Struggling City Schools Face State Takeover
The New York State Education Department identified 144 schools in 17
districts statewide, including nine in
Queens, as Struggling or Persistently
Struggling institutions. In an effort to
improve each school, many of which
are chronically low performing, NYSED created a new section of education law pertaining to school receivership.
“In those schools designated as
Persistently Struggling, there will
be an unprecedented infusion of resources to support school turnaround
efforts,” Board of Regents Chancellor
Merryl Tisch said. “This is an opportunity that communities must seize
to come together to fundamentally
rethink how these schools carry out
their obligations.”
The program addresses two kinds of
underperforming schools: Persistently
Struggling and Struggling. Persistently
Struggling schools are the most severe
and have been so since the 2006-07
school year and Struggling schools
have been priority schools since the
2012-13 school year.
In Queens, nine schools were identified as Struggling. They include PS 11
in District 30; JHS 8 in District 28; MS
53 and Richmond Hill and John Adams high schools in District 27; Martin Van Buren High School in District
26; Flushing High School in District
25 and Grover Cleveland High School
in District 24.
These, along with the 62 other Persistently Struggling and Struggling
schools in New York City – higher
than any other area in the state – will
be placed in the hands of the superintendents of the specific schools’ districts, who will be given “receivership
powers” to improve performances.
Superintendents will have two years
to show improvement in Struggling
Schools and one in Persistently Struggling Schools.

Boro Council Members Tout Budget Items
By DoMenick RafTeR
Editor In Chief
Less than a month after the City
Council passed the city’s Fiscal Year
2016 budget, members of the Queens
delegation are spending the summer
highlighting items in it for their districts.
Councilman Paul Vallone (DBayside) said the budget allocated
$14 million to his district, including
funds to renovate several parks and
fund music and upgrades to several
Northeast Queens schools.
“As promised, I’ve continued
working hand in hand with my fellow elected officials and have been
able to ensure that my constituents
finally begin to receive their fair
share of funding,” Vallone said. “This
year’s budget is another clear victory for our communities and will
go a long way to continue making
our schools, parks, libraries and nonprofits the best they can be.”
Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing)
announced that the budget allocated
$13 million in Capital funds for the district including $3.7 million to schools
and almost $3 million to upgrades at
Kissena Corridor Park and Maple playground and security cameras.
Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone
Park) announced that he had secured
$685,000 for local community groups,
civic associations, senior centers,
volunteer fire departments, athletic
leagues, veterans organizations, and
other local groups in our community.
Some of the grant recipients include:
Ulrich secured $5 million in capital
funds for 30 capital projects within
the district, half of which, $2.51 million, was designated through the Par-
ticipatory Budgeting Project held earlier this year.
“Above all, this year’s budget keeps
New Yorkers and their families safe
and protects the vital services we all
rely upon,” Ulrich said. “It also provides funding for local groups that
serve my constituents in every corner
of the district. Since taking office, I
have made sure that we receive our fair
share of city services and resources in
the budget. This year is no exception.”

budget items can be found on our

Uber Uses App To Target Mayor De Blasio
By Domenick RafteR
Editor in Chief
On Uber’s smartphone application, there is a selection tool on
the bottom that allows a user to
toggle to pick a category – either
a black car, an UberT, UberX, or
UberPool, where you can share
a cab with someone else. In New
York City, the app has added another option – De Blasio.
If users slide to that option,
they will see a message that says
“No Cars- See Why.” When a user
clicks the message, they receive a
notice that says, “This is what Uber
will look like in NYC if Mayor de
Blasio’s Uber cap bill passes.”
A spokeswoman for Uber confirmed the message is embedded
every time a customer accesses
the app in the five boroughs. Some
apps say the wait time under the
“de Blasio” setting is 25 minutes.
Uber has been targeting de
Blasio and the City Council for
proposed legislation that would
cap the number of drivers the
company could hire in the city
at 10,000. The ride share company claims the bill will stunt
job growth and make it harder
for customers to use the service.
Uber has also engaged in an advertising blitz on television and
radio across the city. On Tuesday
in Queensbridge, the company
kicked off a “citywide jobs tour,”
aimed at building popular opposition to the legislation.
But supporters of the legislation, such as Councilman Rory
Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows),
claim the proposal is not meant
to kill Uber in the city, rather to
regulate the company in a highlyregulated industry. Lancman,
who called uber “a rogue company,” said the bill would seek
to prevent city streets from being overwhelmed by Uber drivers, and criticized the company’s
practice of “surge pricing,” which
the company contends is necessary to regulate demand and encourage drivers, who make their
own schedules, to work during
times of high demand.
De Blasio, in the meantime,
has spoken out on the issue after
being mum for several weeks.
“There are a lot of unintended
consequences we’re starting to
see, congestion and pollution,” he
told reporters Monday. “There are
real issues in terms of accessibility
for folks who are disabled. There
are a lot of open questions here
that have to be addressed. The
logical thing for government to
do is to say ‘we have to have some
rules here, and some regulation.”
The mayor’s position, however, is not shared by several
prominent elected officials from
his own party. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan, Queens,
Brooklyn) and City Comptroller
Scott Stringer have both come out
against the Uber cap bill.
“It makes no sense to arbitrarily cap Uber and other for-hire
vehicle companies before we study
the impact of congestion on the
streets of New York,” Stringer said
in a written statement. “We need
to make sure that our transportation system works for everyone,
including the city’s traditional
yellow cabs, for-hire drivers, and
most importantly the riding public. We need to think strategically
about building out our transportation networks in a way that makes
long-term sense for all New Yorkers. In the meantime, we should
delay any vote in the Council and
begin an earnest discussion about
a range of key issues.”
Stringer suggested the city first
look at the wages and work hours
of cab drivers, the possibility of
surcharges laid on all cab companies that would go toward mass
transit, sharing of GPS data to the
city by private car companies and
equal access to taxis citywide.

How The City Battles The West Nile Virus
by Domenick RafteR
Editor In Chief
The latter half of summer is mosquito season, and with mosquitoes
come the diseases they carry - most
notably the one that has become synonymous with New York summers
this century, West Nile Virus.
In an exclusive interview conducted at the Queens Tribune offices,
merely a mile from where West Nile
was first discovered in the Western
Hemisphere in 1999, the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s
Director of Vector Control, Dr. Waheed Bajwa, outlined the city’s process
to prevent the spread of the disease
and advised residents to take precautions now.
Bajwa said the city gets an early start
on targeting the mosquito population
as soon as the weather gets warm.
“We begin focusing on the issue as
early as April,” he said. “We enhance
our surveillance to find sites to survey
for mosquito activity and treatment
during the mosquito season.”
So-called “wet areas,” which includes spots Bajwa identified such as
the former Flushing Airport and the
marshland in Bayswater and Edgemere
in the Rockaways, are treated from as
early as May. The treatment continues
through October. The Department of

What Ever Happened To Mayoral Control?
More than a decade ago, the antiquated, corrupted, dysfunctional system that
was the Board of Education was replaced with a Department of Education in which
the mayor has a monopoly of power. Mayoral control was one of the first policy items
former Mayor Bloomberg sought to enact.
Now that there’s a new mayor, suddenly mayoral control isn’t all it’s cracked up
to be. Not only did Mayor de Blasio get only a one year extension of mayoral control
from Albany, but now the State Education Department is seeking to take over 69 city
schools, including seven in Queens.
We don’t begrudge the Cuomo administration for doing what it feels it needs to
do to turn around struggling schools, but it’s curious that this is happening now,
while he and the mayor are in the midst of a very public political feud. Why didn’t
Albany go down this road three years ago when the Bloomberg administration’s attempts to close many of these very same schools was thwarted by a court-appointed
arbitrator? Why now?
Advocates for mayoral control, which we have long supported, said often “If you
don’t like the education policy, change the mayor.” New Yorkers did just that. Albany
should give de Blasio a chance to enact his vision, or get rid of mayoral control
completely. They should not be pushing for half measures. Our children deserve
decisive action.

Protect Regents Whistleblowers
A
To The Editor:
c c ord i n g t o p u b lished accounts, an
e-mail from a Richmond Hill High School assistant
principal allegedly points to a
Regents exam re-scoring scandal of which the public would
have been none the wiser had
it been kept secret. But one
or more staff members, with
discreet anonymity, apparently brought it to the media’s
attention.
If it is true, whoever forwarded it should be praised for
his or her public service. But
had they identified themselves
openly, the whistleblower(s)
could have quite possibly
kissed their jobs good-bye.
Same fate if they are fingered
by others.
This unselfish act of honor
seems to have triggered a lawenforcement investigation of
the possible whistleblower(s).
There is no mention of anyone else being sought or
targeted.
The Department of Educa-
tion’s denial that teachers had
re-scored the exams suggests
that perhaps the claim is fictional or that staff member(s)
were insubordinate by failing
to comply with an illegal order.
Whether or not the denial is
fact-based, it is certainly undeniable that the DOE has a
highly-developed instinct for
exonerating supervisors.
Doing the right thing needs
no long-winded legal exculpation or bogus technical defenses.
Generally speaking, whether a
marginal supervisor is guilty
of a gross violation or a gross
supervisor is culpable of a slight
infraction, the “chips should fall
where they may” and it shouldn’t
be in the lap of innocent mandated reporters.
It was observed that investigators were sleuthing around
the building to catch anyone
who might have “leaked” the
alleged e-mail. When it comes
to sharing with the authorities
any potential wrongdoing that
might embarrass management, the injunction of sages
is “If you see something, say
nothing.”
One should always cooperate with law-enforcement. But
what this story, if all its details
are substantiated illustrates,
is that union-negotiated and
enforced due-process rights
protect not only their own
members but the general public
as well.

Anti-Pirating Laws Don’t Work
T
To The Editor:
his past June, a new law
passed in Australia that
made it a requirement
for Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) to ban websites designed
for uploading and downloading copyrighted content, or
“pirating.” We can only hope
that a similar law isn’t passed
in the United States, due to the
controversial and somewhat
awkward kinks in Australia’s
law, which has been met with
a number of criticisms.
According to an article written by Marc C. Scott, found on
Australia’s Lifehacker website,
the estimated annual cost to
implement this law and to
make ISPs adhere to the law’s
requirements came to nearly
$131,000, all which may have to
be paid by the ISPs. While this
may not seem like a large figure,
it is assumed that in order to
pay for these obligations, the
cost for consumers to be able
to access the Internet will rise,
hereby making the consumers
pay for it.
Additionally, merely blocking Australians from accessing
websites that host pirated content will not prevent them from
actually accessing the content.
The United Kingdom passed a
similar law in 2012, leading to a
74 percent decrease in Internet
traffic to well-known pirating
sites, according to an Incorpro
report. However, traffic to other
pirating websites increased. A
number of Internet extensions
and proxy websites exist that
allow for users to hide their
location while browsing. These
services are known as Virtual
Private Networks, or VPNs,
and are already pretty popular
in Australia. When Denmark
attempted to block notorious
file-sharing website The Pirate
Bay, Internet users quickly
found ways to get around it.
Of course, people are wondering what this might mean
for the future of American

Internet. While downloading
copyrighted content is indeed
essentially stealing something
artists spent time and money
to create, some people believe
there are better solutions to
counter piracy. For example,
Fremantle Media – a production company known for creating shows such as “American
Idol,” “The X Factor,” and “The
Price is Right” – has chosen to
help manage its own content
uploaded to YouTube by regular
users of the website, seeing it as
“fan loyalty” and finding a way
for itself to make money from
people viewing the clips, and
keeping it free for ISP users to
watch the clips. Downloading
content or viewing it online also
helps build the artists’ brand,
and can lead to the consumer
eventually purchasing the
content through a website like
iTunes, and recommending the
content to others.
If a similar law were to be
introduced in the States, the
same issues expected in Australia would arise. If the ISPs
are required to pay, that would
mean higher Internet access
costs for ordinary citizens,
even those who have never
downloaded any illegal content in their life. People who
do regularly file share illegally
would find ways to circumvent
the blocks. While the possibility of blocking VPN services is
alive, that provides even more
issues for people who use VPN
services for basic online privacy
reasons, which would also be a
breach of Internet users’ freedoms. The Australian law leaves
this possibility a grey area, not
stating explicitly that VPNs
will or will not be blocked. If a
similar law were to be passed
in the United States, it would
have to be much clearer as to
just where copyright holders’
power begins and the consumers’ freedom ends.

City’s First Lady: Read To Your Kids
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
New York City’s First Lady Chirlane McCray partnered with Scholastic
and the Quinton Foundation to help
publish “Love Is,” a book aimed at promoting early language development in
children. McCray read the book aloud
at the Jackson Heights branch of the
Queens Library on July 15.
“Love Is” was inspired and edited
by McCray, written and developed
by Anna W. Bardaus and designed by
Janie Smith. The book displays loving
photos of children with their parents
while describing the different definitions of love with lines like, “Love is
a song. Love is walking and talking.
Love is you and me.” Towards the end
of the book, McCray has written tips
of things that parents or caregivers
can do with their children while on the
go or at home to improve their child’s
language development.
“We wanted something that also
strengthens the bond between the parents or caregivers and the child, and
reading is a wonderful way to do that
so we thought ‘what better way than
to encourage parents to read to their
children?’” said McCray.
The more words a child knows, the
better they do in school, McCray explained. The First Lady emphasized
though that reading isn’t the only way
to learn different words. Singing and
talking to the child helps them learn
new words at an early stage and “Love
Is” is easy to handle for toddlers.
McCray explained that having children herself gave her insight into how
important language development really is.
“One of the things I most loved to do
was to read to [my children] and they
have their favorites and these are some
of the best memories I have of them as
they’re children,” said McCray. “Those
moments where we got together and
read and learned new words, it’s nothing more important for parents to do.”
The books will be distributed
through city programs, such as Reach
Out and Read, which targets families
unlikely to have personal libraries, including lower income families.
“Love Is” isn’t the only thing McCray has helped to work on to get the
message out there about language development.
“We have these baby book bundles,”
added McCray. “There are tool kits in
these bundles and so there are a number of activities and songs and they
also have a website, it’s called nyc.gov/
talktoyourbaby, the parents can sign up
and get tips every week about how they
can interact with their child to promote
development. It’s a texting service, it’s
really wonderful and again it helps parents and children to connect with each
other in a positive way.”

on Thursday, July 16 that this program
will aid in bridging the, “disparity in
economic circumstances.”
She pressed three pillars of the program; partnership with the community, public education and progress
measurement. She noted, “There is a
mechanism for measurement.”
The program will be implemented
at Elmhurst Hospital Center and Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Karen Lockworth, director of the
Women and Children’s Division at
Elmhurst Hospital Center, said her hospital has the community relationship that
would, “allow the program to flourish in
an ethnically diverse community.”
Bruce Flanz, president and CEO of
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. said,
“This initiative is very important,”
adding that its, “model has proven
effective.” He’s happy to read about
the program’s success in the other five
states and feels the implementation of
the program in Queens will provide a
forum for expectant mothers in need
of prenatal care and share their experi-
ences with one another.
Dr. Scott D. Berns, who travels the
country as part of the March of Dimes
National Prematurity Campaign promoting the Healthy Babies are Worth
the Wait program said, “Everyone told
us we wanted to start with these two
hospitals.”
Berns noted with this program,
health care providers do not have to
“re-invent the wheel” to care for women with high risk for premature birth.
“This is a proven program that will
make a difference.”
He said among the 30 sites across
the five states - Kentucky, Texas, New
Jersey, New York and Kansas - they
have made significant progress in getting women earlier prenatal care in
their first trimester.

Stavisky Looks Back On Rocky Session
By Lynn Edmonds
Staff Writer
Last year’s scandal-laden legislative
seLast year’s scandal-laden legislative
session was surprisingly productive,
state Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing)
told a group of journalists shortly after
the end of the session.
She said that the Senate passed
1,628 bills, the Assembly passed 1,065,
and they jointly signed off on 718 bills
to be sent to the Gov. Andrew Cuomo
– a larger number than last year.
Stavisky praised Senate Majority leader John Flanagan (R-Suffolk
County) and Assembly Speaker Carl
Heastie (D-Bronx) for rising to the occasion and working well together after
their predecessors Dean G. Skelos (RNassau County) and Sheldon Silver
(D-Manhattan) faced sullied reputations and charges of corruption.
But, she said, their resignations o
hadn’t changed Albany’s power structure, which favored three men: the
Governor, the Senate Majority Leader,
and the Assembly Speaker.
“Have things changed? Not really.”
Stavisky said in reference to the shakeup. “Unfortunately we still have three
men in a room, which I think is a serious mistake.”
Stavisky described the scandals
that beset Albany as “disgraceful” and
said they needed to pass ethics legis-

housing, to education, energy, and
taxes. Specifically, it gave de Blasio
mayoral control of schools for one
year, extended rent regulation, and
extended 421a tax abatement for real
estate developers who build affordable
housing – for six months.
Another piece of legislation that
Stavisky highlighted was the Women’s
Equality Act, a bill designed to increase gender equality in New York
City. Nine of the bill’s ten points
passed, the tenth being a code that
would allow women to get abortions
up to 24 weeks, or when their health
was in danger, something that is allowed under federal law.
A bill to prevent campus sexual assault passed with bipartisan support,
while a bill for paid family leave was
shut down by Republicans.
She said that was one of many
“missed opportunities,” including
action on minimum wage and the
DREAM Act.
Calling the failure to act on minimum wage “outrageous,” Stavisky said
“people cannot live on $16,000 a year,
which is what the minimum wage
works out to be.”
She also strongly supported the
DREAM Act, saying “I think everybody benefits,” from the legislation.

CD 23 Forum
Candidates Discuss Plans, Trade Barbs
In First Debate
By Tess mcrae • Editor
W
hat started out as a typical candidate forum – questions from a designated panel,
timed responses, and allotted time for
constituent queries – was shaken up when Michael Foubister, a 54-year-old Glen Oaks man,
walked into the Bellerose Jewish Center on
Tuesday night.
community needs
someone who cares
and knows how to
solve a problem.”
Friedrich, a civic
leader who has run for the District
23 seat as both a Republican and
Democrat in the past, laid much emphasis on the potential site of a juvenile detention center on Jamaica
Avenue in Queens Village. The Glen
Oaks Village president has held rallies and protests in front of the proposed location – once home to Merrick Academy charter school – every
Saturday afternoon. He promised to
continue protesting until the plan is
revoked.
“I have a 20-year record of civic
leadership,” Friedrich said. “I didn’t
have to do that, I did it because I
wanted to, because I love this community.”
Satnam Singh Parhar, a community leader and founder of Sant Baba
Nidhan Singh Ji Cultural Society, like
many of the candidates, cited unity
as a top concern. Pahar is one of
three South Asian candidates.
“I believe in a free country,” he
said in response to an audience
question on a lack of South Asian
Council members. “Yes, I am South
Asian, but in City Hall, we are all
one, we are for everyone. It’s not
just about South Asians. America
has one community and that is
America.”
Joe Concannon, the only Republican in the race, took a strong stance
on crime reduction. The former cop
cited rising crime statistics
– which fell this month – as
a sign the city is headed in
the wrong direction.
“As a police officer, I patrolled the streets of every
borough and when there
is an increase in murders, like we’re seeing in
Queens South, there is a
problem,” he said. “I have
disagreed with almost everything this City Council
and this mayor have done
and, if elected, I will fight
to make our streets safe
again.”
Foubister, who prefers
to be called Mike, did not
have much knowledge
of specific legislation he
agreed or disagreed with.
And though he did not
mention particular bills he
would like to introduce on
the Council floor, he assured voters he was there
for them.
“My door will always be
open,” he said. “And the

“I’d like to participate,” he said,
thrusting a stack of papers into the
hands of the panel. “I’m a candidate.
Here is my name on the Campaign
Finance Board.”
Despite a brief dismissal of
Foubister’s claim made by Bob
Friedrich, the panel checked the papers and, sure enough, there was his
name on a list from the Camapaign
Finance Board website.
After looks of confusion dissolved
from the faces of both candidates
and audience members, the unexpected candidate was allowed on
stage and the forum was underway.
The event, hosted by the New
American Voters Association and
attended by residents throughout
Council District 23, was held to introduce voters to the eight candidates bidding for former Councilman Mark Weprin’s seat. All but
attorney Ali Najmi and former de
Blasio aide, Rebecca Lynch were in
attendance.
The conversation was cordial,
many of the potential Council members agreed on issues of overcrowded schools, uneven sidewalks
caused by trees and the need to improve blighted libraries.
“My philosophy is that we cannot
leave anyone behind,” said Barry
Grodechik, former deputy borough
president and assemblyman.
Grodenchik’s campaign began
early – he was the first to announce
– and has received endorsements
from Weprin, Borough President
Melinda Katz, the Fire Department
and others. Considered a household
name among Queens elected officials, a couple of candidates called
into question whether or not Grodenchik is too close to the de Blasio administration and other political bosses. The Hollis Hills resident rejected
those concerns.
“I don’t work for the mayor; I’ve
never worked for the mayor. I worked
for our wonderful Borough President
Melinda Katz as her deputy borough
president,” he said. “I have worked
my entire life to bring people together; that is what Queens is about. This
Foubister did mention Friedrich
was part of the reason he entered
the race.
“I thought that if this guy could do
it, then I’m definitely going to run,” he
said.
Foubister said the two have a
tumultuous relationship which resulted in a $10 million lawsuit filed
by Friedrich alleging Foubister was
spreading lies about him on social
media. When pressed by reporters,
he said his campaign announcement
was not to get back at Friedrich and
that the Glen Oaks civic leader told
him he would drop the suit.
Perhaps the breakout candidate
on Tuesday night was 25-year-old
Celia Dosamantes, who said she
prides herself on running a “truly
grassroots campaign.” Dosamantes
received rounds of applause after
every question she answered, especially when it came to the so-called
Tale of Two Cities – a reference
coined by the de Blasio campaign
that she has since applied to District
23.
“The lower half of the district, especially in Queens Village is often ignored,” she said. “There are potholes
everywhere and, as Bob [Friedrich]
pointed out, a juvenile facility being
placed there. It is the Tale of Two
Cities. It is not fair to have one part
of the district clean and put together
while another is falling apart.”
New American Voters Association
did not endorse any candidate after
the forum, as it is a bipartisan group,
but candidates were invited to seek
out the endorsements of individual
members.
Najmi, Friedrich, Lynch, Grodenchik, Dosamantes, Pahar and Fousbister will face off in the Democratic
primary scheduled for Sept. 10.
“It’s the day before September 11,
so we know it’s going to be a low voter turnout,” Friedrich said. “We need
you to get out and vote though.”
NYSNA: Caring for ALL New Yorkers
Flushing Hospital Medical Center Nurses Are Here For You!
At Flushing and throughout our state, nurses are uniting to improve care for our patients.
We’re working together to end healthcare inequality and to raise standards so that every
New Yorker has access to quality care. Through our union, the New York State Nurses
Association, we’re creating a better future for nurses and our patients:
¨ Safe RN Staffing. Having enough nurses at the bedside is key to safe patient care.
In our union contracts and in the legislature, we’re working to ensure that every
patient has access to the care of a nurse whenever they need it.
¨ Community Voices. We believe that our communities should have a voice in
decisions that impact their access to care. Healthcare decisions should be based on
community needs, not on the bottom line. That’s why we’re advocating to strengthen
community voices in care.
¨ Quality Care for ALL. Every patient deserves equal access to quality care
regardless of income, borough, or insurance coverage. We’re working with fellow
healthcare unions, patients, community leaders, and elected allies to stop the
devastating tide of hospital cuts and closures in underserved communities.

QCulture Night Life:
A New Place For Laughs In Long Island City
By Crystal lau
A new comedy venue has taken
residence on Vernon Boulevard at
Hunter’s Point where the former
Laughing Devil Comedy Club once
stood. The Standing Room, located
at 47-38 Vernon Blvd. in Long Island
City, is now up and running and offering a variety of specialty cocktails,
local and microbrewed beer, music,
comedy and more to the locals in the
area.
The Standing Room comes from
the same team that created The
Stand Restaurant and Comedy Club
in Manhattan— Patrick Milligan, Cris
Italia, Paul Italia and David Kimowitz,
The team hopes to lure bigger
name comedians that often perform
at clubs in Manhattan, but they will
also allow the new club to evolve at its
own pace and develop its own vibe.
“It’s a smaller, more intimate room
than the club in Gramercy,” explained
Milligan. “This gives us a chance to
try things that are different, even experimental, while also tapping into the
incredible talent pool we already work
with.”
Comedy programming on weekends and select weeknights previously
offered by The Laughing Devil will continue to be offered by the location’s new
occupant. “But we’re going to be more
than that,” says co-owner Paul Italia, “I
used to live here and I’ve watched the
neighborhood grow and evolve over
the last decade. This is a terrific community and we want to provide people
here with a great night out, whether
that’s enjoying a comedy show or just
relaxing with a good drink. We have
a menu of unique cocktails and local
beers, we’re partnering with local restaurants to offer special desserts and
small bites, and we have projectors to
broadcast the game or present screenings. And, of course, great comedy.”
As it is entering its soft launch
phase, The Standing Room is offering
plenty of great night-life enticements
for the Western Queens community to
stop by their newly renovated lounge

Local Drama Group Performs Footloose
By Franco Fino
A local Queens teen drama group
will kick off its annual musical production this upcoming August. The
Holy Child Jesus Teen Drama Group
is presenting ‘Footloose the Musical,’
a production popularized by Kevin
Bacon in the 1984 dramatic film.
The musical is about an upbeat
Chicago teen who moves to a small
suburban town where dancing and rock
music have been banned.
“Teen drama always provides a
unique experience for teens - they are
able to explore talents they may not
have even known they had! That really comes to fruition in ‘Footloose’,
a timeless story of digging deep into
your heart to be who you want to be,
and fight for what is right, even if you’re
standing alone,” said Director and
Choreographer Christine Breviario.
“It’s a battle cry for teens to stand up
and be counted - a story they can truly
relate to. We are privileged to have so
many incredible young people working
on this show, and ‘cutting loose’ on the
dance floor for another exciting sum-

Musical” in August.
derella,” “The Music Man,” “Anything
Goes,” “Bye-Bye Birdie,” and “Shrek the
Musical.” The organized youth group
continues to provide more than a hundred teens with activity for five nights a
week, as “teens learn to work together,
perfect their skills, socialize with others who have shared interests, build
self-esteem, and most importantly,
become part of something bigger than
themselves”.
The cast will feature local teen talents: Zach Bravo as Ren McCormack,

Carol Sudhalter is hosting a house concert on Sunday in Astoria.
By yvette Brown
Staff Writer
Everyone enjoys good music and a
good concert, and now house concerts
– concerts held in homes or apartments
or other spaces smaller than a typical
venue – are becoming a new trend. On
July 26 at 2 p.m., there will be a house
concert that will take place in a live
recording studio in Astoria. While the
location is not disclosed due to limited
seating, the concerts take place once a
month and the coordinated by Carol
Sudhalter.
Sudhalter is a part of a band where
she plays the tenor saxophone and the
flute. The band also includes Patrick
Poladian on the piano, Shawn Lovato
on the bass and Doug Richardson on
the drums. This Sunday, the band will
include a special guest appearance by
Ron Horton on the trumpet. Suggested
donations are $20, which goes to the
band. The audience for the concert has
been limited to about 15 people since it is
taking place in a live recording studio.
The series of house concerts that
Sudhalter has been involved with
started about three years ago and have
been done in many different locations
such as Pittsburgh in Highland Park,
Little Neck, Massapequa as well as
in England and Italy. The interesting
thing about the series is that Sudhalter
allows different communities to host
some of these concerts at their house
or apartment.
Sudhalter said although the pay she
receives from the concert isn’t at great,
due to the fact that she only gets paid
based on the number of people that
show up, she loves what she does because
people pay attention to her music.
“[The audience] listens extremely
intently, so it’s the most wonderful
vibe and you feel so satisfied because
you get this kind of energy back and
forth between you, the performer, and
every single person that’s there,” said
Sudhalter.
Sudhalter encourages people to
reach out to her in the event one may
want to host a concert or attend one of
her concerts. For more information,
contact Sudhalter at sudsaxter@gmail.
com or call her at (917)667-5331.

Mets’ Piazza Doesn’t Make The Cut At Cooperstown
By DaviD Russell
The Baseball Hall of Fame will
welcome the Class of 2015 this
weekend, but Mike Piazza will not
be among them. The former Met,
who hit more home runs as a catcher
than anyone else in history, failed
to receive enough votes in his third
year on the ballot.
“It makes no sense,” said Peter
Golenbock, author of Amazin’: The
Miraculous History of New York’s Most
Beloved Baseball Team. “He should
have been a first ballot Hall of Famer.”
Piazza finished his career with
427 home runs, with a record 396 as
a catcher.
“He was the greatest offensive
catcher,” said Desi Relaford who joined
the Mets in 2001 after five seasons with
the Phillies. “With a bat in his hand
there aren’t many on his level.”
Piazza had a reputation for being surly, which may have hurt his
chances with a few sportswriters
who vote for the Hall of Fame.
“He’s secretly funny, but pretty
private, which is understandable,”
Relaford said. “As a teammate, I
could see why megastars are standoffish. You get bombarded for pictures and autographs while you have
a mouthful of steak. ‘I
hate to bother you but
can I bother you?’ I see
why they kind of get a
bum rap but he’s a really
good dude.”
After being drafted
in the 62nd round of the
1988 draft, the slugger
started his career for the
Dodgers in 1992. Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was a close friend
of Piazza’s father which

star, winning Rookie of
the Year in 1993 and leading Los An- Fall Classic since 1986. Piazza finished
third in the MVP voting, hitting .324
geles to two playoff appearances.
In 1998, the Dodgers traded him with 38 homers and 113 RBI.
Unfortunately for Piazza, the

Mets returned to the World Series in the Subway Series in five games with
2000, the team’s first appearance in the Piazza making the last out.
The iconic moment for Piazza
is his home run at Shea Stadium in
the first game in New York City after 9/11. With Atlanta leading 2-1 in
the bottom of the eighth, Piazza hit a
two-run homer.
“I get goose bumps just thinking
about it,” said Relaford, who was on
first base a pinch-runner for Edgardo Alfonzo. “Everyone was pulling
for the Mets. It was Mike Piazza style
to come up with the game on the line
and produce.”
Although there is no hard evidence that he did anything wrong,
rumors of steroid use have hurt Piazza. Many of baseball’s best players
from the late-1990s and early-2000s
have failed to gain entry into Cooperstown due to the controversy.
Whether he did or not shouldn’t
matter according to Golenbock.
“I would think that he will get
in eventually. Just like I think Barry
Bonds will get in and Mark McGwire
and Roger Clemens will get in. You
don’t have much of a Hall of Fame
without them.”
Piazza left the Mets after the 2005
season and played with the Padres
and A’s for a season before retiring
after 2007. He joined the Mets Hall
of Fame in 2013.
Russell Simmons Helps Promote Peace With Local Basketball Game
By CaRmine CaRCieRi
Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons
and Rush Card joined LIFE Camp
and the NYPD for the annual Keep
the Peace program, which included
a basketball game, mediation and a
motivational talk at MS 72 in Rochdale on Thursday afternoon.
Rush Card’s Keep the Peace program supports non-profit community organizations across the country and they have developed great
models for reducing violence in target neighborhood. Their initiative,
which includes upcoming projects
in New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Chicago and Baltimore, is expected to have a strong
impact in Queens.
“The peacekeepers are putting
brothers and sisters on the streets in
all orange,” Erica Ford, the President
of LIFE Camp, said. “We use the orange for peace and were just tired of
seeing red, the blood of our children,
on the streets.”
“Just their [peacekeepers]
