Multiple Fires Over New Year’s Week
By Jackie StrawBridge
Staff Writer
Queens enters the New Year pockmarked from multiple tragic fires,
which altogether left at least four dead.
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

was caused by food left unattended on

2014: Lowest Crime Rate in City’s History
By LuiS gronda
Staff Writer
The year 2014 was the safest New
York City has seen in its history.
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.”

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.

Flushing Commons Moves To Reduce Traffic
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
Motorists should now have an
easier time navigating the blocks surrounding Flushing Commons.
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.”

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.

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

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

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

City employees. I gladly volunteer my time and effort to
review BSA applications and
other topics, and rarely miss

our communities are changing,
and so should the makeup of

each direction right now.
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.

Comm. 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.

Police Support Rally Set For Next Week
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
A rally supporting the City’s police
force will take place in front of Queens
Borough Hall next week.
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.

Mario
Cuomo
New York
The
Life Of
BY JORDAN GIBBONS
Former Governor Mario
Cuomo died of natural
causes due to heart
failure on Jan. 1 in his
Manhattan home at the
age of 82, hours after
his son Andrew Cuomo
was inaugurated for his
second term as governor.
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

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.

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.

LEISURE
Kupferberg Center Sets Lineup For 2015
BY JOE MARVILLI
Staff Writer
With a new semester comes
new shows at Queens College.
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

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.

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.”

Help For Homeowners In
Foreclosure New York State
Law requires that we send
you this notice about the
foreclosure process. Please
read it carefully. Mortgage
foreclosure is a complex
process. Some people may
approach you about “saving” your home. You should
be extremely careful about
any such promises. The State
encourages you to become
informed about your options
in foreclosure. There are
government agencies, legal
aid entities and other nonprofit organizations that you
may contact for information
about foreclosure while you
are working with your lender
during this process. To locate
an entity near you, you may
call the toll-free helpline
maintained by the New York
State Banking Department at
1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-
5697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us. The State does
not guarantee the advice of
these agencies.

A Queens Congress member
has brought light to the obviously important issue of bringing pandas to New York City.
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.

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. For more, visit
