At the heart of the issue was the idea of the “character of the neighborhood.” As developers try getting approval from community boards to begin construction on new houses, their project plans are being compared to neighboring structures. However, with no legal definition of the term, many buildings have been approved by the Board of Standards & Appeals (BSA), despite community opposition. Ed Jaworski, president of the Madison-MarineHomecrest Civic Association, offered an example of such a case when a developer proposed a plan for a building, which she said would fit the character of the neighborhood. “She appeared at Community Board 15,” Jaworski said. “All the houses on the block are single-family houses, and the new house would also be a single-family house. It appeared to fit the character of the neighborhood. The board voted ‘yes’ so she got the special permits. What she didn’t say was, sure it will be a single-family house, but it will be three times bigger than any other house on the block. It will also go back 30 more feet than any other houses on the block.” Under the current laws, only the actual structures are considered as part of the character of the neighborhoods when determining if the planned houses should be approved. However, backyards vary greatly across neighborhoods. “Marine Park is 95 percent composed of one and two-family homes,” stated MPCA President Bob Tracey. “They are no more than two and one half stories tall and 1,800 square feet or less of living space, not including basement levels. They have front and rear setbacks as well as front and rear yards. They are detached, attached and semi-detached homes. That is what the definition of our neighborhood is. This is what needs to be the definition with the BSA.” “There is smoke and mirrors,” said MPCA 1st Vice President Sebastian Crociata. “The Mayor’s Office and BSA and Department of Building (DOB) say ‘affordable housing’ and ‘senior housing’ to get proposals approved. Who would turn down ‘senior housing’? But it’s leading to high-rise buildings and other structures that don’t fit the character of the neighborhoods!” “All civic associations need to come together and discuss the zoning of their areas,” Councilman Jumaane Williams said. “Decide which parts need to Within a couple of hours, gun violence hit our community two times last week. During the same time police responded to shots fired on East 82nd Street near Flatlands Avenue, another shooting took place in the Flatlands area. In Canarsie, at around 1 p.m. Friday June 12th, someone was reportedly seen running down East 82nd Street – a block away from Bildersee Junior High School – firing their weapon at two cars. Reports stated that one of the cars was occupied and that the driver might have been targeted, but that has not been confirmed. No one was injured following the shooting, but police with the 69th Precinct cordoned off the block, where almost a dozen shell casings were scattered along the street. Windows on the two cars were blown out as well as one of the car’s tires. Around the same time, a man was shot and injured near East 56th Street and Avenue I. According to police sources, a 21-year-old man was sitting in a car on the block when he was shot in the right wrist and the side of his neck. He survived his injuries and no one saw the gunman flee from the location. No arrests have been made in either incident and video surveillance footage has not yet been released with the suspects’ information. Anyone with information on the shootings is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577. be kept as two to three-floor houses and create corridors for potential four, five and six-floor buildings. It’s beneficial to go to City Planning with an idea of which sections need to be changed for different zoning.” Councilman Alan Maisel urged residents to write personalized letters to their elected officials, the BSA, DOB and Mayor’s Office, stating exactly what they would want done to their neighborhood zoning districts. A list of these officials, as well as which ones represent the Land Use Committee, will be posted on the MPCA website: http://marineparkcivic.com/. Ed Jaworski, president of the Madison-MarineHomecrest Civic Association, explains neighborhood character. Suspected “L” Train Attackers Wanted Police recently released new photos of two ruthless punks they believe are connected to an attack that took place on the “L” train last month. Reports stated that a group of about five youths were onboard a Canarsie-bound train at around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15th, when they approached a 16-yearold and asked him, “What gang are you in?” When he told them he wasn’t in a gang, the punks punched and kicked him in the face and all over his body. They then pulled him off the train at the Atlantic Avenue stop and continued to assault him. After the thugs knocked the victim unconscious, they stole his cell phone, sneakers and jeans and then fled the subway station in unknown directions. The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital where he was admitted for concussion and severe injury to his right eye. On May 18th, one of the attackers, Brandon Parchment, 15, was arrested and charged with gang assault, robbery, menacing and harassment. Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577. All calls will be kept confidential. 4 Canarsie Courier June 18, 2015 Fishing On The Dock Of The Pier Canarsie Pier was the place to be last Friday night when hundreds were lured into a special fishing program. Assemblywoman Roxanne Persaud and Millennium Development hosted their first-ever Canarsie Pier Fishing Event for families and kids. Fishing rods and bait were provided – all participants had to do was reel in a big one! Over 50 kids registered, many who had never fished before, but there was plenty of fishing tips from seasoned fishermen and a Gateway park ranger. Approximately 150 bystanders cheered on the “fisherman in training,” some who hooked some nicesized catches. Everyone received a certificate of participation and had a “reel-y” good time. If you missed last week’s event, don’t worry…the Assemblywoman plans on hosting more fishing events this summer.

June 18, 2015 5 Canarsie Courier Students Share Their Wisdom For A United Community By Linda Steinmuller Community School District 18 and the Hebrew Educational Society (H.E.S.) have never partnered on a project together - until Bookmark Contest 2015. Recognizing that both organizations share the same values, H.E.S. Executive Director Elie Rubinstein reached out to Community School Superintendent Beverly Wilkins, suggesting they collaborate on those important values – students, learning and community. They came up with the theme “Unity in OUR Community” for the bookmark contest. Over 250 kids created unique bookmarks, and a panel of over 10 judges chose the ones they believed best represent the theme. On Monday night, the H.E.S. held an award ceremony for the lucky winners. Prizes were given to students in five categories: Kindergarten, 1st to 2nd grade, 3rd to 5th grade, 6th to 8th grade and the H.E.S. Inspiration Award. Rubinstein told parents and students, “I wanted to do something after the spike in shootings and crime in our community last year. Canarsie is a great community, and I want to give kids an opportunity to excel in extra activities.” He’s hoping the contest will become an annual event.

Canarsie Job Fair Aims To Open Doors For Community Youths President of the 69th Precinct Community Council Gardy Brazela believes that if youths are working, there’s less of a chance they will get involved in criminal activity. In an effort to give youngsters opportunities to apply for jobs and hone real world skills, the council hosted its first job fair on Tuesday at Our Lady Of Miracles. Various recruiters – from city agencies to local businesses – accepted resumes and interviewed candidates, who were dressed to the nines and ready to apply! This was one of many events that Brazela has coordinated and organized, with the help of elected officials and other civic organizations, since he took over as council president in January.

By Dara Mormile Memorial Held For Neighborhood Friend Suzanne Carey’s friends and family gathered in front of Marine Park’s Carmine Carro Community Center Tuesday night to remember her life. Known as “Smiley Sue” by everyone who knew her, Suzanne passed away in her sleep due to pulmonary edema on June 16, 2014. She was 21 years old. “She was really someone special – a teacher’s pet with a heart of gold,” her mother Mary said. “Suzanne was someone everyone could go to when they were down and she would lift them up. Everyone in the neighborhood knew and loved her.” The memorial was kicked off by the release of balloons. Schoolmates, coworkers, and many others reminisced about their time with the beloved resident. Many read poems and letters, and candles were lit to mark the occasion. The candles were placed in the pattern of a smiling face in honor of Sue’s nickname. 6 June 18, 2015 Canarsie Courier They Might Be “All Out” But Violence In The City Is The “In” Thing! Telling It Like It Is By Dara Mormile very time a call comes in over the police scanner for “shots fired,” the crew goes into a frenzy. Did anyone get shot – and if so, are they alive? What house were they shot in front of? What are all those helicopters doing in the sky and what does the armed suspect – or suspects - look like? What kind of car did they get away in? Are the cops going to tell us ANYTHING this time when we get to the crime scene? Within the last week, there were several calls of “shots fired” – a couple resulting in serious injuries and another resulting in a Breukelen Houses resident’s death after he was shot execution style. I ran to the scene of one shooting where shell casings scattered the southern end of East 82nd Street – where two cars had their windows blown out in broad daylight. I know that the NYPD is putting more police officers in high crime areas – but their “Summer All Out Initiative” doesn’t seem to be helping us YET and it’s not even officially summertime! Hours and days after a shooting, police officers sometimes station themselves on the block or near a home where the violence took place – thinking they’ll see someone who fits the description of the gunman. I can’t help but think – too late now! There will never be enough police officers on E the force to thwart shootings – especially those which take place in a building or home where officers aren’t patrolling – and many which are in decent neighborhoods where you wouldn’t suspect shootings will take place. When I heard that someone accidentally opened gunfire in the Waldorf Astoria in the city Saturday night – just as a wedding was about to begin – I couldn’t help but wonder if this would have happened if cops were present. Cops at a wedding? This area is NOT part of the NYPD’s initiative, but why would we need to go to those extremes? The Waldorf Astoria – a prestigious location for the most elegant of events – the scene of a shooting where a woman was grazed by a bullet? The NYPD might be “All Out” but the maniac, who felt the need to bring a gun to a wedding, was INSIDE! When the media reported that a rival gang member opened fire at a Flatbush funeral home – yes, a FUNERAL, where you pay respects to the deceased – in April, killing three people due to an “unsettled dispute,” was the NYPD prepared for more incidents like these? They could be stationed all over those streets and we’d still have the same front-page story, which read “Summer All Out” has all the right components – it places over 300 extra police officers in areas such as East New York, East Flatbush, Brownsville and Williamsburg – where the murders and shootings occur. While the detectives in each precinct are ‘on the case’ trying to solve all of the shootings and find the ‘perps,’ police officers are on routine patrol – whether it’s on foot or in their cruiser. However, you can put as many officers on the streets as you want – no one will be prepared for the sporadic hail of bullets that fly across the street or inside of what’s supposed to be a “safe” building when cops aren’t around. It’s also obvious the city’s club scenes aren’t patrolled all that well. Cops were unable to prevent the shooting that took place at an establishment called D Avenue early Monday morning in the Flatbush community. Let’s get real – it seems like there’s been even MORE shootings since the “Summer All Out” initiative began! We’re not just talking about a spike in crime – we’re talking a non-stop shooting marathon. At the very same time police officers with the 69th Precinct were investigating the shots fired at East 82nd Street last week, a man in the neighboring 63rd Precinct was shot near Avenue I and East 56th Street. When will deploying more officers finally pay off? Everyone says they’re sick of the violence – but obviously, the gun-wielding thugs aren’t! What does Police Commissioner Bratton have to do to make us feel safer? Maybe he should work with the U.S. Army and place guards and military personnel all over the city...Maybe we should have combat vehicles patrolling, helicopters flying overhead once an hour… The cost of keeping our city safe is beyond imaginable, but I strongly believe that no measures will curtail the violence that we’re now facing. How can the NYPD step up its efforts and how can residents feel safer in their communities? With each passing day, it seems these are rhetorical questions that won’t be answered by the end of the summer. Ridge Abstract Corp.

According to police, a black male, about 35-45 years old, entered the store, 669 Stanley Avenue, at about 5 a.m. on Saturday, June 13th. He took a firearm out and demanded money from the store clerk. He proceeded to go behind the counter and stole money, along with cigarettes, before he attempted to flee the scene. Reports stated that the store clerk tried to contain the crook by holding the entrance door closed, but the robber fired a shot at him and missed, and instead struck the ankle of a 47year-old man who was walking across the street. The suspect then fled the location. The store clerk was uninjured, but paramedics took the wounded shooting victim to Brookdale Hospital where he survived his injuries. The armed robber is described as 6-3”, 270 pounds and was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black jeans and white and black sneakers. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577TIPS.

Witnesses said that the suspect ran from the East New York area into Canarsie after committing the armed robbery. Police cordoned off portions of Glenwood Road, Flatlands Avenue, East 99th Street to East 103rd Street and combed backyards for the suspect. NYPD’s Aviation Unit was out in full force while the K-9 Unit hit the streets for evidence, as they believed the suspect dropped the stolen phone – and possibly the weapon – somewhere in the vicinity of a playground at East 100th Street and Glenwood Road. The search lasted about two hours but it is unknown, as of press time, if any arrests have been made.

For those looking to stay healthy, there was free health, dental, nutritional and mammography screenings available, as well as asthma and stroke information. Free food and refreshments, along with a DJ and live music by the Brooklyn United Evolution Band, kept the crowd energized and ready to rock to Zumba classes and rock climbing.

Passersby said they heard a loud crash around 5:15 p.m., but no one knows for sure what happened. Eyewitnesses said a white car, with two passengers, crashed into the cop car. The white car, which sustained front-end damage, must have been traveling at an excessive speed because the impact of the collision caused the police car to spin around and ram backwards into the fence of someone’s yard. Everyone involved in the crash – a female driver and male passenger of the white car and two officers - were injured. The four victims were taken by EMS to area hospitals for their injuries.

The DOT held four workshops – two in Queens and two in Brooklyn – where residents were encouraged to come up with ideas to provide better access to the Jamaica Bay Greenway, a stretch of biking and walking paths along the Belt Parkway, spanning from Sheepshead Bay to Howard Beach. Canarsiens flooded the Canarsie/Spring Creek workshop, which was held on June 10th at P.S. 272, and loudly expressed their displeasure with the DOT’s plans. The overwhelming majority of residents said “no” to changing East 108th Street from a two-way street into a one-way street. They also said “nay” to an alternate proposal to 15 Canarsie Courier create a bike lane along East 105th Street. Most agreed, but were hesitant, that they would be amenable to a bike lane on East 108th Street as long as it remains a two-way thoroughfare. So, it’s back to the drawing board for the DOT until a revised plan is completed. Last week, the DOT added preliminary markings for bike lanes along East 102nd Street and Seaview Avenue. They abruptly end at East 108th Street, presumably until negotiations over the disputed site are finalized. Last week’s meeting is proof when community residents get involved – and speak up – changes can be made. You can fight City Hall or, in this case, the DOT!

Two Flatbush organizations – Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) and Flatbush Development Corporation (FDC) hosted its 2015 Housing Resource Fair at Brooklyn College on Saturday, June 13th. “Protect and care, protect and reserve,” said Executive Director of NHS-East Flatbush, Tonya Ores, about the theme of the fair. The resource fair was a chance for the community to learn about homeownership, home preservation, tenants’ rights, purchasing, maintaining and finding affordable homes in Brooklyn. It also provided one-on-one counseling for those who might not be comfortable in speaking in front of a group and covered a number of topics from mortgage check-ups to tenant insurance counseling. There were home buyer workshops and disaster preparedness workshops. In addition to the NHS and FDC, ID New York City, Brooklyn Real Property, NYC Department for the Aging, Health and Housing Preservation and Development and the NYC Office of Emergency Management were on hand to offer assistance. “Affordable housing for working families is necessary and to be able to have access to properties is important,” said CEO of NHS of NYC, Bernell K. Grier, who also stressed the need for homeowner support. “When you look at the Mayor’s plan, there’s barely anything in there about homeownership. They’re not creating new homeownership and it used to be the case in New York years ago.” Ores said, “We provide the steps for home purchasing and maintaining your homes and avoiding predatory lending. Because of loss of job, loss of rental income or change in their mortgage rate in the event that homeowners can’t make their payments on a monthly basis, instead of losing their homes, NHS would be there to advocate on their behalf and intervene.” Where NHS works hand-in-hand with homeowners, FDC represents the tenants in East Flatbush buildings where tenants are being chased out due to deregulation and unethical landlords. Therefore, the need for an organization like the FDC is significant. “Our individual tenant work is to help you stay in your apartment,” Executive Director of the FDC, Robin Redmond said. “We’ll help you navigate the court system; we’ll help you figure out if you’re eligible to get legal aid.” While explaining services that their organizations boast, Ores and Redmond also offered the best advice to homeowners. “Know your rights and understand that you have NHS members covered all topics rights as a tenant,” Redmond said. Redmond also mentioned that you should never pay in cash because there is no proof of payment. Document everything, keep your leases and record the dates when you pay. “If you’re purchasing a home, it’s good to get the information and if you’re preserving your home, it’s good to get the education,” Ores simply stated. Being self-aware, it seems, is key to being a homeowner. The housing resource fair did more than just inundate residents with information. At Brooklyn College, NHS, FDC and all of the other sponsors successfully provided hope that better days for homeowners and tenants lie ahead.

The second match of the day, Antigua & Barbuda versus Haiti, was called off midway through the first half after a disgruntled Antigua player walked off the field during the pitch. “It was very unfortunate that Antigua showed up with less than a full squad,” said John Melbourne, a director at the NY Caribbean Cup. “It’s not good for the tournament, it’s not good for the team because fans come to see them play.” Starting play with just seven players—the minimum requirement—the team was forced to concede the game to a Haiti team that tallied two goals through the 18-minute game. Cup-leading scorer Alfred Sothonax netted his sixth goal of the cup while Jean-Kismy Francois also scored for Haiti. The three points for Haiti places the team in sole possession of first place in the eastern zone. In the feature match of the day, Trinidad and Tobago versus St. Lucia, both goalkeepers were in good form, making numerous game-saving stops in a 1-1 draw. After the opposing goalkeeper misfired on a kick, leaving him out of position to protect the goal, Taj Marcelin fired a strike right past him to put St. Lucia on the board first. Trinidad put together a nice attack shortly after, with Conrad Smith being the beneficiary, beating the goalkeeper to the right post for the equalizer. After two goals through the first 15 minutes of play, the remainder of the game featured both teams attacking well but coming up empty as the winning goal appeared imminent but never came. “I expected that kind of a game,” Melbourne said. “Both teams have won the Caribbean Cup in previous years.” St. Kitts & Nevis dominated Panama 4-1 in a physical match-up that saw six yellow cards, three by each team respectively. An early penalty set the tone of the match, allowing Eduardo McCalla to score the opening goal for Panama in the third minute. Alister Warner scored the equalizing goal one minute later with a high-arching chip shot over the goalkeeper. He later found Donroy Liburd in the box for a 21-minute goal. Second half goals from Kassell Greene and Joeski Williams put the game out of reach at the 52-minute mark, however Panama played hard till the end. “When Panama fell behind, they resulted to physical play,” Melbourne said. “They have very good players but they will become very physical.” On the pitch, next week will be St. Vincent/Grenadines versus Dominica, with Jamaica returning to play against Guyana.

She felt it would be a good way to memorialize him, and help family members cope with the sudden loss while bringing the disease much-needed attention. Last Saturday, at Marine Park, approximately 200 people walked and ran in remembrance of Daris— who died of a ruptured brain aneurysm, a weak bulging spot on the wall of a brain artery that burst, at the age of 30—and others affected by the disease. Volunteers and medical professionals were also available to provide information on the condition. Patrick Bagarozza, Daris’ brother, said the walk, now in its third year, started small. But everyone involved in the cause has been working hard to help raise awareness for a condition that desperately needs it, with positive results. “There’s a lot of work done with breast cancer and autism, and there’s not much done for brain aneurysms,” Bagarozza said. “So, there’s a void that’s kind of being filled right now. And it’s apparent every year that it’s getting bigger and bigger, with more participants, and more sponsors. So, we’re very grateful to everyone who has been involved in getting this off the ground.” Dr. Michael Ayad, Director of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery at New York Methodist Hospital, said there’s about six million Americans (one in 50 people) living with brain aneurysms. Moreover, many people don’t even know they have it because unruptured brain aneurysms are typically completely asymptomatic. “Most (brain) aneurysms actually don’t rupture,” Dr. Ayad explained. “Many people have aneurysms, and they may never know throughout their whole life that they have an aneurysm. They may die with the aneurysm that has never ruptured.” For some with the affliction, large, unruptured aneurysms can occasionally press on the brain or the nerves stemming out of it and may result in various neurological symptoms, according to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation’s website, Bafound.org. However, every year, 30,000 people in the United States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture, Bafound.org reported. In those cases, 40 percent are fatal. Of those who survive, about 66 percent suffer some permanent neurological deficit. But it’s not all gloom and doom for brain aneurysm patients. “If somebody is brought to an appropriate facility who can treat aneurysms, we can attack the source of the bleeding,” Dr. Ayad said. “Many of them can make fanatic recoveries, such as the survivors here today.” Clarissa Parrish is one of the lucky ones. At the age of 24, she started experiencing slight headaches for a week, eventually increasing to a severe one, along with vomiting. She wound up passing out at work, prompting coworkers to call for an ambulance. The doctors discovered four aneurysms, which were gradually hemorrhaging, requiring surgery to stop the bleeding. Parrish, 27, credits Dr. Philip E. Stieg–Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and Neurosurgeon-in-Chief at New York-Presbyterian Hospital—for saving her life. Parrish had trouble seeing, experiencing double vision for a month, and had seizures. She used a cane, and needed added personal assistance to walk for some time. Today, Parrish said she still endures bouts of dizziness and slight headaches, especially before it rains, and double vision does occur when she looks up. But she was happy to attend the event at Marine Park. “I came out to support, and also try to find other survivors,” the Staten Island native said. Plus, “To help bring awareness, because of the misconceptions. I want to bring as much (awareness) as possible.” Though her condition makes life challenging at times, Parrish, who said she’s back to around 80 percent, does have a reason to push forward – her fiveyear-old son Moses. “Even when I was feeling completely out of it, I’d just look at him,” said Parrish, who plans on returning to school to study entertainment technology. “He is my motivation to keep going.” For more information on brain aneurysms, such as risk factors and warning signs, visit Bafound.org.

The Knights followed up their winning ways by making it all the way to AAA semifinals, where the team lost, 3-2, to Tottenville. Karnbach, a Mill Basin native, recorded a 51 record with 1.35 ERA in 36.20 innings of work during the regular season. He continued to excel in the postseason, posting a 2-0 mark with a miniscule 0.47 ERA in 15 innings. For his spectacular efforts, he earned a spot on the PSAL’s All-Star team, which faced the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA’s) best in the 2015 NYC Mayor’s Cup game Sunday at MCU Park on Coney Island. “It was great. It was my senior year, and I couldn’t ask for anything better,” Karnbach said of the way the season turned out for him and Madison. “We went all the way into the semifinals, and no one expected it from us. We had a great team. I made a lot of friends, and had a lot of fun.” Karnbach started and tossed two scoreless innings in the contest, which the CHSAA won, 7-2. The Gravesend resident believed it was his strong work ethic that helped him become a success, while his young teammates followed suit and went all out in order to prove the naysayers wrong. “Personally, I always work hard, and I always make sure I give 110 percent,” Karnbach said of his effort. “I think because we had a lot of young guys on the team this year, they did the same thing. They were all hungry; they were young. They were all trying to prove that they were supposed to be there. So it really helped us to work hard, fighting in these close games to win and go far.” Karnbach said he played for multiple youth leagues in Long Island and Brooklyn growing up, including Joe Torre, Bergen Beach, Amity and Good Shepherd. Not playing in one particular league for a long time, it forced him to hit the diamond with a vengeance as the new kid on the block. “I always had to prove myself,” Karnbach said. “I was always the new guy on the team. I always had to keep working to show I was the best on the field, and I did belong in the spot I was in.” Karnbach will be crossing the Verrazano to attend the College of Staten Island (CSI) in the fall to study physical therapy and play America’s pastime for the Dolphins. While it’s obvious he loves the game, he’s already eyeing life after baseball. “Actually, it’s the academic program in physical therapy that they have there, but the coach (Michael Mauro) saw me here (MCU Park) at the senior showcase, and wanted me come down,” he explained of the reasons why he’s headed to CSI. “I want to stay around athletes and sports because I love it, so I want to be around it my whole life.” Madison HS pitcher Chris Karnbach, who tossed two scoreless innings, pictured with his medal after the Mayor’s Cup All-Star game at MCU Park in Coney Island.

On Glenwood Road, between East 46th Street and Schenectady Avenue, under the train trestle, P.S./ I.S. 109, in association with Groundswell, unveiled their “Local Heroes” art gallery to the community during a special ceremony. P.S./I.S. 109's pr oject paid homage to heroes – local and international – who have impacted not just their community, but also the world at large. One of the heroes honored was Glenwood Mason Supply Company Inc. owner Connie Cincotta, who also is in the business of rebuilding her community for the better. This gesture by students of I.S. 109 validates why Cincotta’s portrait will remain on Glenwood Road for a very long tim e.

Mann Junior High School, with Queens defeating Brooklyn 38-32. As part of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s $145-million dollar afterschool funding program, Millennium SONYC Basketball League All-Star Game called for 24 players from participating schools to play. “It’s been an absolute pleasure working with this group of boys,” said Brett Rinella, coach of the Queens team. “A bunch of All-Stars from Queens - I’m very happy with how they played and how they performed and I look forward to the next opportunity to coach in the All-Star game. The game started off rough for the Queens team, as Brooklyn jumped out to an early 8-0 lead through the first five minutes of the game. The aggressors early, Brooklyn forced Queens into difficult shots, while using their size advantage to control the paint. A three-pointer from Joseph Alessandro put the Queens team on the board, sparking an 11-2 run to obtain an 11-10 lead halfway through the second quarter. That stretched to 16-11 before Brooklyn fought back to cut the deficit, going into the half down one at 18-17. After a first half of runs, the second half was tightly contested, with both teams matching each other bucket for bucket going down the stretch. Brooklyn reclaimed the lead after three quarters at 26-25, but allowed Queens to put together an 80 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Chris Bright scored a game-high 10 points for Queens, while Alessandro added another nine points. Both players were relentless in their attack of the basket, forcing the issue for layups and stripes to the charity stripe. “Enjoy this win, enjoy everything. Feel proud of yourself, you earned it,” Rinella said to his team after the game. “You worked hard to get to this point and only you guys are here. I’m real proud of you guys. Nice job of bringing home the win today.” 22 Canarsie Courier June 18, 2015 June 18, 2015 Canarsie Courier 23 24 Canarsie Courier June 18, 2015 Step Right Up And See The Show Hold your horses – the Big Apple circus is in town!

After graduating from South Shore High School’s Scholars Program, I went onto Adelphi University, Harvard University and, most recently, Seton Hall University. With all my formal education training, it still does not stand a chance against the information I learn from young people daily. I am not just speaking about the latest dances like the “Naa-Naa” and the “Wip” but as an advocate for youth development and education, young people continue to teach me the fundamental requirements necessary to ensure all students learn and grow in a positive environment. The author Stacey Moore wrote, “Being intelligent makes you responsible for the next man’s ignorance.” However, this quote could be interpreted in many different ways. “What do I want you to get from it?” I want you all to start valuing your education more. Become serious about who you are as an individual, so that you can help to lead others on a positive path. We all can learn from each other. We do not need to laugh or get angry when someone does not know something. We just have to teach them what we know. As you know, you are growing and maturing. It is important to remember that change is inevitable... Nonetheless, how you change is up to you. “Let your light shine!” When I was a student at Bildersee, I collected Marvel Comic cards. One day I asked myself, “What character would I want to be?” After some reflection, it came to me – “STORM!” Why Storm you ask? Storm, was a queen from Africa who had the power to control water and air. She could create a windstorm or cause lighting and thunder to appear to defeat her enemies. “Why is Storm important?” I took something as simple as the “powers” of a Marvel Comic character to motive myself to take the world by STORM! Although I was a member of South Shore High School’s honors program, I felt disheartened by the way they treated the students in the “mainstream.” Basically, students were being encouraged to take their GED versus being encouraged to make up a class. Students were dropping out of school in droves. I was determined to be different. I was motivated to use my powers to take the school by STORM! I became Senior Class President and encouraged ALL my peers (friends, non-friends, scholar students, mainstream students and alike) to stay in school, study and graduate on time. Then, when I went to Adelphi University I shared my experiences with a few people and we started an organization called Redemption (from Bob Marley’s Redemption Song). A group of us went to schools, churches and other organizations where we spoke to students about what they needed to do in order to graduate high school and go on to college or a trade school. Redemption continues to be a movement today because I was motivated at age 12 to take the world by STORM! I don’t expect you to be me because I expect you to be better than me!!! I know we live in a different time with smartphones, Ipads and Facebook. Beepers, disposable cameras and Marvel Comic cards might be played out / outdated. This is why I am excited to see - What are your powers and how will you use them? How will you live and grow? How will you re-charge when your powers are low? Finally, I am proud of each of you and all you have accomplished up to this point. You Only Live Once (YOLO)!!! Take this world by STORM, everyday!

Since 2006, food labels must state clearly whether the food contains any of the eight major food allergens: •Milk •Eggs •Peanuts •Tree nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans •Soybeans •Wheat •Fish •Shellfish such as crab, lobster, and shrimp GA If you or a member of your family suffers from food allergies, you must protect yourself at all times. While some allergies are just irritating, approximately 30,000 Americans go to the emergency room each year to get treated for allergic reactions to food. What is a food allergy? It is a specific kind of bad reaction to food that involves the immune system. The body produces an allergic antibody to a particular food. Once that food is eaten and binds with the antibody, there’s an allergic response. A food allergy is not the same as a food intolerance. A food intolerance is an abnormal response to a food or food component, but it does not involve the immune system in the same way as a food allergy. Food allergies pose a greater and much more acute health risk. In fact, it is estimated that up to 100 Americans die each year because of allergic reactions to food. What are the symptoms of a food allergy? The most common symptoms are: •Hives, itching, or skin rash •Swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat, or other parts of the body •Wheezing, nasal congestion, or trouble breathing .

Most NYC parks provide the field of play necessary to participate in these sports. However, on Saturday morning, a sport unfamiliar to most took center stage in Bergen Beach. A week after Erasmus Hall High School held its High School Archery Tournament, Roy H. Mann I.S. 78, in collaboration with Millennium Development and OAS (Olympic Archery In Schools), funded by the Easton Foundation, hosted its first Junior High Archery tournament. The competition featured students from the host school, Cunningham Jr. High, Fillmore Academy, Marine Park I.S. and School of Heroes. OAS Archery tournaments have taken place all over the country – specifically in California, Texas, Colorado and Florida – but this particular event was held on a smaller scale and marks the first year of competitive Olympic style Archery in Brooklyn and New York, in general. Roy H. Mann defeated all of the competing schools in every facet of the archery competition but the real story at the Bergen Beach school last Saturday morning was the bigger picture – the resurrection of the sport of archery in NY as well as OAS’s and Easton’s mission to revive archery all over the U.S. Before OAS was involved, Roy H. Mann’s archery program was established by 7th and 8th grade ELA teacher, Mike Amari. An English teacher, Amari has been shooting archery for 10 years and during his first year as a teacher at Roy H. Mann, he claimed he had to beg school officials to start an archery program at the middle school. Amari said it took a little convincing, but when he received the okay, the archer received some assistance from the range where he practices his craft. Friends also donated the equipment needed to stimulate the young minds into the world of bows and arrows. “I started out with five people at the range where I shoot,” Amari said. “They found out that I wanted to start a program. They bought some really cheap bows, bought some really cheap targets, a lot less equipment than you see here today, and we started with that.” Due to Amari’s passion for archery, OAS supplied the equipment. The goal he had for the students wasn’t to simply shoot arrows but compete with one another in an Olympic style format. He also wanted to teach kids how to cooperate with others and hopefully stick with the sport long after they graduate. In the end, exposure to the sport is what matters and Florida OAS State League Director, Phillip A. Graves, who has won 86 international medals as a coach, believes that archery is a viable option as a unique individual sport that offers the same education that team sports boast. “We are showing non-traditional sports here and teaching kids that don’t prefer a team sport, they can get into an individual sport with a team component,” said Graves, who managed the tournament. “It helps them to be more outgoing, selfaware, self-confident, responsible and accountable that is part of the learning of archery.” In addition, Graves expressed that archery is a very demanding physical sport that builds up endurance, hand-eye coordination, balance, and breathing – a mental aspect of the game. Archers learn to self-assess themselves, repeat their shots and focus. Along with Graves and Amari, Derek Davis, the Head Coach of Women’s Archery at Columbia University, a five-time champion as a head coach, assisted with the event and targeted the recent surface of archery in pop culture as one of the reasons for archery’s resurgence as a popular sport. “‘The Hunger Games’ is the big one,” Davis said. “The girls have grown over 100 percent over the past three years, because the girls see that character (Katniss) and want to do that.” Davis also mentioned the TV series “Arrow,” Pixar movie “Brave” and Hawkeye from “The Avengers” as other reasons for archery’s rise. A sport that was absent from middle schools and high schools is making a comeback, according to Graves. He said it won’t be long until archery makes its way to the PSAL. Graves hinted that the Public School Athletic League has already contacted him to continue the mission he began in New York that started before winter, laying the groundwork for an event like Roy H. Mann’s archery tournament. Out of the five schools that were in attendance, 14 schools are in the OAS program, which highlights the work that Graves has done in NYC. When it’s all said and done, basketball won’t be the only sport that Brooklyn is known for. Archery could potentially join the discussion. Students take aim at Roy H. Mann archery tournament. Students are required to add up their own scores with help from their teammates in team rounds or individually in single rounds. 31 Canarsie Courier June 18, 2015 IMPORTANT TELEPHONE NUMBERS 69th Pct.

Each Saturday at the 8:10 A.M Mass we will celebrate the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. Let’s have a deeper understanding of this healing sacrament. It is not Last Rites, at the moment of death. As Jesus ministered to the sick, so does the Church. It is for anyone who is seriously sick. So it is intended for those with an ongoing condition (Cancer, Sickle Cell, Asthma etc.) those who are going into hospital during the month for an operation, elderly whose health is slipping and for those with a mental illness like depression.

Canarsie Courier BROOKLYN CYCLONES Ticket Sweepstakes A Reminder Of Her Contributions Dear Editor, While reading the June 4th “Then And Now,” regarding P.S./I.S. 66, located at 845 East 96th Street, I was stunned to read that site was supposed to be a school from the beginning – which is NOT THE TRUTH! All of the elected officials in School District 18 and Dorothy Turano, District Manager of Community Board 18, wanted Canarsie Cemetery as the location. They spoke before the City Council as to why they felt it was the best location. I felt that the old Waldbaums supermarket would be the best location. Elected officials then said that the Waldbaums site was dangerous, citing that large trucks often traveled in that area. My argument was it was a road not traveled by trucks from the Pepsi Cola factory or by any trucks. I mentioned that many people took their driving lessons at that location. “While We Were Sleeping” Dear Editor, While residents in Canarsie lay sound asleep in their beds, NYC Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) would have implemented new traffic patterns along East 108th Street; plans that would have included a one-way traveling lane from Seaview Avenue to Flatlands Avenue, and a two-way bicycle lane. All of this would have been accomplished without a proper consultative process with residents who live in the area and who – now that they have learned about the proposal – definitely do not want their quality of life irrevocably destroyed. NYCDOT has produced colorful brochures to advertise their wares. However, some of the information contained within these tracts is spurious – at best. For example – the bicycle lane is supposed to “connect parks.” It begins at Canarsie Pier, then crosses a busy entrance ramp to the Belt Parkway east, then goes against traffic on Shore Parkway, continues along East 102nd Street (a two-way street); then flows along Seaview Avenue (between East 102nd and East 108th streets) adjacent to Canarsie Park. Beyond this point, were the bicycle lanes to continue to Flatlands Ave- nue along East 108th Street - and to which park would it connect? Is there a park at the Breukelen Houses that we do not know about? This assertion by NYCDOT is disingenuous. One morning, as Canarsie residents went to work, there were no markings along Seaview Avenue. However, upon their return home that night, they discovered that NYCDOT had been very busy bees. Bicycle lanes and narrowed traffic lanes were drawn on the road surface. They stopped literally on the corner of East 108th Street and Seaview Avenue – presumably because they are aware of the petition against their proposal, the impending review of Community Board 18’s premature decision on April 15th and the fact that Councilman Alan Maisel is against it. As a fellow Brooklynite has written – in relation to her own issues over at Brooklyn Bridge Park – “Money already owns New York City. It tramples on what people who live here want.” Come on Canarsie residents – time to wake up! Sincerely, Katherine Soverall Plus, there was a water leakage problem at Canarsie Cemetery, and it would be an act of desecration to move the dead. In the long run, the school was built where I felt was the best location. At that time I was the Tenant Leader at Breukelen Houses. As the leader, contributing to having the school built there was one of my greatest achievements. Wendy McClarin LEGAL NOTICES Canarsie Courier 36 June 18, 2015 Legal Notice File No. 2012-2729 PA.
