NYC Transit revs up Queens bus revamp Agency promises transparency and public input during yearlong process

by Michael Gannon Editor

With the redesign of Staten Island bus service underway and studies and surveys of the Bronx just recently completed, NYC Transit will be turning its attention to Queens over the next year.

And representatives of the agency were in Kew Gardens on Monday making their sales pitch to Borough President Melinda Katz and members of the Queens Borough Board, made up of the chairpersons of all 14 community boards and area city councilmen and women.

“This will be a holistic, blank-slate approach,” Darryl Irick, president of the MTA Bus Co., who addressed the board with Mark Holmes, the chief officer of Operations Planning for the organization.

The promised “from the ground up” reworking of the five boroughs’ bus systems is a key component of NYC Transit President Andy Byford’s Fast Forward plan.

Byford was scheduled to make Monday’s presentation, but had gone home from work ill earlier in the day.

Irick said the plans will include a reassessment of route layouts, the number and location of stops and the places from which buses and personnel are deployed.

He said some of the lines have not been

examined in 30 to 40 years or more, and that many of the existing routes are in place because they conformed with old trolley lines, citing specifically the depot at the southern terminus of the Q60 route.

“That was the site of a trolley barn,” Irick said. “... Queens has changed. We have to change, too.” By the numbers, Queens has

77 local routes and 30 express lines that move more than 700,000 people per day.

Plans call for extensive surveys of passengers plus a number of public workshops and open house meetings. Plans also will be coordinated with the city’s Department of Transportation and the NYPD. There will be personal outreach at some bus stops and

major transfer points. And there will be coordination with Nassau County, which runs several routes into and out of Queens The aim is to modify routes that are underperforming, redundant or that compete with subway lines.

Many community board leaders — particularly those with SBS routes and the accompanying traffic tie-ups they cite in their communities — expressed concerns with a lack of communication and public input that Katz tried to assuage.

“You will be meeting with the community boards, right?” Katz asked.

“That’s the plan,” Irick said.

“You will be meeting with the community boards, right?” Katz replied, then getting agreement from the agency.

CB 6 Chairman Joseph Hennessy, for example, pointed to the recent elimination of some bus stops on Queens Boulevard with what he said was little or no public input.

“That will not be the case here,” Holmes said.

NYC Transit’s timeline calls for releasing its study on existing conditions in August, with a draft proposal for changes and upgrades due in November.

The f inal report is scheduled to be released a year from now in April 2020. Q

MTA cries uncle over Rockaway toll Bridge to the beach will be free for all Queens drivers, spring 2020

by Michael Shain Editor

After decades of frustration, nagging and protest, the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge toll is being eliminated for drivers who live in Queens.

“It’s a big day,” said Assemblywoman St acey Phef fer A mato (D -Rock away Beach), who ran for office two years ago largely on a promise to end the toll.

Fre e c rossi ngs w i l l begin in spring 2020, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said Thursday morning.

Residents and businesses on the peninsula have long maintained the toll is an obstacle to economic development there.

“This is an economic game changer for the Rockaways,” the lawmaker said.

Drivers who work in the Rockaways or take their children to school there are subject to the $4.75 charge — $1.49 with E-ZPass — every time they cross the bridge.

Residents of the Rockaways are able to cross free, if they register with the state to get their tolls reimbursed.

The MTA said it will, in essence, expand the Rockaway rebate program to include all Queens drivers.

To qualify for the toll rebate, drivers must have an E-ZPass and fill out an online form that proves they live in the borough.

“It’s a little challenging,” said Pheffer Amato. “People are going to have to do a little work, but it’s worth it.”

Tolls from the bridge generate about $19 million a year in revenue for the MTA. The agency estimates that it rebates about $4 million of that to Rockaway residents.

MTA officials believe a Queenswide rebate will cost about the same.

“I told Stacey we have this oppor tunity that’s different than every other year,” state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach), who negotiated the toll rollback on the Senate side, told reporters.

The MTA’s need to get congestion pricing, a new toll on cars entering Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, passed in the state Legislature, meant the South Queens lawmakers could trade support for the Manhattan toll for a partial end to

Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato and state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. announce the elimination of tolls on the Cross Bay Bridge for Queens drivers. A 1997 poster, left, at Bungalow Bar, the PHOTOS BY MICHAEL SHAIN Rockway Beach pub, shows how long residents have stumped for it. the Cross Bay Bridge toll.

The goal remains eliminating the toll on the 49-year-old bridge altogether, Pheffer Amato said.

Pheffer Amato told reporters at a news conference at the foot of the bridge this week that getting rid of the toll booths — now converted to plate-reading gan-

tries — has been her “No. 1 priority” since going to Albany in 2017.

Ending the toll, she said, will eliminate the financial hardship for teachers, police officers and firefighters who must commute there, as well as encouraging more people to visit the peninsula year Q round.

Does bridge need barriers for bikes?

State looking at ways to protect cyclists crossing Addabbo Bridge

The bike lanes over the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge in Howard Beach are under study to determine if barriers ought to be PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN placed between traffic and the riders.

The unprotected bike lanes over the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge between Howard Beach and Broad Channel may be getting barriers to separate cyclists from car and truck traffic whizzing by.

In its latest report about road projects statewide, the state Department of Transportation revealed it has begun a study of bike traffic on the bridge, a preliminary step to installing some type of protection.

The bike trip through Howard Beach and over the Addabbo Bridge is notorious among bike riders on their way to and from the Rockaways. “#Murderstrip” — a social-media expression used by cyclists to describe what they consider to be dangerous stretches of road for riders — has been applied to the bike path on the bridge.

“Addabbo bridge is scary to ride next to cars driving 60,” read a tweet from an Astoria rider with the online name DaaaaveTV. “Especially when a f*ing ice cream truck or giant garbage bag is blocking the lane.”

“It gets pretty busy in summer,” said Laura Shepard, communications coordinator for Bike New York, sponsors of the popular Five Boro Bike Tour, and advocate for bike safety.

“The problem is that there is no physical barrier separating

the cars zooming by at 60 miles an hour,” said Shepard, also the chairperson for Transportation Alternatives’ Queens Committee.

“Everybody who rides there feels intensely vulnerable.”

News of the bridge bike lane study is contained in a large report released April 9 about rerouting bike traffic through Howard Beach onto the streets next to Spring Creek Park.

“There are segments,” the report notes, “particularly along the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge, where the buffer disappears and the width of the bicycle lane is reduced to 4 feet which provides cyclists with little protection from motor vehicles along this busy arterial.”

The route down Cross Bay and over the Addabbo Bridge is one of two ways to get to the Rockaways by bike from most of central Queens.

The alternative route, which is at least twice as long, veers off Cross Bay before it enters Howard Beach and runs through the Greenway around Jamaica Bay. Riders have to cross the Gil Hodges Bridge in Brooklyn to reach the peninsula.

“Direct route was the preferred route identified through community planning process,” the report noted.

Community Board 10, which covers Howard Beach and the bridge, would get a chance to vote on any new barriers, if the DOT decides to install them. But its decision is advisory Q and not the final say.

Judge postpones Lewis sentencing Courtroom shocker: Juror alleges ‘misconduct’ behind guilty verdict

by Michael Shain Editor

An unnamed member of the jury that convicted the accused killer of Howard Beach jogger Karina Vetrano is now claiming there was misconduct during deliberations.

Defense lawyers for the 22-year-old Brooklyn man found guilty earlier this month in the racially charged murder case asked Wednesday morning that the judge set aside the guilty verdict against Chanel Lewis.

News that one juror was alleging misconduct on the panel came moments before Lewis was set to be sentenced catching just about everyone in the courtroom by surprise.

The specifics of the misconduct cha rge a re contained in a signed affidavit f rom t he ju ror t hat wa s i m med iately sealed by Queens State Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloise, the judge in the case.

The judge cautioned lawyers for both the defense and the Queens Dist r ict Attorney’s Office not to discuss publicly the contents of the affidavit.

“I don’t want to see any leaks in the newspapers,” Aloise warned the lawyers.

The judge set Monday morning for a full hearing, when the juror will tell his or her story about what went on the jury room during deliberations.

It was the latest twist in the headlinegrabbing murder case that has hung over Howard Beach since the body of 30-yearold Vetrano, a speech pathologist who’d

gone jogging in Spring Creek Park just before sundown on Aug. 2, 2016, was discovered by her father in the high weeds.

The jury in an earlier trial was seriously split on the question of Lewis’ guilt, causing a mistrial.

The jury at his second trial took just five hours to find him guilty, a surprisingly short deliberation for a case that involved complicated testimony about DNA evidence and police procedures.

Prosecutor Brad Leventhal told the court he could have asked the judge to dismiss the defense motion out of hand.

Instead, he agreed to let the dissenting juror testify on Monday “in the interest of justice, so the court and the public can see this was a valid and good verdict.”

Lewis’ mother, Veta, was accompanied to cour t by about 30 supporters, including Assemblyman Charles Bar ron (D-Brooklyn) and her pastor, the Rev. Kevin McCall, who led a prayer circle in the courthouse corridor before the hearing began.

The group left the courtroom chanting “Ju s t ic e for C h a n el” a f t e r t h e postponement.

On the courthouse steps, where more than a dozen cops had been stationed throughout the morning in case of demonstrations, Lewis’ mother told reporters: “Chanel is innocent.”

“We don’t want justice delayed,” Barron said at the impromptu news conference. “We want justice to happen. Chanel should be liberated on Monday.”

Karina’s parents, Phil and Cathi Vetrano,

Veta Lewis, center, mother of Karina Vetrano’s convicted killer, insisted her son is innocent. Activist Floyd Jarvis, left, Assemblyman Charles Barron and the Rev. Kevin McCall accompanied her at a news conference after a judge postponed his sentencing. PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN, ABOVE, AND FILE PHOTO who were set to deliver victim impact statements in court before Lewis was to be sentenced, showed no emotion when the postponement was announced and left the cou r thouse without spea k i ng to reporters.

The father told the Chronicle they had been asked by prosecutors to refrain from comment until after the Monday hearing.

Lewis, who was convicted of f irstdegree murder and sexual assault, faces a potential life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The scene around Queens Criminal Court was tense all morning. A contingent of police officers from the 102nd Precinct, including the commanding offi-

cer, Deputy Inspector Courtney Nilan, was stationed around the courthouse.

Ever y seat i n A loise’s th i rd-f loor courtroom was taken by friends and family of the Vetranos or Lewis’ mother. The two groups sat on separate sides of the cour troom hardly exchanging even a glance.

Acting DA Jack Ryan sat in the front row with a group of prosecutors from his office.

Only a small number of seats was available for members of the public, many of whom were left out in the hall, upset they could not see what was supposed to be the controversial case’s final Q chapter.

New office for Woodhaven BID City-backed agency cuts longtime ties to GWDC

by Michael Shain For the latest news visit qchron.com

Editor

Woodhaven BID Executive Director Raquel Olivares has moved the agency to new offices PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN on Jamaica Avenue.

Under pressure from the city to get a divorce, the Woodhaven Business Improvement District began moving out to the office it has shared with the Greater Woodhaven Development Corp. for more than 25 years.

Raquel Olivares, the new executive director of the BID, is moving the agency to new quarters four blocks from its old headquarters above the Chase Bank on the corner of Jamaica Avenue and Forest Parkway.

The new location is in a newly renovated, second floor walk-up at 89-07 Jamaica Ave. “We have space for meetings now, a conference room, a reception area and desk space for an intern,” said Olivares as she walked through the empty space, dodging wet paint signs and waiting for a furniture delivery.

The BID, which is supported by a tax on local businesses and administered by the city, and the Greater Woodhaven Development Corp., a private business organization, had been jointly operated since 1993 by the late community organizer Maria Thomson, who ran them both out of the same office.

After her death in January 2018, the Department of Small Business Services, which oversees all city BIDs, pushed to separate the two organizations.

“This decision represents a move toward the typical management structure within most BIDs,” a spokesman for the DSBS said last April.

“The board [of the BID] unanimously voted to streamline management practices by terminating the agreement with GWDC, and incorporating management responsibilities into the functions of the BID’s future executive director.”

The BID was created to promote businesses along Jamaica Avenue from Dexter Court to 100th Street. The older GWDC was established to provide services for the neighborhood as well as local merchants.

GWDC is the sponsor of the annual Woodhaven Street Festival, a community event that has been a neighborhood staple for nearly 40 years.

The move to a new office severs the final tie between the two organizations.

Lisa Komninos, Thomson’s longtime assistant and now the GWDC’s executive director, will remain in the organization’s Q office.

One of the main recommended treatments for severe arthritis pain is invasive joint replacement surgery with its possible severe complications. It is best to seek out a nonsurgical solution for arthritis before undergoing surgery. The best non-surgical treatment to avoid an invasive joint replacement is Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell treatment.

Platelet Rich Plasma

Page 7 QUEENS CHRONICLE, Thursday, April 18, 2019

Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease causing severe pain, inflammation and disability.

Platelet Rich Plasma is a high concentration of the patient’s platelets concentrated by a special type of centrifuge. The platelets contain a significant number of proteins and growth factors that accelerate the healing process and decrease inflammation. They are also known to multiply and cause migration of stem cells to the site of injury.

Stem Cells Adult stem cells remain in an individual after birth in a “neutral” state. When activated they can differentiate and aide in cartilage repair, tendon defects and ligament tissue.

Also, they have the ability to control inflammation. Stem cells can be found in all the tissues of the body with major reservoirs in adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow.

Procedure ➤ Platelet Rich Plasma is beneficial for mild to moderate arthritis. Blood would be drawn from the patient and placed in a specialized centrifuge. Subsequently, the platelet rich plasma is injected under ultrasound guidance to the exact location of injury. ➤ Stem Cells are derived from adipose (fat) tissue and /or bone marrow. Stem cells combined with platelet rich plasma is beneficial for moderate to severe arthritis.

Subsequently, an ultrasound guided injection would be performed for 100% accuracy.

The success rate is high and extremely safe.

If you desire to be free of pain, return to your enjoyable sport activities, take long walks with your loved ones and avoid invasive joint replacement surgery ...

P Shelter protesters went too far EDITORIAL

T

he coarsening of debates over city policies reached a new level last Saturday when protesters rallying against a possible homeless shelter went both to a man’s house and his place of worship.

Members of the Glendale Middle Village Coalition took a bus out to Jericho, LI, to protest in front of the home of Michael Wilner, who owns a site on Cooper Avenue the city has been thinking of turning into a homeless shelter for men. Finding that he was not at home, they then went to Temple Or Elohim, where Wilner serves as president — on the Jewish sabbath, the Great Sabbath, no less, the one that occurs a week before Passover. That’s not just tacky but disgusting.

Luckily, the synagogue was closed, according to one of the protesters, so at least families who have nothing whatsoever to do with the site, or the issue of homelessness in the city, had to endure the spectacle.

That protester defended the move by claiming Wilner is willing to put “200 criminals” into a shelter near several schools and other facilities for children, as well as churches. It’s true that homeless men are far more likely than the general population to have crimi-

AGE

nal records, but the share is not 100 percent.

Councilman Bob Holden, who as a civic leader before he won office was a voracious protester, condemned the temple protest as “wrong.” He too opposes turning the site on Cooper into a shelter, and has gotten the city to consider making it a school instead.

Holden had himself led protests in front of a hotel owner’s home when the city was looking to turn that facility into a shelter, as well as the home of Human Resources Commissioner Steve Banks. But that was before Holden became a councilman, and he draws the line at rallying in front of a house of worship.

Councilman Eric Ulrich, meanwhile, protested in front of Banks’ house while in office, just last month.

We disagree with all of this (though we also disagree with Councilman Rory Lancman’s claim that protesting outside the temple was anti-Semitic). Public officials should not see their homes targeted by protesters. Nor should their neighbors, who also have to suffer the disruptions. It’s time to return to keeping the public and private spheres of people’s lives separate. No more protests at homes or houses of worship.

MEMBER

Embrace board reform Dear Editor: I read with interest your article “Community boards reform; what’s next?” (April 11). I agree with CB 8 Chairperson Martha Taylor the “Community boards are important” but couldn’t disagree more that 72 percent of Queens voters didn’t know what they were voting for. There was a social media campaign to bring awareness to the issues. Graphs were presented showing the skewed demographic of the boards versus their communities and many hours of testimony and numerous articles were all made available to the public.

It is concerning that board members continue to lament the loss and blame the voters for being less than knowledgeable rather than support the change and work to support the new members. Community board members that truly support their communities should be giving their all to ensure the success of the future leaders of our community boards.

Community boards that are filled with lifelong appointments often do not embrace the changes in their communities and rely on “how things were,” not the reality of the day.

Board members who are termed out can still continue to work on their community boards through committees. People are not being discarded; rather, new members are being elevated to a role where they can make a greater difference. © Copyright 2019 by MARK I PUBLICATIONS, INC. All rights reserved.

Protect bridge bike lanes

I

s that a blue moon we saw last night? Because this page agrees with the city’s bike lane advocates on a street safety project.

It’s a simple one, though it’ll require plenty of heavy lifting: turning the painted bike lanes on the Joseph P. Addabbo Bridge linking Howard Beach and Broad Channel into protected ones.

And we don’t mean the false security of the skinny plastic delineators separating bikes from cars on some streets, but real protection.

Although only paint separates cyclists from cars on the bridge — cars often going way over the speed limit — a concrete barrier sits between the bike lane and the pedestrian walkway. Hmm. That seems an odd decision. Hearing that the state might do something to improve cyclists’ safety on the bridge, we had the same thought as Twitter user @JimRockaway: “[T]hey can just move the existing barrier they have to include and protect the painted bike lane!”

Our only caveat — and this is one place where we so often differ with cycling activists — is that there must be no loss of space for cars. The walkway can be narrowed a few inches if necessary to maintain the bike lanes’ width; the travel lanes must not be.

The state is studying the bridge before deciding what to do. But we think the answer is clear as day, and are glad to back a safety measure for cyclists that need not disrupt the lives of everyone else.

Community board executives should now be moving newer members into committee chair positions and mentoring. The Charter Revision Commission also incorporated even more resources to our community boards to support existing and new members.

Yes, these are volunteer positions, but they are not lifetime appointments. I very much look forward to reading the July 1 report mandated by the Charter Revision Commission of what positions were filled and the supporting demographic data behind those appointments.

I also look forward to reading the attendance data at committee and full board meetings for existing members. Board members who are simply “checking the box” and getting appointed year after year, not serving on committees and failing to show up should not be subject to blanket reappointment.

For the record, I do think change is good. As Mr. Beadle said “The times have changed and we need to change with them.” These changes should encourage greater communication between board members and the community,

enhance cooperation with all the board members and be a conduit for improvements in our communities. Move past the vote and on to the reform. Embrace change and “what’s next” will be all good things for Queens.

Toll-free bridge thanks Dear Editor: On behalf of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, I want to publicly thank state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. and Assemblymember Stacey Pheffer Amato for their hard work and partnership in eliminating the toll for Queens residents on the Cross Bay Memorial Bridge. Their advocacy and ability to work cooperatively with the MTA will help businesses thrive on both sides of the bridge.

Ever since the QCC’s first Queens Day in Albany, eliminating the toll has been one of our legislative priorities. We discussed it with every senator and Assembly member with

No more fossil fuels Dear Editor: Gov. Cuomo has until May 16 to block a dangerous fracked gas pipeline that would run right off Coney Island and the Rockaways. The Williams pipeline would threaten the safety of our communities and ocean environment while worsening climate change.

Fracking not only releases dangerous methane into the atmosphere, which is more harmful than CO2, but laying the pipeline would stir up massive amounts of toxic sludge from the harbor seabed, sludge containing dioxins, PCBs, lead and arsenic.

I am a volunteer with Food and Water Watch, an environmental organization that is part of a growing movement that opposes the Williams pipeline. Thankfully, Comptroller Scott Stringer and Corey Johnson, the Council speaker, have joined Borough President Melinda Katz and other local elected officials in opposing this dangerous project. We need all of our elected officials, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who supports a “Green New Deal,” to make it real by rejecting new fossil fuel projects as we move New York and the nation off fossil fuels to 100 percent renewable energy.

Immigration crisis is real Dear Editor: For months, the mainstream media have tried to convince us there is absolutely no crisis on the Mexican border, and you must be some kind of white nationalist racist to think otherwise.

The Wall Street Journal reports: “Arrests of families crossing the US-Mexico border illegally in the past five months hit a record.” Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said last Tuesday, “This situation is not sustainable. The system is well beyond capacity and remains at the breaking point.”

The ramifications of this reality are formidable and worrisome because as of today, we have no idea how many immigrants live illegally in the United States. Shouldn’t we find out before we make more plans?

To the Democrats and advocates of open borders everything is a moral question and if you agree with them, you are virtuous and if you don’t, you’re a monster. There can be no compromise so policy debates are pointless.

“Negativity” is what the activist left now calls disagreement. It is time for sober Democrats to come to their senses and rejoin the adult conversation with intellectual honesty. What do we want from our immigration system? Here are some of the questions they should have to answer when that happens.

First and most obvious, how many immigrants should we admit every year? What sort of government services are immigrants entitled to? Do all of them get citizenship and voting rights? How many immigrants can our system support? Do we have enough schools and teachers, doctors, nurses and hospitals to treat the number of immigrants we want to admit?

Previous waves of immigrants were asked to buy into this country’s most basic ideals — religious pluralism, free speech, political freedom, equality under the law. Our schools made them learn English and tried to instill patriotism. We called it assimilation. We thought it was critical to our social cohesion. Are we still for that?

Dear Editor: As a CUNY graduate (Queens College, BA 1962), I’m appalled by Medgar Evers College’s perverted proposal to grant an honorary doctorate to the Rev. Al Sharpton (New York Post, April 13). If CUNY’s board approves this plan, Ph.D. will stand for “Piled High & Deep.”

Medgar Evers’ campus is located in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section, where Sharpton ignited bloody anti-Semitic riots in 1991 after a black child was accidentally killed by a Jewish driver. Since then, Shady Sharpton has transformed himself from an obese high priest of hatred into a slimmed down nonprofit profiteer.

He gave himself a $437,555 “bonus,” boosting his total National Action Network CEO compensation to $687,555 (The Smoking Gun, June 13, 2018). He’ll get another $531,000 by selling his life story to NAN (NY Post, April 13).

Granting him an honorary degree is like putting R. Kelly in charge of the Me Too movement. CUNY’s board must not let this happen. I hope other CUNY alums, faculty and students join my protest against this outrageous act.

Notre Dame will live on Dear Editor: Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the world’s most beautiful works of architecture, will once again rise from the ashes of that devastating fire that caused such major damage, though it will take a very long time to rebuild the damaged sections of the cathedral, and it may be very difficult, if not impossible to repair and replace all the treasured artifacts that were damaged and lost in the blaze.

The people of Paris, and indeed the entire world, have suffered a tremendous loss, but with a positive attitude and a lot of national and international support, France will rebuild this grand lady of the world’s cathedrals and once again its spire will rise above the city of Paris and its bells will ring out the glad tidings that Notre Dame Cathedral has risen from the ashes. The support of the people of New York City, and the entire country, are with our French brothers and sisters in Paris and throughout France.

Van Wyck rebuild kills on-off ramps Access at Liberty and Atlantic to be eliminated under new design

by Michael Shain Editor

Buried in a preliminary report on Gov. Cuomo’s plan to rebuild the Van Wyck Expressway is news that two on-off ramps on the chronically congested highway will be permanently closed.

The northbound off ramp at Atlantic Avenue and the southbound entrance ramp at Liberty Avenue have been eliminated in the redesign, according to the state’s latest presentation.

The state Department of Transportation is in the process of finalizing its $1.2 billion plan to add two new high-occupancy vehicle lanes to the Van Wyck to speed up traffic to and from JFK International Airport, which is also undergoing a major renovation.

The new lanes will be constructed down the center of the existing expressway. They will be open only to vehicles with three or more passengers, taxis and buses.

The new lanes will essentially be limitedaccess express lanes with only limited chances to get off the highway before arriving at the airport going south or the Kew Gardens Interchange heading north.

In a video posted on YouTube about the changes in store for the Van Wyck, the DOT revealed that the two ramps on the Van Wyck will be closed permanently along the notoriously overloaded stretch between Jamaica Avenue and Linden Boulevard.

JFK-bound vehicles may not feel the change, but it promises to be one of the more disconcerting pieces of the project for local drivers.

Under the new design, drivers who get on the highway at Liberty Avenue will have to use the on-ramps at either 101st Avenue or Linden Boulevard instead.

Drivers who get off at Atlantic Avenue will have to exit at Liberty Avenue or Jamaica Avenue.

“No matter what, I feel this is the solution to a lot of our problems in the area,” said Kenny Wilson, the new chairman of Community Board 9, who was briefed by DOT officials on the proposed changes.

The round-the-clock congestion on the Van Wyck has been a main contributor to new traffic problems on Woodhaven Boulevard, he said. Woodhaven runs parallel to the expressway and offers an alternative, north-south route for drivers.

Renderings of the new Van Wyck Expressway show two limited-access lanes, above, located at the center of the existing highway to speed traffic into and away from JFK. The off-ramp at AtlanNYS DOT / YOUTUBE tic Avenue, left, is one of two ramps that will be closed permanently.

Work on the final, 4.3-mile leg of the Van Wyck rebuilding project is set to begin next spring and take up to th ree years to complete.

“They are trying to be as realistic as possible, I thought, about how long this was going to take,” he said.

The redesign will also include a major rerouting of lanes at the south end.

Heading south, the four-lane Van Wyck will split into two lanes heading directly to the airport and the Belt Parkway headed east. Two right lanes will go only to the Belt Q Parkway westbound.

Bill would let seniors play more bingo Stavisky, Rosenthal aim to allow games to be played more at community centers

by Ryan Brady Editor

New York State gambling law may not have been crafted to rein in retirees playing bingo at senior centers. But it’s had that effect.

A Forest Hills senior center in state Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky’s (D-Flushing) district — which she preferred not to name on the record — was fined for having too many of t he i n nocuou s comp et it ion s. R a rely enforced, the rule was applied because a man who was upset with the center reported it for exceeding the limit.

According to the Center for an Urban Future, almost one in six New Yorkers is 65 or more years old. And playing bingo is a popular way for seniors to socialize.

But under existing law, community organizations without a gambling license can only have the games for up to 15 days per year. In response to the Forest Hills senior center getting fined, Stavisky and Assemblyman Daniel Rosenthal (D-Flushing) set out to prevent the same thing from happening again.

A group of retirees, competing for cookies, paused their bingo game at the Queens Community House’s Pomonok Senior Center in south Flushing on Tuesday afternoon to hear Stavisky and Rosenthal discuss their legislation to expand the number of days

State Sen. Toby Ann Stavisky, left, and Assemblyman Daniel Rosenthal read bingo numbers at the Pomonok Senior Center in south Flushing on Tuesday. The pair discussed their legislation to increase the number of days that retirement communities and other social organizations can PHOTO BY RYAN BRADY have bingo games. that retirement communities or social or charity groups can have the competitions.

Some of the seniors stood with the legislators as they spoke.

“We want to fix this to allow everyone

here to play up to two times a week,” Rosenthal said.

The Senate passed the bill unanimously on April 8.

“We don’t agree on much in Albany,”

Stavisky said. “This was one time where it passed unanimously, the Republicans and the Democrats, because they all have senior centers in their districts and they could be fined also.”

The legislation is now with the Assembly’s Committee on Racing and Wagering, wh ich i s ch a i r e d by G a r y P r e t low (D-Westchester).

“Hopefully, together, we will work with the Assembly and convince them that this is a smart, common-sense bill,” Stavisky added.

The crowd clapped for the lawmakers in a clear show of support for the bill.

Existing rules limiting the value of prizes given out to $10 in one game or $150 in a calendar day would not be changed by the legislation.

“That’s a lot of cookies!” Stavisky said.

Joining her and Rosenthal at Tuesday’s event was Queens Community House Director of Special Initiatives Hannah Lupien.

After speaking about the bills, Stavisky and Rosenthal read out some of the winning bingo numbers and even played the game for a bit with the seniors.

In a prepared statement issued after the press conference, QCH Executive Director Ben Thomases said, “Bingo and other games are a great way for our participants to meet their neighbors and build a stronger Q sense of community.”

Cooper Ave. rally goes to Long Island Coalition criticized for protesting outside of property owner’s temple

by David Russell Associate Editor

Protesters who want a District 75 school to be built at 78-16 Cooper Ave., instead of a homeless shelter, traveled to Long Island last Saturday to the home of the property’s owner, Michael Wilner.

But when it turned out he wasn’t home, the protesters went to Temple Or Elohim, which Wilner is the president of. Both are in Jericho.

Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village), who has long been a critic of the proposed homeless shelter and met with the protesters when they returned to Queens, criticized the activists’ taking their rally to the place of worship.

“While I did support my constituents in their effort to make their voices heard and call for the construction of a new District 75 school, I do not agree with the decision of the organizers to rally at a synagogue,” Holden posted on Facebook. “It’s enough to send the message directly to Michael Wilner at his home. Disrupting a congregation at a place of worship is wrong. I share the protesters’ desire to bring a school to 78-16 Cooper Avenue and that is what I continue to work for.”

Holden posted a picture hours earlier of himself talking to area residents outside the site, thanking them for “taking time out of

Councilman Bob Holden meets with area residents after they returned from a rally on Long Island to voice opposition to a proposed homeless shelter. Holden later said he did not agree NYC COUNCIL PHOTO / FACEBOOK with their decision to protest outside a place of worship. their busy lives” to rally.

Mike Papa, a lead organizer for the rally, said he doesn’t regret the protest moving outside Temple Or Elohim, which he added wasn’t even open.

“He’s willing to bring 200 criminals to our neighborhood, to an area where we have — in five blocks — four churches, three

dance schools, a sports facility for kids, a Little League place, five public schools and one Catholic school,” he told the Chronicle in a phone interview. “No. I don’t regret going to his reform temple. Not at all.”

Papa said area residents, including Holden, have been trying to get Wilner to explain what his plans are for the site, “and

he completely ignores us.”

Papa added, “This was the first step to let him know that he really should come and talk to us about what his intentions are.”

Councilman Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows) released a statement on Tuesday morning criticizing the actions of the protesters.

“Protesting outside a person’s synagogue on the Sabbath because they might not develop their private property the way you want is a grotesque act of antisemitism and fully deserves our unqualified condemnation,” he said. “The so-called ‘Glendale Middle Village Coalition’ members should be ashamed of themselves, and should apologize for their repugnant conduct.”

Papa did not agree with Lancman’s comments and did not apologize.

“Here’s another fool trying to promote anti-Semitism,” he said. “And let me tell you, we are the furthest thing from antiSemites. There were probably six Jewish people on the bus with us. My nieces and nephews are Jewish. Very good friends of mine are Jewish. It has nothing to do with anti-Semitism and a clown who’s running for district attorney shouldn’t be trying to promote more negative attitudes between people because that has nothing to do with Q why we were there.”

Advocates push for ranked-choice voting 2019 Charter Revision Commission urged to recommend the reform

by Ryan Brady

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Editor

With the 2019 Charter Revision Commission looking at how to improve the city’s governing document, advocates gathered in Downtown Flushing last Thursday to call for the panel to recommend rankedchoice voting.

RCV, also known as instant runoff, lets voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate wins an outright majority, the one with the least first-choice votes loses in the first round; her or his second-choice votes are reallocated.

The process is repeated until one candidate wins with a majority percentage.

Voters in Oakland, Minneapolis, San Francisco and some other major cities elect their officials with the ranked-choice system. And the appetite is growing for the five boroughs to join them.

Speaking at the event on the steps of the Flushing Library, Common Cause New York Executive Director Susan Lerner officially announced her group’s campaign to get a top-five candidate RCV system for pr imar y and special

elections.

“Right now, as a happy result of our campaign finance system, we have many races in New York City where there are a lot of candidates,” she said. “And as a result, all too frequently, the winner of that contest is chosen with less than majority support.”

Lerner brought up the February special election for public advocate.

Jumaane Williams won the race with a 35-percent plurality; 16 other candidates were on the ballot. He joined Lerner the other day to call for New York to have the rankedchoice system.

Joining her in Flushing last Thursday were Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Flushing), another public advocate candidate; Chinese-American Planning Council Director of Policy and Advocacy Amy Torres; and the MinKwon Center for Community Action.

They said RCV drives candidates to maximize the number of voters whom they appeal to. “ It ’s a c o n s e n s u s - d r i v e n approach,” Kim said.

The assemblyman said rankedchoice could dramatically change

the existing “cutthroat, supercompetitive” system, in which political consultants specialize in suppressing the votes of their clients’ rivals.

Candidates would be forced to focus on important issues and propose thoughtful solutions to them, Kim explained.

A not her adva nt age of t he ranked-choice system is how the city would possibly save millions in each election cycle because there wouldn’t be runoffs, he added.

The speakers also brought up how RCV would benefit communities that have historically faced exclusion from centers of power in city politics. Kim pointed to an example: the late Ed Lee, a Chinese-American, was elected San Francisco mayor in 2011 after winning in the second round of an RCV election.

Asian-American Pacific Islanders make up a major share of Queens residents, but many say the group’s concerns have not been given anywhere near adequate attention from elected officials.

“We not only need to stop using plastic foodware as a city government, we need to get plastic foodware out of restaurants, out of stores, we need to get it out of our lives,” de Blasio said. “And we’ll be working with the Council to get that done.”

The bill has been referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Business Licensing but it has yet to receive a hearing. Yet, a few Council members canvassed by the Queens Ch ronicle are expressing their support.

“Single-use plastics are extremely harmful to the health of our planet, as well as the wildlife crucial to our ecosystems,” Councilman Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria), chairman of the Committee on Environmental Protection, said in a statement. “I applaud New York City’s effort to ban single-use plastics and lead the rest of the nation on sustainability.

Though the Trump White House might not believe in climate change, we are leading the way to a brighter, greener, and

safer future.”

“Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to our planet,” said Councilwoman Adrienne Adams (D-Jamaica) in a statement. “I applaud Mayor de Blasio’s executive order and the pending City Council legislation as we must tackle climate change from every angle. Banning single-use plasticware will remove tons of plastic from our landfills and will have a positive effect on our environment moving us closer to our zero waste goals.”

“I support the mayor’s right to issue that order and to limit city agencies’ use of plastic foodware,” said Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) in a statement.

“While Council member Espinal’s bill has not received a hearing yet, I am interested in learning more about it and I’m always open to considering measures that will preserve our environment.”

“This is part of a series of actions — and you’re going to be seeing a lot more,” de Blasio said at the press conference.

“Here in this city we led the fight to get rid of plastic bags. Here in this city we led a fight and we succeeded in getting rid of Q Styrofoam.”

Area residents rally against jail proposal Speakers say the city has ignored their objections of Kew Gardens plan

by Anthony O’Reilly Chronicle Contributor

Andrea Crawford believes the average Kew Gardens resident is unaware of the city’s plan to build a new 1,437-bed jail at the unused for mer site of the Queens House of Detention. “And it befuddles me that they’re not,” Crawford, a Kew Gardens resident, said. “Because as a taxpayer, you should be aghast at what the mayor is doing.”

In an effort to educate more residents — and show their displeasure with the plan — hundreds of people lined the steps of Borough Hall last Saturday for a protest organized by community organizations. Speakers at the rally claimed the city has disregarded their objections to the proposed siting of the jail, at 126-02 82 Ave. “For those of you who thought there was supposed to be some community input on this, you’re wrong and you’re being led down the garden path,” Dominick Pistone, the Kew Gardens Civic Association’s president, said. “In fact, the mayor went so far as to say that since it’s a representative democracy, the representative can site the jail. Who’s that representative? The mayor.”

Recent meetings about the jail, includ-

City officials have said they wanted residents to speak freely at those

meetings, but Kew Gardens resident Joe Faraldo, who attended one such meeting, said he had no problem talking in front of reporters. “The truth comes out either way,” he said.

The plan to build four borough-based jails was announced in 2017 as the city moved forward with plans to shutter facilities on Rikers Island, which have been plagued with violence — sometimes deadly — from inmates and correction officers. Protesters said the new jails would not solve the problems found at Rikers.

“Those guys are not going to be fired,” said Briarwood resident Daniel Monti, refer r i ng to t he cor rect ion of f icers, “they’re going to be transferred here. The problem will be transferred from Rikers to Queens.”

The Queens House of Detention once held more than 300 prisoners, but since 2002 has been empty and only used as a set for popular shows such as “Orange is the New Black.” The redeveloped jail would detain most of the city’s incarcerated women, include a maternity ward and be 26 stories high. Martin Hack, a longtime Kew Gardens resident, worried how the redeveloped jail would affect residents’ quality of life. “It’s going to jam our streets with cars,” Hack said. “It’s goi ng to change the dy nam ic of the neighborhood.”

Emotional jail talk during CB 6 meet Koslowitz tells community she does not want it either but it’s happening

by Mark Lord

Chronicle Contributor

It wasn’t even on the agenda, but the city’s plan to open a jail in Kew Gardens became the most controversial topic at the monthly Community Board 6 meeting on April 10.

Against the wishes of many in the community, the city is pushing to redevelop the long-dormant Queens House of Detention into one of four community-based jails intended to replace Rikers Island. New jails are also planned for Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan.

Facing a crowd of area residents who were predominantly opposed to the idea, Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills), said, “I don’t want a jail either. However, the jail is coming, whether I want it or I don’t want it, whether you want it or don’t want it.”

Without her presence and input at plenary sessions for the project, she said, “They’re going to do whatever they want.”

While indicating that “we just knocked a few stories off the building and we intend to go even lower,” she did not specify how many floors might be in the final plan.

“They were bringing an infirmary into Queens which wouldn’t have anything to do with the Queens residents. I stopped that,” she added, suggesting that without her at the table, “They would be dumping whatever they could into this prison.”

In an effort to allay fears, she reminded the crowd that a jail was at the site for 40 years — through 2002 — with no incidents. “Maybe one,” she added.

In response to verbal attacks from one or two members of the crowd, she pointed out that she will have served the community for over 20 years by the time she is term-limited out in two and a half years. She said, “We’re trying to do the best we can. I’m not here to hurt you. I have a reputation that I want to maintain.”

Vocal opposition to the proposal was fast and, if not furious, certainly forceful.

“A 1.9-million-square-foot building does not fit contextually into the streets surrounding it,” said Barry Wollner, a 35-year resident of Briarwood and Forest Hills. “Building a jail that is a five-minute walk from two public elementary schools, three private middle-high schools and several preschools will have an impact on our safety and that of our children. It will destroy the fabric of our communities.”

Concluding that “a jail at this location, of this size, in this community must not be built,” he turned to the members of the community seated behind him, and urged them to “stand if you agree.” Many did.

Addressing members of CB 6, Charlotte Picot, who sits on the Board of Directors of Forest Hills South, a seven-building co-op of about 2,000 residents, said, “The mayor has cleverly

Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz, center, listens at Community Board 6 as many area residents oppose the city’s plan to break up Rikers Island in order to build borough-based jails, including PHOTO BY MARK LORD one in Kew Gardens. wrapped this initiative in the mantle of fairness for one reason — to stifle opposition. After all, anyone who objects would be considered to be against criminal justice reform.

“How can anyone be in favor of building monolithic, oppressive mega jails in any of the boroughs? Massive penitentiaries reflect a failure of imagination rather than a sustainable and equitable vision of criminal justice reform. I ask you, Community Board 6, please do not let a flawed plan that fails to

meet any positive objectives destroy our quality of life.”

Just prior to the public forum, during which the area residents expressed their concerns, board Chairman Joseph Hennessy made it clear that the board has no input into the matter, as the proposed jail is actually to be located in Community District 9.

They were not deterred. George McGrath, president of the co-op board, spoke directly to Q Koslowitz, saying, “We need your help.”

They’re all-natural!

People Are Flocking To This Treatment There is no cure for arthritis at the present time, regardless of what anyone tells you.

When arthritis affects the knee, the lubricating fluid—synovial fluid—dries up. There is nothing to coat the bones in the joint and they rub and grind together. Over time the pain steadily worsens because of this until it’s almost unbearable.

Viscosupplement treatment works like a “joint oil”. The gels are injected directly into the knee right where it is needed. It lubricates and cushions your knee—and eliminates the pain— similar to oil lubricating your car’s engine.

Remarkable, huh? A simple injection to cushion your joint. And the best part?

The injections last up to 6 months on average. And they’re virtually pain-free as well. We give you a local anesthetic before injecting the gel for your comfort.

Over-the-Counter Supplements Just Aren’t The Same!

CB 4 chair: Queens Place mall not closing Louis Walker walks back comments that location would shut its doors

by David Russell Associate Editor

Never mind.

After announcing Queens Place mall would likely close at the end of the year during Community Board 4’s last meeting, Chairman Louis Walker told the Chronicle on Tuesday that he heard from the owners of the building and they had a message.

“The mall’s not closing,” Walker said.

“Target is not moving. And that, in fact, they have plans to make improvements to Queens Place.”

On April 9, Walker stunned attendees at CB 4 when he said it appeared the site would close at the end of the year and that Target would move to Middle Village where Kmart was formerly located, though he acknowledged that there had been no official announcement.

The mall at 88-01 Queens Blvd. in Elmhurst contains Target, Best Buy, DSW and Red Lobster among its businesses.

Queens Place mall, not to be mistaken with Queens Center mall, opened in 1965.

The announcement received a lot of attention, which Walker admits came as a surprise to him.

“Everybody jumps and acts like it’s going to happen tomorrow,” he said. “And by the way, it said end of the year. That’s still eight months from now. I’m surprised but I guess I shouldn’t be.”

He added the response was as if, “All of a sudden it’s like the whole stock market is going to flip upside down.”

A spokeswoman for Madison International Realty, which owns the mall, said no businesses are closing and there is no issue

“at all” with its electrical system, contrary to what Walker said at the meeting.

According to the spokeswoman, Target will remain put.

“To our knowledge and based on our discussions with the company, Target has no plans to move from Queens Place,” she said in an email. “In fact, Target has recently invested in remodeling and updating its store at the mall. We are proud to have Target as a partner at Queens Place, a prime location and facility that will continue to serve the neighborhood.”

That was confirmed by a Target spokeswoman who said “we don’t have plans to close or move the store.”

Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) said that he was “hopeful” that Target would come to Rentar Plaza when the news of Walker’s first statement was announced.

“I guess the people in Middle Village will have to get their own Target,” Walker said.

There is a plan to build a Target at 40-31 82 St. on the border of Elmhurst and Jackson Heights. The process has been controversial with an antigentrification group protesting the building. The store is planned to be about 23,000 square feet in total, with 2,000 at the ground level and 21,000 in the cellar.

Meanwhile, the owners of Rentar Plaza at 66-26 Metropolitan Ave. are still negotiating with a “number of people,” Felice Bassin, one of the building’s owners, told the Chronicle last week.

There are 190,000 square feet to lease, with 145,000 on one side and 45,000 where Q Toys ‘R’ Us had been located.

Holy Week is here Palm Sunday marks the start of Holy Week, the most solemn period on the Christian calendar, which ends with Easter Sunday.

At Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary RC on Rockaway Boulevard in Ozone Park, seven Masses were held, starting at 7:30 a.m., to accommodate the large number of worshippers.

Palm Sunday is the day scripture says that Jesus made a triumphal entrance into the city of Jerusalem, escorted by his followers carrying palm fronds.

It is traditionally among the best-attended days in any Catholic parish, when even occasional Mass-goers show up to express their faith.

Keep SHSAT, pols told at HS forum State senators listens to parental outcry over school deficiencies

by Victoria Zunitch Chronicle Contributor

An overflow crowd of passionate parents showed up at Borough Hall last Thursday evening for a forum chaired by a group of state senators about how to diversify New York City’s specialized high schools.

“Talking about the ‘achievement gap’ between black and Latino students and Asian and white students has become a reflexive part of our language in this discussion,” said John J. Keller, a parent and member of Community Education Council, District 2.

The “achievement gap” is the result of a deeper “opportunity gap,” Keller said, capturing in a phrase what became the theme of the town hall.

The forum was called by state Sen. John Liu (D-Bayside) after the Department of Education last month revealed an extraordinary paucity of admissions this year for black and Hispanic students to the specialized schools. Only seven black students were admitted to the prestigious Stuyvesant High School this year, for example, down from 10 last year.

To make the student population of the elite high schools more closely reflect the city as a whole, the city and education officials are recommending the elimination of the Specialized High School Admissions Test as the sole criterion for admission.

At Borough Hall, many parents made the case before a group of state senators, left, for keeping the test-only system of admission to the city’s specialized high schools in place. It was the first PHOTO BY VICTORIA ZUNITCH of a series of town halls on the controversial test.

The vast majority of pre-registered speakers spoke in favor of keeping the test.

But most allowed that the current elementary and middle school system is failing many students — for reasons including a dearth of gifted and talent programs at schools in minority communities, a shortage of seats in Queens high schools and an extraordinary burden placed on students who are forced to make long commutes to attend high schools in other boroughs.

speakers’ names were not provided.

“I just want to say that the main goal of public schools is to provide a good education to every child,” one white woman said, pointing out that the SHSAT debate affects “maybe 700 kids.

“We’re completely forgetting about the other 70,000 kids,” she said.

She advocated offering academically enriched gifted and talented programs in every school — and delaying G&T availability until

after kindergarten.

Some studies have said that G&T tests are inaccurate before age 7, whereas the city schools administer them as early as age 4.

State Sens. Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn), Toby Ann Stavisky (D-Flushing) and Velmanette Montgomery (D-Brooklyn) joined Liu — along with Assemblywoman Alicia Hyndman (D-Jamaica) and Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) — at the meeting. It was the first of five forums to be held around the city.

Liu said he felt that the Asian-American community had been specifically excluded from discussions when changes to test-based admissions were first proposed by Mayor de Blasio last year.

Noting mayoral control of schools, an Asian woman suggested the proposal to eliminate the SHSAT is “his way of covering up his failure” to improve education for minority students.

The pros and cons of restricting admission to the performance on a single test were exemplified by two mothers who spoke.

Students whom one mother called “slackers” and failed to earn good grades in middle school can still be rewarded with a prestigious high school placement simply on the basis of a good score on the SHSAT. Another mom said she was grateful the current system was in place for her son who’d had continued on page 25

A new study published in the American Heart Association’s journal Association found a label showing added sugars content on all packaged foods and sugary drinks could have substantial health and cost-saving benefits in the United States over the next 20 years.

“Sugar doesn’t come in the form of just sugar,” said Dr. Evelina Grayver, the director of the Coronary Care Unit at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, LI, which was not involved in the study. “It comes in the form of glucose and sucrose and certain syrups that patients or a lay person might not be able to interpret simply as, ‘This is also sugar.’”

Researchers were able to estimate a significant reduction in cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes cases from 2018 to 2037 if such a mandated addition to the Nutrition Label was implemented.

The study, conducted as part of a National Institutes of Health-funded initiative, Food-PRICE, at Tufts University to identify nutrition strategies that can have the greatest impact on improving diet and health in the U.S., contends the added sugars label would encourage food and beverage makers to reformulate their products.

The researchers predicted that over the next 20 years, the label would prevent more than 354,000 cardiovascular disease cases and lead to almost 600,000 fewer cases of type 2 diabetes. The estimated reduction in net healthcare costs would be more than $31 billion, after policy costs have been factored in, and not including societal costs, such as lost productivity, with reduced sugar intake.

“The degree of cardiovascular disease that it causes is astronomical,” Grayver said.

She said it’s not limited to the heart but can also lead to problems with arteries that can potentially lead to a stroke or even the destruction of arteries in the legs, which can lead to significant peripheral arterial disease.

Grayver believes there has been an additional focus from consumers on nutrition in recent years.

“I think that we’re beginning to understand how much nutrition plays a significant role in our overall health, not only cardiovascular but also when it comes to oncology and different types of malignancies,” she said. “I think we’ve realized the fact that we consume a signif icant amount of processed food that is no longer grown by us, things that are manufactured elsewhere and things that need to be preserved on the shelves for a long period of time.”

And how is it kept on the shelf for a long period of time?

“A lot of preservatives are being added that we have absolutely no clue how it affects our overall health,” Grayver said.

She also noted the addictive quality of sugar and how some people who attempt to kick it out of their diet become physically ill and go through withdrawal symptoms.

When it comes to understanding food nutrition labels, the AHA advises starting with the serving information at the top, telling someone the size of a single serving and the total number of servings per container. The next step is to check the total calories per serving and container. Q

continued from page 14 Under RCV, Torres added, candidates would be compelled to distribute campaign materials in languages spoken by AAPI voters.

“They would be forced to engage on the issues that matter to us because not only are they running for one vote, they’re running for a series of ranked votes,” she said.

“This is an option that would really increase the power of the AAPI electorate because we would be engaged on the same issues that the rest of the electorate is engaged on, but in a way that is nuanced

and tailored to our community.”

According to City & State New York, the 2019 Charter Revision Commission is expected to announce its proposals for ballot referenda later this month.

Last November, city voters approved the three items placed on the ballot by the separate charter revision commission that Mayor de Blasio had established. One of the measures established term limits for community board members; another changed the city’s matching funds program from six-to-one to eight-to-one and lowered the threshold for how large a donation a candidate for city office can accept, and the third directed the city to establish a Q Civic Engagement Commission.

Elite high schools town hall continued from page 22 “behavior problems” in middle school but got a “second chance” by performing well on the test.

One black woman who described herself as a descendant of slaves noted that she had attended Stuyvesant. The audience began to applaud.

“I don’t need your applause,” she snapped, then went on to say she is in favor of dropping the SHSAT. “The schools are a public good for everybody,” she said. “We do not want to be excluded from the schools that we built.”

An Asian woman responded that the goal needs to be improving education for all students “instead of just moving seats from one race to another” — an allusion to the assumption that eliminating the SHSAT and simply admitting the top-graded students in every middle school to the specialized high schools would result in more black and Latino students, and fewer Asian students, gaining entrance.

Koo added that if the city truly cared about diversity, “it would stop ignoring communities of color and prepare more students Q for an advanced education.”

continued from page 18 when it was operational. “But you don’t need a 2 million-square-foot megalopolis,” Crawford added. Monti, though, said his car was broken into years ago by someone who had just been released from the jail, and he does not want to live near inmates again.

He wasn’t the only one concerned with inmates coming back to Kew Gardens. Gregory Lasak, a retired Queens Supreme Court judge who is running for the Democratic nomination for Queens district attorney, said two convicted murderers escaped from the facility in the 1980s. “They came out of the sixth-floor dormitory, they had fire hoses and bedsheets and they came down in the middle of the night,” Lasak said. “These are not escape-proof jails.”

Several residents shouted messages of suppor t for Lasak after his speech , w it h some say i ng t hey would vote for him in June. Attorney Betty Lugo, another Queens DA candidate, attended the rally but did not speak. No other Democratic candidates were at the rally.

Earlier this year, de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson (D-Manhattan) agreed to consolidate the proposal to revamp or build the jails into one Unifor m Land Use Review Procedure. The next step in that process will take place on April 24, when Community Board 9 will host a public hearing on the jail plan starting at 7 p.m. in the Helen Marshall Cultural Center at Borough Hall, at 120-55 Queens Blvd. Faraldo encouraged opponents of the plan to make their voices heard, adding the city has backed out of similar plans before.

“The first day de Blasio was in office he said he was going to get rid of the horse car riages in Central Park,” Faraldo said. “They’re still there. It’s not necessarily a done deal unless you want to communicate the impression that you, the people, have nothing to contribute to Q the democratic process.”

Off-B’way starring role for corner pub ‘Battles of Richmond Hill’ based on much-loved Irish bar, now closed next week

by Michael Shain Editor

Penny Jackson, a Manhattan playwright with a string of well-received off-off-Broadway shows to her credit, had never heard of Richmond Hill until an actor in one of her productions mentioned he’d grown up there.

“He told me about an Irish bar there called Little Brown Jug,” she said. “And it stuck with me.”

Next Thursday, her new play, “The Battles of Richmond Hill,” a six-character show about memory and growing old in a neighborhood you do not want to leave, opens at HERE Arts Center in Tribeca.

The entire play is set in a “fictional version of Little Brown Jug,” she said — a corner pub on Jamaica Avenue and 124t h St re et t h at opened in 1971 and closed in December.

The bar’s phone is d iscon nected , but a store owner next door said this week that the building was recently sold.

Shelia O’Connor, the play’s central character, has lived in Richmond Hill her entire life. She is one of The Dublin

Rose’s best customers.

“She’s become an alcoholic, in fact, who can’t take care of herself anymore,” says Jackson. As the play opens, “she’s just been evicted from her apartment because she started a fire.”

The “Battles” of the play’s title concern her grandson, a doctor, who is adamant about getting her out of Richmond Hill and into an assisted-living facility in New Jersey.

“She has no intention of going to New Jersey,” said Jackson — and that’s where the conflict begins.

“It’s about families and having to leave the pl a c e s you love s o much,” she said.

“I’ve always been interested in neighborhoods that are changing.

That’s why I thought Richmond Hill fit.”

The bar in the play — like the original Little Brown Jug — is on the verge of closing.

“It’s about to become a Duane Reade, like so many Irish bars before it,” she said.

Raised on the Upper West Side, Jackson — whose novel, “Becoming the Butlers,” has been optioned for the movies by Warner Brothers — says that everything she knows

The cast of “Battles of Richmond Hill” includes Kevin Gilmartin, left, Mac Brydon, Lindsay Ryan and Nora Chester. Playwright Penny Jackson heard about Little Brown Jug from an actor friend and used it for her drama opening next week. PHOTOS COURTESY EMILY HEWITT, ABOVE AND BY MICHAEL SHAIN about Richmond Hill is secondhand.

“I visited there once,” she said, “a long time ago. I hear it’s become Guyanese and Caribbean.”

“The Battles of Richmond Hill” has been booked for 20 perfor mances at HERE, a 98-seat theater on Sixth Avenue, Q from April 26 to May 11.

Resorts World comes up aces for sick kids Casino execs drop everything to read to children at Jamaica Hospital MC

O ne m ig ht not k now t h at Resorts World Casino New York City is a contributor to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, but if you’ve ever been in the pediatric ward or pediat r ic emergency room, you’ve seen the wall-mounted game and activity centers it has donated to make a sick child’s stay

at least a little bit more pleasant.

And on April 12, the casino’s presence was far more personal as executives dropped by to help children celebrate National Drop Everything and Read Day. April 12 was chosen to celebrate the birthday of famed children’s author Beverly Cleary.

Outfitted with everything from new titles to children’s classics like Dr. Seuss in hand, they visited a handful of children in their rooms and the floor’s playroom.

“We know firsthand how important story time and other fun activities are to children admitted to our hospital,” said Bruce Flanz, president of JHMC. “Our pediatric team aims to create an environment that makes children feel at home.”

Hospital officials said Resorts World has been a generous supporter when it’s had needs.

Michelle Stoddar t, Resor ts’ director of public relations and community development, spent some time reading an alphabet book to a young man all of 2 who was simultaneously interested in a tome with numbers and the car he rode from his bed to the playroom.

Her favorite activity station, situated on the wall near the nurses’ station, was a large red crab adorned with multiple mirrors.

Others teach about magnets, counting and even thermal imaging.

The activity center in the pediatric emergency room is a large, multistation affair framed as a large

wooden submarine.

“We want to be god neighbors,” Stoddart said. “If I got really sick at work, I’d come here. When a guest is really sick, they come here.

Flash back to the 1939 World’s Fair Sunday with showman

Trav S.D.

It was 80 years ago that Queens — at least for a time — seemed to be the center of the universe.

The first New York World’s Fair opened its doors on April 30, 1939, attracting exhibitors from countries around the globe to the area known today as Flushing Meadows Corona Park. By the time it closed a year-and-a-half later, an estimated 44 million visitors had stopped by for a glimpse into the future, as it was imagined at the time.

History buffs, those with fond memories of the fair, and anyone interested in learning about it are in for a special treat. To commemorate the anniversary, a modern-day Renaissance man, who goes by the unlikely moniker Trav S.D., will be

making a one-time-only appearance at Queens Theatre on April 28, offering a backstage look at the fair that is likely to provide an overload of nostalgia.

Trav S.D. (a jumbling of his real name, Donald Travis Stewart) is a multi-hyphenate: lecturer/ author/producer/director/performer, perhaps best known for his popular 2005 publication, “No Applause, Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous.” He is also recognized as a key figure in the new vaudeville, burlesque and indie theater movements.

The “Backstage at the ’39 World’s Fair” presentation will focus primarily on the section known as the Amusements Area. It included a roller coaster,

the Parachute Jump (which was subsequently moved to Coney Island, where it still stands) and a variety of live entertainments, featuring everything from performing dwarfs to showgirls in scanty costumes — or topless, inspiring a number of protests and more than one raid by the vice squad.

“There was a lot of burlesque and nudity at the fair, topless exhibitions, fan dancing,” Trav S.D. said in a recent telephone interview. ”It was popular with the fans.”

But not to worry: His presentation promises to be family-friendly, featuring lots of colorful slides and plenty of talk. He describes it as “a virtual tour of the place.” continued on page 31

One nice thing about pitching in the major leagues for 13 seasons is that there is no shortage of material when it comes to writing books.

Ron Darling, who pitched for the Mets in nine of his 13 seasons and has been announcing Mets games since 2006, recently wrote his third book, “108 Stitches: Loose Threads, Ripping Yarns, and the Darndest Characters From My Time in the Game” with Daniel Paisner (St. Martin’s Press).

His first book was “The Complete Game: Reflections on Baseball, Pitching and Life on the Mound,” which focused on nine different innings in his career. He later wrote “Game 7, 1986: Failure and Triumph in the Biggest Game of My Life,” which looked at his memories of pitching against the Red Sox in Game 7 of the World Series and how he came to balance the personal failure of struggling and not making it out of the fourth inning with the fact that the Mets rallied to win the title.

There are 108 stitches on a baseball and Darling’s new book contains 108 anecdotes from his time in the game.

The book covers a wide variety of topics such as his first mentor, former Mets pitcher Al Jackson; his final days in the majors as he struggled with Oakland and was eventually released on his 35th birthday; New York City in the 1980s with popular hangouts such as Elaine’s and the China Club. He also talks about meeting legendary screen star Lauren Bacall and how announcers in today’s game need to reference things that younger viewers can relate to.

What has surprised many fans of Darling, who has won rave reviews as an insightful broadcaster both locally and nationally, are some of the negative stories in his book.

Darling recalls veteran catcher Ron Hodges welcoming him on first day in the majors by spitting tobacco juice on his pants.

And Darling criticized Frank Howard, the Mets manager when Darling was a rookie, for pinch-hitting for light-hitting shortstop Jose Oquendo in the third inning of a meaningless September game. “It was a witless, heartless, gutless move,” Darling wrote.

Howard would be replaced by Davey Johnson after the season.

There was the story of Mets announcer Bob Murphy, who passed out drunk in the

And of course there’s Lenny Dykstra.

With Red Sox pitcher Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd warming up before Game 3 of the 1986 World Series, Darling wrote that Dykstra was making racial remarks at Boyd

MOHS-075575

“worse than anything Jackie Robinson might have heard.” Dykstra hit a leadoff home run off Boyd and the Mets would win the game to turn the series around after they had lost the first two at home.

Food and fundraising for a good cause

by Michael Gannon editor

“It’s a beautiful event,” she said.

“People can go out and have a good meal, a beverage and also contribute to the Alliance for Change.” Sacramone said participants coming to either Sac’s Place location will have a fine selection of pizza and homemade pasta dishes.

And should the event establish itself as a tradition? The Sacramones have plenty of experience with the concept.

While the Jackson Heights restaurant has been open for about three years, they have been in business in Astoria for 30.

“We make everything ourselves,” Sacramone said, “even when we make our sauce. We don’t use canned tomato paste. We buy our tomatoes from Italy.”

The recipes for their dishes and sauces were handed down by the Sacramones’ grandmother.

“And her mother was born in the 1850s,” Domenico Sacramone said. “So our family recipes could go back 200 Q years or more.”

When the Alliance for Positive Change was seeking restaurants for Dining Out for Life, a citywide fundraiser to assist AIDS patients, Domenico and Anthony Sacramone, owners of the Sac’s Place Italian restaurants in Astoria and Jackson Heights, were just looking to lend a hand.

“Someone from Jackson Heights asked us to help out last year,” Domenico Sacramone said in a telephone interview last week. “We thought it could be good for us, good for the community and let us meet some new people.”

The Alliance was looking to send participating diners to restaurants in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn where the owners agreed to donate a percentage of the profits on a specific day.

“We did it in our Jackson Heights restaurant,” Sacramone said. “It went so well that this year we’re expanding it to our Astoria restaurant as well.”

Thursday, April 25, is the day. The Sac’s Place sites are among 10 restaurants participating in the fundraiser this year, and the only two in Queens.

When: Thurs., April 25 Ebony Ross, director of development Where: Sac’s Place, 25-41 Broadway, and planning at the Alliance, said the Astoria; 86-14 37 Ave., organization and others in the past had Jackson Heights been trying to pull off something similar Entry: Variable.

It was performed at an 11,000-seat amphitheater. Over the years, the site fell into disrepair. Plans were discussed to renovate it as a concert venue, but they were ultimately scrapped and the last remnants were demolished amid much public disappointment in 1996.

Also sure to be given its due is Frank Buck’s Jungleland, an attraction named after the well-known big game hunter and featuring rare birds, reptiles, wild animals

While not born until long after the fair — in fact not until after the 1964-65 one — Trav S.D.’s interest is under s t a ndable. “I’ve always been into old stuff,” he said. “At 13, I was involved in local historical societies, re-enactments.” His latest endeavor combines his love of history and performing.

Not lost on him and likely to be included in his talk are the parallels this Rhode Island native sees between the fair and “The Wizard of Oz,” the beloved motion picture whose 80th anniversary is also this year.

Even after all these years, the fair “lingers on in popular memory,” he said. He expects his presentation will attract plenty of “local

Former teammates Dwight Gooden, Kevin Mitchell and Darryl Strawberry said in interviews they didn’t hear any racial remarks. In a radio interview, Boyd said he didn’t hear anything but believes Darling.

Darling went on ESPN Radio to defend himself, saying “I heard what I heard and I put it in the book for a reason.”

He later put out a statement saying, “Even though my recently released book ’108 Stitches’ has sparked some controversy, I stand by all recollections that were written, but I do regret that my former teammates have been approached for comment. Due to a legal threat, I have been advised not to make further comments at this time.”

During Saturday night’s Mets game against the Braves, Darling announced he will be missing several weeks to take care of a health issue.

I HAVE OFTEN WALKED

The Alfonso Martinez Pharmacy on National Avenue

BEAT

Yanks added injuries

by Lloyd Carroll Chronicle Contributor

The injury bug, which the Mets know all too well, seems to have traversed the RFK Triborough Bridge. The Yankees knew from the end of last season that they would be without shortstop Didi Gregorius. They did not know, however, that by the midpoint of April they’d also be without Gregorius’ replacement, Troy Tulowitzki, as well as third baseman Miguel Andujar, outfielders Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury and Giancarlo Stanton and pitchers Luis Severino and Dellin Betances.

This past Friday night catcher Gary Sanchez was added to the injured list with a strained left calf. Reporters rushed to his locker before the Yankees game with the Chicago White Sox and peppered him with such ridiculous questions as “Do you feel guilty about missing games when so many of your teammates are out of the lineup as well?”

To his credit, Sanchez kept his cool. The decision was not his but rather that of Yankees management, he said. He was hoping to play through the pain.

I asked him, was the thinking that it’s a long season and, since it’s still mid-April, wouldn’t it be better to nip the nagging injury in the bud rather than risk it becoming worse at a less opportune time? Sanchez agreed.

That was exactly what the Yankees were

by Ron Marzlock Chronicle Contributor

Alfonso Martinez was born in Manhattan on March 6, 1880, the son of an immigrant from Spain who toiled as a machinist. Named Alfonso, perhaps in honor of King Alfonso XII, who was the ruler of Spain at the time.

1900 U.S. Census records show Alfonso and his younger sister, Mar y, were living with their grandparents. He was working as a druggist clerk and she was a seamstress operator. Upon graduation from college and receiving his Ph.G., he was now officially a Alfonso Martinez’s pharmacy, 101-02 Northern Blvd., Corona, circa 1940s. pharmacist.

In 1910, he decided to move to Queens and opened up a drug store on undertaker. If his drugs couldn’t save Northern Boulevard, then called Nation- you, you didn’t have far to go. Martinez al Avenue, in Corona. On April 9, 1911 was a fixture on this corner for the next he married Elsa Bender. At the age of 31, 50 years.

After enjoying retirement, he passed he owned his own pharmacy and was a husband. Sons Edwin and Charles fol- away at his Bayside home in March 1970 at the age of 90. Today his pharmacy on lowed in 1912 and 1913.

Next door to his pharmacy was an this traffic-heavy corner is a superette. Q

thinking, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said at his daily press conference.

Boone, as expected, said that the injuries are an opportunity for “next man up” and outfielder Clint Frazier has certainly taken advantage of his playing time with good hitting.

Frazier was known for his long flaming red hair — reminiscent of Mick Hucknall, the lead singer of the ’80s British group Simply Red — when he was acquired in the July 2016 deal that sent reliever Andrew Miller to the Cleveland Indians.

The Yankees make a big deal over grooming when it comes to both facial hair and the length of one’s locks. Frazier has complied by cutting his hair but working in a “punk” crew cut over his ears. No one from upper management has bothered him about it yet, he told me.

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has been following his counterpart in Queens, Mets rookie first baseman Pete Alonso, from afar. “I watched a replay of the long home run that he hit in Atlanta on Thursday,” he said. “Wow!” That is high praise coming from a man who is renowned for his own prodigious homers.

Judge said he is looking forward to meeting Alonso during the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium June 10 and 11. “I heard that he’s a Q really good guy,” Judge said.
