WAR DOC SCREENS AT UWS CHURCH West-Park Presbyterian Church, at 165 W. 86th St., is hosting an advance screening of a new documentary film, The Second Meeting, followed by a panel discussion with one of the film's subjects and the producer and director, ?eljko Mirkovi. The film follows U.S. Air Force pilot Dale Zelko on a journey back to Serbia, 12 years after his plane was shot down during the NATO bombing in the Kosovo conflict. Zelko returns to meet with the Serbian officer who commanded the missile battery that shot down his F-117A stealth fighter plane. The film follows the two men as they come face to face under very different circumstances and explores their connection in peacetime. Zelko and Mircovic will be answering questions after the screening. Saturday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m. Free, donations accepted. REPUBLICAN RIVAL FOR ESPAILLAT State Sen. Adriano Espaillat, who represents parts of the Upper West Side and northern Manhattan, easily won the Democratic primary in his bid for re-election but will now be facing a Republican challenger on the ballot in November. Martin Chicon has faced off against Espaillat in the past, when he challenged him for his Assembly seat in 2004 and lost. Now Chicon, who also has Dominican roots (his parents emigrated from Santiago), is presenting himself as a stark alternative to Espaillat. In a statement announcing his campaign, Chicon stressed that he would set himself apart from the sitting senator by promoting development in the district and aligning himself with real estate interests. "As an alumni of Fordham's Lincoln Center campus, I am a byproduct of the real estate development that took place in the Upper West Side during the 1960s, thanks to [Robert] Moses' vision for the area," Chicon said. "In this time of high unemployment and economic uncertainty, I strongly support more real estate developments like Trump's already completed Riverside South-projects that will bring into the area much-needed jobs, as well as a further rise in the overall value of the area." Chicon also criticizes Espaillat for not adequately representing the southern part of the district, saying that he only spends time in Washington Heights, and is a strong opponent of the recently adopted "soda ban" in the city, Mayor Bloomberg's initiative to limit the size of sugary drinks sold at concession stands and restaurants.
