Andrew Cuomo were on hand to kick off the groundbreaking of the new LaGuardia Airport. Pat Foye, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said, “Today is a day about vision, accomplishment and about promises kept but it is also a day about creation of jobs and economic development.” Taking the stage, Cuomo stated, “This airport is really the front door to New York. This is 20 billion dollars in commerce. Most people coming to New York come right through this airport and this airport has been long overdue for a new airport.” Cuomo announced, “This is not going to be a building of what was, this is going to be a whole new airport, one unified state of the art airport for the first time.” He boasted of an AirTrain that will connect the whole airport and fliers to the LIRR that will take people right to Manhattan and a ferry with access to the new airport. Cuomo said the airport will move 600 feet closer to the Grand Central Parkway, which will increase flight operation 240 percent. During the construction phase of this $7 billion project, he said, 18,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created. “We’re not just building an airport,” he said, “We’re building an airport which is a piece of an entirely new vision that revitalizes New York.” He pointed out that Penn Station will be given a state of the art upgrade and two new tracks for the LIRR as well as the East-Side Access bringing Photo by bruce Adler Vice President Joe Biden speaks as Gov. andrew Cuomo looks on at the groundbreaking ceremony for the overhaul of laGuardia airport on Tuesday. the LIRR to Grand Central Station, and Manhattan will see a $1 billion expansion to the Javitz Center. “LaGuardia itself is exciting, but LaGuardia itself is part of a $100 billion investment in infrastructure, the largest investment in New York State’s infrastructure in modern history and that’s long overdue.” He added that part of that is a $27 billion dollar investment in the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “That is going to be the state’s future. We’re going to be moving more and more people through mass transit and I’m proud to be the Governor that made the largest investment in MTA’s history,” Cuomo said. Cuomo then politely ribbed the Vice President when referring his January 2014 statement that “If you were landing in LaGuardia blind folded, then took off the blindfold, you would think you were in a third world country.” “He was right,” Cuomo added. “I’ve kidded the Vice President about it a few times.” He noted that was the popular interpretation of Biden’s comment, but his actual statement was, “If you were blinded folded and landing in Hong Kong, you would think you were in a modern state of the art airport in the United States. If you landed in LaGuardia blindfolded, you would think you were in a third world country.” His comment, Cuomo said, was meant to illustrate how far behind the U.S. was in investing in its infrastructure. Biden said after World War II until the 1970s, our country invested four percent of the GDP into infrastructure, whereas “today we invest less than one percent.” Biden noted that our country is ranked 26th in the world in transportation infrastructure, then asked, “How can that stand?” After apologizing for his lateness, due to a meeting with the national security advisors about the incident in Orlando, and congratulating Commissioner Bill Bratton on his response to security enhancements during cautious times, he came to back to his commitment toward transportation, “I’m called Mr. Infrastructure and sound like a broken record about what we are not doing.” He discouraged any naysayers of the project. “We can’t do it?” he asked unbelievably, pointed out that in the 1980s, many thought Japan would own everything in our country, and at the turn of the 21st Century others thought China would dominate the new millennium. He noted that our economy is recovering faster than any other nation in the world, “We can’t do it? My God.” LaGuardia was built in 1931 and now accommodates 14 million people a year and when it is rebuilt will accommodate 17.5 million. Biden believes that the city and state has passed the airport by in the digital age and as doorway to this country, the airport should reflect change. “We are still the most progressive, most powerful, most ingenius country in the world and that’s just a fact. That’s not bragging, that’s just a simple straightforward fact.” “This is going to make a big difference,” he concluded while thanking Gov. Cuomo.

A recent update to the Division of Criminal Justice Services website states that a 47-year-old, level 3 sex offender, Dwayne Clark, is living at 79-00 Queens Blvd., which is the address to the approximately 200-bed, 600-resident, family shelter. The office of state Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky (D-Flushing) contacted the Pan Am Shelter and according to Stavisky, they refused to confirm Clark’s residential status at the shelter. “This is outrageous,” Stavisky told the Queens Tribune. “This man is a lifetime registered sex offender that immediately and physically overpowered children. This is not a socially responsi- ble individual due to the likelihood that this crime can be committed again.” According to the DCJS website, Clark sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl and two 13-year-old girls in 1993. The crime was described as sexual abuse to the first degree, with contact by forcible compulsion. He was convicted in 1995 with a 30-month to 5 year state prison sentence. Stavisky is outraged that the Department of Homeless Services would allow this man to be put into a family shelter that is home to primarily mothers and fathers with children. “It’s mind-boggling,” Stavisky said. “DHS and the city have to reexamine the policy to assign people to shelters. The fact that they would allow a level 3 sex offender to live in a family shelter only goes to show that they did not conduct a background check.” In a statement Stavisky released on Tuesday, she said that DHS is sup- reported,” Stavisky said. “I call on DHS and Samaritan Village to remove this individual immediately, if they have not already done so. The well-being and safety of the children in the shelter and surrounding community is at stake.” DHS’ Senior Advisor for Communications, Lauren Gray, responded by stating that there are no sex offenders at the Pan Am Shelter.

In the letter, Crowley wrote that the current travel conditions are inconvenient and difficult for residents and that it’s “vital we take advantage of any opportunity to life this burden.” Back in March, Crowley received the endorsement from Borough President Melinda Katz, whom wrote a letter to the Metropolitan Transit Authority fully in support of the proposal. Earlier this week, the Fiscal Year 2017 budget was released, in which Mayor Bill de Blasio, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Finance Chair, Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland allocated $500,000 to Crowley’s light rail study.

Advocates Fret Over Flushing West In Limbo Since the Department of City Planning froze plans for the Flushing West re-zoning at the end of May, questions remain for developers, community members and advocates about the neighborhood’s future. Chief among the questions for the Flushing Rezoning Community Alliance is affordable housing in the absence of required low-and-middle-income housing that was tied to the rezoning. “This neighborhood is likely to still see intense level of as-ofright development that will not be built without the mandatory affordable units from MIH,” they wrote in a statement. Meanwhile, Downtown Flushing continues to grapple with overcrowding on the no. 7 train and air and water pollution – issues that advocates had made an effort to tie in with the re-zoning in hopes of advancing them. Community Board 7 had planned to hold a meeting Tuesday on the issue but it was postponed after the DCP announced it would not move forward with the project. Instead, the board will hold a Committee Meeting on the Flushing West rezoning and related issues on June 28. –Lynn edmonds Page 6 Tribune June 16-22, 2016 • www.queenstribune.com EDIT PAGE In YOur OpInIOn Reforms Will Keep New Yorkers Out of Jail In Our OpInIOn After Orlando BY COUNCILMAN RORY LANCMAN The massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla. have left all of us shocked and saddened. Though there’s still a lot more to be investigated, it is looking more and more like this act was by a troubled man who merely used fundamentalist views in his religion to justify slaughtering innocent LGBT lives. This was not an attack ordered by any specific group. In some ways, this is indeed more terrifying. Lone wolves are harder to stop. They can easily fall below the radar – just look at Newtown, Columbine and San Bernardino. They all had one thing in common; weapons of mass destruction. There are some things we can do. First, we can do a better job by taking “killing” machines out of the hands of potential attackers. That the shooter, Omar Mateen, was able to legally buy a gun that killed 49 people is outrageous, especially after he had been interviewed twice by the FBI and was known to be an angry, violent, threatening individual. We need to demand our representatives in Washington enact common sense gun reform, including background checks that prevent the mentally ill and those on terrorist watch lists from owning a gun. We need to go further and ban assault rifles. There’s just no justification for them. Yes, our Constitution gives Americans the right to bear arms, but the Second Amendment calls for protecting our property and family; no true hunter needs 36 rounds or more to bring down a deer. More important, we cannot let this attack divide us as a nation. Those few pre-dawn hours in Orlando showed the worst of America; we need to show the best. So far that’s happening. We saw it in the response from emergency officials; the actions of doctors in Orlando who saved 53 lives; from the hundreds who lined up in the oppressive Florida heat to donate blood – some of whom were Muslim – and to the diverse crowd of people who showed up in Jackson Heights Sunday night to express love and support, especially for the grieving LGBT community. That is the best of the best within us. It also means not allowing egomaniacal billionaires to demagogue their way to power by scaring Americans into betraying their values, and demanding that we scapegoat one billion people for the actions of a few. Unfortunately, we have seen anti-Muslim attacks here in Queens, with the attack of a Muslim storeowner in Astoria, firebombing of mosques in Jamaica and reports of girls having their hijabs pulled off in schools. None of those people were responsible for what Mateen did, or for what any other person inflicting violence in the name of Islam has done. We cannot allow ourselves to be so overcome with fear and hate that we become our worst selves. That’s who Omar Mateen was. We know we are better!

Drinking from an open container. Littering. These are all frustrating acts that, as a city, we want to discourage. However, I don’t believe any of these actions rise to a level that merits putting someone through the criminal justice system. That’s why I was proud to join my Council colleagues in passing the Criminal Justice Reform Act, a package of legislation that will change the way we enforce low-level, quality-of-life offenses. For decades, if a police officer saw an individual doing one of these violations, he would write a summons that would land that individual in criminal court. At the courthouse, he would wait in line, often for several hours, to go before a judge for all of thirty seconds. Then he would wait in another line to pay a fine. If he missed his court date, as about one million New Yorkers have, a warrant would be issued for his arrest. This has led, countless times, to New Yorkers spending a night or a weekend in jail, all because they stayed in a park after dark once or played their radio too loud. That’s a consequence far too harsh for the ‘crime’ and far more than is necessary to deter bad conduct. Under the new bills, these offenses will be moved to the civil system. When someone commits one of these offenses, a police officer will still be able to stop them, get ID, and give them a summons. But instead of be- QUESTION OF THE WEEK Do you think the Bayside High School Commodores will win The PSAL AA Championships?

This is the kind of common sense criminal justice reform that the Council has spearheaded. These reforms recognize that the weight of our courts should not be brought down on lowlevel offenders. We know that even one night in jail can have a lasting impact on someone’s life. We know that being forced to spend all day at court to pay a $50 fine means eight hours someone wasn’t working or spending time with their family. With the passage of the Criminal Justice Reform Act, we’re making it clear that we don’t think any New Yorker should suffer these consequences for low-level offenses.

She doesn’t want Queens Residents to have to travel west to Manhattan or east to Long Island to see a top-notch doctor. “People seem to feel like to get high quality care one must go to the city. But what we are doing, we are bringing the city to you,” Mucaria said. The hospital, a partnership between NY Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medical Center, and New York-Presbyterian/Queens hospital, is well on its way to achieving that result. With 31,711 inpatient discharges every year, 3,768 employees and 1,708 physicians, they serve a large population. And they’ve received recognition as a top performer in general health, cardiovascular care, oncology, digestive issues, orthopedics, and pediatrics. But what’s missing is the brand recognition to draw the choosiest customers. Nearly 80 percent of their patients are insured by Medicare or Medicaid, while about 20 percent are commercially insured. While the hospital is committed to serving all patients, the payer mix hurts their bottom line because the federal programs offer lower reimbursements to hospitals than commercial insurers. The hospital’s goal is to attract more of those commercially insured patients. One of their focuses in this regard is to pay attention to the patient experience. Helen Lavas, Senior Director and Chief Patient Experience Officer, said personal experience drove her to care about patients’ comfort and satisfaction, which can impact health outcomes in a number of ways. During a scarring hospital experience 36 years ago, Lavas lost her newborn child and faced a serious threat to her own life. Now, she is dedicated to making sure other patients do get the kind of support they need when dealing with lifethreatening and emotionally painful medical issues. “I need to be there at the hospital to make sure that everyone is listened to, everyone is made to feel cared for, as if they are the only person that is being cared for,” Lavas said. Part of her task is catering to a diverse patient population. The largest section of the patients, at 58 percent, speak English, while Chinese, at 22 percent, and Spanish, at 13 percent, are the second and third most common languages. Staff who speak these languages are available. But with 138 languages spoken in Queens, the work doesn’t end there. The hospital needs to make sure the language needs of every patient are met. Additionally, every country has its own culture around sickness and health. Doctors and nurses need to be aware of those norms in order to give patients the best experience and help them heal quickly. “For a nurse on a unit, there may be a patient population that they like you to sit with them and provide eye contact, and in the next bed, there’s no such thing, that’s a sign of disrespect,” Mucaria said. She added that that the hospital would also be focusing on staff recruitment and facility renovations. “We will be putting a lot of dollars,” into upgrading facilities, she stressed.

On a chilly, breezy June evening, under royal blue skies, only a week after a happy colorful celebration occupied the same space, more than a 100 gathered in a somber, sorrowful tone mixed with anger and a dose of fear. A little more than 12 hours after the worst mass shooting in American history, the crowd gathered in Diversity Plaza in Jackson Heights to mourn, reflect and call for unity and peace. Surrounding tables with candles and rose pedals, attendees listened to the parade of speakers, some shedding tears, nodding their heads and embracing each other. The shock was obvious, the anger palpable, the sadness overwhelming. Tears And Heartbreak At around 2 a.m. Sunday morning, Omar Mateen, 29, a Queensborn resident of Florida, stormed into Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. and opened fire with his AR-15 rifle. By the time police stormed the club and killed Mateen three hours later, he had already killed 49 people – the highest death toll of any mass shooting in American history. The attack appeared to be influenced by the shooter’s apparent hatred for LGBT people and perhaps by fundamentalist Islam. Reporters indicate Mateen declared allegiance to ISIS before the shooting, though he also was apparently a regular at the club and had profiles on several LGBT dating apps. In the aftermath, concerns have arisen over possible backlash against Muslims in the United States – perhaps coming from LGBT people. Dromm sought to use Sunday’s vigil as a chance to unite the two communities. Fighting through tears, the openlygay councilman who was thrust into the public eye a quarter century ago after the murder of Julio Rivera, who was killed because of his sexuality, just blocks from where the vigil took place, pleaded for peace. “We cannot allow these attacks to tear us apart,” Dromm said, holding up a sign that said “I Am Muslim.” A Call For Unity Ali Najmi, president of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, reminisced on the history of that sign. Several years ago, as some Republi- Photos by Domenick RafteR Flag representing pride and peace was held at the rally on Sunday. cans were calling for an investigation into Muslims in the United States, Dromm stood with the Muslim community against profiling. “Dromm and the LGBT community stood with us against Islamaphobia,” Najmi said. “We must stand with them now.” The vigil was organized by Dromm and several religious organizations including SUKHI New York, a nonprofit that manages events at Diversity Plaza and is run by Pakistani-American Agha Saleh. “Nobody can divide us on the basis of extremism, color, faith, creed or race,” he said. “We are one nation under God.” Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) called for unity, but also for LGBT and Muslim people to publicly express pride in who they are. ““If you are LGBT, walk through the streets, be proud. Hold hands, even kiss your partner,” he said. “And if you are Muslim, walk through the streets, hold hands, be proud, be strong. We are all in this together.” The vigil brought in some of the city’s top officials, including Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Public Advocate Letitia James and City Comptroller Scott Stringer. “This is about extremism, not reli- gion,” Mark-Viverito said. James perhaps made the greatest call for unity, describing the 50 lives lost as “50 reasons to stand together.” But it was Stringer who raised the volume. Angry, and at times animated, Stringer called for gun control. “We think about the text from the son to his mother; ‘I’m going to die,’ ... because of a hateful individual who walked into a store and, just like buying a new phone, this ma- niac walked in and bought an assault weapon and then went to a nightclub and caused mayhem,” he said loudly into the microphone. A Community Reacts In Jackson Heights, Queens residents shared in the sense of shock, anger and sadness. “My heart goes out to all of those people who lost their lives,” said Jorge Mendez, a Jackson Heights native. “I can’t imagine heading to a club to have a good time and within minutes, finding that my whole existence is in danger because of who I love.” Justin Grey, an openly gay man, admitted to having nightmares about the Orlando shooting. “When I was gay and closeted a year ago, I knew the type of hatred that man had when he went in there shooting, but nothing in my right mind would ever go and mass murder all of those people,” Grey said. “While no one knows for sure what provoked this man, the rumors suggest that he may have had his own kind of self-hate for being gay. That may or may not be true, but it doesn’t give you a right to decide whether these people live or die because of who they love. Gay people don’t go around shooting or killing straight people because they love the opposite sex. It’s extremely upsetting.” Jose Mora, also a Queens resident, noted that his mind was on the families of the victims. “All I can think about is the families of those who lost their lives,” he said. “They all went out to have a good time, mingle and meet new people and in a split second they were met with gunfire. The craziest turn of events and their families never got to say their good-byes. It breaks my heart to know that.” Julian Mora identified more local issues and gun control in the wake of the attacks. “Is no one questioning how this man got into the club with a gun in the first place? I live in Astoria, where Club Purlieu was just shut down after gunfire erupted and I can’t figure out how these nightclubs don’t guarantee for people’s safety,” said Mora. “It takes people getting shot before real (continued on page 15) NYC Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Councilman Danny Dromm at the rally in Jackson Heights on Sunday. www.queenstribune.com • June 16-22, 2016 Tribune Page 15 OP-ED Don’t Let Homophobia Become Islamophobia By CounCilman Daniel Dromm In the wake of Sunday’s tragic mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, dozens of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and Muslim Jackson Heights residents stood side by side in Diversity Plaza to denounce all forms of violence and to pay their respects to the victims of this massacre and their families. For me, a long-time Jackson Heights resident and LGBT activist, this heartwarming demonstration of love and solidarity is what makes our neighborhood such a unique place in which to live. It stands out in stark contrast to the hate speech of Donald Trump and all those who seek to pit one group of people against another rather than come up with real solutions to ending hate crimes and gun violence. Anger is a natural response to senseless violence. But we must push back against the opportunists who seize this opportunity to stoke the flames of Islamophobia and anti-LGBT sentiment within our respective communities. We must channel our anger and grief into positive action, and advocate for the passage of common sense gun control measures. It is inexcusable that our Republican-led Congress allowed the 1994 ban on military-style assault weapons to expire in 2004.

There is absolutely no reason why military assault weapons can be easily and legally obtained. Together let’s tell Congress to take weapons of war off our streets. Just as importantly, we must do all that we can to demonstrate that LGBT and Muslim lives matter. We must end the marginalization of LGBT people and Muslims by including their history in our school curriculums and text books. We must call for the passage of laws that protect LGBT people from housing and job discrimination. School districts around the nation must follow New York City’s example of declaring the two most important Muslim holidays, Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr, official school holidays. We must continue to push back against those who seek to divide us. LGBT people and Muslims are your Daniel Dromm family, friends and neighbors. We are all impacted by the Orlando tragedy.

Tears And Anguish As Queens Mourns Florida Massacre Victims (continued on page 14) actions are taken. Nightclubs need to be sure that weapons aren’t allowed, weapons, drugs, all of that. Why are we still having these conversations? A nightclub in the city was also shot up by a rapper by the name of Troy Ave. There’s a pattern, I think we need to do something about this issue and fast because aside from it probably being a hate-crime or a terrorist attack, there are ways to prevent these things from happening without affecting the second amendment.” Victor Franco, an openly-gay man and Jackson Heights native, said he disagreed with the attack being called terrorism. “Officials originally called it a terrorist attack, but I can’t see how that’s possible,” he said. “This was a clear hate-crime and I hope that something gets done about this soon, so that no one else loses their lives.” A Sense of Hope While melancholy, there were some at Sunday’s vigil who thought some good could come out of the tragedy. Few attendees at the rally who spoke to the Queens Tribune worried that the attacks would further divide the country or lead to a terrible backlash against Muslims. “I think we’re going to see our groups unify more,” said Sam Charley, a Jackson Heights resident who attended the vigil. “There’s the rest of the country and then there’s this community. I see LGBT people and Muslims interacting here all the time. There’s more that unites them than divides them and they know that.” Indeed while many of the speakers were delivering their words of comfort and mourning Sunday evening, a gay couple stood in Diversity Plaza, unabashedly embracing. Eventually, the two entered a casual conversation with two women in hijabs. “Are you married?” one woman, in a heavy accent, asked. “No,” “Well why not?” the woman asked again with a smile. The four laughed and continued their conversation. In that moment the horror and bloodshed of Orlando seemed a million miles and a million years away. – Yvette Brown contributed to this story.

This is a great gift idea for different budgets, since screwdrivers can typically be purchased individually or in sets. A good-quality option should feature a tube and bits that pull out and reverse easily to configure the driver needed for each job. • No home should be without a versatile plier. Consider one durable enough that Dad may be able to pass it on to you one day. For example, the American-made CHANNELLOCK Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove plier features laser heattreated teeth to provide a better grip and a reinforcing edge to minimize stress breakage. • Replace a clunky old wrench with something better. Look for a thinner wrench that can get into hard to reach areas, while also featuring greater jaw capacity to support larger nuts and bolts. • Looking to go big? Consider a comprehensive set of go-to tools useful for different tasks. Take the guesswork out of the equation with a great gift set, such as the Tool Roll-3 PC Professional Plier Set with Tool Roll. Put together by Channellock, this set includes all the most popular tools -- a lap joint cutting plier, two different sizes of their iconic Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove Pliers, a slip joint plier and a long nose plier. These gifts are available at local retail stores and online at www.channellock.com. Whatever tools you choose this Dad and grad season, the biggest joy will be hanging out and completing a project together with your gift. -StatePoint Charles B.

A recent study shows a growing percentage of 12th grade students performing below the basic level in math, and only a quarter of 12th graders tested at or above proficient achievement level, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. As a parent, what can you do to help your child improve grades and test scores in math? Select Course Work Wisely Talk to your children about what their future plans are for college, being sure to discuss career opportunities in STEM. Even if he or she is uncertain now, talking about the future can be motivational. Steering their career path early will help them remain focused and on target for their larger goals. If any questions arise, your child’s teachers can be a great resource for information and advice. Better Math Gear You can motivate students and bolster academic performance by providing them with the technology they need to succeed. “As students get older and enter advanced classes, they will need higher-functioning tools to solve difficult equations quickly, and explore more complex connections and applications,” said Dr. Karen Greenhaus, education technology expert at Casio America, Inc. “Be sure to provide your child with calculators that have menus and processes right on the screen, which will help reduce the amount of time it takes for them to work out the equation and get to more in-depth learning and conceptual understanding.” Greenhaus notes that it’s also important to find calculators that are permitted on important tests, such as AP, SAT and SAT II well in advance of taking these tests, so that children understand the tools they need to support their test-taking abilities. New models, such as those from Casio, can help students explore mathrelated activities and exercises easily due to their broader range of functions and faster processing speeds. The PRIZM’s icon-based menu makes usability more intuitive than previous calculator models and USB connectivity helps students take their lessons from calculator to computer. More information can be found a CasioEducation.com. Healthy Study Habits As a parent, you can help ensure your student maintains habits that foster better learning. When it comes to homework and studying, discourage procrastination. Regularly check in with your child’s progress and ask about upcoming tests. If math is one of your child’s more difficult subjects, suggest he or she start with math homework first and save favorite subjects for later in the evening. Make sure students get plenty of sleep. Classroom material is best absorbed when students are alert. While math scores nationwide are falling, the right tools and study habits can help your student buck the trend. –StatePoint www.queenstribune.com • June 16-22, 2016 Tribune Page 19 Page 20 Tribune June 16-22, 2016 • www.queenstribune.com PIX Days Of Katz And Roses Forest Hills Street Fair Food and fun under sunny June skies at Saturday’s street fair on Austin Street and 71st Avenue in Forest Hills.

Marcus Burnett, owner of the Rockaway Brewing Company, gave a short presentation to Community Board 5 about his proposed pop-up beach party La Playa at 176 Woodward Ave in Ridgewood. Burnett, who is also a cinematographer for National Geographic, owns the brewing company in partnership with Ethan Long. The duo started as avid home brewers and then began their venture in Long Island City in 2012, where they currently have a staff of 12. He noted that when the state passed legislature that allowed brewies to operate five additional “farm sites” their tap in LIC became more like a tasting facility where they have ten beers on tap. In Burnett’s presentation, he showed photos of customers. “I want you to notice in these picture the style of people who come to get educated about local beer they’re not bar flies,” he said. He explained that they plan to open an approximately 950 square foot structure, with a maximum capacity of 75 people and will have music only indoors. He noted that there will be no DJ or live music at the location. It was it pointed out that Burnett displayed several supportive letters to the community from Sunnyside and Long Island City, but no letters from Photo by jon cronin Rockaway Brewing Co. owner Marcus Burnett at CB 5’s meeting. local residents. Burnett noted the site is properly licensed and that the State Liquor Authority considers the location to be a proper location for their business. The SLA will have to approve their farm brewing license, which allows them to up to five locations outside of their home location. They have yet to make the site a remote location. Vinnie Arcuri, CB 5 chairman, said there is currently a stop work order at the site and Burnett pointed out that is because of the height of the fence and the stability of the fence. Burnett claimed the only engagement he had with someone with a negative opinion of the site was with neighbor Jon Armstrong. He said they had a long conversation and was “very reasonable.” He said Armstrong was concerned about the noise because he works at home and would like them to close by 8 p.m. He said other than that, whenever he is at the site on Woodward Avenue, “I haven’t had one person stop by opposing it,” and said he had several visitors excited about the upcoming tasting room. He added that once it is open, “It is our responsibility that [guests] don’t over indulge.” Armstrong spoke at the CB 5 meeting, and explained that when he first heard of La Playa, he said, “’Oh cool idea. Wait a second. Where is there supposed to be?’ And then my head exploded. I’ve been against this idea from that point on.” He later garnered, an 25 signatures to petition against its opening, “I had people tracking me to sign.” Armstrong added, “I do wish you good. It’s maybe even a good a idea. It may not be for our neighborhood.” Shirley, a Ridgewood resident and neighbor to the location said, “I support that your product is made in the U.S.A…but this is one product that I do not support and the community doesn’t support as well.” She told him he was happy that his small business is growing, but does not feel that he has chosen an appropriate location. Regarding how the top of his 950 square foot structure will have sand, she said, “We have a lot of stray cats, I do not know how you will prevent that from becoming a litter box.” She added, “We ask that you respect the wishes of the residents and find a different location. I’m confident that you will find another community that will welcome you,” and noted that noted that in the 90 minutes before the May community board meeting they garnered an additional 25 signatures to Armstrong’s petition to stop the opening of the location. Jean Tanler, director of Industrial Business Development Maspeth Industrial Business Association of the Queens Business Outreach Center, was the sole supporter of the pop-up beach party location. She noted that they make their beer from locally grown products, aid in community job growth and are accessible from public transportation. She noted that the owners are “reasonable people, more than willing to meet with the community and work any issues out.” Reach Reporter Jon Cronin at (718) 357-7400 x125, [email protected] or @JonathanSCronin Four Night March In Jackson Heights By Ariel HernAndez Staff Writer that the violent act took place in a club,” Dromm said. “Gay clubs and bars are our sanctuary.

On Tuesday night, Dromm marched with Club Evolution, Jackson Heights’ famous gay club. That march was more of a club tour, as it went from club-to-club.

In 1990, Jackson Heights resident Julio Rivera was beaten to death by three skinhead gang-affiliated men who went out to attack a gay man. Another hate crime occurred in Jackson Heights in 2001 when Edgar Garzon was fatally beaten on his way home from a bar. The Orlando Shooting at Pulse Night Club that occurred on Sunday, June 12, killing 49 people, was a very tragic day for not only those within the LGBT community but for Americans around the country. “This terrible crime calls attention for the whole world to see how this type of hatred can grow and fester,” Dromm said. “If anything good does come out of this, it’s that we can now have discussions on why these hate crimes occur and find a way to stop it.” Reach Ariel Hernandez at (718) 357-7400 x144 or ahernandez@ queenstribune.com www.queenstribune.com • June 16-22, 2016 Tribune Page 23 Dining & Entertainment Page 24 Tribune June 16-22, 2016 • www.queenstribune.com LEISURE Light, Camera, NYC: Five Decades Of Filmmaking In The Big Apple By yvette Brown Staff Writer to present this year of events and initiatives aimed at exposing New Yorkers from all backgrounds to everything that On June 8, Mayor Bill de Blasio, the media and entertainment sectors Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and the have to offer,” said Menin.

Elected in 2012, Sanders represents the neighborhoods of South Jamaica, Rochdale Village, Rosedale, Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, Springfield Gardens and most of the Rockaways. Sanders visited QPTV to talk about the needs and complaints of senior citizens in his district, and to make the public aware of various services and events that are created for constituents in Southeast Queens at different times throughout the year. He also highlighted programs that are offered to people of all ages like their Community Clergy Breakfast, the Artist Circle, and Sexual Assault Defense Training and Prevention.

The initiatives launched, as announced by MOME, were: 50 for 50, where MOME will present 50 free events throughout the upcoming year. This will provide an inside look at New York’s entertainment industry and all of the events will be open to the public. Access Broadway is another initiative with over 1,000 free tickets to Broadway shows for New York City Housing Authority residents throughout the year. MOME Movie Matinees is one of the initiatives, where a wide-ranging partnership will provide low-income families throughout NYC with over 1,000 feature films free of charge in theaters during the month of August. The next initiative is Broadway in the Boroughs, which is an effort to bring Broadway to new audiences and MOME will stage free performances in each borough during the summer. The last two initiatives are the “50 Years of Magic” mobile app and the Industry Retrospective – 50 Years of TV and Film in NYC. The free mobile app will provide up-to-date details on all of the anniversary events throughout the year. There will also be an interactive map featuring highlights from NYC’s expansive film and TV history. The Industry Retrospective is a new report that highlights achievements of the City’s film and TV sectors, as well as their contributions to the economy. “Growing up in New York City, I was inspired by the energy and creativity of the people and places all around me. Attending public schools provided me a phenomenal foundation for my career in music and gave me an understanding of the diversity there is in the world. I’m excited to be an ambassador for MOME this year and support them as they give back to the City’s diverse communities by presenting free events in the outer boroughs in the coming months. This is a great time to be a part of New York’s rich and multi-cultural entertainment industry, and I’m glad to share this moment with New Yorkers from all backgrounds,” said Keys. “What’s amazing about this industry – first of all, it’s something that defines us, we’re so proud of it as New Yorkers, it – it connects perfectly to our artistry, our cultural values as a city, the creativity that’s so natural in this place. It creates the – it connects beautifully to who we are as the ultimate multicultural city. Because one thing you hear from a lot of folks, including in that small backwater place called Hollywood, is the stories – the richness of the stories – from all over the world that are here in New York are just unsurpassed. So, part of our identity, part of who we are, part of our economy, part of what makes a good life possible for so many New Yorkers and their families,” said de Blasio. “We’re proud that this industry is so strong but there’s a lot more to do. And we have worked to reach a lot of the new opportunities that exist as well. So MOME, the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, now focuses as well on advertising, on music, and on digital content – and the sky is the limit in all those areas.” Reach Yvette Brown at (718)3577400 ext. 128, ybrown@queenstribune. com or @eveywrites.

Bill’s fascinating story is one of the reasons the movie is so compelling. He was upset about the bystander apathy and several years later when his friends tried getting out of the service, Bill enlisted in the Marines. He would go to Vietnam, where he lost his legs in combat. As Bill keeps digging, he finds news writers and broadcasters from the era, tries to contact the murderer and deals with his own siblings who don’t understand his fixation on the subject. By the time the movie ends, Bill has answers but told the Kew Gardens crowd that the story has not ended. “It’s not really over,” Bill said after the movie. “Kitty’s always with me.

A pointed paintbrush and a slightly larger paintbrush were our tools. We put on our smocks and went to work. First, we had to move the blue paint into another hole in our canvas and mix with water to make it looser. The first part was easy - while holding a paper plate against the canvas, we traced the full moon with blue paint. We made clear blue strokes in a circular motion round the plate. Once we traced the moon, we painted the sky around the rest of the canvas, leaving a full moon in a dark blue sky. Cornell told then another batch of white paint. I had some trouble with the blossoms at first, but Corneil was great in showing me the best way to dab the brush on the canvas to create the look of a blossoming flower. Red blossoms first, then pink and then the white to fill in the spaces. It amazed me how quickly the colors blended in to make it look realistic. Over the course of the 80 minutes or so it took to paint the project, the ten of us in the room laughed and mocked our lack of painting skills. But the final project ended up looking pretty good for each one of us. Art often frustrates me, but this work didn’t seem to at all. I found it therapeutic and a good release to take out my weekly stress on a canvas. I found myself focusing on the strokes and the blots and not on the problems that had been camping out in my mind for the previous few days. I found my painting a little more rough and ragged than the others, but I suspect it has something to do with my anxious personality. Paint nights offer an exciting escape and great bonding experience. It is also a great opportunity to see exactly how much you’ve underestimated your skills. My only suggestion is adding a good Merlot or Cabernet. www.queenstribune.com • June 16-22, 2016 Tribune Page 29 Heart Disease Doubles For Women With Diabetes by Dr. DaviD SamaDi grounds have a higher prevalence of CVD than Caucasian women without Both men and women with type 2 diabetes.

Park Lane South To Be Paved Soon The repaving of Park Lane South between Union Turnpike and Metropolitan Avenue, which was milled about a month ago, is projected to be completed by early July. According to a source, the City Department of Transportation has been coordinating with various stakeholders and accommodating water repairs and local religious observations. The QueensMillingandPavingSchedule, however, states that work will be done on Friday, June 17. Park Lane South is one of the few roads that have been worked on in Kew Gardens that still hasn’t been repaved. The rough road surface has caused traffic issues along the busy thoroughfare during the morning rush hour. Last Spring, a portion of Park Lane South between Metropolitan Avenue and 115th Street was torn up to replace sewer mains. The project lasted several months and caused several traffic problems during the morning and afternoon rush hour. -ariel Hernandez MICKEY MANTLE TRIPLE CROWN BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT MORE THAN A GAME @ Friday, june 24 7:05 p.m. FIRST 18,000 GUESTS IN ATTENDANCE Presented by #THISISBASEBALL FOR TICKETS: (877) 469-9849 OR (800) 943-4327 (TTY) NOTICE: For the safety of every Guest, all persons specifically consent to and are subject to metal detector and physical pat-down inspections prior to entry.

SJU Track Stars Take Final Lap In Oregon By DaviD Russell Two track and field stars ended their St. John’s careers in the NCAA championships in Oregon last week. Claire Mooney and Stephanie Van Pelt were two of the best athletes that head coach Jim Hurt had in his 27 years at St. John’s. “They rank right up at the top and we’ve had a lot of kids over the years, so they’re pretty special,” Hurt said. Mooney competed in the 800-meter race and Van Pelt was in the 1,500meter run. Hayward Field, where the race was held at the University of Oregon, is the “Mecca of track and field,” Hurt said. Competing in Oregon was a thrill for Van Pelt. “I never thought I would make it four years ago and end my career there,” Van Pelt said. The two athletes fell short of qualifying for the finals but they did almost everything else at St. John’s. Mooney holds the indoor school-records in the 400- and 500- meter dashes, and out- door school-record in the 800-meter dash. She also won the gold medal in the 500-meter dash at the 2016 Big East Indoor Championships. Mooney came to New York from County Kildare in Ireland and liked the atmosphere at St. John’s. “The school isn’t too big so it feels easier to make friends,” Mooney said. “They’ll help you with anything you need help with.” One friend is Van Pelt, who is a roommate as well as a teammate. Van Pelt holds the outdoor 1,500-meter school record and the indoor 800meter school-record. While they talk about more than just athletics, (both name “The Notebook” as their favorite movie according to the school website) conversations often turn to the sport. “It’s good to have someone else who has an interest in track and field,” Mooney said. The goal of college athletes is to compete at nationals, and the duo was able to say they did it. “You always dream big,” Mooney said. “It’s nice when it comes true.” Bayside actually played better later in the playoffs than they did in the opening rounds, partially because the postseason jitters cleared up. “When we finally won the first couple of rounds and got into the semifinals they realized they could do something that no other baseball team in Bayside has ever done,” Torney said. With Bayside leading 3-1 in the fifth, Eleanor Roosevelt loaded the bases with two outs. Bayside Pitcher Dimitri Papazoglou got the Blas Lee lined a run- win. scoring single to left, but Anthony Costa preserved the lead head,” said shortstop Daniel Alfonzo. with a one-hop throw to home plate to “I was like, ‘Oh, we’re going to win this, we’re going to win this.’ By the nail the potential tying run. In the seventh, Eleanor Roosevelt time the ball came to me I knew I had had two runners on with nobody out, to relax because I didn’t want to make and Matthew DeMartini, who started a bad throw, but I stayed calm and I at second, was on the mound. A bunt got the guy out.” It’s a memorable ending to finish was popped up, and caught by the pitcher who turned and threw to sec- a great season. “It feels awesome winond for the double play. Then came ning a championship,” Alfonzo said. the final out, a ground ball to short. “We put so much time and effort and “So many emotions that come into my look where it got us.” By A Nose Photo by bruce Adler Creator (13) on the outside edges passed Destin (2) and won the 148th running of the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday. www.queenstribune.com • June 16-22, 2016 Tribune Page 43 Page 44 Tribune June 16-22, 2016 • www.queenstribune.com
