By Linda Steinmuller It’s spring, and it’s time to do some spring cleaning! Besides cleaning out your garage, our local beaches need some help too! Plumb Beach, located off the Belt Parkway near Sheepshead Bay, needs extra cleaning as it’s expecting some house guests soon. Each May, horseshoe crabs come ashore to lay their eggs, providing food for migrating shorebirds. NYC Audubon has conducted a study on crab population since 2009. On Saturday, the organization, which helps protect wild birds and habitat in the five boroughs, organized a cleanup, in partnership with Gateway National Park, to welcome the crabs. About 55 volunteers picked up all sorts of junk, including needles, an old tire, a beach umbrella, Styrofoam and a lot of “plastic pollution.” NYC Audubon Program and Outreach Manager Darren Klein said plastic bags are particularly hazardous for marine life and sea birds, who often get entangled in the bags. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers, large amounts of litter and debris were collected at the beach cleanup, which took place one day after Earth Day. Founded April 22, 1921 by Walter S.

Motorists speed up and down the roadway, and it’s been the site of numerous car and motorcycle accidents – some fatal - over the years. It’s not easy for pedestrians either. Crossing the busy thoroughfare can be a challenge, especially for seniors, and some have lost their lives in the process. The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) has a plan to improve safety along Rockaway Parkway, which was outlined at last week’s Community Board 18 (CB18) meeting. It’s all part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Vision Zero plan to reduce traffic fatalities in NYC. A Safety Action Plan for each borough was released in 2015, and priority corridors and intersections were identified in each borough. •Rockaway Parkway, between Flatlands and Seaview avenues, was identified as a Priority Corridor. The corridor is just under one-mile long. •Rockaway Parkway and Flatlands Avenue was identified as a Priority Intersection. Kessia Deleo, DOT Project Presenter, revealed shocking statistics to residents at the April 20th meeting and offered solutions to implement safety improvements on Rockaway Parkway. Over a five–year period, between 2010 and 2014, there were a total of 409 injuries on the 0.9-mile Rockaway Parkway corridor. Motor vehicle occupants accounted for the majority of those injuries – totaling 340 – followed by pedestrians, accounting for 63 injuries, and bicyclists numbering six. Three injuries resulted in fatalities. Of the 409 injuries, there were 23 KSIs (persons killed or severely injured). There were two additional fatalities since the study was released, totaling five deaths between 2010 and April 11, 2016. As of press time, a pedestrian succumbed to her injuries almost four months after being struck on Rockaway Parkway and Avenue N on December 31, 2015. See on page 6. The disturbing data reveals that something has to be done - and quickly. Rockaway Parkway is one of the 10 worst corridors for pedestrian KSIs in Brooklyn. While all of the intersections reported a high number of injuries, Rockaway Parkway and Flatlands Avenue has the most – a total of 84 – but Rockaway Parkway and Avenue J has the most fatalities – a total of three. Speeding is rampart near Canarsie High School, between avenues J and K. Statistics show that 92 percent of motorists speed while traveling northbound and 85 percent speed while going southbound on Rockaway Parkway. The data also states that most pedestrians were hit while crossing with the “Walk” signal, and left-hand crashes are the most common motor vehicle crash type. Deleo said pedestrian safety islands will be added at each intersection to shorten crossing distance, and left-turn lanes will help organize traffic better and create safer turns. Improvements also include upgrading all crosswalks with high-visibility markings and installing parking lane strips to discourage speeding and create standard width travel lanes. To improve conditions on Avenue J, pedestrians will be given a head start before vehicles get the green light by installing LPI (leading pedestrian interval) at the crosswalk. According to DOT Press Secretary Jose Bayona, “NYC DOT plans to start implementation this summer and expects to complete the safety improvements by this fall. We expect minimal impacts to traffic as a result of the construction.” The next meeting of CB18 will be held on Wednesday, May 18th at 8 p.m. at 1097 Bergen Avenue.

The southeast corner of the intersection, where many youths and “shady” people hang out, seems to need the most attention – and since most of the residents who frequent that corner live in Bayview Houses, it was fitting that the 69th Precinct Clergy Council bring signs of peace to the location that's always been considered “troubled.” The 69th Precinct Clergy will be congregating at a different location each month where prayer is needed and where families need the most support. Since Bayview Houses is reportedly one of Canarsie's hotspots for criminal activity, spiritual leaders gathered near the project to pray for youths and families. State Senator Roxanne Persaud also offered words of peace and hopes that the clergy's presence at the location brings awareness to the changes that must be made. “I commend the Clergy Council for doing this – because our community needs prayer,” Persaud said. “When our community is touched by the hand of God, it becomes a better community. And today at this corner we're standing on, it's a corner that desperately needs the hand of God. To everyone who's hearing us, we're asking the hand of God to touch all of you so that this corner can become better. This corner is going to be lifted up." While Rev. Moonsam and other clergy members didn't take to the streets and did not go on the grounds of the Bayview Houses, many were glad that the spiritual leaders showed a presence in the area. Deputy Inspector Frank Giordano, commanding officer of the 69th Precinct, thanked Rev. Moonsam for bringing prayer services to the community. "I can't tell you how great it is that we have clergy members reaching out to residents," he said. "Rev. Moonsam is doing a great job connecting Canarsiens and the precinct in hopes of a safer neighborhood." One of the most recent tragedies that struck Bayview Houses was on March 14th when Amani Miller, 23, was shot several times on the fifth floor in the middle of the day inside of 2125 Rockaway Parkway. Miller was a Bedford-Stuyvesant resident who was well liked and many could not justify his murder. A vigil was held for Miller days after the shooting, and police are still on the hunt for his killer or killers. The next prayer vigil hosted by the 69th Precinct Clergy Council is slated to take place at the end of May near the “L” train station at Rockaway Parkway between Glenwood and Farragut roads. Deputy Inspector Frank Giordano talks about keeping community safe. Rev. Cecil Moonsam speaks to community. Canarsie Courier 4 April 28, 2016 Spirit Of Life Holds 15th Annual Walkathon In Bergen Beach On a beautiful sun-kissed Saturday afternoon, family, friends and people from all over Bergen Beach and beyond gathered to celebrate the memory of Tommy Meo Jr. at the 15th Annual Spirit of Life Walkathon at Joseph T. McGuire Park in Bergen Beach. Tommy was a 12-year-old boy who was tragically killed in an accident on September 22, 2000. Every year, the close-knit Bergen Beach community gathers to pay tribute to the young boy’s selfless, giving spirit, his dedication to sports and gift for loving life and people way beyond his youthful age. “Tommy Meo Jr. was an active youth sports participant,” said Paul Curiale, executive director of Millennium Development and administrator for Bergen Beach Youth Organization, which Meo Jr. played multiple organized sports through. “Probably, over the course of my tenure here, 24 years, Tommy was one of the most intense, athletically gifted kids and had just an incredible personality.” Spirit of Life is a non-profit organization started by the Meo family shortly after Tommy’s passing, dedicated in helping the less fortunate. Through the walkathon’s fundraising efforts, the organization has been able to use the monies it collects to directly help families and children in need. “This year, we’re helping an organization called SOARD, which stands for Sunshine on a Ranney Day,” explained Gina Gampero, one of Tommy’s three sisters. “It’s a charity that does dream room makeovers. This is the third year that we’re sponsoring a bedroom makeover. This year, it’s a 14-yearold boy with Down Syndrome.” But the philanthropy doesn’t stop there. Spirit of Life—in conjunction with Gianna Nicole’s Heart of Hope Foundation, a Staten Island-based charity that helps children battle cancer—is also lending a help- The Meo family posing for a photo to show their love for Tommy—pictured (left to right) Tommy’s sisters Jackie, Janine and his parents, Roberta and Tommy senior, along with sister Gina. ing hand to an eighth-grade Staten Island student who is currently fighting non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. “For my family, we took such a negative experience, and we see how much positive that we made from it,” Gampero said. “And for us, that’s rewarding. After 15 years, we still get the same great crowd—new people and old people, people that didn’t even know us, and they’re meeting our brother for the first time. For us, that’s the best part.” This year’s walkathon event, which brought out scores of smiling faces, also featured horse rides, cartoon characters, a miniature racing track, music, a slide, a bouncy house, mechanical rides and raffle prizes donated by a number of local businesses.

Without hesitation, Dr. Yokers climbed into the hole to assist the fallen worker and was able to help stabilize and safely remove him, along with FDNY workers. His urgent and immediate response made all the difference to the worker who was transferred to a neighboring medical facility. When praised for his heroic effort, Dr. Yokers simply replied, “I’m just doing my job!” The story was featured on Channel 4 News. Courtesy of Enid Dillard, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center Local politicians, musicians, artists and activists came together last Saturday for the Brite Leadership Coalition’s (BLC) Fourth Annual ENY Stop the Violence March. The sun came out for the afternoon’s festivities, despite a doom and gloom forecast. “When man plans, God laughs,” State Senator Roxanne Persaud said of the bright sunshine. “So the people can see we are in this fight together,” she added. The BLC was founded in 1985 “specifically to build a bridge of understanding and fellowship between the youth,” as is stated on the organization’s website. BLC’s activities are often centered around Linden Park, where they help with maintenance and organize sporting events. “Because of these initiatives, friendships were developed between young men that were at odds with one another,” according to BLC. After the 1.2-mile march through East New York, a group gathered in Linden Park, and community leaders had the chance to speak on violence. The theme was essentially that a strong community will foster strong ethics. “Hurt people, hurt people. We’re not dealing with the hurt in our neighborhood,” said Assemblymember Latrice Walker. Walker then related a story of a 10-year-old student with a dream of becoming a sharpshooter. Walker hypothesized that the student’s career dream was influenced by the fact that he shared a classroom with the sister of a man who had murdered his brother. The tales were chilly in Linden Park last Saturday, but the future looked bright, as community is fostered through organizations such as BLC, and crime rates continue to reduce. 6 April 28, 2016 Canarsie Courier Another Fatality Added To Rockaway Parkway Death Roster Rockaway Parkway will be undergoing safety improvements this summer, but the work by the NYC Department of Transportation can’t start soon enough. The treacherous roadway claimed another life – that of a pedestrian – bringing the tally to six deaths in almost six years on the section that runs from Flatlands to Seaview avenues. According to police sources, a 66year-old woman succumbed to her injuries on Monday, April 18th after clinging to life for almost four months. The victim, whose name has not been released, was attempting to cross Rockaway Parkway, near Avenue N, on December 31, 2015 around 9:45 a.m. when a gray 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer, traveling westbound on Avenue N, struck the woman while making a left-hand turn onto Rockaway Parkway. The victim was reported to have injuries to her lower body and was transported to Brookdale Hospital but died months later from her injuries. The driver of the Mitsubishi remained on the scene, but the investigation is ongoing by the NYPD Collision Investigation Squad.

On April 23rd, Marine Park Robotics of I.S. 278 won the U.S. Navy-sponsored SeaPerch underwater robotics competition at Flushing Meadows Corona Park Aquatic Center. The team consists of 7th and 8th grade students Andrew Grechko, John Mosca, Matthew Rosenhaus, Julianne Braunstein, Amanda Beckman and Mia Calafiore) highly dedicated to science and robotics. Speaking at the Marine Park Civic Association meeting on April 26th, Coach Bruce Gamsey said the kids come in at 7:15 every morning before school to build their award-winning machines. The team had to design and build an underwater robot, build their motors and wire their control box to be able to complete two different underwater obstacle courses. Additionally, they had to develop a research presentation for the judges. Their hard work is apparently paying off. The team, which has only been in existence for two years, won the Lego League Brooklyn Tournament earlier this year, and after winning the SeaPerch Regional contest in Queens, the team is headed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the national championships. With the date of the Baton Rouge contest fast approaching on May 21st, the team has set up a GoFundMe page, where individuals can donate towards the cost of their trip. They are trying to raise $6,500 for airfare and room and board for the students and their teacher. To contribute, visit www.gofundme.com/24nsbpe4.

The reported that Igor “Iggy” Kanchi was one of 15 people arrested for involvement in a Seattle-based ring that sold $2 million worth of synthetic stimulants in shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Federal authorities have said that abuse of bath salts, which create highs similar to cocaine and ecstasy, has led to serious health consequences and even death. Marc Freund, lawyer for Leor Domatov, the 14-year-old Mill Basin boy who was hospitalized after an e-cigarette exploded in his eyes at the mall’s kiosk shop, told the that Kings Plaza allowed the vape business to operate without insurance and to target minors without citymandated signage. “This is shockingly reckless disregard for child safety by the mall," Freund said. “He's convicted and sentenced and yet Kings Plaza, with no background check, allows him to open a vape kiosk and allows him to peddle these e-cigarettes." On April 5th, Domatov went to Kings Plaza with two friends and visited Plaza Vapes. A clerk allegedly began showing them products even though it’s illegal to sell e-cigarettes to people under 21. When the clerk plugged an e-cigarette into the wrong battery, it exploded. Shrapnel-like pieces of metal tore through Domatov’s cornea, blinding him in his left eye. As of press time, Kings Plaza has not released a statement regarding the owner of Plaza Vapes. April 28, 2016 Canarsie Courier 13 Congratulations On Landmark Anniversary! I am writing to congratulate the and its management on the 95th anniversary of its establishment. Ninety-five years is quite an impressive record for any small business and makes the a contender for the title of Canarsie’s oldest business, along with Popkin’s Motor Parts, which was established as a grain and feed business in the early 20th century. This landmark anniversary seems to me an appropriate time to revisit the issue of restoring Lester J. Stillwell to his rightful place in history. As you know, on April 21, 1921, the was founded by Walter S. Patrick and Lester J. Stillwell. However, by the end of the year, it had failed, and, in 1923, was revitalized by Mr. Patrick. Mr. Stillwell, however, never severed his friendship with Mr. Patrick, nor his connection to Canarsie and, in fact, is interred in Canarsie Cemetery together with his late wife, Natalie. Following the death of Managing Editor Chuck Rogers, I was privileged to be given access to some documents, which were found in his files. Among these documents was a letter from a party who had personally known Mr. Patrick’s landlord in Canarsie during the early years. Shockingly, the letter stated that, at that time, Mr. Patrick was a communist and an atheist. However, largely through the influence of Mr. Stillwell, who was his friend as well as his business partner, he renounced communism and found God, to the extent that he began to study for the ministry. He was ultimately ordained, and, in 1935, he sold the to embark on his career in the ministry. I was initially puzzled that Chuck, who was a dear friend, never shared this letter with me. Upon further consideration, I realized that he, ever the gentleman, knew that I held Mr. Patrick in high esteem and did not want to tarnish my image of him. For several years, I have agonized over whether to share this information with the public and finally decided to do so because it demonstrates that in addition to impacting upon Canarsie’s history by establish the Mr. Stillwell had a profound and redemptive influence on another human being’s life. I am, therefore, suggesting that the masthead be modified to read as follows: This will serve to restore Mr. Stillwell to his rightful place in history, something that, in my opinion is long overdue. Before closing, I must pause to remember some of those who were instrumental in the over its lifetime. In addition to Messrs. Patrick and Stillwell, these include Publishers Edward M. Herrschaft (1935-1959), Robert and Joseph Samitz, Joseph’s wife, Helen, and Robert’s wife, Mary, who served as Publisher following Robert’s death. I must also acknowl- edge the late editors, Maurice Paul and my dear friend, Charles (Chuck) Rogers. When I wrote a similar piece for the 90th anniversary, I remarked to Chuck that I looked forward to collaborating with him on the 95th and 100th anniversary editions. Sadly, that was not to be. Finally, I want to thank publisher Donna Marra and her husband, Alex, for keeping the alive, an obvious labor of love on their part, and for their heartfelt friendship and support. I trust that the next 95 years of the existence will be equally productive and successful.

The mission of Souljerz is to educate young kids about true Hip-Hop Culture versus rap music (a subdivision of Hip-Hop) via the original four elements (Graffiti art, DJ/beatbox, BBoys/BGirls and MC/Rapper). The “101” assembly shared the stories of some original pioneers from the funk era (1960’s) and traveled up to the present day, ultimately leading to a discussion of “Where will the future take us?” The project merged fun, participation and curiosity. Its largest reward is that it bridges all generation gaps and sparks questions from students to their older relatives like “What was it like to experience Hip-Hop back then?” or “Can you still dance/rap?” If you’re looking to get this type of Hip-Hop education brought to your school, contact Souljerz Crew at www.souljerzcrew.com. Photos courtesy of David Isidor (aka BBoy Irv), Souljerz Crew Compiled by Stacy Smith Recently, there have been instances of e-cigarettes exploding and causing severe damage to e-cigarette users, including a 14-yearold boy in Kings Plaza Mall. What do you think should be done about this problem? “E-cigarettes are just as dangerous and harmful. Either way you look at it, you’re still smoking and inhaling. They should be taken off the market especially since what happened to the 14-year-old boy.” “Personally, I think they should be banned. If you’re going to smoke, buy the real cigarettes or quit. There are many alternatives to quitting.” “E-cigarettes definitely need to be banned. They shouldn’t be selling them at any kiosk stands. The sellers should be licensed, and the buyers should be proofed. It is very sad what happened, and this could have been prevented. Hopefully, they will stop promoting and selling it. They need to promote the harmful side effects and danger.” “I always see advertisements for them. I think it’s dangerous because it can explode where cigarettes can’t. They are both unhealthy, but cigarettes have been around forever; e-cigarettes are new, and people don’t realize the seriousness to using it.” “E-cigarettes can be bought online. Stop selling them; they are no less harmful and now you can suffer injury. If they must, stricter sales and warnings...” April 28, 2016 Canarsie Courier 15 Proposed Bus Lane On Flatlands Avenue Not Welcome Here Anyone who has driven down Utica Avenue in a car lately knows how inconvenient a four-mile bus lane can be. Thanks to the bill signed into law by Governor Cuomo, a well-moving, two-lane, major avenue is suddenly transformed into a slow-moving, congested, one-lane street where you cannot make a left turn for five or six blocks at a time. Then, there are the dollar van drivers, who use the bus lane as their own personal fast lane, and the scofflaws who use it to pass a whole line of cars that are actually obeying the rules of the road, making the strip more treacherous than ever before by creating additional chaos and confusion. Supporters of the bus lane initiative, namely the citizens’ group Transportation Alternatives, claim just the opposite. They suggest that bus lanes make streets safer. They say that bus lanes help mass transit commuters get to where they are going faster; making buses a more desirable mode of transport. They believe this will cause more people to take the bus - instead of driving - and that if fewer cars are on the road, the streets will be safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. While it is true that many drivers now try to avoid Utica Avenue because of the tremendous increase in traffic, most simply find alternative routes to their destinations as inconvenient as that may be. Many question the validity of the safety issue, and say that buses and bicycles are equally as likely to crash and injure pedestrians as cars. Bus lanes and bike lanes are popping up all over Brooklyn and causing quite a stir in many communities where they are unwelcome. At the Mill Island Civic Association’s April 21st meeting, at Sunrise Assisted Living, Councilman Alan Maisel addressed the community’s concern over a similar bus lane, proposed to be created on Flatlands Avenue. The length of the proposed bus lane, and the cross streets affected, has not yet been disclosed. Maisel assured community members that he was in strong opposition to the proposal and said that if it became a more concrete plan, he would do everything in his power to prevent its creation. If that turns out to be the case, Maisel intends to conduct a mass mailing to inform local residents and to gain their support in opposing the bus lane, but at this time, officials are taking await-and-see approach.

In 1984, the playground, located on East 95th Street, near Avenue L, was dedicated to the late Cecil Sledge, a police officer in the 69th Precinct who was killed in the line of duty in 1980. Former Councilman Herb Berman allocated $500,000 to reconstruct the .328-acre park in 1996. Today, Cecil Sledge Playground is a beautiful park, complete with modern play equipment, spray showers and a garden area.

Gurevich explained that the elderly are far more likely to fall victim to phone scams simply because they are so much more polite than young people. The elderly are often reluctant to hang up on solicitors and will usually hear a caller out even if they suspect something is amiss. He addressed the ‘IRS Scam,’ which has already robbed victims of an estimated $6 million to date. This scam begins with a phone call from someone with a Washington, DC area code, who claims to be an employee of the Internal Revenue Service, demanding the payment of back taxes. The caller usually threatens jail time and demands immediate Alexander Gurevich, Associate Director of the Office of Public Engagement for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. The NYPD is asking the public’s assistance in locating a male who was last seen on Batchelder Street, near Avenue V, in the confines of the 61st Precinct around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, April 25th. Police sources said Christopher Greene, a 13-year-old male, was last seen wearing a t-shirt, blue shorts and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance. Christopher is described as 5’5”, weighing 100 lbs. The missing teen is reported in good physical condition. Anyone with information regarding this missing person is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish 1-88857-PISTA (74782).

Similarly, there is the ‘Jury Duty Scam,’ in which a caller claims to be an employee of the County Clerk’s office and demands that the victim pay a fine for ignoring a jury duty summons. Gurevich warned that these con artists can be very persuasive, but that no government employee would ever demand immediate payment. He advised anyone who receives such a call to hang up before they are sucked into the scheme. Perhaps worst of all, Gurevich discussed the ‘Grandchild Scam,’ which is also targeted towards senior citizens and plays particularly well on their heart strings. In this scenario, the scammer will first utilize social media to identify a young person who is on vacation, identify their grandparents, and then make their call. When the grandparent answers the phone, the scammer identifies themselves as the grandchild, explains that he or she has gotten into some trouble on vacation and asks that they send money via Western Union or bank wire without alerting their parents. The grandparent almost always falls for this one, and the results can be financially devastating for an elderly person on a fixed income. Gurevich urged anyone who has fallen victim to this or any kind of phone scam to contact the DA’s Action Center at 718-250-2340 right away. With cases like these, time is of the essence, so it is important to act quickly. 18 Canarsie Courier April 28, 2016 Kings Plaza Holds Earth Day Fashion Competition The voice of Southern Belle and self-proclaimed “New Miss Mississippi” Jules Nobles echoed through Kings Plaza Mall last week welcoming the public to witness the mall’s new annual event: Recycle the Runway. Five contestants were chosen to take a variety of items, which would normally be thrown out, and create outfits on mannequins. An additional surprise item had to be incorporated into all the designs. Four judges from the fashion industry scored the dresses based on style, originality, creativity, wearability and the use of recycled/sustainable materials. “This is the first time we’re hosting Recycle the Runway at Kings Plaza, but we have hosted it at the Queens Center Mall in the past,” stated Dawn Simon, Area Senior Manager, Marketing Kings Plaza. “Hosting the event on Earth Day gives it a stylish nod, and it creates more awareness to Earth Day in a fun and fashionable way. I think we got a great response from people in the community who are interested in participating, and I’m really excited to see their creativity unfold right in front of our eyes.” Each contestant brought their own wide assortment of materials and tools, including electrical tape, garbage bags, glue sticks and crochet needles. Kings Plaza provided the extra items: One-yard pieces of advertisement banner fabric. They had to complete their work in an hour in front of shoppers. Prizes ranged from $50 Kings Plaza gift cards for 4th and 5th place winners to the grand prize of a $1,000 Kings Plaza gift card. The clothing showed the creativity of each participant’s ideas, including everything from a practical top and shorts outfit for a household chef to a dress for a night out on the town. There was a tie for the grand prize, so a tiebreaker challenge was assigned to the remaining competitors: creating a handbag in a half hour with just the remaining unused materials. Trudy Miller, an architect and sustainable fashion designer, created a nightlife dress, which would allow women to alter its size. Her competition came from eco-friendly fashion designer Jakiem Crayon, who made a literal hoop skirt using a hula hoop, garbage bags, a roll of packing paper with a painted bra, gold belts for a choker and the mall’s fabric for a headpiece. In the tiebreaker, Miller utilized a few feet of her remaining fabric to create a bag she could wear with ties around her neck and waist. Crayon, who had the misfortune of throwing away his remaining fabric prior to the scores being read, was allowed to use one of the remaining yards of the mall’s fabric and grabbed up unused event programs. He masterfully folded, cut, taped and glued pieces together to make a clutch purse with a cell phone slot inside. The crowd and judges agreed with the final results of Crayon taking home the grand prize. “My initial inspiration was from my grandmother, Irene Jones, who passed away in 2009,” said Crayon. “I wanted to incorporate an African design and add in many landmarks to the skirt. Doing this competition in Brooklyn was very important to me. It gave us a chance to show Brooklyn that it was possible to recycle many of the things we would normally throw out. I want this to keep going until the rest of the world learns to do the same.” Recycle the Runway was the prelude to Fashion Week Brooklyn, which will kick off on May 1st from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Kings Plaza. A part of Kings Plaza will transform into a runway and feature merchandise from the mall’s retailers in a fashion show. All five designs of the competition will remain on display through the end of Fashion Week Brooklyn in the mall’s concourse. The judges preparing to score the work of five contestants.

Smokin’ Thieves Try To Win Big Two cigarette-smoking robbers – with a gambling addiction – robbed a Sheepshead Bay convenience store and got away with a variety of items. Police sources said two gun-wielding men entered a 7-Eleven store, located at 3768 Nostrand Avenue, around 3:54 a.m. on Sunday, April 10th. They stole 39 packs of cigarettes, $400 worth of lottery tickets, $40 and the clerk’s cell phone and wallet before fleeing the store on foot. The NYPD released photos of the thieves and are asking for the public’s assistance in tracking down the two male suspects.

The team enjoyed a top 10 finish – tying for ninth place. The Midwood High School team consists of five seniors: Andrew Li (captain), Samuel Makarovskiy, Joseph Parziale, Bart Rosenzweig and Austin Siu. The Finals competition theme was “Our Changing Ocean: Science for Strong Coastal Communities.” The competition tested students’ knowledge of ocean-related topics, which include cross-disciplines of biology, chemistry, policy, physics and geology by answering buzzer-style, multiple choice questions and longer, critical thinking-based team challenge questions. They also participated in the Science Expert Briefing, a mock congressional hearing where they presented science recommendations on a piece of legislation, bettering their understanding of how science informs policy. The Midwood seniors won the Bay Scallop Bowl regional competition (one of 25 regional competitions for the NOSB) in March and joined 23 other regional team winners (out of a total of 369 competing teams) at the Finals in North Carolina. This is the first time students from Midwood High School have competed in the NOSB. The team’s coach and Assistant Principal of Administration Alan Stack said, “It was our first time making nationals and our success in the round robin part of the tournament allowed us to be one of the top 16 teams entering the double elimination rounds. We survived long enough to crack into the top 10 and were very happy with our performance at the national level.” “Midwood is very likely the only team in the competition that does not offer any courses in Marine Biology, Physical Oceanography, Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Physical Meteorology or Ocean Science. That being said, our students proved that hard work and high ambitions can lead to great accomplishments. We overcame long odds to win our regional event at Stony Brook and then bested more than half the teams at the national event,” Stack said.

However, head coach Kyle Allen isn’t overly concerned with the competition. “There are three powerhouses in the PSAL, with Curtis, Lincoln and EHall (Erasmus),” Allen said. “After that, it’s up for grabs, because there’s a lot more parity in the PSAL than in recent years.” The Chiefs kick off the season on Staten Island against Port Richmond—-who made the postseason last year—-in early September. Canarsie plays five other teams who made the playoffs in 2015, including Grand Street Campus (last season’s champs), Midwood, Erasmus, Brooklyn Tech and FDR, who the PSAL moved up to the City Conference after three successful seasons in the Bowl Division.

While the Chiefs’ schedule is stacked with tough teams, Allen believes they will reload with capable returning talent and key call ups from junior varsity along with their cohesive nature that will help them shock a lot of their 2016 foes. “I wouldn’t be surprised when this team wins,” he said. “This team works together. They’re going to overachieve or (at least) meet expectations. We’re Canarsie High School head coach Kyle Allen going to quietly sneak off some wins.

April 28, 2016 25 Canarsie Courier Schumer Adds Provision To Bill To Give Sex Abuse Victims More Time To Seek Justice U.S. Senator Charles Schumer announced last week that a new provision was added to his bill, the Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act of 2016, that would allow children who were victims of crimes such as sex trafficking, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and other crimes related to child pornography to sue their abuser for the pain and suffering they caused – for up to 10 years after the child turns 18. Current law only provides a statute of limitations extension for three years after the child turns 18. Schumer said that is not long enough and added that this provision is particularly important for cases of child pornography, where a minor may not find evidence of the exploitation online until later in life. “The sands of time should not fall in the favor of criminals – especially sexual predators. This provision rightfully extends the chance a child victim of sexual abuse or pornography has to take action against those who caused them harm,” said Schumer. “I have always supported fully funding the Adam Walsh Act because it protects our kids, but the provision we added gives it even more teeth by rightfully extending the window in which a civil action can be brought against an abuser. The three years provided under the law right now is just not long enough.” Schumer is the lead democratic sponsor of The Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act and is vowing to push for passage of this critical legislation, which includes important provisions to protect children from sexual exploitation and violent crimes. Amongst other protections, the legislation provides funding for the U.S. Marshals that help track down and apprehend fugitive sex criminals. Second, the legislation extends the statute of limitations for federal civil claims against abusers. The current statute of limitations for civil suits is only three years after the child BLOOD AT THE ROOT T icket Sweepstakes turns 18. Schumer says that statute of limitations for civil claims must be extended to 10 years, which is the current standard for criminal cases. Additionally, The Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act includes key provisions of Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act to ensure rape kits are preserved and to establish a bill of rights for sexual assault survivors. Schumer said that passage of The Adam Walsh Reauthorization Act would allow more time for a victim to sue for pain and suffering, ensure law enforcement is funded to go after fugitive sex offenders and provide rights to sexual assault victims.

Following serogroup B meningococcal vaccination, more than half of the people who get the vaccine will have mild problems: Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given • Tiredness (fatigue) • Headache • Muscle or joint pain • Fever or chills • Nausea or diarrhea These reactions usually get better on their own within 3 to 7 days, but serious reactions are possible. Among preteens and teens there is also a risk of fainting after getting these or any shots. Meningococcal disease refers to any illness that is caused by Neisseria meningitis bacteria. The two most severe and common illnesses caused by these bacteria include infections of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and bloodstream infections (bacteremia or septicemia). Symptoms of meningococcal disease may include sudden onset of a high fever, headache, or stiff neck. It can start with symptoms similar to influenza (flu), and will Talk with your teen’s clinician about meningococcal vaccination to help protect your child’s health. Meningococcal disease is a very serious illness where death can occur in as little as a few hours. Meningococcal disease is not very common in the United States, but teens and young adults are at increased risk. The good news is that there are licensed vaccines to help prevent the most common types of meningococcal disease in the United States (serogroups B, C, and Y). All 11 to 12-year-olds should be vaccinated with a single dose of a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine. A booster dose is recommended at age 16 so teens continue to have protection during the ages when they are at highest risk of meningococcal disease. This vaccine helps protect against serogroups A, C, W, and Y, but not serogroup B. If your teenager missed getting a dose, ask their clinician about getting it now. Teens and young adults (16 through 23-year-olds) may also be vaccinated with a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine, preferably at 16 through 18 years old. Two or three doses of a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine are needed, depending on the brand, and the same brand must be used for all doses. Talk with your teen’s clinician if you are interested in serogroup B meningococcal vaccination. About half of the people who get a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine have mild problems following vaccination, such as redness or pain where the shot was given or a mild fever. A small percentage of people who get the vaccine develop a mild fever. These reactions usually get better on their own within 1 to 2 days, but se- often also cause nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light, rash, and confusion. If you think you or your child has any of these symptoms, call the doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important. Meningococcal disease can be treated with antibiotics (medicines that kill bacteria in the body). However, even with antibiotic treatment, 10 to 15 out of 100 people with meningococcal disease will die. About 11 to 19 out of every 100 survivors will have long-term disabilities, such as loss of limb(s), deafness, nervous system problems, or brain damage.

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOH) is warning city residents of the widely broadcasted Zika Virus, which by summer ’s end, could be a threat to more than just travelers. Currently, the Zika outbreak has been limited to south of the United States, in places such as Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. The mosquitos that have thus far carried Zika are not found as far north as NYC, but the DOH is concerned about a certain species of mosquito, or Tiger Mosquito, which has the potential to spread the virus via an infected person in the region. Zika is most threatening to pregnant women, because of the birth defects the virus may cause. Zika has been linked to fetus death, growth restriction, central nervous system injury and microcephaly — a birth defect which causes a smaller than normal head compared to infants of the same age. Speaking at the Madison-MarineHomecrest Civic Association meeting last Thursday, DOH Director of Community Affairs Ricky Wong warned property owners to clean out standing water from old bird feeders, buckets, tires, gutters, etc. Mosquitos breed in standing water, so it’s important to limit their propagation around the home as much as possible. Wong also warned people traveling to southern regions to take precautions against mosquito bites, such as insect repellent, long sleeves and fans while sleeping. Sexual transmission is also a major concern. 80 percent of infected people do not get sick, but they can still transmit the disease via sexual activity. When traveling to an infected region, condoms can prevent the disease from being spread undetected through sexual activity. More information about Zika can be found on the NYSDOH website. The next Madison-Marine-Homecrest Civic Association meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 19th at the Carmine Carro Community Center, 3000 Fillmore Avenue (near Madison Place).

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. 757 East 86th Street, Brooklyn New York 112363618 (718) 257-2400; Rev.
