T I MES QUEENS Published for the Borough of Queens VOLUME 19, NO. 16 T V/Radio Host THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2014 Support Our Troops Wear Blue Every Friday 25 CENTS QBP Melinda Katz Spoke With NYWLE at a Breakfast Meeting in LIC Passover is a holiday rich in Easter is symbolism as Jews worldwide commemorate and celebrate their deliverance from bondage in Egypt centuries ago. Jewish tradition instructs Jews to observe the Passover experience as if they themselves were the ones liberated. As we look to the future, we also must constantly keep in mind the past. a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament. Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. Queens Borough President Melinda Katz spoke with the board of directors of New York Women in Law Enforcement (NYWLE), a group representing female law enforcement officers from across New York State, during a breakfast meeting in Long Island City on Friday, April 11. NYWLE held its mid-year board of directors meeting in Queens on April 10 and 11. The Borough President and the group discussed the challenges police officers face when protecting a diverse community like Queens and talked about the challenges faced by women who are raising young children while also holding important positions in the public sector. The NYPD is represented on NYWLE’s board of directors by Assistant Chief Diana Pizzuti, commander of Patrol Borough Queens North (to the right of Borough President Katz) and Chief Joanne Jaffe (fourth from l.), commander of the NYPD’s Community Affairs Bureau. Crowley Celebrates 50th Anniversary of the New York World’s Fair with House Resolution Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, the Bronx), Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, announced the introduction of H. Res. 552, a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1964 New York World’s Fair and recognizing its lasting legacy in not only technology, industry and entertainment, but in the hearts and minds of Americans. “The 1964 World’s Fair is a source of pride for the people of Queens and throughout the City of New York,” said Rep. Crowley. “That’s why I am introducing a resolution that honors the legacy of a key moment in our country’s history. With its themes of peace and progress, the fair reflected our nation’s diversity, showcased the very best in American ingenuity and lifted up our country during a tumultuous time.” The fair opened on April 22, 1964 in Flushing Meadows Corona Park and was attended by more than 51 million people. Leaving behind key landmarks such as the Unisphere and New York State (Continued on page 5) Disney Parks Around the World Celebrate 50th Anniversary of ‘it’s a small world’ with Global Sing-along Disney Parks celebrates the 50th Anniversary of “it’s a small world” with a performance of the famous theme song by The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem Alumni Ensemble at Flushing Meadows Corona Park (Corona Heights, Queens, New York) as tribute to the original attraction’s debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. To commemorate the milestone anniversary, guests and cast members at Disney Parks around the world have united for a global singalong of the iconic tune, with fans worldwide who are able to join in at SmallWorld50.com.

One of the most beloved attractions in the history of Disney Parks, “it’s a small world” is featured at all five Disney Resorts around the world. The original attraction premiered at the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Corona Heights, Queens New York, created by Walt Disney himself and WED Enterprises, which eventually became Walt Disney Imagineering (the creative masters behind Disney theme parks and attractions). The attraction features a gentle boat ride through a Lilliputian land populated by colorfully dressed Audio-Animatronics dolls. They represent children from many regions of the world, all singing a song about universal harmony. A team of WED artistic geniuses, including Disney Legends designer Mary Blair and costumer Alice Davis, created the attraction’s now iconic style. In 1963, Walt Disney was asked to create an exhibit for the 1964 World’s Fair to salute UNICEF and children around the world. With Walt’s blessing, Marc Davis, one of the original Disney animators, desig ned the boat ride attraction through the regions and countries of the world. The first version of “it’s a small world” entertained and thrilled more than 10 million visitors in New York from 1964-65. In 1966, after some major enhancements, including an enlargement of approximately 33 percent, the attraction found a permanent home at Disneyland in California. In the attraction, hundreds of dolls “sing” the familiar song, “It’s a Small World,” in five lang uages (English, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swedish). Academy Award®-winning composers Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, who won two Oscars® for their work on Disney’s feature film “Mary Poppins,” were asked by Walt Disney to create a simple, yet catchy piece that could be sung in many different languages while guests traveled by boat through the attraction. The resulting song, “It’s a Small World (After All),” became one of the most well known and happiest of all Disney tunes. Crowley, Meng on Reinstatement of Queens UPS Workers Reps. Joe Crowley (NY-14) and Grace Meng (NY-6) released the statement below in response to the agreement reached by UPS and Teamsters Local 804 to reinstate the workers dismissed by UPS last week: “We are very pleased that UPS and Teamsters Local 804 were able to come to an agreement that allows all 250 workers at its Maspeth facility to keep their jobs. Last week, we relayed our serious concerns in a letter to UPS and advocated for a solution to ensure these workers not lose their jobs. We’re glad they took our concerns into account and heeded that request.” Schumer & NY Vet Leaders Launch Campaign to Have First Welcome Home Parade For Returning Iraq & Afghanistan Troops in New York City Subscribe to the Queens Times Your Local Newspaper-One Edition for All Of Queens Just $28.50 per year... and have the paper delivered to your door by US Mail Please Enter my Subscription For One Year Name ..............................................................................

With last combat troops leaving Afghanistan, ‘Canyon of Heroes’ tradition should continue - time to start campaign is now. Schumer Calls on Dept. of Defense to Work With New York City to Host ‘Canyon of Heroes’ Welcome Home Celebration for Iraq & Afghanistan Vets; These Post 9/11 Conflicts Had Tragic Start in NYC & Newest Heroes Should Be Honored Here. President Has Stated Combat Operations in Afghanistan Will Be Completed By End of 2014 & Iraq War Officially Ended in 2011, Yet No Traditional NYC Welcome Home Parade Has Been Planned – Schumer Kicks off Campaign For Parade Down Broadway Schumer: The Time Is Now to Stake NY’s Claim & Begin Planning A Hero’s Welcome for our Soldiers in the War on Terror. U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer, along with local veteran leaders, launched his campaign to have the first welcome home parade for America’s post 9/11 troops in New York City. Specifically, he urged the Department of Defense (DoD) to work with the city of New York to begin planning such a critical event for our returning troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout history, the United States has held a parade in New York City for troops returning home from war, but one has yet to be planned for Iraq or Afghanistan veterans. With the combat mission in Afghanistan winding down by the end of 2014, and the Iraq war having officially ended in 2011, Schumer today said that it is the time to begin planning a welcome home parade so that these heroes do not have to wait any longer for this honor. DoD’s approval and involvement in this first-ever welcome home parade for post-9/11 soldiers and vets in New York City could mean involvement of prominent mili- tary officials, joint military color guards, military bands, flyovers and more. Schumer today launched a campaign to have the official post-9/11 welcome home parade in New York City. Schumer called on the DoD to work with the city of New York in planning a parade for veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan post-9/11. DoD decides whether organizer requests for parades can have DoD participation. In 2012, the Pentagon said that it was too early for a NYC parade because the Afghanistan mission was not nearing completion. With their involvement, DoD would provide joint military color guards, military bands, troop formations, equipments and flyovers. Schumer explained that in years past we have honored our veterans and with the war in Afghanistan winding down, now is the time to start planning a post-9/11 parade. Macy’s and Mayor De Blasio Announce That The 38th Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks® Will Again Light The NYC Skyline Macy’s and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that on Friday, July 4th, a national historic landmark will set a dramatic stage for dazzling pyrotechnics as the 38th Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks® return to the East River. Set to deliver the nation’s largest display of patriotic firepower and ready to dazzle more than 3 million spectators and millions more on television nationwide, Macy’s Fireworks this year will be launched from the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge and from barges positioned on the lower East River. “We’re grateful to Macy’s for lighting our skyline every 4th of July—and I’m thrilled that, after years of working with Macy’s and my colleagues to make this a reality, the fireworks will return to the East River this year!” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Now even more New Yorkers will get to take part in this extraordinary celebration, against the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge, the harbor, and our skyline.” For more information on the 38th annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, please visit www.macys. com/fireworks or call the Macy’s Fireworks Hotline at (212) 4944495. Full 2014 information will be available as of June 2014. THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2014 THE QUEENS TIMES Senator Avella Saves Additional Senior Center From Closure Senator Tony Avella was joined today by members of the North Flushing Senior Center at College Point at a press conference to announce crucial $100,000 funding allocation by Senator Avella that will allow the center to continue to operate. Much like the Greater Whitestone Taxpayer Civic Association and Senior Center, the North Flushing Senior Center at College Point was also in imminent danger of closing its doors by the end of the year due to lack of funding. Senator Avella tirelessly advocated for additional monies to keep the center open and was able to deliver on his promise after joining the Independent Democratic Conference in Febru- ary. The much needed funding was allocating during this year’s Executive Budget negotiations. Senator Avella stated, “This funding allocation has been a top priority for me ever since I was elected three years ago and I am very glad that I was able to finally accomplish this vital goal. We cannot allow our seniors to be left without a center which helps them remain active and vibrant. Some of these senior centers have been in operation for several decades and it was not an option to let them close their doors. Fortunately, they will no longer have to think about that for years to come.” Ms. Betty Farone, Director of the Senior Center, stated that, “the College Point Senior Center is the fun place to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The members get to participate in exercise and dance classes with our wonderful teacher Gail Freeman. They also play different games of cards, bingo, baccarat, rummy, etc. But most of all, they enjoy the companionship of each other. For some, this is the only place where they get together and socialize. It gives them a reason to get dressed and go out to meet friends instead of sitting around in a house and watching TV. These centers are so greatly needed for our seniors who worked so hard to make this country great. We thank Senator Avella from the bottom of our hearts for this funding, which is an immense help.” Rozic Supports Equal Pay Day Resolution Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D,WF-Fresh Meadows) announced that the Assembly passed a resolution declaring April 8 as Equal Pay Day in New York State (K.1034). April 8th marks the day in 2014 when the average woman’s earnings will catch up to what the average man earned in 2013. Assemblywoman Nily Rozic said, “By declaring this day Equal Pay Day, the unfairness of wage disparity starts a conversation about the enormous effects it has on New York women and their families, as well as the economy as a whole. Implementing fair pay policies can be done simply and wouldn’t cause undue costs or hardships in either the private or public sectors.” Earlier this year, for the second year in a row, the Assembly passed the Women’s Equality Act (WEA), with pay equity being one of its 10 points. Unfortunately, the State Senate has failed to take action on the WEA in its entirety. Rozic will continue to work with advocates and community stakeholders to ensure the passage of the WEA in both houses of the legislature.

Following a crash that took the lives of four young Queens residents after their car f lipped into Steinway Creek (also known as Luyster Creek), Senator Michael Gianaris, who himself lives a mere five blocks from the accident site, demanded the DOT take steps to ensure that similar accidents do not occur in the future. He was pleased to see the city take immediate action in this case. “Our community is still griev- ing, but we can hopefully find some solace in the fact that the city is acting quickly to prevent tragedies like this one from happening again,” said Senator Gianaris. “It is incumbent upon us to keep our neighbors safe as they move around our city, and I will keep fighting for safety measures to be implemented before the next accident occurs, not after.” Senator Gianaris Seeks Nominees for Veteran’s Hall of Fame Senator Michael Gianaris invited local residents to nominate veterans from the community whose service on behalf of our nation warrants induction into the New York State Veteran’s Hall of Fame. This online Hall of Fame is designed to pay tribute to New Yorkers whose gallantry in the U.S. Armed Forces is complemented by service to their communities. “Each year one of the greatest privileges I have as a member of the New York State Senate is to honor a member of my community who has not only served our nation but returned home and worked to improve the lives of our neighbors,” said Senator Gianaris. “Though all of us are eternally grateful to our nation’s veterans, the Veteran’s Hall of Fame allows us to say a special thank you, and I urge anyone with a veteran in mind to come forward with a nomination.” The Senate will honor a distinguished veteran from western Queens, as well as others from throughout the state at a May 20th ceremony at the State Capitol, where each honoree’s photograph and biography will become part of a special exhibit proclaiming the contributions of these exemplary New Yorkers. Last year Senator Gianaris had the pleasure of inducting Astoria resident Bob Danke into the Veteran’s Hall of Fame in recognition of his distinguished service in the U.S. Navy. Senator Gianaris looks forward to honoring another veteran from western Queens this May. Nominations must be received by Monday April 21st and should be submitted to Senator Gianaris’ District Office via email at Gianaris@nysenate.gov or by mail to 31-19 Newtown Avenue Suite 402, Astoria, NY, 11102. For more information please call (718) 728-0960. Rozic Calls for Volunteers to Beautify P.S. 24 A sse mbly wom a n Ni ly Rozic (D,WF-Fresh Meadows) announced that she is mobilizing local volunteers to spruce up the school playground at P.S. 24. “A new mural would provide students and the entire P.S. 24 community with a recreational space to foster imagination, learning, and fun. That is why I am asking our entire community to join me in a volunteer effort to give P.S. 24 students a beautiful school playground to enjoy.” Last year, Rozic met with Principal Debra Cassidy and toured the school. Amongst the many issues discussed, Rozic committed to working with the administration on a new mural in the school playground. New York Cares, a community organization that recruits volunteers for different community projects, is set to partner with the school. The mural’s theme and design is still being developed. A volunteer day will be announced in the next couple of weeks. Volunteers who are interested should contact Assemblywoman Rozic’s office at 718-820-0241 or rozicn@assembly.state.ny.us. Anthony M.

Fast Service Electronic Filing - “Quick Refunds” This past Sunday was the perfect day to shop at Fairway due to it being Palm Sunday and the day before the first Passover seder. I got there at about 10:30 a.m. and headed for the deli counter, thinking that there would be rows of people. Aside from the regular ready-made products, they had a line of ones that were Kosher for Passover. I had decided not to do all of the cooking. There was the gefilte fish, matzo balls, matzo ball soup, and roasted vegetables. I never know what people like to eat. I bought a piece of poached salmon, and a pre-cooked kosher Cornish hen. There was a KFP aisle that had chopped liver as well as a chicken broth. I wanted to try Fairway’s soup as well as making sure I had enough broth for the matzo balls. Demo’s were going on all over the store. Most of them were not Fairway samples, but from companies introducing their products. Fairway was sampling their chocolate covered coconut macaroons (not kosher for Passover) and picked up a package. They do not make their own almond macaroons but did have a KFP boxed ilk. I personally prefer almond to coconut. The bakery was advertising for Easter. My idea of Easter and food is candy. I had recently received a sampling of Ghirardelli’s Spring line…Easter looking. Fairway carries a variety of Ghirardelli chocolates. I will have to compare them with their own brand as well as Neuhaus. One food holiday is enough in a week. I will wait a bit. Having returned from a trip to the Brandywine Valley area, I wanted to check on some cheeses that I had. Not that they were necessarily “local”. One was called P’tit Basque and the other was a mango, ginger stilton. They had both! Seafood. They weren’t quite ready to demo their marinated shrimp, so I just bought a pound to try it out. Can’t freeze it, though… unless I cook it first. One surprise was their having skate fillets. In case you’ve never had skate, it is a cross between crab meat and scallops. Most places sell it skate wings on the “bone”, which is actually cartilage. Over at the sushi area, a sampling of their tempura shrimp was being indulged in. I tried that as well as getting something called a sushi sandwich. Another sampling nearby of cooked Korean marinated chicken as the butcher counter had the raw marinated thighs for sale. Rack of lamb was another item being featured in their flier. A mint jelly was available nearby. One main course that I’m preparing myself is Fairway’s anti-bio free chicken, with Red Mill’s country mix rice, and Portobello mushrooms. I marinated the chicken in white wine, pieces of mango and ground up a star anise, piece of fresh ginger, Bird of Paradise (a pepper) and thyme. In fact the Afikoman (middle matzo that you hide) was found under this dish, soaking up the sauce. Over to the dairy aisle for eggs (traditional hardboiled egg in salt water) and milk. I see a new product near the yogurt. Quark with pineapples. I’m game for trying one…Didn’t like it at all. Not sure whether it was the quark or if the pineapples clashed with it. Fairway branded whipped cream in a can. They advertised it with boxes of fresh strawberries. I think I’ll use it with a Fairytale Brownie instead. There was a display at the front area regarding another Fairway brand. This was of liquid Castile Soaps (not soups). Varieties included a baby soft, a black soap with shea butter for acne, and a peppermint. Need I say that I bought a box of matzo…egg matzo.

Before school is dismissed for summer, Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Howard Beach) has announced his annual Summer Reading Challenge to help keep student minds active and encourage learning outside of the classroom. Children who participate will be awarded an Excellence in Reading Certificate, hand-delivered by Goldfeder when students return to school in the fall. “As a father of 2 young children who both successfully completed the summer challenge, I understand the value of continuing our education into the summer,” said Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder. “Reading is a great way for students of all ages to enhance their learning throughout the summer and by encouraging kids to keep their minds active, the annual Summer Reading Challenge gives them a jumpstart on the coming school year.” Each year, the Assembly partners with New York State libraries to motivate children to continue reading during the summer after the school year ends. To participate in the program, children must read by themselves or with a partner for a minimum of 15 minutes every day for at least 40 days throughout the months of July and August. Children who successfully complete the challenge will receive a New York State Assembly Excellence in Reading Certificate presented by Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder at the child’s school. This year’s Summer Reading Challenge themes are “Fizz, Boom, Read!” for children and “Spark a Reaction” for tweens. The initiative helps combat the inevitable decrease in learning – known as the “summer slide” – that takes place when young people are not in school during the summer, Goldfeder noted. “Research has shown that literacy skills develop early and are strengthened when children read during the summer months,” concluded Assemblyman Goldfeder. “The challenge is a great way to (Continued on page 10) “Wishing You A Joyous Passover” and Happy Easter Congressman Joseph Crowley 14th Congressional District Paid for by Crowley for Congress Focusing on Foreclose Defense - Credit Card Defense Elder Law - Debt Relief Mention this Ad for a Free Consultation THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2014 THE QUEENS TIMES Fighting For Workers’ Rights On April 4, Council Member Ferreras commemorated the 46th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in a march alongside local airport workers who are fighting for a raise to at least $10 an hour, union representation, and benefits, including recognizing Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a paid holiday. The airport workers began the 10-mile march in front JFK Airport and continued through the major corridors of Queens, ending in front of La Guardia Airport in East Elmhurst - an area that is represented by Council Member Ferreras in the 21st Council District. This month’s march came as a follow-up to a similar protest the workers held in January, in which dozens were arrested for blocking a bridge in an act of civil disobedience. “As the representative of La Guardia Airport, I am proud to stand united with these brave workers,” said Council Member Ferreras. “What these workers are asking for today is what every New Yorker deserves - fair wages, the ability to have their voice heard, and access to a better quality of life for themselves and their families. A collective bargaining process would greatly help these hard-working individuals negotiate for benefits like affordable health care, job protection, and family-sustaining wages. When we support our workers, we support our communities. I urge the airlines and their contractors to come up with a holistic plan to meet these workers’ demands.” Council Member Julissa Ferreras & NYC Dept. of Transportation Host Free Bicyclist Forum Are you a restaurant owner who offers food delivery to customers?

Queens Chef Wins Food Network Competition Queens Chef and owner of TomCookery--New Comfort Cuisine & Catering, took home the championship Sunday night on Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen, a reality cooking television show hosted by celebrity chef Alton Brown. More than 100 supporters cheered Chef Tomica “Tom” Burke to victory at a watch party at Penthouse808, a stunning Long Island City rooftop venue minutes away from the Queens Economic Development Corporation’s Entrepreneur Space, a foodand-business incubator where Chef Tom works. “Cooking has always been my first love,” said Chef Tom. “I took a huge leap of faith when I left the law and opened TomCookery, but I think winning Cutthroat Kitchen is a sign that I’m supposed to be cooking for a living.” Cutthroat Kitchen contestants are given $25,000 to bid and sabotage their way out of a variety of challenges designed to foil their dishes. Chef Tom is a lawyer by training but recently left her corporate law background to open her own catering company, TomCookery--New Comfort Cuisine & Catering. Appearing on the third season of the show, Chef Tom went round-for-round against three experienced chefs, dominating with her interpretations of Cobb salad, enchiladas and layer cake. Her total winnings were $8,600. “On Cutthroat Kitchen, just boiling water can be a challenge. There are so many curveballs that come your way but you constantly have to put out the best dish you can given the circumstances.” The full episode, “Chain of Tools,” will air two more times: April 26 at 4 pm and May 4 at 6 pm on Food Network. In addition, Judge Antonia Lofaso dishes on Chef Tom’s performance (Continued on page 10) ARIS & FRANK 43-05 111th Street • Corona Heights, NY Greek, Spanish and Italian Spoken (718) 592-7470 (718) 699-2499 Finz & Finz Millions Won In Verdicts & Settlements In All Types Of Injury Cases Auto Accidents • Birth Injuries • Construction Site Injuries • Medical Malpractice Scaffold & Ladder Accidents • Defective Machinery • Lead Poisoning • Slip & Fall Fires & Explosions • Injured Children • Product Liability • Wrongful Death Our Aggressive Attorneys Will Fight For You To Maximize Your Recovery Free Consultation • No Fee Unless We Win Clients Treated With Dignity and Respect Free Home & Hospital Visits Quick Settlements - Large Recoveries Hablamos Espanol A Serious Injury Needs A Serious Law Firm - Talk To A Lawyer - It’s Free 1-877-FinzFirm • (1-877-346-9347) • 516-433-3000 • 212-513-1000 www.FinzFirm.com THE QUEENS TIMES THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2014 Queens Sports Prep’s Senior Takes Double Justin Guerre shined t wice on the t rack and posted a double in the 11th annual Knight-Time Invitational track and field meet on a Saturday mor ning and afternoon at Uniondale High School. A senior at St. Francis Prep High School, Guerre certainly had college coaches and recruiters eyeing him during the past season in both football and track. He still hasn’t made up his mind between the University of Pittsbrugh or LaSalle, thus staying close but not that close to home. Guerre just nosed out Shaka Shomari, a junior at Holy Trinity of Long Island, winning the 100 meter dash in a time in 10.83 to 10.95, and he did the same in the longer 200 meter invitational with a clocking of 22.41 to 22.65. The 200 meters was one race or event based on time while the shorter distance race was trials and finals. In scoring the meet, the winner picked up 10 points, as the initial six places score for the team. Guerre’s 20 points enabled the Fresh Meadow based Catholic school to score 137 points and finish in a tie for 11th place in team standings for 28 schools, both public and private from Westchester, New York City and Long Island. This meet marked the first major meet of the 2014 outdoor season which ends in June. “It feels good to win both races,” the 5’8”, 155-pound Guerre said after getting his awards on the Uniondale High School field. Now he wants to make the New York State meet in June and do well in it to climax his high school days. Of course, every time out on the track, in any of the races, he wants to keep getting faster and faster, and set some records for himself. A two sports athlete, he starred on both the indoor and outdoor track squads and proved to be a outstanding and starting running back on the football team in a very competitive Catholic High Schools Football League. And he has an excellent work ethic, as well. He’s a fast runner and tough both on the track and football field, and always wants to keep improving in both sports, in college, if he can. However, for his immediate goal he is hoping to compete in the Penn Relays. During the off season, By Robert Elkin meaning in July and August, Guerre will work hard and hopefully be able to do both sports in college. Turning to inter scholastic tennis, at St. Francis Prep, the Terriers want to get back to winning a championship but they have to face a tough schedule, including Fordham Prep and Iona Prep. They got off on the right direction by defeating Archbishop Molloy High School of nearby Briarwood, 4-1 (three singles matches and two doubles one), in the season opener. Competing in an indoor facility because of the inclement weather prior to the match, Anthony Santino defeated Wesley Chin of Molloy by a 10-1 score at first singles to lead the way for the Terriers. The ChinSantino match was played at the first singles position and the initial match of the season. The match was conducted on the indoor surface of the North Shore Racquet Club in Bayside because of the inclement weather before match time. “My serve got better (than it was last year),” Santino said. “We feel confident about having a good season.” Fantastic Food + Delightful Drinks + Nonstop Networking + Enthusiastic Environment + Borough’s Brightest Brains = Queens Taste 2014 The Queens Economic Development Cor poration, the Queens Tourism Council and lead sponsor Fairway Market are proud to announce that the borough’s premiere food-andnetworking event, Queens Taste 2014, will take place at the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel, 135-20 39th Ave. in Flushing, from 6 pm to 9 pm on Tuesday, April 29. The reasons to attend are as diverse as the borough. Foodies can expect everything from sweet to savory; Mexican to mainstream; and crunchy to creamy. For example, La Fusta in Elmhurst is planning to bring Argentine cuisine, while Jamaica’s O Lavrador will delight with Portuguese paella. Plus, clients of the Ent re preneu r Space, a food-and-business incubator that QEDC operates in Long Island City, will be on hand with their artisan specialties, including gourmet cheesecake balls, soul snacks and designer meatballs. Then there are the drinks. LIC’s SquareWine headlines a spirits group that includes Queens Brewery, Punzoné Vodka and Brook- lyn Brewery. (Yes, some of the drink purveyors are based outside of Queens, but they all have a big presence in the borough.) As part of the fun, clowns from the Big Apple Circus will be doing magic tricks and giving away free red clown noses to all attendees (or at least those who want one). Plus, QEDC and the Queens Historical Society will host a table dedicated to showing memorabilia from the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs, both of which took place in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Finally, there’s the networking. QEDC hopes that at least 1,000 people will attend, and most of them either live in Queens or do business in the borough. So Queens Taste 2014 provides the perfect scene to meet like-minded individuals, talk shop and exchange business cards in a friendly atmosphere. “I look forward to Queens Taste all year,” said QEDC Executive Director Seth Bornstein. “It is so fun on so many levels. The food. The drinks. The people. The venue. The celebration.” Queens Taste 2014 costs $100 per ticket or two for $175. Proceeds support QEDC’s ongoing efforts to attract and maintain jobs in the borough through business services, neighborhood development, the E-Space and marketing attractions through QTC and the Discover Queens brand. As QEDC is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, proceeds are tax deductable as permitted by law. To buy tickets via the internet, go to www.itsinqueens.com/queenstaste.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. 4/17,24,5/1&8/2014 Senator Addabbo Statement on Funeral of now-Detective Dennis Guerra While at the funeral for Police Officer Dennis Guerra, I kept thinking to myself that while it was the dedicated intention of Guerra and his partner, Police Officer Rosa Rodriguez, to go towards a dangerous situation to help save others, it is now our intention to pray for his soul and for his family, as well as the full recovery of Police Officer Rodriguez. Also so fitting that Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bratton announced at the funeral the promotion of Police Officer Guerra to First Grade Detective, the rank his father had in the NYPD. I am proud of and grateful for the efforts of Detective Guerra, Police Officer Rodriguez and all the members of our NYPD.
