State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. won over 56 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary election, beating out Japneet Singh and Albert Baldeo. The race was made challenging by this year’s redistricting, which drew out Addabbo’s home and key neighborhoods. Nonetheless, his victory was decisive and he celebrated alongside his wife, Dawn, and their daughters, Arianna and Alexis, at Villa Russo in Richmond Hill.

County Legislator Josh Lafazan with 19.7 percent and community organizer Melanie D’Arrigo with 15.6 percent, along with the distant fifth-place finisher, community organizer Reema Rasool.

Zimmerman will go on to face Republican nominee George Santos in the general election, with both looking to fill the seat left open by outgoing Congressman, and gubernatorial primary third-place finisher, Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Nassau, Suffolk, Queens).

Suozzi had endorsed third-place finisher Lafazan, who was also the top money-raiser in the race, while Zimmerman received endorse-

ments from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and various current and former area elected officials.

Suozzi bested Santos in the 2020 race for the 3rd by a margin of 55.9 percent to 43.5 percent. Zimmerman and Santos will be running in the newly redrawn 3rd, which cuts out the western Suffolk County portion of the district.

In the 7th District, five-term incumbent, and nearly three-decade veteran of the House, Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-Brooklyn, Queens) fended off a challenge from artist and activist Paperboy Prince by a margin of 81.8 percent to 15.3 percent. The two had previously squared off in the 2020 Democratic primary, with Velázquez holding off the challenger by a similar margin.

Velázquez goes on to face Republican nominee Juan Pagan in the general, in a district she won with nearly 85 percent of the vote in 2020. Prince announced a City Council run on Twitter early Wednesday morning.

In the 14th Congressional District, Republicans will send Tina Forte to the general, handing her 66.6 percent of the vote compared to fellow contender Desi Cuellar’s 31.4 percent.

Forte will face Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) in the general, who carried the district with 71.6 percent of the vote Q in 2020.

Assemblymembers Jenifer Rajkumar (D-Woodhaven), David Weprin (D-Fresh Meadows) and Stacey Pheffer A mato (D-Rockaway Park) were there to support.

Addabbo thanked those who contributed to his win, including Sean McCabe, a combat veteran and veteran liaison for the office, whose relative, the late Pat McCabe, started working for Addabbo in 2001 and continued volunteering until her death in May. “I’m just so proud of the work this campaign has done,” McCabe told the Chronicle.

Now Addabbo will be looking for a new office, most likely in Ozone Park, and will register as a resident at his mother’s home there too to comply with state law.

DOT to conduct study of deadly intersection

by Deirdre Bardolf Associate Editor

The area of the Conduit around Linden Center, near 78th and 79th streets, PHOTOS COURTESY OZPKRBA is notoriously dangerous and deadly.

After years of advocating for safety improvements to be made at a dangerous intersection of the Conduit, the city Department of Transportation finally responded to say that it will conduct an investigation into the area.

In response to the Ozone Park Residents Block Association, a DOT representative thanked the group for its concern and said the Pedestrian Unit and Traffic Operations would investigate safety measures at the Conduit by 78th and 79th streets.

“Upon completion of the review,

Queens Borough Commissioner Nicole Garcia will notify you of their determination,” she said.

Sam Esposito, president of the block association, wrote on Facebook that the group has sent over 15 letters in the past two years expressing the need for a light or ramp.

“We think this location has enough foot traffic to warrant one of these means of crossing this highly trafficked road of cars and t r u ck s ,” E s p o sit o w r ot e o n Facebook.

Pedestrians will often cross the median separating Ozone Park from the Linden Center.

Last year, 24-year-old Kimberly

Ortega was killed in a hit-and-run crossing South Conduit Avenue west of Linden Boulevard.

The Chronicle reported then that advocates and elected officials had been asking for improvements to be made for years.

Ortega’s death was one of three in the past four years, Esposito wrote.

Several traffic study requests to the DOT in the area remain open.

The agency did not respond to an inquiry in time for publication.

State Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) said he would revisit the issue and work with area electeds to follow DOT progress. Q

“Our skin color might be different but the blood that runs through our veins, it is the same ... hate does not have any role in this community, in the country,” Maharaj said.

A sse mbly wom a n Je n i fe r R ajk u m a r (D-Woodhaven) organized the press conference, the second one since the first attack.

“The Gandhi statue might be gone but we will continue to spread Gandhi’s message of peace and love throughout the entire nation,” she said.

“When you come and you desecrate a symbol of faith, it doesn’t cause people to stop praying,” said Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park). “It makes people pray more.”

She continued, “So your mission is a failure.

And it will be further a failure when you are caught, arrested, prosecuted and incarcerated.”

Senior city rideshare program The Department for the Aging has partnered with the Department of Transportation for a pilot rideshare service for senior citizens and people with disabilities.

The program provides door-to-door service 24/7 for rides within the five boroughs and in Nassau and Westchester counties.

Rides can either be scheduled in advance or requested on-demand using the DFTA My Ride app, website or dispatch. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available.

The DFTA is now accepting applications to take part in a three-month pilot, its second in three years; those selected would

received a $600 subsidy for rides during that period and would need to fill out preand post-program surveys. Applicants must be at least 60 years old or, for those with disabilities, at least 18 years old. The pilot is open to residents in 14 outer borough community districts; in Queens, those districts are CD 6, 7, 10, 12 and 14.

Only one person per household may apply.

To apply, visit nyc.gov/aging/myride.

Applications are due online Sept. 9; mailin applications should be sent to the DFTA’s Manhattan office and must be Q postmarked by Sept. 5.

Police say they are investigating two recent attacks on a Hindu temple in Richmond Hill as a pattern and believe some of the same individuals were involved in both incidents.

Three vandals first targeted Tulsi Mandir on Aug. 3 when they toppled over a statue of Gandhi and a planter holding a sacred plant.

Then, on Aug. 16, a group of six arrived around 1:30 a.m. and smashed the statue with what appeared to be a sledgehammer. They also vandalized the area and nearby 111th Street with spray paint and then fled in what police say was a white Mercedes, possibly a C-class, and a dark-colored Toyota Camry.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and asking for the public’s help.

The incidents have drawn widespread attention and community and religious leaders have come together to condemn them.

On Wednesday, Mayor Adams and Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz visited the site for a press conference alongside dozens of elected officials and community leaders.

“We are investigating these acts of violence,” said Adams. “We are ensuring that the person who’s responsible be brought to justice.

We are not going to stand back and allow attacks on our houses of worship. They play a crucial role in closing the gaps between government and the needs of people.”

It goes beyond law enforcement, he continued. “The goal is not only responding to hate but preventing hate.”

Katz said that her office is assisting the Hate Crimes Task Force in its investigation and, when an arrest is made, “will carefully consider the appropriate charges.”

“When you commit a hate crime, the community will stand together, no matter who it’s against, we stand together as one in Queens County,” she said.

Community Board 9 held its first-ever small business resources and economic recovery forum last Thursday, drawing area business owners and leaders together to network and discuss challenges and opportunities.

The event took place at Starlight Pavilion banquet hall in South Richmond Hill, which was provided free of charge by owners Matthew and Kathy Singh.

Speakers included Tom Grech, president and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, Sam Smouha, program

manager for commercial revitalization at the Queens Economic Development Corp., and Andrew Rubin, director of community affairs and government relations at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.

Grech spoke about revitalizing the tech industry in Queens and the effects of congestion pricing on business owners. Smouha discussed the lack of a business improvement district or merchant’s association in the Richmond Hill area and how creating an informal one would be a big step.

State Sens. Joe Addabbo Jr., James Sanders Jr. and Leroy Comrie, as well as Assemblymembers Jenifer Rajkumar and David Weprin, made remarks and took questions from attendees.

“This is a great networking opportunity that we hope to keep up,” said CB 9 Chair Sherry Algredo. She said she hopes to hold similar events across the area and also thanked the dozens of businesses who donated food and — Deirdre Bardolf more for the event.

Two dead in ATV crash; cops on modified duty

by Sophie Krichevsky Associate Editor

Two men driving an ATV toward the lower level of the Queensboro Bridge early last Friday morning died after crashing into the front of a Freightliner tractor, police said. Two officers who were reportedly chasing the ATV have been put on modified duty while the investigation continues.

Around 1:30 a.m. last Friday, police said, officers responded to a report that the driver, who has been identified as 22-year-old Bronx resident Angel Lopez, and the passenger were

riding a 1999 Yamaha Chappy ATV westbound toward the lower roadway of the bridge. They hit a 2014 Freightliner tractor, causing them to fall onto the road. Lopez was then run over by the rig’s back wheel, causing severe trauma to his head and the rest of his body; he was pronounced dead on the scene.

The passenger, who has yet to be identified, also sustained severe trauma to his head and body; he was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the tractor was not injured and remained on the

scene, the NYPD said. The crash occurred near the junction of Queens Plaza South, Jackson Avenue and Queens Plaza East.

A source familiar with the matter said the ATV had been stolen. At press time, the Highway Collision Investigation Squad was still investigating the incident. This comes as Mayor Adams and the NYPD have cracked down on ATVs, dirt bikes and other unlicensed vehicles, which have been known to flood the streets — often in packs — citywide.

Pat Lynch, president of the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, objected

to the officers’ punishment. “These police officers and cops across the city have been told to prioritize getting illegal bikes and ATVs off the streets, because the community is sick of them,” he said in a statement. “They should not be punished for doing the job they were sent out to do.”

The New York Times identified the officers as Niketas Janios and Marya Cardona Quintero; when the Chronicle asked the NYPD for confirmation on those names, its press office said via email, “The officers are modified Q pending an ongoing investigation.”

ummer’s almost gone, which means not just that kids are going back to class and we’re all going into autumn, but that you’re doing it armed with the Queens Chronicle’s annual Back to School and Fall Guide special edition.

We hope you’ll find the supplement to be a handy device to help navigate the change of seasons. First off, it has the city’s public school calendar, in a nice, easy-to-cut-out form perfect for the refrigerator door. Every key date you need to know is there. And while you can call them all up on your phone or computer, it’s often easier to just glance at an oldfashioned piece of paper displayed in what’s often the most social room in a modern household — especially around mealtimes. So go ahead, if you like it, put a magnet on it.

Much of Queens has overcrowded schools, and efforts to relieve them are always a top concern for families. We have you covered, reporting that up to 3,110 new seats are set for this year. A new pre-kindergarten, extensions on elementary schools, a new middle school and a new high school building are all set to open — along with a long-desired annex for Francis Lewis High School that will provide 555 new seats.

We also get into what’s being taught, specifically a welcome return to phonics for kids in kindergarten through sec-

ond grade. Phonics is the teaching method that has students sound out words and learn to string syllables together. “Dog” leads to “dog-mat-ic” because youngsters can see the individual syllables. This replaces a tragic turn the city had taken into so-called “whole language” or “balanced literacy” teaching, a discredited method that stunts children’s learning.

We do not focus solely on the city’s traditional district schools in the section. More and more families are choosing other options, so we take a look at how both Catholic schools and charter schools are doing. The answer is well. Parochial school enrollment is up, and if charter schools weren’t blocked by an outdated, ill-considered cap imposed by Albany, more of them would be opening up as we speak to accommodate the many families trying to get their kids in.

We also realize education doesn’t stop at the schoolhouse door, devoting a page to Queens Library back-to-school programming. We even have a piece on kids’ fashion, for those who haven’t completed the season’s shopping just yet.

After the school section of the supplement comes the Fall Guide. Want to know who’s performing at venues such as Queens Theatre and Colden Auditorium this season? This is where you find out. Though the events vary greatly, the

Save our bus stops Dear Editor: Your Aug. 18 article “Queens buses fare best in annual study” proves there is no reason to eliminate one-third of the borough’s bus stops for buses to go faster. According to MTA logic, if the best borough for bus service should have one-third of its bus stops removed, then Brooklyn should have half its bus stops removed because its buses are even slower.

Why are they slow in the first place? The Q32, Queens’ slowest bus route, is so slow because of the Department of Transportation’s decision in 2003 to turn one of the traffic lanes on the Queens Boulevard service road into a parking lane and later to remove the parking for a bike lane.

The DOT’s solution, after causing the slow bus problem, is to create a bus lane in the main road, moving buses from the service road and slowing other traffic to a crawl.

Everyone must stop this bus stop removal nonsense, and oppose DOT solutions that make congestion problems worse while the DOT blames the drivers for them. Sign the petition against bus stop removal: change.org/p/mtaoppose-the-mta-s-plan-to-eliminate-bus-stops.

emphasis is on family fare. Another piece highlights a new campaign by the city’s official marketing team, NYC & Co., that reminds you of great spots across Queens to visit — everything from museums to eateries to Rockaway Beach and the tennis courts where the US Open starts Monday.

The section gets wheel with a story on roller skating, which is either making a comeback or never went away, and is available at a few spots in Queens and more nearby. Gliding on those four wheels to your favorite music is simply one of the most joyful things you can do, many folks agree.

Outdoor events are great in the fall, and we devoted a story just to what’s coming up at the Queens Farm, where the annual county fair is around the corner — and so are mysteries and surprises when the Amazing Maize Maze opens. For nights at home, we run down a lot of what’s new on traditional TV, cable and the streaming services. And if you’re looking for a day trip out of town, our focus this time around is on southwestern Connecticut, particularly a children’s museum, an aquarium and an all-American, independent fast-food joint we couldn’t help but recommend.

After all, the Queens Chronicle’s Back to School and Fall Guide special edition is not just informative — it’s fun, too!

Tolls would benefit most Dear Editor: Re “Congestion fee’s toll on taxis,” Editorial, Aug. 25: It is misleading to say, “We’ll all suffer if congestion pricing is imposed.” The vast majority of New Yorkers who go into Manhattan during peak hours take public transportation and would benefit from congestion pricing. Congestion pricing will reduce traffic, which would help New Yorkers who commute by bus and must endure spectacularly slow rides. Additionally, it will improve the air quality in Manhattan, which benefits everyone.

The MTA needs money to continue to make improvements and maintain reliable (or at least semi-reliable) service. Whether one believes the MTA is mismanaged or needs extensive organization is another matter, and we must keep pressure on our leaders to ensure the MTA runs effectively. However, there is no debate that the MTA suffered a massive loss of revenue during the pandemic. The working world is a new landscape with a not-insignificant population of

employed workers continuing to work remotely, so it’s not certain that ridership will return to pre-2020 levels.

I don’t understand this rationale: “The return of office workers will not be sped up. Unemployment will not improve.” Congestion pricing doesn’t claim to address these issues — it seeks to reduce traffic, improve air quality and support the MTA; this will help the majority of New Yorkers, who are lower- and middleincome residents and need a well-functioning public transit system. There is certainly a debate to have as to what a sensible pricing plan should be. I intend to be a part of the public hearings to voice my support of congestion pricing.

NY asked for the migrants Dear Editor: In the Aug. 18 issue, writer Glenn Hayes proposed sending criminals to Texas as payback for Gov. Greg Abbott busing migrants to New York City (“Ship ’em to Texas,” Letters).

Sorry, Mr. Hayes, but this is not a game of tit for tat. For years New York City mayors, New York State elected officials, other politicians and numerous other social, religious and educational leaders have boasted that New York is a sanctuary city or state. Therefore, Gov. Abbott has given them a chance to prove their cordiality.

Opposition from many of them sure sounds a lot different than what they once pontificated.

I notice no migrant welcome centers are in Manhattan’s Upper East or West sides, where leftist white liberals predominate. Once again, NIMBY (not in my back yard) rules. They are all for housing migrants, just so long as it is in someone else’s neighborhood.

As for sending criminals to Texas, it will have no effect on New York City’s crime rate as Mr. Hayes claims. Crime at the current rate will continue until both the insane bail reform laws are repealed and district attorneys who refuse to prosecute remain in office. So long as Democrats remain in power, that will not happen.

But there is one good thing about shipping criminals to The Lone Star State, although it is not one Mr. Hayes mentioned. There, bail reform, defund police efforts, lenient district attorneys and criminals ruling the streets with no fear of the law do not exist. Armed citizens abound, and criminals who flaunt and laugh at the leftist system here will find themselves facing deserved justice.

with the FAA and Port Authority for years since flight procedure changes were made at LGA in 2012. The destructive level of excessive and constant noise on Sunday made it impossible to open a window, enjoy public parks and open spaces, relax or enjoy a BBQ in our backyards and terraces, watch television, listen to music or hold a conversation. While Buttigieg intends to hold airlines accountable for flight delays, cancellations and ticket refunds, the residents of Flushing and everyone across northeast Queens respectfully plead with him to hold the aviation industry accountable for the destruction of health, property and communities negatively impacted by low-altitude commercial aircraft.

There are solutions to co-exist with airports and for the industry to be good neighbors. For example, the FAA must design new flight procedures that are not only safe and efficient, but take the well-being of people on the ground into consideration. Congress must help NASA work with aircraft and jet engine manufacturers to move plans for new aircraft designs from the drawing board into production. The FAA must improve education for air traffic controllers and provide better management oversight and supervision at TRACON for more flight disperadesal. Low-altitude procedures should only be used when absolutely necessary due to weather and safety concerns. Help!

request MTA’s input on transitrelated implications of the City’s proposal for a community-based jail to be placed alongside the courthouses and Queens Borough Hall in this community.

Our fellow elected colleagues and members of the community have made clear our concerns about the rushed and insular manner in which plans for the jail have been brought forth by the City — which we understand is not up to the discretion of your administration or agency.

However, as this plan would exponentially increase transit congestion across the local neighborhoods due to the sheer size of the proposed site — we must ensure that every affected agency is aware of the implications; that contingency plans are in place so as not to infringe on the proposal’s ultimate goal to create a more expedient and full administration of justice for those involved in the correctional system; and that it would not adversely impact the people who call this area home.

We respectfully request answers from MTA to the following inquiries: • What would be the overall impact of this jail on our local public transit options (subway, LIRR and bus lines), which already stand among some of the most utilized in Queens?

• Given this area is already fraught for quate parking options and extremely congested on Queens Blvd., how would MTA maximize transit efficiency to ensure that court officials, defendants, family and other supports are able to reliably travel to and from the courts, jail and Queens Borough Hall, which remains our borough’s top resource to access elected officials and government agencies?

• How would MTA mitigate the impacts on local residents and ensure continuity in their daily lives?

We thank you for your consideration of these inquiries and for your continued partnership. Our teams remain readily available should there be any questions or if we may be of assistance.

DOT commish meets with S. Ozone civic

Community members want a new stop sign at dangerous intersection

by Sean Okula Associate Editor

Department of Transportation Queens Borough Commissioner Nicole Garcia held court with the 149th Street South Ozone Park Civic Association last Friday. Among the items discussed were speed bumps, one-way streets, and the need for a stop sign at the intersection of Inwood Street and Sutter Avenue, which residents say has become a hotbed for collisions.

The problem, says new civic President Aracelia Cook, is one of sight line. A driver stopping on Sutter must creep up to see vehicles coming down Inwood, which is a one-way northbound street.

An Inwood driver drifting too far to the left of the lane or going too fast might end up clipping a driver nosing his or her way out from Sutter, especially if the driver on Sutter performs a rolling stop.

Regardless of which driver coming down which roadway ends up at fault, the current structure of the intersection breeds confusion.

To mitigate that, residents say a stop sign on Inwood is needed. That way, drivers coming down the roadway would be moving at a much slower speed as they approach a driver on Sut-

ter potentially creeping out to get a better understanding of the surroundings.

Garcia patiently listened to complaints in an informal sidewalk meeting that lasted nearly an hour — at one point, more than 10 neighbors joined the conversation, offering input on how traffic flow in the area could be better — and said she plans to pursue next steps.

“We’ve heard that the community really wants stop signs, so we’ve asked for reassessments from our engineers,” Garcia said.

“We’ll do the study, I’ll do what I can to talk to engineers to expedite and we’ll stay in touch.”

As part of other efforts to mitigate speeding in the area, the residents gathered on the corner of Inwood and Sutter asked Garcia about the feasibility of speed bumps. Her answer to that question was two-fold.

Pertaining to most questions about potential DOT action and any perceived inaction, Garcia mentioned the possibility of past DOT studies that had deemed change unnecessary at the time, but had grown outdated. She specifically cited the city’s lowering of the default speed limit to 25 mph as a potential harbinger for reassessment of some studies.

Queens DOT Borough Commissioner Nicole Garcia, second from right, met with new 149th Street Civic Association President Aracelia Cook, right, and community members to discuss, among other PHOTOS BY SEAN OKULA issues, the intersection at Inwood Street and Sutter Avenue, left.

As it relates to speed bumps in the South Ozone Park area, Garcia said, although she did not possess the same expertise as an engineer, she thought the space between driveways to be too narrow to allow for the implementation of such deterrents. Still, she said she plans to instruct experts to have a look.

“Every idea is a good idea,” she said. “We just want to make sure, and this is why we don’t just drop a one-way down [when it’s asked for], because sometimes when you make changes on streets, it can lead to some unintended consequences.”

An aide mentioned, specifically relating to stop signs, the placement of too much signage can lead drivers to be more cavalier in their adherence, and lead to more rolling stops.

In addition to stop signs and speed bumps, Cook and resident Pat Dyer asked Garcia about converting stretches of narrow roadway on 130th and 133rd avenues leading into 150th Street into one-way lanes. Garcia said that process starts with the community board.

“I’m in touch with Ms. Cook, and we’ll be getting back as quickly as we can,” Garcia Q said.

Rideshare drivers assail congestion pricing plan Independent Drivers Guild says its members, customers will be hurt

by Michael Gannon

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Senior News Editor

More professional drivers have begun mobilizing against congestion pricing proposals as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority gears up for its first of six virtual public hearings on Aug. 25.

The Independent Drivers Guild, a Long Island City group that represents rideshare drivers, on Monday came out fully opposed to measures that will, if approved, charge tolls on just about every vehicle that enters Manhattan below 60th Street or crosses 60th from the north.

The peak-hours fees proposed in seven tolling options run from $9 to $23.

IDG President Brendan Sexton said in a press release that would be an economic disaster for his membership, and could eliminate 40 percent of all fares in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan.

“Rideshare trips were already charged a congestion tax in the first phase of congestion pricing,” Sexton said. “It is ludicrous to suggest adding another congestion tax on these trips.”

Sexton said Uber and Lyft drivers are struggling to make enough money to survive and since 2019, have given the MTA over a billion dollars. He said another congestion tax will cost thousands of low-

“While the authors of this report are ok with tens of thousands of New Yorkers losing their job, we are not,” he said. “We are not ok that these schemes will put rideshare costs out of reach for hardworking New Yorkers who depend on Uber, Lyft and Forhire vehicles to get around. This industry

has been through enough, the tone deafness and outright contempt this report shows for this workforce is disturbing.”

The New York Taxi Workers Alliance last week also came out vociferously against the tolls. The MTA says the fees would reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. The aim also is to raise at least $1 billion a year in rev-

enue for the MTA. That, in turn, would allow the agency to leverage $15 billion in borrowing that it could apply to its five year-$55 billion capital budget.

Refusing to exempt rideshare vehicles would also hurt their customers, according to the IDG. The group said more than half a million New Yorkers rely on rideshare to move around the city each day and already pay higher taxes and fees on such trips than anywhere else in the nation.

The guild said minority communities and the outer boroughs rely on for-hire vehicle service, not taxis, to get around, and that refusing to exempt for-hire vehicles would have an unfair and disproportionate impact on Black and brown communities and the outer boroughs.

Six virtual public hearings will take place starting this evening, Aug. 25, at 5 p.m.

Members of the public who wish to speak at the hearings can sign up online at mta. info/CBDTP. The hearings will be accessible online at mta.info/CBDTP at these dates and times: • Saturday, Aug. 27, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; • Sunday, Aug. 28, 1 to 4 p.m.; • Monday, Aug. 29, 1 to 4 p.m.; • Tuesday, Aug. 30, 5 to 8 p.m.; and • Wednesday, Aug. 31, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Q

City wants cleaner, safe sidewalk shacks

Two dozen abandoned structures torn down as outdoor dining plans advance

by Michael Gannon Senior News Editor

The city last week began tearing down sidewalk dining structures that had fallen into disuse and disrepair after the restaurants that erected them closed.

Mayor Adams and Meera Joshi, deputy mayor for operations, said that will continue as the city works on crafting outdoor dining regulations that will be uniform and permanent.

But they also said crackdowns are coming for active restaurants that simply don’t keep their sidewalk shacks clean and maintained.

The shacks were permitted during the Covid epidemic to enable restaurants to keep their heads above water.

Adams, an enthusiastic backer of outdoor dining, said they are here to stay, but most be done properly.

“The blight and disorder that we are witnessing at some of our sites is unacceptable, and it will not be how we do business in the city,” Adams said, according to a transcript of his press conference on Aug. 18.

“So if you see an abandoned shed, we are asking the public to participate with us,” he said. “We want you to call 311, or as you love to do, take a photo. Take a photo and send it via text or email to 311 so that we can immediately respond. We’ll check it out. And if necessary, we’re going to do what we’re doing today and

As part of expanding the city’s outdoor dining program and making it permanent, agencies will be addressing sidewalk structures that are abandoned or not maintained. PHOTO BY MICHAEL SHAIN that’s taking it down.”

In an email, Adams’ office said 24 abandoned facilities were taken down, including nine in Queens, six each in Manhattan and Brooklyn and three in the Bronx.

The office did not respond to a request for the Queens locations.

“The operators should have taken it down themselves,” Adams said. “But they didn’t, so

now we are.”

Adams and Joshi said the program, largely improvised by Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration out of need, helped 10,000 businesses and saved 100,000 jobs.

The mayor said an ongoing lawsuit by opponents of expanding outdoor dining and making it permanent has been slowing the process down. But he warned critics not to misconstrue

last week’s actions as a sign that outdoor dining is being dismantled.

“We are strongly in support of an outdoor dining program,” Adams said. “We want to be clear. The visualization of taking down this shed is not removing the program. It is a symbol that we must get it right.”

He said city agencies are planning carefully to make sure the final guidelines will take things like design, pest control and public health into account.

“The guidelines will be clear so restaurant owners know exactly what we expect,” he said.

“We’re aware that in the past, unclear and changing guidelines, they have caused problems. But remember, this was done immediately. It was done under emergency. It was about ‘how do we keep the industries open and safe at the same time?’”

Andrew Rigie, executive director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, applauded the city’s moves in an emailed statement.

“It’s great news that Mayor Adams announced the City will remove abandoned outdoor dining structures that shuttered during the pandemic and will focus on revitalizing or removing dilapidated ones as we transition out of the temporary emergency program that saved countless small businesses and jobs,” Rigie said.

He offered to work directly with the city to Q get a new program up and running.

Dog-gone-it! Stand removed After years of a hot dog stand slinging franks on 156th Avenue in Howard Beach, the seemingly abandoned operation was towed away on Monday.

Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park) posted photos and a video on social media of an NYPD tow truck removing the stand, which was piled atop a trailer.

The office received multiple calls regarding the abandoned stand, which was roped onto an unlicensed trailer with garbage and propane tanks around it.

Multiple attempts were made to contact the owner, Ariola’s office said, and the city Department of Sanitation will follow up to — Deirdre Bardolf clean the area.

Office says system is broken and City Hall can help more, as it follows precedent

by Samantha Maldonado and Katie Honan THE CITY

This article was originally published on Aug. 16 at 5:15 p.m. EDT by THE CITY Nearly a year after the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded the Forest Hills one-bedroom apartment where Heidi Pashko and her husband live, the couple is finally beginning to settle back into their first-floor home of over four decades. That’s after living with their son’s family for about nine months and spending almost $30,000 on repairs, Pashko said.

She received a couple thousand dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and filed a negligence claim against the city for damage caused by sewer overflows in the storm, in the hopes of receiving some money.

Pashko said she was “shocked” when she received a letter on Monday from City Comptroller Brad Lander completely denying her claim.

She wasn’t the only one: 4,703 New Yorkers filed claims against the city after their homes flooded during Ida. All 4,703 were denied, according to the Comptroller’s Office.

The crux of the claims is that the city’s negligence in sewer maintenance led to flooding damage.

The storm killed at least 13 people in New York City on Sept. 1, 2021, as it dumped over three inches of rain in a single hour on Central Park, shattering previous rainfall records — and overwhelming the city’s sewer systems, which were built to handle rainfalls of under two inches an hour.

The Comptroller’s Office says it investigates each claim to determine whether city negligence led to the flooding. But the decisions rely on precedent set by a case from 1907 that ruled municipal governments are not liable for damage from “extraordinary and excessive rainfalls” — even if the city’s sewer system was under capacity.

“As a result, the City of New York is not responsible for losses arising from Hurricane Ida, and your claim must be denied,” read letters sent by the comptroller and obtained by THE CITY. Pashko said she thinks the city is “abso-

after dealing with sewage floods for years.

“The city has failed us before so I’m very sure there’s no more help,” Mooklal said.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards called for more federal infrastructure funding to fortify the borough from future storms — and also blasted the city’s handling of storm recovery.

“This decision — which I encourage homeowners to explore their options about — is an unfortunate encapsulation of the city’s negligence and sheer failure when it comes to extreme weather preparedness,” he said in a statement to THE CITY. Those who were denied their claims and want to dispute the decision have until the end of November to file a lawsuit against the city.

DA says arsenal included fully auto rifle Whitestone man allegedly made ‘ghost guns,’ now faces 140 charges

by Peter C. Mastrosimone Editor-in-Chief

A Whitestone man who allegedly had 42 illegal firearms in his home — including many “ghost guns” with no serial numbers and one fully automatic rifle — was arrested last Friday night on a 140count complaint charging him with multiple violations of various weapons laws.

Joseph Maddaloni Sr. holds permits allowing him to possess 10 pistols and 11 rifles and shotguns, according to the office of Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz, but allegedly manufactured 17 illegal ghost guns personally and bought 25 more commercially manufactured firearms than he was allowed.

He got on the authorities’ radar after Katz’s newly formed Crime Strategies and Intelligence Unit, along with the district attorney’s Detectives Bureau, initiated an investigation into individuals buying illegal firearm component parts online. Maddaloni, the DA’s office said, was soon identified as a major purchaser of illegal polymer-based

counts of making, transporting, disposing or defacing weapons and dangerous instruments or appliances; 26 counts of criminal possession of a firearm; 26 counts of criminal possession of a firearm in the third degree; five counts of the prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers; 13 counts of failure to obtain certificates of registration

Maddaloni was remanded to Rikers Island and first had to return to court Aug. 24, according to the city Department of Correction. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Investigators executing a search

Subway slasher sought

Cops seek suspect while CB member seeks more cops

Senior News Editor

A member of Community Board 9 is calling on the NYPD to staff the Kew GardensUnion Turnpike subway station around the clock in the wake of a vicious robbery and slashing on the Jamaica-bound platform during the morning rush hour on Aug. 17.

The NYPD said the attack took place at about 8 a.m. while the 26-year-old male victim was waiting for an F train.

The suspect repeatedly slashed the victim on his face, arm and back with a knife before stealing his cell phone and fleeing the station in an unknown direction.

The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.

“We’ve got to get the conversation going,” CB 9 member Kevin O’Leary told the Chronicle on Tuesday. “We need to have two police officers permanently posted in Kew Gardens, 24/7, seven days a week.”

The station itself is in the 112th Precinct, with its headquarters on Austin Street in Forest Hills. But the officers who work subway patrols full time are assigned to Transit District 20. TD 20 patrols all subways in Queens with the exception of the A line.

The unit’s headquarters is on the mezzanine level of the Briarwood-Van Wyck station that serves the E and F lines.

Police are searching for the man shown above for slashing and robbing a man on a Union Turnpike subway platform on Aug. 17. The victim had to be hospitalized. PHOTOS COURTESY NYPD “And, by the way, this is right across the street from Borough Hall and the courts,” O’Leary said. “This is what’s going on. It’s a major hub. It’s not an unreasonable request ... Executives who work at Borough Hall go through that station. You would think they would be the first to call to get more security down there. I think this is something folks this side of Union Turnpike would

agree on.”

That of course led to questions about staffing, which would require six officers over every 24-hour period; two stops away the Forest Hills-71st Avenue station, which serves as a terminus for the M and R trains as well as an express stop for the E and F, is far busier.

“I know they’ve had problems there at night,” he said in regard to possibly staffing Forest Hills-71st Avenue around the clock.

“It gets a little challenging sometimes, I would say, yes. If we can put a man on the moon, we can figure out a way to assign officers to those two stations.”

A glance at crime stats obtained on the NYPD’s website shows a steep year-to-date increase in transit crimes in the 112th Precinct. Reported major, or index, crimes have risen from eight this time last year to 23, or 187.5 percent. The basic CompStat sheet did not b r e a k d ow n t h e 23 c r i me s by classification.

Anyone with information on the attacker’s name or whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 577-TIPS (8477), or, for Spanish, 1 (888) 57-PISTA (74782).

“The investigation and arrest are critical to our efforts to stop the proliferation of gun violence plaguing our communities,” Katz said in a prepared statement. “As alleged, the defendant possessed a deadly arsenal of weapons in his home — from personally manufactured ghost guns to commercially made firearms for which he did not have the legal right to possess. These illegal weapons must be kept off our streets and my Office will continue to work diligently to hold accountable those who choose to Q endanger our communities.”

CDC: 84% of kids got Covid A whopping 83.6 percent of children in New York State contracted Covid-19, since the outbreak began, according to new data released this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC estimates that 3,242,000 state residents aged 6 months to 17 years have been infected with the virus.

The data come with a 95 percent confidence interval that the percentage with the virus is between 80.2 and 86.8 percent, and a 95 percent confidence interval that the total number of infected children is between 3,109,000 and 3,367,000.

“This survey estimates the percentage of children and adolescents with detectable antibodies showing past infection with SARS-CoV-2, but not the total amount of antibody against SARS-CoV-2 in their blood,” the CDC says on the web page with the data, bit.ly/3Cssuwc. “The estimates do not necessarily show how many people have enough antibodies to protect them against reinfection, severe outcomes, and/or COVID-19-related complications.”

Nationwide, the CDC said, 57 million kids caught Covid, 79.7 percent of Q them.

Crowds return for the Festival of Cinema

Organizers say FoHi film extravaganza topped ’21 numbers, approached ’19

by Michael Gannon Senior News Editor

Last year, the organizers of the Festival of Cinema NYC were just hoping to get people back to going out to the movies after the pandemic; this year, festival founder and Excutive Director Jayson Simba was hoping the sixth festival could approach something like 2019 normal.

Not only filmmakers, but a fair share of the general public showed up for the films screening at the Regal UA Midway Theater in Forest Hills; and also to presentations and workshops at off-site locations that had to be eliminated last year.

After nine days culminating with 16 award presentations on Aug. 14, the verdict was in.

“In short, we are definitely back,” Simba told the Chronicle in an interview last Friday.

And, he said, definitely on the rise.

“We definitely had a higher attendance than we did last year — I would say about 50 percent more,” he said. “I think last year we had about 1,200 in attendance, and that’s just ticket buyers. That doesn’t include the filmmakers who came. This year we broke 2,000, about 2,100 ... not the 2019 numbers, the prepandemic numbers, but we’re definitely getting there. It’s definitely a good sign of the times that people are returning to theaters, that people are coming out and people are

He admitted that attendance was a pleasant surprise.

“We had two shows that were completely sold out and another seven that were 70 percent of capacity or more.” Even Midway management, he said, took him aside to express delight with the crowds.

“We had a lot more media exposure in print and online. It was definitely a sign that

we’re doing the right thing, going in the right direction.”

The award recipients were: • Best Feature Film — Narrative: “Black, White and the Greys,” directors Casey Nelson and Marchelle Thurman; • Audience Choice — Feature Film: “Black, White and the Greys,” directors Casey Nelson and Marchelle Thurman; • Best Documentary — “Finding Courage,” director Kay Rubacek;

• Best Experimental, Music Video or Animation: “A Feast That Never Comes,” director Maria Juranic; • Best Short Film — Narrative: “The Vow,” director Charles Sweeney; • Audience Choice — Short Film: “Sweet Pea & Glass,” director Daniel Merino Villavicencio; • Best Web/TV Series: “Visitation-Episode One,” director Patrick Devaney; • Best Director: Cory Choy, “Esme, My Love”; • Breakthrough Male Performance — Nate Washburn, “Behind the Wall”; • Breakthrough Female Performance — Nicole Stuart, “40ish…”; • Best Ensemble — “Relative,” director Michael Glover Smith; • Best Screenplay — “For I am Dead,” writer Patricia Delso Lucas; • Best Cinematography — “ Into the Colors,” director of photography Michael Morales; • Best Editing — “The Game Called Go Insane,” editor Jake LeCarner; • Best Sound Editing — “Cookaphony,” Steve Call; and • Best Make Up — “Sally,” Phil Russell.

Ukulele classes a big hit at the Queens Library

For the latest news visit qchron.com

Why is the uke — as its fans call it — so popular suddenly?

It helps that the ukulele is small and more manageable for older hands and that it takes almost no time to learn how to play.

And it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s an everyman instrument with a happy sound.

But the little guitar’s greatest feature may be its ability to create a community among people who might especially need it — adults over 65.

Nance Hinchliffe’s uke class is an experiment in the QPL’s Creative Aging Program, a group of courses and activities based in the librar y’s 60 -plus locations and geared to seniors.

“As the brain ages, it does better when you start to learn new things,” said Hinchliffe. “It helps with focus, problem-solving and creativity, as well.

“That’s exciting to me. There are people [in the class] who’ve never done anything like this before and to see them become more confident is amazing.”

“We’ve been doing all these classes geared toward older adults — clay sculpture, all kinds of water colors, illustration, landscape,” said M a d l y n S c h n e id e r, Q P L’s o l d e r a d u l t coordinator.

Married since 2003 to Justine Lara Maurer, Leguizamo does it all: comedy, acting, producing and screenwriting. The 74th Street home was last sold for $525,000 in 2011 and is estimated to be worth $1,180,000 today. Q

Inspiration for the future from a local college’s president As we prepare to embark on a new school year, the administration at Plaza College would like to wish everyone a year full of good health, happiness, and abundant success in your studies.

Alberto Leguizamo, born in 1936, and Luz Marina Pelaez, born in 1941, both in Colombia, fell in love and got married. At age 19, Luz gave birth to a son, John Alberto, on July 22, 1960 in Bogota. They came to the United States in 1964. Alberto worked long hours as a waiter. A brother, Sergio, was born, followed by sisters Maria and Emily. For additional income, Alberto bought a tired-looking old 1910-built 2,350-squarefoot two-family home from the Genuino and Cliento family at 44-07 74 St. in Elmhurst.

When John was 10 his parents divorced, and he split his time living with his mother in a apartment building nearby at 86-11 Whitney Ave. Apt. 4A. At Murray Bergtraum High School, a guidance teacher suggested he channel his talkative personality into acting. His first screen appearance was in Madonna’s 1983 “Borderline” video. He continued to pursue his dreams by going to acting schools and started doing stand-up comedy. It was his role as Luigi in the film “Super Mario Brothers”

BEAT

Get ready for the Open

by Lloyd Carroll Chronicle Contributor

The 2022 US Open should resemble what life was like before Covid-19. The US Open Qualifiers, canceled in both 2020 and 2021, have returned to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The matches, which give a shot at the tournament to those whose rankings were too low, or were not recipients of a wild card entry granted by the United States Tennis Association, runs through tomorrow and is free of charge.

The big story is that this will be the last time tennis fans will get to see Serena Williams compete, as she announced she is hanging up her racquet after her last match in Flushing Meadows.

At press time, it was unclear whether antivaxxer Novak Djokovic will be allowed to enter the United States to compete. Another household name, Roger Federer, is recovering from his third knee surgery and will probably miss the Open.

An American male has not won the US Open since Andy Roddick did it in 2003. The drought may end this year. Taylor Fritz, who reached a No. 12 ranking in the world this past July, and who became the first American to win the men’s title at Indian Wells this past March, will be getting lots of attention. We’ll see if he can accomplish what John Isner, Sam Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Jack Sock and so many others could not.

Phillies fans, as well as the Philadelphia sports media, seemed to be just as angry about the

“General” from the 7-Line Army being allowed to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before a Mets-Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park as they were about the Phillies losing three out of four games over the weekend to our Flushing heroes.

The 7-Line Army is a company that arranges trips for groups of Mets fans to see their team play on the road. The Phillies ticket sales department showed its appreciation by letting a company representative toss a pitch to the team’s mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, who jokingly refused to catch the ball. The two did hug right after that.

This was a smart business decision by the Phillies. It sent the message Mets fans are welcome at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies’ accounting department couldn’t care less who is providing the ticket and concession revenue.

Many Phillies fans came up to Citi Field the previous weekend to cheer their team and you can be sure Mets management was fine with that.

The fans I spoke with said they were treated very well by their Mets counterparts and look forward to returning. The Queens Economic Development Corp. would be smart to hand out pamphlets telling them about the great restaurants within walking distance of Citi Field.

The Mets and Phillies should ask Major League Baseball to schedule as many weekend Q series as possible. It’s good business.

When artist Kathy Goetemann’s exhibit opened at the Center at Maple Grove in Aug. 15, it was not the first time the Friends of Maple Grove had featured her work.

But this time she doesn’t have to share the spotlight.

“Years ago, there was a group show where people could submit their work,” said Goetemann, a Kew Gardens resident who lives near the center. “I had a couple of paintings there.”

Her show, including landscapes and seascapes, will be on display for the public through Sept. 28 at the Center at Maple Grove at 127-15 Kew Gardens Road.

A Meet the Artist reception will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17.

Goetemann, a native of Missouri, was a teacher in Los Angeles before moving to New York 22 years ago. She recently retired from her post with the city’s Department of Education as an English as a new language teacher.

“My mom encouraged me,” Goetemann said of her first interest in art. “She liked to draw and bought me an easel when I was probably about 10. And she put me in classes at art stores. She thought that I had some aptitude toward it so she kind of

encouraged me.

Then in high school I went to a class at Washington University in St. Louis that got me really interested in it.

There was an art program for high school students.”

Goetemann works with acrylic paint on canvas.

She works from photographs she has taken of places she has been, whether it be Big Sur in California or Sea Cliff out on Long Island.

“I like impressionistic works,” she said.

“My favorite would be Monet. I have one painting in the exhibit from when I went to Monet’s gardens in France. I have a painting that is my interpretation of the ‘Water Lillies.’”

Helen Day, senior vice president for the Friends of Maple Grove, said it is not uncommon for them to approach artists from group exhibits for solo shows. Many, like Goettemann, are asked if they have enough work for a one-person exhibit.

“We talk to people after concerts and art exhibits at our wine and cheese parties,”

Page 21 QUEENS CHRONICLE, Thursday, August 25, 2022

This time, Kew Gardens artist gets the full pallete

Artist Kathy Goetemann’s paintings, like this one of Big Sur in California, are on disCOURTESY PHOTOS play at the Center at Maple Grove in Kew Gardens.

Day said. “We ask, ‘Where are you from?

What do you do? Are you an artist?’ If they’re artists we ask them to send samples of their work. It’s a perfect opportunity for someone like Kathy or others who can really show off their work in a nice gallery setting.” Those interested in purchasing her paintings can contact her vis her website, kathygoetemann.com.

The Center at Maple Grove is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is closed Sundays and on Labor Day. The building is handicapped accessible and admission and parking are free.

And how is Goetemann adjusting to newly found free time in retirement?

“I have more time to paint and take Q painting and drawing classes.”

Library ukulele classes strike just the right chord

who was a member and stood out because she played the guitar and ukulele to accompany the group’s musical numbers.

In 2018, the library got some grant money from the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, longtime supporters of performing arts groups including Flushing Town Hall as well as the library, to buy 15 ukes and pay an instructor.

“I asked Nance, ‘Would you be willing to try this?’” Schneider said.

The uke pilot project was off and strumming.

There were only four classes before Covid shut the libraries in 2020. Like everything else, the uke project moved online.

It was a toss-up which task was more difficult, teaching a class of beginners how to play an instrument over the internet or training a crowd of seniors how to use Zoom.

Schneider had been running the library’s remote-learning program for a decade and was probably the most experienced hand on the QPL staff in dealing with online stuff.

Hinchliffe turned to the younger members — “I mean. like, the ones in their 60s and 70s,” she said — and asked them to help the

The QPL Ukulele Strummers, above, meet at the Glen Oaks Library, while classes in the instrument are about to start in Pomonok. Students are taught by Nance Hinchliffe, PHOTOS BY MADLYN SCHNEIDER inset. On the cover: player Lou Patane. older students learn how to sign on and use the app. “She was a master at that,” said Schneider.

Next month, the face-to-face classes are set to resume. The first will be at the Pomonok branch at 158-21 Jewel Ave. starting Sept. 8.

The two-hour classes are geared to begin-

ners, though players with all levels of skill are welcome. Students are expected to perform at a recital at the end of the course.

To enroll, call (718) 591-4343.

continued from page 19 “It helps with social isolation, it helps them to make friends and it worked beautifully,” she said.

Sometime in the mid-teens, Schneider wanted to do something with music.

In the auditorium a floor below her office at the Glen Oaks branch, an amateur theater group had for 30 years been holding its rehearsals.

That’s where Schneider found Hinchliffe,

Julia Vislocky makes her own luck — at least she puts in the work required to find her collection of four- and even five-leaf clovers.

The soon-to-be first-grader from Forest Hills has found 21 four-leaf clovers and two five-leaf clovers this summer, all during walks with her parents along 108th Street near Yellowstone Park.

“It made my day to see Julia so happy when she found the clovers,” mom Liliana said via email. “We saved and preserved all of her clovers.”

“I am so happy and proud to find the special clovers and hope to find more of them,” Julia said.

Her father, Michael, added, “I wish that this rare discovery will bring Julia lots of luck and happiness.”

Tradition indeed says that clovers with four or five leaves bring good fortune (most have three). And they are rare — about one in 5,000 clovers has four leaves, according to a number of sources, while estimates for the five-leaf variety vary widely, from one in 20,000 to one in a million. The clovers with more than three leaves tend to grow in patches.

Many companies and organizations use the four-leaf clover as a logo, while rocketlaunching California-based company SpaceX
