Their relocation will make way for a $3 billion residential and commercial development, which includes a controversial mega-mall. However, the deal will not completely empty the area for developers. Following years of conflict, a handful of businesses remain left out of the cooperative and the Hunts Point deal, and, for some, on the street. The Sunrise Cooperative consists of about 45 members with shops inside the footprint of the development’s first phase of construction, according to Cooperative president Marco Neira, although he said that most have since moved to temporary locations, which he attributed to evictions. In February, the Sunrise Cooperative sued the groups behind the project – the City Economic Development Corporation and the Queens Development Group, a joint venture between Sterling Equities and Related Companies – arguing that the City approved the plan unlawfully. Earlier this month, Sunrise settled the lawsuit for $5.8 million to help with rent and build-out at the planned Bronx site, according to the City Economic Development Corporation. The City will pay $4.8 million and Queens Development Group will provide $960,000 of those funds. The heads a rival group called the Willets Point Defense Committee, described years of conflict and animosity regarding the Cooperative’s interaction with the City. Neira said simply, “they don’t believe in us.” The EDC said there are 10 of these businesses remaining in the Phase 1 construction footprint. “We anticipate the majority of the remaining businesses will also vacate by June 1, and we continue to work closely with those businesses to find appropriate space for them to relocate,” an EDC spokesperson said.

Queens Pols Respond To NY State Budget By QueenS triBune Staff Just barely missing its midnight deadline, in the early hours of April Fools day, the State passed its $142 billion final budget for 2015-2016. Pillars of the new budget, the fifth in the row to be on time, include education and ethics reforms. Per the Education Act of 2015, the budget includes funding for new teacher recruitment and evaluation methods, expanded pre-Kindergarten and a $20,000 bonus to top-performing teachers and a plan for failing schools. The ethics reforms require public officials to disclose all outside earned income. The budget also includes $275 million for rental assistance services for New York City’s homeless, support for four new Metro-North stations in the Bronx, $1.3 billion to the New York State Thruway system and a $1 billion capital investment in hospitals, among many other items. “This $142 billion budget is the most meaningful that we have agreed to in many years, not because of what we are spending, but because of how we are spending it,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement released Wednesday. Some Queens elected officials heralded the measures in the budget as well. Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Fresh Meadows) called it “monumental” and the ethics reforms “historic.” “Funding for our state’s education programs has continued to be a top priority in this budget session,” he added. “I am excited to report that the total school aid budget was increased by $1.6 billion to a record-high of $23.5 billion.” Several, however, criticized the budget for what it left out. State Sen. James Sanders (D-South Ozone Park) noted that while the budget does not raise New York’s mini- mum wage, it includes tax breaks on luxury items. “I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to go to my hardworking community of taxpayers - middle class and working class people - and explain to them that we could not raise the minimum wage, but we can give taxpayer money so that the rich can get a larger plane or a larger yacht,” Sanders said. “I tried to find the yacht owners association in my district. I was unable to find that group. So, I looked to see how many jet owners I had in my district, but unfortunately I came up short there also,” he continued. Though he applauded library and veteran funding, State Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) said ethics and elements of education reform measures do not go far enough. “While there are many positive items in our state budget, it can also be spoken of in terms of lost opportunities,” he said. Assemblyman Francisco Moya (DJackson Heights) said he was “deeply disappointed” by the budget’s exclusion of the DREAM Act, which would allow eligible undocumented students to access State financial aid and scholarships for college and called Republican opposition to the bill “short-sighted.” Moya is the lead sponsor of the bill. “We will continue to fight for the DREAM Act in the post-budget session. Now that the Governor has achieved the ethics and educational reforms he was hoping for, we expect him to focus on the DREAM Act,” Moya said. “Our DREAMers can’t wait another year, hoping elected leadership will summon the courage to put people before politics.” Cuomo will spend the remainder of the session pushing for passage of his 2015 Opportunity Agenda, a comprehensive plan for the State economy, education and justice system, among others.

In the complaint, Min’s lawyers requested the court issue a temporary restraining order and injunction against Former Presidents Advisory Committee Chairman Andrew Sokchu Kim and 12 other committee members. “Mr. Min has brought a lawsuit in Supreme Court, improperly using out- Conflicts with the administration of the Korean American Association of Greater New York – a nonprofit organization serving 500,000 Korean-Americans living in the Tri-State area – culminated this week with the impeachment of Board President Sung K. Min. The infighting developed after a new challenger, Ms. Minsun Kim, paid a $100,000 candidacy fee, with the intention of running against Min. Sources close to Kim said the organization’s bylaws were allegedly changed to ban campaigning before an official candidacy announcement. The sources added that the laws were retroactive, thus disqualifying Kim. Also according to the bylaws, 30 dues-paying members must be in attendance in order to hold a quorum to elect new leadership. According to sources, there were only 23 members in attendance at the January meeting when the election was due to occur, so Min continued to be president without a vote. As a result, Kim hired attorney Jerry Goldfeder to fight the case in court. In response, members of the Former Presidents Advisory Committee of KAAGNY announced they would be holding a meeting on Tuesday night to vote on the impeachment of President Min and the current Board Chairman. In an attempt to delay the impeach- side authorities to support his indefensible actions at KAAGNY” Goldfeder said in an email. “Ms. Kim will continue to defend herself, the membership and the integrity of Korean Americans.” The Supreme Court denied Min’s request to dismiss the impeachment hearing and on Tuesday evening, the Former Presidents Advisory Committee voted to impeach the incumbent president Tuesday night. The ousted leader, however, was defiant. “The meeting was illegal,” Min responded. “We have to go to court.” Min’s attorney John Lovi called the decision “sophomoric.” “President Min plans on running the association according to the bylaws, until the court tells me otherwise.” Reach Daniel Offner at (718) 3577400, Ext. 125, doffner@queenstribune. com, or @DanielOffner. Audit: Build It Back Delayed Aid By luis GrOnDa Staff Writer An audit by New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer found that the Build it Back program paid nearly $7 million for work that was flawed and incomplete. The audit, released on Tuesday, details delays in the delivery of aid to homeowners in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy that applied for help with the city program. Stringer’s audit examined the program from June 1, 2013 through Aug. 1, 2014, and also included testimonies from residents during public hearings held by Stringer’s office and a random sample of 70 applicants. The audit found that contractors were paid up front, $6.8 million in total, for work that was not yet finished. STEPINTRODUCING NYCB CD The Comptroller’s office said the workers had little incentive to complete their work because of the upfront payment. Their audit also found that oversight was not in place to ensure that contractors were only paid for work they did. According to Stringer’ office, the City’s Office of Housing Recovery Operations paid $245,000 for 905 deliverables that had already been paid for. HRO also paid $443,247 for consultant hours that should have been submitted on a weekly basis, but were submitted monthly instead. It also found that applicants in the program were often shuffled around to different case managers handling their situation, even though they were promised that only one person would be helping them once they applied to Build it Back. Their report, released April 17, 2014, included a number of changes made including improving the experience of homeowners applying for aid during the pre-construction process and expanding the eligibility of reimbursement so that more homeowners can get aid. After Tuesday evening’s Howard Beach-Lindenwood Civic Association meeting, Joann Ariola, the group’s president, called the early stages of Build it Back “a disaster,” and added that any sort of oversight is always a positive. No representatives from Build it Back were at the meeting, but Ariola announced that representatives from the office will be at the April meeting.

Since then, his mother has dedicated herself to street safety, advocating for street redesigns as part of the group Families For Safe Streets. She visited Community Board 2’s Transportation Committee meeting on Tuesday, where the DOT was presenting a draft proposal to put bike lanes on Queens Boulevard, to advocate for the plan. “I have been asking for a bike lane for more than seven years, ever since my son died,” she said. “It’s not going to bring my son back, I don’t hope that, but I think that it will be a way of my son giving to the community, to the society. It will save other lives.” The DOT’s project area – Queens Boulevard from Roosevelt Avenue to 73rd Street – is the corridor’s most deadly, according to planner Nichole Altmix, who presented the proposal to CB2 on Tuesday alongside Ryan Russo and Acting Borough Commissioner Jeff Lynch. The bike lane and other proposed changes were designed based on feedback collected at a January public workshop. Tribune Photo by Jackie Strawbridge By Jackie StrawBridge Staff Writer CB 2 Transportation Committee Chairman Joe Conley looks over the proposals for Queens Boulevard with fellow board members and DOT officials. Per the draft proposal, protected bike and pedestrian lanes would be added between the service road and main road median. Implementation will be multi-phased, with a preliminary buffering and repainting planned this year, leading to a final capital project incorporating a park-like center median. The DOT also proposed transforming the merge slips between the main and service roads into stopped right turns, with the goal of ensuring safe pedestrian and bike crossings. Aside from making Queens Boulevard more comfortable for bikers and walkers, the agency hopes these new features will reduce “road shopping,” The proposed changes to Queens Boulevard in Woodside and Elmhurst. where drivers maneuver back and forth between the main and service roads depending on traffic. The final capital project envisioned by the DOT would cost $100 million. Russo said on Tuesday that it is too early to specify the exact cost of the intermediary phase of the redesign, but estimated it would run between $1 million and $2 million. Board members and residents at Tuesday’s meeting were receptive to the draft proposal, with some hesitations and suggestions. Transportation Committee Chairman Joe Conley pointed out a handful of spots where he worried the stopped turns would create congestion, and where long crossings and crossing wait-times create impatient pedestrians and therefore dangerous conditions. Conley also indicated skepticism about the project goals as a whole, noting, “our position has been, there’s just some roads where bicycle lanes don’t belong.” CB2 will continue to provide feedback to the DOT and will meet the agency again at its May Transportation meeting; the redesign plan will hit the full board in June. The DOT hopes to begin work on Queens Boulevard this summer. Reach Jackie Strawbridge at (718) 357-7400, Ext. 128, jstrawbridge@ queenstribune.com or @JNStrawbridge.

Subways, buses and streets are congested even beyond normal rush hours. We are intrigued by plans to implement Select Bus Service in two parts of the borough – along Woodhaven and Cross Bay boulevards, and along Main Street between Flushing and Jamaica. If done right, these plans could dramatically improve the speed of bus service along both corridors. This is sorely needed. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The MTA and the city Department of Transportation need to come up with a more encompassing plan for the entire borough. Residents in Eastern and Southeast Queens have limited transportation options. As areas like Long Island City and Flushing - which has one only subway station - continue to grow, the buses, subways and roads that connect those communities are reaching their capacity. Our transit system is built to move people to and from Manhattan, but today many Queens residents travel within the borough for work. We call on our leaders to show us a comprehensive plan to improve transportation and public transit access all across Queens. We also ask Borough President Melinda Katz to make this a priority. We cannot build a 21st Century borough with 20th Century infrastructure. I To The Editor: have just read that our Vietnam Veterans will be honored at an upcoming event. Now that is why I applaud the fact that at this year’s Little Neck- Douglaston Memorial Day parade is to honor the Vietnam Veterans. This parade is reported to be the largest in the country. Vietnam Veterans are being recognized for their service to our country. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the war, where 58,000 had died in a ten year conflict. I myself served during the Vietnam era and remember a number of men I knew from the neighborhood and from school who died in the conflict. There were also others who died after the conflict from Agent Orange. An example was one young man I knew from Queens Village, who contracted cancer, which was related to the effects of Agent Orange and died at the age of 25. It’s been a long time coming to honor these brave men and women. To these brave men and women I salute you for serving our country in a most difficult time in American history. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Glen Oaks Op-ED We Must Do More For Sex Trafficking Victims By COUNCILMAN RORy LANCMAN W e’ve made great progress in recent years in how sex trafficking cases are adjudicated – and sex trafficking victims treated – in the legal system. Although women were once arrested for prostitution and sent back to their pimps without any help, we now acknowledge that these individuals are forced into sex work, often held hostage, beaten and raped by their captors. The Human Trafficking Intervention Courts in New York, starting with Queens County in 2004, have led the way by treating those arrested for prostitution as survivors of trafficking, not criminals. Instead of sending the victims to jail, women are connected with service providers for counseling and other resources to help them leave the criminal sex trade. Our legal framework for handling sex trafficking cases continues to evolve, and is being pushed even further to ensure that women are recognized as victims and traffickers don’t escape justice. Human trafficking legislation, which has passed both houses of the New York legislature, would increase criminal penalties for trafficking and require law enforcement officials to receive anti-human trafficking training. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown created a pro-bono program for immigrant trafficking victims that connects survivors with lawyers who work to vacate their criminal convictions. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is pushing legislation to make it easier to convict child sex traffickers by making it clear that no child can choose to enter sex work of their own volition. Congress created the T-Visa to ensure that trafficking victims who cannot return to their home countries are able to stay in the US legally. But we’re missing something. While we reconfigure the legal paradigm to recognize the inherent humanity of trafficked women, we have failed to provide them with the services their humanity requires In c re d i b l e n on - prof it organizations, such as Restore, Sanctuary for Families, GEMSand the New York Asian Women’s Center, provide crucial services to victims, including culturally and linguistically matched long-term trauma counseling to help victims return to a normal life after years of horrific abuse; legal assistance to guide them through immigration proceedings; educational and employment counseling, so they can return to school or get a job; and peerled trainings to prevent girls from entering the sex trade. But these organizations are chronically underfunded and struggle to meet the demand for their services. One organization that Queens courts refer victims to for counseling and support services has even stopped accepting new referrals for thirty days because it simply Michael Nussbaum Publisher Queens County’s Weekly Newspaper Group Domenick Rafter, Editor-in-Chief Founded in 1970 by Gary Ackerman Published Weekly Copyright © 2015 Tribco, LLC Shiek Mohamed, Production Manager Queens Tribune (718) 357-7400 E-mail Address: [email protected] 150-50 14th Road Whitestone, NY 11357 www.queenstribune.com Marcia Moxam Comrie Contributing Editor Ria MacPherson Comptroller cannot meet the demand. These services also work to provide victims with adequate housing. As unbelievable as it sounds, victims often have no choice but to return to living with their trafficker because they don’t have anywhere else to go. While we provide shelter for victims of other gender-based crimes, there are scarce resources for trafficking victims in New York. Although organizations in this field have attempted to provide housing on an ad hoc basis, they aren’t currently able to provide the level of support these victims need. It’s great that we’re reforming our legal system to protect sex trafficking victims rather than prosecuting them, and focusing our attention on the real criminals -- the traffickers themselves. But we must increase funding for organizations that support trafficking victims so we can help victims leave the commercial sex trade, and possibly even be able to place victims in housing and away from their traffickers.

Thousands of these women travel through JFK Airport, thinking they have come for a new job and a brighter future, only to find themselves enslaved and forced to have sex with twenty men each day. They are isolated by language and cultural barriers that make it difficult for them to access help. Thousands more come from within the United States, fleeing abusive circumstances at home or chasing the dream of living in New York City -- until they get caught in a cycle of virtual enslavement. As our legal framework has changed to recognize that these women are victims, not criminals, we have an opportunity to help trafficked women. We must ensure that the organizations working every day to restore these women’s lives have the resources they need to help every victim, every time.

Two days after the announcement of the SBS plan, the DOT held a meeting with community leaders and stakeholders at Borough Hall to discuss the plan and hear feedback. The meeting, which was held on the morning of March 26, was not open to the public and press. When a Queens Tribune reporter tried to sit in on the meeting for this story, he was promptly asked to leave the room. Eric Beaton, the DOT’s Director of Transit Development, said there were no reporters allowed at the meeting so that the community leaders can speak freely to the agency about the plan without the possibility of being written about in an article. Representatives from four community boards - 5, 6, 9 and 10 - were all present at last week’s meeting. The DOT added that the presentation showed to community members would be available online and there will be public workshops starting on April 16, at PS 306 in Woodhaven and three other meet- ings in Forest Hills, Howard Beach and Rockaway. Residents who attended the meeting said it consisted of a mixture of DOT staff presenting the plan along with some feedback from the board members as well. Kenichi Wilson, head of CB9’s transportation committee, who attended the meeting, said that there are both good and bad aspects about the bus plan, and those concerns would be mentioned to the DOT to see if there is a solution. The positive, according to Wilson, is that it does not take away much parking along Woodhaven Boulevard, and it should stop the issue of bus bunching, which occurs when multiple buses end up stopping at one bus stop, causing traffic behind then to slow down or come to a full stop. He said buses would be mostly confined to one lane, streamlining the pace at which they drive and make stops. One possible drawback according to Wilson – some businesses may lose load docks in front of their stores after the streets reconstruction is complete. He said businesses along the route could lose business if they do not have an area to load supplies. “If you build an island in the middle of the boulevard, how are the store owners going to have delivery to them?” he asked. Gary Giordano, district manager of Community Board 5, said one of his immediate concerns with the plan is the safety of the pedestrians crossing the street. “Would they be running across heavy traffic to catch the bus before it leaves?” he asked. According to the presentation posted online, this plan would reduce both bus and car travel on Woodhaven Boulevard by about 20 to 28 percent. Giordano said that would be a significant reduction if that is true. There is also a potential issue of making left turns on Woodhaven Boulevard after the plan is finished. One of the renderings released by the DOT last week shows how Woodhaven Boulevard and Metropolitan Avenue would look with the SBS lanes. There is no indication of a left turn lane in the graphic. Both Giordano and Wilson said the possibility of losing left turns was brought up during the meeting but that issue would be discussed during the workshops. Giordano said many drivers make that turn on Metropolitan and it is needed if they want to get on that thoroughfare. He added that adding a left on Cooper Avenue could be an alternative. “It’s nearby but it’s a very acute angle,” he said. Frank Gulluscio, District Manager of Community Board 6, said they de- Photo Courtesy of the DePartment of transPortation The proposed SBS route from Woodside to Rockaway. cline to comment on the plan right now but they hope to have DOT at their May or June meeting to discuss the bus plan with the Forest Hills/ Rego Park area.

Page 12 Tribune April 2-8, 2015 • www.queenstribune.com Billboards Aim To Reaffirm US-Korea Ties By Domenick RafteR Editor-in-Chief In the wake of an attack on the American ambassador to South Korea last month in Seoul, one Queens businessman is trying to prevent relations between the two countries from going sour over the incident. “Koreans love America and we want Americans to know that,” Han Taikyuk, who also goes by his Americanized name, Ted Han, said. “ninety-nine percent of Koreans condemn his act of violence. We are friends and allies.” On March 5, Mark Lippert, the United States Ambassador to South Korea, was attacked by a knife-wielding ex-con in Downtown Seoul. The man cut the ambassador’s face and left arm. His wounds required 80 stitches and Lippert will need extensive therapy to regain use of his left fingers. The attacker, identified as Kim Kijong, told officers during his arrest that he attacked Lippert because he opposed U.S.-South Korean military exercises and said South Korea and North Korea should be reunified. Kijong, who considers himself a Korean nationalist, served a three-month prison term for attacking Japan’s ambassador in 2010. In response to the attack, Han, who operates Bridge Enterprises, an advertising firm based in Flushing that, among other things, operate advertising space in bus shelters, took out ads across the city, including one on a bus shelter at Northern Boulevard and 149th Street. The ad on Northern Boulevard, which is captioned in both Korean and English “we stand together as brothers and sisters,” features a photo of Lippert meeting with South Korean President Park Geun-hye just a few days after the attack. South Korea and the United States have a long standing alliance going back to World War II, when the fall of the Japanese empire liberated Korea from decades of brutal Japanese occupation. Since the Korean War, in which the U.S. led a coalition against communist North Korea and its allies, the two countries have had a close economic and military alliance. More than 30,000 American troops remain in South Korea. Han’s billboard on Northern Boulevard. RFP For Citywide Ferry Service By Luis GRonDa Staff Writer A Request for Proposals has been released for citywide ferry service, the New York City Economic Development Corporation announced this week. Mayor Bill de Blasio first announced the plan to expand ferry service during his State of the City address in February. The administration announced that it has committed about $55 million to create routes that would connect all five boroughs including Astoria and the Rockaways. According to a press release announcing the RFP, NYCEDC is looking for “ferry operators, transit service providers or other qualified firms to operate a Citywide Ferry System.” The first three routes of the ferry service are set to launch in 2017, including to Astoria and the Rockaways, with two more potentially launching in 2018. The Citywide ferry service is scheduled to cost $2.75 a ride, the same cost for riding a subway and bus in the City. Some local elected officials, while welcoming towards this plan that starts in two years, are hoping to restore some kind of ferry service for the rest of 2015 and 2016. De Blasio took some heat earlier this year for shutting down a route to the Rockaways that was instituted after Superstorm Sandy, saying it was too expensive to run and ridership was too low. State Sen. Joe Addabbo (D-Howard Beach) has proposed to turn an unused U.S. Coast Guard dock in Fort Tilden to serve as a dock for a restored ferry service to run to the Rockaway Peninsula. “While we wait for the permanent ferry service to set sail in 2017, utilizing this Fort Tilden dock could be a smart, practical, temporary route to take,” Addabbo said in a statement. “It already exists, and requires no study. A ferry operator could start pulling boats up tomorrow. There is parking for Rockaway residents wanting to travel off the Peninsula and Gateway Beach nearby for beach visitors.” Reach Luis Gronda at (718) 3577400, Ext. 127, [email protected], or @luisgronda. www.queenstribune.com • April 2-8, 2015 Tribune Page 13 LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE LEGAL NOTICE S U P P L E M E N TA L S U M MONS Index No.: 706467/2014 Date of Filing: February 26, 2015 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF QUEENS JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Plaintiff, -against- LUIS SANCHEZ, if living, or if either or all be dead, their wives, husbands, heirs-at-law, next of kin, distributees, executors, administrators, assignees, lienors and generally all persons having or claiming under, by or through said LUIS SANCHEZ, by purchase, inheritance, lien or otherwise, of any right, title or interest in and to the premises described in the complaint herein, and the respective husbands, wives, widow or widowers of them, if any, all of whose names are unknown to plaintiff; NEW YORK CITY PARKING VIOL ATIONS BUREAU; NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT ADJUDICATION BUREAU; APERITIVO LLC; CITIBANK (SOUTH DAKOTA) NA; CRIMINAL COURT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK ; ERIN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC; FORD MOTOR CREDIT COMPANY LLC; KAMCO SUPPLY CORP.; M&L RECOVERIES, INC.; MIDLAND FUNDING LLC DBA IN NEW YORK AS MIDLAND FUNDING OF DELAWARE LLC; NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE; PETRO INC.; UNIFUND CCR PARTNERS ; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA- INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE; NEW YORK CITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL BOARD; “JOHN DOES” and “JANE DOES”, said names being fictitious, parties intended being possible tenants or occupants of premises, and corporations, other entities or persons who claim, or may claim, a lien against the premises, Defendants.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. ________________________ ACCURA RESTORATION & WATERPROOFING LLC, a domestic LLC, filed with the SSNY on 3/17/14.

T STARTING ROTATION The starting rotation is shaping up to be the strong suit for the Mets this year with some young arms waiting for a promotion out in Las Vegas. The ageless Bartolo Colon will start the season on Monday following up on his solid 15-13 record last year. He will be followed by the reigning National League Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom. Matt Harvey, who took Major League Baseball and the City by storm in 2013 before tearing his ulnar collateral ligament, will take the third spot in the rotation. Early indications from Port St. Lucie, Fla. are leaning towards Harvey returning to his 2013 form. The lone lefty, Jon Niese, will be the fourth starter. The fifth spot is under some contention after Zach Wheeler’s season ended before it even started. Dillon Gee has a leg up on the role, considering his experience and tenure as a Met, but Rafael Montero is pushing Manager Terry Collins to make a tough decision, as he has been cruising through teams in the Grapefruit League with a 2.40 ERA. Gee is expected to hold on to the spot, however, posting a comparable 2.49 Photos by Bruce Adler Visitors to the Mets-Willets Point stop on the 7 train will soon be smelling popcorn, hearing the crack of the bat and everyone’s favorite hotdog vendor barking in between the Cowbell man’s persistent percussions. The New York Metropolitans are making their way north to begin what should be a promising and exciting season for the Amazins. Opening Day for the Metsies is on April 6 against the reigning National League East champion Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. The home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies will be on April 13. There are a few new faces in the dugout and a sorely missed star will step up to the mound during the opening series as the Dark Knight, Matt Harvey, returns from Tommy John surgery. Team captain David Wright looks to bounce back from a slow 2014. “The Dark Knight” Matt Harvey, top, and Jacob deGrom will serve as the exciting young arms in the Mets’ starting rotation. ERA as of press time. Whoever does not make the starting five will enter the role of long man in the bullpen. The two young phenoms could see some big league time later in the year, especially if any trades are made mid-season. Righty Noah Syndergaard and lefty Steven Matz impressed early and are sure to find a way to fit into the rotation at some point in the season. BULLPEN The Mets bullpen took a hit early in Spring Training, when lefty specialist Josh Edgin went down for the year, requiring his own Tommy John surgery. He has since been replaced through the trade market as General Manager Sandy Alderson pulled the trigger on two deals to acquire lefty relievers Jerry Blevins and Alex Torres. Additional question marks popped up in Port St. Lucie, with inconsistent performances from last year’s closer, Jenrry Mejía and setup man, Jeurys Familia. Their solid play last year should keep them as mainstays for the season, since their pitching turned the bullpen into the strength of the 2014 Mets. Flamethrowing Vic Black, who was also a strength in the pen last year, looks to be starting the season on the DL after his offseason shoulder surgery. Bobby Parnell is also expected to miss the start of the season, as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Carlos Torres is sure to be on the squad, serving as a long reliever. The last spot will either go to Buddy Carlyle or lefty Kevin Gilmartin, with Gilmartin having the better chance since he was a Rule 5 pick over the winter and would return to the Minnesota Twins if he does not make the Opening Day roster. LINEUP Gold Glove center fielder Juan Lagares will be in the leadoff spot on Opening Day and is sure to dazzle fans for another season patrolling Citi Field’s cavernous outfield. He also showed a ton of potential with his bat last year and started to become a threat on the basepaths late in the season as he got more comfortable. Right fielder Curtis Granderson should start in the two-hole for his second year in orange and blue, but this season he has his old hitting coach Kevin Long alongside him and a closer fence in right-center field. Grandy could spend a decent amount of time in the sixth spot in the lineup once second baseman Daniel Murphy returns from his hamstring injury a couple weeks into the season. MLB’s lone captain, third baseman David Wright, will be in his usual third spot with high hopes on bouncing back from his worst season as a pro, where he suffered from a shoulder injury. The refreshed Wright will be followed by last year’s unsung hero in the lineup, first baseman Lucas Duda, who led the Metsies with 30 home runs and 91 RBIs. Wright’s good friend and the major offseason acquisition, left fielder Michael Cuddyer, will be in the five-hole looking to come back from an injury-riddled 2014. Cuddyer’s Spring Training power should hopefully signify a return to his NL Batting Champion form in 2013. Mets fans, and the organization as well, look to find out if Wilmer Flores can be a starting shortstop and everyday hitter this year. Flores will be followed by catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who tore the cover off the ball in the second half of 2014, showing proof of the hype placed on him early in his career. The lineup will be capped off with Daniel Muno, who was impressive at the plate all spring, at second base. Muno will most likely be sent down to Triple A when Murphy returns from the DL. BENCH Catcher Anthony Recker will return to the bench for the third straight season to provide some pop off the pine and solid defense. Ruben Tejada will be the backup utility infielder. Eric Campbell will reprise his role as an overall utility man for the outfield and infield while also being the emergency third-string catcher. Kirk Nieuwenhuis and newcomer John Mayberry Jr. will be the fourth and fifth outfielders for lefty and righty replacements respectively. Juan Lagares returns to Citi Field with a new Gold Glove as the leadoff man for the Mets. www.queenstribune.com • April 2-8, 2015 Tribune Page 17 Urinary Incontinence: It Doesn’t Have to Rule Your Life Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common condition, but many people have trouble discussing it with their doctor because of embarrassment, a lack of knowledge about treatment options and the misconception that it is a “normal” part of aging. Farzeen Firoozi, MD, a urologist specializing in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition. Bladder or urinary incontinence (UI), also known as a loss of bladder control, can have symptoms ranging from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. There are several types of UI, including: • Urge incontinence — The inability to hold urine long enough to reach a restroom. It is often found in people who have conditions such as diabetes, stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, but may be an indication of other diseases or conditions that would also warrant medical attention. • Stress incontinence — Leakage of urine during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting heavy objects or other body movements that put pressure on the bladder. This is the most common type of incontinence in younger women. • Functional incontinence — Leakage due to a difficulty reaching a restroom in time because of physical conditions such as arthritis. • Overflow incontinence — Leakage that occurs when the quantity of urine produced exceeds the bladder’s capacity to hold it. What you need to know about UI: • 200 million people are affected by UI worldwide. • 1 in 3 Americans age 30 to 70 have experienced bladder control loss, and may be living with symptoms. • 2 in 3 people with UI do not use any treatments to manage their condition. • According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 51 percent of people aged 65 and older living at home reported bladder and/or bowel incontinence. While one-third of American adults think that UI is a normal part of aging that they have to accept, incontinence can be improved or completely cured with proper evaluation and treatment. The Smith Institute for Urology has resources for men and women who want to discuss these symptoms and treatment options with a physician. Our urologists and urogynecologists are at the national forefront for many non-invasive, state-of-the-art procedures to correct incontinence. If you or a loved one has symptoms of urinary incontinence, call (516) 734-8500 today to make an appointment with one of our urologists.

The Conception Gallery in Long Island City’s Falchi Building held its opening night for the exhibit, called “Woman Up,” last Friday. Curated by Rachel Wilkins-Blum and Mike Wolf, “Woman Up” displayed dozens of paintings, sculptures and multi-media pieces, while opening night featured performances including music from the all-female Afro-Brazilian drum group, BatalaNYC. “When we thought about Women’s History Month, there were so many ways we could take it. We didn’t want to just necessarily put ourselves in a box,” Wilkins-Blum said, adding that curators asked for work about iconic women, meaningful relationships with women or women that have had an impact on artists’ personal lives. “So we really got a whole host of different subjects, which is really interesting,” she added. The pieces span abstract paintings to portraits to sculpture, and themes run the gamut from romantic to political. While most pieces were displayed salon-style across the gallery’s wide walls, two larger works balanced the room: Gino Miles’s tribute to the women codebreakers of WWII – a steel sculpture representing morse code – and to two large pieces inspired by the hundreds of school girls captured by Boko Haram in Nigeria last year, by artist Mary Mihelic. Artist Senia Crespo, who goes by Crespo professionally, said she appreciated the opportunity to participate in such a diverse exhibit. “I was really blown away by the interpretation of the theme by other artists,” she said. For Wilkins-Blum, the exhibit also offered an opportunity to address the particular challenges faced by women in the arts, including lower pay and weaker representation in galleries and museums. Even as a curator, she noted, she receives more submissions of work from men than from women. According to Wilkins-Blum, 53 of the exhibit’s 64 artists were women. “As a female business owner in the arts and as an artist myself, of course Boro Staple In ‘Deli Man’ By daniel Offner Staff Writer If you were to ask Jay Parker, owner of Ben’s Best Kosher Gourmet Delicatessen in Rego Park, why he has devoted the last 31 years to serving customers in the community, he’d say it’s because of his ethical obligation – to provide thousands of New Yorkers with Kosher deli meats for any and every occasion. Parker, along with his deli Ben’s Best, is one of more than 14 of New York City’s most elite delicatessens featured in “Deli Man,” a new documentary film from director Erik Greenberg Anjou, which gets right to the meat of how delis got their start in the United States. “It’s a piece of deli history,” Parker said, after watching the film. “It gets right to the heart and soul of what makes delis, delis.” The film stars Ziggy Gruber, a Culinary Institute of America chef and owner of Kenny and Ziggy’s delicatessen in Houston, Texas, as he travels around to some of New York’s most renowned delis, including Carnegie, Katz’s, the 2nd Avenue Deli and many others. According to Parker, of the 1,500 kosher delis that once operated in New York City, only 21 are left. He said the film not only looks at the so-called “meccas” in the deli game, but some of the challenges facing delis in the 21st Century and sheds some light on why kosher delis have been blinking out of existence. “The film was really well told and worth-telling,” Parker adds. “It is really something that should be seen.” Ben’s Best has been serving customers in the Rego Park area for more than 70 years and is a big supporter of the local community. From their stuffed cabbage to their corned beef sandwiches, Ben’s has been a staple in the industry. Parker said that if his grandchildren ever ask about the history of the delicatessen in New York, all he has to do is refer them to watch “Deli Man” on Netflix. If you would like to learn more on the past, present and future of the deli industry or Ben’s Best Gourmet Delicatessen, “Deli Man” is playing at Kew Gardens Cinemas, 81-05 Lefferts Blvd., and North Shore Towers, 470 Grand Central Parkway in Floral Park, through April 2.

I think that we have to make noise. We have to keep pushing the envelope. We have to keep demanding that our work is treated equally.” For her part, Crespo called the struggles faced by female artists “Herculean,” and said they led directly to her use of a pen-name. “I didn’t even want to put the first name,” she explained. “I wanted to just give myself a chance in submitting art.” The artist added that she believes “Woman Up” had a positive impact on these and other women’s issues. “There were many Photo Courtesy of ConCePtion Gallery pieces that were really imaginative in concept, Singer/Songwriter Sherma Andrews perthat can also take some- formed at the “Woman Up” opening night. one outside of the box,” Reach Jackie Strawbridge at (718) she said. “I think [the audience] is going to come away with different ways of 357-7400, Ext. 128, jstrawbridge@ queenstribune.com or @JNStrawbridge. seeing women.” Heems’ Rhymes Are Queens Inspired By luiS grOnda Staff Writer Himanshu Suri, also known as Heems to those familiar with his music, has made it from the suburbs of Bellerose to a music career that is surging. Suri, who grew up in Bellerose and Glen Oaks, has risen to solo stardom with the release of his first full-length album “Eat Pray Thug” last month. He used to be in the popular hiphop trio Das Racist until they broke up a couple of years ago. Since then, Suri released a mix tape titled “Nehru Jackets” in 2012 and now his first solo album since the group’s break-up. In an interview with the Queens Tribune at his Long Island home, Suri talked about his upbringing in Queens, how that has influenced his music and the solo album as well. His family spent a few years in Flushing before moving to the Glen Oaks/Bellerose area. They still visited Flushing frequently even after the move. “[it] feel like every weekend we went back to Flushing, because our temple was there, my grandmother was there and other relatives were there,” he said. “Flushing was definitely a big part of my Queens upbringing, but more of my earlier memories were as- Himanshu Suri sociated with Glen Oaks.” Suri said that he always felt different because he lived in suburban Queens as opposed to Manhattan. “I always felt like an outsider to the American experience, but because I’m from Queens, I also felt like an outsider to the New York experience,” he explained. “It’s like being in India and looking at America, but also being in Queens and looking at Manhattan. As a writer or an artist, having this perspective as an outsider is important to my work and because I’m from Queens, it’s magnified.” Suri plans to tour the United States this summer and later Europe and Asia.

We think all of that is terrific. It’s always good to provide the public with tips on how to live a healthier lifestyle and raise awareness for a disease that affects so many people every year. We couldn’t help but notice, though, that one of the sponsors of the event was Coca Cola.

The hearing, held on March 20 and featuring former Queens Museum head and now Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl, discussed how the proposed budget would affect the City agency, which oversees nearly three dozen City-owned museums and cultural institutions, as well public arts programs, When the committee’s chairman, Queens’ own Jimmy Van Bramer, brought up the Musicians OF QuEEns popularity of the arts in the City, cheers erupted from the audience. But in the formal chambers of City government, such outbursts are a no-no. Van Bramer, who was empathetic with the excited hearing attendees, kindly reminded them to show decorum, and should they want to express their approval, they could do so quietly - by showing the palms of their hands and wiggling their fingers. We at QConf can’t help but wonder which is more distracting, the "Woot! Woot!" of the crowd in a City Hall committee room, or a bunch of people doing jazzhands instead. The official podcast of the Queens Tribune - the TribCast - is now on iTunes! Download and listen to new episodes every week! It’s amazing the many types of treasures you will find on the streets of Queens. But here’s one thing even we jaded New Yorkers we weren’t expecting. While walking on Center Boulevard in Long Island City last week, we noticed a long white piece of plastic sliding across the sidewalk, It was a toothbrush- one of those vibrating ones that help get the hard-to-reach plaque out of your gums. We know it works, because it was on. Vibrating about the sidewalk like a fish out of water. Did someone frustratingly toss it from a bathroom window in one of the apartment towers after trying to get rid of their gingivitis? Did it come from a driver in a hurry We hope its owner quickly got a new one. Though the tempo may be quick and the audience buzzing, Astoria-based musician Mike Bono always wields his guitar with comfort, precision and originality. Listeners can expect both solid technique and unique melodic choices from this 23-year-old artist. The recent Berklee College of Music graduate has already brought his music to France, Ireland and California as well as jazz clubs throughout Boston and New York City. Although jazz seems to be his calling, Bono fell into the genre almost by accident. “I heard this guitar player on the radio. His name was Pat Martino,” Bono recalled, referring to the renowned guitarist and composer. “It blew my mind. From then on, I started buying some of his records and talking to people, and finding out about more music to check out.” These experiences marked the start of a busy career as a performer and led him to Boston after high school, to study at Berklee. Here he met Matthew Halpin (tenor sax), Naseem Alatrash (cello), Christian Li (piano), Roberto Giaquinto (drums) and Jared Henderson (upright bass), who would join him as members of the Mike Bono Group. “From Where You Are,” the Mike Bono Group’s debut album, was released in the fall of 2013. Each musician displays remarkable technique, and together their voices blend seamlessly, engulfing the listener in a multi-dimensional sound. According to Bono, part of the group’s success is due to their personal connection. “We’re all best of friends, we live together, and a lot of the music that is on that record we’ve been playing for probably three, almost four years now,” he said. “A lot of it, we learned and developed together, which I think is really special.” Bono moved to Astoria in 2013. He said that his new surroundings have had a significant impact on his writing. “I’ve been going out and hearing music all the time, and I get to see some of my heroes play on a regular basis, which is amazing. I think that’s definitely influenced a lot of the newer stuff I’ve been writing,” he explained. When he’s not performing or writing, Bono can be found teaching classes at the Calhoun School in Manhattan, as well as private lessons. He said that he enjoys the task of bringing beginners into music. “Teaching someone to play starting from nothing is actually a lot more challenging,” he said. “How do you teach them things that they should know fundamentally about the guitar in a way that’s not going to bore them and make them not want to play? “I really do love teaching at the high school,” he added. “They’re really open to learning and I have a great relationship with them, so it makes it really fun for me.” The Mike Bono Group is performing regularly, with plans to record later this year, Bono said.

James Li are two of the finest examples of the newest generation of New York City police officers. Both sacrificed their health to protect their fellow New Yorkers. But if they can’t return to work, their disability benefits will be substantially less than those of their more senior colleagues.
