Flames engulfed a LeFrak City apartment on New Year’s Eve, a Corona church on Sunday and a Jamaica home on Monday, according to the FDNY. Just before midnight on New Year’s Eve, more than 100 firefighters responded to a second alarm fire at 9602 57th Ave. in LeFrak City. Three individuals were found unconscious and unresponsive at the apartment; they were removed to area hospitals but did not survive. Police have identified the deceased as Louise Jean-Charles, 59; Nadia Donnay, 37; and Napoleon Michel, 69. Information released by the office of Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (DEast Elmhurst) and confirmed by police indicated that the accidental fire was caused by food left unattended on a stove.

Last year saw the fewest recorded murders in City history, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, who made the announcement outside of 1 Police Plaza on Monday. According to police data, there were 332 murders in NYC last year. This is three murders fewer than 2013, and continues the downward trend of that type of crime in the five Boroughs. Murder, robbery and burglary rates are also the lowest in the past decade, according to the statistics compiled by the NYPD. Robbery was down 13.6 percent in 2014 compared to the previous year, the biggest decrease out of the crime categories compiled in CompStat. Burglary was down four percent from 2013 and grand larceny auto decreased by 3.7 percent in 2014. The overall crime index was down 4.6 percent from last year. Marijuana arrests also dropped 10.5 percent compared to 2013. Police said the specific breakdown of those numbers by borough were not available when asked by a reporter. The announcement was made just as tensions between Mayor de Blasio and the NYPD have spiked due to incidents involving police including the murder of Detectives Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu last month as well as protests following the Eric Garner verdict just a short time before those officers were killed. De Blasio said the reduction in crime shows that its possible to reduce crime in a big city like New York even as crime was already decreasing before he took office. “Now, again, this is not just about numbers. The numbers are so important, but every number indicates a human life or a family, and every number that we show that’s made progress means a family or an individual who didn’t go through the pain of a crime,” he said during the press conference. Commissioner Bratton said that while 2014 was successful in terms of reducing crime in New York City, 2015 will be significant for the police department because of new technology the department will begin to use, including body cameras. “It will be the year of technology, in which we literally will give to every member of this department – technology that would’ve been unheard of even a few years ago,“ Bratton said. Both the mayor and police commissioner have been big proponents of the broken windows theory of policing, which is reducing smaller type of crimes in order to prevent bigger crimes from occurring. When asked if the recent events call into question that type of policing, Bratton said that their view remains unwavered. “Sorry, broken windows is here to stay,” he said. “Stop, Question and Frisk is here to stay. But it will be done in appropriate amounts. So, even the broken windows policing-we are very selective in terms of looking at areas where we can reduce the need for that.” De Blasio said that crime has re- duced dramatically compared to the 80s and 90s in part due to the proactive approach police need to take in enforcing that theory.

Queens Transportation Commish Reassigned By QueenS triBune Staff The Dept. of Transportation’s Queens Borough Commissioner has been replaced. According to a DOT spokesperson, Dalila Hall, who has served as Borough Commissioner since April 2013, has been reassigned. Jeff Lynch, the DOT’s assistant commissioner for intergovernmental affairs and community relations, will serve as acting Borough Commissioner until further notice. On Wednesday, sources told the Tribune that some members of the City Council’s Queens Delegation had met with City DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg to express their disappointment with Hall’s performance. Hall was appointed Queens Borough Commissioner in April 2013, after having served as Deputy Borough Commissioner, beginning in October 2011. Before joining the DOT in 2009, Hall, a Texas native who attended graduate school at the Pratt Institute, was an urban planner and worked on community revitalization projects in the non-profit sector. The DOT spokesperson confirmed that meeting. The spokesperson added that Hall would be reassigned within the agency “to continue serving in a critical role.” When asked about the situation with Hall, one Queens Council member noted that it was important to address issues regarding local transportation. “As always, I am fully committed to working with our City’s agencies and advocating for our local transportation issues,” Councilman Paul Vallone (D-Bayside) said in a statement. “If those issues are not recognized, then a change becomes necessary.” Page 4 Tribune Jan. 8-14, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com Photo by Jackie Strawbridge Councilman Costa Constantinides (back left) joined PS 151 Principal Samantha Maisonet and artist Don Rimx (front) in a mural painting organized by BBBS of NYC. BBBS Pairs Kids & Artist For 151 Mural By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer The hallways at PS 151 became a canvas on Tuesday afternoon. As part of a “day of service” organized by the mentoring organization Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City, artist Don Rimx visited the Woodside school to collaborate with its students on a hallway mural. The event was the first in a series for National Mentoring Month, which will take place throughout the City with the primary goal of recruiting volunteer mentors to work with the hundreds of young people waiting for a match through BBBS of NYC. Joined by PS 151 Principal Dr. Samantha Maisonet, members of BBBS and Councilman Costa Constantinides (D-Astoria), a group of PS 151 students took turns adding color to Rimx’s colorful, curving design. Maisonet said she was glad for the opportunity to partner with BBBS of NYC and Rimx. It offered her students an opportunity to meet a successful artist and accomplish something themselves, she noted. “We’re trying to teach kids that no matter what it is that you enjoy doing, you can do it if you set your mind to it,” Maisonet said. She added that she hopes the event will spark a long term partnership with BBBS of NYC, which the organization’s CEO Hector Batista said was a goal of the day of service. “I want to serve more kids in the Borough. I think it’s a borough that could use our services,” he explained. Batista said that only about 12 percent of the more than 3,500 kids served by BBBS of NYC come from Queens and he hopes to expand that number. PS 151 in particular was an ideal setting for the day of service, Batista noted, because its students represent the demographic of kids the organization serves: kids from immigrant communities or in single-parent homes, for example. For his part, Constantinides said, “we need more organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters in Queens.” “To have that mentorship to help give children another leg up towards their future would be a great partnership,” Constantinides added. Rimx’s mural design itself represented the diverse backgrounds of PS 151’s students and the school’s commitment to globalism. PS 151 is the Global Communication and Foreign Language magnet school. Its focus as stated by Maisonet is on drawing connections between international communities and building a globally-minded community among the students. According to Rimx, bridges and paths comprised a main element of his mural design, “so the people from all the world are connected.” He went on, “you see the elements like bricks, because it’s New York, and then the wood because it’s more Latin America, other countries like that. You see bright colors combined with grays – kind of the weather here but trying to bring in a little bit of summer from other countries.” “I saw kids passing by and they were applauding and some of them were cheering,” Batista said. “I think that it makes them feel good that the school is taking an interest to make the school look nice and special.” National Mentoring Month will culminate in the Seventh Annual Tournament of Champions Pong on Jan. 23, according to BBBS of NYC. The table tennis tournament will take place at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall and will benefit the organization’s mentoring programs.

After repeated complaints and rallies about the traffic worsened by the development on 39th Avenue, 138th Street and Union Street, the Dept. of Transportation has stepped in. The agency is amending its stipulation with the developer, requiring that traffic safety managers or traffic control agents will be on hand for the duration of the construction. Additionally, the DOT will provide a temporary pedestrian walkway on Union Street, in order to create a safe walking area. The main reasons for the congestion are a closed sidewalk on Union Street between 37th and 39th Avenues and a blocked lane of traffic on 39th Avenue between 138th Street and Union Street. Besides increasing traffic jams, the closed lane on 39th Avenue limits room for the Q13, Q16 and Q28 buses to pick up and drop off passengers. According to State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), Queens DOT Borough Commissioner Dalila Hall informed him about the new arrangement with F & T Group, the Rockefeller Group Development Corporation and AECOM Capital in terms of traffic safety. “Every day, our city witnesses the tragedy that results from failure to ensure that our pedestrians can walk safely and that our traffic can move efficiently,” he said. “I am pleased that today, with the added pedestrian walkway and traffic safety managers, we can take a big step towards keeping our community in Downtown Flushing safe.” Community leaders were also pleased to hear about the safety measures. “This is a great triumph,” Ik Hwan Rim, president of the Union Street Merchants Association, said. “I un- derstand that it is an on-going process, but I am very happy that we are finally seeing progress.” Community activist and former Assembly candidate Phil Gim said that the changes walkway will help keep residents, particularly senior citizens and children, safe. “The traffic pattern in the vicinity of the Flushing Commons is horrendous, and something had to be done to address this,” he said. “Sky View has their own traffic agents to direct traffic in the area, so why shouldn’t Flushing Commons do the same?” The development broke ground last summer after several attempts to get it off the ground. Flushing Commons will turn a 5.5-acre parcel of land into a mixture of residential housing, commercial space, retail, community facilities and a 1,600-space public parking garage.

Wastewater Plant Upgrades Complete Dept. of Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd announced the completion of an upgrade to the Jamaica Wastewater Treatment Plant that cost more than $80 million. The upgrade will reduce the amount of nitrogen discharged from the facility into Jamaica Bay by approximately 6,500 pounds per day, which adds up to nearly 2.5 million pounds each year, according to the DEP. “Jamaica Bay is one of the City’s most diverse natural resources and protecting it is a top priority,” Lloyd said. “The newly installed nitrogen reduction technology at the Jamaica Plant is part of our commitment to improving water quality, protecting the Bay as a premier wildlife refuge and continuing critically important work to bring back a healthier Bay for generations to come.” The nitrogen reduction project included the installation of new equipment to convert the organic nitrogen present in wastewater into inert nitrogen gas that can then be released harmlessly into the atmosphere before treated water is released into the surrounding waterways. The DEP has committed more than $187 million to reduce nitrogen discharges from the four wastewater treatment plants located on the Bay by 50 percent over the next 10 years and nearly $20 million to wetland restoration projects within the Bay. State Dept. of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens said that the upgrades are a giant step toward the restoration and protection of Jamaica Bay and its watershed. “Jamaica Bay is an outstanding natural resource that is accessible to millions of New Yorkers and provides numerous environmental benefits,” he said. “We will continue to work closely with DEP and others to build on this project to further protect the water quality of Jamaica Bay, enhance its wetlands and habitats and preserve its critical marshlands.” Page 6 Tribune Jan. 8-14, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com EDIT PAGE In Our OpInIOn Op-ED Remembering A Son Of Queens Seeking Solutions For Traffic Congestion In Eastern Queens By Michael NussBauM Queens Tribune Publisher I have had the privilege of knowing Gov. Mario Cuomo and his family since the early 1970s. As an assistant to Mayor John Lindsay, I was involved in community affairs as it related to the Corona Home Owners struggle to ward off the condemnation of their homes. Lillian Manasseri was a leader who retained Cuomo as their attorney to fight City Hall. I also came to know Mario as he mediated one of the toughest racial battles in Queens at the time, the Forest Hills Public Housing Development in Rego Park. I never understood why they called it Forest Hills. As opponents of the proposal played upon race and class stereotypes, the neighborhood became divided over Mayor Lindsay’s proposal. A lawsuit was brought against the City and Lindsay brought in Mario, a virtually unknown attorney, to mediate the tensions and bring compromise to what was thought to be an unbridgeable divide. While we were on opposite sides during the 1977 Mayoral election, I worked as a senior staff member on the Jimmy Carter Presidential campaign in 1980. Mario was then the Lt. Governor and also served as chairman of Carter’s New York State campaign. Mario organized a great staff and worked the State for the President. It was, I thought, the launching pad for his 1982 run for Governor against Ed Koch. His son, Andrew, now the Governor of New York State himself, was the campaign manager and the team of Tony Burgos, Fabian Paladino and Jerry Weiss were the core. I introduced Mario to a young ad executive who was famous for the AT&T ads that brought tears to your eyes. Harvey Cohen created some of the most moving ads for the campaign that brought out the heart and soul of Mario Cuomo. But above all, Mario, like myself, was a son of Queens. I love this community and understand like the Governor that we are more than just an Outer Borough, we are a reflection of New York in every way possible. I am first generation in my family and never left Queens and through the pages of the Queens Tribune, I will always understand what makes us who we are and always remember where we came from. Mario Cuomo never lost that connection. We should all be proud that we had Mario Cuomo as our leader to keep the flame of liberalism alive, as well as the concept of Tikkun Olam – “repairing the world” - in the forefront of our daily lives. I hope that as we move forward to heal the wounds of recent events in our City, we look at how Mario Cuomo worked all his life to bring us together under one tent. By CounCilman RoRy lanCman and assemBlyman miChael simanowitz E astern Queens traffic can be maddeningly slow. We also have some of the most limited public transit options in all of New York City. But we can’t solve these problems by shifting the burden from one group of Queens residents to another. One proposal would seek to remedy this problem by closing an entire lane of traffic or removing an entire lane of parking for Bus Rapid-Transit (BRT) on some of the borough’s busiest thoroughfares: Main Street, Parsons Boulevard and Kissena Boulevard within and between Flushing and Jamaica. The lane would operate exclusively as a public bus corridor, making the commute for private vehicles even more congested. With so many residents in our districts relying on their own personal cars to get to work, take their kids to school, go to the doctor or to shop, this measure wouldn’t remedy our traffic problems, but worsen them – particularly where some of these roadways currently have only one lane of traffic in In YOur OpInIOn No To Community Board Term Limits To The Editor: Councilmen Daniel Dromm and Ben Kallos have proposed legislation to limit Community Board members to six two-year terms; in other words, 12 years max service. While I agree with them on several other issues, I think this legislation, if passed, would be bad for the communities and the City. Community Boards are made up of volunteers, except for the District Managers and small staffs, who are paid City employees. I gladly volunteer my time and effort to review BSA applications and other topics, and rarely miss a meeting. Councilman Dromm says our communities are changing, and so should the makeup of community boards to bring in new ideas, new cultures, backgrounds and ideas. This is already happening and doesn’t require a law. Board membership changes every year due to retirements, job changes, families moving out of the area, and new appointees coming to the board. The core of each board is the long-serving seasoned members, who are the target of this Michael Nussbaum Publisher Queens County’s Weekly Newspaper Group Founded in 1970 by Gary Ackerman Published Weekly Copyright © 2014 Tribco, LLC Queens Tribune (718) 357-7400 E-mail Address: news@queenstribune.com 150-50 14th Road Whitestone, NY 11357 www.queenstribune.com Steven J.

Will these cars disappear? Will their occupants suddenly ditch their cars in favor of getting on an overcrowded bus? No, these cars will simply be pushed off of our main roads onto more residential streets, like water finding the path of least resistance. These streets are narrower, slower and full of kids from the surrounding homes and apartment buildings. Crowding them with cars is in direct opposition to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Vision Zero initiative, which aims to make our streets and neighborhoods more safe for pedestrian traffic, not less. Closing a lane of traffic or parking could potentially have dire implications for area businesses, as well, who depend on street parking to accommodate their customers. The proposed BRT lanes are on streets primarily lined by storefront businesses and mom-and-pop shops. Eliminating parking could starve these small businesses out of existence. Consider the problems created by some of the ill-placed bike lanes in our borough -- and then double it. Solutions to our long-term congestion issues cannot merely shuffle the deck chairs on the Titanic, moving the problem around from some residents to others but never really making commuting easier for more Queens residents. We need answers that work for everybody, from better timing of traffic lights, smarter placement of turning signals and more express and limited bus service. Shutting down traffic and parking lanes on some of Queens’ busiest streets isn’t that answer. Rory Lancman represents District 24 in the City Council.

Board 11 Honors Andrew Rothman BY JOE MARVILLI Staff Writer It was a sad start to the New Year for Community Board 11, as they remembered the late Andy Rothman. The community board member passed away on Dec. 24 after suffering a heart attack. The board had a moment of silence for Rothman at the start of the meeting on Jan. 5. Later on, chair Christine Haider spoke about his dedication to the community, no matter what topic was up for discussion. “Andy Rothman was a very good friend to the community. He had a passion for his community,” she said. “It didn’t matter whether it was in the north part, the south, the east or the west of his district. He was always concerned about whatever the issue was. He will be missed.” Rothman was also a strong advocate for the library system. The chair of CB11’s library committee, Douglas Montgomery, suggested that the board members pool together money to dedicate a shelf in the Bayside Library to Rothman’s memory, with a plaque in his name. The board also discussed the community board term limits bill introduced into the City Council by Councilmen Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) and Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan). The legislation aims to impose a term limit of two six-year terms. The bill would not affect current board members, only those elected to a first term on April 1, 2016 or going forward. The members decided to vote on a resolution, expressing the board’s opposition to the term limits. Several people expressed the benefits of collective memory and knowledge for why the bill would be damaging to the community boards. “I feel the experience of our longterm board members is invaluable and I’m against the bill,” Haider said. Although a couple of members said that term limits could bring in fresh ideas, Haider countered that it happens naturally from board members moving, retiring or being removed by the Borough President for not fulfilling their duties. The resolution passed with all members in favor, except for two. Officer John Erdman was on hand to talk to CB11 around the year-end 2014 crime stats for the 111th precinct. In the week to date running from Dec. 22 to Dec. 28, all major crimes are down when compared to 2013, with the exception of felony assaults, which had two this year instead of one. In the year to date statistics, major crimes went down by 3.2 percent overall. Erdman expressed hope that these trends would continue into 2015. “We’re hoping for a good year,” he said. The next Community Board 11 meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 at MS 158, located at 46-35 Oceania St. Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @Joe Marvilli.

The majority of this work is scheduled over weekends when ridership is lower and gives our workers continuous, train-free access to the 7 Line. We are aware of the inconvenience these and other disruptions cause, and we appreciate your patience.

Community leaders and residents from Queens will meet at noon on Jan. 13 to deliver a united message of support for the NYPD. The rally and press conference is planned as a nonpartisan, non-political event, with civic associations, veterans, retired officers and more in attendance. Retired NYPD Captain and former City Council candidate Joe Concannon organized the rally, one in a series planned throughout the City that will end outside City Hall at a later date. Concannon also served as the Deputy Director of Public Safety under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. “Public safety is the cornerstone of our civilized society. The police are the thin blue line that separates civilization from chaos,” he said. Concannon added that the police have not received support from City Hall or many of the elected officials throughout the City. He said that the protests in the wake of the Eric Garner decision created a climate that led to the murders of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. “During early December, our elected officials behaved in a totally irresponsible manner… holding diein’s in the City Council Chambers is not what our public officials should be doing,” Concannon said. “Our Mayor’s behavior has been irresponsible to say the least. His dangerous rhetoric has lit a fire under a number of very disruptive groups that hereto- fore have been under control.” Among the guest speakers are Chemung County Sheriff Chris Moss and Deroy Murdock, contributing editor for the National Review Online, according to the rally’s Facebook page. Concannon said that while there are many excellent speakers lined up, the list will not be released, to protect the safety of the speakers. Queens Borough Hall is located at 120-55 Queens Blvd., Kew Gardens. The rally will go from noon to 1 p.m. Reach Joe Marvilli at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, jmarvilli@queenstribune.com, or @Joe Marvilli. Food Delivered To River Fund BY LuIs GROndA Staff Writer Assemblyman David Weprin (DFresh Meadows) delivered more than 350 pounds of food to the River Fund food pantry in Richmond Hill on Monday.

The Holliswood and South Jamaica native served as governor from 1983 to 1994 and was known for his inspirational speeches and being a bastion of progressive values. District Attorney Richard Brown said he would be forever grateful to Cuomo for appointing him twice as a Justice of the Appellate Division and his current position as Queens’ DA. “He was a great friend and advisor who greatly influenced my life and the lives of a generation of young lawyers,” Brown said in a statement. “A son of Queens, he will be missed by all for his wise counsel, heartfelt compassion for the downtrodden, fierce advocacy for justice and inspiring oratory.” Cuomo became known as a defender of the downtrodden early in his career as an attorney in Queens. In the late 1960s, he rep- resented “The Corona Fighting 69”, a group of 69 homeowners who were in danger of being displaced by the City’s plan to build a new high school. The group successfully averted the demolition of all but 22 of the 69 homes. He also represented another Queens residents group, the Kew Gardens-Forest Hills Committee on Urban Scale, who opposed Samuel J. LeFrak’s housing proposal adjacent to Willow Lake. The spotlight shined even brighter on him in 1972 when Mayor John Lindsay appointed him to conduct an inquiry and mediate a dispute over low-income public housing slated for the upper-middle class neighborhood of Forest Hills. Cuomo worked closely with former Assembly Speaker Saul Weprin in Queens, years before they both became prominent political figures in New York. Councilman Mark Weprin said that Cuomo used to blame his father for getting him into politics. “When other families went on vacation, we spent time running Mario Cuomo’s campaign,” Weprin said. “He never forgot his Queens roots. He would use it as a weapon. He never embraced the trappings of being in power. He was a humble man in a very important position.” During a time when liberal views were disparaged, Cuomo strongly opposed the policies of Ronald Reagan, particularly during his keynote speech at the 1984 Democratic National Convention, which Weprin said was one of the most prideful moments of his life since the speech made a Queens native one of the most important political figures in the country. His speech brought him to national attention and was considered a frontrunner to get the Democratic nomination for President in 1988 and 1992. He came close to filing for candidacy in 1991, but since he could not come to agreement with Republicans in the New York State Legislature on the budget, he declined running, because he said that he swore to put New Yorkers first. Borough President Melinda Katz credited Cuomo with devoting his life to public service and offered condolences to his family on behalf of the Borough. “As governor, he used his considerable intelligence and leadership to advance an agenda to help all New Yorkers live better, more prosperous lives,” she said in a statement. “Governor Cuomo was an inspiration to me and to many borough residents who entered public service in the hope of following his example and building on his legacy of achievement.” While New York was experiencing an era filled with crime in the 1980s and early 1990s, Cuomo stood by his opposition to the Borough and City officials remember former Governor Mario Cuomo, who died of heart failure on Jan. 1. death penalty despite the unpopular opinion. He vetoed several bills that would have re-established capital punishment in the State. Cuomo, a Roman Catholic, also strongly believed that the State did not have a right to ban abortion, even though he was personally opposed to it. In a speech at the University of Notre Dame in 1984, he pronounced that there can be different approaches to abortion besides absolute prohibition and unyielding adherence. Cardinal John Joseph O’Connor, former Archbishop of New York, considered excommunicating him after the speech. Considering he knew his father the best, Gov. Andrew Cuomo provided the eulogy at the funeral, which covered his father’s background, his biggest speeches and even his basketball prowess. “At his core, he was a philosopher. He was a poet. He was an advocate. He was a crusader. Mario Cuomo was the keynote speaker for our better angels,” he said. He finished the eulogy by promising to follow in his father’s footsteps. “We know what we have to do and we will do it. We will make this State a better State and we will do it together,” he said. “On that, you have my word as your son.”Reach Reporter Jordan Gibbons at (718)357-7400, Ext. 123, jgibbons@ queenspress.com or @jgibbons2. www.queenstribune.com • Jan. 8-14, 2015 Tribune Page 15 Bedroom The Key To A Restful Night’s Sleep Whether snuggling in for the night or just trying to catch a few quick winks, your environment plays an important role in determining if you’re counting sheep or counting Zzzs. From noise reduction to lighting, there are a few easy ways you can turn your bedroom into a tranquil oasis. “A third of the adult population suffers from insomnia from time to time, but only about six percent meet the criteria for an actual sleep disorder,” said Dr. Christina Brown from the Florida School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University in Tampa. “In a good number of cases, getting to sleep and staying asleep is a matter of your surroundings.” Anne Holic, interior design instructor at The Art Institute of Washington, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, focuses on areas of the bedroom that you may want to reevaluate in order to create the sleep haven you’ve been craving. These include lighting, furniture and decor. Lighting - Humans were created to be in-synch with the sun cycle. For this reason, Holic recommends installing dimmer switches on your lights, which she says can mimic the way the sun works. Holic also recommends using window treatments such as blinds or heavy drapes to eliminate light. Both Brown and Holic warn about electronics that provide artificial light in the bedroom. “Get rid of your phones, TVs and tablets while in bed. The artificial light will interrupt your sleep cycle and keep your brain activated, making it harder to get to sleep and keep you off the more natural sleep patterns,” Brown said. Furniture and décor – Holic emphasizes that paint colors are important. You want to choose colors that are calm, such as blues, greens or a calm violet and avoid colors in the red family. In addition to color, Holic says people are thinking more environmentally and choosing paints with low or no volatile organic compound (VOC). Simplifying the space is critical, according to Holic. She says that along with the TVs and computers, exercise equipment and any other potential disturbances should be removed from the bedroom. Don’t forget to include some inspiring artwork that is meaningful and brings you feelings of calm. Make sure you have a comfortable mattress, and think about adding an area rug to your bedroom. “Area rugs give a cozy feeling to the room,” said Holic. “They work well, because carpets can harbor a lot of dust and mold.” Brown recommends a white noise machine or ceiling fan to drown out the background noise. Holic agrees, adding that white noise, like the hum of a ceiling fan, can reduce the background noise you hear by about 20 percent. If you are interested in following some of the principles of feng shui in your bedroom, Holic suggests keeping the bed away from doors and an- choring the bed with a strong headboard and nightstands on both sides. Both Holic and Brown agree that keeping your home cooler during the night will help you sleep better. Keep your thermostat at the most comfortable cool setting, as changes in your body’s thermal regulation will wake you. “In the short-term, just one sleepdeprived night can interfere with your ability to concentrate, affect your mood and even make you drowsy during the day,” explained Brown. If getting healthier is a goal for you, make getting adequate sleep part of your plan. – BrandPoint Media Page 16 Tribune Jan. 8-14, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com PIX Remembering Ira Cohen On Jan. 10, 2014, Queens lost one of its most unique characters, when beloved Trib photographer Ira Cohen died unexpectedly. Ira was a staple at Borough events, chronicling the daily events throughout Queens for 15 years. More importantly, Ira was a friend to everyone he met. This week, on the one-year anniversary of his death, we remember our dearly departed friend, telling his tale the way he would have wanted: through pictures. As the photographer for the Queens Tribune, Ira managed to photograph many famous folks who came from or visited the Borough. It didn’t matter if they were actors, singers or politicians, Ira was there and usually managed to get his picture taken with them as well. In addition to his work as a photographer, Ira was also a member of the NYPD’s auxiliary police force, as well as retired from the MTA. Ira’s most distinguishing characteristic was no doubt the long dreadlocked hair he sported. While he spent years with the distinctive look, he did cut it off for certain special occasions. Once the hair cut - a major media event - was finished, Ira joked that he made sure to send the lopped locks off to the Smithsonian for safe keeping. Whenever a member of the Queens Tribune staff had a birthday, Ira was there to celebrate with a cake. He would even bring in a cake for his own special day.

The school’s Kupferberg Center for the Arts is set for a packed winter/spring season. With performances at Colden Auditorium and LeFrak Concert Hall, both students and Queens residents will have the chance to enjoy everything Kupferberg has to offer. One of the biggest guests of the year for the Kupferberg Center is Carol Burnett. The legendary comedian will perform off-the-cuff, impromptu banter with the audience for an enjoyable, reflective and funny evening. Come with your questions and be prepared for Burnett to say anything, bringing the same wit that led “The Carol Burnett Show” to its 11-season run. Tickets cost between $39 and $85. The show starts at 8 p.m. on May 8 at Colden Auditorium. Other performances include the Dance Theatre of Harlem, which will take the stage at Colden Auditorium on Jan. 18 at 4 p.m. This troupe is made up of 18 racially-diverse dancers, known worldwide for bringing a contemporary touch to classical and neoclassical ballet repertoire. Tickets are $35. The Atlantic Theatre Company will swing by Colden Auditorium on Feb. 4 for “Ivy + Bean, The Musical,” a children’s performance. Bean and Ivy knew they would never like each other, but when the two become a team, there’s mischief and laughter at every turn, along with lessons to be learned about the challenges and joy of family, friendship and love. Appropriate for ages 7 to 11, the show starts at 10:30 a.m. On Feb. 18, two of South Africa’s musical icons will join forces to honor the 20th anniversary of the start of democracy and the end of Apartheid in the nation. Hugh Masekela and Vusi Mahlasela will pay homage in “20 Years of Freedom,” featuring South Africa’s Freedom Songs. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. at LeFrak Concert Hall. Tickets range from $20 to $55. For those of you who are not fans of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and have no intention of seeing the movie, you should look into this comedic performance on March 5 at Colden Auditorium. “Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody” combines elements of the erotic series with original musical numbers, steamy performances and many hilarious surprises. It will cost between $25 and $45 to attend the show, which starts at 8 p.m. A Culinary Melting Pot The contemporary atmosphere and eclectic cuisine at Bistro Etc. place an emphasis on the etcetera in the title of this intimate, upscale, yet casual dining experience just over the Queens border in Port Washington. The warm, dim lighting provide a comfortable environment that has vintage décor including old photos of John F. Kennedy and Jerry Lee Lewis adorned on the wall. But, the main attraction of any restaurant is the menu and Chef Karen Melanie ensures that diners are treated to a variety of menu choices that pull from cuisines across the globe. Chef Karen refers to her menu as New American, since it blends cooking techniques and flavors from France, Mexico, Argentina, Asia and more. The wine and bar menu follows that trend by offering cocktails, wine and a selection of craft beer to pair with the concise starter and entrée options. This evening, Chef Karen served my dining partner and I vastly different starters that piqued our interest and pleased our taste buds more REStaURant REvIEw Bistro Etc. 43b Main St. Port washington (516) 472-7780 Cuisine: new american Credit Card: Yes Reservation: Yes Hours: tue-Sat 5 p.m.-Close www.bistroetc.com and more as each plate was placed in front of us. The Denver lamb ribs were cured in mint and garlic and perfectly cooked. The tender meat slid off the bone and matched perfectly with the two dipping sauces on the plate: honey lemon black pepper and jalapeno mint. Another great starter was the shrimp tortilla, which featured ancho chile rubbed shrimp with a housemade corn tortilla, avocado crema and fresh tomato salsa. The ancho chile rub was subtle, but gave a nice pinch of spice that blended with brilliantly with the creamy avocado and salsa. The most impressive en- tree we were treated to this evening was the wild striped bass fillet, which was presented artfully on a tower of wilted spinach, roasted grape tomatoes and a crisp risotto cake as the base. The star of the dish was the bass, rightfully so, as Chef Karen merely topped it with some fresh lemon to allow the natural flavor of the fish to accentuate the entrée. Another great choice for the main course is the skirt steak, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and topped with an Argentinean chimicurri sauce that packed a powerful punch that brought the steak to life. On the side was a warm potato salad mixed with bacon, hard-boiled egg and celery that paired brilliantly with the protein. Just when we thought we could not find any more room in our stomachs, a warm apple strudel with dried cranberries and a scoop of vanilla gelato appeared in front of us and our stomachs magically grew to fit in the crispy, flaky warm dessert that was the perfect end to our trip into Port Washington. -Jordan Gibbons On April 19 at 3 p.m., dog lovers can head to Colden Auditorium for a live show by Cesar Millan.

Red Storm Struggle In Big East Play After a blistering 11-1 start in non-conference play, the Red Storm have gone winless in three games against Big East opponents, although they find different ways to get it done. They’ve lost one on the road, one at Carnesecca Arena and one at Madison Square Garden. They’ve lost two games by double-digits and one by four points. D’Angelo Harrison and Sir’Dominic Pointer have fouled out of two games. Ballyhooed guard Rysheed Jordan has more turnovers than assists in the two conference games he played in. After losses to Seton Hall and Butler, the Johnnies took on No. 8 Villanova at MSG. “This is the biggest game of my career right here,” said senior guard Phil Greene IV, the day before the game. “We’re already 0-2, we don’t want to start off 0-3 and dig ourselves into a hole.” Greene would score 14 points to go along with Harrison’s 25, but the Red Storm gave up 56 second-half points to the Wildcats and lost 90-72. “There are no easy games in this conference, so unless you play at a high level for 40 minutes, you are not going to be in position to win,” Steve Lavin said after Tuesday’s loss. “And even when you play well, it doesn’t guarantee a win.” St. John’s led 54-52 in the second half before the wheels fell off. “They just went on a run and that’s just Villanova basketball,” Harrison said. Rysheed Jordan finished the game with two points on 0-for-6 shooting, no assists and three turnovers. He missed the Butler game because of a death in the family, although his absence has also been attributed to disciplinary action. Despite being a non-factor, Jordan played 26 minutes because of the lack of depth on the Red Storm. Lavin, who has been using a sixman rotation, may go to Myles Stewart off the bench, who has impressed the coach. Lavin admitted that he didn’t “want to mess with the recipe or the formula” that led to the 11-1 start, but losing three straight will lead to some changes. There is urgency with a roster laden with upperclassmen and a team that started 0-5 in Big East play last season. “We need to be productive enough in January so that when the schedule comes our way in February – we play five of seven at home- we’re in position for those games to be meaningful,” Lavin said. “You don’t want to be so far in the rearview mirror that when those games come our way, those games aren’t even meaningful.” –David Russell www.queenstribune.com • Jan. 8-14, 2015 Tribune Page 19 Queens today SaTURday 1/10 pearance are Wally Backman and Mookie Wilson.

U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, making an appearance on John Catsimatidis’ radio show, said that Mayor Bill de Blasio does not support her initiative to bring two pandas to the Central Park Zoo or the Bronx Zoo. Maloney said she went over to China last summer to scout the pot-bellied creatures in her pursuit of bringing them to New York. Her argument is that other major zoos around the country are home to pandas but that is not the case for New York. She went on to say that de Blasio does not support her initiative despite support from other officials, including Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “The Mayor was not interested. He doesn’t like horses and I guess he doesn’t like pandas,” she said, taking a shot at de Blasio’s plan to ban horse carriages. De Blasio’s office has reportedly responded by saying there are more pressing issues going on in the City right now than pandas. While the Pandas are low on the priority list for the Mayor, for Maloney, the issue is black and white: There should be pandas in NYC. New Technology, No Problem Who said senior citizens aren’t any good with new technologies? Flushing resident Adele Lerner celebrated her 108th birthday last week, but could not make it to her local synagogue for her birthday blessing. Thankfully, Lerner has kept up with technology while it has progressed from radio, to television and now the Internet. Lerner used her computer to livestream the blessing while she relaxed safely in the confines of her own home. But, this is not the only skill she has picked up in the latter half of her life. She began painting at the age of 60, graduated from college at 83 and in her 90s, she studied to become a Bat Mitvah and learned how to use a computer. She even created her own video blog and uses a web cam to communicate with her family. We here at QConf want to wish her a happy birthday and commend her on her efforts to continue to learn as the world rapidly advances around her. Mazel tov, Adele. Maybe Next Year, Mike Mets fans who hoped that Mike Piazza would be headed to Cooperstown were disappointed this week, as the catcher failed to get the 75 percent of the vote needed for induction. Piazza, who played for the Mets from 1998-2005, was instrumental in getting the Amazin's to the World Series in 2000, came very close this year, managing close to 70 percent of the vote. This year's Hall of Fame class, announced on Tuesday, includes Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez (who played for the Mets from 2005-2008), John Smoltz and Craig Biggio. Steven J.

Follow us on Twitter: @QueensTrib @SEQueensPress Barely Making The Grade? Queens singles, take note: it could be worse. A new mobile app called The Grade has released a map grading each Borough on its date-ability. Queens scored a B- overall, which may sound bleak to all those Borough residents on the hunt for Prince or Princess Charming, but is nevertheless better than the C+, C and F that Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx scored, respectively. “A user’s grade ranges from ‘A+’ to ‘F’ and is determined by an algorithm that analyzes three factors: a user’s profile, responsiveness, and message quality (spelling and grammar mistakes, use of slang/offensive words, etc.),” The Grade wrote in a statement, “Each factor receives an individual grade and is then combined to form a user’s overall grade, stamped on the user’s profile for all to see.” So, Yelp, but for human beings. Within Queens, women in the dating scene scored higher than men (B compared to C-), despite apparently using “inappropriate language or slang” 2.5 percent more often. Manhattan scored an A – but of course, if you’re paying $17 for a cocktail, you better enjoy your date. Since elementary school, Jeneen Terrana knew she wanted to become a singer. “I remember telling my mom when I was in 7th grade that I wanted to be a singer,” she said. “In high school, I started auditioning for things and getting in! I was in the select choir, the musicals, and a few bands. Then, I auditioned for University at Buffalo and got into their music program.” Terrana’s experiences at the University of Buffalo, studying classical voice for five years, would prove invaluable for the musical path that lay ahead. After earning her BA, the musician moved to Queens and started releasing work as a singer/songwriter. Her first album, “Just Me,” came out in 2002. “As the title suggests, I was the only one working on the album so it got a little maddening but it was also a lot of fun,” she said. “I felt like every time I went to record, something amazing and unexpected would happen (usually by accident) and it made for some very unique moments in the songs.” As the only person recording her album, Terrana had to program the drums and bass, play the guitar and keys and do all the vocals from a small room in her apartment. The process took eight months to complete. Terrana followed that release with “My Creation” in 2007 and “See The Light” in 2011. For the latter album, she actually traveled to Lawrence, Kan. and worked on her demos with producer Mike West. “In one week, he trans- formed them (with the help of some great musicians) to what you hear on the album,” Terrana said. “I had to completely trust him and his ideas so it was a little scary, but I was so thrilled at how it turned out. He added beautiful instrumentation and really brought the songs to life.” For her upcoming album, “Fallin’,” Terrana found another collaborative partner in Nick Howard. They spent a few months in his Queens studio, assembling the vocal performances and then built the tracks around them along with some rough sketches. “I wanted something that was still me, but with a fresh, fun approach,” she said. “The songs started as a throwback to the 80’s but evolved into something current yet familiar.” Terrana will hold a prerelease full-band show on Jan. 25 at The Living Room in Brooklyn. Joining her are several other local musicians, such as Brian & Silbin, Freeman Dre & the Kitchen Party, and Xavier Cardriche. You should also keep an eye out for new episodes of JT’s Artist Oven, a cooking show on YouTube hosted by Terrana and featuring local Queens artists.
