SculptureCenter Breaks Out Of Its Mold

(From Left) Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall, City Council Member JimmyVan Bramer, SC Executive Director and Chief Curator Mary Ceruti, SC Board ChairSascha S. Bauer and NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Kate D. Levin.

The SculptureCenter on Tues-day announced a renovation thataims to improve the quality of itsexhibition spaces and visitor flowat its Long Island City facility.

Dubbed the BuildingSculptureCenter Campaign, theundertaking has an expectedcompletion in fall 2014 and in-cludes the following improve-ments: 6,500 square feet of flex-ible interior exhibition space thatwill accommodate work of diverseforms and scale; a 2,000 sq.-ft.,one-story entrance lobby withbookshop, coatroom, seating areaand restrooms; an elevator andstairway to the lower level galler-ies; a 1,500-sq.-ft. enclosed court-

yard for outdoor exhibitions andevents; upgrades to electrical andmechanical systems; and office andstorage space improvements.

The rehab will comply with allcurrent building codes, includingthe Americans with DisabilitiesAct, and SculptureCenter will re-main open during construction withsome modification to its exhibi-tion schedule and public hours.

In total, the project involves$4.5 million in building funds and$1.5 million in working capital andterm endowments. Over half of the$6 million goal has been securedwith funds provided by QueensBorough President Helen M.Marshall, City Council Member

Jimmy Van Bramer, the NYC De-partment of Cultural Affairs, andSculptureCenter’s Board of Trust-ees. This is public money wellspent, said Borough PresidentMarshall at the groundbreaking.Culture is an anchor, and you havebeen a great anchor, Council Mem-ber Van Bramer added.

Founded by artists in Man-hattan in 1928, SculptureCenteris New York City’s only con-temporary art museum solelydedicated to sculpture. In 2001,SculptureCenter purchased itscurrent venue, a former trolleyrepair shop built in 1908 withan enclosed outdoor lot, onPurves Street.

Cub ScoutEaster Egg Hunt

NYC Parks Enforcement Patrol has ju-risdiction over park security. The NYPD isonly called to supplement if the Parks can-not handle the matter. Residents voiced con-cern about the slowness of response, and adesire for more onsite presence and patrols.

Patricia Dorfman, Vice President of the108 Council, has run the last three meetingsin the absence of President Diane Ballek,

(continued from front page) (out with knee surgery but returning April30). Pat noted, “With CompStat, the com-puterized, integrated crime tracking and tar-geting of hot spots, the city saves us a lot ofmoney on manpower and crime has gonedown radically.”

Dorfman added, “ But that means thattoday’s C.O.’s seem to have to protect vastprecincts with a designated force scarcelylarger than the security at Bloomingdales.We no longer get as much of the comfortingsight of many officers on foot.”

Don McCallian, longtime Treasurerof the organization, is also under theweather, and he is missed and expectedback soon. The next meeting will 7pm,Tuesday night, April 30.

Cub Scout Pack 390 and their Den Moth-ers conducted an Easter Egg Hunt, coloredeggs for Easter and held an awards cer-emony for their newly trained adult leaders.As they colored eggs for Easter, the boyslearned about the origins of the Easter Bunnyand the goddess Ostara as well as the resur-rection of Christ and how early Christianscombined the two festivals to recruit new (continued on on the next page )

Christians. After coloring their eggs theboys conducted an Easter Egg Hunt in STTeresa’s auditorium.

North Star Fund AnnouncesNew Grants

to Complete Three-Year $8million Program

North Star Fund donated $3,038,807to 15 organizations in Western Queensin the final round of a three-year $8million initiative to reshape Woodside,Sunnyside, Astoria and Long Island Cityas environmentally sustainable neigh-borhoods and to bring green jobs tothese communities. By the end of thisyear, Western Queens will have 830new trees, 23 new school and commu-nity gardens, dozens of green intern-ships, and educational programs thatreach over fifty thousand people a year.Innovative new programs are showingthe impact of community basedcomposting and biking culture. We fo-cused on grants that will allow the workto continue when the funding ends. Whenthis program is complete, WesternQueens will become a model for whathappens when communities and theirallies in the activist and non-profit spacework together, said North Star Fundexecutive director Hugh Hogan.

North Star Fund sees community andcitywide partnerships as a key to long termsuccess. For example, Sunnyside Commu-nity Services will train student interns tocare for the new trees, planted by the CityParks Foundation, as part of its green jobsinternship program. Against a backdrop ofdraconian cuts to urban forestry services inNew York City over the last decade, Trees

NeighborhoodGoing Green

New York is also training local residents tocare for the existing and newly planted trees.Queens Library Foundation is expandingtheir multi-lingual environmental resourcecenters, called Greening Libraries, andlocal groups like Asian Americans for Equal-ity are reaching out to low income immi-grant communities to promote the resourcecenters and other projects activities fundedover the last three years.

The new partnerships are already affect-ing life in Western Queens. “It’s like rain ina desert. Life is blooming in unexpectedways, and places and people are respondingwith love and gratitude. It is a wonderfulthing,” said Alyssa Bonilla, founding mem-ber Western Queens Power for the PeopleCampaign, and an Advisory Board Memberof North Star Fund’s Greening WesternQueens Fund.

Several projects already are destined forlong-term impact thanks to grants from theGreening Western Queens Fund. TheBIG!NYC compost initiative has grown froma small, volunteer-run operation is 2009 tothe largest local organics recovery programin the city. They currently compost 1.5 tonsper week and will expand significantly thisyear. We are expanding our reach throughconvenient drop-off sites throughout all ofWestern Queens, said Gina Baldwin, pro-gram coordinator at BIG!NYC

BIG!NYC has been able to leverage itsGreening Western Queens grant to secureongoing funding from the New York CityDepartment of Sanitation.

To select the grantees, North Star Fundbrought together an advisory board that in-cluded both community members and ex-perts in green infrastructure and urban for-estry. A full list of advisory board membersand descriptions of grantees is available ath t t p : / / n o r t h s t a r f u n d . o r g / p d f s /NSF_GWQ_Grants_Year_3.pdf

The Greening Western Queens programis supported by an $8 million fund from theNew York State Public Service Commis-sion. North Star Fund was selected to be thedistributor of funds because the foundationis skilled at working in partnership withdiverse New York City communities.

“I am proud of my work to help curbgun violence. I strongly support the com-prehensive package of gun reforms pro-posed by the Obama Administration andI have authored two common sensepieces of legislation aimed at keepingour communities safer. One bill wouldput some teeth in the law against guntrafficking and straw purchases.

violence some recourse if they are in-jured. 100,000 Americans are injuredby guns every year. Carrying insuranceis the responsible thing to do.

“Given all the acts of gun violencewe have seen in the past two years, theshootings in Aurora and Newtown, theattack on my friend and colleague GabbyGiffords, I take the threat of more gunviolence very seriously. But it is notsomething that I will allow to stop mefrom doing my work.”

Make Healthy Eating Fit Your Daily RoutineEating right is essential to keep-

ing your body running at its best.But nutrition advice doesn’t al-ways account for people’s variedlifestyles, health needs and tastes.

March, which is National Nu-trition Month, is an excellent op-portunity to review your diet andmake positive, sustainable changes.

So what’s the “right” way toeat for you? Experts say it’s not asrestrictive as you may think.

“There’s sometimes amisperception that eating properlymeans giving up favorite foods,” saysregistered dietitian and President ofthe Academy of Nutrition and Di-etetics, Ethan A. Bergman. “But in-cluding foods you love in your dietcan help you stick to your goals.”

As part of the “Eat Right, YourWay, Every Day” campaign,Bergman suggests that those look-ing to eat a healthy diet, tailor foodchoices to meet lifestyle, needsand preferences:

• Business People: Busy work-days can lead to on-the-fly meals.For desktop dining, keep single-serve packages of crackers, fruit,peanut butter, low-sodium soup or

canned tuna in your desk.Always on the go? Tuck por-

table, nonperishable foods in yourbag for meals on the run. Trygranola bars, peanut butter andcrackers, fresh fruit, trail mix orsingle-serve packages of whole-grain cereal or crackers.

• Athletes: Whether you’re acompetitive athlete or just enjoyworking out, what you eat affectsyour performance. Eat a light mealor snack before exercising, such aslow-fat yogurt, a banana or cerealwith low-fat milk. Before, duringand after exercise, drink plenty ofwater or a sports drink, if you prefer.

• Students: For nutritious, bud-get-friendly snacking, combineprotein and carbohydrates, suchas apples and peanut butter, low-fat cheese and whole-grain crack-ers or hardboiled eggs and fruit.These also double as quick grab-and-go breakfasts.

At the cafeteria, salad bars area great choice — just go easy onthe high-calorie add-ons.

• Families: Family meals allowparents to be role models to ensurekids eat right. And, just because a

meal is made quickly doesn’t meanit can’t be nutritious.

Keep things simple. Choose in-gredients you can use for more thanone meal. For example, cook extragrilled chicken for salad or fajitasthe next day. Get the kids involved.They can make the salad, set thetable or do other simple tasks.

• Vegetarians: A vegetarian dietcan include just as much variety asone including meat. For example,nutrient-rich beans are a greatchoice. Enjoy vegetarian chili, ahummus-filled pita sandwich orveggie burger. Many popular itemsare or can be vegetarian — pastaprimavera, veggie pizza and tofu-vegetable stir-fry.

• Meat lovers: Keep yourmeaty meals heart-healthy by se-lecting lean cuts and choosingchicken, turkey and fish moreoften. Avoid deep fried foods.Instead, bake, broil, roast, stewor stir-fry your meals.

Remember, good nutritionisn’t meant to make you suffer.With exercise and moderation,you can enjoy your favoritefoods regularly.
