as the owner/broker of a successful residential real

Honig and David Eshaghoff
estate brokerage, Exit Realty Universal, with offices on Bond Street.
With his sister Marguerite White
Anderasian manages several familyowned retail properties on Middle
Neck Road, Grace Avenue and Bond
Street. Their roots in Great Neck
go back to the1940’s. He joined the
family business full time in 1987 and
was first elected to the BID Board in
the early 90’s.
Eshaghoff, founder and president
of Escho Real Estate & Management,
Inc., first joined the Great Neck
Plaza BID Board in March 2013. His
company owns commercial office
space in the Plaza as well as com-
mercial property across Long Island
and in Manhattan. Mr. Eshaghoff
has always been an active member
of the Great Neck community, serving on boards and committees of
various charitable organizations. As
a property owner of office space in
the Plaza, he has always been interested in seeing that the downtown
remains an attraction and benefit to
tenants of office buildings.
Zimmerman, owner of Aura Salon
and Style Lounge located at 25 Cutter Mill Road in the Plaza, has been a
Class B Board member since March
2014. Scott is also the current president of the Great Neck Chamber of
Commerce. When Scott joined the
BID Board, he indicated his main
goal, as a merchant in the village,
would be to get more merchants
involved in the promotions and
events planned by the Great Neck
Plaza BID. His other goal was to see
if there were opportunities for the
BID and the Chamber to work together, such as on the complementary campaigns both are running for
“Shop Local – Shop Smart.” Another
program Scott has been championing for collaboration between the
two organizations is a summer fashion show that would involve clothing boutiques, hair salons and other
fashion accessory stores from across
the Great Neck peninsula.

Mom: Carol Burns, Whitestone
One way I would describe
my mom is being the “mother
of anyone and everyone”.
I know that she was put on
this earth to be a mom. She
is the most caring, selfless,
wonderful, inspiring person I
know.
When my mom was 17
years old her mother died
unexpectedly, and she had
to play the role of mom to her
four younger siblings. Her father was a sanitation worker
and needed to work full time
to provide for her family. She
had to drop out of High School
and become a full time mom.
On top of now taking care of
her siblings, her father and
cooking/cleaning she found
time to ger her GED. In her
early 20’s she fell in love with
the boy across the street and
got married. In the years to
follow she had three girls. My mom
was a stay at home mom, and my
Dad worked two jobs so she could
stay home with us. As a child, and
still as an adult now my mother has
always done for others before herself.
She raised us, took care of dying parents, and family members. She now
takes care of all her six grandsons so
we don’t have to pay for childcare.
She takes care of everyone, always
has and I know she always will. If
you asked anyone who knows her
they would agree with me that she
is MOTHER OF THE YEAR! I hope I
can be half the mother she is.

CityParks PuppetMobile will be showing Puss In Boots in several
Queens parks this spring.
Puppet Mobile Coming
To Queens Parks
City Parks Foundation is launching
its newest CityParks PuppetMobile
original production, Puss in Boots, running throughout May to this fall at
locations citywide. Puss in Boots is
a modern twist on the classic
“Puss in Boots” fairy tale,
which originated in Europe in the 16th century
and has seen a number
of popular retellings
ever since. The CityParks PuppetMobile
production features
one-of-a-kind marionettes hand-crafted by the
expert puppeteers from the
Swedish Cottage Marionette
Theatre in Central Park.
Puss in Boots follows the life of a
young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials
in life - a roof over his head, the clothes
on his back, and his ever faithful pet
cat. One day when lamenting his poor
lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his
cat stands up, begins talking and intro-
duces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to
Fergus that he is very intelligent and
well-traveled, and even has an idea
to help Fergus improve his situation.
With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy
pair of boots and sets off on an
exciting magical journey.
Despite his reputation as
a sly trickster, Puss soon
proves himself a caring
friend to all, willing to
help at any cost!
“We are thrilled to
be debuting our brand
new production, Puss in
Boots, in neighborhood
parks across the five boroughs,” said Bruce Cannon, Artistic Director of the Swedish Cottage
Marionette Theatre. “Our fresh, lively
take on this beloved classic is sure to
entertain and delight PuppetMobile
audiences across the city.”
Puss in Boots was written and directed by longtime Swedish Cottage
Marionette Theatre puppeteer, Douglas
Russell Strich.

He also celebrates their best Greek
dish, spanakopita, or spinach pie,
which is a spinach and feta wrapped
in filo. The Ozone Park Diner serves
it over rice with a Greek salad. The
filo is like a flaky thin pie crust and
the melted feta cheese smoothly
compliments the fresh spinach as
delicious filling.
Their expansive breakfast, lunch

are greatly beneficial to the body but only
if prepared correctly. He assured though
that preparation for these natural goods
was not difficult and could be done but
virtually anyone, young and old.
“I especially like people bringing kids
on the tour,” he said. “I try to provide
both knowledge of the ecosystem and
how they work focusing of course on
the plant, the very simple biological
concepts that they don’t teach in biology
classes today.”
The two-hour foraging tour of
Idlewild Park, held in conjunction with
Friends of Idlewild Park, begins at 9:30
a.m., Saturday, May 7, at 149th St. and
Springfield Lane, in Springfield Gardens, NY. On Saturday at 1 p.m., Brill
will visit Queensway at the corner of
Woodhaven Boulevard and Forest Park
Drive, continuing his foraging tour. If
you are interested, please call (914) 8352153 at least 24 hours in advance to sign
up. For more information visit www.

Running On Vaisakhi

The winners of last weekend’s Vaisakhi 5K Run in Forest Park.
Following months of organizing
and weeks of registrations, the thirdannual Vaisakhi 5K Run took place
on Sunday, April 24 at Victory Field,
in Forest Park.
The event was conceived by Dr.
Avtar Singh Tinna as a celebration of
Vaisakhi and as a means to promote
sport and fitness within the Sikh community. Dr. Tinna, a marathon runner
himself, serves as the President and
CEO of the race’s organizing committee. Some 901 runners registered
for the race, making this year’s the
largest Vaisakhi 5K to date. “Every
year, we produce another race, and
we learn new things. We learn our demographics, and the demographics we
need to reach out to. We gain a better
understanding of what runners want
from the event, and hope to continue
to provide the best spring-time experience,” Dr. Tinna commented. Vaisakhi
5K 2016 had a special draw in their
chief guest, Fauja Singh, who arrived
earlier in the week from London. Fauja
Singh is the world’s oldest marathon
runner, and brought registrations from
all parts of the tri-state area, and from
as far as states like California.
The first place runner—Gursimran
Singh of Belleville, NJ—finished the
race in 18 minutes and 5 seconds. He
was soon to be followed by brothers
Ajay Singh and Jaspal Singh (Carteret,
NJ), taking second and third places,
respectively. Among female runners,
Riti Dhillon (Floral Park, NY), Jinny
Khanduja (Brooklyn, NY), and Sonya Chhabra (Princeton Junction,
NJ) finished first, second, and third,
respectively.

Melanie McLain will perform “self-extension role,” a
performance that will activate the space, architecture,
and audience surrounding
the Queens International
2016 exhibition. Multiple
performers will conduct
subtle, choreographed
movements that explore
how the physical senses
inform our social environment, either moving
in unison or improvising
according to a set of predetermined guidelines.
Working in tandem with
McLain’s sculpture “Prepersonal,” currently on view
in the galleries, the performance complicates our
ingrained relationships to
intimacy, touch, and sensory connection, blurring
the boundaries between
physical and psychological,
public and private space.
This performance will take
place at the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows
Corona Park from 2:30 to
4:30 p.m.
Aladdin, Jasmine, Iago, Jafar,
the Genie, and others – in

Bayside Seeks Redemption On The Diamond
By DaviD Russell
thew Demartini tossing a shutout.
Then Bayside defeated the High School
of Construction in the finals. “To do
well, you have to have the arms,” Torney said. “I usually don’t go into those
tournaments but we had the arms to
get away with it.”
Demartini is 2-0 with a miniscule 0.63 ERA in nine games. Torney
moved him to the bullpen, but made
the most of his lone start with the shutout against Townsend Harris. Junior
pitcher Dimitri Papazoglou is 3-0 in
four appearances and has yet to give up
an earned run.
The heart of the order has also been
a big plus for Bayside. Junior shortstop Daniel Alfonzo, son of former
Met Edgardo, is hitting .458 with two
homers and nine RBI. Sophomore first
baseman Jesse Spellman is hitting .379
After an ugly 10-3 loss to Christopher Columbus Campus in the PSAL
playoffs last season, the Bayside Commodores are on a mission. Bayside is in
first place in the Queens ‘AA’ East division with an 8-2 record. The humbling
loss from last year may have turned
into motivation.
“I would like to believe so,” said
head coach Pat Torney. “We have a
veteran team. I brought it to their attention and as a history lesson for the
new guys. Anybody can beat anybody
on any given day.”
Bayside have a wealth of pitching,
which led to Torney’s decision to play
in a five-game tournament over three
days. The Commodores beat Townsend
Harris in the semis with senior Mat-
in the cleanup spot and was named a
team captain by Torney, a spot usually
reserved for upperclassmen. “He’s the
first sophomore captain I’ve had,” Torney said. “He’s wise beyond his years.”
Senior Jeremy Arenas moved from
pitcher to third baseman to help solidify the infield. Arenas is hitting .333
in the five-spot. Another senior, Jesse
Iacovetta, has been a nice surprise for
Bayside. The center fielder is hitting
.500 with nine RBI. “He’s the most
improved player on the team,” Torney
said. “He was with me for three years
and was always great defensively, but
now he’s getting it done with his bat.”
With six division games remaining,
Bayside leads Academy of American
Studies by two games in the standings.
Flushing and Townsend Harris are
both 5-3, with Flushing and Bayside
due to meet twice in May.
The coach likes where his squad
stands. “We’re in a good place right
now,” Torney said. “I like where we
stand.”
Even a recent 11-1 drubbing at the
hands of Beach Channel turned into a
teaching moment.
“We’d rather have the blowout loss
now rather than have it in the playoffs
again,” Torney said.
QC Women’s Tennis
Get NCAA Berth
The Queens College women’s team
earned an at-large NCAA Championship selection. As the number two seed
in the East Region, the Knights have
received a bye and will take on the
winner of the matchup between third
seeded Concordia and sixth seeded
Stonehill on May 8th at 10:00 am. Both
matches will be hosted by Queens College at the QC Tennis Center.
The Clippers and Skyhawks did not
meet this season, however the Knights
did top Concordia 6-3 in early April.
It marks the 16th consecutive NCAA
berth for Queens, who sit at 16-3 on the
year. After a second place finish in the
ECC Championship, the Knights posted a 7-1 record this past spring in preparation for the NCAA tournament.
QC will be led by its quartet of AllECC honorees. Senior Andrea Samson, an ECC First Team selection, is
a two-time team captain who has led
the Knights to the NCAA Round of
16 in two of the last three years. This
season, she posted a 14-4 record in
singles. Freshman sensation Boerner,
an another First Team honoree, is 12-4
in singles and 7-2 in doubles.
Angelika Sobiecka and Cami Abdallah, Second Team selections, went
19-1 in doubles this season, and have
won 13 matches in a row. The pair
reached the ITA doubles semi-finals
and again in the Conference championship finals. Sobiecka went 13-6
in singles this season, while Abdallah
went 14-3.
