Tropical reptile found in Queens neighborhood is safe and sound BY RAISA CAMARGO editorial@qns.com/@QNS A Savannah Monitor lizard that was found a month ago in Flushing is now safe and sound at the Central Veterinary Association in Valley Stream, New York, according to police. The four-foot lizard was apparently found under a garbage can on the 167th Street in Flushing. Police in the 109th  Precinct responded and retrieved the large lizard after receiving a 911 call. The lizard was confined to a basement when they arrived. The 109th Precinct made the discovery into a guessing game on their Twitter page last week. Dr. John Charos of the Central Veterinary Association said when the lizard arrived at the clinic, she was dehydrated and underweight. Now, the lizard weighs 11 pounds and after a week and a half more of antibiotic treatment he believes she will be ready for adoption. “She is sweet and docile - we’ll keep her until we find a good home for her,” he said. The lizard was first labeled as a Komodo dragon, but it’s actually considered a Monitor lizard, according to officials at the Central Veterinary Association. Komodo Dragons are found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo and are considered a member of the Monitor lizard family. Maspeth school brings farmfresh produce to community BY ANTHONY GIUDICE agiudice@qns.com @A_GiudiceReport Ordering fresh food has never been easier. Farmigo, an online farmers market and certified Benefit Company which delivers fresh, seasonal produce sourced from local farms once a week, is partnering with Martin Luther School (MLS) to bring the best food to heart of Maspeth. MLS has decided to join Farmigo because they will make weekly deliveries of fresh produce, meats, dairy, cheese, eggs and artisanal goods directly to the school, making it easier than ever to insure the students are eating healthy. The best part is that parents can place online orders for food through Farmigo and pick it up right at the school, which is located at 60-02 Maspeth Ave. All of the food is harvested to order, and buying from small farms supports sustainable practices and the local economy. As an added benefit, with enough orders, 10 percent of the sales will be donated to MLS to fund initiatives at the school. Parents have every week until Sunday night at midnight, to place their order. The next day, the farmers and producers harvest and pack the order to be delivered every Wednesday. Orders can be made from week-to-week, skip a week or parents can even place weekly standing orders. There are no commitments, order minimums, or delivery fees to use Farmigo. The first delivery to MLS will be Wednesday, April 13, and orders can picked up at the school from 2:30 -4:30 p.m. Place your first order before midnight, Sunday, April 10, to try it out. Use coupon code LOCAL20 at checkout to get 20 percent off your first order. Farmigo is currently only offering this service to parents and employees of MLS.
