Katz-CabĂĄn recount may take 3 weeks Ballot-by-ballot scrutiny is about 22 percent complete, says BOE

by Michael Shain Editor

T

he meticulous recount of more than 90,000 paper ballots cast in last month’s district attorney primary will take at least a week longer than first predicted.

A lawyer for the city Board of Elections on Wednesday told a special judge overseeing the recount of the election between insurgent Tiffany CabĂĄn and Borough President Melinda Katz that the board “hopedâ€? to finish by July 31.

That would extend the recount — which began last Monday — from two weeks as first thought to three.

The BOE has never been faced with a recount larger than 30,000 ballots, officials said, which made estimating the workload difficult.

So far, four of the borough’s 18 Assembly districts have been recounted — 20,000 ballots in all or about 22 percent of the total, a spokeswoman for the BOE said Wednesday.

Because the count began with the election districts in Eastern Queens, Katz’s strongest area, the first tallies are expected show her in the lead.

The count will work its way across the county toward the west, including Astoria, Long Island City and Jackson Heights, the areas that had generally been voting for CabĂĄn.

The process of reviewing PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN 90,000 ballots cast last month is taking longer than first thought. “I caution all of you to wait until the end of the process,â€? CabĂĄn’s chief lawyer, Jerry Goldfeder, told reporters Monday morning. “Until we have finished all 18 Assembly districts, we will not know the result.â€?

On Monday, it took only about 20 minutes for the first dispute to break out between

observers for the two campaigns.

A ballot had been marked for CabĂĄn but was disqualified because the voter had also written in the margins of the ballot.

It was an indication of the trench warfare that lay ahead in the contentious recount.

hurst), one of several lawmakers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d backed CabĂĄn and showed up Monday morning to watch the recount begin, characterized the ballot review process as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ordeal.â&#x20AC;?

More than 700 voting machines used in the last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election were opened and the paper ballots removed and sorted last week.

In a shopping mall in Middle Village that once housed Toys R Us and Kmart, a small army of election workers, lawyers, legal clerks and campaign volunteers are gathered to count by hand, election district by election district, all the ballots cast on primary day.

The last count indicated that Katz led CabĂĄn by just 16 votes, a paper-thin margin that triggered the recount.

The recounting is structured as a three-step process with several checks along the way.

The raw number of ballots are counted at one table, the votes on each are recorded at a second table and the results confirmed at a third.

Each table is manned by two employees of the BOE and watched by two observers, one from each campaign.

The ballots themselves are boxed and stored in a locked room every night and brought out the next morning.

The tallies on all three worksheets, the BOEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the two observersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, must agree before the ballots are returned to the vault. Q

Little League softball state champs!

Our Ozone Howard ladies tear it up, aiming for World Series

by Michael Shain Editor

Houston, the Bulldogs have landed.

T he Ozone Howa rd Lit tle League Major Team stormed its way to the New York State Championship with remarkable ease last Sunday — beating the Nor th Shore, LI, team 6-1 in the tournament’s final game last Sunday.

The Bulldogs were nearly perfect in the four-game championship series in upstate Fishkill, giving up just one run in 24 innings.

Next stop: the Eastern regional championships in Bristol, Conn.

The first game is set for Saturday and will be televised on ESPN Plus.

The team’s success has come as no surprise to the parents.

“These girls have been playing together since they were nine,” said Maria DeStefano, who has one daughter on the 12-year-old squad, called the Major Team, and another on the 10-year-old squad, called the Minor Team.

“They all come from different

The players maintain their friendships even in the off-season.

“If one of them gets an honor in school, they all show up for the ceremony,” she said. “They really have each other’s backs.”

Apparently, the 11 members of the teams also share something else, a serious competitiveness.

“They hate to lose,” said DeStefano. “It does not go over well with them. They play to win.”

Rockaway to Rome for chef of future Winner of competitive cook-off got a week at Italian culinary school

Kayla Jenkins rides the trains two hours a day from her home in Far Rockaway to Food and Fi na nce High School Midtown Manhattan and back.

N o t s u rprisingly, the eight-hour f light f rom JFK to Italy — a trip she’d won in a highly competitive cooking contest last spring — was “not that bad,” she said.

Kayla, 17, and her teammate, Citaly Hernandez of the Bronx, won the cook-off

with a dish called Palline di Polenta Fritte Bolognese — polenta balls in Bolognese sauce.

First prize, courtesy of Colavita, the It alia n spe c i a l t y fo o d maker and sponsor of the contest, was a we ek-lo ng stint at an Italian culina r y school outside Rome.

“At home, I have to say I’m not open to a lot of different things.

“Raw fish?

‘Oh, no. I’m not eating that.’

“But there, I was eating lamb, which I never had, and raw fish,” she said.

Cou rse work included

classes in Ancient Roman cuisine (“no salt for some reason, but a lot of pepper”); cheese making; chocolate; pi z z a m a k i ng ; a n d , of course, making pasta from scratch.

At night, she and her teammate ate at top-shelf restaurants in Rome, Perugia and Termoli.

plates. And they kept coming out so fast.

“I don’t know if I’m up to that,” said the future chef.

Since returning home in early July, Kayla, the middle of five kids — two brothers, two sisters — is the unaccustomed center of attention in her family, she said.

“All they want to talk about is Italy, Italy, Italy,” Jenkins Q said. “I want to go back.”

Hurricane Sandy cleanup never ends Hamilton Beach house collapses; purchase of damaged homes OKed

by Michael Shain Editor

Some 30 homes in Old Howard Beach and Ramblersville severely damaged in Hurricane Sandy took one step closer to the wrecking ball this week.

Most of the homes were bought from their private owners by the city after it was determined that they could not be rebuilt sufficiently to withstand another sizable storm, On Monday, the borough board — the advisory panel made up of the borough president, Queens’ City Council members and the heads of the borough’s 14 community boards — approved a plan to turn the properties into buffer zones against the rising waters of Jamaica Bay. Meanwhile, an u noccupied house located at the end of Russell Street in Hamilton Beach partially collapsed into the water.

Half a dozen fire engines and rescue vehicles responded Monday afternoon to an emergency call from neighbors that the underpinning of the grey, two-story house had crumbled at the bulkhead on

A house at the foot of Russell Street, left, is to be demolished after falling into the water this week. Also, nearly 30 other homes nearby — including the house at right — are closer to being torn down after borough officials approved a plan to turn the properties into wetlands for storm protection. PHOTOS COURTESY MELISSA ROJAS, LEFT, AND BY MICHAEL SHAIN Hawtree Basin and the back half of the house had fallen in the water.

The owner of the house is listed in city property records as First Choice Holdings Inc., a Brooklynbased real estate investment company. First Choice acquired the house in 2016, according to the

records, four years after Sandy devastated Hamilton Beach.

The house had been in poor repair and unoccupied since before Sandy, according Betty Bratton, chairwoman of Community Board 10.

The city Buildings Department

on Tuesday put an emergency demolition order on the house.

It issued an aggravated violation to the building owner for failure to maintain the home in a code-compliant manner, a spokeswoman said.

The next-door neighbor filed a

complaint on July 4 with the Buildings Department complaining the house had started to lean on the adjacent building, according to city records.

The collapse was a reminder that the aftereffects of Sandy are still being felt in South Queens neighborhoods.

The plan approved the same day by the Borough Board covers more than 74 properties that had been bought by the city in the years after the storm.

Most of the properties are in the Rockaways.

But about 30 are in the areas in and around Howard Beach, said Bratton.

Those homes border on Hawtree Basin, including one on 99th Street and two others on 160th Avenue.

The homes have been unoccupied and sealed since being bought by the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development with funds provided by both the federal and ctiy governments.

“The bulk of those properties are going to be turned into wetlands” under the control of the city Parks Department, Bratton said. Q

Work starts on FMCP accessibility project

St. Helen burglarized again For the second time in four months, St. Helen Church in Howard Beach has been burglarized.

Surveillance cameras show a lone man walking around the rectory of the church on 83rd Street in the Rockwood section late Sunday night.

Church staff reported the burglar did not take anything from the area where he was

seen, according to police.

The parish released a photo of the burglar in hopes of identifying him Police are still seeking a couple who forced open the doors of the sanctuary last April and reportedly stole several hundred dollars from boxes used for votivecandle donations.

City officials broke ground last Wednesday on a $4.5 million improvement project aimed at making Flushing Meadows Corona Park more accessible.

Funded by Mayor de Blasio, the work is part of the Parks Without Borders program, which is focused on improving the areas where green spaces meet surrounding neighborhoods — park entrances, edges and spaces adjacent to parks.

Nominated for PWB by area residents, the FMCP project will reconstruct the entrance of the park at 111th Street between 53rd and 56th avenues. Improvements will include a reconstructed central entrance plaza, new sidewalks, wider pedestrian routes and an expanded planting area. The new, accessible Henry Hudson entrance will welcome visitors and lead them directly to the Unisphere, a focal point of Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

The project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2020.

“Flushing Meadows Corona Park is an incredible recreational resource for residents of Queens, and home to some of our city’s most recognizable landmarks,” Parks Department Mitchell Silver said in a pre-

Every player is a hit with no errors All-Star game day and Home-Run Derby for American Softball league

by Michael Shain Editor

In the American Softball League, the numbers on the players’ uniform are never duplicated.

No two players ever get the same number, said Randy Novick, founder and president of the league.

It is a sign of everyone’s uniqueness, he explained.

The seven-year-old league for special needs and autistic adults hosts softball games every Saturday during the su m mer at Vit o L o ca s cio Field on Cross Bay Boulevard.

“Ever y t i me someone new joined the league, we gave them a n ew nu m b e r,” said Nov ick , below, umpiring behind home plate. “So I just kept upping the number.”

It is now a common site to see players wearing uniform numbers approaching 200, Novick said, a measure of how many players have signed up Q and played in the league since 2012.

Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch, gets the ball back from catcher Hal. American Softball, the league for special needs and autistic adults, reached the halfway point of its season last week.

Apartment plan on Hillside Developer seeks 93 units in Jamaica Estates

A Westbury, LI developer has unveiled plans for a seven-story apartment building on the site of a distinctive-looking but rundown former medical office on Hillside Avenue.

Piermont Properties has an application to build a new structure at 188-11 Hillside Ave., which is on the north side of Hillside in Jamaica Estates.

The story was first reported this week

by New York YIMBY, a website that covers news of the city’s real estate industry.

The building, if approved, will replace the old Hillside SurgiCare Center, which specialized in outpatient surgical procedures. It was built in 2000. The gate to its east parking lot is closed, and the trees and shrubs that sit in front appeared to need some trimming during a visit on Tuesday morning The Chronicle was unable to contact officials of Piermont Properties prior to its publication deadline on Wednesday.

The architect is EDI International of Manhattan.

The four-page application, which can be viewed on the city’s Department of Buildings website at nyc.gov/dob, was filed on July 10.

The structure is proposed to be 70 feet high with 93 residential units, with 7,1621

P Mr. Mayor – please give up!

EDITORIAL

AGE

hile running for re-election in 1969 Mayor John Lindsay called being mayor of New York “the second toughest job in America.” Three years later in 1972, Lindsay launched a brief and unsuccessful bid for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination. He came in second place in the Arizona caucus and fifth place in the Florida primary.

After being accused of neglecting local problems including protestors from Forest Hills opposed to a low-income housing project in their neighborhood, Lindsay abandoned his presidential dreams.

Sound familiar? After Saturday’s blackout on the West Side of Manhattan, calls for de Blasio to abandon his bid grew louder. He spent the day ironically enough in Waterloo, Iowa. Campaigning far from an airport with a direct flight back to the city, de Blasio drove four hours to Chicago, spending the night there before returning home Sunday. He was able to get in an interview with Meet the Press prior to hopping on the plane and arriving more than twelve hours after Con Ed had the problems fixed. But not before Governor Cuomo made clear he was on top of the situation stating, “New Yorkers want to know that the person they are paying to be in charge is in charge.”

Adding to the bleak outlook of his campaign, de Blasio

raised only $1.1 million since launching his campaign in May. Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Ind. raked in $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, including $2.35 million from New York state residents alone!

It’s one thing for the mayor of a small city with a population of 102,000 to run for mayor. The greatest city in the world deserves a full-time mayor. With more than 8.5 million residents, 300,000 municipal employees and always being a potential terrorist target, we need a leader available 24/7. In his first term, the tabloids would point out all the times de Blasio showed up late for events. But at least he would show up! Can’t do that if he is spending weekends 1,000 miles away in Waterloo, Iowa. With more than twenty candidates, a serious run for president is a full-time job between fundraising, strategizing and campaigning. When trying to do two full-time jobs, the likely result is failure at both.

Even with what many considered a successful debate performance last month, de Blasio’s poll numbers continue to hover at 1 percent. Just as Napoleon met his ultimate defeat to the British at Waterloo, Belgium, Mayor de Blasio needs to come to grips with his losing battle for the 2020 Democratic nomination and make Waterloo, Iowa his final campaign stop.

Basic income?

Dear Editor: One Democratic candidate for the White House, Mr. Andrew Yang, wants to establish a Universal Basic Income in this country by giving $1,000 a month to every adult. I think that we have to include one condition: All payments stop (for life!) if that person commits a serious law violation. This limitation can dramatically reduce crime.

Local ICE raids Dear Editor: This past weekend President Trump said he was going to follow through with the ICE raids that he previously had canceled. Both of the New York 24-hour news radio stations broadcast the story as if it was one of the worst things this racist president could possibly do. They didn’t mention the fact that ICE was looking for illegals who had already broken the law and had already lost their court cases. Those ICE arrests never materialized.

On Monday these same two station’s broadcasters, sounding sad and dejected, announced the raids didn’t happen. Such is the state of liberal radio in New York.

Utility bill is smart

I

magine having to pay the city thousands of dollars to repair water line damage that you didn’t cause.

Well, that’s what many homeowners on 188th Street in Fresh Meadows have had to go through. A probe commissioned by the city Department of Environmental Protection found that the pipe damage on the homeowners’ properties was caused by stray electric current from disconnected Verizon cables. The utility hasn’t admitted responsibility, but earlier this year it did offer to reimburse the homeowners for the repair costs, as long as they agreed to release it of all claims over the damage.

Whatever the affected 188th Street residents decide to do, it’s our view that there needs to be a fairer way to resolve dilemmas like theirs.

With our high property taxes, owning a house in Queens is already way too expensive. Homeowners should not have to pay for damage they didn’t cause. That’s why we urge Gov. Cuomo to sign state Sen. John Liu and Assemblyman David Weprin’s legislation (S4118C/A5454) addressing the problem.

The common-sense bill, which the state Legislature passed last month, would make utilities pay for the repair costs of damage that the city DEP finds them responsible for.

Mental health awareness

Belmont Arena Station

Dear Editor: Recently we’ve been reading sad stories about police officers committing suicide. At the same time I notice almost every day that when someone cries, especially a man, it is described as “he broke down and cried.” This needs to stop and we can all stop it now.

Crying is a “break-through” not a “breakdown.” It is a legitimately healthy way of showing feelings, but we use the shaming expression of a breakdown, which makes it worse. Is it any wonder that mostly men numb out, get violent or as we are seeing hurting themselves?

I would like to challenge everyone to change the narrative to reframe how we see things like we have with so many others: Stop using the term breakdown, encourage the expression of feelings, stop shaming especially men. Please stop the toxicity. Just try it, nothing to lose is there?

Dear Editor: Something was missing from “Arena critics get a new LIRR station” (Michael Gannon, July 11). Will the cost for LIRR tickets at the new Elmont Belmont Islanders Arena Station be priced at Zone 3 or more expensive Zone 4?

Will thousands of nearby Queens residents who might use this new LIRR station be offered any weekday Atlantic Pilot or weekend City Zone discount tickets? Many Queens elected officials previously lobbied for a park-and-ride lot that would be served by express buses. They could bring constituents from Eastern Queens directly to jobs in Manhattan. There is no mention of this.

What about Nassau Inter County Express, NYC Transit and private bus operators, who may establish new routes for serving the new Belmont Arena. Will this new LIRR station also include a buses terminal to accommodate NICE buses, NYC Transit buses, MTA buses and private bus charter operators who may

C M SQ page 11 Y K

establish new routes for serving the Islanders Belmont Arena?

There are thousands of reverse-commuters from NYC who travel from either Flushing or Jamaica to jobs or schools in Nassau County via NICE Bus. Using the MetroCard with a free transfer from the NYC Transit subway to NICE Bus, this only costs $2.75. They ride the bus rather than more expensive LIRR. The same will be true for many of the promised 3,000 plus jobs at the Islanders arena, hotel, retail, restaurants and conference center, who will be dependent upon bus service to access job opportunities. In many cases, they don’t own a car and can’t afford LIRR premium fares. How is the Empire State Development Corporation planning for establishment of these future services? Will the developer or MTA pay for these transit improvements?

Taxpayers, commuters and elected officials deserve answers to these questions.

Concerts are about 90 minutes each. Rain or shine.

Our southern border Dear Editor: The crisis on our southern border is easily explained. Historically, this nation has never wanted or officially encouraged a large influx of nonwhite immigrants from Latin America, so we’ve never invested in the infrastructure needed to accommodate a massive migration of people from those areas. Our main priority was to encourage and welcome European immigrants. Comparing historic European immigration to that of Latin America is like comparing a deluge to a trickle. There is no welcoming symbol, like the Statue of Liberty, on our southern border; there are walls and barbed wire.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, millions of European immigrants entered this country, reaching upwards to 450,000 per year. This nation provided the accommodating infrastructure to process this vast number of immigrants, such as, the facilities at Ellis Island with its security, medical and administrative staffs. The will, effort and efficiency it took back then to accomplish this tremendous immigration task was impressive; therefore, it’s incredulous that this nation today, with its wealth, access to 21st century management systems and record keeping technologies, quakes at an “invasion” of 7,000 migrants, has overcrowded detention centers and is administratively overwhelmed.

The intransigent mindset against the entry of Latin Americans continues, judging from comments made by the president, such as, “Mexico is not sending its best people, and some of them are criminals.” Well, Europe did not send its best people, and some were criminals. However, they were able through hard work, education and opportunity to improve their condition and to contribute to this nation’s progress. Trump also showed his preference when he posed the question, “Why can’t we get more people from countries like Norway?” Does this mean if we had an influx of immigrants from Norway, Denmark and Sweden, we’d find a way to process their entry? I guess we aren’t really “full,” as he has claimed.

The disturbing televised images of our treatment of Latin American immigrants, particularly the children, are an embarrassment to this nation. The farcical handwringing, pretense of an administrative logjam and pejorative racebased immigration policies must end.

Dear Editor: Your July 11 report: “Queens residents in these nabes will live longest.” As a near-lifelong resident of Queens, I’m delighted to learn about the high life expectancy rate in many of the borough’s neighborhoods. But my neighborhood, Kew Gardens Hills, wasn’t cited in the city Health Department’s 2017 Summary of Vital statistics. Is that because it’s considered part of the Greater Flushing area (84.7 percent years of life expectancy) or Fresh Meadows and Briarwood (84.4 percent).

How does the Health Department explain the disparity between the Rockaways’ residents

Melinda Katz

76.9 years of life expectancy at birth and the 86.3 years of average life expectancy for residents of Elmhurst, Corona, Astoria and Woodside? Is it due to different income levels, lifestyles or availability of healthcare services? But Queens outshines NYC as a whole. NYC residents have an average life expectancy of 81.2 years, notes the Health Dept. (N.Y. Post, 06/04/17). That tops the 78.7 years of life expectancy for most Americans (Smithsonianmag.com, 12/03/18).

This means that NYC, for all of its problems, is a very healthy place to live, compared to many other parts of the U.S. Richard Reif Kew Gardens Hills

Dear Editor: Howard Nelman’s letter about Democrats being responsible for the rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes was hilarious! Wait, he was serious?

Republican Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee once again signed a proclamation declaring July 13 as Nathan Bedford Forrest Day in the state, honoring the Klu Klux Klan grand wizard. Yet Democrats are the party of anti-Semitism? Trump declares that white supremacists chanting “Jews will not replace us” are good people. Yet Democrats are the party of anti-Semitism? GOP House Minority Whip Steve Scalise attended and spoke at a 2002 convention of the White Supremacist European American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by David Duke.

You remember Duke, right? The Holocaustdenying former grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. Yet Democrats are the party of anti-Semitism?

The Anti-Defamation League has tracked anti-Semitic incidents since 1979, the biggest all-time annual jump was last year, when the tally climbed 57 percent to 1,986. In the last two years, anti-Semites and white supremacists have become more emboldened. Hmmm, what happened two years ago? Trump gets elected?

Oh, that’s right, Hillary’s Emails!

CB 5 votes down proposed bus lane DOT plan for Fresh Pond Road sees 28-6 count against at meeting

by David Russell Associate Editor

Community Board 5 voted 28-6 to reject a Department of Transportation plan for a bus lane on the southbound side of Fresh Pond Road from Bleecker Street to Putnam Avenue from 3 to 7 p.m. at last Wednesday’s meeting.

The board later voted in favor of the DOT analyzing alternatives, including retiming traffic lights and consolidating bus stops.

The board’s Transportation Committee previously voted in support of the bus lane project last month.

Before the vote was taken Wednesday, CB 5 member Kathy Masi mentioned the Woodhaven Boulevard bus lane.

“It works beautifully down at Cross Bay Boulevard,” she said. “But from where we are from Eliot Avenue up to maybe Myrtle or Jamaica Avenue, it’s a nightmare. It’s not what the DOT refers to as an ongoing construction project. It’s actually an accident waiting to happen ...

So that’s why we’re very, very reluctant about DOT projects right now.”

Another member voiced concern that, “If you’re going to take away one side of the street parking it’s going to be impossible. Just because you’re adding on the side street, all you’re doing is taking away non-paid parking ... and those residents that would never otherwise park there, they’re losing those spots.”

CB 5 member Richard Huber spoke of its effect in Brooklyn, saying, “We were told that they had an entire 20 percent increase in traffic speed. Which means we go from 4 miles an hour to 5 miles an hour.”

He added sarcastically, “We’re going to be flying.”

A spokesperson for the DOT said, “We

Community Board 5 voted against a plan proposed by the Department of Transportation for a bus lane on Fresh Pond Road. The Q58 is one line that sees high ridership numbers along its FILE PHOTO daily route. are disappointed by CB 5’s full board vote on DOT’s critical fix to transit and congestion issues along nine blocks on Fresh Pond Road that came despite their Transportation Committee’s previous vote in support of the project in June. The fact remains that cars, buses and first responders currently crawl southbound during late afternoon and early evening r ush hour between Bleecker Street and 67th Ave. Buses currently move at 3 miles per hour — that’s slower than the average person walks.

DOT’s design for this critical corridor will make traveling faster for all users, while creating a net gain of metered parking and

additional loading zones to support the vitality of local businesses. It’s a win for businesses and especially a win for the 30,000 daily bus riders using this route and countless motorists heading to this commercial corridor and local neighborhoods.”

Days before the vote, Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) wrote to the DOT requesting the organization suspend its plans for the bus lane.

“After meeting with the DOT Queens Borough staff on multiple occasions and hearing from the small business owners and residents of Fresh Pond Road, I believe this bus lane proposal has been rushed into existence

rather than first implementing less drastic traffic-calming measures,” he wrote.

Holden said when he first learned of the proposal in April he requested a walkthrough of the location and that during the walkthrough and a subsequent meeting at the DOT Queens Borough headquarters he made suggestions including eliminating select parking spots in bottleneck areas, widening the lanes by the bus depot, adding tur ning lanes at select intersections, synchronizing the traffic lights, consolidating bus stops and working with the local precinct to increase enforcement of parking violations.

“These are simple measures that should be taken first to see if they have the desired effect on traffic f low,” Holden wrote. “If after one year these changes do not produce the desired outcome, then we can consider implementing a bus lane with more limited hours.”

Holden said if the bus lane must be installed he suggests reducing the hours of operation from 4 to 7 p.m.

According to the lawmaker, he met with Fresh Pond business owners, residents and the DOT Queens Borough staff on July 8 and the group was resoundingly opposed with the primary concern being the elimination of parking in front of stores during bus lane operation hours.

“This could be detrimental to dozens of small businesses and consumers that are already facing hardships,” he wrote.

Early in Wednesday’s meeting, CB 5 district manager Gary Giordano said, “Yes, we are advisory but to be honest with you there aren’t too many times where we haven’t gotten our way because we make sure that we are as correct as we possibly can with regard to any matters that we are Q making recommendations on.”

State tuition aid for Dreamers For the latest news visit qchron.com

1,500 undocumented students in first two weeks

by Michael Shain Editor

Applications for undocumented college students to receive state aid for the first time are on now online.

More than 1,500 applications for aid under the Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act were filed within the first two weeks, said a spokeswoman for the Higher Education Services Corporation, the agency in charge of administering the plan.

The program, named for the late state senator from Jackson Heights, provides financial aid for college to students who went to high school in New York, where immigration status is not tracked.

It is virtually the same aid that all other students are eligible for, including the Tuition Assistance Program, called TAP,

and Excelsior Scholarships.

The new plan also allows undocumented parents to save for college for their children in tax-free 529 accounts.

The application treads a thin line, asking students about their immigration or citizenship status.

But it does not require those without legal status to provide a home address.

The new tuition-aid law will affect an estimated 146,000 young people who were educated in New York public schools but were not eligible to receive financial aid under state law.

The new law offering aid to undocumented students is part of a larger effort to normalize life for people uncertain immigration status.

The Legislature also passed a new law at

around the same time that would allow undocumented adults to apply for driver’s licenses in New York.

It also passed new legislation reducing maximum sentences for certain misdemeanors that would have exposed undocumented people to deportation.

“The late Sen. Peralta was an early outspoken champion of this cause, and he would be proud to know that this day has come,” City University of New York Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez said when applications went online.

Peralta died last November of complications from leukemia.

So far, printed applications are not available, only online at www2.cuny.edu/financial-aid/applying-for-financial-aid/joseQ peralta-new-york-state-dream-act/.

The state Legislature named the Dreamer tuition-aid law after the late Sen. Jose Peralta, FILE PHOTO above, an early supporter.

‘We get one chance every 10 years’ 2020 Census discussed at Borough Hall; scam prevention tips given

by David Russell Associate Editor

The 2020 Census will determine how $675 billion is disseminated every year, funding programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Highway Planning and Construction, Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to name a few.

“We get one chance every 10 years to make sure we get the data correct,” Jeff Behler, director of the New York Regional Office for the Census Bureau, said at Borough Hall Monday.

Borough President Melinda Katz noted the work of the Queens Complete Count Committee, an autonomous and bipartisan group of community leaders who identify possible obstacles and their solutions in ensuring an accurate count, and said how they’re trying to get the community to trust them.

“I do think it’s going to be an uphill battle,” she said. “Especially a lot of languages are just not on your list ... so we’re not only telling them that it’s safe, now we’re saying ... Just trust us you’re answering the right answer in the right place.”

Katz asked Behler what would happen if the numbers come back and are “clearly wrong.”

Behler replied, “This is really it. This is the official count. We get one chance every 10 years.” He did say that there is a special

Jeff Behler, director of the New York Regional Office for the Census Bureau, speaks at BorPHOTO BY DAVID RUSSELL ough Hall. program if cities choose to fund another count for the Census.

Community Board 1 District Manager Florence Koulouris spoke about what she believes to be the lack of an accurate count.

“We were completely undercounted to the

point that our Census count shows that we were going from 210,000 citizens to 177,000 citizens in one of the fastest-growing communities in the world,” she said.

Koulouris added, “There is no way from what you’re saying here at this table tonight our numbers are going to be correct. I can tell you that right now.”

She said that Behler was informing the community boards on how to give out information but that most boards only have three or four people working for them.

“We need you to give us the tools,” Koulouris said.

Katz mentioned that the boards and QCCC are trying to make up for what the Census Bureau can’t do “because we know our neighborhoods better than anyone else.”

There are several ways to respond to the Census. For the first time, people can fill it out online. And, in another new wrinkle, it can be done over the phone on a toll free number. The Census has had a toll free number for years but had never collected data over the phone.

Paper copies are still an option as well.

Behler acknowledged that residents may have concerns about filling out the Census, saying, “We don’t care whether they’re here legally or illegally. We care that they get counted.”

He added, “By law we cannot release infor-

mation that would identify an individual or a household. Period.”

Not even the Department of Homeland Security can access the data collected. He did say that the more questions left unanswered on the Census, the better chance there is that someone from the count will come knocking on the door.

Behler also gave advice on avoiding scams, which he said have been circulating.

“We never ask for money,” he said. “Never.

We never ask for Social Security numbers. We never ask for bank account or credit card information. If you see that in relation to the Census, it’s a scam.”

The Census Bureau will be opening four offices in Queens and will need clerical staff and supervisors.

The majority of the positions will be for short-term temporary work, for about two to three months.

The jobs in New York City pay a minimum of $25 per hour.

Those looking to apply for work can visit 2020census.gov/jobs.

Census Day is April 1, 2020. Census takers will visit households that don’t respond.

Apportionment counts will be sent to the president by the end of the year and redistricting counts are sent to the states by Q March 31, 2021.

Investigations of Door death are continuing Worker, 67, killed after being snared by restaurant’s basement elevator

Ugly rampage in Oz. Park Police are looking for a man, believed to be a resident of the homeless facility in Ozone Park, who went on a rampage last week smashing the windshields of at least two cars parked near the shelter on 101st Avenue.

Police suspect the vandalism was done by a resident who was locked out of the shelter after closing time, according to Assem-

blyman Mike Miller (D-Woodhaven).

Ozone Park Residents Block Association Facebook page posted these photos of the damage.

According to the civic group, shelter administrators declined to provide police with footage from its security cameras without a subpoena. No arrests have been made.

Citi Bike expanding into Queens nabes Five communities targeted in wide-ranging four-borough, five-year plan

by Michael Gannon Editor

Five Queens communities will be included in a five-year plan to extend the availability of Citi Bike.

Sunnyside, Maspeth, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and Corona will have the expanded service under a plan announced in the South Bronx Tuesday by Mayor de Blasio and Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg.

The blue two-wheelers right now are available in Queens in parts of Astoria and Long Island City. Ridgewood is slated for expansion in the coming months as part of the city’s plans to offset traffic from the L train subway tunnel repair program.

The expansion also will extend the bikes’ coverage into the South Bronx, deeper into Brooklyn and to all of Manhattan.

“Even more communities will have access to this low-cost, sustainable mode of transportation,” de Blasio said in a statement issued by his office. “With double the territory and triple the number of bikes over the next few years, Citi Bike will become an even better option for travel around New York City.”

Several Queens politicians joined the mayor in welcoming the expansion plans.

Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) will see more of the kiosks in his dis-

Van Bramer said he will push to get all of Woodside covered.

“Investing in Citi Bike and improving cycling infrastructure, including creating interconnected protected bike lanes across all

five boroughs, is essential to the long-term sustainability of our streets,” he said.”

“The program also helps reduce the number of motorists on the road and helps alleviate crowding on subways and buses,” Dromm said. “It is no wonder that Jackson Heights and Elmhurst have been clamoring for Citi

Bike for years.”

Assemblyman Michael Den Dekker (D-East Elmhurst) also said in the de Blasio press release that he hopes it will expand even farther into his district in the future.

But not everyone is popping the champagne corks just yet.

The Citi Bike program has come under fire for what critics say is a lack of service in minority neighborhoods, most recently in a study commissioned by New York Communities for change.

C o u n c i l wo m a n A d r i e n n e A d a m s (D-Jamaica) recently co-signed a letter to Trottenberg along with Councilmen Ritchie Tor res (D-Bronx) and Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) seeking more information from the programs operators.

“City Council members want to be sure Citi Bike expansion includes low-income neighborhoods,” Adams said this week on her Twitter page.

The Mayor’s Office said as part of its agreement, Lyft has also continued to expand Citi Bike’s transportation equity efforts, including the Reduced Fare Bike Share program. There are now more than 3,300 New Yorkers who live in NYCHA developments or receive SNAP benefits who take advantage of a discounted Citi Bike membership for only Q $5 a month.

188 St. rally for utility responsibility bill Homeowners join state lawmakers in urging Gov. Cuomo to sign legislation

by Ryan Brady Editor

The city billed 188th Street homeowners in Fresh Meadows thousands of dollars for water pipe damage on their properties. One senior citizen had to pay $10,700.

But oddly enough, the city did not ultimately conclude the residents were responsible for the damage. A Department of Environmental Protection report identified the problem’s source as stray electric current from disconnected Verizon cables.

Still, the homeowners had to pay the bills.

Outraged, they found allies in their state legislators. Sen. John Liu (D-Bayside) and Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Fresh Meadows) introduced bills in their chambers, S4118B and A5254, respectively, that would force utilities like Verizon to pay for damage that the DEP finds them responsible for.

Fighting for the bill in Albany, Liu and Weprin allied with Brooklyn legislators who have constituents who have undergone the same issues with a utility. While the legislation was making its way through the process, Verizon sent let t er s t o t he 188t h St re et homeowners.

While not technically admitting responsibility for the damage, the company said it would reimburse the residents for the repair costs as long as they agreed to sign a release of

State Sen. John Liu, at lectern, speaks at a press conference urging Gov. Cuomo to sign legislation he helped pass that would make utilities pay for damage that the city determines them PHOTO BY RYAN BRADY responsible for. claims against the company over the damage.

The company told the Chronicle any future leaks would be evaluated and paid for. But residents took issue with the letter, not wanting to have to go through the same process if the problem reappears.

They may soon have a solution.

With the Legislature having passed the LiuWeprin bill, the two lawmakers joined other area leaders and 188th Street homeowners at a rally last Thursday to call on Gov. Cuomo to sign the legislation.

“This bill, at the end of the day, is about making sure that companies are responsible

for their own equipment, supplies and infrastructure,” Liu said. “And it’s about accountability. And it’s even moreso about proactive measures.”

Weprin said the bill being codified into law should be a major victory for middle-class homeowners in New York City.

“Homeowners should not have to worry about laying out the money or be responsible when it’s clearly the utility’s fault,” said the assemblyman. He grew up on 188th Street, and much of the road is co-named for his father, the late Assembly Speaker Saul Weprin.

Assemblyman Ed Braunstein (D-Bayside), who helped pass the bill as chairman of the Cities Committee, said it’s “clearly the right thing to do.

“Middle-class homeowners cannot afford the litigation costs to sue a deep-pocketed utility to repair the water lines and they need an easier way,” he said.

In an email to the Chronicle last Friday, the Governor’s Office said it is reviewing the legislation.

The 188th Street homeowners who had to pay for repairs for damage they didn’t cause are among the plaintiffs seeking damages in a class-action lawsuit filed in Brooklyn state Supreme Court against Verizon in May. Other plaintiffs include homeowners in Brooklyn Q and other streets in Queens.

NYPD: Suspect is known as Frederico

Forest Hills Green Team Sheila Shapiro, left, Judy Berman, Forest Hills Green Team Co-chairman Mark Laster, Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi and FHGT Cochairman Dan Miner at a Love Your Block event at Yellowstone Boulevard and Austin Street by the Long Island Rail Road underpass.

On May 19, the organization had a Love

The organization also worked with Metropolitan and Forest Hills high schools to help make the grounds into a community garden for educational purposes.

The police are asking for the public’s help to identify a man who used a power drill to attack an Astoria store owner.

The suspect is known as Frederico.

Around 7:20 p.m. on June 22 in the 41st Grocery Store at 30-05 41 St., the suspect was arguing with a woman who works there, according to the NYPD. Cops said that when the owner tried to stop the dispute, Frederico attacked him with a Dewalt power drill before fleeing the scene.

The attack left the owner with three lost teeth and a laceration to his mouth.

He was treated at Mount Sinai Queens Hospital.

Police describe the suspect as white or Hispanic; 37 years old; 5 feet, 10 inches tall; and 150 pounds. He has a medium build, blue eyes, a light complexion and long, blonde, wavy hair. He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, sunglasses, shorts and white sneakers.

New York mourns 32BJ SEIU president Figueroa, of Jackson Heights, died of a heart attack last week at 57

by Ryan Brady Editor

Héctor Figueroa of Jackson Heights, president of the powerful 32BJ SEIU property services union, died of a heart attack last Thursday night. He was 57.

Born into a union family in Puerto Rico, he moved to the Bronx in 1982 and studied economics on a grant. He first became involved in SEIU in 1995, working for its Justice for Janitors initiative and then serving as the union’s director for Puerto Rico.

In 2012, he was elected president of 32BJ SEIU. The largest property services union in the country, it represents more than 175,000 workers, 70,000 of whom are in the New York City area. Its members are airport workers, porters, cleaners, maintenance workers, security officers, window cleaners, doormen and superintendents.

Figueroa is survived by his wife, Deirdre, and two children, Eric and Elena.

New York leaders issued statements in response to his surprise passing.

“Together with Héctor, we enacted New York’s nation-leading $15 minimum wage — first for fast food workers and then for all workers — and the historic $19 minimum wage for airport workers just last year,” Gov. Cuomo said. “Héctor fought for and won fairer contracts for his 163,000 mem-

“It’s impossible to put into words what Héctor meant to the men and women of 32BJ SEIU, to working people and to the labor

movement,” Mayor de Blasio said.

In recent months, Figueroa had been a major advocate for New York letting undocumented immigrants apply for driver’s licenses, a policy the state Legislature passed in June.

He was a forceful critic of the Trump administration, especially its aggressive U.S.

17 charged in Blood set bust

Makk Balla Brims accused of violent 2017 robberies Seventeen reputed members and associates of the Southeast Queens-based Makk Balla Brims set of the Bloods gang face federal charges in a litany of violent 2017 robberies, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The MBB is mainly made up of members who live in and around the South Jamaica Houses and American Towers residential complexes, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.

Those charged allegedly participated in 11 robber ies or at tempted robber ies between May 2017 and December 2017.

Authorities said the reputed MBB members and associates used or brandished guns in most of the crimes, and expected to make off with substantial amounts of cash, electronics, jewelry or narcotics.

After getting a tip about a promising victim, the gang would allegedly assemble a crew to execute a robbery, after assigning roles for the job like getaway driver, gunman and lookout.

Prosecutors listed the defendants as Andre “Goonie Dre” Barnaby, 27; Constantin “Cheese” Cheese, 31; Brandon “Barrack” Darby, 28; Antonio “Big Blood” Davis, 38; Matthew “Heddis” Elias, 36; Tyqu an “Gu n Play” Henderson, 22; Michael (also known as “Michael Davis” or “Menace”) Miles, 35; Avery “Slay”

Mitchell, 24; Nahjuan “Nas” Perry, 24; Pierre “Leeky” Raymond, 21; James “Littles” Roberson, 24; Shamel “Sha Bang” Simpkins, 32; Shawn “Dum Out” Silvera, 26; Rashawn “Shawn” Smith, 22; Kimberly “Kimmy” Thompson, 23; Latiff “La Banga” Thompson, 30; and Lawrence “Lazo” Woods, 33.

The gang is accused of robbing the Jevo Barber Shop on 170th Street in Jamaica on Sept. 23, 2017.

Miles, allegedly armed with a TEC-9 semiautomatic pistol, and Smith entered the business and took gold chains, cell phones and cash from people in the store, along w ith cash proceeds f rom the business.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said that Simpkins chose the crew members and Kimberly Thompson drove the getaway car for the barber shop robbery.

Six days later, there was a home invasion in Elmont, LI. Barnaby, Darby and Raymond allegedly broke into the home, which they believed was a marijuana stash house, while Simpkins and Silvera waited in the getaway car.

Wearing masks and brandishing guns, Darby and Raymond tied up a man in the house with an extension cord, according to prosecutors. The two defendants heated up a knife and repeatedly burned the victim’s

legs when he said he didn’t have any pot, prosecutor said.

There was another home invasion less than two weeks after that one.

On Oct. 11, Roberson, Simpkins, Kimberly Thompson and other co-conspirators robbed a North Valley Stream, LI, house where they thought a jewelry store owner kept jewelry and cash, authorities said.

Showing guns, the defendants allegedly restrained the victim’s family with zip ties.

Roberson shot the victim in the stomach before making off with jewelry and electronics, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Off ice. The victim was t reated and survived.

In at least two robberies, the MBB targeted homes where Indian flags were flying, believing that inside there would be gold and cash.

Mitchell pretended to be a deliveryman, wearing a United Parcel Service uniform to enter a house. There, he and two co-conspirators restrained two young girls at gunpoint before fleeing with electronics and jewelry.

Mitchell, Davis and Perry and other coconspirators on Nov. 19, 2017 robbed a second house with Indian flags flying outside.

Again, Mitchell wore a UPS jacket to gain entry. He shot a resident of the house Q before fleeing empty-handed.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement policies and its widely criticized response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

He had staunchly advocated for Amazon’s controversial HQ2 proposal for Long Island City, which the company dropped amid intense criticism from area activists and residents. Figueroa was disappointed by the plan’s cancellation, lamenting the jobs that it would have created and the opportunity it would have presented to organize workers at the e-commerce behemoth, which has consistently opposed its employees’ unionization attempts.

Figueroa successfully fought to get the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to raise the minimum wage to $19 an hour by 2023 for workers at LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airports.

“We are utterly devastated by the news of the passing of Héctor Figueroa, who has been a lion in our movement,” Make the Road New York Co-executive Director Javier Valdes said in a statement. “He has been a steadfast ally of community organizations like ours, and he has doggedly pursued justice for all New Yorkers.”

In accordance with the union’s constitution, 32BJ SEIU Vice President Kyle Bragg will take over the late president’s responsiQ bilities.

With a large pool of energetic and talented dancers on hand, director/choreographer Christine Breviario is bringing “Newsies The Musical” to the stage as this summer’s attraction at Holy Child Jesus Teen Drama Group in Richmond Hill. The show opens a four-performance run on Aug. 1.

The dance-heavy show is a “bucket list kind of thing for me,” Breviario said, while keeping an eye on the on-stage action during a recent rehearsal. She has been an avid fan of the movie for years.

A show like this, she said, gives dancers, normally relegated to ensemble work, the opportunity to “take on major roles and characters.”

With a cast of 40 and an additional 16 crew members, the production, the 40th for the group, continues a long-standing neighborhood tradition.

Breviario promises some unusual spins on the now-familiar show. It will be presented in an intimate, dinner-theater style (sans dinner!), with the audience seated around three sides of the stage. No one is ever far from the action. And, Breviario said, actors will “constantly break the fourth wall,” making the audience feel completely immersed.

To qualify for the show, performers must be, as the name of the group implies, between the ages of 13 and 19. As is always the case, some members of the cast are making their HCJTDG debuts, while for others it marks their final appearance before aging out.

The youngest addition to the group this year is 12-year-old Sydney McLoughlin of Richmond Hill, who will turn 13 before opening night — with little more than a week to spare, making her eligible to participate.

“I just make it,” she said. And she’s already feeling at home.

“As soon as I came down, I hung out with my friends. It’s fun to come down here every night.”

As a performer, she considers herself primarily a dancer, with more than a half dozen summer camp shows already to her credit. continued on page 27

The American Princess Cruises captain unselfconsciously bellowed “There she blows” upon first sight of a humpback whale on an afternoon cruise last Saturday.

After an hour or so of peaceful cruising, the call was more charming than cliche, and the passengers rallied to the rail.

In the distance, a carbon dioxide vapor spray flew up out of the flat, calm waters.

Soon after, the dark curve of a humpback whale lifted out of the water but disappeared.

Again, pp p g , and higher, g , it rose.

Whale Watch Cruises When: 2019 season, through Nov. 3 Where: Riis Landing, Breezy Point Entry: $52, $47 seniors, $35 children 5-7 years, under 5 free with reservation.

Group rates available.

(718) 474-0555, americanprincesscruises.com or socratessculpturepark.org

Then the humpback’s enormous body burst through, breached the water and then curved back into the patch of nutrient-rich, prey-dense water it had found. The captain would quickly spot what might have been a second whale and host a good long visit with a third before the trip was over.

The healthy composition of those waters, and decades of work to virtually end whale hunting, are the reasons the whales are once again a regular feature on the waters off of the New York metropolitan area.

Be sure to take binoculars, a strong camera lens, or at least your driving glasses, as the cruise keeps a respectful distance under “Whale SENSE” wildlife protection principles: no feeding, chasing or even altering the whales’ swim pattern.

“I live photography and I live whales,” said Basia Gray of Long Island, who shared her photos of the whales with the Chronicle. She and her husband Rich said they had seen more whales when they took the cruise in the fall.

According to Cecilia Ackerman, a naturalist at Gotham Whale, the number of sightings is a matter of luck rather than season.

One sign of hope for our troubled

“We’ve been documenting their return to our area since 2012, ” Ackerman said.

Her group’s mission is to study, advocate for

and educate people about the whales and marine mammals of New York City.

Out of 14 whale populations worldwide, nine — including New York’s — are no longer considered to be endangered. The next challenge to protect marine health in our area is getting plastic out of the water, Ackerman added. continued on page 29

Parody king coming to Forest Hills Stadium

by David Russell associate editor

Homer Simpson once said, “He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life.”

Fans haven’t grown tired of him.

Yankovic is one of four artists with a Top 40 single in four different decades. Michael Jackson, Madonna and U2 are the others.

“What’s nice is it’s slowly accruing,” Yankovic told the Chronicle about his fan base. “My tours have gotten bigger as time has gone on and I think that’s because I’ve managed to hold on to a lot of the fans that I had when I was starting out in the ’80s. And now they’re bringing their kids and in some cases their grandkids. But it’s nice because every generation discovers me in a way and finds my back catalogue and it’s nice that people have been kind of hanging in there with me.”

Yankovic is coming to Forest Hills as part of his “Strings Attached” tour.” This comes on the heels of his “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity” tour.”

“That was literally just me and my band walking out on stage and playing the songs. Because we’ve been doing these big multimedia extravaganzas for decades,” he said. “And those are fun and the fans love them and we love doing them but we thought let’s mix it up a little bit and give them something different. So we did this no-frills version of the tour which was fun in its own way because it was very intimate, but I figured if we’re going to do that, we have to go the whole other direction and do a 180. And this tour’s the most elaborate ever so this time we’re back to playing the hits. We’re doing all the costume changes. We’ve got the props, we’ve got this big LED video wall and on top of that we’ve got female background singers and a 41-piece symphony orchestra.”

Yankovic, who will be playing with the Queens Symphony Orchestra, added, “I can’t imagine I’ll ever do a show more elaborate than this one.”

He scored hits in the ’80s with “Eat It,” and “Fat,” and remained popular with “Smells Like Nirvana” and “Amish Paradise.”

Yankovic reached the Top 10 2006 when “White and Nerdy” hit No. 9 on the charts.

Yankovic said writing parodies is different now than when he rose to fame.

“It’s become more of a challenge because I can’t go for the low-hanging fruit anymore,” he said. “I can’t go for the most obvious idea because 10,000 other people will have already done that on YouTube. So it just makes me step up my game which is a good thing. It’s

healthy. It makes me think outside the box a little bit and try to come up with ideas that aren’t quite so obvious.”

Yankovic said he prefers to take his time when writing though he is able to work quickly. He wrote “Another One Rides the Bus,” in 20 minutes.

“I tend not to write quickly because I like to obsess over every little detail, every little punctuation mark,” Yankovic said.

He admitted that he realized early on that he was more successful at poking fun at other people’s work than writing his own material from scratch. “I learned my brain just isn’t wired that way,” he said. “It’s hard for me to write ver y sincere, deep, thoughtful lyrics. I’m just too much of a wise guy.”

That’s not to say, however, that he can’t give a good, straightforward performance.

Several years ago, he covered George Harrison’s “What is Life” at GeorgeFest which surprised audiences. “People think everything I do needs to be comedic and that’s not necessarily the case,” Yankovic said.

On his previous tour he covered a song each night as an encore. Among the 77 performances included straight covers from The Carpenters to The Sex Pistols.

Yankovic said it was “fun to just rock out Q and not make it inherently funny.”

Still, the experience could prove valuable to her.

Wor king on shows has taught her about team work, she said.

“You rely on your cast mates to be there for you during the show. You’re always going to have to interact with people, especially in the work place.”

She also hopes to be able to lend a hand on school plays.

Breviario suggests that tackling a show can be “a tremendous undertaking, but so worthwhile.” She’s particularly fond of working with HCJTDG. “I love teenagers,” she said. “They’re so passionate about everything.”

She thinks it’s a terrific show for this group. “It ’s theme-relat able,” she explained. “They get to play themselves,

BEAT

Home run hero Pete

by Lloyd Carroll Chronicle Contributor

By winning the Home Run Derby in Cleveland last Monday Mets rookie first baseman Pete Alonso gave the Flushing faithful a rare chance to thump their collective chests.

With the Mets out of contention for postseason baseball barring a miracle it’s understandable that Alonso, who had 30 homers going into the All-Star Game break in addition to winning the derby, will be the primary focus of the attention of both fans and the media. Granted, the Mets have another good story in infielder/ outfielder Jeff McNeil who entered the break hitting .349 and is a contender for the National League batting championship, but my guess is that he’ll be overshadowed by Alonso’s heroics.

While home runs are what have made Alonso a household name in these parts, he is not a one-dimensional slugger the way that Dave Kingman was in the 1970s. While he’ll absorb his share of strikeouts Alonso is a very good contact hitter who hits to all parts of the field quite well. As Fox broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith said about Alonso during a PhilliesMets telecast two weeks ago, “That’s why he is batting .280 and not .220!”

Although I am certain that Alonso has been deluged with lucrative endorsement deals he seems to have eschewed them in order to concentrate on baseball matters. That is a wise

decision in that it will give him time to both build his fame and thus get on the radar screen of sponsors. Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, for example, is a Pepsi-Cola endorser. When the endorsement bucks do come Alonso’s way, he really should give a percentage to Mets third baseman Todd Frazier who bestowed the nickname “The Polar Bear” on him. The odds are that Frazier, whose contract expires at the end of the season, will be traded this month. His clubhouse leadership will be sorely missed.

The million-dollar check that comes with winning the Home Run Derby more than doubled Alonso’s rookie Mets salary. To his credit, Alonso announced that he would be donating $50,000 to both the Wounded Warriors Project and to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, which raises money for families of first responders.

The last time that Mets fans were this excited about a rookie was six years ago when pitcher Matt Harvey was dominating baseball and it seemed like there wasn’t an empty seat in Citi Field when he was on the mound.

Unlike Harvey, Alonso thankfully is not a self-absorbed jerk. Like his Bronx counterpart, Judge, he is happy to engage media and fans and doesn’t need a phalanx of PR people to act as a security force to keep the hoi polloi away.

Q Let’s hope he never changes.

He had two sons, Wallace and Gilbert.

Gilbert became an accountant but Wallace, who was known by all as “Wally,” graduated the College of Pharmacy in New York in 1944 and wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. He married his longtime sweetheart Este Greenberg in 1945. Wallace heard about the new real estate development in the Bellerose-Floral Park area, where young families were moving in.

He decided to open up Chavkins Pharmacy at the corner of Hillside Avenue and 251st Street in 1948. Wallace competed with a Whalen’s Pharmacy, which was a big drug store chain at the time and had a store two blocks away. Nonetheless, his business thrived and he was a trusted

Former Jets coach Michaels dead at 89 Quarterback Matt Robinson recalls leader who turned the team around

by David Russell Associate Editor

Walt Michaels, who led the Jets to two playoff appearances in six seasons as head coach, died last Wednesday at the age of 89.

Michaels was also the defensive coordinator for the 1968 team that upset the Baltimore Colts — including his brother, Lou — in Super Bowl III. “It just saddened me because Walt was so good to me when I was in New York,” said former quarterback Matt Robinson. “I really loved the fact that he was very to the point but yet very fair in everything that he did.

He was that kind of coach.”

The Jets were a beleaguered franchise when Michaels took over, coming off consecutive 3-11 seasons. By the time he left the organization, the Jets were one win away from the Super Bowl.

“I think he made a mark on New York and made a mark with the Jets that I think those involved with him will never forget,” Robinson said.

Michaels was a standout at linebacker for the Cleveland Browns of the 1950s, making five Pro Bowls and helping the team win a pair of NFL championships.

He was on the Jets coaching staff from 1963 to 1972 and again in 1976 before being named head coach for the 1977 season.

Dwayne Crutchfield, Bob Crable, head coach Walt Michaels and Reggie McElroy at Jets training camp. Michaels, who led the Jets to the playoffs twice in six seasons as head coach, died last PHOTO COURTESY NEW YORK JETS Wednesday at the age of 89.

“When you have an old school guy like that as a head coach, a guy that played and been around for so long and was as tough as he is, I think a guy like that brings the best part of football out,” said Robinson, who was with the team from 1977 to 1979.

Robinson added, “He was about winning and putting the best players on the field to

win. And I think everybody respected that about him.”

The quarterback didn’t mind playing for a defensive-minded coach.

“To know how a defensive mind is thinking under certain circumstances, it really makes you a better quarterback,” he said.

Michaels was named 1978 NFL Coach of

the Year by UPI and Pro Football Weekly for leading the team to a f ive-game improvement and an 8-8 record.

Robinson was traded following the 1979 season after hiding an injury he suffered and then throwing an interception in overtime in the opening game of the season.

Robinson said he later called to apologize to the head coach.

“We just continued on as buddies,” he said.

On Dec. 20, 1981, the Jets beat the Packers 28-3 at Shea Stadium to earn the team’s first playoff berth in 12 years.

The following season, the team upset the Bengals and Raiders in the playoffs before losing to Miami in the AFC title game.

Michaels resigned weeks later in a move that is still debated over how much of the decision was actually his.

In 1984, he went to coach for the Donald Trump-owned New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League.

The team played a game in Jacksonville against the Bulls, led by Robinson. In the game’s final moments it looked as if the Bulls had kicked a field goal but the referee fell down and called it no good.

Robinson recalled, “Walt and I kind of nudged each other after the game and I said, ‘You got away with one.’ And he winked at Q me.”
