City Abruptly Closes Lot Next To Borough Hall
By Luis Gronda
Staff Writer
The City abruptly closed down a
parking lot near Queens Borough Hall
last week, leaving Queens elected officials wondering why they were not
informed of the decision.
Last Tuesday, the Dept. of Transportation sent out an email announcing that it was planning to close the
Queens Boro Hall Municipal Garage
and Parking Field beginning the next
day, Sept. 24, for safety reasons.
“We will continue to work with the
local community to help address its
parking needs, and Traffic Enforcement Agents have been assigned to
the area…” the transit agency wrote in
the email.
The DOT ordered the parking lot
to close because it needed a renovation due to its deteriorating condition. According to Dept. of Buildings
records, the lot has 20 violations still
open, dating from 1986 until 2013.
The latest one, dated Sept. 7, 2013, was
for “failure to maintain building in
compliant manner” including
several cracks at all three levels
of the lot. The violation is still
open as of press time.
Councilmember Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) said
there was no warning that about
500 parking spots would be taken away from that area.
Koslowitz said the lot closure

City is working on a long-term solution for the parking lot, but in the
short-term, they are discussing how to
further alleviate the parking situation
in that area.
Among the ideas discussed, according to Katz, is opening up space in a
nearby park for vehicles and then running a shuttle bus to the court house
or Borough Hall so residents can get
to where they need to be.
A DOT spokesperson said the
agency surveyed the area and determined that surrounding facilities can
accommodate the lost parking from
closing the lot.
“DOT will continue to monitor
the area and address conditions as
necessary and we encourage users to
consider utilizing buses, subways, or
other parking facilities to meet their
travel needs,” the agency said in a
statement.
The exact timeline for demolishing the garage has not yet been determined, DOT said.

Mayor Commits To Massive
Peralta Wants Revamped
Greenhouse Reduction
By JoE MarViLLi
Staff Writer
New York City is set to become a
much greener place.
On Sept. 21, the same day that
hundreds of thousands of people
marched through Manhattan against
climate change, Mayor Bill de Blasio
committed to reducing the City’s
greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent over 2005 levels by 2050. New
York City is now the largest City in
the world to commit to such a large
reduction.
Titled “One City, Built to Last:
Transforming New York City’s
Buildings for a Low-Carbon Future,”
the plan will retrofit buildings to reduce the City’s greenhouse gases.
Buildings are one of the largest
energy consumers in the City, with
nearly three-quarters of the City’s
emissions coming from energy used
to heat, cool and power buildings.
According to the Mayor, every cityowned building with significant energy use will be retrofitted within the
next 10 years.
As for privately-owned buildings,
the City is setting up interim targets
with incentives to encourage retrofits, potentially followed by mandates.
To hit its goal, the City must cut
energy use across all building sectors
by an average of 60 percent and switch
to renewable sources. Remaining reductions would be achieved through
cutting waste emissions and cleaning
the City’s power supply. These goals
will be addressed in Spring 2015.
The City will dedicate $1 billion
towards the overall plan for municipal building upgrades.
Greenhouse gas emissions are
expected to decrease by 3.4 million
metric tons a year by 2025. The savings created by this reduction across
the public and private sectors will
reach more than $1.4 billion a year
by 2025. About 3,500 new jobs are
estimated to be created by this plan.
About a week after he unveiled
“One City, Built To Last,” Mayor de
Blasio announced a major investment in solar power at the City’s
schools, adding 24 installations. The
installations will be funded by the
City and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s NYSun Initiative. The 6.25 megawatts of
planned solar power would reduce
emissions by more than 2,800 metric
tons a year.
“To achieve such a large reduction
will require nearly every space to be
made energy-efficient. Another way
to achieve a reduction of greenhouse
gas emissions is to increase availability of sustainable energy sources,”
Queens College Professor George
Hendrey said about the plan. “These
goals can be met from an engineering
perspective, but the application is one
of political will.”

Street Vendor Panel
By JackiE strawBridGE
Staff Writer
One Queens official wants to rewrite a smorgasbord of rules and regulations into a clear menu.
State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East
Elmhurst) has called on the City to
revive its Street Vendor Review Panel and to reassess the regulations to
which street vendors are subject.
The now-defunct Street Vendor
Review Panel, created under former
Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1995, existed
primarily to decide where street vending should be restricted. The panel has
not met since 2001.
“Street vendors are established fixtures in many neighborhoods and critical parts of the fabric of many communities,” Peralta wrote in late September
in a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Under the current system, however, street
vendors are forced to overcome significant obstacles not faced by their brickand-mortar counterparts.”
These obstacles, according to Peralta, include caps on food cart permits
that create a black market, confusing
zoning regulations that create street
congestion and over-fining street vendors for minor infractions.
Diane Macari ran a realty office until last year in an area of Roosevelt Avenue congested with street vendors.
“There’s trucks on the side. They
take up all the parking spaces, they’re
there from early morning to late at
night, they have propane tanks that
are scary,” Macari said. “When I was
there, it was three in front of my office
every day.”
“A new Street Vendor Review
Panel with a broad, holistic mandate
and representatives of street vendors,
business owners and community interests is the right entity to study these
issues,” Peralta said.
Sean Basinski, director of street
vendor advocacy group the Street
Vendor Project, said, “permits are
what we’ve been clamoring for, begging and pleading for.”
To run a food cart, street vendors
need a food vendor license and a permit for their cart. The City caps cart
permits at about 3,000, according to
Peralta’s office.
Claudia Lopez said she has been
street vending for more than two decades. She sells peanuts, churros, popcorn and drinks on Roosevelt Avenue.
Lopez said she mainly struggles
with working on sidewalks that are too
small to accommodate vendors at the
required distance from storefronts.
When handing out fines for this kind
of violation, police say it is only a “small
problem” that can “easily be fixed,” Lopez explained in Spanish. “It’s the only
thing they know how to say.”

Deadline Extended To File Pinnacle Claims
By Jackie StrawBridge
Staff Writer
New Yorkers who live or have lived
in apartments owned by the Pinnacle
Group may have some money coming
their way – and they now have more
time to claim it.
Due to a settlement agreement
reached in a 2007 suit against the realty group, some tenants who lived in
a Pinnacle building between July 11,
2004 and April 27, 2010 may collect
compensation if they were subjected to
rent overcharges and/or harassment.
The deadline to file claims against Pinnacle – originally set at Oct. 27 – has
been extended to Dec. 31.
Legal Services NYC and the Legal
Aid Society have established a Pinnacle Legal Assistance Helpline to provide free support in understanding the
terms of the settlement agreement and
filing claims, which can be reached at
(888) 736-8115, and which Pinnacle is
operating.
Pinnacle was accused of committing conspiratorial acts to remove
tenants in rent-regulated apartments
in order to hike rents. A Pinnacle
spokesperson said the group denied
wrongdoing and settled to avoid the
cost of a trial.
“[Pinnacle] agreed to participate in
an informal process to address inadvertent errors which any large organization is likely to have had, and to
establish a helpline which will allow
us to track and respond to tenant concerns even more efficiently and effectively,” the spokesperson continued.
According to Legal Services NYC
and the Legal Aid Society, the deadline to file claims with Pinnacle was
extended “due to Pinnacle’s failure to
provide information necessary for effective outreach regarding the settlement.”
“Pinnacle has complied with every
provision of the Formal Settlement
Agreement,” a Pinnacle spokesperson
responded. “The tenant representatives wanted to extend the outreach by
involving elected officials and community groups, although not provided for
in the agreement itself. It took a little
while to straighten that out.”
The settlement could affect more
than 30,000 tenants across 550 buildings Citywide. There are about 100
Pinnacle apartment buildings in
Queens.
“We are hopeful that Pinnacle will
fully comply with the terms of the
settlement and responsibly operate
the hotline. Not doing so will subject
them to penalties,” Magda Rosa-Rios,
a supervising attorney with the Legal
Aid Society, said.
As part of the settlement agreement, Pinnacle has agreed to a set of
new rules regarding rent increases,
bringing eviction cases and responding to apartment repair requests. Cur-
rent Pinnacle tenants who believe they
have experienced violations of these
new rules must make claims within 60
days of the violation.
These rules can be found online at
rentlitigation.com.
Legal Services NYC and the Legal
Aid Society are urging tenants who
believe they may be eligible for compensation to call the Pinnacle helpline
as well as to obtain their rent history
from the Division of Homes and Community Renewal at (718) 739-6400
and to gather relevant documents,
consider repairs needed in the apartment and consider harassment in the
apartment, from 2004 to 2010.
Scarborough Arrested
Another Queens
official is facing corruption charges.
Assemblyman
William Scarborough
(D-Jamaica) was arrested Wednesday
morning as part of an
ongoing government
corruption
probe
conducted by State
Attorney
General
Eric Schneiderman.
According to reports, Scarborough was arraigned
in Albany court on Wednesday and
pleaded not guilty to more than 20
counts of corruption. The assemblyman was also reportedly hit with 11
federal charges related to allegations
of misuse of state
travel expenses.
Scarborough
has been accused of
taking more than
$35,000 in campaign
funds since 2007, and
placing it into his personal bank account
without reporting it
to the Board of Elections.
Investigators had
raided his home in
Jamaica and a hotel room the Assemblyman uses in Albany in March
of this year, reportedly looking for
information about whether he had
abused his reimbursement claims for
travel expenses.
When It Comes to Cancer Screening,
It’s Time to Start Using Your Head (and Neck)
Head and neck cancers affect the tongue, mouth, lips,
throat, voice box, nose, salivary glands and thyroid.
This year, more than 55,000 people will develop new
cases of head and neck cancers.
Are you at risk?
You might discover early indications of head and neck
cancer, such as sores, pain, lumps or red/dark patches
in your mouth, but the best way to determine your risk
is to be screened by a doctor.

Tech-Enhanced Senior Center Opens In Flushing
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
A new senior center in Flushing
features not only affordable housing
for those in their later years, but also
contains top-of-the-line technology to
keep them in the loop.
Selfhelp K-VII, a 92-unit affordable senior housing residence, held
its ceremonial opening last week. Located at 137-39 45th Ave., the 14-story
development goes beyond the average
retirement community. Its Virtual Senior Center lets everyone at the center
stay involved, even if they are unable
to make it to the actual events.
K-VII is Selfhelp’s ninth affordable housing building. The building’s
92 units were filled through a housing
lottery with a requirement that one
member of the household is 62 years
old or up. Eighty percent of the apartments are affordable to seniors earning less than 60 percent of the Area
Median Income, or no more than
$23,240 annually per individual. The
other 20 percent of units were dedicated to seniors earning less than 40
percent of the AMI, or no more than
$34,860 annually.
Besides its affordability, the highlight of the residence is the Virtual
Senior Center. Selfhelp launched the
VSC in 2010, with the support of the
Dept. of the Aging, the Dept. of Infor-
mation Technology & Telecommunications and Microsoft. It is an interactive program built to enhance the
lives of homebound seniors. With this
technology, residents can take part
in wellness classes, financial management courses, computer training, support groups and current events discussions from their own rooms. Seniors
can also use the equipment to chat
with relatives and friends.
In the past, this technology has allowed seniors to take part in live events
and discussions from the Guggenheim
Museum, the Museum of Modern Art,
the New York Historical Society and
the New York Hall of Science.
All of the units in the development
are computer-ready and integrated
with energy efficient lighting systems.
They feature roll-in showers and have
the ability to hook up sensors that
monitor activities of daily living. A
social worker in the building is also
available to help residents take advantage of the full range of technology
available to them.
The community room is equipped
with video chat-enabled computer
workstations, cognitive strengthening
units, exercise equipment and health
screening kiosks.
“This project gave Selfhelp the opportunity to incorporate the most upto-date technology in the design of this
building,” Stuart Kaplan, CEO of Self-

opened in Flushing.
help Community Services, said. “We
pioneered significant advances in the
monitoring and social integration of
our residents with their surroundings
and their neighbors while additionally
making all the units computer-ready.”
In terms of its environmental
friendliness, the new senior residence
has a waste management plan that diverts 25 percent of its debris from the
landfill. Its roofing material meets Energy Star standards. There is motionsensor lighting in all areas with low or
infrequent occupancy, as well as timers for exterior lighting.
Selfhelp K-VII had a total development cost of $26.1 million. To help
with the price tag, it received fixedrate tax-exempt bonds issued by the
Housing Development Corporation
under its Low-Income Affordable
Marketplace Program, with credit
enhancement provided by JPMorgan
Chase during construction. The taxexempt bonds were used to the $13
million senior mortgage and provide a
$5.98 million second subordinate loan
funded through the Corporation’s reserves.
“Our city has a critical need for
more affordable housing, especially
for senior citizens, and I applaud this
partnership of public, private and
nonprofit organizations for finding innovative, modern and energy-efficient
ways to address the crisis,” State Sen.
Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) said at
the ribbon-cutting. “I am pleased to
welcome this new facility to Flushing
and hope to attend many more grand
openings in the future.”
Selfhelp will also open the 9,000square-foot Charles B. Wang Health
and Wellness Center next year. This
wing will bring medical services to the
area, promoting health and wellness.

Queens’ Party Problems
Make Progress On Affordabilty
To The Editor:
n a petty and vindictive
move, Boss Joe Crowley
Queens County Democratic Chairman arranged for
former New York City Comptroller John Liu to oppose
incumbent State Senator Tony
Avella (D-Bayside) in a primary for the 11th State Senatorial
District. This was unjustified
because Avella was known for
his attention to the welfare of
his constituents and not as an
errand boy for the fat cat real
estate moguls who for too long
There seems to be a continued disconnect on what this City needs in terms of affordable housing, and with each new development that is planned, that disconnect
seems to grow. While many City officials seem to be patting themselves on the back
over the approval of the Astoria Cove project, with 20 percent of its units planned
to be marked as “affordable,” they seem to either not understand or not care that
this decision does little to alleviate the lack of housing that residents of this City can
ostensibly afford.
The Astoria Cove project proposes to create about 1,700 residential units, with
about 340 of those set to be below market rate. Community Board 1 recommended
to oppose the project earlier this summer due to a lack of affordable units. Borough
President Melinda Katz followed suit. Unfortunately, those recommendations are
not binding, and the City Planning Commission voted earlier this week to give the
proposal the go-ahead.
While Mayor Bill de Blasio’s staff called the City Planning Commission vote a
“game-changer” when it comes to development, it seems more like business as usual
and a ghost from a previous administration that appeared to care little about the
working class of this City.
When de Blasio took office, along with a new class of City Council members, the
new administration was touted as having a more progressive vision for the City
than it had experienced over the previous 12 years. This is the time to prove it. The
Astoria Cove proposal now moves to the City Council, the final stop for any changes
that need to be made.
We hope that the City Council lives up to its promise of a more progressive New
York City by pushing for changes to the proposal that will increase affordable housing units at Astoria Cove. Doing that will send a message to developers in the City
that this is a priority.

Climate Change Deniers Are Wrong
I
To The Editor:
’m never surprised by the
ignorance of GOP supporters. But congratulations
are in order for all the climate
change deniers whose letters
reach new heights in blind
stupidity! All their mindless
opinions will never distract us
from the “FACT” that climate
change exists. Yes, they may be
right that it used to be referred
to as “global warming.” But
thanks to politicians beholden
to “Big Oil” and the uneducated
that watch FOX or read the
POST, scientists (you know,
the people who use statistics
and analyze facts to determine
reality) needed to modify the
heading.
The FACTS are, 1: the planet
is warming and most of this
warming has occurred since the
1970s, with the 20 warmest years
having occurred since 1981
and with all 10 of the warmest
years occurring in the past 12
years. 2: Glaciers are retreating
everywhere around the world
— including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska
and Africa. 3: The Greenland
and Antarctic ice sheets have
decreased in mass. 4: Global sea
level rose almost seven inches
in the last century. The rate in
just the last 10 years, however,
is double that! It’s a good thing
that rising temperatures, rising
ocean waters, rising occurrences
of drought in some areas and
rising flood waters in others are
equalized by the diminishing
intelligence of people who watch
FOX and read the POST. The
argument over climate change
is not a game to be won or lost.
It truly is “A Matter of Survival.”
Ninety-seven percent of climate
scientists agree that climatewarming trends over the past
century are very likely due to
human activities, and most of
the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued
public statements endorsing
this position. The other three
percent must belong to the “Flat
Earth Society” (it really exists).
“Just a fact.”

Parents must get involved

LaGuardia Wins
‘First In The World’
Grant
BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE
Staff Writer
LaGuardia Community College in
Long Island City will receive federal
funds to support its low income and
minority students.
On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Charles
Schumer (D-New York) and U.S. Sen.
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) announced $2,908,031 for the college
allocated through the U.S. Dept. of
Education’s “First in the World” Program, which provides grants to help
schools retain and graduate students
from underserved populations. Funds
will be used for LaGuardia’s “Project
Completa” program for low-income
and minority student success.
Specifically, the “Project Completa” money will go towards spotlighting pre-enrollment services for highrisk students and connecting students
with faculty in their majors for skill
development.
“This is such a great investment
for LaGuardia Community College,” Gillibrand said in a statement
released Tuesday. “Providing New
York’s students with the resources
and support needed to enroll and
complete college will help bridge the
gap for students – so they can reach
their full potential.”
More than 90 percent of the LaGuardia population are minority students, according to CUNY statistics.
More than 70 percent have an annual
family income under $25,000.
“Winning the ‘First in the World’
[grant competition] will give LaGuardia the resources we need to further
spur innovation at our campus, and
directly and powerfully help our students graduate so they can transform
their lives and their families’ lives,”
LaGuardia Community College president Dr. Gail Mellow said.
The funding is expected to support more than 25,000 students as
they enroll and work towards their
degrees.

Colignaro Discusses State Senate Campaign
By Luis Gronda
Staff Writer
The challenger to State Sen. Joe
Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) said he
has a passion to fight for the people of
the 15th Senate District and believes
he can bring a needed new voice to
Albany.
Michael Colignaro is the Republican challenger to the seat Addabbo
has held since 2009. The Rego Park
resident is looking to reclaim that position for the Republican Party, which
was held by Addabbo’s predecessor,
Serphin Maltese. The 15th Senate District encompasses much of southern
and central Queens, stretching from
the Rockaway Peninsula to parts of
Ridgewood and including areas like
Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Maspeth
and Middle Village.
Colignaro is an alumnus of St John’s
University and Queensborough Community College and manages a law firm
in Floral Park at the law offices of Peter
Cardalena, Jr. He obtained his law degree at Concord Law School, an online
law school based in California.
Last week, Colignaro sat down
with the Queens Tribune to discuss his
campaign and his opinions on several
issues affecting the district.
When asked why he decided to challenge Addabbo for the Senate seat, he
said the district needs stronger repre-

sentation in Albany than it has received
in the last six years. When asked to elaborate on that, Colignaro said there are
issues being pushed in New York State
affecting Queens that he would like to
have a voice on, including the proposed
homeless shelter in Glendale.
He said he is “completely opposed”
to building the shelter at that site and
there are better alternatives for that
property.
“The reason I’m opposed is because the spot where it’s supposed to
be placed could have use as either a
school or an industrial manufacturing
plant, one of the two,” Colignaro said.
He was noncommittal when asked
about the potential soccer stadium
that could be built at Aqueduct Racetrack, saying he would want to find
out what that facility would do to the
area, including whether it will affect
the property values of that neighborhood as well as how much traffic it
would bring during events.
“Until I would know how many
seats are in there and how many parking spots are in that lot and what other
type of venues they would like to have
in there besides the soccer stadium,
like concerts, I would want to know
those types of numbers before I would
say if I’m for it or against it,” Colignaro said.
Concerning the continued rebuilding of areas affected by Superstorm
Sandy, he said Build it Back should
have case managers handling people’s
individual problems and situations regarding their home, a point he echoed
while speaking at the Howard BeachLindenwood Civic Association on
Tuesday.
He also said that Dept. of Environmental Protection and Dept. of
Transportation should make sure to
fix sewers and fire hydrants in commercial areas because some in Sandyaffected neighborhoods are still not
operational.
Regarding the Woodhaven col-
lapsed building at 78-19 Jamaica Ave.,
Colignaro said he would be standing
outside the building, making sure
the owner does what he needs to do,
whether it is renovating the building
or demolishing it completely.
“We don’t want to have situations,
like we’ve unfortunately had in the
past, where a building collapses and
people die and then things get done,”
he said.
According to Colignaro, the issues
he will focus on in his campaign include addressing quality of life in the
district’s neighborhoods and using discretionary funds towards opening more
senior centers in the district and funding more civic organizations as well.
When asked how he can win this
race, Colignaro touted himself as a
“citizen candidate” and that he would
be able to get more things done for the
district as a majority member in the
New York State Senate.
“My main message for the voters is,
I’m doing this because I believe I have
what it takes to make people’s lives
better,” he said. “To let them know
that there’s someone who will fight
for them in Albany, not just some who
will say ‘yeah, come into the office.
We’ll take care of it,’ and it does not
get done.”

Queens Kids
Learn Rugby
From
The
Pros
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
Outside of a Corona high school
on Tuesday, students were out on
a concrete field, tossing a leather
ball around and dodging their opponents’ attempts to stop them.
These kids were not playing a
game of pick-up football though.
They were playing rugby.
On Sept. 30, HSBC Rugby Festivals made its first-ever stop in
Queens for rugby training sessions
with students from the Civic Leadership Academy, located at 45-10
94th St. Since the school already
has its own rugby team, Tuesday’s
quick camps offered a chance for
kids to play the same game as
their classmates.
This collaboration with Play
Rugby USA and Serevi Rugby took
the opportunity to teach students
the basics of the sport, which has
been growing in popularity in the
U.S. over the last several years.
Universities and colleges are adding rugby programs and scholarships, giving high school students
another path to higher education.
Besides those advantages though,
rugby is a sport that fosters a
strong sense of community.
“It’s a really unique culture that
I haven’t seen around many other
sports. You can go anywhere and
rugby players are friends,” Jaime
Quick, a representative of Serevi Rugby, said. “It’s also the only
sport where boys and girls play by
the same exact rules. It’s really empowering for young women.”
Civic Leadership Academy was
one of three stops that the group
made between Monday and Tuesday. They made an appearance
in Harlem on Monday and then
wrapped up Tuesday with a session
at Energy Tech High School in Astoria. Between the two days, the group
worked with about 1,800 kids.
This is not the first time Civic
Leadership Academy has been
involved with rugby though. The
school recently started its own
rugby team, with the help of Play
Rugby USA. Due to the lack of facilities to support traditional Public
Schools Athletic League sports,
Principal Phuong Nguyen looked
into other options, including rugby.
“We were looking at alternative
options and I think that my music
teacher had reached out to Rugby
USA. We had them come in and do
a flag-rugby team with boys and
girls,” she said. “The response was
so overwhelming that we decided
to move forward with PSAL.”

Civic Leadership Academy students listen to Rugby Hall of Famer
Waisale Serevi at a training session on Sept. 30.
For those students who play rugby at Civic Leadership Academy,
Nguyen has noticed a transformative effect. The sport has boosted
confidence across the board, particularly for the female students. In
just one year, rugby has become
part of the DNA of the school.
“It’s become part of our school.
It’s become part of our identity,” the
principal said.
Several well-known rugby players and coaches were on hand to
teach the kids in their exercises
and activities. Rugby Hall of Famer
Waisale Serevi, U.S. Rugby player Carlin Isles, U.S. Rugby head
coach Mike Tolkin, former U.S.
Rugby player Phaidra Knight and
others taught the kids some of the
pillars of rugby, a sport based on
leadership, confidence, decisionmaking and team play.
According to Quick, rugby is a
sport that requires every player to
be able to jump, kick, pass and run.
There are no specialized roles. Although it is a contact sport, rugby
uses a shoulder tackle that protects
a player’s head and neck, unlike
football. In another difference from
football, getting hit is not a guaranteed outcome. The best players,
like Serevi, evade.
Serevi said he was impressed
by the students’ enthusiasm and
drive during the sessions.
“They’re good kids, they really
learned a lot. They’re so energetic,”
he said. “That’s what rugby is all
about, having fun.”
Isles, who is known as “The
Fastest Man in Rugby,” said that
he and the other coaches tried to
teach these kids playing the sport
for the first time to open themselves
to a new experience.
“Just open up their mind to
something new, to something different that might change their
lives,” he said. “If you work hard
and you really want something
and you put your heart into something, you can achieve anything
you want to do.”

Astoria Cove Passes City Planning Commission
Astoria Cove got a green light
from the City Planning Commission
on Monday.
The nearly nineacre Astoria Cove
development proposal
includes about 1,700
residential units and
54,000 square feet of
retail space, as well
as waterfront access,
a supermarket and
an elementary school. Ten of the 13
commissioners voted in favor of the
developers’ application to rezone the
site of the proposed development
from manufacturing to residential.
One commissioner granted partial
approval and two abstained.
“We believe it is a decision that
heralds the dawn of a new era in
equitable development in New York
City,” the developers said in a statement released after the City Planning vote. “As developers, we look
forward to Astoria Cove being the
standard by which future development projects will be evaluated.”
Astoria Cove is being viewed as a
litmus test for the future of affordable
housing under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The zoning resolution mandates
that 20 percent of the residential
units be rented at below market rate,

Queens Store is the Gold Standard of Pawn Shops
By Luis Gronda
Staff Writer
Gold Standard pawn shop prides
itself as a higher-end establishment.
With four locations in Queens, the
store has established itself as one
of the main players in the pawnshop
industry. They have locations in Forest Hills, Elmhurst, Astoria and Floral
Park, as well as four other stores on
Long Island.
Among the items they sell and
loan are jewelry made out of gold
and silver, high-end watches such as
Rolex, musical instruments and even
gold teeth.
They also take in items on collateral loan, which is when someone loans an item to a pawnshop in
exchange for money and the store
keeps it for a certain amount of
time.
Scott Simon, one of the co-own-
ers of Gold Standard, explained how
they do their loans and discussed
the business itself in an interview
with the Queens Tribune.
He said they hold an item they
take in on loan for a maximum of four
months. After that time has passed,
there is a 30-day grace period where
the customer may still get back their
possession. Simon said there are
circumstances where someone cannot retrieve their item for various reasons, which is why they allow them
that extra time.
After that, the store is free to sell
the item to another customer if they
chose to do so.
Simon said they want to shy away
from the stereotypical image of a
pawn shop, which he described as
“seedy” and “dirty.”
“We want to be a place where
people can feel comfortable,” Simon
said.
Some memorable items that they
have bought and
sold, he said, include an eight-karat
diamond ring, which
he says is sold for a
lot of money, but is
cheaper than if you
went to a jewelry
store.
“It’s
amazing
what a little rock like
that costs,” Simon
said.
Gold Standard has four locations in Queens including its two main
branches in Forest Hills and Elmhurst.
The television show, “Pawn Stars”
has brought more light to the pawn
industry and while it is very much
dramatized for the small screen,
Simon said he is glad it has gotten
popular.
“It has given our industry some
credibility,” he said.
Simon said they see Gold Standard among the lines of a store like
the one featured in “Pawn Stars”
and they have been able to achieve
that through their solid customer
base, many of which have become
regulars through word of mouth. The
show has also driven people to visit
pawn shops like theirs, he said.
Simon said he encourages people
to visit pawn shops like Gold Standard because you can get much better prices on items available at their
store.
“It’s shocking the deals you can
get at a pawn shop compared to a
jewelry store,” he said.

Ridgewood Coffee Shop Owners To Open Bar
By Luis Gronda
Staff Writer
The owners of a popular Ridgewood coffee shop will soon open a
business that serves a different type
of beverage.
The business partners who run
Norma’s coffee shop will open a bar
next month called Julia’s. The bar,
which will also serve some meals,
will be located at 818 Woodward
Ave., between Putnam Avenue and
Cornelia Street.
The watering hole’s co-owner,
Crystal Williams, said the bar will
mostly sell craft beer made in New
York and the surrounding area, including Finback, Bridge and Tunnel and Transmitter, all of which are
brewed in Queens. They will also
sell wine and cheese, which are also
made in New York.
Williams said that for her and Denise Plowman, who co-owns Norma’s and is also part-owner of this
new business venture, opening a bar
was always a dream of theirs. After
the success that Norma’s has had, it
allowed them to pursue that goal.
She said they chose Ridgewood
to open the watering hole because
it is where they live and they have
a solid base of regular customers at
Norma’s they hope will translate to
the new place.
It is also convenient to for them,
Williams said, because when they
The owners of the popular ridgewood coffee shop norma’s will open a bar called Julia’s next month.
would want to organize a social gathering or business meeting, they would
often have to leave Ridgewood. That
will not be the case anymore.
“When we want to have a meeting, we don’t want to leave the neighborhood,” Williams said.
The bar is not yet officially open
for business, she said, but they had
a beer and food tasting last week as
an award to people who donated to
their Kickstarter campaign.
According to their Kickstarter page,
they raised $5,611 for the beer and
wine bar, with 103 people donating
money to the project. Three people
pledged $500 or more for the establishment and there were two different
prizes. One was to create a custom
beverage that would be named after that person and sold at Julia’s.
The other was an invitation to an indoor picnic featuring tapas, cheese
boards, lemonade and more.
Williams said they are still waiting to get the plumbing approved
by the Dept. of Buildings and they
hope to be open to the public within
the next two to three weeks.
She said the duo will split time
between the coffee shop and the
bar, but they also have employees
at Norma’s who have worked there
a long time and they feel comfortable
with leaving the coffee place in their
hands while they get the ball rolling
on Julia’s.
“We’re not going to sleep much,
that’s for sure,” Williams said.

Crowley
Announces Fresh
Pond Road
Revitalization
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) this week announced major developments in the
ongoing revitalization of Fresh Pond
Road in Ridgewood.
“Quality of life in our district remains one of my top priorities,” Crowley said. “I’m thrilled that the aggressive and proactive steps my office has
taken to improve conditions on Fresh
Pond Road are delivering real results
for the community.”
Following an increased number of
complaints regarding chronic cleanliness issues along Fresh Pond Road,
Crowley recently committed over
$68,000 in additional discretionary
funding to hire the DOE Fund’s “Men
in Blue” to clean Fresh Pond Road from
Myrtle to Metropolitan Avenues. The
cleaning crews will work in six hour
shifts, three days a week (Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday).
Also, on Sept. 12, the LIRR and DOT
completed its renovation of the site of
the former abandoned newsstand on
Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond
Road. The sidewalk has been extended
to cover the area where the abandoned
newsstand formerly stood. The LIRR
and DOT also provided a necessary
retaining wall on the south side of the
sidewalk topped with a fence, bollards
every six feet to prevent vehicle parking, and site drainage profiles.
Crowley will work with the DOT to
get benches and other street furniture
installed at the site.
Finally, the DOT’s art program, in
collaboration with the Queens Council
on the Arts and local Ridgewood artist
Andrea Bergart, unveiled a new mural
in Ridgewood over the weekend. The
mural – titled “Swish Swash” – is a
144’ x 6’ banner installed on fencing at
Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond
Road. Influenced by diverse visual traditions and geometric abstractions,
“Swish Swash” is a colorful display
which aims to brighten the corridor.
The artist, Andrea Bergart is a
Ridgewood-based artist who has exhibited in New York, California, Massa-
chusetts, Texas and Ghana, Africa. Her
paintings reference diverse visual traditions, including African textiles, urban
fashion and geometric abstraction.
DEP Makes $5M
Available For
Green Projects
City Dept. of Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd recently encouraged community groups,
nonprofits and property owners to apply for the more than $5 million in new
funding that the department is making
available for green projects through
the 2014 Green Infrastructure Grant
Program. DEP is engaged in a citywide
effort to soften the impervious urban
landscape to help absorb rainwater
that would otherwise drain into the
combined sewer system and contribute to combined sewer overflows into
local waterways. Through the grant
program, funding is provided for the
design and construction of projects,
such as green and blue roofs, rain gardens and permeable pavers, which will
reduce or manage a minimum of one
inch of stormwater that falls on the selected properties. Those wishing to apply for funding can review conceptual
ideas with DEP engineers prior to submitting their application, which must
be done by Nov. 13.
“New York City is a world leader
in protecting the natural environment and fighting climate change and
we encourage community groups and
non-profits from across the City to apply for the $5 million in new funding
we have made available to build green
infrastructure projects,” Lloyd said in
a statement.
The DEP will hold a workshop in
Queens to provide support in computing stormwater calculations and to review conceptual ideas with DEP engineers prior to submitting an application.
The workshop will take place from 2-5
p.m. Oct. 28 at DEP Headquarters, 5917 Junction Blvd., third floor cafeteria.

LEISURE
See ‘Night Watch’ At Theatre Time In Oct.
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
Theatre Time Productions
is returning to the stage this
October with a suspenseful
production meant to leave the
audience on the edge of their
seats.
Starting on Oct. 18, theater
fans can visit the Colonial
Church of Bayside for the latest
work from Theatre Time, an
adaptation of Lucille Fletcher’s
“Night Watch.” Directed by
Kevin Vincent, the show promises a psychological mystery
that will keep you guessing.
Judy Vincent said that she
and Kevin wanted to do the
play for some time, but they
were waiting until the right
stars aligned to put on the
performance.
“We just loved it and we
knew that we wanted to do it.
In 17 years, we never did. This
the theatre time cast of “night watch” is preparing
for opening night on Oct. 18.
is the first time we’re doing it,”
Judy said. “We wanted this actress, Mary Lynch. She’s the one
playing this woman [Elaine
Wheeler] with psychological
issues. We were looking to do
something like this for the fall
and she was available.”
Besides Lynch, the production also stars Rene Bendana,
Joanne Engfer, Frank Freeman, Jim Haines, Stephanie
Sittin’ Pretty
Just past the border of
Queens County, on the cusp
of Great Neck, is a wonderful new restaurant called
MoonStone. With a complete
renovation of the outside
landscaping and the beautiful modern interior, owner
Tommy Lee went above and
beyond in creating a home
for his culinary masterpiece.
I started my meal off with
a “Spicy Dragon” cocktail,
which consisted of tequila
infused with grapefruit juice
and jalapeno, garnished with
a citrus jalapeño salt. The
drink was sweet, spicy and
delicious, and was mixed
perfectly.
MoonStone goes out of
its way to express culinary
genius through three main
styles of Chinese cooking:
C a nt on e s e , Hu n a n a n d
Szechuan. My guest and I
decided to leave the ordering
to Tommy. As we sat back
and waited for our first dish
to arrive, the staff offered
their complimentary crispy
noodles with duck sauce and
spicy mustard. Soon after the
crispy noodles came a house
specialty, crab and sweet
corn soup. Unbeknownst to
Tommy, this is one of my
favorite Chinese soups. With
a dash of white pepper and
some crispy noodles to mix
in, the bowl was bone dry

before I knew it.
Following the soup, my
guest and I enjoyed some of
their Dim Sum, combined
with their salt and pepper
fried squid, and one of their
specialties, crawfish lettuce
wraps. The squid was fried to
a golden brown and seasoned
delicately. The lettuce wraps
stole the spotlight at this stage
of the meal. The crawfish was
combined with a vegetable
stir-fry and some crushed
pistachios, giving the wraps an
extra delicious crunch to them.
The wraps were served with a
hoisin sauce to drizzle over as
you popped each individual
wrap into your mouth.
As I finished the final sip of
my cocktail, I was inclined to
try another with our entrees.
Their “Ooh La La” martini
consisted of basil organic
vodka mixed with pineapple
and cucumber puree, finished off with baked apple
bitters. Just as I take my first
sip, the entrees are placed
on the table. Taiwanese fried
rice, lollipopped rack of lamb
and red prawn awaited our
taste buds. MoonStone’s style
of fried rice, served with a
special sweet sausage instead
of roast pork gave the dish its
own unique flavor. The red
prawns had an incredible
thin crispy layer to them as
they basked in a delectable
sweet and spicy sauce, surrounded by a generous portion of broccoli. The main
star of the evening, though,
was the rack of lamb, wokseared and finished off with
a merlot demi glaze. When
they were all gone, I was
salivating for more!
I was amazed with all the
different dishes that were
served to the guests dining.
I swear I never saw the same
dish go out twice, which is a
testament to the quality of
dishes.
With fair prices, a great
atmosphere, and incredible
food, this could possibly be
Great Neck’s new hot-spot!
–Eric Jordan
Lenna, Paul Robilotto, Cecilia
Vaicels and Michael Zurik.
Judy said that having such a
strong cast makes everything
run smoothly and enhances
the final piece.
“The main challenge is to
find the cast that can do the
script justice. We feel that we
have accomplished that for
every role in this play. It’s a
true ensemble cast,” she said.
“When you put together such
a strong cast, things just fall
into place.”
Audience members who attend opening night on Oct. 18
at 8 p.m. will have a chance to
meet the cast afterwards at the
opening night dessert party.
For “Night Watch,” Theatre
Time will feature in-the-round
seating, where the audience surrounds the stage and the actors.
This arrangement gives everyone in the crowd a close look at
the action during the show.
“That’s live theater at its
best. I don’t think there’s anything like that,” Judy said.
Judy added that the positive feedback Theatre Time
received for its in-the-round
performance of “12 Angry
Men” encouraged the Vincents
to adapt “Night Watch” in a
similar fashion.
You can see “Night Watch”
on Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26.
The performances on Friday
and Saturday start at 8 p.m.,
while Sundays’ shows start at
3 p.m. The Colonial Church
of Bayside is located at 54-02
217th St.
Tickets are $18 for adults
and $16 for seniors and students. To reserve your tickets,

Drink & Be Scary
At Chain Theatre
BY JAckIE StRAwBRIdgE
Staff Writer
It’s better than popcorn.
The Chain Theatre in Long
Island City and Queens Brewery are joining forces to bring
the Borough several nights of
beer and scary movies.
Cinema Under the Influence will present its inaugural
event on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at
the Chain, screening a double
feature of David Lynch’s “Blue
Velvet” and John Carpenter’s
classic “Halloween.”
An hour-long reception will
precede the movies. Queens
Brewery will provide its Queens
Lager and another special offering, according to Jon Hogan,
who curates Cinema Under the
Influence with partners Edwin
Adrian Nieves, Benham Jones
and Brian Essman.
“For maybe a year or so now,
I’ve been seeing programs like
this popping up - programs that
offer curated classic films along
with full beverage service,” Hogan said. “It was time to bring
this program to the Borough.”
He added that he sees the
Museum of the Moving Image,
Kaufman Astoria Studios and
Silvercup Studios as evidence
of Queens’ interest in film.
For Cinema Under the Influence, part of the goal of the
series is to both entertain and
educate audience members.
“What we really aspire to
is … to emphasize the cinema
as an art through literature
that investigates the presented
films,” Nieves said.
Nieves is a film blogger and
contributed a critical film essay
to a small collection that will be
printed in the night’s program.
The collection offers work
written specifically for Cinema Under the Influence and
also includes writing from Dr.
Kendall Phillips of Syracuse
University’s College of Visual
and Performing Arts.
“It’s something that we’re all
passionate about and can create the best presentation for the
Queens community,” Hogan
added. “We hope they’ll take
away being exposed to these
interesting films, thinking
about the films in a different
way, seeing them in interaction
with each other.”
Upcoming Cinema Under
the Influence events will be
revealed at the Oct. 11 double

Better Luck
Next Year
While the Mets ended the 2014 season with two wins over the
Houston Astros - the celebration of Saturday's 2-1 win is pictured
above - the team finished tied for second with Atlanta in the
National League East with a losing 79-83 record. And while their
Bronx counterparts were saying farewell to their retiring captain,
the Mets were honoring a player who spent half a season playing
in Flushing. Photo by Bruce Adler.
Saying Goodbye To ... Abreu?
While the Yankees were
honoring a retiring legend all
last week, the Mets honored a
player who only played half a
season with the team.
The team’s bench outfielder,
Bobby Abreu, announced that
he was retiring at the end of
this season, which ended on
Sunday.
Abreu, 40, played for six
teams during his 18-year
career, including a three-year
term with the Yankees.
Abreu announced his intention to retire at a press conference with manager Terry
Collins by his side. He started
the last game of the season
and was pulled to a standing
ovation during the contest.
On WFAN's morning radio
show, Boomer and Carton
poked fun at the Mets for
honoring Abreu, even though
he had a long career. They went
through his career stats with
the Mets. He had 133 at-bats
with the Metropolitans, batting
.248 with one home run and 14
RBI’s.
“Thank you for that one
home run,” Carton said jokingly.
On Twitter, several people
started tagging their tweets
with the “#re5p3ct” hashtag,
similar to that of the “#re2pect”
hashtag when talking about
Derek Jeter.
We can certainly see why
the Mets celebrating Abreu is
a bit comical, but he did have
a good career, posting much
better numbers in his prime.
Maybe he’s not at the level of a
Derek Jeter, but that should be
recognized as well.
Starving For More Freedom
Former NYPD officer Gilberto Valle, also known as
the cannibal cop, said that he
should be allowed to leave his
mom’s home in Forest Hills.
After serving time in prison,
Valle was released in July
after a judge overturned his
conviction for fantasizing and
planning to kidnap and cook
women on the Internet. The
judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence for a jury to
have convicted him last year.
He has been placed under
house arrest until his case has
gone under the appeal process.
While Valle never acted on
his fantasies, sentencing him
to life may have been biting off
more than the original judge
could chew.
But, we here at QConf are
content knowing that Valle
will have to settle for getting
his food delivered for the time
being.
Switching Focus In Government
Moving on to a new position in government is not an
unusual step for political
staffers. Switching parties, however, is not as
common.
Eben Bronfman, who
helped run Republican
John Catsimitidis' bid for
mayor last year has recently
taken on a new position.
While also serving as an
adjunct lecturer at NYU,
Bronfman recently took a
position as a Councilmatic aide to Councilwoman
Elizabeth Crowley.
The switch is a bit
strange, but we wish him
all the best!

QCorrection
That’s egg on our face.
QConf would like to apologize for some misinformation
in last week’s column. In our
excitement about the awesome
street food options available in
the Borough, we mistakenly
listed some finalists of the 2014
Vendy Awards as winners.
While Ricas Botanas Mexicana, El Rey Del Taco, King of
Falafel & Shawarma and Bolivian Llama Party all deserve
high praise for their excellent
offerings, the ultimate winners
of the contest were Cinnamon
Snail (Vendy Cup), Nuchas
(People’s Choice,) Calexico (Master Cup), Snowday
(Rookie of the Year) and Zha
Pan Asian (Best of Market).
Ice and Vice did win Best
Dessert, as listed last week.
What can we say – we
just expect everything from
Queens to trounce everything
else!

While the brother-sister
duo of Misia and Dante Vessio split their music between
drums and guitar, respectively,
the siblings both started with
drum lessons when they were
children. They first started
learning to play when Dante
was 4 years old and Misia was
7 years old. Now, more than a
decade later, the musicians
are a two-piece band modeled
after the White Stripes, called
Vessio. Do not think of them as
a tribute act though. Instead,
these two put their own twist
on the formula Jack and Meg
White created.
Generally, Dante handles
the guitar and vocals in the
band, while Misia plays the
drums. But both of the siblings
can play more than one instrument, bringing their various
talents to create a dynamic,
powerful sound. Listen to a
song like “Ricochet Blues” or
“Change The World” and you
will be knocked back by punishing percussion, fuzzed-out
guitar riffs and passionate vocals. Led Zeppelin, the Beatles
and the White Stripes are some
of their major influences.
Based in Astoria, Vessio started in 2010, but the
siblings have been playing
together for many years. As
they have grown older, they
have advanced from covers
to original songs, which have
relatable messages and strong
structures. Their ultimate goal
is to become a major, worldwide benefit band that tackles
global issues.
“Our songwriting has
evolved from rock-pop to more
serious subjects as world
hunger, sexual harassment,
the blues and the musical compositions have become more
complex as we have gotten
older and more experienced,”
the duo said.
Even though there are
only two of them, Vessio has
a huge sound. Their relationship allows them the freedom
to practice whenever they
want.
“We have a music room
with three complete drumsets
and all other equipment in our
home. ‘Disciplined practice’ is
a must,” they said. “Our sound
is so powerful that people go
into shock when they see only
the two of us.”
Vessio’s experience in
front of a crowd came from
gigs at open mics in local
bars and venues like Cronin &
Phelan and Shillelagh Tavern.
These live shows helped the
duo develop their talent as
performers, while retaining a
disciplined, focused attitude
in the studio.
“The studio is where we
work on our craft and playing
live is where we express ourselves musically and physically knowing that we are
entertainers trying to please
a crowd that usually knows
music,” they said.
The band got a chance to
please a TV crowd during their
appearances on “The Groove
Masters Show” and “Next
Great Family Band.”
Vessio is putting the finishing touches on their nine-song,
self-titled debut album. For
this record, they stayed in
their home borough, working
with Carmine Gonzalez of
Loss4 Words Productions in
Bayside.
Once it is out, you can expect to see Vessio at a venue
near you, as they plan to tour
in support of their debut effort.
