December 24, 2015 3 Canarsie Courier Residents who live on East 52nd Street and Avenue L woke up Saturday morning to the smell of smoke – only to learn that a neighbor’s house was on fire. After a blaze tore through 64year-old Alma Crosby’s twostory house at about 10 a.m., firefighters spent over a half hour battling flames. Unfortunately, after extinguishing the fire, Crosby was found in the basement of the house – where officials believe the fire started – and already died of her injuries. Over 60 firefighters reportedly responded to the smoky scene. Crosby, a former nurse and retired city worker, was reportedly blind, used a cane and lived by herself. Various media reports also stated that Crosby was somewhat of a loner and never sought help from others. The noted that neighbors attempted to alert the woman by banging on the front door of her house, but it was too late – she didn’t make it out of the burning house alive. Despite ongoing efforts to raise awareness of how important it is to have smoke detectors installed, fire officials and politicians can’t seem to do enough to get through to residents when it comes to fire safety. As of press time, the cause of the Old Mill Basin fire remains under investigation. Footage Of Mill Basin Shooting Suspects Released Police have a somewhat clear image of a suspect they believe is connected to the violence that took place outside of Strike 10 Lanes, which resulted in three people being shot on December 12th . Surveillance from inside and outside of the bowling alley, located at 6161 Strickland Avenue, shows a man walking around and then leaving the local hangout shortly before the shooting, which took place at 2:22 a.m. According to police, the man fired several rounds from a black semi-automatic handgun. In addition to shattering the glass entrance door, three people were hit – a 19-year-old male, who was struck in his right and left feet, a 22-yearold male, who was shot in his right thigh, and a 20-year-old male, who suffered one gunshot wound to his lower leg. All three victims were taken to Brookdale Hospital and survived their injuries. It’s still unclear what led to the shooting and if a brawl broke out outside of the establishment before bullets began flying. Meanwhile, the gunman remains at large and police are still asking for the public’s help in tracking down the violent thug. Anyone with information on the shooting 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 are strictly confidential. 4 Canarsie Courier December 24, 2015 Canarsie Girl Scouts Win Top Honors The Girl Scouts strive to lead by example through helping their family, their friends, the community and each other. In a special presentation held at P.S. 276’s auditorium last week, scouts of Troops 2054, 2070, 2550 and 2811 were recognized for their continuing efforts to uphold that principle. Troop leader Nicole Etienne called up the scouts from each division - Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors – to receive badges earned throughout the year as well as awards from the troop, the Girl Scouts and local officials. Girl Scout members are encouraged to join and/or create projects, which will benefit their communities. Those who complete 20 hours of work are eligible for the Bronze Award. Silver and Gold Award winners are required to complete 50 and 80 hours, respectively. This year Etienne proudly proclaimed Troop 2811 Scout Kendra Williams had won a Gold Award. During the time needed for the award, Williams was able to make and donate over 200 hats to a hospital for premature babies. “Kendra worked with local seniors to make all the hats and even went to other scouts and taught them how to crochet so they could help work on the project,” stated Etienne. “She was amazing.” Three other troop members took home the highest honor for Cadettes – the Silver Award. Aniya Francis worked with the NYPD to reach out to teens and other local youth to warn of the dangers of drug use and abuse. For students interested in working with animals, Arielle Etienne and Leela Briggs helped create a guide for careers in the field. The youngsters worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society at Prospect Park and the NY Aquarium to gather the information needed to complete the project for their awards. The guide may also be used for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) lessons in schools. In addition to the Gold and Silver Awards, all four young ladies received certificates or citations from Senator Roxanne Persaud, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Councilmen Alan Maisel and Jumaane Williams, and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. Williams, who received a framed certificate signifying the Gold Award win, will receive the official award at a reception held in May by the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York. The event at P.S. 276 was also a chance for new and returning scouts to be sworn in for 2016. “Where’s Rosa?” Our Business Manager Catherine Rosa is hidden somewhere in this issue of the Canarsie Courier.

The unidentified man who was found on the ground in Georgetown on Tuesday, December 15th, was not a shooting victim. We apologize for the error. Canarsie Courier December 24, 2015 A rash of gun violence took place within 24 hours over the weekend. Coincidentally, two shootings took place only a few miles away from each other – and the same scenario seemed to play out: the shooting victims were sitting in their luxury vehicles when they were targeted. The first incident was a double shooting that took place in Canarsie at East 96th Street near Avenue N Friday night. A couple sitting inside a dark red or black Mercedes was approached by a gunman who fired several rounds at them. Reports stated that the man, 25, and the woman, 23, survived gunshot wounds to the face and body. Both victims were taken to Brookdale Hospital as police investigated the car – finding several shell casings 5 Don’t ‘Bank’ On This Site Being Cleaned Up Soon! on the street. There is no description of the armed thug – who ran from the scene in an unknown direction. A similar shooting took place about three miles away from our community near Dean Street and Schenectady Avenue at 4 p.m. on Saturday. However, the shooting victim didn’t survive the senseless barrage of bullets. A 22-year-old who was sitting in his Infiniti was allegedly shot by a masked man. According to witnesses and police reports, the victim, identified as Sean Alexander Peart, was in his parked car when a man pulled up alongside him. The man got out and fired several shots at Peart’s vehicle. Peart was shot several times in the chest and died on the way to Interfaith Hospital. A fed-up resident contacted the Canarsie Courier this week to vent her frustration about the filthy trash that’s piled up outside Chase Bank, located on the corner of Rockaway Parkway and Avenue L. Although there aren’t any trash receptacles on the corner of the commercial strip, that’s no excuse for people to ‘deposit’ their garbage wherever they feel like – especially in the empty planters they’re turning into garbage bins! The Canarsie resident contacted the local bank branch but was told there was nothing they could do to rectify the problem. That just doesn’t make ‘cents’! Is there a lot or street piled up with trash or other bulky debris? Call the Canarsie Courier at 718-257-0600 and, in an effort to resolve the problem and bring it to the public’s attention, we might feature the unsightly mess in our next issue! By Linda Steinmuller Anaya Lee Willabus, Brooklyn’s youngest published author, started reading when she was two years old. She’s a frequent visitor to the Mill Basin Library but never dreamed her chapter book, “The Day Mohan Found His Confidence,” which she penned when she was 8, would find its way onto the shelves of the library she loves - and where she spent so much of her childhood reading. On Saturday, that dream became a reality at a book signing and press conference, where the announcement was made that her book is now available for everyone to borrow from the Mill Basin Library, 2385 Ralph Avenue, and Brooklyn’s Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. The goal-oriented author’s family hails from Guyana - where she got her inspiration for the book about a young boy named Mohan who faces challenges at both home and school. Since her book was released on June 1st, over 3,000 books were sold. Many books were gobbled up by the Guyanese government and are available in schools throughout the country - and at their only library. This summer, Anaya, who is a fourth grade student at P.S.236, received a personal invitation by Guyanese dignitaries to visit their country. While there, she had the opportunity to meet the First Lady and offer words of encouragement to many people of all ages. Locally, she has the support of her family and Mill Basin librarians, Victoria Hill and Ann Lautner, who couldn’t be more proud of her. State Senator Roxanne Persaud, who is also Guyanese, and Councilman Alan Maisel are strong supporters of the 9-year-old Mill Basin student. Anaya told the that Councilman Maisel would love to see more books about Mohan, with a focus on anti-bullying. “I’m thinking about a Mohan series and/or an autobiographical book,” the inspiring author said.

Happy holidays and however else you want to accept greetings! What’s the best gift of all – according to the city? If you ask the NYPD, it’s probably their Citywide Holiday Pedestrian Safety Initiative, which was released (wrapped up all nice and neat as a PDF file for those who are on the NYPD’s e-mailing list) on Monday, December 14th. Thanks Commissioner Bratton! I love receiving the gift of knowledge that your officers will work extra harder to “prevent” accidents! Wait…Is this also the gift of for drivers? Hmmm… The Holiday Pedestrian Safety Initiative, according to the NYPD, focuses more on areas surrounding senior centers throughout the city. Since the initiative ended on Sunday, December 20th, this was only a temporary “gift” to a permanent problem. Officers reportedly focused on seven Vision Zero violations, which includes failure to yield to pedestrians and moving violations. In the NYPD press release, they noted: “ .” An “abundance” of caution?? Happy holidays to all of the drunk drivers – and all of the hooligans who are operating a vehicle without a license – or, hey, a suspended license! M “Proactive enforcement” will surely stop those reckless road warriors from destroying someone’s holidays! Putting more enforcement on the streets is really supposed to deter someone dangerous from getting into their vehicle? GIVE ME A BREAK! The NYPD doesn’t pick up local newspapers like the to know that Mayor de Blasio’s Vision Zero (or Zero Vision as I like to call it) isn’t working for the city in small communities – where hit-and-run accidents are rampant and speeding drivers mow over pedestrians while blowing red lights. City officials are too busy shuffling through doctored-up accident reports filed by traffic safety units who turn in statistics that might not reveal the raw story behind the collision. Why are they saying that “ ”? Where are they getting this flimsy information from – their “hidden” files and dumbeddown reports that lack photos of bodies collapsed in the middle of the road? Let’s get real! Just because there aren’t “fatalities” or deaths following the car accidents, it doesn’t mean that safety conditions on our roads have improved! How about those who are paralyzed forever as a result of an accident? How about those who have lost limbs? Someone’s carelessness – perhaps even their own – led to a complete life change that the NYPD doesn’t have in their “files!” The city will come up with any reason to make it look like their efforts are stronger and more forceful… Oh, that’s right – it’s the holidays! Watch out, traffic enforcement will be watching you now more than ever! Well, okay, they were only watching for six days during the month – but they still can’t pro- vide drivers and pedestrians with the brains, skills and patience needed to prevent vehicles from flipping over or ramming into a crowd at a bus stop. It’s not going to stop someone from walking out into the middle of street when they think the road is clear – and it’s not going to prevent those badasses who love to ride their motorcycles from racing up and down Rockaway Parkway. Sure, I can agree on the fact that the holidays are a more hectic time of year – people are more stressed out and erratic. I’m not quite sure about senior centers seeing more action when it comes to car accidents, but creating a “safe environment” takes more than implementing fines or targeting “high trafficked” areas for one week. In our community, there are streets and avenues with repeat offenders – speeding up and down Remsen Avenue or Rockaway Parkway. These thoroughfares constantly see dangerous drivers – and there’s never enforcement around when they’re needed! Traffic cops will hang around for a few hours and days at a time to say they “honed in” on the troubled spots in an attempt to study and crack down on hazardous traffic conditions. The gift of safety is great! But so is the gift of a functioning brain and “decent” individuals who refuse to operate a vehicle when they’re drunk or don’t have a valid license. There’s no such thing as the gift of common sense – unfortunately – and that’s something more people can use ALL the time, not just during the holidays. Ridge Abstract Corp.

Many of Bildersee’s students reside in shelters, which may come as a surprise to some youngsters at the school. A little over 40 children made the trip to the shelter to assist with the special delivery. December 24, 2015 Canarsie Courier 11 Bikes, Buses And Automobiles Discussed At CB18 Meeting Various transportation issues – including everything from traffic lights to buses and bike lanes - and the conversion of the old “Reds” warehouse into a dormitory, were on the Community Board 18’s (CB18) agenda during the final meeting of the year. CB18 District Manager Dorothy Turano said that the board has been trying to get an additional traffic light on Flatbush Avenue, between Avenue V and the Belt Parkway, for quite some time. “We need another break in traffic along that strip,” she said. “We have the Marine Park Golf Course, Nick’s Lobster, beach traffic and Floyd Bennett Field – it’s treacherous!” Turano said that board member Paul Curiale recently reactivated the study and sent another letter to the Department of Transportation (DOT) to request the traffic light. She also said that the January 2016 meeting would be very important because a representative from the DOT will be attending. Still on the subject of Flatbush Avenue, Turano said the DOT is planning a dedicated bike lane on the roadway between Avenue V to the Marine Parkway Bridge. It’s unclear if it would actually be on the roadway or along the sidewalk, which runs on the west side of the avenue and is seldom used by pedestrians. Another important reason to attend the January meeting is the topic of the B82 bus. Turano stated if the bus line becomes an SBS (Select Bus Service), it would take away another traffic lane to be used by buses only, similar to what has been done on Utica and Nostrand avenues. “The B82 bus is the only east/west route and runs all the way from Starrett City to Bensonhurst,” Turano said. She also said it joins six other bus lines, at one point, and she is not in favor of the idea. The District Manager said that an “As-of-Right” project to convert the old Red’s warehouse on Avenue V and Mill Avenue into a dormitory is nothing “but a ploy.” A construction company wants to build a six-story dorm. However, according to Turano, that dormitory would not be for the adjacent Hebrew Academy. Any school throughout the city could use the rooms and would need to sign a 10-year lease. “These people have something else in mind. It would be difficult to get a lease of that length from any school,” Turano said. “It’s always for something else. If they don’t get the lease, the contractors may build some type of a community facility.” She told residents there was no reason to be alarmed at this point. The next meeting of CB18 will be held on Wednesday, January 20th at 8 p.m. at 1097 Bergen Avenue. WE WILL BE CLOSED CHRISTMAS DAY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25TH.

By placing this barrier, we will save lives.” Her profound statement was released not too long after new legislation on ammunition control was publicized this weekend. The local senator, along with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon, announced the state legislation on ammunition control in an effort to address a series of deadly mass shootings nationwide – which includes this month’s terror attack in San Bernardino, where authorities have determined that thousands of rounds were purchased in the lead-up to the assault. Adams, an NYPD veteran and key figure in the passage of the NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act, worked alongside Senator Persaud and Assemblywoman Simon – the measure’s lead sponsors – to craft the bills as they prepare for the upcoming legislative session in Albany. Along with leading anti-gun violence advocates, they spoke about the need for New York to be safer from unchecked mass shooters. “There is a duty to act, a responsibility to put public safety first, in the face of the blood-soaked carnage of mass shootings, made possible by the calculated and unrestricted stockpiling of thousands of deadly ammunition rounds,” said Adams. “When terrorists seek – and succeed – to take advantage of our loose laws to murder innocent people, it is clear we as a nation need to change course. Rational ammunition control is something that every New Yorker can agree on following San Bernardino, Colorado Springs, and the hundreds of mass shootings that have happened in America this year alone.” Under the proposal from BP Adams, SHEN YUN 2016 Ticket Sweepstakes ONLY 5 ENTRIES PER HOUSEHOLD Senator Persaud, and Assemblywoman Simon, Section 270.00 of the New York State Penal Law would be amended to prevent gun dealers from selling ammunition for a firearm to anyone unauthorized to have such a weapon, regardless of the weapon type. Under the current code, only pistols and revolvers are specifically regulated, creating a loophole for those seeking to purchase ammunition for assault weapons. Penalty for the violation of this law would also be increased from a Class B misdemeanor, or not more than three months in jail and not more than $500 in fines, to a Class E felony, or up to four years in prison with a minimum of one year. Additionally, the new measure would create a cap on the amount of ammunition that a person can purchase over a period of 90 days, corresponding to no more than twice the amount of the capacity of the weapon. “If I have a cold I can’t buy Sudafed without ID, but I can walk into any gun shop and walk out with enough bullets to arm a small army without showing any kind of ID,” said Assemblywoman Simon. “I can buy any kind of bullets regardless of what kind of gun I own. I don’t even have to own a gun to stock up on bullets. Nothing stops me from having friends buy even more bullets for me. The sky is the limit. The San Bernardino shooters had 6,000 rounds of ammunition. We need this legislation so that cannot happen here.” State Senator Roxanne Persaud MAIL OR BRING ENTRIES TO: Canarsie Courier, 1142 E. 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236 Name Address City Fill out the attached coupon for A chance to win tickets: SHEN YUN 2016 JANUARY 14 – 17 20 LINCOLN CENTER, DAVID H.

While politicians and commuters came out to change the limited stop line, Canarsie residents may meet the same traveling fate when it comes to the B82 line. According to Councilman Alan Maisel, the MTA is studying the line, which runs from East New York/Starrett City to Gravesend and Coney Island. Displeased with the fact that the Transportation Department has even considered operating an SBS along the B82 route, Maisel recently sent a letter to Commissioner Polly Trottenberg – protesting the proposal. His letter to the commissioner reads as follows: Councilman Alan Maisel This Thug Wanted To Be “Louisiana Fast” An armed criminal wanted more than a fourpiece meal and a biscuit – but got away with nothing – when he tried to hold up a Popeyes fast food joint on Tuesday, December 12th. According to reports, the suspect went into the Popeyes, located at 4930 Kings Highway, at around 10:45 p.m. Instead of simply ordering a meal, the 6’ tall punk whipped out a black handgun and demanded money from one of the employees – who ran away instead of complying. Police said that the suspect was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt at the time of the incident and that he fled the fried chicken franchise without stealing anything. No one was injured – but a surveillance image of the dangerous crook was released to the public this week. Anyone with information on the attempted robbery is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800577-TIPS.

At last week’s Community Board 18 meeting, Community Affairs officer with the 63rd Precinct Ronette Benjamin explained that suicides increase during the holidays, and it’s not uncommon for distraught people to jump to their deaths. The published a story last week ( about a 20-year-old man that was shot multiple times in Georgetown on December 15th. Benjamin explained that the man was not a shooting victim. Apparently, the unidentified man was visiting his ex-wife at a residence on Bergen Avenue when he jumped out of the second-floor window. It’s unclear what transpired while he was in the apartment. He made his way to Ralph Avenue, where he collapsed in front of the nearby Citibank. Two other people plummeted to their deaths – in separate incidents - at Kings Plaza Mall on December 4th (see ). The first man, Bruce Circulnick, a 60-year-old white man, Benjamin said, was drinking a cup of coffee while on the fifth level of the Sears parking garage. “Around 3:37 p.m., he finished his coffee, threw it out, walked over to the edge of the garage and then jumped off the roof,” she said. “At 6:42 p.m. on the same day, a 60-year-old black man, Sam Braithwaite, drove up to the same level of the Sears garage, opened his car door and jumped off the ledge of the parking lot,” the community affairs officer told residents. “He landed two inches from the man who jumped three hours earlier.” Although there is no evidence linking both men in the tragic events, Benjamin said it appears very strange and it’s likely that the incidents could be connected. She also said that both men landed on the concrete near the Kings Plaza Marina. Three young men were shot while standing outside of the Strike 10 Lanes on Strickland Avenue around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 12th (see ). According to Benjamin, there was an argument inside the bowling alley, and the bouncer told the troublemakers to leave the establishment. The suspects went to a car – apparently to retrieve a gun - and someone heard one of them say, ‘Get the brick.’ “They were randomly shooting at people outside the bowling alley. We’re not even sure if any of the three victims – ages 19, 20 and 22 were involved in the argument,” Benjamin said. “One male that was shot had an outstanding warrant. He was subsequently arrested.” The suspects are still on the loose. Anyone with information regarding these incidents 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. Week 3 PSAL Local Basketball Round-Up By Jerry Del Priore Week 3 saw two of the three teams split its respective games while the other picked up a victory in its lone affair, with games played up to press time on Tuesday afternoon. Canarsie Boys Second place Canarsie won its game during the week to help it stay a game ahead of Erasmus Hall Campus in the Brooklyn A Southeast Conference. Junior forward Tyres Desinor paced the Chiefs (52) with a contest-high 25 points and 13 rebounds while senior guard Nathaniel McPherson added 13 in their 54-39 win over visiting Lafayette last week. Tilden Educational Campus Boys The Blue Devils (6-2) went 1-1 during the week to help it maintain their second place position in the Brooklyn B South Conference. Tilden ended the week by falling short to Uncommon Charter High School by a score of 56-54 Monday night on the road. However, earlier in the week, the Blue Devils edged Teachers Preparatory HS/FDA VII (4-4), 48-47. Blue Devils junior point/shooting guard Kamar Gowie led all scorers with 19 points and senior small forward Jade Spencer added 11. Power forward Fred David provided the muscle, grabbing 11 boards in the tilt. East New York Family Academy Boys ENYFA posted a 1-1 record during the week, but are still three games behind Uncommon Charter, who are 8-0 in the Brooklyn B East Division. The Eagles (5-3) used three players, who all scored in double digits, to topple Leon M Goldstein HS for Science (5-3), 65-54, at home Monday night. Junior Donald Semple drained a game-leading 22 points for ENYFA while seniors Elisa Bennet and Malcolm Allen contributed, 19 and 14, respectively. Allen also snatched 14 rebounds in the victory. The first contest of the week saw host Sunset Park (4-4) ground the Eagles by the score of 72-57 last Friday. Bennet had another solid game, dropping in 22 points while Allen added 15 in the defeat.

They will get to meet their grandparents and know their roots.” “I am planning to spend a lot of quality time with my kids and grandkids during the break. I am looking forward to having a lot of fun with them.” “I am going to read plenty of stories to my kids and put on a play. I also plan on taking them to Radio City to see the Rockettes and go Christmas caroling.” “I am preparing to take my wife and daughter to Disney World and Sea World and get away from the cold weather.” NOW 16 Canarsie Courier December 24, 2015 Santa’s Sleigh Lands In East Flatbush Councilman Jumanne Williams wants to make sure every child in the 45th District has a Merry Christmas. That’s why he holds an annual toy drive at his District Office during December. The response is always great, and the donations were distributed to underprivileged kids at his Community Holiday Party, which was held at P.S. 109, 1001 East 45th Street, on Saturday. Williams was joined by other elected officials and Santa Claus at the elementary school, where hundreds of toys put a smile on all the kids’ faces. A DJ, refreshments and a dance performance by the East Village Step Team added to the festive event. Courtesy of Jumaane Williams’ District Office December 24, 2015 Canarsie Courier 17 Beep Spreads Toys And Cheer To Some Lucky Children ‘Santa Claus’ made a special delivery to Borough Hall – a little earlier than expected! Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was excited last Thursday morning to find hundreds of gifts by the Christmas tree in the rotunda of Borough Hall – and he knew he had to share the wealth with hundreds of underserved children. During the special distribution, BP Adams spoke about the importance of generosity during the holidays and how crucial it is to support families struggling to make ends meet. In addition to Old Saint Nick – who was unable to attend the prestigious event – toys were donated from over 30 toy drives held at local businesses, cultural institutions and schools all over Brooklyn.

December 24, 2015 19 Canarsie Courier CEC18 Holds First Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament By Jason Linetsky In the spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship, Community Education Council 18 (CEC18) held its 1st Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament on Saturday. Co-ed teams from public schools 114, 276, 279 and Cultural Arts Academy (CAA) entered P.S. 279’s gym to play in the one-day competition with many parents and siblings watching all the action. “It’s a great thing for kids to have recreation on a Saturday,” said CEC18 President James Dandridge. “It’s also great for parents to have a chance to come out and support their kids.” Dandridge cited councilmembers Alan Maisel and Jumaane Williams as the driving forces behind funding that made the event possible. P.S. 276 and P.S. 279 started the competition with a scoring blitz by P.S. 276’s Josiah Clarke, bringing his team to a first half lead 7-3. However, P.S. 279 took over in the second half led by Mark Luis, who gave them the lead with just over four minutes left in the game. Keyvion Jones-Allen and Justyce Cesar joined Luis to take P.S. 279 to the win 18-7. The second match-up featured P.S. 114 and CAA in a very physical game. Both teams traded fouls throughout the first half and kept the scoring close, going to halftime with P.S. 114 leading 8-6. P.S. 114 came back out to go on a scoring streak, knocking down three baskets and a free throw to take a commanding lead 15-6. They were able to hold off a comeback attempt by CAA’s Gabriel Brown and Karsten Spencer to win 18-11. P.S. 276 and CAA came to the court for their consolation game next and P.S. 276 immediately showed their desire to rebound from their loss to P.S. 279. Luis and Jones-Allen continued to shoot well and Teams pose for a group shot P.S. 276 took home the 4th place trophies. P.S. 279 won the First Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament on their home court. P.S. 276’s Josiah Clarke runs down the court.

Persaud 19th Senate District 24 Canarsie Courier December 24, 2015 MEDICAL UPDATE Vaccines are an important part of planning and having a healthy pregnancy. If you are planning a pregnancy, check with your doctor to make sure you are up-to-date on your vaccines. If you are currently pregnant, doctors and midwives recommend you receive two vaccines during your pregnancy: •Tdap to help protect against whooping cough, and •The flu shot to help protect against influenza. Thinking about having a baby? If you are in the pregnancy planning stages, you may need to receive some vaccines. Your doctor may need to give you vaccines several weeks before you become pregnant because it could take a while for your body to build up disease protection (immunity) after getting the vaccine. Some vaccine-preventable diseases, such as rubella, can lead to serious complications, including birth defects. You can't get the vaccine to prevent rubella if you are currently pregnant. Therefore, planning ahead is very important. During your pregnancy, you should receive vaccines against both the flu (if you haven't already received the vaccine during the current flu season) and whooping cough (pertussis). These vaccines not only protect you by preventing illnesses and complications, but they also pass on some protection to your unborn child.

I came across a wonderful quote that really gives meaning to the word ‘educate’: “If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn” – Michael J. Fox Think about it! Instead of Governor Cuomo trying to fix Common Core learning, I would recommend the Governor find out the needs and wants of our students who really want to learn. The ‘One Size Fits All’ and the ‘Master Key’ to unlocking the minds of our students doesn’t work. As an educator and community education advocate in Brooklyn, I know that all students learn differently. First of all, you have verbal-linguistic word smart learners. These students learn best through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Next, you have the logical-mathematical logic smart learners. These students learn best by classifying, categorizing and thinking abstractly about patterns and numbers. Then, we have the visual-spatial picture smart learners who excel at draw- ing and visualizing things. After that, we have the auditory-musical students who thrive on singing and listening to music. Next, we have the bodily-kinesthetic learners that do extremely well when they work with their hands. Then, we have the interpersonal learners who learn through relating to others and sharing ideas. Next, you will see your intrapersonal-intelligent students who work best alone and setting up their own goals. Finally, let’s talk about the naturalistic learners who love working with nature. These students excel in the sciences and are very passionate about our environment. It’s all about connecting with your students and finding out what works for them. I would recommend that Governor Cuomo focus on bringing back local school boards. Our local school boards had a better snapshot on the needs and wants of their district schools. Next, I would work to improve our Community Education Councils. We need educators on the council board that have a pulse on what is happening in our schools.

An amazing event was held on Saturday, December 19th, at I.S. 211 where gifts were distributed to some lucky students. The annual “Secret Santa” event was hosted in collaboration with Samaritan Homeless Interim Services (SHIP) under the auspices of Tom Oleary and Marion Goldberg. There were raffles and giveaways such as turkeys, hams, gift baskets, a turkey platter and $100 in cash. Principal Carolyn James was very supportive in allowing Catherine Letren, guidance counselor at the East 101st Street school, to organize this major event for the past seven years. Charlene Mitchell, manager of temporary housing for District 18, along with Marsha Friday, Attendance Manager of District 18 – took part in the morning’s festivities.

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.

LI surrendered on December 16th and pled guilty to the charges after the filing of the Information. Li, 29, pled guilty to one count of securities fraud and one count of making a false statement. Count One carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Count Two carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The charges also carry a maximum fine of $5 million, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. In a separate action, the SEC announced civil charges against Li and Canarsie. “As Owen Li has now admitted, he lied to his investors and lied to the SEC. His conduct led to crippling losses for his fund and its investors. Crimes like Owen Li’s taint the entire marketplace and make honest investors wary of investing in securities markets. Thanks to the investigative efforts of the FBI in collaboration with the SEC, Li will be held to account for his deception,”U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. According to the two-count Information filed in Manhattan federal court, Li founded Canarsie Capital, LLC in January 2013 with approximately 10 investors and $16.55 million in assets under management. By the end of 2013, Canarsie had approx- imately $47.75 million in assets under management, and Li earned over $2.2 million that year. Li raised another $16.8 million in 2014, and at the time of its collapse in January 2015, Canarsie had approximately 41 investors and $56.8 million in assets under management. At or around the end of each month, Li and others prepared and sent e-mails to Canarsie’s investors describing the fund’s performance. Those e-mails contained an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) and monthly return. Li repeatedly delayed monthly statements and reported materially different NAVs to his investors. He lied to administrators that he was in the hospital for a week and falsely told investors statements were late because of “staffing changes,” among other fabrications. Li also concealed information from investors about trading and losses and reported fictitious trades to his prime broker. December 24, 2015 Canarsie Courier 36 CROSSWORD PUZZLE 1. Custom 5.
