Community voices complaints on jail Borough residents upset about plans to place new facility in Kew Gardens

by David Russell Associate Editor

R

esidents came to Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens last Wednesday night to voice their displeasure with the city’s plan to close Rikers Island and build four borough-based jails, including one in Kew Gardens.

The city would demolish the existing Queens Detention Facility at 126-02 82 St. and replace it with a modern jail. It would have housing units for detainees, programming and recreational space and a new above-ground public parking facility.

No politicians spoke at the City Environmental Quality Review meeting, much to the chagrin of some people who yelled in the direction of state Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) and Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills).

“We want to hear from the community,” Comrie said to the unsatisfied residents across the room.

Dana Kaplan, the executive director of youth and strategic initiatives at the Mayor’s Office, was interrupted by the crowd three times during her presentation and had to speak over hecklers during other parts.

The plan is to provide housing for a total of 5,000 people citywide, which requires a capacity for 6,000 beds. There would be 1,500 beds in

A sizable crowd went to Queens Borough Hall last week as residents voiced complaints about the city’s plan to close Rikers Island and move to a borough-based jail system, which would PHOTO BY DAVID RUSSELL include placing one in Kew Gardens. each borough. Rikers has the capacity to hold 13,400 detainees. Nearly three out of four of the prison population is made up of pretrial detainees awaiting resolution of their cases, Kaplan said, while 23 percent are awaiting sentencing, serving a short sentence of less than one year or are being held on a state technical parole violation.

A borough-based system would be easier for families and lawyers to reach, the city says.

Being connected to Rikers only by a single bridge means limited access for lawyers and

service providers.

The locations were chosen because of their proximity to courthouses to reduce delays in cases and the time people stay in jail.

Kaplan said it is not cost-efficient to operate jails on an island and that recidivism rates would decrease under the new plan.

She also mentioned that the prison population has decreased by 63 percent since 1991.

“This is coming at a time when the levels of crime in New York City have continued to drop,” Kaplan said.

The crowd was overwhelmingly against the borough-based jails, though some attendees were against it on grounds of not wanting a jail in Kew Gardens while others complained about policing methods.

Community activist Charlie Vavruska asked the crowd, “Do you want a jail in your neighborhood?” The audience predictably shouted “No” in unison.

“There’s a simple solution to this,” Vavruska said. “Keep Rikers open.”

He wonders why the city couldn’t just build a new jail at Rikers Island though some people in the audience held up anti-Rikers signs as Vavruska spoke.

He responded by calling out the “hipsters.”

“As soon as they get married and have kids, they’ll be moving to Long Island,” said Vavruska, who is also an aide to City Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village).

Nilesh Vishwasrao, a member of Desis Rising Up & Moving, gave a speech in which he spoke out both against Rikers and the proposed plan.

“Since I was 13, my friends and I have dealt with years of harassment, discrimination and overpolicing,” said Vishwasrao, a Jackson Heights resident. “Some of my friends have ended up in prison and even in Rikers.”

He said he believes the system is racist. “The continued on page 23

New principal at St. Helen Academy Award-winning Tudda prioritizes technology and community

by Matt Waters Associate Editor

St. Helen Catholic Academy in Howard Beach has a new principal for the 2018-19 school year.

His name is Frederick Tudda, and he’s a former recipient of the Daily News’ Hometown Hero award, which constitutes an acknowledgement of excellence in the field of education. Tudda’s com mendation occurred during the inaugural year of the Hometown Hero ceremonies, and was related to his work as then-principal of Public School 188 in Coney Island, which he turned into a conduit for servicing the com mu nit y in addition to educating youngsters. Public School 188 offered community-friendly services and programs like eye exams, GED classes and healthy food for families. Now Tudda has taken his passion for community service and education to Howard Beach.

“Education is a calling, it’s something you have to have a passion for,” Tudda said in an interview on Monday morning with the Queens Ch ronicle. “A good teacher is working around the clock, whether they are physically here in the building, or whether they are at home planning or marking exams, or picking up the phone and talking to a parent at eight o’clock at night or on the weekend.”

It was that type of commitment that elevated Tudda f rom a teacher to an

The new principal at St. Helen Catholic Academy, Frederick Tudda, in his office after an interview PHOTO BY MATT WATERS with the Queens Chronicle. administrator during a rewarding professional r un in his native Brooklyn. “A good education is a good education no matter where you are, whether you’re in

a private school, a public school or a char ter school. It’s the foundation of what we’re giving our child ren,” the Bensonhurst native said, comparing his

previous experience in the Department of Education to his current task. “The difference here [is] bringing the religious aspect into [education]. I’m now able to bring my ... personal belief in Catholicism and what it means to me into the classroom.”

Tudda has certainly been busy since being named principal over the summer.

“A very good beginning, a very welcoming community,” he said, before crediting the pastor of St. Helen, the Rev. Francis Colamaria, as a visionar y in terms of “religion and education.” He outlined new approaches and curriculums for subjects like social studies and science and stressed the importance of technology in the moder n classroom.

“We’ve now put in Smart boards in every classroom of the building over the summer. We’ve now bought in Chromebooks to the building. We’ve increased the amount of iPads,” he said, explaining further, “It’s really good for the kids who have special learning needs, who need to see a presentation as well as hear about it. [With] webcams, when they talk about perhaps going on a safari, they can go on a safari. And in that moment, they’re in a live safar i, it’s wonderf ul, hands-on learning.”

On the lighter side of his job, St. Helen Catholic Academy will have its first-ever Q Halloween parade on Oct. 31.

City students beat state average in ELA But standardized test scores for math still lag behind in grades 3-8

Editor

New York City students outperformed their state counterparts on standardized English tests in grades 3 through 8 for the third year in a row, according to data released last week by the New York State Department of Education on Sept. 26.

In 2018, 46.7 percent of New York City students met proficiency standards in English language arts and 42.7 percent of students met the standards in math. By comparison, 45.2 percent of all New York State students met proficiency standards in ELA and 44.5 percent met proficiency standards in math.

Last year 40.6 percent of New York City students rated proficient in ELA, and 36.4 percent in math.

“We came into office to shake the foundation of a system that neglected too many st udents, parents, teachers and schools,” Mayor de Blasio said in a joint statement with Schools Chancellor

Richard Carranza.

“We now have a school system that is steadily improving before our eyes,” de Blasio said. “We’ve seen steady gains across our students’ state math and English exams, proving that equity and excellence go hand in hand. I salute our students on their progress.”

“Our students’ performance on these exams is one measure of the strength of New York City schools – the hard work of our students, and the dedication and support of our teachers, staff, and families,” Carranza said.

He said the scores are indicative of the sustained progress city schools have made in classrooms, schools and districts across all five boroughs.

“We have much more work to do to close opportunity gaps, and we will continue our push to deliver the equitable and excellent education that every New York City public school student deserves.” continued on page 23

City schools continued to outpace the state average for proficiency on English language arts exams, but continue to lag behind in math according to figures released by the state’s DepartFILE PHOTO ment of Education last week.

Car, shelter concerns at Ozone Park meet Residents Block Association hears from Nilan of 102 Pct. and Addabbo

by Matt Waters Associate Editor

The new Ozone Park Residents Block Association established continuity by gathering for its scheduled monthly meeting at Deshi Senior Center on Tuesday night.

While the proposed shelter at 101st Avenue and 86th Street was an unsurprising focal point for the evening, drawing extended commentary from state senator Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) in particular, comments by Capt. Courtney Nilan about the predominance of car-related incidents in the 102nd Precinct were also worth the community’s attention.

Nilan, the commander of the 102nd Precinct, prefaced her comments by mentioning that crime had gone down in the area compared to last year. But the crimes that are occurring are assuming a similar pattern, involving the burglary or outright theft of cars.

“Seventy or 80 percent of car related crime [happen] when the car is running, or with the windows down, or [you] left your spare key in your car,” Nilan explained, advising that an unattended vehicle with a motor running can provide inspiration for a crime of opportunity. And that left another car-related issue to discuss: A pedestrian fatality on Woodhaven and Jamaica Avenue

Captain Courtney Nilan discusses protective measures against car theft and burgulary and PHOTO BY MATT WATERS pedestrian safety at Tuesday’s night Residents Block Meeting. prompted a discussion about how residents can stay safe while crossing their streets. “I don’t care if you’re a track runner, that car is going to win,” the Captain said. Nilan also announced that 57-year-old Derrick Chirise of Brooklyn, alleged perpetrator of a brutal

assault on a mother on 84th Street, had been apprehended earlier in the afternoon. Chirise had fled onto the roof of a nearby CVS. Addabbo also shared his thoughts on the ongoing shelter situation. He articulated a position from The city that seemed contra-

dictory: it would continue with the construction of the shelter without providing additional cops to the neighborhood. In this sense Addabbo criticized city government for being reactive instead of proactive. “The 102nd Precinct does not deserve that,” said the senator. “They need the help, they need the resources.” He also criticized Mayor de Blasio for a “box checking” approach to choosing a location for the shelter.

Addabbo did strike an optimistic tone on a couple issues pertaining to the shelter. He mentioned having a meeting with de Blasio recently at Gracie Mansion and relayed that the mayor had said that “nothing was set in stone,” regarding the completion of the shelter. And although many at the meeting seemed to convey an uncompromising sentiment against the shelter ever being operative in their neighborhood, Addabbo did float the possibility that the number of residents there could be reduced from the proposed 113 down to 50, with Addabbo citing women, children and war veterans as far more platable prospective members of the neighborhood.

The next meeting for the Ozone Park Residents Association is planned for Nov. 1.

It is scheduled to involve the filling of key roles within the organization, such as social Q media manager.

Seavy Alexander, a 41-year-old Brooklyn resident, was shot in the torso on the night of September 26 at 133rd Street and Sutter Avenue. Alexander was found unconscious on the scene and transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. According to police there have been no arrests yet and an investigation into the homicide is ongoing. Multiple reports say the suspect may have fled in a white sedan.

A page dedicated to the memory of Alexander has been uploaded to the website GoFundMe. The page, attributed to a user, Kola Brown, described Alexander as “a caring son, a father, a devoted brother, compassionate nephew, cousin and tender soul,” and said his “life was violently taken much too soon,” cutting short his intentions of “redeeming the time.” A Daily News report last week said that Alexander had done prison time for weapons and drug charges.

arely does this page laud a private business, but congratulations are due the three women behind Kew & Willow Books on Lefferts Boulevard in Kew Gardens.

Natalie Norboa, Holly Nikodem and Vina Castillo have been putting their all into the independent little shop, and are to be commended as they reach their one-year anniversary, which they will on Oct. 6. May they have many more.

Norboa, Nikodem and Castillo were all employees of the Barnes & Noble on Austin Street in Forest Hills. When it closed down, rather than just take jobs somewhere else in retail, they decided to try opening their own bookstore. Thanks to crowdfunding and their relentless drive to make it happen, they succeeded. In the face of sky-high rents, the existence of Amazon and who knows what other challenges, they succeeded. They’re community-minded people who are doing more than just selling a product: They’re helping bring people together with various public events, they’re

helping minds grow and they’re showing that the little guy, or gal, can still make it if you try.

Meanwhile, struggling Barnes & Noble just announced that it’s up for sale. How ironic.

A different situation exists at the McDonald’s at the corner of Northern and Parsons boulevards in Flushing. Make that former McDonald’s. The eatery shut down Monday, for good.

We have no beef with making what must have been a tough business decision. But the way it was done has left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. The franchisee, who owns other area McDonald’s, knew this was coming. He could have announced the closing in advance — a la Jay Parker of Ben’s Best Deli in Rego Park — knowing how people relied on his eatery not just for food but as a place to socialize.

Flushing Chamber of Commerce President John Choe is especially displeased by the shutdown.

Well, such is life. Success where it seemed impossible, failure where it seemed the same.

estoring and protecting Jamaica Bay, and along with it the lives of the people who live along its shores, is an ongoing effort, one that involves all levels of government. While the feds are in charge because the bay is national parkland, the city and state also have important roles to play.

This week the ball is in Mayor de Blasio’s court. Three Jamaica Bay bills recently passed by the City Council are on his desk and awaiting his signature. All three are worthy of it. Their components are key to the bay’s health.

One would officially reconvene the Jamaica Bay Task Force, which was shut down under Mayor Bloomberg five years ago. Although its members continued to meet anyway, the panel, made up of residents, environmentalists and government officials, need the recognition of a formal mandate from the city to continue their work improving the bay despite the problems caused by pollution.

Another bill would have the city study whether groundwater that’s been flooding the basements of big buildings in Southeast Queens can be channeled into something positive: geothermal heating. A lot of money could be saved and aggravation avoided at places like York College and JHS 8 if it could be done.

The third bill would have the city update its flooding mitigation plans in coastal areas every four years, a wise idea to counteract expected sea level rise.

Jamaica Bay is a gem that has never lost its luster completely though it’s far cloudier than it was when Europeans first sighted its shores. The world’s greatest city should keep doing all it can to keep it as shiny as any natural jewel on Earth.

L’wood: traffic disaster Dear Editor: As an officer of the Board of Directors at the Dorchester Co-op in Lindenwood, I find it important to write in regard to the new traffic circle/roundabout being constructed at 88th Street and 153rd Avenue in Howard Beach.

Our community is not finding this to be beneficial nor a remedy in any way to the intersection; it has actually taken something from bad to worse. This is an extremely dangerous setup!

I don’t know what committee dreamed up this convoluted traffic pattern, but it is a death trap waiting to happen. A simple traffic light would have been the smartest, easiest and safest solution. What is now in place is causing chaos, near-misses, close calls of head-on collisions and real danger of being rear-ended.

Without our knowledge, our sidewalk and entryway into one of our buildings was cut up and access closed off.

There are poles set up at the very edge of our driveway, impeding right-hand turns onto our property. We have to come to a complete stop in an extremely narrow area, with someone on your bumper. Our shareholders are not happy and many of us will end up getting hit in the back trying to get home.

Why didn’t someone just use a brain cell and erect a traffic light and left-turn lane instead of going to these insane extremes?

Our beautiful area is now equal to what © Copyright 2018 by MARK I PUBLICATIONS, INC. All rights reserved.

Those most affected are the shareholders of the Dorchester and Fairfield Arms cooperatives.

Our senior citizens are even more frightened for their safety to cross this roadway.

We are imploring that this be removed immediately and replaced with a traffic light.

This mess will cause residents to leave this area, which some have already indicated they will be doing, not to mention possibly being killed by a motorist.

November is quickly approaching. I made sure I was present to cast my vote at the primaries, trusting that our senator and governor would continue do the right thing for our community, especially since Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. is a former shareholder at the Fairfield Arms.

Please don’t force us to rethink that decision when Nov. 6 rolls around. Howard Beach/Lindenwood is a very close-knit community, and this community is not happy. Don’t alienate us

over this insane, dangerous and truly unsightly mess that was made in the middle of our street (and right outside our driveway).

Patricia A. DiSalvo Officer, Board of Directors Dorchester Cooperative Lindenwood

Midville: traffic disaster Dear Editor: Can local politicians like district Councilman Robert Holden do something about the daily traffic nightmare that has invaded Middle Village?

I live on 80th Street and Metropolitan Avenue and it’s a mess from 3:30 to 8 p.m. every night on weekdays. It’s way too congested and traffic is backed up all around the surrounding area (Maspeth/Glendale).

Why should it take 30 to 45 minutes if you

New city bills pass to protect the bay Legislation’s focus is on proactive response to climate change issues

by Matt Waters Associate Editor

Elected officials and residents met with the press at the Jamaica Bay Kiteboarding Jump last Friday afternoon to discuss a package of environmental protection bills introduced by Councilman Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria) that had just passed in the City Council.

The bills are designed to protect areas in the city susceptible to flooding, especially those surrounding Jamaica Bay. The bills would, among other things, attempt to alleviate damage from sea-level and storm-related emergencies through the mandatory creation of flood maps by the city. The package, which is awaiting the signature of Mayor de Blasio, also would re-establish the Jamaica Bay Task Force that had been discontinued by former Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Assemblywoman Stacy Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway) suggested that protective measures for the Jamaica Bay be considered utilitarian opposed to cosmetic.

“We love our bay but it is surrounded by our homes,” Amato stated at the conference.

“This is an urban recreation area but we also have our homes here attached. So I’m really proud that we’re looking at sea-level rise, because that’s what’s going to protect our homes.”

For his part, Constantinides explained the

proactive rationale behind the bills, which wed integration of scientific data along with action.

“Climate change is real,” the councilman said, later elaborating, “We know it’s going to rain more and if we don’t take into account what we know is going to happen, and only act reactively, we’re setting ourselves up for failure.”

It seemed an apropos observation on a cold and misty late September afternoon. Constantinides also explained what research would be involved, and how it would be scheduled. “On our first bill we’re going to look at precipitation studies and make sure we start remediation every four years. We’ll look at climate models. We’ll look to make sure that areas like Jamaica Bay, as sea level rises, will not be impacted.”

Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) also attended the conference, in addition to Daneek Miller (D-St. Albans) and Jamaica Bay Ecowatchers Dan Mundy Sr. and Jr., along with other stakeholders. Ulrich spoke of the bay as a group project between the government and community. “[Jamaica Bay] is always going to be a work in progress. There’s always going to be derelict boats, there’s always going to be, unfortunately, illegal dumping going on in the bay, but having watchdogs and advocates and people who live in the communities around

Jamaica Bay keeping a close eye ... is so critical and so important,” Ulrich said. “I think the greatest gift we can give to our children is clean air and clean water, and a better environment. And it’s a bi-partisan issue, it doesn’t matter what party you belong to, what your

politics are, we have a moral, and now [thanks to the bill] a legal obligation,” he added.

When queried on how quickly residents can expect to see changes manifest at the bay, Constantinides made an assurance that these Q bills “have teeth.”

Councilman Costa Constantinides motions to fellow lawmaker Daneek Miller on Friday afternoon while flanked by other officials and activists at a press conference to announce the passing of PHOTO BY MATT WATERS environmental protection bills.

Dems some bad folk Dear Editor: Has there ever been any doubt about what the Democrats are doing? From the moment the nominee was announced, the Democrats indicated that they would oppose him with all that they had.

Receiving documents that surpass all previous nominees would not satisfy them.

Interrogating Judge Kavanaugh would not satisfy them. Additional written questions and responses would not satisfy them. Violation of the process by Sen. Dianne Feinstein would not satisfy them. Releasing the charge after the hearings would not satisfy them.

Even piling on more claims, however outlandish, would not satisfy them.

The Democrats were out to destroy the reputation of Kavanaugh and destroy his family, from his parents to his wife to his child ren. There is nothing that they

E DITOR

would not do.

Remember how outraged the Democrats were when criminal illegal aliens were separated from their families at the border? They were livid, and these people were not citizens. Contrast that scene with the way Democrats attacked Kavanaugh and his family.

They destroyed his family, and they want you to believe that they are compassionate.

The only problem is that their compassion does not apply to Republicans, it only applies to illegal aliens, or corrupt Democrat politicians, or Antifa, or MS-13. And oh yes, abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Law enforcement does not fit their agenda; it does not protect illegal aliens, so they establish sanctuary cities. Democrats prefer illegal aliens over citizens.

The Democrats are not to be trusted, not to be believed. They promise you everything and deliver nothing. And they will always come back for more. There is no honor among them, from Sen. Chuck Schumer to Rep. Nancy Pelosi to Rep. Maxine Waters, and all of their cohorts.

What has been discussed is only the tip of the iceberg, the Democrats, liberals, progressives, socialists or whatever they change their name to cannot disguise their actions.

They do not act for America. Show them the exit and push them out of power.

Richmond Hill set to honor WW I dead A century later, 71 sons of Queens will be remembered for their sacrifice

by Michael Gannon Editor

Upon the entry of the United States into World War I in 1917, Queens, like the rest of the country responded admirably, sending thousands to answer the nation’s call.

Richmond Hill did so at a horrifying cost — 71 of her sons would never come home.

And on Nov. 11, exactly 100 years after the armistice that ended the War to End All Wars in 1918, folks from Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and other neighborhoods will be assembling to make sure they are not forgotten, with ceremonies at the Richmond Hill War Memorial in Forest Park followed by services and presentations at Holy Child Jesus Church.

Carl Ballenas, a Queens historian, said Richmond Hill developed an affinity for its Doughboys, as the Yanks were called.

“A lot of Queens neighborhoods did,” Ballenas said in a recent interview. “Look almost anywhere and you’ll find some sort of World War I memorial.”

Woodhaven, for example, beginning in 1919, planted trees in Forest Park along what is now Memorial Drive to honor each of her war dead.

Then in 1926, the city, at the intersection

of Memorial Drive, Myrtle Avenue and Forest Park South unveiled the Richmond Hill War Memorial with 71 names of those lost sons. Some were from surrounding communities and some would later be found on other monuments nearby.

But Ballenas, who teaches at Immaculate Conception Catholic Academy in Jamaica Estates, said this was special for its time.

It does not memorialize a general on his horse swinging a saber as he leads a glorious cavalry charge.

The doughboy depicted is very young. His rifle now is shouldered; his valuable steel helmet, no longer needed, is slung over his arm. His handsome face is somber as he stares silently, head bowed, at a cross marking the grave of a soldier he fought with, suffered with and possibly knew from home, or maybe not.

Locals long ago informally re-christened the sculpture as “My Buddy.”

On Nov. 11, the ceremonies will include stories of the soldiers from Richmond Hill who died. Through old news clippings, letters and other records they have found photographs and reconstructed biographies, some extensive, others a paragraph or two.

Ballenas said he and others came up

Clockwise from top left, William Holler would go down with his ship, while Robert Gray died training for the new phenomenon of aerial warfare. Carl Sohncke was a printer before leaving civilian life for the Army, while Albert Justis was a cop. And since 1926, their buddy has stood in an unending vigil for them and others in Richmond Hill outside Forest Park.

Unique bookstore marks its first year As independent as they come, Kew & Willow is a little shop of heart

Walking along a stretch of Lefferts Boulevard in the heart of Kew Gardens provides a throwback to a simpler time: side by side one may find a custom tailor, bake shop, barber shop, diner, pharmacy, shoe repair. Only one thing seemed to be lacking — a good ol’-fashioned neighborhood bookshop.

But who, in their right minds, would even consider opening such a place when nearly every other bookstore in the borough had gone belly up, leaving only the last one standing — in Astoria?

Well, three industrious young women — friends and former co-workers at the now-shuttered Barnes & Noble on Austin Street in Forest Hills — dared to undertake the unthinkable and, thanks to them, the needs of local bibliophiles were met. And on Saturday, their store, Kew & Willow Books, located at 81-63 Lefferts Blvd., is celebrating its first anniversary.

Business has been good, according to Natalie Noboa who, on a recent Sunday afternoon, was running the shop on her own, her two partners, Holly Nikodem and Vina Castillo, being out of town. “Everyone has been so supportive.”

According to Noboa, “There had been whispers” about the impending closing of Barnes & Noble, where she was a supervisor. She credits Castillo with the initial idea of opening an independent book shop.

Natalie Noboa in her natural element — the independent bookstore she co-founded in Kew PHOTO BY MARK LORD Gardens a year ago.

At first, “It was talking wistfully. Then the three of us were like, ‘We should actually do it.’

And it snowballed into this,” Noboa said, gesturing to the 700-square-foot store that displays “a good amount of books. Even in this small space, we hold quite a bit.”

And, she pointed out, what’s not in stock can usually be ordered upon a customer’s request and received within three to five business days.

In a separate telephone interview, Castillo

explained that, soon after their former employer closed its doors, the trio began testing the waters. “It came down to the support we had” from neighborhood residents, she said. “We were outside [Barnes & Noble] handing out flyers to see the interest.” And, she pointed out, a petition urging their old workplace to remain open showed there was a strong support group already in place.

The dream became a reality in large part through the generous contributions of a public that longed for a second area bookshop.

Through the Queens Bookstore Initiative, a total of $72,000 from some 800 contributors was collected, capital that went toward securing a space, inventory and a point-of-sale system, Castillo explained.

The store would become the first in the Kew Gardens area since the Austin Book Shop moved to Richmond Hill in 1984.

According to Castillo, Forest Hills was another possible location, but, in the end, high rents forced the three women to reconsider.

While the store offers a sampling of fiction and nonfiction, along with a section of vintage classics ($3 for paperbacks, $5 to $10 for hard covers), Noboa seemed most proud of its dedication to local authors and young readers.

The store has a welcoming feel to it, with good lighting provided in part by a skylight, seating for browsers and a working fireplace on its raised level at the rear, a favorite gathering

spot for the many youngsters who stop by with their parents.

“It was designed to make you feel at home,” Noboa said. “We wanted everyone to love it as much as we do — which is a lot!”

To mark its first year, the shop is sponsoring a special event on Oct. 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Cupcakes, drinks and giveaways will be offered, and all purchases over $50 receive a free blind date book — a mystery until it’s unwrapped. In addition, all best-selling hard covers and new releases will be 15 percent off.

Recent events, all free, included, on Sept. 28, Noir at the Bar, featuring a little wine and a lineup of more than a dozen mystery authors who read from their published works as well as from works in progress.

That was followed on Sept. 30 by an installment of the Friends of Maple Grove Cemetery’s Literary Sundays Reading Series, featuring Queens writers Sokunthary Svay and Sherese Francis reading from their latest work. An open mic and light refreshments will also be on tap.

Upcoming attractions at the shop include, on Oct. 25, “The Trump Effect on the Horror Genre,” from 7 to 9 p.m. and, on Nov. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., a book signing for the new publication, “City of Dogs,” which spotlights Queens canines, their neighborhoods and the people who love them.

“I think our store is in it,” Noboa confided. continued on page 18

Noise, expansion top JFK meeting agenda Community benefits agreement can be had with airport reconstruction

by Michael Gannon Editor

Meetings of the JFK Airport Committee always deal in one way or another with noise.

But on Monday evening the talk also included the pending rebuilding of the airport, and just how the surrounding communities might reap benefits.

Community benefit agreements now have become standard with major airport projects around the country, and several groups in Southeast Queens, the Rockaways and Nassau County have begun identifying just what they believe should be done with a portion of the $10 billion Gov. Cuomo wants to spend.

The JFK group is a subcommittee of the New York Community Aviation Roundtable.

“We need to start thinking about what the Community Benefits Agreement should be,” said Barbara Brown, chairwoman of both the committee and the Eastern Queens Alliance, speaking to more than 50 at the offices of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce.

Typical was one reached over the most recent work at Los Angeles International Airport in 2014, which included: • noise mitigation for homes; • job training and priority local hiring; • health and air quality studies; • traffic studies; and • opportunities for small and MWBE busi-

Audience member Josie Maldonado, who works at Pathways College Prep High School in St. Albans, said she would like to see any such agreement include outreach to area students who might not have thought about jobs or careers at or related to JFK “I don’t hear a lot of kids talking about working at the airport, becoming flight attendants or the mechanics who work on the

planes,” she said.

Several people on the panel and in the audience brought up the possibility of what sometimes is referred to as a curfew between midnight and 6 a.m. at LaGuardia Airport to the north, which would give residents in places like Rosedale and Laurelton a small break.

But a representative of the Federal Aviation Administration said there is no such voluntary curfew, and that much of that time at

Airport wages to $19 by ’23 Port Authority approves incremental hikes in pay

by Matt Waters Associate Editor

Airport workers at LaGuardia and J FK will see their minimum wage increase from t he cu r rent $13 to $19 by 2023. Wages will rise in an i ncrement al fa sh ion, f rom

$15.60 in 2019, to $16.20 in 2020, to $17 in 2021, to $18 in 2022 before settling one dollar higher in 2023.

pertained to the agency determining pay scales for privately owned companies.

“This campaig n is about respect and paying a fair living wage for honest work in an industry that depends on its employees to safely operate some of the most important public facilities in our nation,” said Gover nor Cuomo in a Port Authority statement.

T he Por t Author it y says that more than 30 percent of privately employed workers at their airports turn over every year, with the tur nover rate having increased by 50 percent since 2010. Such inconsistency, they argue, hampers security.

Newa rk a i r por t worke r s will have to wait until September 2019 just to be on an equal salary level with their breth ren at LaGuardia and J FK, star ting f rom a lower f loor at their current $10.45 minimum wage salar y. Following that adjustment, wages will rise concurrently across Q the three airports.

LaGuardia is used for runway maintenance.

It also was pointed out that JFK needs extensive night operations to deal with two things LaGuardia does not have — international flights and a full schedule of cargo planes, the latter of which often have trouble getting assigned to daytime takeoff slots.

Bill Huisman, the facilitator for the group’s meetings, said the FAA continues to have a two-pronged approach to airport noise reduction — source noise, or creating newer, quieter engines; and mitigation once planes have left the ground.

Multiple speakers suggested things such as different takeoff routes or steeper angles after takeoff. But different routes, they were told, inevitably would have ripple effects as they crossed into airspace already being used by LaGuardia and incoming traffic from the south and southwest.

And committee member Larry Hoppenhauer of Lynbrook said tinkering with takeoff angles and landing approaches merely moves the noise around.

“I live six miles from the airport, where the planes are at about 2,000 feet,” he said. Having the plane climb faster,” he said, could have it at 4,300 feet before reaching his home — at the expense of blasting those closer to JFK with even more noise.

Q “It’s a trade-off,” he said.

An Astoria resident made national headlines by confronting a state senator in a Capitol Hill elevator last Friday.

Activist Ana Maria Archila introduced herself to U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) stemming from her disapproval of Flake’s possible support of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Archila and another woman, Maria Gallagher, questioned Flake on live television.

“What you are doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit on the Supreme Court,” Archila said to Flake. “This is not tolerable. You have child ren in you r family. Thin k about them.”

Kavanaugh was nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court by President Trump in July. In September, Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University, said that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers. Two more women have come out and accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

He has denied the claims.

In an op-ed for USA Today, Archila wrote that she was sexually abused when she was 5 years old. The two adults she told didn’t believe her and she kept the secret until last week. Not even her parents knew about it.

“But Christine Blasey Ford told her story to protect our country and, in solidarity with her and as a way to thank her, I decided to tell mine,” Archila wrote.

She had told her abuse story outside Flake’s off ice at the beginning of the

week, before instigating the impromptu face-to-face meeting with the senator.

Flake later announced he wouldn’t vote to approve Kavanaugh until after an FBI investigation.

C o u n c i l m a n J i m m y Va n B r a m e r (D-Sunnyside) tweeted that he was “so proud” of Archila and added that it was “such a powerful moment.”

In an interview with National Public Radio, Archila said, “I think Kavanaugh’s really dangerous for this country. I think he’s dangerous for women. I think he’s dangerous for people who desperately need health care. And I think he’s dangerous because he will undermine the legitimacy of the court.”

She added that as a gay woman who is raising two kids with her wife, she is afraid for her family.

Archila is co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy and is also a national committee member of the Working Families Party.

The CPR’s website says, “To us, popular democracy is about building power from communities up and empowering people to participate fully in their democracy.”

Archila emigrated to the United States from Colombia when she was 17. She served as executive director of the Latin American Integration Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization attempting to revit alize im m ig rant com mu n ities in Queens and Staten Island.

She is also the board co-chairperson of the grassroots organization Make the Road New York, which has similar goals to the Q LAIC.

MILA-074693

The Taxi & Limousine commission last month began running a two-year trial called Flex-Fare in which participating yellow and green taxis have the option of offering customers flat fees in advance to see how app dispatch can help them compete against the ride-share cars.

Now one of the three app companies involved is taking the experiment —and the competition — up a notch.

Waave Inc. announced last week that it plans to sign up green taxis in the outer boroughs, as well as riders who want to take an opportunity to comparison-shop.

Myle Technology and Wapanda Inc. also are in the TLC study. Among the options for riders using one of the three companies is that of setting a pre-arranged f lat fee rather than using the meter.

The TLC said metered rides are not going away, but if one has gotten a “binding fare quote” when using one of the app services, the meter will not be turned on.

Daniel Iger, CEO of Waave, told the Chronicle that moving to the outer boroughs will benefit drivers, riders and his company.

“Yellow and green taxis are still there;

they just need the right tools,” Iger said in a telephone interview.

In a press release sent last week, Iger said he sees an opportunity comes from the very reason green taxis were created in the first place — to service areas where yellow taxi presence was lacking.

He told the Chronicle that riders will be able to check a given yellow or green car ride against those from established apps like Lyft and Uber.

“I want them to compare,” he said.

The company said wait times might be a little longer than usual as the program starts, but that they should get quicker as more drivers sign up.

He also said yellow and green taxi drivers, equipped with modern tools, will see their incomes rise.

TLC Commissioner Meera Joshi, in a statement issued by the agency on Tuesday, also saw the opportunity for a win-win outcome.

“The Flex-Fare pilot lets yellow and green cabs offer passengers the best of both worlds,” Joshi said. “Passengers get the quick convenience of a taxicab, and the price certainty of a for-hire vehicle, while drivers can offer a new product that is Q already popular with many riders.”

Kew Willow Books at one year continued from page 12 According to Noboa, the shop seems to attract both casual passersby and book lovers from farther away.

Recent customers included Elaine Howes and Bill Rosenthal, a couple from Rego Park, who stop by on an average of once a month.

“Usually we stop in here whenever we’re in the neighborhood,” Rosenthal said.

“Sometimes we come in for a particular book. We like the emphasis on local authors very much.”

“I’m thrilled there’s an independent book store. They’ve ordered things for me before,

which is nice,” Howes said.

And, Castillo said, she and her partners also present off-site events, at locations such as Queens College, the Queens Library and meet-the-author book signings. All in all, she added, things have been going “pretty well.”

An online component is planned for the near future.

As for Noboa, she wanted everyone to know “how grateful we are,” saying, “We would not be here without the community and we’re here for the community. A thousand thank-yous to everyone who Q supports us.”

Street co-named for late firefighter William Tolley remembered for his bravery in tribute at firehouse

by David Russell Associate Editor

Late firefighter William Tolley was honored last Wednesday with a plaque dedication and street co-naming at Engine 286/Ladder 135 in Glendale, where he served.

“Billy’s life, his service, and his sacrifice deserve our undying memory,” said Mayor de Blasio. “Fighting fires was his childhood dream and he lived it, from rushing to Ground Zero as a volunteer firefighter to answering the call for 14 years with the FDNY.” Tolley died in April 2017 when he fell five stories from a tower ladder bucket next to the roof of a burning Ridgewood apartment building. The FDNY was called to the site to fight a blaze sparked when someone burned incense for religious reasons then left it unattended.

A corner next to the firehouse, at Myrtle Avenue and 66th Place, was named for Tolley.

“It’s always very emotional,” Councilman Bob Holden (D-Middle Village) told the Chronicle in a phone interview.

Holden added, “You go off to work, you think you’re going to come home, you have your whole day planned, you have the weekend planned and this happens.”

Holden remembered Tolley’s tragic death and said in the days leading up to the ceremony he looked more into his life. Tolley was the drummer for Long Island death metal band called Internal Bleeding.

Holden said the research was important but made giving his speech at the ceremony even more difficult because he felt like he knew him from hearing his voice and watching him online.

“It looked like he loved life so much,” Holden said.

A 14-year veteran of the FDNY, Tolley was someone whom the younger firefighters looked up to.

“Today, we honor Billy’s remarkable life and his incredible career of service,” said Commissioner Daniel Nigro. “Billy’s name and memory will forever be a part of the firehouse he loved and the neighborhood he bravely served.”

Tolley, who was 42, is survived by his wife, Marie, and daughter, Isabella.

He was the 1,147th firefighter to die in the line of duty.

“Being a New York City firefighter is not simply what we do, it’s who we are and that is so incredibly true for a man like Billy,” said Chief of Department James Leonard. “Every single day, he went into dangerous situations to help others no matter what the danger presented.”

Holden met Tolley’s brother, Robert, who started the Fires and Drums Foundation, which will provide support to the families of fallen First Responders.

The councilman thought about Tolley’s family suffering.

“When that happens we can’t imagine,” Holden said. “When he goes off to work and the wife and the child or any of the family will never see him again. That’s so traumatic.

It’s so horrible to imagine.”

Now his name will be memorialized by the firehouse.

“Glendale will always remember him, not only with the plaque and the sign but the memory of all his service and all the years he Q gave,” Holden said.

Advisory panel speaks with EDC at quarterly Iron Triangle meeting

by Ryan Brady Associate Editor

During the Bloomberg years, the city gave the Queens Development Group two acres of previously city-owned Willets Point land for $1, back when the developer was supposed to build a 1.4 million-square-foot mega-mall on the Citi Field parking lot across the street.

And even though the state Court of Appeals struck down the mega-mall plan last year, the developer still owns the two acres.

In February, the de Blasio administration announced Phase 1A of its plan for redeveloping the blighted Iron Triangle: 1,100 affordable housing units and a school to be built on six acres of land at Willets Point.

A task force was formed to make recommendations for the other 17 acres of Phase 1 land that will be built upon next.

The QDG, a joint venture between the Related Companies and the Mets-controlled Sterling Equities, is contracted to develop Phase 1A. But it hasn’t been officially selected for 1B, despite still being in possession of the two acres, which fall in the second phase’s area.

Activist group Willets Point United has called on City Hall to exercise a call option in its contract with the developer to take back the two acres. The deadline to do so is Dec. 31.

Community Board 7 First Vice Chairman Chuck Apelian is on the same page as WPU about the issue. He told officials at his panel’s quarterly Willets Point meeting last Wednesday that the city must repossess the two acres.

“We’re asking — and we want to be certain — that that takes place,” Apelian told representatives of the city Economic Development Corp.

He estimates the land — which the QDG got for a dollar —

is worth $91 million.

“We just want to make sure that this is not going to just disappear under the radar,” Apelian added. He said CB 7 would send a letter about the situation to the EDC to follow up on the two acres.

Other members of the board, like Joe Sweeney and Kim Ohanian, also expressed frustration about the situation.

Jennifer Cohen of the EDC explained that the plan is to exercise the call option by the deadline. She explained that if the QDG is selected as the contractor for Phase 1B, the two acres will then be leased to the developer.

The city is doing the same for Phase 1A, leasing rather than selling its six acres to the developer.

Also discussed at the CB 7 quarterly meeting was the possibility of Delta Air Lines having a temporary, 665-space parking lot in the Phase 1B area. If constructed, a lot very well could impact the Willets Point redevelopment.

The company, which is having its LaGuardia Airport terminal rebuilt, has not reached any agreement with the city about the matter. According to Crain’s New York, the renovation has made parking problematic for Delta contractors.

EDC Vice President Gillian Connell said the city, the development corporation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have had discussions about Delta’s desire for a temporary parking lot at Willets Point.

But that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, Connell added.

“The city does not want anything to get in the way of development at Willets Point,” she said.

Cohen clarified that the conversations were not limited to using space in the Iron Triangle specifically; they were about issues at LaGuardia in general.

Driver sought in Jamaica fatal Police are still looking for the driver involved in a fatal accident that killed a 70-year-old Nassau County woman in Jamaica on Sept. 25.

According to the NYPD, Clara Duran-Rodriguez of Burtis Avenue in Rockville Centre was killed at approximately 7 a.m. near the intersection of Linden Boulevard and 169th Street in the 113th Precinct.

A preliminary investigation determined that Duran-Rodriguez was walking west along Linden when she attempted to cross the street outside a marked crosswalk and was struck by an unknown vehicle. Police said the driver fled the scene. EMS personnel responded and transported Duran-Rodriguez to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.

They are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public also can submit tips by logging onto nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting 274637 (CRIMES), then entering TIP577.

continued from page 2 proposed new jails in Kew Gardens and the rest of the city [are] not progressive,” Vishwasrao said.

Another speaker was William Kregler, who ran against Melinda Katz for borough president last year. He said he thinks he knows the real problem.

“The judicial system, it’s bloated, it’s overbureaucratic and it’s corrupted by politics,” Kregler, a former law enforcement officer, said.

He also said the mayor is too easy on crime. “Now it’s laissez-faire,” Kregler said.

“Do whatever you want. We’ll decriminalize everything for God’s sake.”

And Kregler added that he thinks the city sees the plan as a money-maker. “‘We’ll make a great profiteering scheme just like our homeless shelters and hotels which are popping up without your approval,’” he said to loud applause.

The common arguments against bringing jails into the neighborhoods are that crime will increase and property values will decrease.

But according to city numbers, in 2012, the year the Brooklyn detention center opened,

the area experienced a steeper reduction in crime than any other precinct in Brooklyn North. Since then the precinct has seen a 20 percent decrease in crime as opposed to 14 percent citywide, and the average home sale price increased 14 percent.

Silvia Hack, president of the Kew Gardens Improvement Association, had previously listened to Kaplan speak and heard her say that she engaged in community meetings. “Well that isn’t true,” Hack said. “I don’t know what you mean by community but you have not been in the communities that this proposal will affect.”

Kaplan had also showed some modern designs for jails. “What you failed to say is that they are very small, they are very

low-rise, they are not 29 stories, they do not require elevators to move people up and down and they sit in areas surrounded by lots of open land,” Hack said.

In a statement, Patrick Gallahue, senior press director for the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, said, “We deeply value the community’s responses and look forward to a thorough engagement process. After the scoping meetings there will be more engagement to come, including comment periods on the draft Environmental Impact Statement, community board hearings and meetings in other public forums, as well as ongoing conversations in public and private with civic groups, elected officials and other interested groups Q and individuals.”

continued from page 4 City charter schools continued to outperform counterparts in the state — and the city.

State statistics said students at city charters had 59.6 percent of their students testing proficient in math, up from 51.7 percent a year ago.

In ELA, 57.3 percent of tested charter students earned proficiency, up from 48.2 percent last year.

Charter schools throughout the state as a group outperformed noncharters in both categories.

Starting in spring 2018, the New York State Education Department reduced the number of testing days from three to two per exam. De Blasio’s statement said because of this and other changes to the state exams in 2018, the New York State Education Department has advised that 2018 results should not be compared to 2017 results.

Carranza said other indicators that “New York City schools are the strongest they’ve ever been across multiple measures” include the highest-ever graduation rate at 74.3 percent of the Class of 2017; as well as the lowestever dropout rate at 7.8 percent.

He said the class of 2016 had the highest-ever postsecondary enrollment rate — 57 percent — in city history. Q

Richmond Hill WW I ceremony continued from page 12 Society and Helen Day of the Richmond Hill Historical Society, were among those lending great support to the effort.

If the 71 men listed on the My Buddy Memorial seem to be the boys next door, the biographies compiled show that they were. Mortimer Benjamin missed the horrific Battle of Verdun by two years, though he would die there as a member of the 109th Machine Gun Corps at 22.

Seaman William Holler was presumed killed on Nov. 5, 1917 when his patrol boat, the “Alcedo,” was torpedoed off the French coast. Seaman Charles Gans, listed from Jamaica, would meet the same fate exactly one year later on Nov. 5, 1918 — six days before the armistice was signed.

Sgt. Fred Shire, an electrical ignition expert, survived the war only to be killed in France in a truck accident as he was preparing to come home.

Carl Sohncke, 22, of Woodside, was a printer before he joined the Army. Killed in an infantry engagement at Cantigny in May of 1918, he would posthumously be promoted to sergeant.

Charles Worth, killed on Nov. 10, was buried with full military honors at Maple Grove Cemetery.

Albert Justis was a member of the NYPD, working at the 23rd Precinct when he went off to war. Wounded in France in

early November, he would live long enough to see the peace he had fought for, only to die eight days later.

Not all were killed in combat. Finlay Millar, assigned to an artillery unit, developed tuberculosis and was sent to Lake Placid on leave. He would die at 22.

Chief Petty Officer Fred Reif, training in Newport, RI to be a diver, drowned in an exercise when his helmet came loose.

In a day when aerial combat was in its infancy and there still were relatively few planes in the skies, Cadet Robert Gray Jr. was training to be a pilot when his plane collided with another in midair over Memphis, Tenn. killing the 20-year-old flier and two others.

Ye o m a n C u t h b e r t Mu r p hy w a s assigned stateside in the Navy. He died at age 19, not on a godforsaken battlefield across the ocean, but of an undisclosed illness in the Richmond Hill house where he was born. His funeral was at St. Benedict Joseph Labre Church.

At the same time in history, the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 would kill between 50 and 100 million around the world. Pvt. Fred Sundermier would succumb to the flu in a British field hospital on Nov. 4, 1918. Pvt. Joseph Sheridan, a member of the Medical Corps Reserves and a medical student at Cornell University, would lose his battle to the flu in RichQ mond Hill in January 1919.

TFCU picks up LOMTO Federal Credit Union

by Michael Gannon Editor

One month after acquiring the former Melrose Credit Union, Long Island-based Teachers Federal Credit Union continued its long-desired expansion into Queens by acquiring the assets of another troubled institution.

TFCU announced on Monday that it has acquired all shares of the Woodsidebased LOMTO Federal Credit Union and some of its loans and other assets.

The National Credit Union Administration, which regulates credit unions, liquidated LOMTO on Sunday.

“TFCU’s newest members will gain access to 28 f ull-ser vice branches throughout Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as 5,600 shared service community centers across the country,” TFCU said in a statement issued Monday.

The NCUA, in a press release, reaffirmed that former LOMTO customers should see no interruption of service, and that their accounts remain federally insured up to $250,000.

LOMTO has 2,283 members and assets of just over $156 million as of its last call

report on June 30. TFCU officials said their new members will be able to take advantage of a number of services, including mobile banking, mobile check deposit and digital wallets for Apple, Samsung and Smart Watch integration.

The NCUA has retained some of LOMTO’s loans. Those seeking information on the status of their loans can write to LOMTO Federal Credit Union c/o National Credit Union Administration, 4807 Spicewood Springs Road, Austin, TX 78759. They also may call (512) 231-7940.

Both entities said LOMTO’s offices at 50-24 Queens Blvd. in Woodside and 180 Riverside Blvd. in Manhattan will remain open.

Like Melrose, LOMTO had strong ties to the yellow taxi industry. Its website says it was formed by a group of medallion taxi owners in 1936 under the League of Municipal Taxi Owners.

New TFCU members seeking further information can call (631) 698-7000 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and until 6 p.m. on Thursdays and Q Fridays.

Plan, which was opposed by some politicians and residents, will go on

by David Russell Associate Editor

There has been a delay in the fourth and final phase of the Queens Boulevard redesign but the project will continue.

New bike lanes and safety improvements on the boulevard between Yellowstone Boulevard and Union Turnpike were originally planned to be implemented in July.

“We haven’t seen anything on the ground since,” said Peter Beadle, co-chair of Transportation Alternatives’ Queens Activist Committee.

“Hopefully it’s just an operational issue,” Beadle added.

Seth Stein, spokesman for the Mayor’s Office, told the Chronicle, “We are moving forward with this redesign. We are currently in close communication with the community and stakeholders on final execution.”

A spokesman for Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) said that he didn’t have any more specif ics on the updates.

“Generally there are updates and projections and in this instance we aren’t aware of any,” Michael Cohen said.

Frank Gulluscio, district manager of Community Board 6, said that the city should start soon if officials want it to be done by winter.

Safety improvements on Queens Boulevard between Yellowstone Boulevard and Union Turnpike were scheduled to start in July. A city spokesman said that they are moving forward with the PHOTO BY DAVID RUSSELL planned redesign.

The plan was not a popular one in the community.

“The board voted against it,” Gulluscio said. “We don’t want anything bad to happen to businesses, to the tax base. We don’t want to see anything bad to seniors crossing the street.”

It wasn’t only the community board voic-

ing objection.

“The way it was left in June, Councilwoman Koslowitz had a meeting with Queens [Department of Transportation] and she voiced her objections to the plan,” Cohen said. “The objections were primarily about the loss of parking spaces and we’re waiting to see if indeed a new plan will be

put forth.”

Koslowitz has had a contentious battle with the bikes. At first she supported the redesign project, which includes removing the service road parking lanes along the medians and replacing them with bike lanes.

She scaled back her support after hearing a multitude of complaints from residents and business owners.

Ben’s Best deli owner Jay Parker made no secret of the fact that he believed the bike lanes were the cause of his Rego Park business closing after 73 years.

Over the summer, Koslowitz told the Chronicle that she had been planning a rally in opposition to the bike lanes but decided not to out of concern that cyclists would “sabotage” it.

Part of the tension in the borough is because some feel that Mayor de Blasio doesn’t care about community input. Two years ago, Community Board 4 voted against the bike lane portion of the project but de Blasio told the DOT to move ahead with it anyway.

Supporters of the mayor and his Vision Zero plan point out that no pedestrian has been killed in several years on what was long known as the “Boulevard of Death.” In Q 1997 alone, 18 pedestrians were killed.

Film fondly cruises Francis Lewis Blvd.

‘Cruise’ is a love story full of 1980s nostalgia and memories of Queens

by David Russell Associate Editor

“Cruise” is a new movie from the mind of Gino Cafarelli, who grew up in Flushing driving up and down Francis Lewis Boulevard.

He is the executive producer and had written the original story which he planned on sending around as a pilot before it was picked up as a movie. He also plays the father of the main character, Gio, played by Spencer Boldman.

“You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to realize the guy’s name is Gio and my name is Gino,” Cafarelli said of the inspiration.

The movie, written and directed by Robert Siegel, is a love story between an Italian boy from Queens and a Jewish girl from Long Island but also doubles as a love letter to the 1980s.

As Cafarelli says, “Who doesn’t remember their first car, their first love or the first good time they had with their buddies over that summer?”

When Cafarelli was in Los Angeles 10 years ago, he was told to stay authentic and write about what he knew. And one thing he knew was Queens in the 1980s. As the tagline for the movie goes, “’87 was Heaven.”

There’s also an impressive soundtrack consisting of contemporary songs. “The music definitely sets the tone of the movie, that peri-

Character actor Gino Cafarelli grew up driving along Francis Lewis Boulevard. Those memories from three decades ago are the inspiration for his new movie “Cruise,” which is showing around PHOTO COURTESY GINO CAFARELLI the country, including at the Kew Gardens Cinemas. od and that year,” Cafarelli said.

Of course not everything was more convenient back then. Making plans couldn’t be done with a quick text.

In the opening scene, Gio yells down the block to his friend to see if 8:30 is a good time to go cruising in his “Smokin’ Six.” The mes-

sage is screamed to another friend at the end of the block who gives them an OK sign.

Gio makes some money stealing car radios.

The cars that have the “No radio inside” signs are dead giveaways.

When Cafarelli attended Holy Cross High School, he would obtain cases of Armor All

and sell them to classmates.

“At five bucks a pop in 1987 out of your locker, pretty lucrative,” Cafarelli said.

The characters in the movie are confident, especially with their beloved Mets as defending World Champions, even if they don’t know they have their whole lives ahead of them.

When Gio’s girlfriend, played by Emily Ratajkowski, asks him what he wants to do with his life, he admits he’s never thought about it.

Boldman, who has starred in Disney shows, won the role over actors who “were trying to act with a New York accent,” as Cafarelli described it.

Cafarelli said Boldman’s deep voice reminds him of Sylvester Stallone while his looks remind him of a young Matt Dillon.

Cafarelli shares screen time wtih him at the dinner table as Gio’s parents don’t appreciate how he checks his beeper during dinner and leaves early to meet up with friends. Cafarelli played the character based on his real father.

“He would always make those funny remarks at the table,” he said. “So would my mom.”

After working on the film for a decade, Cafarelli can enjoy the finished product.

“People are really happy that I stuck through with it because I didn’t give up on it,” Q Cafarelli said.

THAT’S A GOOD LOOK ON YOU. We don’t have shareholders, we have you. That’s why we offer plans that include vision, acupuncture, and the area’s largest dental network.

Why choose a Catholic school?

Where faith and education meet As parents you want the best for your children. It is because you SECTION wish them success in all of life’s challenges that Catholic schools are the right choice.

Catholic schools provide an educational program based on religious beliefs and values, enabling your children to grow in their understanding of themselves, their relat ionsh ip w it h God a nd t hei r relat ion sh ip with others.

Catholic schools promote the education of young people to their full potential; their teachers respect and encou rage real learning experiences. Your children acquire knowledge and develop the skills necessary for success in higher educational pursuits and a wide range of careers.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS

Catholic schools offer a community environment in which your children can discuss and live out the values upon which their education is based. They are encouraged to cont r ibute to societ y and to assume leadership roles in shaping public attitudes and programs.

In Catholic schools, young people lear n to question, to establish confidence in their own good choices in life and to experience the sense of accomplishment stemming from individual achievement and responsibility. Take this opportunity to learn about Catholic schools in Queens.

Whichever school you choose, you ca n be assured that your child will receive a strong academic education in an environment str uctured to have a lasting value. Q — TACHS

Why invest in a Catholic education?

This is one of the most important investments you can make in your child’s future. Catholic schools support you — the parents and guardians — in forming morals, values, character, responsibility and academic achievement. Catholic high schools make a difference.

• Scholarships awarded to the students in the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens and the Archdiocese of New York exceed $350 million.

• An average of 96 percent of Catholic high school students in these dioceses go on to higher education.

• The graduation rate at each Catholic high school in these dioceses is 95 to 98 percent.

• The attendance rate at each Catholic high school is 95 to 98 percent.

• 100 percent of Catholic school students perform some form of community service.

• More than 80 percent of the students in Catholic high schools take advanced courses beyond the required core courses in the arts, foreign language, literature, social studies, mathematics and science.

• Catholic schools — whether small, medium-sized or large — offer an education that is personal; teachers know their students, their strengths and weaknesses, and their learning styles.

• All of the schools have programs for tutoring, extra-help, or study skills.

• All Catholic high schools have Advanced Placement courses and programs for college credit with local colleges and universities.

• All of the Catholic high schools are safe places for children to learn; there are security systems and there are rigorous disciplinary and no-tolerance policies regarding violence and bullying. Q — TACHS

Facts about the TACHS exam The Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools (TACHS) will test eighth-grade students who are interSECTION ested in attending a Catholic high school beginning in September 2019. In order to be admitted into Catholic high schools, students must take an admissions examination on Nov. 3, 2018. The results from that examination, along with school records and other information, are then sent to the high school principals to assist them in making admission decisions. Each student’s information will be sent to three high schools of his/her choice. Results also will be sent to the Catholic elementary schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens or Archdiocese of New York.

The TACHS measures academic achievement in reading, written expression and mathematics, along with general reasoning skills. The test has been developed with the advice and approval of diocesan representatives.

There is a nonrefundable examination fee of $63 for the student handbook, test materials and the reporting of scores to three high schools of a student’s choice. Duplicate registrations may result in a processing fee.

The TACHS is only for current eighth-graders. To apply to a Catholic high school for a grade other than the ninth grade students should apply directly to that high school. A student may take the TACHS examination only once.

A home report will be provided for each student after high school notifications have been mailed in January 2019.

For Catholic school students within the Archdiocese of New York or the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens, the home report will be sent to the elementary school for distribution. For public, private and nondiocesan school students, the home report will be sent to the student’s home address. All TACHS test results are final. No rescoring will be done.

• Mathematics — Questions on the mathematics test are drawn from the areas of number sense and operations, algebraic patterns and connections, data analysis/probability/ statistics, geometry and measurement.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS

• Ability — This test measures students’ learned reasoning abilities. Although grounded in biological processes, these abilities are developed through in-school and out-ofschool experiences. The questions assess students’ abilities to reason with somewhat more novel questions that use spatial and figural content. The questions show how well students use their reasoning skills to solve problems they may or may not have been directly taught.

Content of the TACHS examination The TACHS exam contains subtests measuring both achievement and ability. The tests, with brief descriptions, are as follows: • Reading — In the reading test, students will be presented with a variety of materials, both informational and literary. The questions will measure students’ ability to answer questions in factual, interpretative and evaluative comprehension. They may have to answer questions about main idea, author’s purpose, the meaning of a word in context and other types of comprehension questions.

• Written expression — This is a test about writing in standard English. Some of the questions focus on the most appropriate way to express the ideas in a piece of writing.

Questions may address organization, sentence structure, clarity, and effective or appropriateness of expression. Other questions ask students to identify the line of text that contains an error.

Test information Before the test, make sure you get a full night’s sleep, eat breakfast, know how far away your test site is and allow plenty of time to get there, bring your admit card and identification with you and several No. 2 pencils with erasers.

Make sure the pencils are sharp and the erasers are clean.

Don’t bring any notes, books, or scratch paper with you.

Don’t bring a calculator, a watch, a cell phone or any electronic devices with you. You won’t be allowed to take any of these into the examination room.

During the test be sure to read the directions and listen carefully. Make sure you understand the directions in the test booklet before starting the test. Students are not allowed to write in the test booklet.

For additional information on the TACHS exam or special test accommodations, within the Diocese of Brooklyn/ Queens, call the diocese at (718) 965-7300, ext. 5421.

ARTS, CULTURE & LIVING

by Michael Gannon

Gawk at an

The remnants of a small tunic in Queens College’s Godwin-Ternback Museum tell a ssad d story. t The garment was recovered fr from r a tomb. The cloth and needlework indicate the we wearer earer was a child of privilege.

“It even has folds in the cloth so it could be let down as the child grew,” said professor Warren Woodfin, the Kallinkeion assistant professor in the Ar t and His tor y depar tment s at Queens College.

“Unfortunately,” he said, pointing through the glass display case to the undisturbed hem, “they never needed to.”

Woodfin is the curator of “From the Desert to the City: The Journey of Late Ancient Textiles,” an exhibit on display at the museum through Dec. 13. It features Egyptian textiles, many in the museum’s permanent collection, that were discovered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Much of the GTM collection was a gift from the late Rose Choron. Other items are on loan from the Brooklyn Museum. Modern works by artists Caroline Wells Chandler of Queens and Gail Rothschild of Brooklyn that were inspired by the ornate patches, panels and clothing are also on display.

“The term ‘late ancient’ applies to the third to seventh centuries AD,” Woodfin said. The finds of that era also are known as “Coptic textiles” a name taken from the Christian set. But Woodfin personally finds that to be somewhat limiting.

“You could have items influenced by Jews, Greeks, Arabs and Africans,” he explained.

He added while there are known to have been similar items in other parts of the world, the deserts of Egypt allowed more of its native works to survive for discovery in later centuries than those in places with more temperate climates.

“They survived because it didn’t rain,” he said.

The more elaborate the weaving and needlework, the wealthier and more prominent the individual. Purple was the color of royalty. One bottle on display shows a small sample of Tyrian purple, a dye taken from a sea snail.

“Its use was limited to the royal court — by law,” Woodfin said, referring to what appeared to be a few small drops in the bottle obtained commercially in New York.

A Latino version of “Aesop’s Fables.”

That’s how Woodside resident MarkEugene Garcia describes his play “Eight Tales of Pedro,” the big winner of this year’s Unfringed Festival at The Secret Theatre in Long Island City, where it is being brought back by popular demand for an 11-performance run beginning today, Oct. 4.

Based on the adventures of folkloric characters Pedro Urdemales and Juan Bobo, the play encompasses two sets of storytellers, some in the present and some in the 17th century, who risk everything for a new life. As the play progresses, their

lives and plots intertwine, leading to the same conclusion.

“This play has a lot of heart,” said Richard Mazda, the theater’s artistic director.

“It’s poignant and thought-provoking but equally has laughs and warm, human moments.”

And, further setting it apart, it features an all-Latino cast and creative team, a fact that has been receiving much attention, to the wonderment of its director, Rodrigo Ernesto Bolaños.

“It’s actually a little surprising,” he said. “I never thought labeling a team as all-Latino would be important.”

He sees the play as “a piece to share and start a conversation with,” particularly for those who have “no idea what immigrants go through every day.” He hopes it “will remain in their minds.”

Garcia believes the play is particularly relevant today. “We are in a time when pride in our heritage is more important than ever,” he said. “We need a hero to remind us that in heritage there is honor, family and hope. I’ve been looking for a reason to tell the stories.”

It was a comment about his ethnicity,

“There was a lot of tension there,” Garcia recalled of the incident.

He had been pondering ways and reasons to tell the stories, having worked on several

drafts over a period of about five years, he said. Following the exchange at work, “It fell into place very quickly.”

Further incentive came from Garcia’s “Where do I belong?” self-doubts. “It’s a validation of my own heritage,” he continued on page 41

Annual harvest festival returns in Ridgewood

by David Russell associate editor

The annual harvest festival presented by the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society returns this Sunday at the Onderdonk House.

“It’s something for the whole family because we have things for children, we have arts and crafts, we have pumpkins for the first 500 children and for adults we have food and entertainment,” said Steve Monte, president of the historical society.

Another popular activity is cider-making with a cider press and apples.

“Some of them are really interested in the cider being made,” Monte said. “And then of course they can drink it.”

Harvest Festival When: Sun., Oct. 7, 12-5 p.m.

Where: Onderdonk House, 1820 Flushing Ave., Ridgewood Entry: $5; kids under 13 free with adult. (718) 456-1776, onderdonkhouse.org

With the calendar having turned to October, Monte says the pumpkin patch is the best part of the festival.

“They go into the pumpkin patch that we make up and there are pumpkins scattered about on hay within the patch,” Monte said. “And the child goes into the patch and picks out their own pumpkin. I’d say that’s the most fun.”

DJ Frank is also on hand to provide entertainment.

The biggest crowd at this event reached 2,000. Monte said 500 would be a nice crowd although the attendance depends on the weather.

There will be face painting, which there’s always a line for. And there will be a bouncy castle. “The kids love that,” Monte said.

A staple of the festival is Nollaig the Wizard, portrayed by Richard Bossong. Nollaig means Christmas in Gaelic. “I just thought it would be a great wizard’s name,” Bossong said.

Nollaig has been performing at the festival for more than 15 years. He said the children enjoy the magic that is done up close, including some tricks with small coins and silver dollars.

A favorite trick has Nollaig holding a ball in one hand, a participant holding a ball and Nollaig’s ball disappearing and magically winding up in the participant’s other hand.

“Magic that happens in people’s hands is, I find, the most effective,” he said.

Another trick enjoyed by children is one

in which Nollaig blows bubbles, catches one which turns into a clear crystal ball and then dissolves.

Admission is $5. Children 12 and under get in for free with an adult. The admission includes self-guided tours of the Onderdonk Q House.

“This is about $100 for less than 1/8 of a teaspoon,” he said. But some in ancient times found ways around the royal decrees, creating dyes of their own from indigo and other materials much easier to come across.

Two ancient cloth sleeve bands show imagination as well as loom craft. Looking one way, they depict a scene of sea nymphs swimming. Look from a different angle and dancers appear.

“It just depends on what direction you hold your arms in,” the professor said.

is made of linen with various colors of wool. The woman depicted in the central portrait has a bug-eyed stare that Woodfin said could indicate it was used to ward off an ancient Egyptian incarnation of the evil eye.

“If you were wealthy, people might give you the evil eye,” he said.

The patch is believed to have originated between the fourth and seventh centuries, though Woodfin said this has a visible, if unexplained, history. First, the circular portrait was sewn into the elaborately detailed cloth square after the original center somehow went missing over the centuries. Faces of figures in the original square were scratched or cut out long ago.

Still another strip of cloth, titled “Purple Band with Bacchic Dancer,” celebrates the common theme of some long-ago grape harvest. Just a few inches long, it has been reproduced as a large painting by Rothschild, complete with worn, torn, frayed fibers corresponding exactly to the original.

But the dancer is depicted as hermaphroditic, with both breasts and male

Egyptian art and history out of whole cloth

Prof. Warren Woodfin shows the tunic of an Egyptian child going back at least 14 centuries at the Godwin-Ternback Museum at Queens College. On the cover: A tapestry weave had a lively history both before and after its rediscovery. PHOTOS BY MICHAEL GANNON genitalia, also not uncommon for the time.

“Even then people had questions a b o u t s exua l i d e nt i t y,” Wo o df in quipped. “Nothing is new.”

The exhibit opened on Sept. 13.

Woodfin said he has been pleased with

the turnout — a successful opening reception was just the start.

“The other day I saw some students in here and asked if they were from an art class,” he said. “I was told they were students who just wanted to see the Q exhibit.”

by Ron Marzlock Chronicle Contributor

Jacob Kurtz was born in Germany in June 1846. U.S. Census records say he and his wife, Gittle, whom he married in 1868, immigrated to America in 1872 and settled in Brooklyn.

A furniture maker, Kurtz quickly opened his own furniture store. His first son, Bernard, was born in 1875, followed by Harry in 1879, Morris in 1880, Samuel in 1882 and Nathan in 1884. All threw themselves into the family business and never finished high school. Their passion for furniture and great sales techniques allowed them to open more stores in Brooklyn.

Jacob died in June 1918 and was buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery in Flushing but business continued. With Queens the fastestgrowing borough in 1930, the Kurtzes erected a colorful, modern, six-story building that would stand out to riders on the elevated subway trains that ran above Jamaica Avenue as their new store. The firm Allmendinger and Schlendorf was chosen as the architect.

Jacob’s grandson, Jerome, was chosen to manage the Jamaica store, which was com-

The J. Kurtz Art Deco Department Store, 162-24 Jamaica Ave., viewed from the top of the elevated subway line in 1932, shortly after the building’s construction. pleted in 1931.

In 1978, the Kurtzes decided pull out of the furniture business and rent out the building. In 1981 the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission recognized its beauty and importance and granted protected landmark status.

Jerome Kurtz died in October 1986 in Florida. Today the building is home to the Q The Children’s Place, an apparel store.

performances had bigger and bigger audiences, Garcia said.

“Everyone seems to be so moved by it,” he said.

Bolaños, originally from El Salvador and now residing in Queens, is delighted that the play is being given continued life at the Secret.

“It was surprising,” he said. “We felt like we had accomplished something good.”

He would like to see further mountings in the future, perhaps at a theater in Manhattan, or a production that could tour area schools. “Art is an educational tool,” he said.

As for this particular play, Bolaños said, “I Q think it’s for everybody.”

continued from page 37 said of the play.

Born to parents of Mexican and Honduran roots, he was raised in Southern California. “I didn’t grow up knowing Spanish,” he said. Now 38, he moved to New York about 15 years ago.

According to Garcia, the cast and creative team collectively represent no fewer than 10 different countries.

The six actors — Germainne Lebron, Kat Pena, Richard E. Calvache, Laura Aguinaga, Stephen Santana and Federico Mallet — collectively play some 20 different characters. With one exception, the cast is the same as that which appeared in the festival.

Original music, which Garcia said plays a large role in the performance, is by Luis D’Elias.

Garcia hopes the play will strike a chord in everyone. “Latinos need reminders of pride and what we can do. Non-Latinos need to see things from that perspective,” he said.

He noticed the play’s effects on audiences from its initial performance at the festival in August. Opening night, with about 25 people in the house, “We went up and had no idea what to expect,” he recalled. It went over so well that he invited everyone he knew to subsequent performances. With positive word of mouth, the subsequent

To paraphrase Mets broadcaster and Cardozo and Queens College alum Howie Rose, the Mets’ 2018 season is in the books and not a moment too soon.

The end of the season is obviously the time when ballclubs think about the areas in which they need to improve. However before the Mets can start to make strategic moves they need to hire a new general manager.

Sandy Alderson, who had the job since 2011, had to step aside for health issues during the 2018 campaign. He was replaced on an interim basis by the triumvirate of John Ricco, JP Ricciardi and Omar Minaya.

Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon held a press conference before Sunday’s season finale. He stated that none of the team’s interim general managerial team is a candidate to be the next general manager. He said that the new man will have the freedom to bring in a new manager although it still seems like a safe bet that Mickey Callaway will return in 2019. The most surprising remark that Wilpon made was that he’d be willing to go after an A-list free agent slugger even if that means increasing the payroll next year.

Wilpon admitted that he apologized to Jacob deGrom for the fact that he won only ten games because of the Mets’ feeble offense. “He should

have won 20,” Wilpon said with a scowl.

There will be no shortage of candidates for the Mets’ general managerial position but Jeff would be wise to interview the team’s current first base coach, Ruben Amaro Jr., who held that position for the Phillies from 2008 to 2015.

He has proven that he can handle the pressures of working in a big market with a tough media.

He is also a good evaluator of talent. Aaron Nola, who is one of Jacob deGrom’s competitors for the Cy Young Award, was selected by the Phillies under Amaro’s aegis.

Whoever the next Mets GM is had better have a good health crystal ball. Two longtime Mets, centerfielder Juan Lagares and catcher Travis d’Arnaud, play well enough when they are in the lineup but the problem is that every season they tend to wind up on the disabled list for very long stretches. Do the Mets bring them back in 2019 or do they cut ties with them?

My guess is that barring a trade, Lagares will be on the team when spring training begins because the team’s most expensive player, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, will miss most of 2019 recovering from surgery on his feet.

It would be wise for the Mets to have centerfielder Austin Jackson back too. He’s a veteran who played well and provided clubhouse leadership after signing as a free agent in August. Q See the extended version of Sports Beat every week at qchron.com.
